Daniel Ibanez LOCATION: US
A traditional and digital artist, Daniel uses the same techniques found in his oil paintings for his ArtRage portraits, creating textured and lively art with a nod to the Old Masters. danielibanez.net
ArtRage is the best digital oil painting software I’ve ever used. With my decades-long background in traditional fine art oil painting, I was ecstatic to find a digital painting tool that let me work in the same way as I do traditionally.
What I love about traditional oil paints is the brush work, the natural mixing of the paint medium on the canvas and the interaction of brush strokes to create new textures and colours organically. There’s a sort of synergy between all of this combined with the thick threedimensional paint, that piles up as you work it on the canvas. ArtRage enables me to get the benefits of all of these things as I work.
1 FIND YOUR STYLE
There are many ways to use the Oil brush in ArtRage Vitae - each painting shown above was done with the brush using different slider settings. ArtRage also has the ability to use stamp-based brushes, like those found in Photoshop. These can be adapted and created in the Custom Brush designer or with a Stamp tool. And while I love those brush settings and options. I still think the Oil brush with its sliders is the best tool of all of them.
