Now it’s time to bring the painting to life with color.

In Part 2 of this three-part tutorial, professional artist and illustrator Wes Gardner demonstrates his “Color Splash” technique in Rebelle 8 Pro, adding cool blues and cyans over a warm underpainting to create color harmony, depth, and mood.

Learn how Wes uses color blending modes, color temperature, values, Rebelle’s Color Sets, and traditional-inspired color mixing techniques to experiment with color while preserving the foundation of the painting.

Wes brings six years of professional experience in the entertainment and gaming industries to his painting process, with work spanning Star Wars, Warhammer, Magic: The Gathering, Warner Bros., Universal Studios, and more.

Follow along using Rebelle 8 Pro, the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch, and Wacom Art Pen 2.
