Snowy Winter Landscapes-Using Watercolors

1. Let it snow!: Hello everyone. It's that time of the, again, and the holiday season is finally Hood, which means it's time to jingles and belts, bring out the Christmas cookies and embrace all the things Mehdi and dried Christmas. The season of love, a time for being with the people you really love. So open your hearts and let the giving begin. So to make this Christmas season a little more cheerful and joyous, I have come up with a gorgeous Christmas themed class. I'm Ashley area and engineer disk and an art educator from India. As you might have already guessed, this class is all about Christmas. We'll be painting, do the front and beautiful snowy Christmas night. This class is going to fill your heart with so much of joint. So where a cozy sweater, light up some candles, grab a cup of hot chocolate, and of course, your ad set place. All right, so now that the Christmas mood is all set, let us begin painting. 2. Materials You'll Need: Okay, so let's take a look at the materials that we'll need for this class. The first is the people. So for this class, I'll be using the paper from the brand Fabriano. This paper is basically 300 GSM and it has got a minimum thickness of 140 LB. And this is 100 percent cotton. So a 100 percent cotton means that the paper will be able to handle multiple washes. It gives you a nice texture and the people will stay wet for a longer duration of time, which will allow you to paint a wet on wet techniques and other watercolor techniques. So go with any paper that you have. Don't stress out if you don't have the exact similar supplies that I'm showing you all here. So you can grab any paper and join me. The next is the backing board or any piece of cardboard. So this is basically to tape down your paper. And I'm fixing my paper onto this board. Because there might be times where you need to lift your paper and tilt it. And if you tape down your paper onto the table, you may not be able to do that. So you can just grab a piece of notebook cover or any other hard surface that you have got to formally tape down your paper. Okay, Next, let us take a look at the brushes that we'll be needing for this class. So first is the flat wash brush. This is basically to apply an even coat of water onto the sky so you can go with any flat brush that you have got. The next one would be a three by four inch flat brush. This is from Princeton heritage. And I'll be using this brush to paint the sky for the northern lights. So you can go with any smaller sized flat brush. May not be from the same brand. And next we'll be needing a couple of round brushes, size six and size it. So this is again from the brand Princeton heritage. So you can go with any brush that you have got. And lastly, we'll be needing some detailing brushes of size 24. So you can go with 0 or one if you have got. So that's it for the brushes. And you can grab any brand brushes and join this session. Next, let's take a look at the colors that we'll be needing for this class. I'm using colors from the brand White Nights. You can go with any watercolors that you have got, nu naught be white knight. So you can grab any basic supplies that you have and join me. Okay? So White Nights is a Russian brand. So if you don't have that, It's completely fine. Just join me with whatever you have got. No need to stress out. Next, you'll be needing some white gouache brush basically to add the snow. But if you don't have white goulash, you can also join me using whitewater color. So this white gouache I'm using is from the brand rooster. It's absolutely fine if you don't have, Gosh, you can join me with white watercolors. Okay. So next we'll be needing some masking tape. This is basically to tape down your paper so you can grab any masking tape or painter's tape with which you can formally fix your paper onto the board. So VB, using this masking tape to formally fix up paper and not allow any paint to seep in. And next we'll be needing some pencil, NOT z. This is basically to add some pencil sketches before you start the painting. Okay, So these are pretty much some basic supplies that we'll be needing. And lastly, we'll be needing some a paper towel or tissue. So this is to grab, this has to dab some excess amount of paint from your brush or watered. And you may also grab a clock if you have that. And lastly, we'll be needing some two jars of clean water. One is to wash away the paint from your brush and the other is a clean jar of water. This is basically, you know, to clean your brush and lift the paint. So yeah, this is pretty much it for this class. The supplies are very basic and you can join me with whatever you have. So I'll see you in the next class. Thank you. 3. Class Project 1-Winter Northern Lights: Hello everyone. Welcome to the first class project. So let us take a look at the colors that we'll be needing to paint this class project. So the list of colors that we'll be needing. So for the sky will be going with Prussian blue. So as you can see, skies Prussian blue also there is another color in between that is the turquoise blue. And along with turquoise blue, I have taken a pinch of lemon yellow. So yes, these are the two colors that you'll be needing for the sky and for the background. Pine trees we'll be going with black color. Also for the main pine tree will be using black. So yes, and for the snow will be using white gouache or also you can go with white watercolors. So these are pretty much the colors that we'll be needing for this class painting. So what are you waiting for? Grab your art supplies, and let us get started. See you then. Let us begin with the painting. So as you see, the first step is to firmly fixed your paper onto the boat with the help of the masking tape. So you can see that I'm running my finger all over the edges just to make sure there are no air gaps so that you know, the water, the paint doesn't flow out. So as you can see, I have divided the paper into two halves. The upper part will be the sky, and the bottom will be the snowy ground. And you can see I have drawn a straight horizontal line, which is depicting the horizon line. Okay, so now I'll be taking one of my wash brush. Basically, a wash brush allows you to cover a larger area at a single time. So you can go with any sized flat brush, but make sure like you know, for convenience purpose you can go with larger size brush so that you can cover the entire area with the single stroke. So applied gently and carefully the water along the horizon line. So at this moment we are just directing our sky region and we are not touching the bottom area still. So make sure you do this. Take your time and do it ready neatly and nicely. V1 to apply the watered multiple number of times. And this is done just for the people to stay wet for a longer duration of time. All right, so let's begin with the painting of the sky. For the sky first, I'll be going with a very light version of turquoise blue. Not exactly turquoise blue. I'll take a little bit of turquoise blue and I'll add a pinch of lemon yellow to it just to get that greenish blue sort of thing. As you know that, you know, northern lights basically has that dark blue end, a little yellowish green in between. So yes, I'm using my three by four inch flat brush from Princeton heritage CDs. And yeah, so you can go with a flat brush or you can go with a round brush. But flat brush seems to be good as it gives a nice shape. So you can see the amount of paint that I have taken. It's barely light. I mean, it's very light. So I suggest you to go with a lighter version insured on the top because at the sides will be having dark Prussian blue sky. So, you know, I want the center to be glowing and nice. So I'm just leaving some white gaps in between and applying this color. You can apply this color in any shape or any direction you want, but make sure to leave some white spaces. And in those white gaps will be using Prussian blue to fill up the rest of the sky. So now I have taken a pinch off lemony a look, and I have just added it. Okay, so I think this much looks good. The next color I'm using is the Prussian blue. To go with a nice, good amount of Prussian blue, it should be darker, orange. You can also use indigo if that is what you have. So indigo is also a good choice, but makes sure go with a darker color for the rest of the sky because we want the middle region to be lit. So i'm, I have taken Prussian blue. So I'm applying the first code. So yeah, make sure to go with a very dark consistency, especially the corners should be very dark. So as you see, I have applied more paint onto the coordinate and just gently drag down the paint towards the middle. And as you approach towards the middle, make it a little lighter. So this kind of gives a nice perception. The viewer. So, yeah, just go over it and make sure depression, lose it really dark towards the edges and lighter as you come towards the center and the bottom. Okay. Look at the amount of being that I have added onto both the coordinates. It's really dark. And this dark color of the Prussian blue is what makes the center part light and glowing. Okay, so I'm just going to switch to my size six round brush. And I'm just going to drag paint and create some strokes like structure in the middle. So you can see. And now I'm going to drag the paint from all the sides to the center and fill up the entire horizon line. So yeah. Make sure you just painted on the sky lesion and don't touch the ground. So just carefully with you or any sized round brush you can just, you know, go ahead and do this particular step. Okay? And I still feel a lot more of Prussian blue is needed because your watercolors tend to dry one shade lighter after the paper has dried. So I'm just going over it with undelivered and adding the Prussian blue only at the top and just dragging it lightly towards the bottom. So even you can gauge your paper and the paint and check the areas where you need. The paint has to be still more darker. Feel free to just, you know, go with a darker consistency of paint. Okay. So yeah. I taught at is this make this a little bit more dark since it's really light. And I'll blend it along with the Prussian blue that we have. Note I have left a slight gap in the middle so that you're known that region looks like it's glowing. So gently mix the color with the Prussian blue. And make sure to add pinned only if your paper is still wet. If your paper has got dried, then you need to read for the people to completely dry. Then apply a single quote of even water, and then perform this step of the applying the paint. Else, if your paper has dried and if you try to apply paint over it, then you may get harsh edges, which will make your painting look bad. So I'm doing this step because I can still see that might be but as red and I'm going over it and adding or Prussian blue to the areas that I feel it is got lighter. So please note this step carefully and follow along. Okay. So this looks good. And yeah, now the darker edges look more better than the center is glowing and the sky looks good. Okay, so we're done with the sky. Alright, So looks like the background has dried. Now, the next step is to add some teeny tiny buying trees along the horizon line. So we don't want very larger binaries. These pine trees are in the background and are very far away from the user. So sorry from the observer. So let us spin some teeny-tiny pine trees all along the horizon line. So for painting the pine trees, I have chosen a black color. Okay, so, and I'm using my Princeton heritage number 4 brush. This has a very nice pointed tip and that is the reason I'm going with this brush. You can also switch to, you know, any kind of smaller size brush. It may be size to size 0. Or you can also go with size food, but make sure it has a nice pointed tip so that you know, your trees look very nice. And yeah, so I'm just starting from the left side. I'm drawing the tree trunk first and then I'm just drawing some shapes like lines, dots. I'm just dropping my pain, do with it. So don't go with a longer trees, go with the shorter ones and go with different sizes of the trees, you know, don't make it even. All the trees should be uneven. And that's how it should look, right? So just imagine a photo or you know, imagine a sky and along the horizon live, you have a faraway background trees. So you can just notice that this, these trees are very far away. Trees or bushes or whatever you want to call them. So yeah, you can see how I'm adding those trees. It's really, you know, not a very detailed process. It's just drawing a trunk and drawing the branches. Okay. So it's badly that repetitive process. And I'm just going to fill out the entire horizon line with these binaries. And in the middle I'm just going to draw some G's to be longer, some trees to be shorter, some even more shorter. So I want all different types of sizes of pine trees to be heard. And just fill it according to your wish along the horizon line. Yeah. So go with any kind of pointed brush. This pointed tip will help you to get that, you know, needle finds which we actually want. So go with any brush that you're comfortable and just make sure it has a pointed tip. I know this process is time consuming because, you know, you have to draw trees all along your horizon line. But yeah, I think I haven't hack for you. So what I feel is weekend just paint along stripe along the horizon line and then just pull the paint upwards. This will make the process faster. So, you know, you can go either way. You can either directly paint trees, as we have been told earlier, or you can just go by painting the entire horizon line with a black strip and then pulling the pinned upwards as I'm doing it right now. So you can see along the horizon line, I'm applying a street, not exact street, just a straight line. So I'm just dragging it along the horizon line. And now I'm water I'm going to do is I'm just gonna take the brush and pull the paint upwards to create some branches, some trees kind of structure. So yeah, this is 1.5 my hack. So all I did was I just drew a black strip off line all along the horizon and just dragging the pinned upwards, the form of lines which will eventually look like trees. So I'm just gonna do the stresses all along the horizon. And it is badly or repetitive trusses. So just to watch me how I'm doing this. Yeah. Hello. I think this looks good. I'm not gonna make any more changes and yeah, it's done. All right, so the background has beautifully dried and the sky is looking so beautiful. Let us start wetting the bottom area. So as you see, I'm not I'm not going to apply a lot of water with her. We just want a single coat of water and make sure you gently apply the water along the horizon line. Because we don't want any paint from the pine trees seeping into our bottom area. Next, I think to paint the snow, we'll be using Prussian blue. I'm using Prussian blue. Maybe you can go with indigo. Usually you use the same color as that of the sky because you're not that study flexion that's going to fall on the ground or the snow. So I have the contraction blue because my sky was Prussian blue. So go with a very light tone. It should not be as intense as the sky. It should be very light. So I'm using my flat brush and I'm just dragging the paint from the edges. So you can just barely see any paint. That's how it should be. Gong Gu with a very dark tone and the voice, please just go with a lighter tone first. And then if you feel like it has to be a little darker, you can go with the second round. I'm just randomly dropping the paint, dragging the paint from the edges from board decides. And most probably and focusing on the bottom. And I'm living the middle area as white because that is where the snow, we laid the snowy feel in this newly effectively BC. So I suggest you to do the same. If you have been to the sky with indigo, then you can use indigo to paint the snow. That's basically the deflection of the sky that is falling on the snow. So yeah, I think I need a little dark dawn towards the edges. So I'm taking a little bit of paint and I'm just barely dragging it, do that in a very zigzag manner in a very randomly. Yeah. And I think this looks good. I'm just correcting the shape. I'm just moving my brush. So there's no water on my brush. I have just, you know, the brush is just damp and I'm just moving it, correcting the shape and making it look a little cleaner and nicer. So yeah. All right, so the background has dried completely and it's looking so stunning and beautiful. I'm already in love with the painting. Hope you guys are also in love with your painting too. I'm sure you already liked your painting. So without any further ado, let's begin by adding a Christmas tree, or what you call as a pine tree in the middle of the painting. So I'm just going to draw a straight line. Somewhere in the middle. It may not be straight, it can be crooked or anything. But you're not just go with a nice pointed kind of pointed tip brush. I think I'm using my size six brush. This is again from Princeton heritage. It has a nice pointed tip when it is dipped into the water. So I suggest you also to go with the same kind of brush, not the same brand, but your number size 6 or any other brush which has pointed tip. And I'm going to use black color for my pine tree. So I'm mixing a good, good consistency of black paint and just going to go ahead and draw the trunk of the tree starting from right in the middle of the sky and gently bringing it down boats and stopping a derived somewhere in there, middle of the snowy ground. So you can see I have drawn a tree trunk and I'm just going to define the shape of this tree now. So we just don't want ticker bottom and a bold tenor edges towards the top. So just, you know, make it a little thick and give that shape of the tree. So I'm just doing that. You can see I have given a nice shape to the tree. Make sure the top and should be very thin. And as you progress downwards, the tree trunk should be tick. So you can see how our tree has taken the shape. You can find tons of images, reference images on Google or Pinterest or Pixabay or any other online platform. You just type pine trees and you get tons of images, you can use those as references. I'm not, you know, forcing you to go with the way how I paint trees. You can follow your own intuition and come up with your own version of painting pine trees. So yes, I'll be starting from the top. I'm adding some teeny tiny branches towards the top. And I'll be slowly progressing down by adding a little bit good. And by their branches for the top should have bare minimum branches and the bottom should be very wider and dense. So this tree is a little dense and that cities and we're not going to leave a lot of gap between two branches. So make sure to go with a nice denser form. And to make it, to make the tree look denser, you need to have a lot