What is the best way to learn these effects? To fully understand and master these
artistic effects, we will use two examples to explain how an effect works and secondly,
how this can be combined with other effects. The first example that we will see can be
used to create a conceptual visualization, and the second example can be used to create
a technical illustration. Without further ado, let's start with the conceptual visualization
using the Painting, Watercolor, and Sketch effects with the help of a few extra effects.
Conceptual visualization with the
Painting, Watercolor, and Sketch effects
Our goal with this topic is to introduce the Painting, Watercolor, and Sketch effects and
show a useful application to help you understand how these effects can be combined.
By the end of this section, you can achieve something like this, or even better:
To lay the foundation for this visualization, let's start by covering the first effect.
The first layer - the Painting effect
Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that was started with a group of
Paris-based artists. Some of the main characteristics of this art movement are the
use of small but visible brush strokes, and sometimes, they even create small points
using the tip of the brush. The visual impact we get from this painting doesn't come
from the fine detail, but instead from the composition, color combination, and visual
depth that is created with layers and layers of paint. This brief explanation serves to
introduce the Painting effect in Lumion that mimics this impressionist technique.
