My family and I spent a few weeks in Italy last summer. There's so much art there - it's impossible not to be inspired. Of course I shot tons of pictures! Here's a painting based on one of them.
Once again, I painted this using Corel Painter. Though I do most of my work in Photoshop, for getting the look of oil paint, Painter still can't be beat.
Here's my lay in...after about an hour of work. One of the nice things about digital painting, is you can keep the early versions of paintings. Often, the under painting is just as interesting as the final product.
That's BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that lay-in took only an hour! This is inspiring.
And the lighting is gorgeous. Wow
A stunning piece! The values in your indications are truly effective. I especially love the sky reflection at the bottom. You are an inspiration to us all!
ReplyDeleteAwesome piece! Only a small suggestion is that to use smaller brushes in the further parts would create better depth. But still this is a great piece. :)
ReplyDeleteI dunno, the 'depth' looks pretty darn convincing to me. Masterful piece. You know light, dude.
ReplyDeletePaul -
ReplyDeleteWas this based off of a photo, or did you paint from your hotel room?
Matt
wow
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThis is really good. It brings to mind John Singer Sargent's paintings of the Venetian canals. Inspiring as ever!
One of the nicest digital paintings I've seen for a while so thankyou! I'm trying to learn this kinda thing so including the first image is very helpful
ReplyDeleteI think the coolest thing is if you shrink them both down to postage stamp size on your screen they look exactly the same. Makes you realize how important the block-in really is.
ReplyDeleteThats nice Paul!greetings!
ReplyDeleteNice painting!
ReplyDeleteAbout the place you are right, absolutely unique.
Beautiful work my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Sweet and beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteIt is really fantastic reflection of water, shadow and light.
Paul, you are an artist! 'nuff said!
ReplyDeleteWhat I expect from a painting did happen here!
ReplyDeleteIn fact on the first look I thought the final piece was the reference photo, haha ;-) Great work of art!!

ReplyDeleteAgnes and Matt,
No... sadly this was not the view from my hotel room. It's from a photo I took standing on a bridge somewhere in Venice.
Hello Mr. Lasaine,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all your work.
I loved the settings and backgrounds in POE.
You're a master.
That FEELS exactly like Venice.
ReplyDeleteAnd the under painting is amazing, as it really lets your imagination "go" in that place.
Fantastic work my friend! Hope you'll come back here in Italy soon ;)

ReplyDeleteawesome!! it looks as if photographed.. the water, the reflections are so nicely done!!

ReplyDeleteAwsome work btw - but that goes without saying :)
Unbelievable!
