So the first thing which we will be needing is the paper. So this is the 300 GSM paper cold Brest, which I'm using here, it's a very thick paper, and it's of five into 4 ", which is a very small size paper, uh and you can say A five or A six size. So that mid size, this is the palette glass palette, which I will be using for all my paintings. And the brand which I will be using for acrylics is the mostly camel brand and Windsor Newton brand, and one more brand that is the Monte Marte brand. So these brands I will be using for my acrylic painting. Apart from that, let's talk about the brushes. So these are all flat brushes which were blocking the background, small size flat brush. Then comes the um, liner brush or rigger brush, then the different different sizes of the round brushes, as you can see over here, the fan brush, which is a Bristol fan brush, and this is the Filbert brush, which we will be using size two. So these are the brushes which we will be using for the entire painting. So, um, we will be discussing about the colors in all the paintings. Then this is the pencil for drawing, of course, then the pen, that is the technical pen, black technical pen, then white gel pen for writing the coats. Then comes the masking tape, which we will be using for taping the paper. Then comes the Scale, of course, for drawing, and then the water, at least two jars of water, then the tissue paper, or you can take cloth for cleaning the brushes. So all these materials we will be needing, and one more thing we will be needing is the palette for mixing the colors. So let's start with it with a beautiful collection of painting. 3. Shine Bright Part one: Welcome back. So we'll start with our painting that is shine bright. So this is the painting which we will be doing. So let's first discuss about the colors which we will be using. So this is a very small size, you can see, not very big. And let's first discuss about the colors. So the first color is deep turquoise. Now, if you don't have turquoise, you can take any blue color. Whichever blue color is your favorite, you can take that, and you can just mix a little bit of black to make it a dark color. So the first color is a little bit darker, and as we will go down, it will be more lighter. So this is a normal turquoise color. Then the third color is a little bit more lighter. So I'm just adding white and turquoise to it, and this is the third color. Similarly, for the mountains also, we will be using the colors like this. So this is whole background. So now let's talk about the mountains. So for the mountains, the first color is the lighter color. Then as it goes down, it will become more darker and darker and darker. So like that, we will move the mountain part. So these are all overlapping mountains. So similar color than the second color, which will be a little bit more darker. So like that, we will proceed with this. There are only three colors we will be using. That is the deep turquoise, white and black. If you don't have turquoise, you can use any blue color, hallow blue or serlem blue or cobalt blue, whichever is your favorite blue color, you can use it. So now let's start with this beautiful painting. So first, I have just taken the 300 GSM paper, which is five is to 4 ", and I will just put the masking tape all around. Why we put masking tape is for two reasons. First reason is that your paper will not move. And the second reason is that you'll get a nice border out of it. So half tape on the paper, half tape on your base, whatever base you are using. So like this, I will be putting the masking tape all around. So just enjoy the process of making and do one by one the painting because every day I will be uploading one painting. So this is the first one which is of day one. So 30 days challenge it is. So 30 paintings we will be doing in this entire course. So I have taken a fresh color, as you can see, turquoise, white and black. So let's start first with the top part, and then gradually we'll go down. Taking my flat brush loaded with water and just taking the color directly without adding any water, I'll just apply a little bit of black to it just to make a little bit darker and we'll start from the top part. Just moving the brush in to and fro direction. If you feel your brush is becoming dry, again, add water to your brush, take the color and then again, start with the top part. So it will be like the dark to light transition. So this is a color which I have made, as you can see, very dark color. So gradually as we will move down, we'll make more lighter color and then more lighter. So it's like that from dark to light transition. So I'm just adding first, the darker color. Now, whenever you are blending the colors, make sure that both the colors are wet and take thick color. Otherwise, your colors will dry very fast. If you'll take thick color, colors will not dry very fast. So try doing it slowly, first blend the colors and then move downward. So every time first you have to blend the colors, always push the lighter colors towards the darker color. Try not pushing the darker color towards the lighter color. Otherwise, all the colors will become same. So slowly, slowly, you can see I'm just adding more and more white, and I'm just blending also the colors, and I'm applying it all over. If you feel that in one coat that perfect finish has not come up, you can always apply the second coat. So below will be the mountains, so I have just painted half of it. Rest we will do for the mountains. So just again, mixing the darker color, my base has completely dried. I'm applying the second coat to it so that my color becomes more fine and more finished. So now you can see in the second coat the brush marks are going. So that's why it is important to apply at least two coats on this. And if you feel that the darker portion is less and the lighter portion is more, you can just adjust accordingly. So like how I am doing. So I'm just applying the colors and blending with the darker colors. So just taking again the lighter color and again, blending with the darker color. So this is how we have to blend the colors. It is just with one simple color and just the neutral color that is black and white, which I have used. And this painting you can do with any color, either blue or black just black and white, any color, whichever color you feel like. 4. Shine Bright Part Two: Now I'll start creating the mountains. So it's a very simple and easy painting, and I'm sure you will be able to paint it very easily. So I have started with a very simple and easy painting, and all the paintings will be done within 15 minutes, and you will enjoy also. And if you have less time, you do it one by one because every day I will be uploading one painting. So if you will practice each and every painting, and, like, every day, I'm sure your painting techniques will improve. So just taking the color which is a little darker, and again, I will apply just one more coat. I feel that there is a line in between the above part, so I'm just applying the third coat onto it. So it's not important to add third coat. But if you feel that your blending has not become perfect, then please go for the third coat as well. And always try to take thick colors, and water should only be there on your brush. Make sure that when you are blending the colors, both the color has to be wet, then only your colors will blend. I've just washed off my brush, and with just damp brush, I'm just trying to blend these two colors, putting my brush in between the two colors and I'm just trying to blend the colors. This is also a technique how you can blend the colors. Now let's start creating a little bit more lighter version of it, and then we'll start creating the mountains. So once our background blocking is done, we will now create the mountains, starting with the lighter color. And then as we will move down, it will become darker. So why I'm using here lighter color, as you have seen when you go to the hill stations, the back mountains will remain very light in color, and as you will come closer to the mountains, it will become more darker. So that's what I have tried doing over here. So as I'm going down, I'm making the color a little bit more darker and giving some shapes to the mountain. So here you can see I haven't drawn anything. I'm just directly doing with the colors and creating some nice mountains. So I'm just pushing it down. It's okay if there are brush marks in the mountains because we don't want a very smooth finish. So this is the second color. Now, the third one is a mix of black and blue. So a little darker color than the second color. Starting from the corner and going simply to the down part and covering this entire portion and just pushing it down and filling this entire area. The last one, I will make it just with just black, so it will be the darkest one. Overlapping one another. You can see there are four mountains which are overlapping one another, which just three colors you can make this. Very simple and very beautiful. It looks when it is done in a similar way with any color you can use. So just apply it, and then we'll create in the center the moon. So in the center part, I will be creating the moon. So just wet your finger and take the white color, very thin color, and just make it thin as much thin as possible and just apply it in the center. This will create a nice shadow behind light the aura light, which you say, behind, very thin color. And then in the middle, I will be adding a thick color of white. So just a thick color with my rigor brush, or you can use your round brush, also, smaller size round brush. So just making a small circle in the center. Try to make it in a circle and So very simple and easy to make. Try it out, and I'm sure you will love it if you're trying it for the first time acrylic painting. So this is it. So every painting has a quotation. So for this painting also, we'll have one quotation. So just making the sides of this circle a little more blurry just by adding water around it with my round brush. Now this is optional. If you don't want to do, you can leave it, add a circle. But if you can try it out, please do try it out just to create another shadow effect around. We're almost done with the painting, the quotation is left and we are done. So let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So you can see a nice border which has been created when we use the tape. And when you are painting, your paper is also not moving. So this is the advantage of using masking tape, but this is completely optional. If you don't want to use it, you can leave it. And we'll write the quotation with our white gelpin in the black area. It's also optional. You can write the quotation or you can leave it just like the painting. So it's totally up to you. Just simple two letter quotes that is shine bright in cursive writing, or you can write in a simple alphabet form also. So this painting is done, so we'll meet in our next painting. 5. Fly High Part one: Welcome back. So let's start with our next painting that is fly high. So let's discuss about the colors which we will be needing. So the first color which will be in the background, you can see is orange. So it's a cadmium orange, which I'm using here. Then then comes the cadmium yellow, then lemon yellow. You can see I'm just taking out a little bit of cadmium yellow. So this is cadmium yellow. Then comes lemon yellow. You can use chrome yellow also. And for the greenish parts, these are all the background part. Now for the grasses, I'm using here viridian and black mix. So very dark greenish it will create. And for the light greenish color, I'll just add yellow to it. That is lemon yellow, creating a light yellowish color. So yellowish green, as you can see, to create more light, you will add more yellow to it to create more lighter color. So these are the basic colors which we will be needing, all these colors, which we will be using for the painting. So let's start with this beautiful warm painting. So these are the all whitish in color, just the dots. So let's start with our paintings. So I've just put down the tape, all the colors are ready. So we'll move in a half circle manner, the brush, and lower part will be the grass area. So here we don't have to draw anything, we'll directly be doing the coloring. So let's take our flat brush loaded with water. And the first color is cadmium orange. So I'm just taking a thick amount of color, and we'll start from the top. So just moving the brush in half circle manner. Try to take thick color because thick color will not dry very fast. You will get time to blend the colors, especially when you are doing blending, take thick amount of colors. So the first color is cadmium yellow, which I have done one third. Then comes the um cadmium yellow. First one was cadmium orange, then cadmium yellow. I'm just trying to blend this color. My cadmium yellow is a little bit transparent. So you can see there is a line between the orange and yellow. So I'm just trying to blend the line in between the two colors. Again, I will take cadmium yellow, and I will apply it in the lower part. I have washed off my brush properly so that there is no orange left in that. Otherwise, my whole cadmium yellow will turn into cadmium orange. So I'm just pushing the lighter color towards the darker color, that is the orange color. Now, again, I will apply this lemon yellow, which is a very bright yellow color, trying to again blend with this camium yellow and just blending in a half circle manner. So again, taking lemon yellow and putting it down Just covering the lower part with this lemon yellow, a little bit white, also, I will add below to this lemon yellow so that it will become more lighter. So it is all warm colors from orange to light yellowish color. After that, once it dries, we'll apply one more coat over it, and then we'll start creating the grasses. So wait for the first coat to dry and then apply the second coat. So my background has dried now. So again, with the same brush loaded with water, I will apply the second coat, starting from the top and repeating it in the same manner. This time, you can correct the color corrections, also. If you want more orange and less yellow, that also you can do. I totally up to you how you want to color the whole background. So I'm just filling this orange color, thick amount of orange color, and then I will use this lemon yellow, sorry, the cadmium yellow, and I'll try to blend this color with this orange. After washing my brush, again, I will take this camium yellow and try to blend this color with orange color. So whenever you apply second coat, it becomes more neat and more clear, as you can see now. The whole background becomes more neat and there are less brush marks also. So this is the time when you can correct your mistakes. If you have done any mistakes, you can cover it up and you can correct it. So just applying the second coat and once this second coat will dry, then we will add the details. Very easy and simple painting. Anyone can try it out if they follow each and every process of mine. All these paintings are done in within 15 minutes, so you don't need too much time. So yes, but it depends upon your speed also, how much speed you have. So I'm just mixing black and this viridian green and just applying it in the vertical direction. Now, my brush is damp brush. That is the fan brush, and it is a bristol fan brush, which I'm using here. It is not a synthetic one. So just making the brush damp and then I'm using this color that is Vidian green and black mix and creating a nice grasses in one go. So this is a very good brush for creating some nice and beautiful grasses in just one go. So just adding more and more grasses in different directions. So if you don't have this brush, you can also use your flat brush. But again, when you're using flat brush, use damp flat brush and use the sides of your brush to create the grasses. 