Painter Techniques

[valerostudio]

I currently use Photoshop and SketchUp to create digital watercolor renderings. Please see my work here www.valerostudio.com

I just recently purchased Painter and I am looking to start using it as part of my workflow and I would greatly appreciate and tips and techniques you guys could share. Especially Dennis - I really love you work!

Thanks in advance.

Amaizing. Simetimes fill sick of photoreal. Want some art stile. I think every presentation could be more effective if it have some of that. Nice.

Matthew-

Are you sure you want to change your workflow? Looks great to me.

I especially like the masterplan renderings (#8 thru 10) on your site. This is a very useful style.

Some of your building renderings (older work?) seem a bit off, but it appears your latest works have the style nailed. The watercolor texture you are achieving is very realistic.

On the building renderings, the ones that maintain some white space, allowing the paper to show through, seem most successful to me.

I use painter in my workflow, but even after using it for a couple years it still feels like it slows me down. Photoshop is still my choice for quick NPR work. Typically my clients that choose NPR over realistic are at an early design stage and/or want to keep the cost down, so speed is key.
