 What is It

In Module 2.1.3, you have studied the materials and techniques available to
you, work must begin. Try your hand here at creating your own digital painting. The
following steps walk you back through the process:

Make Your Digital Painting

1. Open Gimp (Open Source) for tablet PC. Any version of a program will provide
you with a toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen.The first few tools at the
top are your selection tools. With these tools, you can select any part of your
image independently. The square tool will define for you an area – your virtual
canvas- where you can work.

2. Using your digital pen, draw out your outlines. Indicate your foreground,
middle ground, and background shapes. You can also select the character of your
line switching from brush, to pen, to pencil, or airbrush in a second. The pencil lines
should touch the edge of your rectangle or virtual canvas. If the line does not touch
the edge, it will allow other colors to bleed into that shape.

3. Then, use the paint bucket tool to dump color into large areas. Use the color
pattern and colored textures in the toolbox for added effect. Add lighter colors for the
highlights and darker colors for shadowing. The texture of the “fill-ins” and
background canbe chosen too. Use the Eraser tool if you must.

4. Create Virtual brushstrokes. Change the brush to blend in the effects under the
paintbrush tool. If needed, change the size and shape of the paintbrush as well.
Observe how the colors are blended and what parts of the work are being
manipulated. The moreyou blend colors, the more the work would look as if it were
painted by hand. You may also enlarge the size of the painting.

5. Work in layers. Once you have selected a portion of the image, copy and paste it
over the left side of the screen. At the bottom, you will find the layers panel. When
you copy and paste a selection, it will automatically create a new layer above the
background layer. As you add more layers, the ones that are higher in the layer order
will be on top of your image. You can change this order by simply dragging the layers
up and down.

6. Use the Artist’s Brushes. Switch to artists’ brush should you like to create a
digital painting similar with anyone of the Masters (Impressionist, Seurat, Van Gogh,
etc.) in terms of style or theme. Learn from these masters to build a sense of the
world outside of your own.

7.Print the completed painting. Finally, when you are satisfied with your painting,
a paper printout, suitable for reproduction, can be obtained. Use only small amounts
of glue to mat your work, so it would not soak through the paper. Display your work
in an art exhibit. Post it online as well. Appreciate any feedbacks that you receive
from your friends and family. They could provide you with ideas that will enable you
to make better decisions.

 What’s More

Activity 1: Expressions in Digital Painting

Materials: digital camera, laptop or any personal computer
Procedures:
Today, technology allows you the means to experiment beyond the alphabet.
Try your hand doing all or any of the following activities with your computer:

1. Look for a photograph of any finished portrait painting.

Sample photograph:

2. Copy and paste your source photo nine times.
• Use the computer and software to manipulate and make each image
different from each other. For example: change the original colors
(Brush Tool) of each one.
• Make the face of your first image yellow, the second image pink, and
the third image in black and white.
• Stretch your imagination further by sharpening the contrast (Dodge
or Burn Tool) between colors, placing it on another background (Move

 What I Can Do

1. Explore painting techniques further. For example, give your 2D image a 3D

effect digitally.

a. Using the Pencil Tool, sketch a portrait that you will transform into a 3D
portrait.
b. Play with the facial features; zoom in on part of the picture for closer editing
by using the Zoom tool from the toolbar.
c. Add elements of lighting and shadow into your flat image. Use the Gradient
Tool, Burn Tool, and Dodge Tool to help you accomplish this in a believable
way. Define the shape as well as the depth and dimension of your art.

2. Make an abstraction - just lines, shapes, colors, or textures- like the work of
action painter Jackson Pollock or Filipino painter Vivian Komando. Go to Artist’s
Brushes Selector menu to select the brush technique that you want in your work.
Spatter, pointillize, dab, use the palette knife, or explore impasto.
