Thanks Taron! You made it possible!
But, I look at color corection as at undo. If you omit it there is a chance that we will never need it.
IMHO I'm getting better at being non-undo-able painter

Excellent!
Yeah, I'm with you on that, but I also see the exploratory component of post effects beyond "correction" and I really mean to have Verve be a digital power-tool, haha, you know...taking advantage of the possibilities in every way I can make that happen.

You're the captain and I'm the passenger on this wonderful voyage!

Just having some fun with hard edge brush (brush #9 with bias at 100%).
Too much CC in PS. I must abandon that practice.

Wow, I like the strength of the paint! It's so tangible the whole thing. Plenty of conscious power, zen!
Cool!

Thank you Taron!
You made my day with that tip for hard bristle brush #9.
I'm just exploring different possibilities with Verve.
It is so versatile!

AH, excellent!!!
I meant negative 100%, though, just in case. Negative bias flattens the brush against stroke direction (90 degree), positive flattens it along stroke direction. The latter can feel a bit awkward because of my brush cursor. I will make all of this nicer eventually!

Yeah, Verve is pretty much like any art medium that can be liquid and dry and vaporized and magically applied and...eh... ... ...yeah, you can come up with your very own totally unique technique aside from your very own unique style that you have by default!
And I love seeing it come out!

Aha, I just switched off pen angle [a] when doing perpendicular lines (I guess horizontal-ish).
I somehow missed the point of sign!
I will experiment more with negative bias too. Thanks for bringing attention to that!

Yeah, I finally started to experiment more in my head besides looking just at reference images!

Cool, what a refreshing style.
Keep it coming!

That's a strong and nice cubic portrait, for sure. Well done!
