Still Life – Two Pears
Still life painting – Pears
I added digital painting tools such as Krita to my painting processes a good few years ago now, I love the directness that they offer and the ability to start working quickly. I find that they help me to plan out the processes involved in each painting that I want to complete.
Using digital structures such as layers and masks I can get a painting organised in my mind, making good notes along the way. Later when it comes to using Oils or Acrylic paints for the same work or project, I then have a good idea as to how I will approach my processes.
My digital painting work-desk, uses an easel placed to one side of my monitor to hold my source work such as (sketches, photos or a tablet). If I am painting directly from a still life setup I place my monitor to one side and paint on screen in the same way as having a canvas on an easel! I use a Wacom tablet and art pens as my drawing tools.
The still life images I have posted here are from a set that show the steps from the start to the finish of a still life of two pears, making good use of Layers and masks etc..,