6. Fly High Part Two: So now let's give a little bit more details to the grasses. So one coat of black and this green I have done. Now I'm taking my rigor brush to create some long grasses by just using this viridiant green. So first layer was the darker color, then less darker color, and then it will be more lesser lighter color. So I'll add more yellow to it. So currently, I'm just using green and creating some long grasses in different directions. Whenever you are creating grasses, make your colors thin, then only those lines will become thin. If you are using thicker color, there are chances the lines will also become thick. So if you want thin lines, make your color a little fluid and then try to create the lines. Now, I've just added lemon yellow and creating more and more grasses. So this way, you will practice the brush strokes also and how to create thin lines. So very easy way of doing it. You can try first on the rough sheet and then try it on this. That is your choice that how much you are practicing in. There is also one class that I have here that is for completely bigner friendly, that is for absolute BGNurs where I have taught everything from color wheel to the scratch to the paintings, how to blend the colors, how to make the colors, everything. I will share it in the description box. You can check it out. So now we'll draw the sun in between. So taking my round brush and taking a thin yellow color, I'll just make a nice round circle over here. So just make your color a little thin with water and then add this circular thing. So just adding water to my color and making it as thin as possible so that my background is also visible and the upper part is also visible. So this is called as a glazing effect, which I'm doing here. So now I will add a thick coat of white and yellow mix on top of it. Just a small circle in between. So very simple and easy to paint. Anyone can do it. So try it out, and I'm sure you will love this painting, too. It's a very bright, warm, and beautiful painting. So also, I will add some of the flowers, white flowers just with dots. I will not do anything. I'll just create some small, simple dots here and there with my smaller size round brush. Here and there to the lines, creating some small size round shaped flowers, filling the entire grass with these dot shapes. So this is it for this painting. And now we will write the coat and we are done with this painting. So you can add as many dots as much you want. So just add it and just enjoy the process. Also taking some orange and just outlining it to the sides of this sun. So that's it. So a little bit more white. I'm just adding to make it more brighter. Now, this painting is almost done, we have to write the codes and just take out the tape, and we are done with this painting. Also, you can add some of the birds if you want here. Little small birds on the top. If you want, you can add it. So just I'm adding small size birds with my small size round brush, just like a shape. So you can add as many as you want. So this is it. So let's take out the tape. Try to take out the tape at an angle so that the paper should not tear off. Very slowly take it out. So this is it, and we'll just write the code. So here you can see there is a little color which has come out. You can just add a little bit of white to cover that up. So everything you can correct here in acrylics, there's nothing which you cannot redo or re correct it. H so this is done. So let's write the codes. Since this is a light background, so you can write with white also, you can write with black also, but I will prefer writing it with black micron pen. So just writing it fly high. You can write any codes, whatever codes you want. So this is the entire painting. Try it out and see you in the next class. It 7. Breathe In Part one: Welcome back. Let's start with a new painting that is breathe in. Here is the painting which I will be using. The first color, which I will be using here is Burgundi then as we will go down, it will create a transition from dark to light. More and more white we'll start adding as we will move down and we'll print the colors simultaneously. Apart from this, the darker color, which is the tree part, we will be using one with this Burgundi color and the second color will be mix of black and Burgundi. These two colors we will be using for the tree part. Let's start with our painting. I have taken a fresh palette with the colors. As you can see over here, there are three colors which we will be using the Burgundy and white and black. The first, we'll start with burgundy using my flat brush and loaded with water. I'll start from top moving in a half circle form. And as we will go down, the colors will become more lighter and lighter. It's a very nice color. If you don't have this color, you can use AlazarinGrimson, or you can use the maroon color, whichever color is your favorite you can use. There's no color barrier over here. Any color, whichever color, either you can use blue also for this, any color, whichever color is your favorite you can use to paint this beautiful landscape. As I'm going down, I'm adding more and more white to it. Again, I will move down and I'll just take again, the white color and I'll try to blend this color. Already, there is this Burgundy on my brush. I'm just taking white and washing off my brush, removing excess of water, and then I'll start blending the colors. I'll not push the lighter color more towards the upside. I'll just push the color below so that the entire brush marks are vanished. Again, taking white and blending with this light pinkish color. We have done one coat, and you can see there are a lot of brush marks. It is recommended to do at least two coats of it. Once the first coat will dry, then we will add the second coat. Wait for the first coat to dry before adding the second coat. Once the first coat has dried, then again, same pattern wheel adding, same color, again, starting with the darker color. Similar color with less brush marks, as you can see. Now it is a very smooth painting which is coming up without any brush marks. Try to do it with very light pressure. Don't press your brush too much. Do it with very light and gentle pressure and try to apply it in a half circle manner. Then as I'm going down, I'm adding more and more lighter color to it and I'm also blending the colors. Just with your damp brush also, you can blend the colors very nicely with very light pressure. As you can see, there is already pink color on my brush, so I'll just add more white to it to make it more lighter. And simultaneously with my damp brush, I will try to blend the colors as well. Whenever you are doing blending, don't press your brush too much, do it with very light and gentle pressure. Now we have almost done the background, now we will add the back trees and the front trees. 8. Breathe In Part Two: Welcome back. Let's start further. Now we will start adding the back trees. Using my smaller size round brush, just taking this burgundy color and just drawing a line. Whenever you are drawing the lines, make the color a little thin, then only your lines will be proper. Try to make the color thin. Now I'm changed my brush to rigor brush and made the color thin and I'm drawing some small big lines. The behind tree lines should be longer than the one which are with the darker color. Try to make it a little tall than the ones which are with the darker color. These are all the behind trees which are there, which are light in color. Just with my rigor brush creating random shapes and lines making some nice pine tree patterns, just random shapes and creating nice pine trees. This pine tree actually looks a little bit more realistic than the one than the other one. Just adding some nice tree textures, holding my brush at 45 degree angle and the color is fluid. Whenever you are creating any textures or any lines, try to make your color fluid and then only create these lines. Same process I will be doing for the other trees. If you will practice these many pine trees, and I'm sure you will slowly and gradually know how to create it. The first step may be a little difficult, but as you will move to more and more pine tree creation, it will become more and more easy. Everything comes with practice. That's why I have created this class for you so that you can practice it as much as you can. I have kept all the paintings quite simple so that you can be easy for you to follow it and you can do it easily. These are just random textures which I'm applying as you can see, just in a pattern of horizontal pattern, making it a little longer. Using fluid color, try to create these textures, starting from small and as it is going down, it is becoming bigger and bigger. This type of painting you can do with any color, you can do with Tallow blue, you can do with ultramarine blue, you can do with serelim blue, you can do with brown color, any color, whichever color is your favorite and you want to do it, you can do this painting. So just adding the nice three textures, one more is left, and then we'll add the darker one. Once we are done with the back trees, then we'll start with the front trees. Most of you have seen that whenever we see the back trees, it is a little blurry. That's why I've created this with a lighter color and the front trees with a darker color. Now I will start making the front trees. Just adding the lines in between the two trees. Some are small, some are tall, different different heights I have kept, but not bigger than the one which is behind. Now here are also similar steps, similar process. The more and more you do these repetitive process of making trees, the more you will get it. The more you will develop patients disciplines. Whenever we do all these repetitive process, it teaches us a lot of patients level. You can see there are so many trees which we are creating. This burgundy is a very beautiful color. I really like this color. So similar process and same steps and just trying to create some nice tree textures. All these exercises are just practice exercise. The more you will practice all these types of painting, the more you will get the hands on and the more your speed will increase. I have done this in 15 minutes, maybe you can do it in half an hour, everyone has their own speed. The speed depends upon how much you are doing, yes, the speed may matter. But yes, try it out and it is a very simple and easy painting. And if you are trying this painting, do tag me on Instagram. That is Mohni Art Gallery, I will reshare it to my story. Now we have almost done the tree part. Now we'll start adding the center moon which is there. Just wetting my finger and taking a thin color of white and applying it in the center, moving my finger in circles, and then I will add a thick white in the center part. Same thing which I did in my previous painting, same thing. I am doing it here also. Similar process. You can see how bright it looks when you add that background glazing effect. Now let's write the coats just making the sides a little bit more smooth. Now this painting is complete. Now, let's add some small small birds here and there, just like a V shape. This is it. Now we'll write the codes and then our painting is done. I will write the code in the center that is breathe in. First, I decided to just breathe, but then I decided to write breathe in because of these trees. Let's take out the tape first. I I added afterwards, first, it was just breathe and then I realize that I have added the same quotation in another painting as well, so I'm doing it breathe in. But you can just write breathe also if you want. This is breathe in as the quotation. See you in the next class. 9. Be Still Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with our new painting. So B still is the coat, which I have kept for this painting. So let's first discuss about the colors. Here, we will only be using three colors that is tallow blue, which I have mixed it with black and a little bit of white. So this is the first color which I will be using for my background painting. Then comes the second color which is simply Tallow blue. Then the third color is a mix of white and Tallow blue. So this will be the whole background painting color of my painting. And apart from that, so this is a color. We are using three colors that is Tallow blue, black and white. So let's begin with our painting of beautiful monochrome painting, you can say because we are using one color. So let's start with our painting with a few drawings, and then we are done with the painting. So I'll just draw the center line, and that's it we have to do for this painting. We don't have to draw much, just the center line. Make sure that the tape is nicely taped down so that your border comes nicely. So just a center line and then I'll just apply the colors. Here, I will put the small moon which will be there in the center. So I'm just taking out all the colors now. That is hallow blue, white and black. So these three colors we will be using for our painting. So let's start from the top first, mixing this black and thalo blue together to create a nice dark color. So if your color is a little bit transparent, you can add a little bit white to it just to make your color a little bit more opaque. But if your thalo blue is quite opaque, then no need. So just applying this, you can see my color is a little transparent. So I'm just adding, again, this darker color with a mix of blue and white. And I'm just applying this nice, light, bluish color and trying to blend with the darker color. So whenever you are doing any blending, don't push the color completely above. Otherwise, everything will turn out to be light color. So again, I'm mixing it with more lighter color and just applying it below. So since it is a first coat, don't worry about the blending. If it is not happening, little bit of blending is fine, but if still it's not proper, then in the second coat, try to fix it up. And make sure that both the colors are wet when you are blending. So again, I'm taking that darker color and just applying it on the top again. So a little bit below, I'm pushing it. So since my lighter color is wet, so it is easily blending with that color. So whenever we paint any reflection, reflection is always the opposite of your sky color. So the dark color will be below and the lighter color will be above. So like this, we will form the background of this still water. So I'm just mixing again that same color that is dark colour than light and light, and then I will apply it accordingly. Just mixing a nice proportion of color. When you mix the colors, it is a little easy for you to paint. You don't have to mix it with your brush, and it is advisable to mix with your palette rather than mixing with your brush because brush will get damaged if you will mix it with your brush. So try to mix it with your palette. Now, again, taking a little bit more of this hallow blue because everything is about blue. So lots of blue will be required here when you are doing this painting. I will start first from the darker color, that is the lower portion, which is dark. And as I will go above, it will become more lighter and lighter. So from dark to light transition from bottom to up. So same colors I'm using and the same background which I have used above, the similar color I will be using below. Just adding a little more lighter color in the horizon line just to make sure that it is visible that line, the lighter than the above color. And trying to blend the lighter color with the darker color. Always try to push the lighter color towards the darker color, not too much, but especially that line which is in between the two colors. So we have done the background. We'll do one more coat on this once my background has dried. At least try to do two coats of your background blocking for the smooth finish of your background. And this time you can correct it also. 10. Be Still Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So I've just mixed the same color. So a little bit my color has again finished, I'll just take a little bit more. And just making again that darker color and trying to blend the color. So always try to add at least two coats on your background blocking. So this is the second coat which I'm applying and I'm applying thick color, and I'm trying to blend with the lighter color also. Wash off your brush if there are too much color on your brush, and then with your damp brush, you can just blend the color. Don't push the light color completely above. Otherwise, everything will turn out to be lighter color. Just the line which joins the dark and light color, you have to blend that. So now, again, taking the lighter color and blending with the above color. Wash off your brush, remove excess of water with a damp brush, try to blend the lines in between the two colors. So this is how you can blend acrylics very smoothly and perfectly. Now we have done the upper part. We'll do the lower part also one more coat, similar as we have done the upper part. So taking again, few colors because there are lots of blues which are required in this painting. So whenever you will mix the colors, exact color will not be formed. So it's okay if a little bit of color difference is there, that is perfectly fine because every time you will mix the colors, you will never get the exact color. So just blending the lighter with the darker. So the reason of using thick color is that thick color will not dry very fast and you will get a longer time to blend the colors. That's why in acrylic, we use thick colors for doing the background blending. So now just adding the lighter color and trying to blend with the next color. So we are almost done with the blending now, and now we will add some details to it. So just enjoy the process of blending and with any color, you can use your blending technique. It's not like you have to choose same color. You can use any color, whichever color you feel like. So just adding the center line a little darker than the colors which are adjacent. So just adding a center line with my flat brush. So now we will add the details. Very simple details are there, the moon, the reflection, and these long grasses. Very simple and easy painting here. The main focus is on the blending part and a little bit of details of the grasses and the reflection. So I have tried to make it as simple as possible so that each and everyone can understand and try it out and now we will add the reflection with our same flat brush. But this time, I will use a smaller size flat brush, adding a thick color on the tip. This is a damp brush which I'm using and a thick color, and I'm just adding some white lines across this water. It's just below the moon. So as it will go down, it will become smaller and smaller and smaller, it will be a V shape. And So very easy technique to add reflection of the moon or sun. So now we will add the lines, making the color thin and using my rigor brush. Make it fluid thin by adding water and then add the lines. So when you will make the color thin, you can easily float your brushes and make some nice thin lines. Just adding a little bit of blue to it and just making it thin and drawing some nice big grasses. And if you're trying out this painting, do share your project work and you can also tag me on Instagram that is Mohini Art Gallery. So you can see how beautiful the lines have come up when you make it thin. If you will use thick lines, thick paint, it will create thick lines. Some very small, small lines moving downward. These are very big grasses which you mostly see near the lake or near the river. So this is it with the painting. We'll just write the quotation and this is done. So I'm just removing the tape and let's see how it looks. Try to remove the tape at an angle so that your page should not tear off. Now we will add the quotation with the white gelpin because my background is quite dark. You can write it anywhere or you can leave this painting like this that is totally up to you. So try out this beautiful vibrant cool painting, which I have used cool colors and just the neutral color that is white and black, and I'm sure you will love it. Anyone can try it out. It's very easy and simple, and I'm sure you will be able to follow this. See you in the next class. 