Okay, I want to a book, a sense of freshness by using really light and subtle sheets off pinks, reds, speeches and light oranges in this book A. I want to surround the roses, peonies and abstract wife flowers and Berries with some nice lush green stems and leaves. I want this book here to be tense and look as if it is tied tightly at the stems. So let's start building it step by step, using this general idea off how we want the book it to look like. I'm starting off by drawing a small being cruce using C shape strokes in a circular manner . The science off This entire book is around 4 to 5 inches, and hence the flowers are quite small compared to the usual big size bookies that we paint on an eight by 10 people. So bear in mind to reduce your sizing to draw these miniature bouquets. The best way to achieve this is to use a small size brush. I'm using a size four brush to paint. All my book is in today's class, so here is my first rose in the book A. I'm not going to paint any off the flowers in a perfect way, Firstly, because they're supposed to be mini bookcase and secondly, adding too many details will make them look platter. I want to achieve an abstract yet slightly define style for all of the's bookies, so don't work too much on getting your flowers perfect. That is also a reason why we won't be focusing too much on practicing specific dress strokes in this class. Keeping that in mind, let's go ahead and add a couple of more roses. I'm sticking to my pink color palette and mixing some light reds and some blush pinks with wailing values to paint the remaining roses to mix all of the's shades. I'm using my artfully, softly what Okanagan Freddie said. Let's go ahead and paint one modules next to paint appear me amusing, a beautiful PG shade called Mendon from the art philosophic unfriendly said. However, for some reason my camera is not able to pick up the shade. It looks likely orangey here, but in fact it is a very beautiful light beach. I'm trying to paint it slightly side faced, so not all the flowers are from the front of you. Let's add one more being puny that's facing down. - And now let's being to peony that's facing up to paint this one amusing. Porter, Spain from Windsor and Nugent. Professional watercolor. No, let's add some small wildflowers around these mean flowers. I'm using a watery mix of open upping to paint a couple of tiny flowers, then, by using a slightly darker shade off, being on, painting a few more wild flowers on the sides and then adding some red Berries to fill up the book it. - So now that all the flowers are in place, we will add some greenery to complete this money bouquet. I'm using green appetite, genuine from Daniel Smith to add some stems and leaves. I'm keeping the bunch of stem slightly title just under the flowers to show that it is tied together and then finding out the stems at the bottom. Then I will move on to adding stems to all the flowers in the book came and start adding some leaves and green filler stems to make it look lush and for low, make sure to use varying values off the green color that you're using toe Axum dimension to your book A. Have a good mix of light and dark O'Toole's um, adding a hint of darko green just under the flowers to show shadows. I'm also adding some doctors stems to show that the other Lord off stems tied together the bottom, and it'll also different shared the stems that are in the front and the ones that are at the back dance filler leaves can instantly bring your bouquet to life and hence be patient while painting all of those tiny to eggs and leaves. - I've been nowhere centers to all the white flowers that we added, or Leo having some final touches to all the flowers to know when to stop fighting deeps. Take a step back and check if your bouquet looks balanced from all the sights, and once you think it looks good enough and all the white capsule covered properly, stop adding any more regiments to it, and there you go. Our first mini bouquet is now ready 4. Mini Bouquet #2 Blue Wildflowers Bouquet: for the next money bouquet. Let's paint a bunch of blue flowers with lots of light and dark tones using multiple sheets of blue, I will be using indigo, ultra marine blue, cobalt in blue and Prussian blue to get some variety in the blue shade. Facebook is going to need a lot of blue flowers to bring out the fuller look. So the key to painting this book A is to be super come and just and lots of flowers to the bunch comes together. I'm making simple brush marks to build these five petaled flowers and keeping them close to each other for a dense look. Keep changing the values off your blues and go on building the bookie. I will speed up the process and add some more flowers. - I want to place this bookie in a semi transparent ways, so let's painted using wet on wet technique. We will show that the stems are immersed in the ways on. A slightly diffused look will added depth to your book. A. Using a lighter mix of British brown color, I'm carefully painting the outer line off the ways and then applying a wash of water toward - once the surface is wet. I'm writing a hint of great condo from the site of the ways the Greek color will instantly bleed into the weight surface and give you beautiful bleeds on the sites. - I'm not going to go ahead and add a few more blue flowers to balance the size off the bouquet. With the size of the ways, I will no start painting the stems and leaves while the ways is still wet. I want to extend a few stems into it to show the diffused, semi transparent look have allowed some leaves around the flowers, and that should complete the look off the bouquet. I'm going very easy with the leaves. Making is really easy and or sharp brushstrokes, which looked like oh, sharp leaves that are coming out from the flowers from all the sites.

