Blur tool plays an important role to achieve water-color effect. I used soft brushes to lessen the time of blurring. Soft brush can will give you blurry edges.

Tip for beginners: Always remember to put shadows of the objects above when you're painting waters or objects with high altitude.
I used Gimp 2.8 in all of my digital paintings, its an open source software and is very light in the system compared to Adobe Photoshop. Third party brushes are available for free.

With this image, I used four colors : Black , red, blue and white. Layering is the key here in putting fire behind buildings. Fires painted using open source download brushes.

Silhouettes

Dimensions: 4000x1500
Inspiration : Nature
Software: Gimp 2.8

I painted this image using 3 kinds of brush : block 03 for terrains,tree ,skies and clouds; hardness 050 for sun, and brush i downloaded for twigs.

block 03 brush can give nice effect for terrains, use it by linear stroke, resizing it by pressing [ ] keys on  keyboard when resizing your brush.

Basically, I used Blue background before any layers for painting skies and waters, this can make you visualize how your new layers look like.

Alps

This is one of my first digital paintings using GIMP with the thought of Alps in my mind. I used brushes I downloaded from open sources in the internet. Colors, layering and brushes are main factors in doing digital painting.
