PROFILE
Daniel Ibanez
LOCATION: US
A traditional and digital artist, Daniel uses the same techniques found in his oil paintings for his ArtRage portraits, creating textured and lively art with a nod to the Old Masters. danielibanez.net
Unlike many other digital painting applications, ArtRage allows for on-canvas paint interaction in a way that is very accurate to real oil painting. ArtRage lets you simulate this wet-on-wet painting technique with thick impasto or smooth brushwork. Today I want to show you some of my favourite tools for wet-on-wet oil painting in ArtRage.
1 FIND THE COLOUR IN THE LIGHT
Have you ever seen an artist that uses just white to lighten and black to darken? The highlights get chalky and the blacks feel flat. Not good! As I said before, I love to look for colour in the shadows and the highlights.
