ADD DEPTH USING
KRITA’S FILTERS
Continuing her series on the free painting program, Sara Tepes reveals
how Krita’s filter tools can help to make a piece stand out on the canvas
Choosing the correct
colours for a painting
can be challenging,
and if the tones of your
piece don’t come
together, it might not look finalised.Adding filter layers to your work can
help you easily add the depth and
vibrancy you were looking for to
bring the image together.
Krita provides a vast amount of
filter and adjustment layers, and I’mgoing to focus on the three that
I use most often. I recommend
starting off with these and then
spend time exploring the rest of the
filters. They’ll enable you to add a
whole range of effects to your art!1
Import your art into Krita
For this exercise, you can use either a digital painting that needs a pop or a traditional media piece that you scanned in and want to finalise.
Here I’m using an acrylic painting that I scanned; my goal is to deepen the darks and add more vivid tones before I export the final image.Core Skills: Part 3