11. Accept Yourself Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with another painting that is except yourself. So let's start first with the colors, what we will be using. The first color is Tallow blue, which we will be using. And as we will go down, we'll add more white to it. So from dark to light, transition will be there. So similar like this. And then we will do the foreground with the colors, that is the burnt sienna. So this is the sky which we will be doing. Then the foreground with burnt sienna, making into very light color and more light. Something like that we will be using for the foreground. And now comes the mountains. So mountains, we will add this blue color, then a little bit black and a little bit white. So something like the grayish, bluish color, which we will be using for the mountains. Similar to this. So these are the colors which we will be needing for our beautiful painting, which is a scene of a desert. So let's start with it. So you can see I have done a little bit of drawing of the mountains and the line. The line is just below. It's not in the center. It's just below the center. Very small area I have kept for the sand area. So first, we'll start from the top, that is the sky. My brush is loaded with water and just mixing the color and making it a little lighter and starting from the top. It's a very beautiful blue color that is hallow blue. And you can see how bright this color is. This color is used for many paintings, especially the ocean painting. So this is very beautiful and very cool color, as you can see, I really like this color. But if you don't have this color, you can use any blue, serium blue, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue. Whichever blue you have, you can use that. So just mixing and blending the colors, and as we will go down, it will become more lighter and lighter. So since this is a first code, don't worry about the blending. Now, this blending I've just done with the damp brush. Sometimes we just need the brush to blend the colors. Every time we don't need colors to blending it. So just applying it and just wash off your brush and then blend the colors. That will be a perfect blend if you will see. So I will just wash off my brush and then I'll try to blend that area. Make sure that your brush is damp, it is not wet. So just filling the colors with more lighter color. Now, you can see in the first coat there are lots of brush marks. So that's why it is important to apply at least two coats onto it so that it becomes nice, bright, and clean and neat background. Now we will do the lower part also. So for the lower part, just bunsiena and white mix. So you can see first the color is light, and as it goes down, it becomes dark. So like that, we have to make the blending. So first, I'm just applying this lighter color everywhere. And slowly we will make the colors a little bit more dark because I feel this is the first coat which we have done. So it's a lighter above and a little darker below. So just making the colors a little more darker and just applying burn Sienna and trying to blend with the lighter color. Once the background has dried, then you can apply the second coat. Wait for the background to dry and then apply the second coat. Now my background has dried, so now I will start applying the second coat. Since it is very hot over here, so my colors are drying very fast. So if it is not at your place, then you have to wait a little bit longer. So I'm just applying, again, the same color, and this time I'm taking the blending part more seriously and slowly I'm just blending the color to make the background more smooth. Now, you can see the smoothness of the color of the second coat. So just try to make it as smooth as possible. Do it slowly. When you are blending the colors, don't press your brush too much. Do it with a very light hand, with a very light pressure. And as we will go down, the colors will become more lighter. So very bright and beautiful colors. So once we are done with the background and the foreground, then we'll start with the mountains and the tree part because this tree is the center part which is visible. So whenever you will see that painting, the center of attraction is the tree that is there. So yes. So we have done the background. We'll do the foreground also once more. 12. Accept Yourself Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we'll start doing the mountains here. So making the color like a grayish, bluish color, and I'll just cover this area. These are very thin mountains. I haven't made it very thick. It's very thin and since they are at a very far distance, that's why they are looking very small. Blocking that part. Here I'm using my round brush of smaller size to fill this up. And now we will start doing the below part, that is the foreground part, which is there. So I will first take the color that is born sienna and black mix, and then I'll start making the line first with a nice grayish, blackish brownish color. So whenever you are making any lines, try to make the colors a little fluid and then start creating the lines. So first, I'm just making a simple straight line, a little bit curvy, and then I will make the branches and sub brranches So just a nice us the branches here we will add. There is no leaves in this tree, just the branches. Just adding more and more taller branches. So whenever you are drawing any lines or any details, make your color fluid and then draw the lines and use your rigor brush. First draw a single line, and then later on, you can thicken the lines. So it's a very light, brownish color with a mix of little bit of black to it, as you can see here. So now I'm making the lines a little bit more thicker. So try to do it very slowly and one by one. If you're not able to draw it directly, draw with your pencil line or pencil color or chalk pencils or watercolor pencils, and then you can outline it. Because when you will draw with pencil, it will not be able to will be able to rub it. So it's better to draw with any chalk pencil or watercolor pencils. So first, I'm drawing the main branches, then the sub branches. So first I'm drawing one side, then I'll draw the other side. Take your time and draw it slowly one by one. Very beautiful single tree which has survived in this desert like the tree that has survived and accepted itself, so we have to also accept ourselves. So just making a color a little bit darker without mixing any white, that is black and brown mix and just outlining the edge first. And then slowly I will start blending the colors of this black with the brownish and white mixed color. So just taking again the darker color and giving some details to it, some lines, some small, small lines, making the tree branches more bright and more visible just by adding the darker color. So first, I've added the lighter color, then on one side, I'm just adding the darker color. So there will be a mix of dark and light color. So make one side a little darker so that it looks like that one side the sun is falling and the other side is the darker area. So just adding more and more darker lines. Adding some smaller branches and sub brranches. So we're almost done with the tree part. We will not add any leaves over here. So just the tree and the tree branches. That's it. And the reflection, which is on one side. So now we are done with this. Now we will add the reflection part. So the reflections again on one side of it. So taking my smaller size flat brush and making the color a little fluid, mixing this brown and a little bit of black and then applying a little white also to it and just adding some nice reflections to this side. So this is it with the drawing part and with the coloring and rest, we'll just write the ates and this is done. Very simple yet beautiful painting, it is. Try it out and do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare on my story. So just write except yourself with your technical pen, and that's it. Your painting is done. I like writing codes, and it's up to you. It's completely optional if you want to write it or not. But for every painting, I have one quotation. So just let's remove the tape and see how it looks. So try to remove the tape at an angle. So this is the complete painting and to try it out by yourself. And you can see how the nice border is created when you put the masking tape. So this is it. So see you in the next painting. 13. Sky High Part One: Welcome back. Let's start with another painting that is sky high. Let's first add the colors which we will be using here. The first color which I'm using is the violet color, which is the second color is a mix of cadmium yellow and red and white mix. It's morely towards the pinkish orangy color, which it is. So something like this type of color which I'm using here. So violet cadmium yellow. You can use any red, whichever red you have Alazarin crimson, any red, whichever red and black and white. So these are the colors which we will be using for our painting, and the painting which we will be doing is this. You can see the background with two colors. And so these are the two colors which we will be using and rest are with black and white. So this is a simple, beautiful painting which we will be doing. So let's start with our painting. So I have taken all the colors as you can see over here. So, just have taped down the entire thing nicely. And without drawing much, I'll just draw the below part and that's it. And rest we will be doing directly by using the color. So try to draw very light pencil lines, not very dark. Otherwise, that pencil, charcoal or graphite may come into your painting. So if you don't have violet color, you can also use ultramarine blue. That is also a little violet color. And here we have to make pastel shades, so more will be white color. So try to make it a very pastel shade color because in pastel shade, more color is white and the other color is yes. So just making all the colors and then I'll start with the painting. So again, I'm taking this red and a mix of cadmium yellow, very little amount and white. So just mixing it and seeing how the color has been formed. So I feel that this color is a little bit dark and a little bit more pinkish. So I'm just adding a little more of yellow because I want a pinkish, orangy color. It should not be totally pinkish color. So something like that. So just making a little lighter and a little more yellow adding to it. So something this type of color, which I'm looking at it. So just starting with the background with first the cool color and then the warm color, I will be mixing. So I'm just taking my brush, wet brush, applying thick amount of color on the top. And as we will go down, we'll start blending the colors. So mixing a little bit more of this color because I feel it is very less. So I'm just mixing again this color and just making it more thick and so if you add thick colors, you can easily blend the colors. That's why thick color is important. And if you feel that your brush is getting dry, again, dip your brush in water and then take the color. Once I have applied this color, as I will move down, I will add more and more pinkish to it. So this is how we have to move. So I'm just making it a little lighter and again, applying the color and just blending it with the darker pastel shade color. So just blending the colors with very soft hand. Don't press your brush. Otherwise, there will be brush marks. Try to do it with very light hand. Again, taking a little bit more of white into it, and again, adding the more lighter version of this violety color. So try to blend the lighter color with the darker color. Then we'll take this nice pinkish color. And first, I will apply it in the lower section. And just one line. And with white, I'll try to blend this color. So if you feel that it has a lot of white in it, just wash off your brush and just with your damp brush, try to blend the colors. So again, I will take that purplish color and I'll try to blend it with the pinkish color. So this is how we have to do the blending. Now, still, you can see there is a line. So again, we have to apply that color. Then only that blending will be done. So just moving the brush and moving it in the above upward direction. And you can see now the blending has happened because my background color was wet. So every time you are blending the colors, make sure that both the colors are wet, then only you will be able to blend the colors. So again, taking the color a little bit more orange side and just trying to blend the color with the bluish color. So this is how we have to do the blending and whenever you feel there is a lot of color, just wash off your brush, and again, just with your damp brush, you can blend the colors. So again, I will wash off my brush, and just with my damp brush, I'll just try to blend the two colors which are joining each other. Now, you can see how the blending has been done. So whenever you are doing blending to with a very light pressure, don't press your brush too much. Again, I will apply the second coat on this. So whenever you do any painting, at least apply two codes of the background color to make a smooth finish of the color. So making it more smooth. Now, you can see the difference when we have applied the first coat and this is the second code. It has become more smooth and more nice and neat. So that's what we want for our background to be. So just applying in a similar manner and trying to blend the colors. Now, once our blending is done, we will do the lower part, which is mostly blackish in color. So just above part is more like light pastel shade. Rest of it is mostly done with black color. The more and more you will practice, the more and more you will get it. That's what this class is about, just for practicing it every day. 14. Sky High Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have done the background. Now we will do the lower part. Just taking my round brush and some nice milky color, black color. I'm just applying it in the pillow section. First I'm applying it to the edges, and then I will just fill the entire section with black color. Try to use thick color so that in one go, you can fill it. If you feel that the color is a little transparent, you can add the second coat also to this black color. This is it with the black portion. Now we will add some small, small trees and details around it, and especially the center tree which is there that also we'll draw directly by using our brush. So whenever you are drawing the lines or anything, make sure that your color is fluid, not thick. So just filling it in again because some of the areas are a little transparent in color. Now I'm taking my rigor brush, making the color a little thin, and I'll start drawing the lines and also some tree textures here and there below. Just small, small tree textures, I'm just adding just with my rigor brush, or you can use size zero round brush also. Very small small textures here and there, just lines and some dots. I'm adding just to look like that there are some trees which are there in this back area. Very small small textures, as you can see. So some of the big trees also I will add to the sides, adding by adding some tree trunk and all. So a little bit bigger trees on the side part. Just adding some branches and tree line. A little bit, very small, small textures of tree in a half circle manner. Very small small textures that some of the trees which are very far or back, that they are looking very small. Now we will start adding the center tree. Just make your color fluid and then start adding the center one. So first, make the main line. It's okay if you're making thin line, you can make it thick afterwards. But first, make the line thin and then correct it, and then start reshaping the line. So if you're not comfortable drawing directly with color, you can draw with your watercolor pencils or chalk pencils, and then you can paint it directly. So try not to use pencil line because we will not be able to rub the pencil line. So just trying to draw the sub branches and some stems coming out here from here and there, I will leave the central part because there I will add the sun. Some branches here and there. It's not a very thick tree, very thin tree, it is. So once we have added the lines, now I will add with my filbert brush the textures. Now here I'm using a damp brush, and the texture is just applying on the tip and just dabbing it the tip of my brush. Since the tip is like a half circle, so you'll be able to create a nice half circle texture onto it. Try to make it a half circle shape so that it will give a nice look to your tree. Very easy way of creating the tree textures. And try to use smaller size brush that is of size one or two, not bigger than that. Now I will just add the center part of it with a small circle around mixing this cadmium yellow and white. A little more brighter just by adding a little bit more white to it. So if you want to make it more shiny, you can add a little bit more white to the center. So this is it for this entire painting, you can add birds flying, anything you can add, it's totally up to you. So this is the painting which is complete. Now we will add the coats, which I will add in the black section. So with my white gelpin. So I like writing code. So you can skip this part if you don't want to write codes and you just want the painting that is totally up to you. So just writing the codes and then we'll take out the masking tape. So this is it. So beautiful painting. And if you're trying it out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. So see you in the next class. 