![]() 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. Try taking some of these images that are now Pubic Domain and see what you can do with them……Digital Lady Syd It did take a lot of steps, but it was really fun to do. Used Selective Color and Color Balance Adjustment Layers to do the color correction. The last steps was just adjusting the color in the image as the yellow and green colors were over-whelming the image. The layer was then reduced to 61% layer opacity. A New Layer was set to Overlay blend mode and painted with a black brush set to 12% brush opacity to burn in a little to emphasize the tower in foreground. Created another stamped layer on top and applied Photoshop’s Halftone Pattern Filter (Size 2, Contrast 50 and Pattern Type Dot), which was set to Color Burn blend mode and 14% layer opacity. Created two New Layers and painted in some color and clouds in the sky using Kyle’s Real Watercolor Big Wash brush. I created a preset to give a nice painterly result based on the Abstract Settings by Blake Rudis preset ( changes made: Type 04, Brush Size 0.65, Stroke Color Variation 0.10, and Stroke Length 0.22). A stamped layer was placed top (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E) and Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Impression was opened. A Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer was placed on top and these Master slider settings were used: Hue -26, Saturation -71, and Lightness -29. In its Layer Style, the Blend If This Layer white tab was split (ALT+drag) and set to 228/255 and Underlying black tab split to 0/123 which gives a nice texture effect.

The texture was duplicated twice and place on top, one set to Multiply blend mode at 23% layer opacity and the other Overlay blend mode at 51% layer opacity. Exposure Adjustment Layers were used for the eye, green around eye, and beak. It was not perfect but since I was painting the bird, I could smooth out the feathers and blend them into the background, which I did in Painter. I was able to clean the image up pretty good with clone stamping and then separated the bird from the background using Topaz (see sidebar for website link) ReMask 5. This bird was a bit of challenge as there were tree branches in front of her body and feathers. I just love painting birds and this Snowy Egret was once again a lot of fun to do.
