Digital watercolor process in Rebelle 7

[@RocioAbrahamLlamas-di2gz]

Oh this is so beautiful! 😍 My favorite technique... Watercolors! Why? Because they let me go with the flow, the experience to leave the control and let the water make their job creating amazing shapes and textures excites me too much and I find the watercolor aesthetic idyllic!

[@kamillu]

Exactly! This is what I love in w a tercolors too! Letting go the co trop can be frustrating but so rewarding I'd you dare :). Can you please send me your address on [e-mail]. I will gladly send the art print to you :)

Thank you so much for posting this! Your art is incredible, and it was really helpful seeing Rebelle's watercolour features in action

[@kamillu]

I am happy to hear you liked it!

[@LillenArt2]

Thanks! I just got Rebelle and I'm still learning how to use it. I didn't realize you could wet the entire layer. Love your art!

[@kamillu]

Happy to hear Lillen, thank you! Have fun with experimenting with Rebelle :)

[@Icemag54]

Thank you for the video! I just purchased Rebelle 7 and at the first look it was very difficult to figure out how to use watercolors. You video answered all the questions, many thanks

[@kamillu]

Always happy to help. Feel free to ask if something won't be easy to understand :)

Beautiful artwork, and great painting process. My favorite technique is "everything". Sincerely... I watch someone painting, and I want to use that technique. Now I want to paint like you ;). Maybe my preferred techniques, always using Rebelle, is watercolor, loose or "controlled". Then Oils. Sometimes Oils + watercolor. Rebelle watercolors are awesome, specially when you start controlling it. You can do almost all you want, and the... sometimes it offers something new to you :).

[@kamillu]

Thanks for your answer! I totally get you when it fomes to "everything as a fav technique :D I also love switching. But watercolors are the fav medium because, as you noticed, they always can surprise us. I love that Rebelle can replicate this spontaneity ❤

Nice review! I've been a fan of yours since I saw your first Rebelle review several years ago. Impressive piece of software, and nice work!

[@kamillu]

Awww,❤ so nice to hear! Thank you! The software still amazes me, even after years. It developed so much through these years. I hope I managed to explain my process of digital watercolor painting in Rebelle :)

[@bobamundson3912]

You explained it great! If I ever get around to buying it, I'll do through your affiliate link. I'm afraid I'm still mostly a fan of using plain old pencils, maybe because it's where I started :-)@@kamillu

[@kamillu]

Thank you Bob, being faithful to traditional media is understandable ❤ I still love the watercolor technique the best, but switching all these madia, from digital to traditional, from markers to acrylics and so on is something what works best for me. And I think this is what we should focus on - on techniques which makes us fee excited :)))

anytime :)

Great detailed review. I have always been interested to see how this program works. Lots of useful tools. I like the brush effects showing natural effects, the blow tool is pretty cool. My art favorite techniques would be pen drawings and 3d sculpting. Rough pen drawings bit messy type of to sketch ideas or block shapes. 3d sculpting to build natural shapes. Maybe I might check rebelle out. The artwork looks amazing!

[@kamillu]

Thank you Farrukh, yes I also love playing with the blow tool :) I think understanding how water works in Rebelle isn't easy but when someone will get it all the fun begins!

Have you used Photoshop for watercolour type work? And if so is this way superior? Is there a steep learning curve on this program? Or did you find it pretty straight forward and intuitive? Love your work by the way. 🙂

[@kamillu]

@@philjudd3473 Rebelle is way, way superior than Photoshop for especially traditional looking digital painting. The brushes and their behavior are uncomparable. In Photoshop I used mainly Kyle T. Webster watercolor brushes, they are great, but I Rebelle is just another level. It is very intuitive, lots of shortcuts works the same. The i only thing you need to learn to work with is the water factor which makes the paint spreading, how to use and control it. But there is a lot of tutorials for Rebelle explaining this. Honestly, I am thinking about canceling Adobe subscription and replacing Photoshop with Rebelle in a long run. I use Photoshop only for color correction for printing last years anyway. Thank you for kind words!

[@philjudd3473]

@@kamillu Hi and thanks for your prompt reply. I have bought the program and experimenting with it and it definitely is above photoshop with tools that imitate real life painting. My main interest is watercolour for children's books I am working on for a publisher. I have search for basic introductions to the tools. But hit and miss with detail. Yours is a life saver for the basics. One thing I noticed is there is no cmyk option for print images? Have you found this an issue for images printed as far as reproduction of colour? I know some say converting from rgb to cmyk with a printer darkens and adds unwanted black into every colour. Do you know why this isn't an option? Or have you found a best colour profile that works well for printed books? Thanks again!

[@kamillu]

@@philjudd3473 Hey again. I usually work in RGB (my colors are more vivid then even, I prefer to adjust it in CMYK later, than painting in this color profile) Rebelle and make final color corrections and convert to CMYK in Photoshop, because it was always my workflow in case of illustrations for printed publications. In Rebelle you can change color profile in Edit>Color Management> and change default profile to preferable CMYK one. Although I didn't print anything directly from Rebelle yet.