15. Breathe Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with our new painting that is breathe. So this is a very warm painting in which I have used the colors as pains gray and a mix of white, very light color. It is. If you don't have pains gray, you can use black and white mix, then cadmium yellow, cadmium orange and white. So all these colors we will be using for the background painting and um another color that is a very dark black color and white color. So all these colors we will be using. So let's start with our painting. So this is the page which I have kept it and just drawing the center line first, and then we'll start with the painting. So first, little bit of drawing is needed here, not too much, just the center line and a little bit of the bushes or the background mountains which are there. So this is the drawing and rest we will do directly by using the colors. And here will be the sun, which is half in a half circle. So let's start with our painting. So taking my flat brush loaded with water, we'll start first with the darker color that is the orange color. So either you can start below from below or you can start from top. It's totally up to you wherever you want to start. So I'll start with orange first, mixing taking a lot of orange here and just adding it below first. And then as I will go up, it will become more lighter by adding the cadmium yellow, and simultaneously, I will blend the colors. So mixing orange and yellow and trying to blend the colors. So as I'll go above, I will take more of the cadmium yellow and will blend the colors. So most of the time, you will see cadmium yellow as very light. So now taking pains gray and the white color and just applying it from above. And then gradually I'll go down and then I will blend the colors. You can see I have left a gap in between yellow and the gray color. So here is the point where I'll start blending the colors with more white, added to this gray and trying to blend the color very gently. Now, already my yellow color has dried a little bit, but still it is a little bit, so you can easily blend that color. You can see that. So again, we will do the lower part also. So lower part also, same colors, but since this is a water, so the reflection will be just opposite to the above sky. So again, taking similar color, and we'll start from the lower part using the gray color. That is the pains gray and white mix. And as I will go above, I will add more yellow and then orange because this is the reflection of the sky. So whenever you are adding yellow, try to blend this yellow with the pains gray color first. So try to blend the colors first and then move above. So again, I have taken that pains gray, and I'm just trying to blend this color with the yellow color. As you can see, pain's gray is much lighter than yellow. So you can take Pain's gray and blend the color. Now I'm mixing yellow and orange, and then I will blend with this yellow. So whenever you are blending, take the lighter color and blend the colors. So again, I will take yellow and I'll try to blend the colors where the yellow and the orange meet. So this is how the first coat is done. Now my upper background has dried. So this is done. So now we will start doing the above part again. So same color I will be using again, and again, one more coat I will apply to the background. Now, every time you will mix the colors, there will be a difference between the colors a little bit. So don't worry about that. It is perfectly fine. Just try to blend the colors when you are moving it. Now, this is the time when you can fix the colors. You can make the blending more powerful and more like neat. So just taking more of this orange and yellow mix and trying to blend the colors again. 16. Breathe Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. I can see there is a line in between, so I'll just fix that line and then again, I will start with the painting. Again, I'm mixing that color. Now I'm doing the third coat over here, so it's completely fine. If you're not fulfilled, if you think that it is not proper, then you can go ahead with the third at also. So you can see I've applied till the line below where I could see the line, and I'm just mixing white and yellow and trying to blend the color first, and then I will move downward. So for smooth finish, you have to give time to your blending until unless it is, like, nice and fully blended and very neat. Then only the background will look like, like, very neat and bright. Like a smooth finish. Like, the colors are going from dark to light. It should look like that. So that's what I'm trying to do over here just by blending the colors. So blending will only take place if your colors are wet. If it is dry, you will not be able to blend the colors. So that you have to keep in mind, both the color has to be wet, then only you will blend it. Now we'll do the lower part. So we have just done one coat for the lower part. We are doing the second coat. So similar colors and, again, a little smooth blend of the colors. Taking yellow and white mix and trying to blend the colors first. So just making it more smooth and perfect blend. Now I'm adding yellow, and then again, I'm blending the colors. So again, I will take orange and blend again with the similar colors. So this is how we have to blend the colors and do it slowly, take your time and try to blend the colors. Once your blending is done and once your background has dried, then we will do the detailings. So if you live in a very hot area, the background will dry immediately. But if you live in, like, humid area or, like, it is a cold place, then it will take time to dry. So wait for it to dry. Once it has dried, then we'll add the details. So taking my rigor brush, and first, we'll start with the part below, creating some lines, some darker lines than the lines with the color, similar color, but a little darker. So just adding some lines here and there. So I'll not make this whole background, the foreground very messy, just adding some lines here and there, and that's it. We'll be doing. I don't want to complicate this painting, so I've just added some lines and some orange lines also I'll add in between. So very simple and easy lines you can draw. You can also use your round brush for drawing the lines if you're not comfortable with your rigor brush. So try to make your color fluid and then draw the lines. Now, once we have drawn the lines, we will be adding some more details. So the lines which are joining the middle part and the lower part, that area, I will make it a little lighter. Just adding the lines so try to make this color a little bit darker than your background color. Then only that color will be visible. Now we will take the white color and a mix of yellow and white. And I'll just try to create a nice half sun, which is a sunset time, and the sun is setting, so half of it is visible, so something like that. So it's just making it and just trying to smudge the harder area with water. So making it more half circle, so making it a thin color because there is water on my brush, so you can easily make your color thin when the color is wet. Just making the color thin, and then I will just apply a thick white color in the center. So since my background is already wet, so when you will add white, a little bit of yellow will mix and it will turn into a little yellowish color. That is okay. That is perfectly fine. So now we will also add the reflections below. But first, we will add the lines which are there, the middle ground where there is lots of bushes and trees which are behind by just adding with my round brush, just giving him some textures here and there and just creating a straight line, and I will just fill it with this black color. So just making the color filled with black, the center, I will try to make it a little bit more like orange just by adding orange color. So that's why I have left that area. So just taking a little bit of orange and then doing this part with a little orangey mix, black and orange mix. So this is the area where the sunlight is there. That's why I made that area a little orange. So likewise, I'll cover this entire area. Now we will add the line which is in the center. So just making a nice center line with my round brush, taking white and a little yellowish color and making a nice thick line in there that is the horizon line. And then I'll just add the reflections below. So just adding some reflections below of the sun. So using my flat brush like completely dry brush and adding some textures, just dabbing my brush and creating some nice textures. So this will create a very nice reflection of the sun. You can also add a little bit of yellow in between and a little bit of white also in between, just to make it more glowing. So in between, I have added yellow in the sides. I have added a little bit more white. So just adding some more layers of this yellow. And then we will just add one bird on the top, and then we are done with it. Just adding some more white in the center with my rigor brush, some thick colors of white because the more white you will add thicker colours, the more bright and vibrant it will look. So now taking my technical pen, I'll just add one bird, which is flying, a small bird. Now, this is completely optional. You can leave that or you can make it. If you feel that this is perfect, you don't want to add bird, it's totally fine. If you want to add more birds, that is also fine. So it's your painting. You can do it in your own way. A very simple small bird, which I'm adding here, you can add it or you can leave it. It's totally up to you because it is your painting, you have to decide it. So this is it. And just we will add the quotation, and this is done. So why I have kept the coat as breathe because that bird is just enjoying the fresh breath which is there. That's why I've kept this name as breathe. So this is it. And if you're trying it out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I would love to reshare it. And this is it. Just let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So this is done, and we will meet in our next painting. 17. Love Nature Part One: Hello, all. Welcome back to our new painting that is love nature. This is the painting which we will be doing. Let's first discuss about the colors. The first color is pale blue or you can say light blue. And if you don't have light blue, you can use any blue color and add white to it to make it a light bluish color. It would be good if you take the thalo blue and mix it with white. Then the third color is the pinkish, little bit pinkish and purplish color because when blue will react with this pink color, then it will turn into a pinkish color in which I have used red. Or lazarin you can use. Then comes a mix of viridian, black and yellow. Then as we will go down, it will become more lighter just by adding radian and yellow, and then more light, it will be just by adding yellow and mixing it with the green color. This is the pattern which we will be using for our painting. Let's start with our painting. Of course, black we will be using for detailings. These all colors we will be needing for our painting. Let's start with our painting. So now in this painting, you can see I put the page in a landscape shape. It's not like vertical, it's in a landscape shape. So it is. So just a little bit of drawing is required, and then we are done with the drawing. Just the below part, I will draw and rest we will be filling by the color. So there are two mountains. One is below and the other one is above. These are all green mountains. So just drawing it, and this is it, and then we'll do directly with the colors. So let's discuss about the colors again. The one is alzarin crimson, blue, white, lemon yellow, and viridian. So these are all colors we will be needing. Apart from this, one more color is there, that is black color. So these are colors we will be needing for our painting. So let's start first with the background. Again, using my flat brush loaded with water, I'll start with a light bluish color. So again, if you don't have light blue color, you can make it just by mixing white to it. So first, this color, that is a bluish color. And then as we will go down, I will make it a little bit more lighter and then we'll make the pinkish color and try to blend with this blue color. So as you are moving down, simultaneously blend the colors as well. So with my damp brush, I'm trying to blend this lighter color with the darker color. Now taking lazarin crimson and little bit of white. I'm just making it a very pinkish color and just applying it from the edge of the mountain. And as we go above, this color will mix with the blue color and it will turn out to be a little violety pinkish color. So this is how we have to paint the background. So again, I'm taking this nice pinkish color. And you can see there's a gap in between the two colors. I'll just take a little bit of blue and with this pinkish color, again, I will add the color because both the color has to be wet when you are blending the colors. So again, taking a little bit white and blue, making a little eye lighter blue color and then blending it with the pink color. So just blending it in now you can see there is a line in between the blue and the light blue. So that just with your damp brush, try to blend the colors. The more you will blend it, the more it will look neat. So this is how we have to blend the colors. 