of beamed in the between and you need to reduce or, you know, you should have 0 spacing between each of those branches. So you can see I'm just adding some messy lines here and dead. And I'm just following the shape. It should be, you know, like a triangle shape starting with the point in the medulla, then going write it as you progress downwards. Yeah. And don't take lot of water onto your brush. It should be like medium consistency. B12, the tree to look darker because that's the center of the leg, that's the heart of the painting and all the focuses on the tree. So that should be a little dark and you see how I've added the branches. Now this is going to be a better leader productive process. I'm just going to go ahead and complete the entire tree by adding branches. Okay. So we are almost at the bottom of the tree and you see how she has progressed, starting from teeny tiny branches, we have come down to wider shoe which branches? And you're not dead zones. So I'm quite loving the tree, how it has taken the sheep. It's giving me the Christmas E field. And that's how Christmas trees are roles right? Triangular shaped. I taught of adding teeny-tiny branches at the bottom just to give it a realistic look. So young, I hope that when you have finished drawing your tree and your tree is also looking beautiful, make sure you leave some gap at the bottom and don't fill up the entire tree trunk. We have to detain that bottom tree trunk so that you're not, it looks like the trees and grounded from there. Alright, so we'll be adding a shadow right at the bottom of the tree, near the tree trunk. So for this, I'll be going with a slightly darker version just to blend that tree trunk onto the snowy background. So I'm going with a mix of Prussian blue and a teeny tiny pinch off black. And I'm just going to blend this entire thing onto the background, making sure that I have no harsh edges. So it's not too dark and not too light and go with the right consistency. This is just to depict your no shadow or the reflection of the tree falling on the snow. You wanted though adhesion around the trunk to be a little darker and the rest of the sides to be lighter. So I'm just blending out that extra pinned onto the background. And now I think I was awarded a little bit of water on my brush and even lead paint, the background, apply this ordered evenly onto the background so that you know there are no harsh edges right now you see it has formed harsh edge over there. So to avoid that, I'm just gonna go ahead and add gently am going to add water and northbound note I'm adding water and not being I'm just doing it towards the end. Diode bottom Ada except the tree. So don't touch the tree. Just go ahead and apply clean CTO for water and you'll get rid of all those harsh edges. Yeah. So do it until you're happy. Now see how the painting has taken the shape. You can see that shadow falling right there and it's looking so gorgeous. All right, so the next step is to add some snow onto this binary. So for this purpose, I'm using white gouache brush. You can go with white gouache or white watercolor. It doesn't matter, but I'm going with a white brush just to get that opaque and matte look of the snow. I wonder snore to be popping out. And that's the reason I'm going with quash. But don't stress out if you don't have grass, you can absolutely also go with white water color. Just make sure you're going with more paint and less water. So starting at the top, leaving some gaps in between, I'm just adding random shapes of shapes are blobs of snow, and that's how you have to be doing it exactly. Don't just go and fill up the entire tree with whites know, make sure you leave some white gaps in between and just add along the edge of the branches. That's how snow gets collected at the, you know, in-between the branches. You might have seen some trees. Or if you have visited some countries do witnessed snowfall. You might have seen the snow getting collected and between the branches and fallen on the pine trees. That's how we want to depict this no order. So just go ahead and draw some teeny tiny blobs, some larger blobs at the center and lighter at the between. And yeah. So I'm just gonna do this process. Watch me how I do it. So you see that I'm just adding some random blobs and some random shapes. And towards the center, I'm just pulling the paint and you see that the consistency of the paint is very dry. It's not, you know, it's not having too much afford though. If you have too much water on your brush, then the garage white watercolor or gouache paint or the white watercolor may get blended in Buddha black and it may form a grayish tone. So we don't want that to be happening, right? So go with a very less amount of water onto your brush before, you know, dropping the white gouache or white watercolor onto your tree, make sure you're dab off the excess water with the help of a tissue and go with the dry brush technique. So yeah. Oh my God, look at the tree, it's looking so pretty and so gorgeous, straight. I will sit all day admiring this tree. I really wish to travel to witness this snow-covered buying trees and the snow. If you people have visited, then you all can post the pictures, you know, so that we can use it as a reference. And that's one of the best ideas. So when you're traveling, you know, I always love to collect pictures and that's how, you know, I painted and being from my own picture. Yeah. So we have added onto the tree. Now, I'll add some snow to the bottom near the trunk, only near the trunk region. So go ahead and add some snow at the bottom area. This will look like the tree is firmly fixed or uprooted from the ground and it won't look reward. So just take some dry white watercolor or dry gouache paint and just add few snow at the bottom and blend it with the background. This also has to be very dry. Make sure it's a dry paint. I'm not having any water with your I'm just mixing my paint with very little amount of water and adding it. So yeah. I'll just go ahead and and few on the top and on the bottom or her. Okay. I think the tree is looking already gorgeous. And I think has stop at this step because I don't want to spoil it. So yes. Okay. I think we are done and it's looking stunning. So we need for this to dry. And yeah, the next step would be to peel off our masking tape. Yes. So make sure you peel off the masking tape only when you're painting has completely dried so that the paper doesn't rip off. And you can clearly see, I'm holding the board at an angle and billing the masking tape so that, you know, the people won't tear. So I suggest you also to do the same. So let's go ahead and be laughter, meaning two edges. So far, for the two edges, we have got cleaner edges and there's no paint. And yes, the last one, Let's be loved. This. And you see this is the finished painting. So I hope you enjoyed painting this along with me. If you did enjoy it, then please post your projects in the class project section, and I'll see you in the next class project. Thank you. 4. Class Project 2-Snowy Winter Cabin: Hello, Welcome to the second class project. So let us take a look at the colors that we will require to paint this. So for this guy will be going with Prussian blue for the background trees, we'll be going with Payne's gray or you can mix a little bit of black with your Prussian blue. Okay, and for those snow cave in, we'll be using burnt umber. And for the Christmas tree, you can go with emerald green or dark green. For the Christmas ornaments are the lights. You can go with yellow, orange, and crimson. So that's it for the colors that we'll be needing for this class. And to add this snowfall or the snow, we will be using white watercolor or white quash. You can go with any of these. And the guage that I'm using is from the brand Bruce, true? So that's it for the colors that we'll be requiring for this class? Let's get started. Okay, so let's get started. As you see, I have already drawn the pencil sketch for this particular painting. So you can pause your video at this point, and you also can go ahead and complete your sketch. So, yeah, pause and take your time and complete the sketch, and then let's go ahead and begin the painting. So yes. Okay. So let us start debating the sky region. I'm using my flat brush to wet the sky lesion. Note, I'm not adding any water onto the house and the Christmas tree. So living these two objects, it will be going ahead and applying water to the entire sky region. So if you're not comfortable with the large flat brush, you can go with the smallest size. Brush which has a pointed pen cover those ADRs near the house and the tree. So go ahead and apply a nice amount of water to the entire sky region. Okay. So, yes. Okay, so now let us begin painting the sky. For the sky, I'll be using a dark tone of Russian blue. So go with of AD and dense stone for this guy. So at the bottom of it will be having a very light color, but at the top we want a very intense looking Prussian blue. So go with an indent stone for the top. And as you progress downwards, just pull the paint and with the help of water, just make it light up. So you see, I'm using my number eight brush, round size 8 brush. So I'm just moving my hand back and forth from left to right. So you can see I'm just creating strokes like structure and just leaving some white spaces in between just to give it a natural and realistic look. So we don't want a flat wash of sky. We just want some strokes kind of structure and you know, the sky is not even. So we'll just go and create random strokes here and there. But make sure you don't touch the house and the tree. There should not be any paint, blue paint on the house and the tree. So we're just using this blue color. We're adding this Prussian blue only to the areas where we have, you know, vetted the people that want to. So just carefully add the blue color and don't let the paint seep into the house and the Christmas tree. So yes, just go ahead and add this and feel free to add more color at the top. If you feel it's looking light. Because watercolor tends to dry one shade, light dot after the paper is dry it. So accordingly gauge your paper and just take your time and apply the Prussian blue. Or if you're going with indigo, you can apply indigo is when there's no hard and fast rule to just go with Prussian blue. So yeah, just, I'll quickly go ahead and fill the rest of the sky adhesion. So yes, go with any size two brush. So if you're comfortable with the smallest size brush, you can also go with that. So I'm using eight because you know, it is large and it will cover a larger amount of EDA at a single time. So if, if you're comfortable with six, you can go with six. So that's up to you. So yes, I think it's almost done and let's complete it. All right. So this looks good. And I feel like some areas are still left as blank. So I'll just quickly go ahead and add some paint over there. Okay. So you see I'm just going ahead and carefully adding the paint. I'm not loving the paint to note that the Christmas trees so carefully along the outline, I'm just applying the paint. So I suggest you also to do it in this manner. Alright, so I feel like some amount of paint is needed at the top, and hence I'm going with another layer and making the Prussian blue a little bit intense at the top. So my paper is still wet and I'm making use of the time. So even if your paper is still wet, you can just go ahead with this second layer and add it. So these are just random strokes. And you'll see how instantly as skies looking so beautiful and so bold, right? Yes. Okay, So this looks good. I'm just smudging the pinned and making it look a little bit even. Alright, that looks great. So yes, now the next step is to add the background trees. So for the background trees, you can go with indigo or you can go with Payne's gray. The another option you could go is just take a little bit of Prussian blue and add a teeny tiny bit of black and making good to be 0 shade darker than the sky. So the option is left to you. So make sure you choose a darker color and not to go with the same color as the sky. So yes. I'm just adding these pine trees like structured onto the background might be, but it's still a bit and that's why you see the paint is just flowing very nicely. So we want a blurry look for the background. So do this step as quickly as possible depending upon how much, you know, vet your paper is. So my paper is still wet and I'm making use of the time and going ahead and adding these small trees like structure. We want trees of variety of sizes. Don't go with the similar shaped trees, just go with random trees like dollar short and so on. So just give them a structure like buying trees and just let it flow and create a blurry background. Okay. So you just, you see that I'm just adding the paint and pulling it in the upward direction. And I'm trying to make it as more intense as possible. And I'm just defining the shape of the tree. So yes, we don't want the trees to be more detailed. It is far away from us and it is, you know, bloody Soviet want to blow the looking back ground. And this time again while going, you know, while painting the trees around the house, making short and I'm taking extra care that the patient should not touch the roof of the house. So I suggest you also to do in the similarity. And hence you can go with the smallest size brush to avoid any paint flowing into the house. Okay. So gently go ahead and fill up the entire horizon line with the pinned. And the same thing goes on to the right side as well. So I think the left side is now looking good and we have added enough trees onto the left side. So you see instantly how we created a bunch of trees just to avoid the wet on wet technique. So just, you know, it's just a dropping the paint and pulling it upwards. And yeah, it's already looking good. Similarly, on the right side as well, we'll be adding small bunch of trees. And again, we are taking extra care not to touch the Christmas tree and not to allow any paint to be seen on the Christmas tree. So just go carefully and add a bunch of trees onto the right side as well. Okay. That looks great. And we have achieved a nice soft background. So yes, severe, almost done, all done with the sky teaching. And I'm just going ahead and adding and defining some shapes here and dead until I'm satisfied. So you can also take a look at your painting. Just get up from your seat and step back and take a look and just gauge at your painting. So if you feel like you're satisfied, then you can stop. And if you feel like you have to add still more trees, you can go ahead. So it's all up to you. Okay? Okay. Looks like the background has dried. Now let us begin by wetting our bottom area. And for the bottom area as well as as well, I'm going with the flat brush. You can go ahead and wet the entire bottom area, but make sure you're not touching the horizon line is the indigo from the trees, from the background would seep into your bottom and it would spoil your bottom area. So carefully, apply a single coat of water. And you see I'm using a smaller sized brush when I'm applying the water along the horizon line. So I suggest you to do this scene. Also when you are applying the water note, I'm not touching the tree audio. So I'm just going around the tree and applying the water. We wanted the tree to be retained as it is. Okay. So just carefully and gently go ahead. Wet the entire bottom area. Okay. Looks like we have added enough of Bordeaux. And I'm just, again, just going ahead along the horizon line. I'm just reading it carefully. All right. Looks like the papers read. We can go ahead with our next color. So for the snow will be going with the reflection of the sky. Since I have used Prussian blue for the sky, I'll be going with Prussian blue for the snow as well. But it'll be a very light tone of beans, and it's not a dark tone. So you can see the amount of paint that I'm using, it's badly you very light. Just take a little bit of paint and smudge it onto the background. I'm mainly focusing on the left and right edges and towards the bottom and the middle lady. And I'm reserving the people right, because I don't want to cover the entire snow. We just want some reflections of sky. If you are in debt and also at the bottom of the tree, I'm just making it a little bit darker to indicate the shadow of the tree falling on the snow. So yes, just go ahead and do this and smudge the paint nicely onto the background. And you see that I have taken a little dark dawn and I'm just moving my brush back and forth only on to the left and right edges and to the bottom area. And the middle is still left as white and empty space. And so we are not adding any paint wet there. All right. This looks nice. So I'm just going ahead and blending it till I'm happy. So yes, if you feel like you have to add more intense colors towards the edges, you can go ahead and do that, but be extra careful not to add more paint. So take a little bit and that'll be enough for the entire bottom area. So you see it's just, I'm dragging it in the form of strokes from the edges. I'm bringing the paint onto the center and I'm stopping right, Dennis, I'm not taking the pinned on to the medulla. So the medulla area is still white. You can see. All right, So this kind of gives a depth to our painting and it looks good. So, yes. Okay. So I think now this looks good. Now, I think we'll be adding some deflections below this noche been. So I'm just going ahead and getting the paper slightly because I feel like the people is coming to dry. So I have just to read did that ADR. So it could be, but it's still a bit. Then union outperform this step. All right, so next we'll be adding though Reflection. So before that I felt like my Prussian blue has got a dawn lighter. So I'm just going ahead and adding a little darker tones. Only doors, the edges. Okay. I think now it looks good before it was looking very dull and very light. I think now it's looking nice. So feel like you have to add more deeper tones. You can always go ahead and do that. Okay? So yes, that looks nice. And let us go ahead and add a reflection of the light from the cavemen falling onto this norm. So you see that I have taken lemon yellow. You can go with lemon yellow or you can go with medium yellow or any kind of yellow. We needed just a little bit of color and smudge that color onto the background. Alright, that looks nice. So I think I need a little darker tone. Okay, This looks nice. Along with yellow will be needing a little bit of orange. So I'm adding a pinch of orange. So we'll be mixing both of this yellow and orange together and smudge it onto the background. This is basically to show the light that is coming out of the window. You know, it's falling as a reflection on the snow. Alright, this looks nice. Okay. At this point it may be looking VR, but when we finished painting the key, but you will see the realistic feel and realistic look. So yeah, just trust the process and go ahead. Okay, That looks nice. Okay, so now let us begin painting the snow KB. So for painting this Nokia, I think we will be going with burnt umber. You can go with bone number, you can go with dark brown or any dark color that you wish. So I'm going with burnt umber and I'm carefully adding it along the wall of those no cable. Note, I'm not adding any paint onto the roof V1 or snowy roof. So just be adding this bone down but only on to the two sides of the cable, also the cabin. So go ahead. But that color and gently added onto your cable. Note don't add any pinned on to the windows because for the Windows Be need to show that light. So yeah, living the windows, just go ahead and fill the entire cable. Just go with your smaller sized brush so that you know, it is convenient to paint since the Kb in this tiny don't go with the largest size two brush. Go with the smallest size brush. And you'll be able to add it carefully without disturbing the window or without disturbing the roof. Okay. So that looks nice. Carefully added and don't touch the bottoms. No area. Otherwise you may spoil the white snow area. So just carefully just go around it and add it. Okay. If you feel like your bottom area is still wet, then wait for the bottom to dry and then go ahead for the painting of the snow came in. Okay. So we have finished adding bone number 4, one side of the cabin. So let us begin with the second. So again, I'm going with burnt umber, and this time I'm living the tiny gap between the first wall and the second volume just to show the separation. So yeah, I have carefully went and added the color onto the second cable, just making it a little bit more intense. So for the second role is when you see that I have left a tiny, you know, I have left the window and cities. I'm not adding any paint or there. Alright, so we have almost finished adding the paint. The next step would be is to paint the vendors. Okay. So yeah, let us begin by adding on to the windows. So far the Windows, I'll be going with the lemon yellow or you can go with any kind of medium yellow. So wait for the background that is the brown color to dry completely and then we can go ahead and paint given dose. So this will avoid mixing of the two colors. Okay. So yes. Okay. Looks like the background has dried. I'm just connecting the shape. Wherever I see that there is no paint. I have just added it. So yes. Okay. Looks like the Bond numbers completely dried now. And let's begin by painting the windows. For the windows, I'm choosing yellow, as I said previously. So yes, we'll be taking a combination of yellow and orange. So I have painted the first window. For the second window as we'll be going with the same color. First will be taking yellow, then we will be adding a tiny bit of orange. Okay? Yeah, So that looks nice. Now we'll be adding a bunch of orange onto both of these Van Gogh's. And B will be smudging that with the yellow, which is present in the background. So I'm going with orange, yellow sheet of so you can go with any light orange. Make sure it should not be too intense. Need a little bit of it, and just smudge it along with the alone that we have got in the background. So you see that now you see that the deflection that is falling on this noise looking socialistic, right? So that's why I said just trust the process and just go ahead. Okay. So we have almost finished with the sky, the snow and the snow cable. And the main tasks that is left us to paint the Christmas tree. So before that we will be adding some details onto the roof. So for the roof, I wanted the deflection of the sky to be falling there. So I'm just taking a pinch of Prussian blue and smudging that onto the roof carefully. Note this is a very light tone. And I'm not going to ten intense storms, so we just need a very little amount of paint and I'm using water and smudging get to the entire roof. So these are the tiny details, you know, that will give a lot of character to our painting. So it's not a competition step, it is an optional step. So if you want, you can just go ahead and do this as you can, just leave it as it is. So yes. Okay. That looks nice. Now we'll be adding a small chimney on Buddha. So for this purpose I'll be using black. So don't add a very thick and bold line. Just go with a medium size to chimney. Okay. According to the size of the cable, the chimney should be smaller. So just decide on the shape. And I've also added a very light shadow. And yeah, that looks nice. All right, so now let us begin by painting the Christmas tree. So for the Christmas tree first will be just going ahead and building some Christmas ornaments. Or you can call them as light bulbs or gifts. So you can choose to decorate your Christmas tree any way you want. So first, I'm adding those light bulbs or those Jingle Bells, whatever you wanna call. So for this purpose, I'm going to use different colors. So I'll go with crimson, yellow, orange, green, and mix of different colors. So first, I'm just going ahead and filling these shapes. And so killer phone. So you see that I'm just leaving a tiny white gap in the middle and the rest of those space around it, I'm just covering it with paint. Ok. So let us quickly go ahead and add all of these tiny Jingle Bells, whatever you wanna call it. All right, so we have added a couple of bells onto our Christmas trees. So you see that I have used different colors like yellow, crimson, and green as well. So you can choose to add joysticks or some gift boxes or QT genes, santa on your Christmas tree. So it's up to you how you want to decorate it. So the first step is V added these ornaments. So that looks nice. I think two more left, so I'll be going ahead and filling those out on right. That looks nice. Okay. So yeah. This is it for the Christmas ornaments. So if you want, if you choose to decorated more, you can do it. So, alright, so now next step is to paint the Christmas tree. That is basically the branches are the leaves of the Christmas tree. For this purpose, I'm using emerald green. If you don't have emerald green, you can choose to use your green and mix a little bit of indigo or black to make it a little bit darker. And you can pretty much go ahead but that sheet. All right, so it's a pretty simple to paint the tree because we have already added this sketch. So this sketch will help you do, you know, get to know where this noise and value need to paint the leaves. So wherever you have to add this node, just leave those areas as it is. And around us know, go ahead and paint these teeny tiny branches or leaves of the Christmas tree. So yes. So this is again, it's going to be a repetitive process. And yeah, so you can just take your own time and paint the entire Christmas tree along with me. I'll kill. So it's a simple process. Just follow the shape around the snow and go ahead and add this green, dark green, light green. And venue, venue, draw or paint those leaves. So towards the ends. Make it like, you know, just give it like some teeny-tiny lines or some random patterns so that, you know, it gives it a realistic. So as you see, I'm just going in and just filling out the entire tree. Okay. So just watch me how I do and follow along with me. So you see that I'm just living this no blobs as it is and going around it and being ding the branches carefully or the leaves, whatever you wanna call it. And also I'm not touching the autonomics. So carefully go around all the objects and add the branches only on to the empty spaces. Okay, So when you are towards the end and just meet those leafy patterns or some random lines or patterns or structures. And yeah, so it's pretty much the same process. This is the reason it was very important to have a pencil sketch in the first place. So that will give you an outline of where exactly you need to add the paint and betters to snow. Okay. Okay. So I hope you enjoyed painting your Christmas tree. So we're almost at the bottom and a few more leaves and branches to be added. So I'm just quickly going to go ahead and finish off this. So you see that it's looking so magical and so peaceful and coming at this moment right on Christmas tree is already looking so glowing and so nice. And it's already giving me the Christmas E field. Okay. So yeah. Yes. So it's almost done. And the next step would be is to add the bottoms stem bought or the trunk of the Christmas tree. So okay. So for that, I'll be using with the color burnt umber or you can go with black. So yeah, just go ahead and add a teeny tiny trunk. So we don't want to leave this Christmas tree as it is. So we'll be adding a snow or a shadow for this trees for that, you know, it looks grounded. Alright, so let us add some details onto this new equilibrium. So for the windows will be adding those all doors. So you can use either your black monkey or you can use your smallest size brush. So whichever one's comfortable, you can go ahead and add these doors for the windows. So we'll be doing this for both the vendors. So I'm just carefully adding the black paint. Ok, so I'm comfortable by using paint or I can also use my pen. So if you're not comfortable using your paint brush, then you can go ahead with your micron pen and these doors for the vendors. Okay. So just carefully at it. And yeah. So I waited for the yellow to completely dry first and then I added this. Okay, so now onto the background wall, I'll be just using a dry black paint and adding some patterns or lines. These need not be straight. So you can just go ahead with horizontal and vertical lines for both the walls of the cable. It's a very dry paint. Okay. So yeah, that looks nice. On top of this VDB, you know, adding some snore. And just to depict that the snow has fallen on the cable and has got collected on the cable. Okay. Okay. That looks nice. We have added enough of these dry brush patterns. They may not be visible, but when you add snore. So you'll clearly make out. So for both the walls, for the first wall, we've added vertical lines. For the second boil. We're going with the horizontal lines. Okay, That looks nice. Now I'll be using my white quash and I'll be adding snow on top of these lines that we have made. Okay? So it's completely optional. If you want to leave your snow cave in a hazardous, you can go ahead and do that. If you want to add the details, you can join me and follow. So it's up to you. So you see that I have taken a very dry quash white paint and I'm just adding along the shape of the line that we have added earlier. So it's very dry. It need not be detailed. Just go ahead and just add the dry beans. So this looks like the snow has fallen on the K1. Okay. So on the boat the walls will be adding this. There's no water at all on my brush. So we want this kind of texture for the snore. So just carefully added. Yeah, that looks nice. We have added enough of snow on the cable. And yeah, looks good. Alright, so the last step is to add snow. So we'll be using white gouache brush. You can go with white watercolor, white gouache. It's optional. So I've added some snow on top of the chimney. And now the last step is to splatters onto the entire paintings. So go with a proper consistency. It's not be too thick, not too watery. So V1, the medium consistency of white gouache or white watercolor. And just take your smallest sized brush and splatter the snow everywhere. Okay, So it's already looking so gorgeous. I love snowfall and I really wanted to witness snowfall someday. I'll kick. So yes, add as much splatters of snow as much as you want. So there's no limit on that. Okay. So I'll go ahead and splatter the snow until I'm satisfied. All right, That looks nice. So we have added enough of snow. Now let us quickly go ahead and peel off the masking tape. I can't wait to see the final painting and I can't even be to show it to you guys. So I'm sure that you already loved your painting. And yeah. So an important dip below your masking tape only after your painting has completely dried in order not to report your group beautiful painting. So yeah, just have patience and wait for that to dry and then slowly take off your masking tape. Okay. So yes, I'm so happy that we have achieved all the cleaner edges and there's no bleed anywhere. So yes. Okay. That looks nice. We have all four edges clean. Okay. So yeah, this is the final painting for the snowy Christmas night. Everything is looking so magical. Write the K been the Christmas tree, the background blurry, pine trees, the sky, the snow, everything right. Okay. I hope you enjoyed painting. Do post your class projects. 5.
