The article discusses the unique juxtaposition of traditional and digital painting methods, particularly through the use of Photoshop's Pattern Stamp and Mixer Brush. These tools allow artists to replicate the textures and sensations of traditional brushwork while enjoying the flexibility of digital art. By using source images from classical paintings and blending colors just like oil paints, painters can achieve a diverse palette and nuanced textures that bring depth to digital artworks. Tips for creating and using Pattern Stamps effectively are also covered.
I love the playful textures that emerge when painting with traditional media, but I also enjoy the ease and versatility of digital painting.
Pattern Stamp lets you take any image and literally stamp it onto your digital canvas, which can create interesting textures by itself.
This is especially useful when quickly painting things that naturally have a few different hues, such as leaves or grass, but also lends itself to mimicking different textiles.
You can define a Pattern Stamp image by loading up any image in Photoshop and selecting Edit > Define Pattern, which will add it to your image library.
