Friday!

Digital Painting Reminders:

-Copy your original image and hide it.

-paint on a new layer either above your copy or below it. (if you are using the photocopy method, remember to delete the white in the photocopy layer if you are painting under that layer)

-make new layers as you change colors or as it makes sense to.  This makes it easier to edit your work.

-merging layers is not requires, but if you merge layers only do so once you are 100% confident you will not need to edit anything.

-try different brushes to get different effects

-create light, medium and dark values of colors

-THINK about the impressionist painters.  THINK about the light.
