Full Page Watercolor Stains

Background

As mentioned on the cover page, there are already several tutorials on how to create a watercolor effect using the homebrewery and they go into much more detail on how to customize images for your exact needs. I chose to write this not as a guide to duplicate the efforts of others, but as a gallery of ready-made full page stains I have created for quick use. These are not one size fits all, but I have found that the effect works well for my purposes and I wanted to share.

How To Use

Find a stain you would like to use from my Imgur Album or Draco's Imgur Album.

Copy the snippet below to use this effect in your homebrewery files.

Some notes

• The width of the page is 816 pixels
  • If your image is sufficiently high resolution, increase the width and play with the top and left corner
• /u/QalarValar's guide has tips on transforming images
• Blending mode from /u/AeronDrake's guide does not look great when it overlaps a watercolor boundary. The best solution to this is to only use foreground images that already have transparency for the background.

• It is very difficult to wrap text around an image when the image is on the left, so some stains are less usable right now. It would be ideal if someone figured out how to make the shape-outside CSS selector work with these, because I couldn't!

Create Your Own!

I created these stains in GIMP using the watercolor brushes from /u/QalarValar's tutorial. I am not a graphic designer by any means, but I did the following steps:

• Download the album using the Imgur Album Downloader website
• Convert them to GIMP brushes (.gbr)
  • I uploaded them to deviantart for your convenience if you want to use them yourself
• Add the .gbr files to GIMP Home Directory
  • Windows:
    C:\Users{your_id}.gimp-2.8\brushes
  • Mac:
    /Users/{your_id}/Library/GIMP/2.8/brushes
• (GIMP) Click Refresh Brushes in very bottom right (or restart GIMP?)
• Open the default background and start erasing and adding brushes wherever you want. Layers help, as does a test image
• Export as .png
• Upload to imgur
