My favorite technique is watercolor, as those who follow me or have read my books<\/a> already know.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I love watercolor precisely because of the ‘magic’ created by the water, which guides the color across the paper, creating pictorial effects that are always new and, often, unexpected.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I use traditional watercolor but also digital<\/strong> watercolor, which allows me to experiment with more freedom without too much fear of making mistakes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As the illustrator Gianni De Conno used to say: ‘When I want to get my hands dirty, I use paint and brushes, while professionally I often use digital…’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I also love painting digitally, especially since I discovered the digital painting software Rebelle by Escape Motions<\/a>. The potential of this software allows me to have a workflow and a painting method very similar to the traditional one: there is a ‘Water’ tool<\/strong> that lets you wet the digital ‘paper’ just like you do in traditional painting, a ‘Drying’ tool<\/strong>, and also one to ‘Tilt the canvas’<\/strong> as if we were really doing it with the sheet of paper.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I abandoned Photoshop for digital painting and now I only use Rebelle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Precisely because it is less known and used than Photoshop, I like to share tutorials to spread the ‘hidden’ potential of Rebelle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
