Join John Derry for an in-depth discussion in this video Using a traditional paint color swatch set, part of Digital Painting in Photoshop: Architecture.
A technique I use, especially in the final stages of an interpreted photograph,…is to apply additional non-photograph-based color to the painting.…To add authenticity to our strokes, we'll utilize colors associated with the…traditional artist's palette.…Now, what I'm talking about here is all the color we've derived from this image…up till now has been funneled through our brush from the photograph, and it's…true that we have done a lot of enhancement work to that photograph, especially…in the area of some of the colors and the dynamic range of it.…
But even so, it's still nice to be able to possibly have colors that would be…the same kind of colors that you got out of a regular tube of, say, oil paint, and…I've basically done that by creating a swatch set that has an entire set of…colors associated with an artist's oil colors.…The way I did this is I basically went to an online art store and on these…websites, they have pages that will show you for ordering different tubes of…paint, the colors associated with each of these oil colors in the complete set.…
