Digital Oil Painting Application Techniques

Release date:

2021-08-19

When applying the paint, follow the numbers in sequence or work gradually from lighter to darker shades. If you want to soften and blend the edges between two color blocks for a more natural, seamless look, gently wipe your brush dry before dipping it into a small amount of paint. Then, lightly sweep along the edges of the color blocks to create a soft, blurred effect that gives the illusion of fading. Here are some techniques you can use while painting: **Wash Technique:** Dilute the paint with clean water, then lightly apply a thin, translucent layer over the already-dried surface. This creates a subtle "see-through" effect, allowing the underlying colors to peek through. **Pointillism Method:** To achieve a smoky, ethereal quality at the edges of color blocks, try dotting the paint instead of brushing. Dip your brush tip fully into the pigment, then gently tap or flick it back and forth along the block’s edge. Be mindful of controlling the shape, size, and spacing of the dots to craft varying visual effects. **Feathered Blending Technique:** For a feather-like transition between color blocks, quickly glide your brush along the edges in a sweeping motion. This technique mimics the delicate texture of feathers, helping to highlight the unique qualities of your subject. After finishing the entire painting, feel free to add additional details like dots or lines—these little touches will bring your artwork to life, making it even more vibrant and dynamic. Once your digital oil painting is completely dry, apply an even coat of high-quality **oil-specific varnish** to protect both the paint and the canvas. The varnish not only safeguards your masterpiece but also enhances its shine and overall texture, giving it a professional, polished finish.

To create a feathered effect along the boundaries between color blocks, you can quickly swipe the brush along the edges of the blocks, forming a jagged, tooth-like texture that highlights the object's unique质感.

When applying, you can use the following techniques:

Thin-coat application method:

Dilute the paint with clean water, then gently apply a translucent layer of color over the dried artwork to achieve a tinted-through effect.

Pointillism:

Using a dotting technique along the edges of color blocks can create a smoky particle effect. To achieve this, dip the brush tip generously into pigment and then gently tap it back and forth across the edges of the color block. Be sure to carefully control the shape, size, and density of the dots to produce varying visual effects.

Pinnate Over-Method:

After finishing the entire painting, everyone can add more details like dots or lines—this will make the artwork even more vibrant and full of life.

After finishing the digital oil painting, allow the paint to dry completely, then evenly apply a coat of oil-specific "varnish." The varnish not only protects the paint and canvas but also enhances the artwork’s shine and gives it a richer, more textured appearance.
