What opacity and flow to use in digital painting. This video shows you how to select the right opacity for digital painting.
LIVE stream M-F http://www.youtube.com/c/XiaTaptara/live

First, I use low opacity (30-50%) to find values and move shapes/shadow around. It’s kind of similar process when you sketch with pencil, you have to get a rough draft or construction lines and rough values (shading, lighting)
After I get what seems to be underpainting (close to corrected values) then I use only (70-100%) and be precise of where you put your paint and strokes using 100% help keep your color clean and not muddy. Then just use logic and intuition where to fix and use opacity according to the local values and decide whether you want soft of hard edge on that area.
For tablet setting, I use default setting most of the time. Don’t worry so much about that, very minor stuff. Just make sure your pen is pressure sensitive, that is all there is to it. And for brush settings, I would recommend master the default round then you can play around with your setting once you understand how the default actually works.

How To: Layer and Masking Basics in Photoshop and today...

You see, those of us who have spent years in Photoshop, understand masks and layers pretty well because we have pulled more hair out than we can count trying to wrap our head around it. While this may have seemed like an easy tutorial for someone with advanced Photoshop skills, this was probably the hardest tutorial I have ever had to put together; yes, even harder than the Color Zone System tutorials!

In this Layer Masking Basic tutorial you will learn the following:

The Essential Photography Workspace
Setting up Photoshop to be layer friendly
Adding a new layer
Making a clipping mask
Making a layer group
Making a basic layer mask
Adding and subtracting from masks
Replacing a simple sky using layer and masking tools
Using adjustment layers to enhance photographs

10 Acrylic Painting Tips for Beginners and today's date...

Hello there! I have been dabbling with paint for a while but this semester I took my first painting class. It is so crazy because I have taken a bunch of drawing classes but never a class that focused on how to paint.

In this video I'm sharing the tips I have learned so far from working with acrylics! These are pretty basic tips but these are things that have been really helping me out and I think they will help you if you are a beginner too.

Here are my Tips:

1. Buy Basic Canvases:
I like using canvas boards because it encourages me to go for and practice. I don't feel like I have to make everything perfect because I didn't spend a bunch of money on supplies. Also they are WAYYYYY easier to store in your home.

2. Create more:
It's better to explore and experiment when you are first learning how to work with paint then trying to make everything look perfect right away. As writers like to say: write for the trash can! You are going to learn more and improve quicker by being less timid and more open. So go paint some train wrecks and you will eventually paint a masterpiece.

3. Try painting without Drawing First:
I feel like you might come after me with torches and pitchforks for saying this but... maybe give it a try? I know how you feel I am SO much more use to drawing then painting but just learning how to work with my brushstrokes at this point has helped me prevent making my work look too stiff.

4. Use a Bigger brush:
I know you little pencil artists out there like me just want to use a fine tip to get in all those little details... But if you start your paintings this way, it is a PAAAIIIN. Also working with a bigger brush to start helps you create more movement and brushstrokes. (also saves you from ripping out hair)

5. Use the Rule of thirds:
Now you don't always have to do this but it does make the composition more interesting to look at. If my explanation didn't make sense, here is another example: http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds/

6. Buy Small Paint Tubes:
Now I know you are going to think I've lost my mind on this one but these little mini tubes have gotten me through SEVERAL assignments on my class. I did not think this was possible AT ALL. Paint adds up quickly, use these little tubes to test out what brand works best for you.

7. Use a gel medium:
I LOVE this stuff. I have had it in my art collection for a WHILE but I never really used it. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! It makes everything glide much easier and it keeps the paint wet. For only $2 it is a bargain. I wouldn't recommend using this stuff for the first layer, wait till your 3rd layer. It makes the paint less opaque.

8. Use a Heavy Matte Medium:
Yes girl! If you have always wanted to add some texture to your paint, here you go. You mix this stuff with your paint and it makes it stand out on your canvas.

9. Mix compliments:
I use to HATE. I mean HAAAATTTE complimentary colors... so much. They just looked so repulsive and ugly to me. But when you mix them together, they neutralize eachother put and create these useful neutrals. These neutrals are great for so many things: shadows, skin. Basically anything you are painting from life.

10. Be bold and experiment with mixing colors:
When you are first starting mixing colors is super intimidating. However, you got to give it a shot. Mix colors you would NEVER think of mixing together. You might surprise yourself.

Those are the tips I have for you guys! I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did you can show your support by commenting and liking. I always appreciate hearing from you.

Happy Painting!

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen is an American country rock band founded in 1967. Members included founder George Frayne, John Tichy, Billy C. Farlow, Bill Kirchen, Andy Stein, Paul "Buffalo" Bruce Barlow, Lance Dickerson, and Bobby Black. The band's style mixed country music, rockabilly, and blues, on a foundation of boogie-woogie piano. It was among the first country-rock bands to take its cues less from folk-rock and bluegrass and more from barroom country of the Ernest Tubb and Ray Price style. A pioneer in incorporating Western swing into its style, the band became legendary for marathon live shows. Wikipedia - Joint the Commencer here: http://www.commandercody.com/thecover.cfm