18. Love Nature Part Two: Welcome back. Let's start further. Now we have done the background. We will do one more coat of it. But first, let's do the lower part which is there. Just taking this radiant color first and applying it above, just using my round brush, keeping my brush at 45 degree angle and giving a little textures on the top and just filling it with this radiant color. Now mixing this with a yellow that is lemon yellow. Now you can see the color has dried. That's why that line is coming. Again, I'm applying this color and taking again this light color and trying to blend it with the darker color. When the color dries, you will not be able to blend the colors. You have to keep in mind that both the color has to be wet then only you will be able to blend the colors. That's why every time take thick colours. This is how you have to blend the area which is the hill area or you can see the land area. Now we'll start with the lower part, making it a little darker on the above part. I think it is a little light. Mixing it with a little black, I'm just making the above part a little darker and again, blending it with the lighter color. Taking yellow and blending the color. Sometimes you don't need the colors because already green color is there on your brush, so you just need your lighter color to blend the whole colors. Now the lower part is mostly the darker color which is there, taking a nice dark color of green and black mix and just giving some edge to the area which is the line. A little more from above, we can start and just giving a little edge with my brush, and then I will completely fill with this color. I don't want that edge to be smooth. That's why I'm adding these textures, moving it in just dabbing it with the brush and then just filling it with the darker color. So if you take thick colour in one coat, it is perfectly fine. You don't have to repeat it again and again. So one coat if you have done, it's perfectly fine. You can see how beautiful that land is looking when you're using viridian color. If you don't have viridian color, you can use any green whichever you have. Now my background has dried. I'll apply one more coat on this because I'm not happy with the background. Adding again the second coat. Just adding more white and blending the color with the light blue color. Just blending it now this is the time when we can fix our issues. I was not liking that white part, so I wanted to make it more smooth. I'm just taking a lighter color again, thick lighter color and then taking again this red and making it a little bit more lighter and then trying to blend this color with the light bluish color which is there. Just pushing this pink towards the blue so that it turns into a little bit more of violety color. M now you can see this blending, it is more perfect than the previous one. Whenever you are not happy with your blending, you can always redo your blending work. Because once the colors dry, nothing will happen. You can always redo it. Now I will create small small trees which are there below. Some of the above little little edges I'm just trying to create. All over very small small edges with a mix of black and green. This is little small trees which I will create, which is on the lower pathway. Again, with a darker color. Now taking my Filbert brush completely damp brush and first creating a half circle shape in some areas. Then I will create the tree lines that is the tree branches and tree trunk. So very easy way of creating the tree textures by using the filbert brush. Try to use smaller size filbert brush, not very big size, and then some lines tree lines, and this is it that small trees are ready. And you can add some branches here and there. This is the whole painting. Little bit more tree lines, we will add some smaller, some big trees. Now, with your rigor brush, also, you can create this half circle type of shape and then add very small trees. Here and there, some bushes and just some bushes and grasses here and there. I'm just adding. And little small small details, and this is just to make your painting look more beautiful. These are the smaller trees which I have added. Now there are birds which are flying on the top. So here we will add some birds. I'm just using my technical pen, black technical pen for adding the birds. You can add with your acrylic colors also, but I feel that this is more easy than doing it with the acrylic colors. Just making a V shape and creating some birds moving here and there. This is it with the painting and now we will write the ats and then we'll take out the masking tape and it is done. For the coats, I'm writing in the darker section with my white gelpin that is love nature. We should all love nature because nature is so beautiful and it gives a lot to us. Love nature, and that's it. And then we'll take out the masking tape and see how it looks. Try to take out the masking tape at an angle. If you're trying this painting, do tag me on my Instagram, that is Mohini Art Gallery. I would love to reshare your artwork and this is a nice, beautiful, vibrant painting with a subtle look to it, see you in the next class. 19. Peace Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with our new painting that is peace. So this is the painting which we will be doing. So let's first discuss about the colors. So the first color is the quite a dark color. You can use Prussian blue or windsor blue. A blue you can use, then this is the light blue. Then comes the teal color. The third color is suralum blue and white and black. So these are colors we will be using for our painting. So we will be moving the brush in circles. So let's start with it. So this is the painting. So I have just made a center line, as you can see. We don't have to do much of the drawing over here, just the center line, and these are the colors as we have discussed. So all these colors we will be using for our painting. Make sure that all the corners are nicely sticked. And let's start with the painting. So you can use bigger size round brush or flat brush for doing the circular movement of this painting. But I will be using here same flat brush. So I'll start from the center, and then I will move in the outward direction. So in this process, I will be using two brushes. One is the round brush, and one is the flat brush. So first, I'm making a nice circle in the center with white color. Then comes the light blue color. If you don't have light blue, you can just mix white and blue. Serlim blue, and you can make this blue. Then comes the third color, which is the teal color. It's a very nice vibrant color, as you can see. So I'm just blending the colors a little bit with my brush. Then comes the third color. So whenever we are mixing the colors, try to mix it in a circular motion using the side of your brush. Always push the lighter color towards the darker color. So now I am using this teal color. And again, we will do the blending in a similar manner. So just applying a nice thick circle of this teal color. And then washing off my brush and then moving in circles, since my light blue and teal is wet, so you can easily move the circles. Every time I am washing off my brush. So again, I'm taking white and moving the brush in circles and moving outward. This is also one of the way of blending. Now comes third color which we will be using is the serleum blue. And for this time, I will be using my flat brush because the area is quite big. So that's why I'm using here the flat brush and taking a thick color of serleium blue and applying it in a circular manner. After that, the color is a little more darker. So by just mixing this darker blue, that is Priscian blue, or you can take windsor blue and just apply it in the corners. So just applying the darker colors and Currently, I haven't blended the darker ones. It is still like that. I have just applied the color. Now I will start with more of the blending process. So I'm just blending the two colors. That is the darker color and the blue color. I haven't blended the central part. So just making the sides a little bit more darker. So now I will take the smaller size flat brush and I will start the blending process using the teal color and the serleum blue. Moving the teal color towards the serleum blue because every time we move the lighter color towards the darker color. So I'm just blending the serleum blue and the teal, then a little bit more of this bluish color. So just taking the damp brush and trying to blend the colors which are in the outer section, again, taking a little bit of teal and just moving the brush in circle. So this is how we have to do the blending. Sometimes we only need a damp brush to blend the colors. So once we are done with this blending, then we will do the lower part, which is there. So when you use a light blue or a teal color, that glow comes out automatically because those are very bright and beautiful colors. So now I'm just painting the sides with my Prussian blue first with darker color, and then as we will go in between, it will be a lighter color. Making the central line with my flat brush and just applying a nice thick coat on both the sides, and then I will use the blue color for the central part and blending it with the darker color. Again, I will take the lighter color and put it in the sides and then in the central part, I will be using the teal color. So this is how we have to do the blending of the colors. Again, I'm taking the darker color and I'm trying to blend with the lighter color. Just move your brush in to and fro motion and you will be able to blend the colors. So this is it for the blending part. 20. Peace Part Two: Let's start further. So we have done one coat of the blending. Let's do the second coat so that more finished look comes up. So again, I'm adding a nice white color, then light blue. I haven't washed off my brush, as you have seen. I've just taken the light color directly. Then comes the teal color. Try to use thick colors so that these colors will not dry very fast. If you will use thin colors, the colors will dry very fast and you will not be able to blend the colors. So now I'm just washing off my brush, and again, I'm moving the brush in a circular motion and trying to blend the colors. So again, I'm taking a little bit more of this white, putting it in the center, and just moving the brush in a circular manner using the sides of the round brush, try to use the brush with a side portion instead of using the tip of your brush. So now I will apply this serleum blue with my flat brush, and just you can see how thick my color is when I'm applying it. So try to use a thicker color, not very thin color so that your drying time increases. When you will use thicker color, the drying time automatically increases, and you will be able to blend the colors. So just blending the serum blue with the darker blue. Also, you can see there is a line in between the teal and the blue color. So that also we will blend with the shorter flat brush that is small size flat brush. So just taking this teal and just blending the colors. I will wash off my brush, and also I'll take the damp brush to blend the colors more nicely. Because when you use damp brush, you can easily blend the colors more perfectly. Because already we have lots of thick colours on our paper, so just we need the brush for blending. Now, once the blending is done, we'll start doing the lower details. Making the center line. So now, again, taking the darker color on the tip of my flat brush, and I will create some ripple details. Just moving the brush into and from motion and creating some nice lines. D. In both the sides, I will be adding these darker details. Then in the center, I will just merge these colors with the lighter ones. That is the serlum blue. I'm adding serum blue also so that these colors starting to merge with textures. Sometimes we do merge the colors with textures like this. So now adding teal and white mix and just adding it in the center. Again, taking just the teal color and adding more and more lines, just moving the brush in the to and fro position. Now, just adding this white in the center. So this is how you can make the water so easily. You can see how beautiful it is looking just glowing in the dark. Very beautiful and easy way of creating these textures. Try it out, and I'm sure you will be able to do it. Now, the main part is the tree which is coming, just the one leaf which is coming, just adding a little bit of white in this center part. Just the white color. That's it. Now we will start creating this palm leaves, which is just one leaf which is there. So I will be using my rigor brush. You can use your round brush, any brush you can use, but use a smaller size brush of size zero or one, making a long line and creating some nice leaves, bigger leaves. Whenever you are making any lines, try to make the color a little fluid so that the colors can flow and the lines are easily made. Try not to use thick colors when you are making the lines. So like this, also, we will paint the other side as well. Oh. So we are almost done with this painting. And if you're trying it out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it on my story. And we have done this painting. I'll just write the ate and we'll take out the tape and we'll see how it looks. So a little bit of space was left there, so I've just covered it so that my shape does not get hampered. So just removing the tape very slowly. So this is the best part of the painting. When you remove the tape and you see your painting, it look magical. I hope you also agree with this. This is the whole painting. So we'll just write the coat and we are done with this painting. Because of this peaceful surrounding, I have given this a name piece. So see you in the next painting. 21. Glow Part one: Welcome back. So let's start with another painting that is glow. So as the name is glow, the painting is also very glowing. So in this painting, we will be using different different colors, that is the warm colors, mostly. So the first color is burn Sienna, which is with a mix of little bit of black. So it's a dark, brownish color. And then comes little bit of white, also, we add just to make the color more opaque. Then comes the orange with a mix of Bnciana. It will give a little orangy touch to the brown color. Then comes the orange and yellow ochre for the lower part. And as we go down, we'll mix this lemon yellow and little bit of yellow ocher together, and then more of lemon yellow. As we will move down. So these are colors we will be using and rest of the details with black color and some gray color and the mix of white and black color for the stone, for the rocks. So let's start with our painting. So this is the painting. So I've just taped down the entire thing, and then the colors which I have taken all the colors as you can see over here. So now let's start first with the background. Here, we don't have to draw anything. We will be directly doing with color and moving the brush in circles. So first, I'm taking the burnt sienna, that is the color and just moving the brush in a circular motion. So I've just added a little white to it, just to make it a little more thicker and opaque color, and just moving it in a half circle manner. And then as I'll go down, I will start adding a little bit of the orange to this brown color and just try to blend the color. Again, little down just by adding again, more orange color and just blending the color. So this is how we have to move. Now, already orange is there on my brush, I'll just take yellow ochre and I'll just try to blend it with the orange color. So as I will move downward, I'll mix this lemon yellow with this yellow ochre and try to blend again with the darker color. So as we will go down, the colors will become more lighter and lighter. So this is how we have to do the entire process of the background. Whenever you are doing background painting, always take thick colour because thick colour will not dry very fast. Now I'm just taking nice lemon yellow color and just blending the colors with the above color. So here you can see there is a line. So I'll just again take yellow ocher and just put it over there. And again, I'll try to blend with the lemon yellow color. So this is how we will do the blending. And again, I'm taking lemon yellow, and I'll just fill it till the lower part. So this one coating is done, we'll apply second coat now once the first coat dries. This time, I will make the brown a little bit more darker. So just taking, again, this brown color with mixing little bit of black into it and just adding a nice dark color on the top, very dark brownish color, and then just the mix of brown and orange and just trying to blend the colors again with the darker color. Similarly, as we go down, the colors will become more lighter and lighter. So this is how we will be doing the entire background. Sometimes with just tamp brush, you can just blend the colors every time you don't need the colors if you're using thick colors. So just taking orange and trying to blend the colors a little bit more taking yellow ochre and just pushing the yellow ochre again towards the darker color. So just blending it and making the colors move from dark to light transition. So once we will do the background, and then we'll start doing the details. Similar colors I'm using like I have used for the earlier part for the first coat. We are just repeating the process so that the color becomes thick and more uniform. So just adding a nice thick coat of this warm color, and then we'll start with the details. Just blending it till you are satisfied. 