NEW Brushes for Watercolor. EXPLAINED!

[@jacksonfunksworth3822]

Open-source workspaces like Krita are a godsend to struggling artists. Super big thanks big thanks to the krita team, working with your users and platform this last year has been one of the better things I've had. Please don't go Premium lol

Where to download brushes?)

I love pastels and watercolours, and both are the hardest to emulate on software. Thank you so much for all the work! And thank you for the video, great as usual.

[@KritaOrgPainting]

Glad you like them! paint something with them and share it with us in krita-artists.org //RM

[@eryseayliid1535]

I was really afraid of the pressure curve being a "mountain" shape opposed to the usual "increasing slope", but oh man when i tried it out it felt amazing. I dont have to change brushes constantly, and being able to have so much control over a single stroke is feels really empowering!

[@ashildrtheswift3028]

These brushes look amazing! I love adding a more "traditional" look to my digital art, so this is perfect

what a beatiful words . Thanks :3 //RM

[@sanyatyagi9543]

i just got the updated version (yes, i know, very late) but i really love the new brushes! honestly the only way to make these cooler would be to somehow blend the properties of the watercolour brushes and the wet brushes to create an even more "traditional" effect or to blend better these brushes were honestly my favourite thing about the update and i can't wait to maybe experiment more with blending traditional and digital media!

[@KritaOrgPainting]

I missed your comment sorry. Yes i know what you are talking about, maybe in future ;) if Krita gets more suport and funds. //RM

When i was starting digital art i used medibang cause i taught krita was a headache (no offense) now bc of this vid i now want krita just because of the brushes and animation thank you this was a big help. 😀😀😀

[@heyno9383]

I’m using MediBang too, but it’s very hard to get a nice watercolor effect. Do you do watercolor too?

[@maureenyabot8981]

@@heyno9383 im wanting to at medibang but the watercolor brushes arent that good and im too lazy tp draw

[@wetbaklava]

Yeah I used to draw in medibang too and krita seemed too intimidating but at some point I felt like medibang's brushes were way too basic and... "digital", so I switched to krita and I'm much happier with the brushes

[@iadtag1853]

I root for that lonely coder who could add to these brushstrokes a feature that affects the previous brushstrokes without using the water pen. Anyway, it's really smart of adding that water pen to compensate to what krita can not do as of the moment! Cheers! I'm new to Krita and it has been a great ride so far!

[@KritaOrgPainting]

Glad you like it. Yes we have to be patience but nowadays we have incredible tools already. Now is time for good artwork! //RM

I really like the textures of these brushes! Thank you, Ramon for your hard work! But, for the brushes that go lighter when pressure is harder, (I can't remember which ones) how can this behavior be reversed? I would like the pressure to be able to be light when I want less color and more color when I press harder.

Hi Ramon! I'm just a beginner but I can't thank you enough for this incredible software. Hope I'm not too late but I was wondering how to give a more "dry/dried" aspect to WaterC_Basic_Round-Grain; the idea would be a thicker edge, simulating concentrated pigment (almost like the fringe). Thanks in advance!

Hi, Ramon, thanks for your valuable videos, I have Krita 4.3 and for some reason the new watercolors brushes don't work, there are checked marks, an x on every watercolor brushes, thanks in advance.

[@cristiangamesgames]

Hello there, love your vids and Krita. I'd like to know how to blend two different colors while using watercolor without it looking all smudged and losing its texture? Do I just use a watercolor paper texture for the canvas or is there some kind of a trick I can use?

[@KritaOrgPainting]

Coming soon! i am preparing another video with the solution, but if you want to investigate by your own go for it. A layer with texture is a good idea but limited in some things i will explain in the video

[@cristiangamesgames]

@@KritaOrgPainting thank you! I'll be waiting for the video!

[@davidsuissa4490]

Hi Ramon, thank you for sharing and explaining the fantastic job you've done and regularily do on those brushes. I've just installed the 4.3.0 version for Windows to test the new watercolor brushes, and i've noted than the behavior and default parameters on some brushes are different from your default parameters displayed in your video, especially the configuration of the Flow section in the Masked Brush part. On my computer and drawing screen, the default brushes do not seem to render exactly the same way as in your video. Is is maybe due to the specific drawing that you use or I missed something in the installation of the brush pack? Thank you for your help.

[@tymondabrowski12]

There are two versions of those brushes, first is in 4.3.0 by default, the second one is in the description under this video. It has changed parameters to be more suitable for mouse users.

[@Nparalelo]

I love using these brushes! But they work better when doing long brushstrokes instead of many short ones. Is there a way to treat multiple brushstrokes as a single one?

[@KritaOrgPainting]

not exactly because we are using a trick nowadays. I sometimes use the Greater mode under Mix category but has limitations. Test it to see if this works for you. //RM

[@Nparalelo]

@@KritaOrgPainting thanks! I'll try it right away!

[@RealNekoGamer]

Unfortunately, there've been often times where brush strokes were choppy, like Krita would lag for me when I made any sort of detail on the canvas. I'm not sure if it's the graphics backend API, LLVM, or whatever, but that's started to make me ask myself "Do I want to do my work in Krita...?"

[@KritaOrgPainting]

サラ姫 please report it to Krita-artists.org forum and maybe devs can help you. More explanation is needed. Device,release,os,... these kind of things. Krita tries to be as good as possible but need good feedback to improve. //RM

[@rajeshbarnabas8415]

how do you get the water color brush to drip more...like splotch more...? Thank you...

[@3polygons]

The spreaders seem useful to me...

[@cargorunner9960]

These brushes look amazing - but when I try and reproduce what you do in your video the "paint" seems to "dry" very quickly. So at 3min05 you paint a box and then fill it in. The "paint" is still "wet" and it becomes a single block of colour. This looks perfect. When I try and reproduce this I have to be very fast to get this effect. Most of the time the outline of the box has "dried" and so filling in the box is adding an extra layer of paint to the outline. So I don't have a good looking block of water colour. I have a strongly outlined box. When I try and use your simple brushes on my own picture again the paint immediately "dries" if you take the pen off the tablet. This means that trying to create a block of colour is impossible. Each pen touch is a whole new layer of colour and where the strokes overlap the difference in colour opacity is so strong that the finished picture looks terrible. Is there any way of controlling how fast the paint "dries"? At 5 mins43 you have an outline of a mountain which you fill in. I cannot reproduce this using your brushes. For me I paint a blue outline. When I try and fill in the blue outlines becomes much darker. It is now 2 layers of paint so the colour is much stronger. I do not understand why your brushes work one way for you and totally differently for me.

[@KritaOrgPainting]

Thanks for your feedback 7:32 is important to notice. These brushes are a trick "they are not using phisics, but opacity trick , so you have to start with the desired pressure (which controls the amount of pigment) and then keep the brushtroke moving your brush Don't take the pen off the tablet.. Of course you can do several brushstrokes and then mix with the last brush, the blender for watercolor. Is that answered your question? //RM

[@NightWink129]

2:21 This brush and a few others aren't working for me for some reason.

But with this Round Fringe and some others that still does nothing...

[@KritaOrgPainting]

Hi, sorry to hear that, but brushes work ok usually, so you need to give more info. like which release are you using your OS, if you are using tablet.

Can Krita "simulate" or show that colors flow into each other and also flow down the canvas in watercolor? If so, how?

[@KritaOrgPainting]

Krita can mimic the look, not the real behavior of WC. You paint in realtime (you don;t need a high range device) and you control de behavior. An also don't have to wait for the effect. Is limited to the brush behavior, not real dynamics. I hope this helps
