The Story Of A Large Print

Making Of / 05 July 2020

Tools: Photoshop, Wacom Intuos Pro S, MacBook Pro 13", iPad Pro 12.9”, 4th generation, Procreate.

Project: Panoramic Digital Painting.


July 4th, 2020, I started a panoramic landscape large size print. 115 x 36 cm at 300 DPI. 

For the first stage, I focused on the colors, composition, and light.


The next stage is starting to add the details. I am still researching on foliage brushes and deciding what kind of trees we're having here...stay tuned for updates.

July 8th, 2020, after experiencing a lot of problems with my hardware (Wacom Intuos Pro decided to break its windows 10 drivers leaving me without a pen indefinitely cause there is no support available ) I finally purchased the last iPad Pro 4th génération from Ontario...it sold like cupcakes apparently and the only one left was a cellular version...anyway. I got it because I had a painting to finish. So, after I installed the paper like screen and got the artist glove in my size after 3 returns, I finally started to paint. This is far away from a real update but I wanted to point here how absolutely wonderful the drawing experience is. Below is a pic with the new toys and a small fragment of the panoramic. I think this experience is the best in my entire art career.


Stay tuned for next step....

...and it’s a wrap! This is a few weeks project now...since the foliage is still not solved. Getting there slowly. Tomorrow will bring a new light.

July 10th and we have some reed. I am not sure where I’ll go on the other side yet. The light changed with the details and I’ll have to readjust soon  for today I think that’s all.

July 11th. I decided to pay 2$ for a foliage brush for Procreate. Pretty happy with the speed that empowers me with. However, I find very challenging to control it in such a way to not look repetitive and computer generated. Currently I feel like a normal feathered brush with variable size is really all I need. Using a brush that someone else created kind of controls the way the entire painting looks like. Trying hard here to avoid that. Not sure if the effort makes total sense...below is the result of today’s progress.