22. Glow Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have done the background. Now we have to divide it into the middle ground, which is the water part. So I'm just taking this brown color and I'll just draw a line with my flat brush, a simple line. You can use your liner brush also for drawing the lines. Now mostly to the sides, I will add the darker colors. So you have to move your brush in a to and fro motion in putting your brush at 45 degree angle and just move it. Try to make your color a little fluid and then move your brush. Then it will be easy for you to move the brushes. So try to do it very gently. Don't press it too much. And whenever you are doing the to and fro motion, now just applying it into and from motion just to create a nice water effect. Now I'm just adding this orange color in the center part just to make and blend the colors. Now, I'll just take this brown and black mix and just apply it in the corner part because I want the corners to be more darker than the middle part. So now let's add the center part with the sun where the sun is there and the reflection is there. So just taking white and lemon yellow color and creating some nice textures, you're also moving the brush into and fro motion, adding the white and lemon yellow mix and just moving the brush in to and fro motion. Now, just dabbing the brush and creating the reflection of the sun in the center. So I will add more and more white to the center part so that it becomes more and more vibrant. But first, I will add the center sun, the circle which is there mixing first the yellow, just making a yellow circle, and then in the center the white, small circle. Just thick white color in the center. So this is it. Also, I'll add some lines in the reflection part just to make it look more glowing. Now we will do the details of the tree and the rock which is there. So let's add the tree line first with my rigor brush. So just taking black colour, fluid black color and just drawing a nice line first, and then I will start adding the thicker lines. So first draw a single line and then make it a little thicker, and then you can just fill in the colors. So this is a very simple and easy way of creating palm tree. So first I'm creating the tree trunk with my rigor brush, and then I'll create the leaves. So whenever you are doing any detailing, use your rigor brush or liner brush or size zero round brush. Now, very big leaves, I'm just creating almost half of the line of the trunk it is. So try to make it big. Don't make it very small. You can see how big it is. It is covering the entire area of my page. So try to make it big, and then we'll add the details of the leaves. Very beautiful and realistic tree it looks when you will do like this. And then taking my round brush and black colour, fluid black color, just moving it in a diagonal and creating the leafy texture. So each and every leaf has the direction in different directions, as you can see, some in both the side leaves, has just one side leaf. So you just have to imagine the tree and decide where you have to add the leafy texture. The more and more you will practice such type of painting, the more you will get the idea. The best practice of trying the trees is take any photo or just watch the tree and then draw it. That also you can do it. Just search for the tree in Google or something and then try it out with just watching that picture. So you'll get more idea out of it. And when you go out, see the tree, what color it is, how the leaves are moving, then you will get more idea that how you have to create the leaves. So just adding a few more leaves. Just these are lines which are in different different directions, but try to make bigger lines. Keep less gap in between the two leaves. Don't give too much gap in between. Now the trees are also done. Now we will create the rocks which is below. For using this, I will be using my flat brush, small size, half, I will add white and half I will add black. And this way, I'll just blend the colors, and then I will make the rocks. So this will create a two layer pattern, as you can see when you use in different different sides. So one side I'm adding white, one side I'm adding black, and then I'm just creating these nice square shapes in different directions. Very easy to create. And I'm sure you will also love this pattern. So you can see how beautiful it is looking like a rock. Try to make it in different different directions. Then only that look will come up. Don't keep it in one direction. In some of them, you can just add black also and just create in between some black rocks also. That's it. And this is just done the rock part. So now we will add the coat which is there, that is the glow. So I will be adding in this water part. With my black color, you can use your white color also for adding any technical pen you can use or gel pen for writing it out. Or you can leave it like this without writing any coats. That is totally your choice. So let's take out this tape and see how it looks. So this is it. We'll meet in the next class now. 23. Live Part One: Hello all. Welcome back to our new class. So this is live. This is the painting which we will be doing. Let's discuss about the colors which we will be using. The first color is the teal color. The second color is windsor blue. Then comes the third color, which is serleium blue and white, black, and lemon yellow. All these colors we will be using for our painting. So all these color we will be using for a painting. So for the background, we will be using, you can see serelm blue and white, then the windsor blue, then the teal color. So like that, we will start doing the coloring. So I've just taken out all the colors as you can see over here. So let's first create a horizontal line. So this line I'm just making a little below from the center. So let's talk about the colors first. So the first color is windsor blue, then the teal color, then serum blue, white, black, and lemon yellow. If you don't have Windsor blue, you can take the Prussian blue also. So just make sure that every corner is taped down properly. So I have just wet my brush and just loading the first color, which is serum blue on the top. And as I will go down, I will make this color more lighter and lighter. So this is the best color for the sky. If you want a very bluish sky, seralium blue is the color for making your sky really blue and So this is actually the natural color of the sky. So as I'm going down, I'm making the colors a little more lighter and lighter. So from dark to light transition we have to create. So as I'm going down, I'm increasing the white proportion, and blue proportion is less. So just blending the colors, and this is it. And then we will do the lower part. So for the lower part, the first color which I will use is the Windsor blue. So starting from the top, Windsor blue is a little darker color. But if you don't have Windsor blue, then you can use Tritianblue also. So just adding this thicker color with a mix of serleum blue on the top. And as I will go down, I will start adding the serleum blue. And as I'll go down further, I will start adding the teal color. So just taking the teal color and trying to blend with this serleum blue. Whenever we mix any color, try to push the lighter color towards the darker color and just blending it. And as I will go further down, I will just take another serleum blue and just blend with the colors. So this is the whole background and the foreground painting. And one more coat we will be doing after this first coat dries up. So whenever you do two coats of it, you will see the difference at how beautiful it comes up when you add the second coat. The finishing and everything comes up very well. So again, I'm adding these radium blue, and then as I'm going down, I'm adding more and more white to it. This time, try to fix the brush marks. And whenever you are doing blending, do it with a very light pressure. Sometimes with only damp brush, you can blend the colors. So you can see with the second coat the blending has become so neat and proper. So same way we will be doing the lower part also. So just adding the second coat of it. Mixing the darker blue and the urllum blue. And first I'm making the line, and then I'm just filling it in a vertical position, the darker color. And then as I will go down, I will add serium blue and try to blend with this darker color. And as we are moving down, again, I'm mixing with teal. So this is how we have to blend the colors for the water part. The steel is a very beautiful and vibrant color. So if you don't have teal, you can just mix blue and little bit of yellow to make this steel color. Also add a little bit of white to it. 24. Live Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have done the background. Now we will start doing the little bit of clouds which are at the lower part of the skies, taking my flat brush and just adding. Now, this brush is a damp brush. It is not a wet brush. So try to take a little little colors of white and just try to smudge the white color across the horizontal pattern, small small clouds here and there. I'm just adding. I will not add too many clouds over here. So whenever you are creating clouds, take very little color. So now again, I'm taking the mix of the colors that is just creating small small clouds. That's it. And after that, we'll start creating the tree, which is the main part. So I'll not do anything in this water. It is a still ocean which I have made. So now we will make just dark grayish color, and we'll make the tree trunk, which is like S shape. So first I'm just making a line, and then I will just make it a little thicker. So if you're not sure that the lines will be perfect or not, you can use your chalk pencils or any other watercolor pencils to create these lines. Just adding a little bit of white to one side and just blending it with the darker color. So now we will add the lines. Now, this time, I will switch to my rigor brush and then I'll create the lines. Whenever you are using rigor brush, make your color a little fluid and then use to make the lines. Otherwise, the lines will be very crooked. So try to make it like a fluid color. So you can see this has become because my brush was dry. I've just mixed a little bit water, and then I'm creating the lines. Very big lines are these. I want this whole up area to be covered with all these tree leaves. I will also add the lines that tree lines, making the color a little thin, just moving in the downward direction. So whenever we are making any details in these trees, we always add first the darker color, then the lighter color, then the more lighter color. So this is how we do in our tree painting or any other painting. So I'm just adding the leaves. Bigger lines, try to add bigger lines, not smaller lines. So in each and every leaf, the direction changes as you can see. So just enjoy making the palm tree. It is a very beautiful tree and make sure that when you're making the palm tree, it is like a round shape. So everywhere I'm not making both the sides. Only in the upward area, I will make the leaves in both the sides. Since all the leaves are in the downward direction, so I have just made it in the downward direction, the leaves. But the upper leaves, I have made it in both directions as you can see. Now, once this color dries, we will add now the lighter colors by mixing this lemon yellow and blue mix. So Cirillium blue will get a nice greenish color, as you can see, we'll get a nice greenish color and just applying it in some areas of black. I'm not covering the entire black area. I'm just adding few areas with this greenish color. So trees leaves does not have only one color. They are a mix of colors. They are light colours, dark colors, some yellowish color, some brownish color. So that makes the tree look more beautiful and more real. So I'm just adding more yellow and white and trying to add more lighter color leaves. Just adding here and there, I'm not filling it entirely. So you can see how beautiful it looks when you add the varieties of colors of green. Now I will take white and yellow mix, and I will add the lines which are there. So the lines which are at the joining are thick, and as it goes out, it becomes thin. So try to make the color a little fluid and then draw these lines. All these detailings will be done with the rigor brush or liner brush. So once we have added the lines, if you feel that some of the areas, the color has become transparent, you can redo that part. Now, just taking white and black mix, I'm just adding some lines in these tree trunk. Just small, small lines. So this is it. I'll not do much of the whole painting. So this is the entire tree line and the tree setup. I'm just adding one single line on the other side, and just let's remove the tape and see how it looks. Very simple and easy painting with a nice beautiful background. And then we'll write the code, and this is done. To try it out and enjoy this beautiful beach painting and just writing the coat with the white gelpin. So this is it. So let's meet in our new class. 25. Hold On Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting. So the first let's discuss this is a painting which we will be doing. So let's first discuss about the colors. So the first color which we will be using is the Windsor blue and a mix of this burgundy and little bit of black mix. So this is the color. So a little bit more darker. And then, as it will go down, it will become more burgundy and then some more whitish, pinkish color, and then some yellowish color. So this is how we have to do the background and rest all the details, we will be doing it with the colors. So this is how we have to do the background, and this is the black color which we will be using for our painting. So let's start with our painting. So first, let's make a small sketch, and then we'll start with the painting. So a little line, which is not in the center but little below from the center. So first, I've just taken the colors, which you can see, there are four colors which I have taken. So just I'm drawing the nice mountain section, and below also, I will draw the same thing. We'll start with the above part and then we'll go below. So let's start with our painting. So I'm just taking first color that is the Windsor blue and burgundy mix. So a little bit of black also we will be kneading over here. So I've just taken some black. So mix of black, windsor blue, and burgundy. So very dark color. So a little bit of white just to make the color more opaque. And then there's burgundy color. If you don't have burgundy color, you can use Alazarin crimson. So I've just mixed all the colors and made it quite. You can see dark color. So this time, I will be painting in a half circle, as you can see, like a half circle. So just covering the above part. And as I'll go down, I'll just take Burgundy and I'll try to blend this with the above color. So just trying to blend the colors with the above color, and I'm pushing burgundy color and just adding more of the white, and again, mixing the color and pushing it above. You can see I haven't washed off my brush. I'm directly taking that color so that it becomes a little purplish, and you can easily cover that area. Now I will wash off my brush and again take this burgundy color separately with a mix of this lemon yellow and white. And then, again, I will start putting the colors and blending the color again. So just blending the color and moving this light color upward. So you can see there is a line. You just have to wash off your brush, remove excess of water, and then you can blend the above part also. So first, I'll do the lower part. It's a mix of this, burgundy and yellow mix. So more of white. I'm just adding below, and I'm just trying to blend this color with this pinkish color which is there. So if your pink color has dried, again, you have to apply the colors because whenever we blend the colors, both the color has to be wet, then only you will be able to blend the colors. So just taking more of yellow and applying it below because I want that area to be more yellowish. Now, similar color we will be using for the lower part, but in the opposite direction because this is the reflection of water, water reflection is always opposite to the sky. So the lighter color will come first and darker color will come below. So we will be adding similar color below like we have used above, mixing the color and making it and then blending it with a similar color. So whenever you mix the colors, always push the lighter color towards the darker color, not the darker color towards the lighter. You can see whenever I'm blending the colors, I'm always pushing the lighter ones towards the darker one. Now, the above part with yellow. So you can cover the entire part with yellow instead of leaving that area. 26. Hold On Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further with our painting. So again, I'm just mixing the colors, similar colors, black, blue, and burgundy and the white color. So just making a color a little darker and just applying it now you can see, whenever you will mix any color, there will be color changes. So don't worry about that. It is okay if a little bit of color change is there. So this color you can see it is more towards the bluish side. So I've just taken a little bit of burgundy and I'm just mixing, blending that color. Now I'll just wash off my brush, take a separate burgundy color, and I'll just try to blend this color with the upper color. So as I will push this burgundy towards above, it will automatically turn the color to little, the purplish shade. You can see purplish, pinkish shade. Now