Painting EPIC Distant Mountains, Clouds and Water in PHOTOSHOP

[@arnaldoalicea]

Your English diction and pronunciation has helped me understand the language much better. Unlike you, I think and speak in Spanish. In Puerto Rico we study English but it is not our main language. So at first I had to watch your videos several times and go to the dictionary to understand some concepts. This video in particular has been revealing and has me hooked. I still haven't watched it in its entirety because of the number of times I have gone backwards, not because of the translation but because of the technique. Andrew I can't find a way to thank you for everything I've learned with you.

[@drawboy7228]

Some time ago I read that a digital artist (can't remember his name) said that before you go drawing digital, one should learn to paint traditional first (like mixing colours, composition, etc.) or the digital paintings will always come out looking ”not right". You are the best proof of how true these words are. The way how natural and real your digital paintings look is amazing and most certainly inspiring. Pure joy to watch!

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thanks so much!

Painting is a language that can be understood everywhere. Painting is a beautiful form of life. which has everything.

[@fayee8986]

Oh my gosh you did it again! I wouldn't know your work anywheres. You have captured so much feeling and emotion and this painting. I can't say anything less than brilliant!

I'm so glad you are including digital art videos now.

[@sharonwhyte7900]

Thank you, Andrew, for posting your digital videos. I'm a massive fan of all your work. I have painted in just about every medium. Oil is my favourite. You got me into the digital world, and I love it. I pull to the side of the purist, but the digital medium is a fantastic creative tool that has aided in all my painting projects, and because of your videos like this, I can come out of hiding with my iPad.

Great work Andrew.. Thanks for the link with the brushes. They're just what I've been looking for. Keep it coming.

[@HalfWarrior]

Looks fantastic Andrew! You can get small amounts of your ‘megapops’ (LOL) reduced by merging down the layers of sections you consider ‘done’. I know many layers helps; much like the layers of paint in physical work; but I know in digital that tons of layers can make the processor start to hate you; merge together the layers you think are at your complete state. Anyway; most likely you already know this; but when I am able to have the honor of watching a fantastic artist use the only means I have of painting; I feel like I am still learning and part of ‘normal’. Thank you for sharing your work!👍🏻😁

[@shirleypeters]

This is really beautiful. I’m getting those brushes! Thanks

Andrew you are so ridiculously good! Loved every second of this video. Thanks for all the great info, as always!

[@chrisgriffith1573]

I used to work as an illustrator in Photoshop. Seems the tools bar has exploded over the years, but there are many old school techniques I still feel ring true above some other techniques... in using layers as you are, you might try picking channels of RGB or the CMYK and isolating some to create your own alpha channels then apply them as Quickmasks- then you can quickly highlight in areas pre masked and just touch the edges in preselected zones of your choosing. I used this all the time to apply broad brushes faster than making hundreds of decisions about getting the highlights on trees for example. hope this helps out, love your work- keep it coming!

[@Cakes858]

This will save a ton of time...great idea, thanks!

[@martinr9618]

Great video as always well explained. I tried digital painting and it´s not easy, you have to know your tools and you have to know about color theory. Obviously there´s certain things to easy your way like the color picker or the texture brushes, but in the end, you have to be an artist to take advantage of them. I like both techniques. I take a photo and compare some things and i think is useful for that. I think technology is good if it is well used. Greeting from Argentina

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thanks so much Martin!

[@ellenthompson5541]

Hi Andrew your timing couldn't be better, I just completed a painting, which I sold, btw, and am fighting to stay motivated for the next major/minor project. Although I do not get along with computer generated art, (for one thing I don't have photoshop), this does give me an idea of trying to figure out what to do next without throwing too much paint in the wrong direction, if that makes sense. All that to say thank you for these videos, I do watch them and enjoy them quite a bit.

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

You don't need Photoshop. Krita is a perfect alternative and it's free.

