Description Practice 0084 GIMP Digital Watercolour Winter outside
Painted after reference from an unknown water color artist (if you know who, notify me and I will update)
Arch Linux, GIMP 2.8, Wacom Intuos5 M, personal custom brushes

This is an attempt to emulate water colors. I tried to work from back to front, from light to dark. I used a new temporary layer for each new color, sharpened it when finished to get those crispy edges and flattened it down to the lower next layer. I was so happy with the outcome that I ordered a print on canvas and it looked even better then, so I made a Christmas present out of it!
By the way, this is the Schwammerlturm (Mushroom Tower?), located in the Town of Leoben, Austria.

I really like how you were able to make the light sources on the windowsill as soft as they look. For some really thick brushwork in most areas, this is impressive, especially those chimneys.

Lineless digital paintings are tough for me personally. I admire anybody who has a better understanding of it than I do. Keep at it!