again, I'm mixing the similar color, and again, I'm starting to put this color on the top. In this painting, I want the maximum portion to be darkish in color and rest to be a little lightish. So I'm just mixing again this burgundy and lemon yellow and white mix and just placing this lighter color. And then I will blend again with the burgundy color. So just applying this burgundy and trying to blend with the above color and just blending it. And then again, I'm washing off my brush, and again, I will take the color that is the yellow color which is there that is lemon yellow, and again, I will apply it below. So make sure there is not any color on your brush. Otherwise, there are chances that yellow will turn into green. So wash off your brush again and then again take a fresh yellowish color and then apply it in the downward direction. Just mixing a little bit of white in this and just applying it and just blending it with the above pinkish color. Try not to push it more towards the bluish side. It should be towards the pinkish side only. So again, blending it with the burgundy color. So if we will push this yellow towards the bluish side, it will turn into greenish, which we don't want. So that's why I have used this burgundy and I'm trying to blend the colors. And once I will do the above blending, again, I will wash off my brush, and again, I will blend the lower part with my damp brush. So this is how we have to blend the colors. Now my above portion is done. Now I will start doing the lower part. Similar colors like we did for the above one. So just adding again first the darker color. Little bit up and down of the colors doesn't matter because every brand has different color variations. So it is perfectly fine if there is a little bit of changes in colors. And if you don't have this burgundy color, you can always use Alzarin crimson. So just adding again this yellow color And again, I will blend with this burgundy color. Same thing I'm doing. I'm just pushing it towards first blue. Then I will push this yellow towards the pinkish color. So this is it with the background. Now we will add the details of the the color was not there was some dark color. That's why that mark has come up. So again, I'm just taking yellow and white mix, and I'm just trying to blend the colors first again. Make sure that your brush is clean when you're using at a lighter side of the color. Now again, I'll take white and so instead of white, let's start first the middle part. So taking black and this blue mix, I will just add the center mountain which is there with black color using my round brush and just making a center line, and I'll just fill it with this darker color. So try to use a milky color so that in one go, you fill the colors, you don't have to repeat it again and again. Now we will do the reflection below, which is there. I will use my dry fan brush. I'll just use the tip of my brush and just pull this black color downward. So this is a completely dry brush. Don't use wet brush. Otherwise, this effect will not come up. We want a dry brush effect, so I'm just pulling it in a downward direction, using the edge of my brush. So this is it for the reflection part. Now I will add just small lines of the water lines of the ripple lines of this. But first, we will add the center part with the white color where I will add the center part with white color just using my flat brush. Now already my black has not dried. So when white is mixing with black, it is turning into a light grayish color. So that is okay, which we want it to be a little grayish not totally white. So now I will take my rigor brush, make the colors thin, the white color, and I'll start adding some ripples on the reflection side. You can see how beautiful it is looking. The colors very vibrant and a mix of dark and the light, warm color. The effect comes up very beautifully. So very small sun, which I'm adding with white color, and some reflections in the water part. So I'll just add the outline with yellow. Also, I will add some reflection below the sun, which is there with my round brush in a very small area, taking thick white and adding some lines. So this is it. I will just remove the tape and write the quote, and this is done. So if you're trying out this painting, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Moheni Art Gallery. I will love to reshare your artwork. And I'm sure you are also loving this whole series like I am. So the more you will practice, the more you will get it. It's like that. So just writing the quote with my white gelpin That is hold on. So this is it, and we will meet in our next class. 27. Live In Now Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with our new painting that is live in now. So this is a painting which we will be doing. So let's discuss about the colors first. So the first color which I will be using is the mix of black and Windsor blue. So it is a very dark blue. If you don't have windsor blue, you can use trician blue also. It is a similar color to that. Then again, the windsor blue. And as we move down, it will become a little lighter mixing white to it. So these three blues we will be using first. And then comes the violety color mixing this blue and Alazarin crimson and white mix, just to make a little bit of the purplish color and blending the blue with that color. Then comes the pink color mixing white and lazarin together to get a nice pink color and then lemon yellow. So these colors we will be using for the background. Then comes the lower part that is a foreground. We will be using first black and yellow mix to cover the entire background. Then we will add the details of green by mixing blue and lemon yellow to get a nice greenish color, first, starting with the darker green and then with a little lighter green just by adding lemon yellow to it. So this is how we will be doing the painting, and these are the colors which we will be using. So black for creating the details. So these are the colors which we will be using for doing the entire painting. So let's start with a painting. So I've just drawn a line a little bit below the center, and then we'll start with the painting process. I have kept the background a little bit more wider than the foreground, as you can see. So let's start first with the above color. Using my flat brush loaded with water, I will mix this black with this windsor blue and we'll start from above. So since it is a night scene, so actually, the scene is just before the night when the sun has set, and there is still that yellow line which is there and the darkness has started. So this is the scene in between the evening and the night. So just try to make it a little darker, the background. And then as we will go down, a very thin line is that yellowish and purplish and pinkish line. So I'm just moving down and making my colors a little more lighter, but I'm keeping it in a darker manner. I'm not making it very light. So just adding the colors and blending it simultaneously. Now I will start adding the purplish color. That is by mixing this Azarin blue and white mix, a nice purplish color. So it's like a lavender color, you can say. It's not properly purplish, but more like a lavender color. Then again, I'll take blue colour and I will try to blend this color with this purple color. So once we have done with the blending, then again, I will move downward. I will start adding the pinkish color. So sometimes blending is also done with the damp brush. So I have done the blending. Now I will take the pinkish color little below, and I'll start adding this pink color with the edge of my brush because this space is very less. So I'm just using the edge of my brush to paint this and just mixing this blend of colors that is the pink and yellow together just to make a nice yellowish, pinkish look. And blending it with my damp brush. So when your colors are wet, you can easily blend the colors. But for blending your colors, you need thick colors. So every time whenever you are blending, always try to take thick colors. Now, once my background has dried, I will add one more coat to it so that it becomes a nice, perfect finish of colors. So again, mixing the same color and trying to block in it with the same dark color. So it's good to add two coats of the colors. And if you feel that in one code only it has come up properly. No need to add two coats, but two coats actually give a nice finish to your background. Just adding the colors and blending it simultaneously. Make sure when you're adding the second coat, the first coat has dried completely. Try not to add when your first coat is wet. So just blending the colors nicely. I will not put the colors here because I feel it is perfectly fine. So now I will do the lower part mixing this yellow lemon yellow and black to make it a dark greenish color. And I will just cover this entire part with this color. So I've just made the edge, and then I'm just filling it in a vertical manner. So we're almost done with the blocking. Now we will do the detailing of the grasses and small small trees which are there. But before that, we have to first add the stars above. 28. Live In Now Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have done the whole blocking. Now let's add the details. So I'm just wetting my brush, a very fluid color with white and a little bit of blue, and I'll just sprinkle all over on top with my flat brush just making it very fluid so that I can sprinkle it. And just with my finger, I'll try to sprinkle it all over this area. You can use your flat brush also. You can use your fan brush also for sprinkling the stars like this, so you have to fill it all over. And if some of the colors goes inside this black part, don't worry. You can just readjust it by using again, the same color. So you can see some of the spots which have come up on this black part. I will just cover it with the same black and this yellowish color. So just covering it again with this color. Now we will start creating the stars here. So I'm just making this area more yellowish because I want this part to become like more glowing and yellowish in color. So just adding more yellow to it. Now we will add some grasses and then some small trees. So I'm using here my fan brush that is Bristol fan brush. I is completely dry and just using some nice greenish color and applying it over the area, using the tip of my brush. Try to use a damp or dry brush and create these textures. Try not to press your brush, do it with very gentle hand, and just use the tip of your brush, hold your brush at 75 degree angle, and then try creating this. You will see how nicely and beautifully these grasses will come up. And I'm just pulling it little bit down to make a little longer grasses. The very easy method of creating such grasses. And now I will use my rigor brush after this for creating some nice tree textures and tree lines. So just taking my, um, rig up brush and making a color a little fluid because I have to make a longer grasses now. So I will just make the colors a little lighter than the one which I have used here and just making some nice long grasses below. I've just added a little bit more of yellow to make the grasses a little bit more lighter, and I'm just trying to make some longer grasses. So just adding little little details makes your painting look more beautiful. So very small small grasses as I'm going above. So this is it with the grasses. Whenever you are drawing any grasses, make sure that your color is fluid. And again, with my fan brush, I'm adding these lighter colors on the top because there are very small small grasses on the top part. So just adding it and filling it with the tip of my brush. Now, once we have done with the grasses, now we will add certain tree textures and tree details. So now taking my filbert brush here, I will start adding the tree textures first. Now using a damp filbert brush, not wet, it should be damp brush, and I'll just try to create some half circle shapes on the top. So just taking again a little bit more of this black and just trying to create a nice half circle, as you can see. So trees of different different sizes, some small, some big. Some are just half visible. So like that, you can create the tree textures, and then with the rigor brush, I will be creating the tree trunk and the tree branches. Just taking my rigor brush and trying to create the tree lines. Whenever you're creating small, small trees, this is the best way to create it. Very easy and simple way to create with your filbert brush. If you don't have filbert brush, you can use your round brush also for creating this half circle. So these are some of the trees which are at a very far distance. We can add some of the bushes also on the top. So I'll just add small small bushes and more branches, and just small small textures, I'm adding on the top. Little little bushy areas here, very small textures. So this is it with the painting. So I hope you enjoy doing this painting. And if you have tried this painting out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohii Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it on my story. Now I'm just writing the codes with my white gelpin. So you can leave this part or you can add it. It's totally up to you. So I like writing codes, so I'm writing it on my painting. So this is it. And we'll just take out a tape and see how it looks. Whenever you are taking out the tape, try to take it out at an angle so that the paper should not come out. A very beautiful and bright painting, it is. And do try it out, and we will meet in the next class. 29. Gratitude Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with another painting that is gratitude. So these are the colors which we will be using for this painting. We will discuss one by one here the colors. Here, there is no mixing is required much, so we will directly do it over here, the coloring. Let's first draw a sketch, and then we will start with the coloring process. So I'm just drawing the line, which is a little below from the center. So just a nice line. So my sky is more than the, um, foreground. So these are some of the backside distance tree which are there. Then there is a mountain, which is like a smoky mountain which is there in the backside, and then some trees we will be adding and some shadow effect of the sky also, I will be showing over this area, which is the foreground area. So this is the drawing which is required, and rest we will be doing directly by using colors. So these are the colors we will be using white yellow ocher, burn sienna, cad yellow, orange, black, and viridian. So let's start first with the yellow ochre and little bit of white mix. Again, using my flat brush loaded with water. Also, I've mixed burn sienna a little bit to change the color to little orange. After that, I will be using this more of this burn sienna and yellow ocher mix and apply another coat on top of it. Then comes the cadmium yellow, which I will be taking with white, and I'll just try to blend it with the upper colour. So here you can see, I haven't mixed here the cadmium yellow with white. I have directly applied white on this. So this also you can do if your color is wet. Then comes the orange, burn sienna and white mix and applying it in the lower portion, which touches the backside mountain. Taking more of this color and just covering this entire part and also blending it with the yellow. It's a very beautiful and warm sky, as you can see, and a very beautiful painting. Here, we learn so many color mixing parts, as you can see. We can mix and make so many colors. So whenever you are doing it, try to mix and make the colors. It will be more helpful for you to learn the color mixing. Now I will do the backside again by color mixing. So I have just taken black, white, and in this color, I will just add a little bit of viridian, and you will see a nice color which will come of very dark greenish color. It's not totally greenish because viridian is more towards the bluish side. So that's why the color has a different value to it. If you don't have this type of green, you can use sap green also for doing this. So just adding first, the top layer, And then as I will go down, I will make the color more lighter and lighter. So you can see I'm just adding more white to it, and I'm just applying it in the lower part. And then again, I will blend this color with the darker color. So this will create a nice smoky effect in the backside mountain. So again, I'm mixing the color. So whenever you will mix the colors every time the color value will change. So don't worry about that little bit of color change, doesn't matter. So now, again, I'm just taking the white color a little bit more, the lighter color, and just trying to blend the color with the darker color. So it's a very beautiful and lovely color, as you can see over here. Very different. Sometimes you have to blend just with the damp brush, and you can see how nicely it has blended up. So now the middle part which is there, it is with black color, which we will be doing directly with black. So again, taking my round brush and filling this center part, which is there. You can mix a little bit of green also just to make it a little more greenish, but try to take it a very dark color because the lower part is also green in color. So just applying first the textures, and then I will just fill it with the darker color. Using my rigor brush, just making a nice line and then filling it with the color. So instead of taking the rigor brush, you can use a smaller size round brush, and this will be easy for you to fill the colors because with rigor brush, it will take a very long time to fill the colors. Now, we have done the upper part a little bit more of blending I will do for the sky because we have done just the one at of it. So a little bit of color fixing here we can do just by mixing the colors again. So again, taking the same color, a little darker version of that. So here I've added more of this burnt sienna and then this cadmium yellow and white mix and just trying to blend the color with the darker color. Then again, the orange color which is there at the bottom part. So just for trying to blend the colors with damp brush. Then taking this orange brownish color and just putting it in the lower part and mixing it with the yellow color. So you can see when you apply two coats of this whole background blending, the blending becomes more vibrant and more neat. Little bit of clouds I will add here and there. 