PROCESS VIDEO // abundance, part 3 (Patreon)

Here's part 3 of the process for abundance! Part 1 is here, and part 2 is here. Just like the previous videos, this has been sped up 1.5 times.
This stage of the painting process is all about finalizing and so it’s a bit tedious. I constantly zoom out, observe which area needs work, and then zoom in again to finalize that specific area. I also want to elevate the detail, so I’m adding patterns and details to the pumpkins that bring some nice complexity to the artwork. In order to keep the style consistent, I’m using the hard round brush for everything, and sometimes the lasso tool, but no textured brushes - I felt like that would clash with the soft and rounded feel of the painting.
This painting is a lot about vibrancy, so at certain points I make a new layer set to ‘overlay’ and paint some bright reds and warm yellows on that layer to amp the warmer tones. This is something that works when used in moderation - if I use it too much it starts to overwhelm the color scheme.
Allright, that's it! Hope you enjoyed the process for this painting and as always, let me know if you have any questions! Lots of folks have requested a tutorial on rendering and finalizing, which I find to be a difficult topic because it's such a tedious and time consuming process that doesn't lend itself very well to a tutorial. So if there's any specific aspect of this finalizing process that you'd like to know more about, let me know, because maybe that will help me look at it differently and have a better angle for a future tutorial video!
Have a great weekend everyone!
