One Layer [watercolor] Background Tutorial - Part 3

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 [you are here]


    Step 4: If you're happy with your grass base, ignore this step. If you feel like your base needs a little extra - give if some touch ups. I felt that my base was a little too dull so I chose two new colors, one lighter and one darker of the base grass color I originally chose and brushed some of those colors I felt was needed here and there. Once I thought it looked better now it's time to go the the final and most time consuming stage: grass blades.

    Step 5:

    Work from top to bottom, small brush size to large. The farther away an object is the smaller and less detail is required. Up The opacity from it's original 70 to something around 170+, and make sure you have a little smoothing on so nothing has a too sharp of an edge on it. You might need to test and undo a couple times until you find something you like.

    Just like with the clouds - color pick and brush up and out to get a nice grass blade look. Grass doesn't go all the same direction sometimes so let it go everywhere if you want. If you hand starts to hurt takes a break from it, grass can be a pain sometimes. As you work your way down slowly up the brush size. I went from a size 2 to eventually size 6-7 with my example panel.

    But once your done with the grass the picture is all nice and pretty and finished!
So full of hate were our eyes
That none of us could see
Our war would yield countless dead
But never victory
So let us cast arms aside
And like discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe
Whilst we find the path
