Part two of my Open Canvas tutorial set! This one approaches the idea of painting in Open Canvas 1.1 using the Watercolour brushes. It's an approach at painting designed for people who have begun with comic-style art - which goes from pencils to inks to colours - and how to adapt the way you work to produce paintings.

Part One (Getting Started in Open Canvas 1.1) is located here: [link]
It covers the very basics of Open Canvas 1.1, and is designed for noobs to the program and people who don't know all the tools yet and want to learn more.

And if you'd like to see the .wpe of the image made for this Tutorial, I made a screencap of it, and it's located on youtube, here: [link]
The music and quality are rather shoddy I'm afraid - but you can at least see the process of me going from sketch to painting (and how LONG it takes me to get that sketch right, too!) XD

And if you'd like to see the painting used as an example for this tutorial, it's located here: [link]
As it appears at the end of this tutorial.

Enjoy. I hope some people find this useful.

[EDIT]
I was going to continue making these tutorials - and look at things like backgrounds, and using multiple layers, avoiding overlap, using subtract and add layers, etc etc... but basically, I can't! I don't USE this program any more! Okay, so I know all of this stuff, but I just can't work in OC any more, 'cause my head is now all Corel Painter, and my work's moved on. Making more tutorials is stepping backwards for me, teaching something I no longer practice.

HOWEVER. If anyone wants or needs any Open Canvas 1.1 tips, hints, or advice - just contact me! I am always happy to help, and I do know this program inside out. If I can't give you advice via note, we can always meet up in a paintchat and I'll show you what I mean.

Take care all! Apologies for the lack of further tutorials. I hope you all understand!
