#GIMP #sunrise #digitalpainting
Here's a demo of
digital painting of a SUNRISE
I don't have a tablet or digital pencil. I just used Gimp on a laptop with a touchpad.
Please note this is a demo not a just finished image but how I start one.
This being GIMP I started off with a bottom layer and used Supernova to make the sun.
I limited the radius and turned off the rays and used the grid in Supernova to place the sun over a background of pink. Why pink? Well I am trying to suggest a dawn scene?
Next I used Airbrush to create Clouds and Sky using White and Blue over the Pink. I turned the Opacity down at the edges of the clouds.
Finally I added the Oilfy Filter and tweaked the Contrast.
Now I have a background I can use as it is or edit further to add more detail or tone to the sky and clouds or I could add birds or mountains or darker clouds or shift the colors and tones to be redder or blend them more.
The files I used to make this will be available SOON as rewards on my Patreon and I may do a more finished version of the image as a print. Please visit

There will also be an Inkscape demo on a similar theme. Come back to view that. I will post it later this week.
