Adobe Fresco has revolutionized digital painting with its extensive array of brushes and tools.

If you’re new to Adobe Fresco, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the basics before diving into the world of oil painting. Take some time to explore the user interface, understand the different brush categories, and experiment with the available tools. You can watch all of my Adobe Fresco tutorials here.

Selecting the Perfect Oil Paint Brush

Adobe Fresco provides several oil paint brushes, each offering distinct textures and effects. Spend some time experimenting with brushes like “Oil Round,” “Oil Flat,” or “Oil Chunky” to identify which brush suits your painting style and desired outcome. Adjust the brush size and opacity to fine-tune your strokes.

Customizing Oil Paint Brushes

To truly make the oil paint brushes your own, utilize Adobe Fresco’s customization options. Adjust the brush properties such as bristle length, angle, stiffness, or blending mode. Tweak settings like pressure sensitivity, flow, or smudge to match your preferred painting technique. Play around with these settings until you achieve the desired texture and effect. And don’t forget to turn ON the reload color option!

Understanding Layers

Layers are a fundamental aspect of digital painting, allowing you to work on different elements of your artwork independently. Create a new layer for each part of your painting, such as the background, foreground, or specific details. This layer-based approach provides flexibility and allows for easy modifications without affecting the rest of your composition. We will do the major part of the apple on a single layer so that we can blend colors without any issue.

Blending and Mixing Colors

One of the most remarkable features of oil paint is its ability to blend and mix colors seamlessly. Adobe Fresco enables you to replicate this effect digitally. Mix colors on the canvas directly by layering them with varying opacity and brush strokes.

Creating Textures and Brushwork

Oil painting is renowned for its unique brushwork and textures. In Adobe Fresco, you can recreate these characteristics with your oil paint brushes. Experiment with different brush strokes, such as long, sweeping strokes for broader areas, or short, stippling strokes for intricate details. Vary the pressure and direction to emulate the nuances of traditional oil painting techniques.

Exploring Additional Tools

Adobe Fresco offers a wide range of additional tools that can enhance your oil painting experience. Experiment with the mixer brush to blend colors and create unique palettes. Use the smudge tool to refine your brushwork further. Explore the different layer effects, such as adding texture overlays or adjusting saturation and contrast, to elevate the overall appearance of your artwork.

Adobe Fresco provides a powerful platform for digital artists to explore and express themselves through oil painting. By selecting the right brushes, customizing their properties, and leveraging the layering system, you can create stunning, lifelike artworks. Remember to experiment, practice, and allow your creativity to flow freely. With Adobe Fresco’s oil paint brushes, your digital paintings will showcase the unique textures and rich qualities of traditional oil paintings.

Let’s illustrate a cityscape with Adobe Fresco

Illustrate a cityscape, adobe fresco tutorial

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to illustrate a cityscape using Adobe Fresco.

Download these before you begin

I have used a reference image form unsplash to create this ‘illustrate a cityscape’ tutorial.

Watch the video tutorial on how to illustrate a cityscape with Adobe Fresco

Step 1: Set up your canvas

Open Adobe Fresco and create a new document by tapping on the “+” icon or selecting “New Document” from the home screen. Choose the canvas size and resolution that suits your needs. I have used Digital > Current screen size

Step 2: Select the brush and colors

Tap on the brush icon to open the brush library. Choose a brush that suits your style and the type of lines you want to create for your cityscape. You can experiment with different brushes to find the one that works best for you. Also, select your desired colors from the color picker or create a custom color palette. Download the color palette from the link provided above. I also mention all the brushes that I use and the brush settings for each of these brushes.

Step 3: Sketch the outlines

Create a new layer by tapping on the layer icon and selecting “New Layer.” Set the layer blending mode to “Multiply” or “Multiply (linear burn).” This will allow you to sketch the outlines without affecting the colors beneath. Using a lighter color, begin sketching the basic outlines of the buildings, roads, and other elements of the cityscape. Start with simple shapes and gradually add more details. Since I have already provided a sketch for this tutorial (download link provided above), you can just import it and set the layer as multiple.

Step 4: Refine the shapes

Once you have the basic outlines in place, create a new layer above the sketch layer. Lower the opacity of the sketch layer to make it less visible. Using a darker color, refine the shapes of the buildings and other elements, adding more details and adjusting proportions as needed.

Step 5: Add colors and textures

Create a new layer below the outline layers. This will be the layer where you’ll add colors and textures. Start by blocking in the base colors for the buildings, sky, and other elements. Use a combination of solid colors, gradients, and brushes to create interesting textures and effects. Experiment with blending modes and layer opacity to achieve the desired look.

Step 6: Add details and highlights

Create new layers above the color layer to add details and highlights. Use a smaller brush size to add windows, doors, signs, and other architectural features to the buildings. Add highlights and shadows to create depth and dimension. You can also use the eraser tool or layer masks to refine edges and create subtle transitions.

Step 7: Refine and polish

Take some time to step back and evaluate your cityscape illustration. Make any necessary adjustments to colors, values, and details. You can experiment with different brushes, blend modes, and layer adjustments to enhance the overall look of your illustration.

Step 8: Final touches

Once you’re satisfied with your cityscape, merge the layers together or group them for easier handling. You can also add additional elements such as trees, cars, or people to further enhance the scene. Experiment with different layer effects, such as overlays, to give your illustration a finishing touch.

Step 9: Save and export

When you’re ready to save your cityscape, tap on the share/export icon. Choose the desired file format (such as PNG or JPEG). You can save the image to your device or share it directly to social media platforms or other applications.

That’s it! With these steps, you can illustrate a beautiful cityscape using Adobe Fresco. Remember to practice and experiment with different techniques to develop your own unique style. Enjoy your creative journey!

How to draw Watercolor Elements and Pattern | Adobe Fresco and Capture

Watercolour Elements and Pattern | Adobe Fresco and Capture

This is an article on How to draw Watercolor Elements and Pattern with Adobe Fresco and Capture.

Watercolor is a popular painting medium that is often used to create beautiful and unique art pieces. With Adobe Fresco, you can create stunning watercolor elements that look like they were hand-painted. Today, we will learn how to draw watercolor elements in Adobe Fresco, using the free LIVE watercolor brushes that comes with the app. And in the end, we will use Adobe Capture to create patterns out of these elements.

Download the Sketch and Color Palette

Watch the tutorial on how to create Watercolor Elements and Pattern | Adobe Fresco and Capture

Method for creating Watercolor Elements and Pattern

Step 1: Set up your Workspace

The first thing you should do is create a new document in Adobe Fresco. I will be using the ‘Current screen size’ option, you can choose whatever size and resolution you like.

Step 2: Choose your Watercolor Brush

The first step to creating watercolor elements in Adobe Fresco is to choose the right brush. Adobe Fresco offers a wide variety of brushes that are designed to emulate real watercolor brushes. Some popular watercolor brushes in Adobe Fresco include the Watercolor Flat, Watercolor Round, and Watercolor Wash. We will be mostly using the Watercolor Flat and detailed brush.

Step 3: Choose your Colors

Before you start painting, you need to choose your colors. Watercolor is known for its transparent and luminous colors, so it’s important to choose colors that will blend well together. I have provided the color palette that I have used in this tutorial for free. You can import it into Fresco using any of these methods mentioned in this tutorial.

Step 4: Start Painting

When painting with watercolors, it’s important to remember that less is often more. Start with light washes and build up the layers slowly. This will help you achieve a more natural and organic look.

I have used a base color for all my elements so that I can get clean and crispy edges. Watch this tutorial to learn about other ways to get crispy edges with watercolor in Adobe Fresco.

Step 5: Add Details

Once you have painted your watercolor elements, you can add details to make them stand out. You can use the ‘Eraser’ tool to remove any unwanted paint, and the ‘Smudge’ tool to blend colors together.

You can also add more details using other brushes in Adobe Fresco, such as the ‘Pencil’ or ‘Ink’ brushes. These brushes can help you add texture and definition to your watercolor elements.

Step 6: Export

Once you have finished your watercolor elements, you can export your artwork as PNG file. Make sure to hide the background layer and export each element separately. To do this, click on the ‘Export’ button in the top right corner of the screen. Choose your preferred file format and save your artwork to your computer.

Step 7: Create Patterns in Adobe Capture

Alternatively, you can choose to create a repeating pattern out of these elements using Adobe Capture. Watch the tutorial for step by step instructions on how to do this.
