WaterColor Layer setup


THE .KRA file

if you don’t want to download file here is the layer blendmode setup:

This uses clone layers, do not paint on them only the layer it clones from
(edit I will post blend mode opacity later)
the brush i use is using flat light on the brush blend mode, but only in grey scale. I find flat light kind of helps adds layering when painting over pass strokes. I used this brush on Paint layer 6 only.

Instead of flat light you can also try this plugin: ColorPlus: a plugin to simulate watercolor painting

Also I recommend trying Deevad’s Mypaint watercolor brushes for smudging

found here: Fizzyflower’s ULTIMATE MyPaint Brush Collection - Resources / Brushes and Bundles - Krita Artists (krita-artists.org)

here are just the Deevad Wtr col brushes:
