Digital Painting Tutorial - Greyscale to Color Painting

If you’ve ever struggled with how to start a painting then this is the digital painting tutorial for you!

We take care of two big hurdles when in that ‘stuck’ phase of beginning a new portfolio or sketch piece, namely: 

  • what should I paint? 
  • How should I start?

We’ll begin with good photo reference and then add some story to it!

This way you can study while at the same time, create something fresh and full of life! This takes the ‘boring’ out of your studies! Two for the price of one!

In this 3 hour digital painting tutorial:

  • Learn a unique way to start your photo/reference study
  • Begin easy, with a greyscale sketch
  • Convert it to a basic color tone
  • Paint loose, impressionist brush strokes over the top
  • Learn about intuitive color harmonies and color vibration to avoid a muddy painting
  • Learn to avoid over-rendering so we can be more efficient with our time!