Mini Bouquet #3 Tulip & Yellow Wildflowers: the main highlight off this book A is a single to look flower, so let's start by painting it. First. I'm mixing a very, very light shade of blush pink as an initial wash to sketch out the tool with my brush. I'm starting out by painting to over shapes next to each other with a sawn white gap between them with the hint of dark hoping I will brighten up the edges off the two oval shapes, forming the flour and just march the layers very carefully. - This loosely depicts a closed to look flour, and I won't be adding any more details to it. Once the to live but is ready, I'm going to pick some yellow on my brush and make some brush marks to show sprigs off wildflowers with tick yellow floral bunch on their tips. It may or may not resemble a real wife lower, but I'm just going with the flow. I came across a similar bookie on Pinterest, and I'm just using the colors and generally look from there to build my own composition. I'm writing quite a few yellow stocks because these will be the only flowers other than the main tulip in this book, it so keeping in dense and fuller with these wildflowers, I'll speed up the process slightly and see you once these air done. Next, let's paint a rectangular ways and which does? Mini bouquet is arranged. I'm mixing a very light shade of green and painting an outline off the ways. The process is quite similar to the ways we painted in the only A bouquet. Once the races and police, we've been let it dry partially and come back to it to show the immersed stems off the book A. In the meanwhile, a mixing of fresh, lemony green and adding leaves, stems and twigs to the bouquet. Make sure to add two or three big leads to show the tulip leaves. As you start painting the stems, you can slowly extend them onto the damp surface off the ways, and they will bleed a little, making them look soft and fuzzy. Just the way you see through a glass. - If needed, you can always go back to the yellow flowers and make some tweaks here and there to fix the sizing and colors with respect to the newly added elements around them. - I'm going back to the green snow and adding some more stems and leaves. Once the leaves and stems are in place, I will use a slightly darker shade of green to highlight some elements, just to add a bold character to the book. It to be honest, sometimes it's very difficult to know when to stop, and that urge to keep adding things is simply addictive. So do take a pause. Take a step back and the catcher bouquet. If you feel you don't need to add anything more than it's totally fine to skip this last step and that's it. Our many bouquet with the tulip and you know why Flowers is now ready. 6. Mini Bouquet #4 Assorted Flowers in a Paper Bag: for this book? A. I want to show a cluster of colorful, poppy like flowers packed into ah greyish brown paper bag, which is tied loosely from the outside.

I will draw the 10 outline off the paper bag and painted with an initial wash after the first wash is done, Um, adding hence of brown and gray from the sites off the bag and keeping it very light. At this moment, we will work on the flowers and the paperback simultaneously as and when the layers on the back start drawing partially for the flowers. I'm starting off with some red poppy like flowers. I'm simply making some strokes to draw the petals and leaving a tiny gap to fill in the centre. At a later point, I'm writing about five red flowers at different positions up off the paperback. - Next , I'm going to add some details to the paper bag. No. Using a lighter shade of brown, I'm painting a few detailed falls or lines on the paper bag. The initial wash is still damp, so these lines will bleed into it and create a soft look. - Okay , I'll resume back to the flowers. Now Let's out a couple of deep yellow flowers similar to the red ones, amounting about five year low flowers and just placing them randomly around the red flowers that we painted initially.

I'm using this really soft shade off bank in the artful, softly confetti said. And with the help perfect, I'm just going to bring out all the layers one by one and then marched them carefully. This rose is the main central point off my book is, so I'm taking my own sweet time to make sure that it's so soft and pasted and remains very , very light. So take your own time to build your bookie and don't rush into it. - Then I want to add a small purple rules next to the pink one, and I will keep it very soft and be still as well right behind the popular rules. I want to act more bugs, but we will define the details later on. Now I want to be in some delicate love into leg stems around the roses. I'm going to switch between lavender and violet for these ones. Once you start painting these mini bouquets, composition ideas will automatically start flowing in. Like in this case, I had decided just a color scheme initially, once I started painting it, composition came naturally, so don't body too much about composition, but keep painting more such bookcase. After a few, you will realize that they're falling in place and you take much lesser time building them as compared to the initial ones. When you just started out putting something wild flowers now. - Okay , so now I'm happy with the flowers in the booking, so I'll start adding some stems and leaves, - so I want to smoke here to be seen as tightly tied at the stems.

All right, so let's get started for the Peach Shade. I'm using a color called Mendon from the art philosophic on, Freddie said. I'm not very happy with the way my camera is picking up the condo, but in really it is a super pretty fresh peach Carlo. I'm going to keep this bookie really minimalistic. So I'm going toe are just three peach roses, and that's about it. Once my roses are in place, I'm going to paint just a ribbon first.

We're going to be needing a lot of these, so maybe you want to just grab some coffee beforehand. Once a decent amount of flowers are done, I'm going to build our cone shaped brown paper bag. I'm using a very light shade of brown to draw an outline off a corn and leaving a circle in the center, which will be our label to write the message. Now I'm going to paint around the circle using waiting shades of brown while the surface is still damp. Okay, so the basic structure off the paper bag isn't Please. I will go back to filling in some more flowers now for this book A Instead of leaves, I want to add these brown twigs and just try something different. So let's see how this look comes together.

You can write it with Ben and of course, right, any other message of your choice? I'm not very great with calligraphy, so I'm just going to try my best. And, you know, just write something decent, - just starting a little ball on the top. At this point, I realized that the paper bag is not looking very bold, so I'm just going to add an extra layer off a darker brow and marsh it altogether. And then we'll see how it looks when the brown area is still trying. I'm gonna go back to the flowers and see how I can add some minute details and touch ups to them. Using a darker brown color, I'm thinking off hiding some texture to the people. Back are probably add some stripes and see if it can add any character or boldness to the design off the paper bag.
