Watercolor coffeeshop

I painted the original watercolor long time ago and even made a 3D model version (also long time a go on the beginning of my Blender path), you can find it at the end,
but it didn’t had this watercolor, hand painted charm,

so I distributed the original illustration on layers and modeled the image plane, following tutorial by Marco Bucci on YT (https://youtu.be/Ff0aobJRSNc?si=C86gKu9zT9uOGk9c)
also I used slightly modified Deep Paint material from paid add-on by Gaku Tada (https://blendermarket.com/products/deep-paint) and it made the color of the texture vibrant, and added these beautiful watercolorish, blue shadows
I am sure I will be experimenting with this look more!

And here is the original illustration:

First full model with digitally painted textures:

Looks pretty good. Reminds me a bit of paper pop-up cards.
I also like your old Blender version, it has its charm and the
watercolor painting is great, of course. :+1:

Great result.

I am trying to convince my daugher to “convert” some of her watercolor painting to 2.5D with blender, but she prefer more analogue art :slight_smile:

Thank you! Yes! I also think it has this pop up cardes feel. I even feel inspired to use these graphics to actually make kind of layered cut out picture. I love recycling and reuse my illustrations this way

Thanks! It’s fun and quite easy to do. Easier than traditional painting for sure :slight_smile:
I also wasn’t interested in Blender for a long while, it seems very complicated for the beginners.
but it is always great to try new things, even when just to know if we like it or not :slight_smile:

Thabks! Was so fun to do, I immediately want to make more :slight_smile:

oh sorry :wink:

no problem

Have you tried the Deep Paint add-on (or whatever we’re calling them now)? It’s not free but it wasn’t too bad. $30 or something. I picked it up in the last big sale but haven’t had a chance to really use it. Check it out. I think it might be right up your street. --Sean

Yes! I have it and used the Deep Paint material here, I just added my own texture instead of vertex colors.
I am also starting Deep Paint class in September, can’t wait!