[@BBAMEG]

I've been painting digital for a while, now (I believe you've seen my art web site). I, too, have to get out of the "tiny brush syndrome"! I try sooo hard to be loose then I wind up zooming in and making the brush cursor so small I can barely see it! Something to work on this year! Also, you might want to name your layers while painting...lol. I don;t use a lot of layers, but I sort of name them at least by what they are: base, refine, detail, final detail, etc. Once again, you are an inspiration!

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

That is awesome! I'll try to take a more organised approach with my layers in future.

[@felipebaul1119]

Hey Andrew, i know this might be a little too much to ask for but could you do one of these videos without any timelapse? I've been drawn to digital and traditional painting for so long but to me this whole thing seems more difficult than rocket science, which keeps me away from trying. I wish i could actually see every step of the way to have a better grasp of how to paint. I really admire your work, thank you!

[@happylittlemonk]

Hi Andrew. Love your work. I do a bit of painting and photoshop too, but at intermediate level. However I notice you are new to PS, so let me make some suggestions to improve your experience with PS. Obviously PS is a different medium to oil and hence requires a lot of practice painting freehand. However, the power of PS is way beyond what you demonstrated there. The most important one is to study and adjust colours. You can actually compare colours to the real image by sampling it. That is a huge advantage for colour blind people. Then you can layer it and work on them separately like you showed. You can also use layers and masking to create a layer and fill it with light blue and cut the bits that are not water. Then reduce the contrast to 10% for example and you get the water effect instantly. the use the smother tool to smooth the edges for watery effect The filters do a big job of transforming the work instantly.

[@readhistory2023]

[@feraquinofontes]

I love your take on digital paintings. I used to oil paint at home, but its very time consuming and messy. Digital painting really gets me the art fix in a good way. Also, have you heard about Krita and tilt tablets? You can get some very nice oil paint details this way, take a look....

[@mrwhitey2027]

You should do more of these and maybe tutorials on how to do it digitally cuz... Dam if it looks good these paitings

[@chrisgriffith1573]

You might consider prints of these digital works, full poster sized prints, not necessarily high quality, but something you can print on demand so people can get their hands on some of your work for less than $50.00? Yeah, I would buy one!

[@danielpercent5434]

I use the app Sketchbook, and I hope I can get my nature to this level of hyper realism. If it takes me more years of improving, then that's fine. I just love hyper realism in my drawings- or the attempt to do it.

[@BBAMEG]

Andrew, could you do a video on how to choose/see color? I have a tendency to rely too much on color picking (using the eyedropper in PS) from my reference for the painting. I'd like to be better at "seeing" the correct color rather than relying on the reference. Thanks!

[@ariellouisart]

Very pleasant to listen to you, very instructive. I'm having a hard time connecting with digital painting, as much as I've tried, and I've tried a lot. It has a strange feeling that when finished you don't have anything physical in your hand, but it might be similar to writing a book in some way. anyway it's a philosophical question. If you've already asked, The benefit of digital art for you as an artistic guide for many, mostly is guidance, it's easy to understand the steps and your point of view. Anyway, God bless you, and I'm thinking of making a philosophy video about the question of digital art, for now I don't have a conceptual product to market in the video.

[@anetajohnson8446]

I consider myself a halfway decent watercolor artist. Buit your ability, and talent far surpass any thing i ever did! im glad to see your lmaking these wonderful you tubes ,YOUR THE MASTER TEACHER1. In regards to working photoshop art, whitch do you like doing the best? Brush and canvas/?OR PHOTO SHOP? Or did i miss the boat here, first you experament on photoshop, then you paint it on canvass?

Hi Andrew, please tell me the model of your projector. thank you very much for your videos.

[@howlingwind1937]

I think being able to use a program like that is amazing and the effects are interesting, but I personally just can't seem to get into digital art, I've got a digital art program just a cheaper one to test my interest, thinking I could use it and then progress onto one of the more expensive ones, however, the interest just isn't there. Thank you for sharing.

[@damienmurphy3195]

Hi Nina, I’ve been using the Ipad pro and Procreate professionally for 2 years now, it’s a great set up. Procreate is fantastic software to use as an introduction to digital drawing. Simpler (and cheaper) than photoshop, but very powerful.

[@eybietie]

digital painting is very cheap compared to traditional. while you can have fun with cheap tools , with quality art supply you notice the difference. digitally you can mimic oil, acryl, pastell, gouache, human blood whatever medium and mix them as you please... basically for free or rather without spending resources.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

What about time? Is that a valuable resource you've factored into your equation?

[@eybietie]

@@AndrewTischlerArt yeah sure. You also save time of course.. or the other way arround- have all the time you need. but there is also downside to digital: digital art has less value to "non painters". maybe because most people assume the computer does the heavy lifting?! I am really proud of some of my digital artworks but audience would always prefer my traditional paintings over anything digital.

[@classicallymodern6261]

Was at an art event with my booth and some solid big paintings. Lady next to me had all prints done this way on a computer. All of the artist, including me, were wicked pissed as she kept selling. Sorry brother, but not a fan of this.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thanks for letting me know your opinion. Many feel this way and I think the point is missed. You still need the same fundamentals to create something digital from the ground layer up. This was still generated from references and license by me. It's not prompted, as in the process you would see an AI do. So what's the issue exactly? Personally I think it's great if someone can find a creative niche and do great with it and sell to support themselves and their family. Rather than be "wicked pissed" would it not be better to try to work out what her strategy or edge was? The truth is the MARKET deemed her work more valuable and attractive. It's not up to us to dictate to others what to buy. We have to be business minded too yeah? Just my 2 cents.

[@classicallymodern6261]

@@AndrewTischlerArt agree on the whole business side of it. However, what's the point now in spending hours, even months creating a painting when one can achieve the same in less time on the computer. Worried this will make the "old school" artist obsolete.

[@feraquinofontes]

God damn man have some sugar to balance all the salt. Art is art. Whether is done in a tablet or a paintbrush, the end result is all that matters.

[@Within_Cells_Interlinked]

Digital is just another medium to create art. There were probably many other factors as to why the lady with the prints of her digital art was selling better. Could be that people at the event didn’t have the money to buy an original/traditional painting and the prints offered a cheaper alternative (if that’s the case, consider offering prints of your traditional work next time). Could be her art was just more pleasing to the people at the event compared to yours and others. Maybe she has a following you were unaware of, or was more effective at advertising her art prior to the event. Maybe she just had a better personality and interacted really well with people when they came to her booth/stand/wherever she was selling her art. Don’t get mad at other artists when they’re seemingly doing well and you’re not. Learn from them instead and I promise you’ll make your life and the art community that much better. ✌️

[@erinlindley5451]

i love your channel and your art but come on... this is just cheating

[@BrianHA1]

In my opinion, and I am sure mine will be a hugely unpopular opinion; to do anything on a computer, as it relates to drawing and colouring and then to call it a “painting”, with all due respect, is sacrilegious, I am afraid Andrew. An exercise can only be correctly identified as a painting, if said exercise involves the use of a surface; be it a cradled board or a canvas, and sticky, gooey paint, and actual brushes. That’s how you create a painting. An image you generate on a computer, irrespective of how skilled you have to be in order to do it well, is not a painting. Instead it is a computer generated image. (CGI).

[@Grutbrushes]

You are certainly not alone in that opinion. I am genuinely curious though, what is your objection to people using the term painting for digital work? Do you feel it will devalue paintings done with physical media? It's hard to imagine, as physical, 'real media' paintings are currently much more respected and valued in society (and probably always will be)

[@emlynjones5609]

Sorry but just don't see the point in messing around with a computer. Doesn't seem to require any skill or application other than learning to press button and slides.

[@k0rb0r]

Maybe you don't completely understand the process of completing digital artwork on this level. It requires a huge amount of skill, which Andrew demonstrates.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

I hear you and It's clear form this comment that you've never actually tried it. If I'm wrong, I apologise, but, did you watch the video? You still have to create the image form the ground up! If you don't have the fundamentals in place, good luck! Sorry to sound snarky, not my intention but it's early and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

One more thing. I have plenty of painting videos on the way. Maybe just don't click on these ones in the future if it's not your thing.
