Realising where our miscommunications may be occuring!
In his tutorial Jonothan
- Creates a New Layer - not edits an existing layer as this causes the existing layer to be changed. You can't go back later and delete the layer to revert the changes, you'd either have to use the Ctl-Z key repeatedly or redo the whole layer.
"Start by creating a new layer, and set the blend mode to colour. This means that anything you draw on that layer won’t affect the underlying tone (light and dark) of your piece, but will set the hue and saturation. So we can keep all of that shading work we did, and add colour on top"
- He is painting the whole picture, not just selected areas. He doesn't have a grass group, forest group, house group etc. He is painting this green layer over the whole canvas concentrating on the grass and tress to build up colour.
- He creates brush behaviour using in session tools the makes its colour jitter between two preset extremes, using existing brush settings.
"I start with the largest areas first. I pick a mid green for the foreground, and a different mid-green for the background colour. Then, I pick my grunge brush again, and in the brush settings I set colour jitter. This means that the colour will change as you draw. This is key – it’s never the case that you get one colour uniformly across a natural area. This means you don’t have to change colour hundreds of times, photoshop (or Gimp) will add the colour variation for you.
Here’s the settings I use – note the two greens in the foreground/background colour picker. They are different I swear. The foreground green has more yellow in it.
How to set foreground/background jitter The 100% foreground background jitter means that the brush can be entirely the foreground colour, entirely the background colour, or anything in between. The saturation and brightness jitters allow the brush colour to vary away from the foreground and background colours. This gives a decent range of colours without going too far from your core colours.

He is painting a nondestructive colour layer over the top of everything with a brush that jitters between colors in a whole preset spectrum and can build over itself adding more colour without adding more shadows or highlight.
I've done it before using PS when my employer had access to the lisence. Is Gimp able to reproduce these settings without having to make a special brush, special filter or layer setting?
