This is just a short quick blog to explain the above image.
Trying out Very Wet Watercolor Brushes in Painter I was pleased how the texture fits with the bird……Digital Lady Syd A Selective Color Adjustment Layer’s White Color was selected to make the white color behind the bird stand out just a little more – set Black slider to -37. On a stamped layer on top, PS Camera Raw’s Radial Filter was used to add focus to the face and beak – painted out with the brush parts of body not to be emphasized.

An Exposure Adjustment Layer (see my How To Do a Quick Eye Sharpening in Photoshop blog) was used to sharpen the eye. They were placed underneath the bird and on a New Layer on top, the edges of the bird were blended into the texture.

Both textures used Quick Fix Color Brushes from Karen Sperling’s Artistry Quick Fix Video (#4 in this case) Series (check them out-and inexpensive way to learn Painter and she provides some of the best Painter brushes!), and the second also used a blender I created, and the other used Karen’s. The texture is made up of two textures I created in Corel Painter 2015. This is my favorite brush for painting birds and has been used on most of my bird paintings. The bird was painted using Fay Sirkis’s (from KelbyOne) Precious Diamond Blender brush (her Mixer brushes are wonderful), then changing to it to add color when needed. Since I was going to paint him, it did not have to be perfect. This time I actually used a layer mask to separate most of the bird from the tree limbs behind him. This is just another example of one of the magnificent birds hanging out looking for a mate. It is such an incredible place to get bird images in the Spring. I seem to have an endless supply of these bird images from the St. That is all that was done to get this soft feel to these interesting birds….Digital Lady SydĪ Tricolored Heron That Fell in a Painting! Therefore Topaz Lens Effect’s Fog I preset was applied ( Amount 0.19, Angle 135.4, and Diffusion 0.14) to get the softer color effect, especially in the lower part of the image. A stamped layer was placed on top. I felt the birds looked too bright before this was done. One was set to Multiply blend mode at 59% layer opacity and one to Overlay blend mode at 60% layer opacity. Then the texture was duplicated twice and placed above the birds. A Regular brush layer and a Mixer brush layer were used to paint some of the feathers and the branch they were on. (See my Digital Lady Syd Reviews Topaz ReMask 5 blog.) After creating a layer mask in ReMask, one of my Painter backgrounds was placed underneath the birds. Not sure how I get such funny pictures of birds! I really wanted to take Topaz (see sidebar for website link) ReMask 5 through its paces and it worked really great on this image. This rather unique image of these two Macaws, a Scarlet and a Blue and Yellow, was taken at the St. Lots of fun with this brush and the new Painter version……Digital Lady Syd
Both of these filters could have been applied in Painter. The last step was to use Nik Viveza 2 to help guide the eye through the image. A Dual Tone filter was applied using the Top Left Red Leak preset and changing a few of the sliders to get a more pronounced sunset feeling in the sky. On a stamped layer (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E) on top, Topaz Lens Effects was opened. In Photoshop some of the sharp edges on those painted patterned layers were cleaned up where the Painter strokes overlapped a little too much. The surf effect was created using the Eraser Tool in Painter. Most of the image was created in Painter which can put each color and stroke on different layers if you want. This brush can be very addictive, especially if you follow her instructions and make a few variants of your own. This used a Spring Particle brush that Corel Master Winifred Whitfield is giving away to use with the her video called Watercolor Spring Particles. This image was my first created in the new Corel Painter 2016.
