Join John Derry for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with the Restoration panel, part of Painter 2015 Essential Training.
- The restoration palette�s reason for being…is to restore detail from the source image.…This tool makes it easy to subtly feather in…eye attracting detail.…As I mentioned earlier, artists have known…about this for eons that where you place…the most detail in a painting…is going to direct the eye to go…to that part of the painting.…That's what we're going to do here.…By the way, I did go back in and I just painted…in some of those areas that were white…just to get rid of some of those…because those cause your eye…to want to go look at them,…and I wanted to eliminate that.…
The real subject of this painting,…obviously, is the monk standing there…accepting donations, and so we want to bring…some of that back.…I will tell you right away that this is…a very subtle process.…You don't want to overdo it,…or it will look kind of bogus.…You want to do it really subtly.…So let's go ahead and zoom up to 100%.…We're going to now switch to the restoration palette.…You've got two brushes you can use here.…
You can use the soft edge…