30. Gratitude Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we will add the details below, that is the foreground. Using black and viridian mix, so I'll start applying the color. The color should be lighter than the color which you have used on the above. Try to make it lighter and just filling it with this nice dark color. So here also I'm using my round brush. You can use your flat brush also for filling it. A brush you can use for filling the foreground. Leaving the center part, which, and rest of the areas, I will just be filling it with this nice, dark, greenish color. So once we have covered this area, we'll start creating the details. So taking my fan brush and this car yellow and mix of green and a little bit of white also. So just making it a nice greenish, yellowish color and just adding some textures with my dry brush. This is a dry pistol fan brush which I'm using. And just using the tip of my brush, I'm adding some nice grassy textures. So don't press your brush too much and don't load too much color on your brush. Take a small, small amount of color and just try to dab the tip of your brush, and you'll see how beautiful that grass details comes up. So we will be adding one more layer to it. But first, let's add some details which is in the center part. So just applying the colors similar colors which we have used above. So just taking a nice yellow ochre and little bit of brownish mix. And then as I'm going down, I will make it a little more orangy and yellowish. So same colors I'm using what I have used above. So this is actually a water which has a reflection of the above part. So now, again, I will just add the more orange textures over here because this is the area where the sun will be there. So I'm making this area a little bit more orange just by picking up the orange and applying at the horizon of the horizon line of the mountain. Now taking this nice thick white color and applying it in a side with a circular manner, and then washing off my brush. Taking again this car yellow and applying it to the sides just to make a little bit more shadowy effect to this sun. After that, I will also add the sun over below, which will be the reflection of the sun above. Just half of it, I will show not fully, the reflection which is coming on this part of the area where the water is. So you can see how beautiful it is looking when you will add these details. Some small small textures to the sides of this area, I'm just adding. Just some nice dark textures. Again, I will take my fan brush, and again, the same color and just apply to the area which is near to this water part, applying some textures over here. Now taking my rigor brush and adding some more lines here of the small small lines just to show that this is a reflection of the grasses which are coming here. All these things add a little bit of beauty to your painting. That's it. So this is the entire painting and one more tree is left, which is there. So I'll just take black color and first, I will make the tree branches and the tree trunk, and then I will add the tree. So nice branches. And then on the top, I'll just add the tree textures. So just added the branches and sub branches, and then with my filbert brush, the damp filbert brush, just taking the black and little bit of green colour and just applying it on the top and creating a half circle kind of texture. So very easy way of creating the trees. And if you're trying out this painting, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it. And this is the entire painting. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm just writing the ate and we are done with it. So very beautiful and with a mix of warm and the cool colors. So I hope you also enjoyed doing this painting like I did, and we will meet in our next class. 31. Stay Humble Part one: Welcome back to a new painting that is stay humble. So it's a very glowing painting, as you can see, with lots of warm colors. So let's talk about the colors first. The first color is black and cadmium orange mix, which give a nice burnt sienna color. Then the second orange, and then we will start blending with the cadmium yellow, and then more lighter yellow. So this is how we have to blend the colors. Similarly, for the below part, also, we will be using similar colors, and rest is with black. So let's start with our painting. So a little bit of drawing is needed. Rest we will be doing with colors. So just the foreground drawing, that's it. And rest we will draw directly by using the colors. So I'll just add the reflection part, which will be there below. Rest, the trees we will draw directly, or you can draw a little bit of lines and the tree line, that's it. And rest, we can just do the tree textures directly using the colors. So these are the colors which we will be using white, cadmium yellow, cadmium orange and black. So I'm here using my Philbert brush. So first, I'm just mixing black and orange together. So it will be a kind of burn sienna color, which I will be adding to the sides. A little bit white, also, I will mix just to make the color a little more opaque. So just moving my brush in circles, So I will do in parts. First, I have done this part, and then I will blend the colors and then I'll do the other part. So now I have washed off my brush and taking now this yellowish color, which is cadmium yellow, and I'm just rotating my brush in circles. Just filling the entire thing, which is in the center with cadmium yellow and white mix, just to make the center part look more glowing. Again, taking this orange and this black mix, and I'm trying to cover this entire side portion which is there. Again, taking the orange color and again, mixing a little bit of black, little bit of white, and doing the other sides. Try to take thick colour so that when you do the blending, the colours are still wet. So just rotate it, rotate it and try to blend the colors with the lighter colors. Sometimes you can also use damp brush to blend the colors. Always blend and push the lighter color towards the darker color. So you can see I'm pushing the yellowish color towards the darker color, not the darker color towards the yellowish. So now, again, I'm taking the lighter color which is white and yellow mix, and I'm just pushing it towards the darker portion. So try to rotate your brush in circles and try to fill it the entire portion. This is also one of the technique of doing the background portion. Now we will add here some more colors to the foreground. Similar colors we will be using for the foreground also. So let's start with our flat brush. So I'm just taking orange and black mix first. Little bit more of orange should be there. It should be orange, brownish color. So just adding first orange, black mixed color on the top and giving a nice edge to it. As I will go below, it will become more shiny in the center and again, darker at the bottom. So like that, I want the colors to be. So you can see I've just taken orange and I'm trying to blend with the darker color. Take thick colors so that you can easily blending it because it is very hot in summers and the colors dry very fast. So try to take thick colors. Tick colors will not dry very fast. I've just switched my brush to the round brush and I'm just blending it with this color. Just making it the lower portion a little bit more darker and just applying it this nice orangy color and blending it with the darker color. So I want the middle portion to be more lighter. So that's why I'm using orange to blend with this darker color. Take thick color and you can easily blend the colors. 32. Stay Humble Part two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So we have done one coat of the background. Now I will add another coat. I'll just make the colors more brighter just by adding this orange and black and very little amount of white to it. I want the sides colors to be more brighter and darker. Then mixing it with orange, then the cadmium yellow. So you can see slowly, slowly I'm moving towards the other side so that my colors don't dry very fast. So again, just yellow, and then in the mid section, yellow and white. Again, moving the brush in circles and taking again the same color, similar color, and just rotating it in circles and blending the colors. Again, mixing the darker color and just applying to the sides and then blending it with the orange and cadmium yellow color. So this is how we have to blend the colors. Again, taking white and yellow and just covering the middle section. Sometimes just with tamp brush or the lighter color, you can blend the colors. Don't try to push the darker color towards the center. Otherwise, everything will turn out to be same colour. Now, one at of my background has been done. So now we will be adding some highlights over the area which is there. So just a yellow color and just blending that color. So again, taking a little bit of yellow and just highlighting the horizon line which is there with yellow colour. Then we will add some reflections and the tree part. So for adding the reflections, I will be using my flat brush and the darker color which is there that is black and orange mix a little bit more darker than the background color, and just applying a nice line, which is dark line, which is moving like a V section. So just covering this area and make it more straight. So this is it. Now we will add the tree part which is there. So just adding one more coat to this so that this color become more darker. So now we will start doing the tree details using my rigor brush. Make your color fluid and then add the tree details. First, just making the shape and then applying colors to it. There are some branches which will be going here and there. So this area, I will just make it more orange because there I will add one sun over there. Also adding some branches to both the sides. So just adding some nice lines, some broken branches which are there, some newborn branches which are coming. So like that, we can just add the branches. And then after that, with our Filbert brush, we'll add the tree textures. Whenever you are creating any tree line, make sure that you use fluid color, not thick colour. So just adding some branches and sub branches. Now I will add the tree textures, mixing a little bit of black and yellow and just adding some nice tree texture above. So already there is some orange also. I've added a little bit of yellow also. The color will change a little bit. So you can see I'll not fill it totally. I'm just adding here and there and just filling the outer surface, just making it a little round in shape. Just adding some textures and the tree part is done. After that, we will add the moon the sun, which is there, which is very close to the tree. So first adding cadmium yellow circle. Then taking white and adding a nice circle to it, white and a little bit of yellow mix. And that's just highlighting the taking more white because this has to be glowing. So you can see how beautiful this painting is looking when it is done with all warm colors. You can also try it out and try this painting out, and I'm sure you will love this painting like I did. Little bit of orange highlight I will add over here because I want this area to be a little bit glowing that the sun rays falling over there and this area is becoming more orange. Us some orange highlight. So this is almost done. We'll just write the ates and we are done with this painting. So you can see how beautiful and glowing this painting is looking very warm colors, which I have used here. So just removing the tape, and once the background dries, I will just write the quotes. And if you are trying it out, do share me and tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it on my story. And if you have any doubts, any questions, you can always ask me. So just writing it with my white elpin So this is it, and we will meet in our next class. 33. Stay Strong Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting that is stray strong. So this is the color which we will be using. So let's discuss about the colors first. So the first color is cobalt blue, which is this blue. Then mixing it with white and a little bit more white. So as we will go down, it will be from dark to light transition. Then comes the foreground mixing yellow and green mix. Then directly green. This is a permanent green, then a mix of black and green together to create a night transition, again, from light to dark. So now we will painting the mountains, which are grayish blue color and one more mountain, which will be a little bit yellow added to that. So these are the back mountains and one which is front, a little bit of yellow. I will add to that. So these are the colors which we will be using. So let's start with our painting. So a simple drawing we will be doing first drawing the center line. Just a few drawings, some mountains, and then we are done. So overlapping mountains. And then the colors, these are the colors, the cobalt blue, titanium white, lemon yellow, black, and permanent green. So these all are colors which we will be using. So let's start with our painting. So first, I will take cobalt blue and we'll start from the top. So this is the above part is dark and as it will go down, it will become more lighter and lighter. So this is how we have to move the sky from dark to light. If you don't have cobalt blue, you can use any blue. You can use serlem blue also. So just taking white and I'm just trying to blend this color with the darker blue color. So once the blending is done, again, I'll take more white and apply to the lower part. It will create more lighter version of blue because already blue is there on my brush. Now we will do the foreground. So first is the light color. Taking a little bit more of white and just covering this portion. So now taking the color which is the light yellowish green color. So more yellow and less green. So applying it on the top. And as we will go down, it will become darker and darker. So first, I have mixed this yellow and green, then I will use green and then green and black. So this is how we will be doing the foreground. So once we have done the foreground, and again, we'll start with the background, our background has dried now. So now we can add one more coat to the background. So this is it for the foreground, making it a little more smoother blend of colors. So you can see, again, I'm taking the lightest green colour and just blending it with the darker color. Now, by the time I have done the lower part, the upper part has dried. Now, again, I will add one more coat to this. Now, this time, I will mainly focus on the blending and there should not be any brush marks in there. So just adding first, the darker color, that is the blue colour. Then I will mix a little bit more white to this and try to blend this color with the darker color. Sometimes we only need brush to blend the colors. We don't need any colors to blend it. Now taking more white and adding to the lower part. And then again, blending the colors with the damp brush. So you can see how vibrant these colors are looking with a mix of blue and green. 34. Stay Strong Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we have done two coats of the background. So now I will be adding some clouds. So just taking before doing the clouds, let's add first the mountains. I'm using the grayish blue color for the back mountains which are there. So first outlining it and I'm just filling it with the same color. So both the side mountains, I will be using the same color. And for the center mountain, I will be adding a little bit of black and white and little amount of yellow to change the colors a little bit. And the center one, I will be making it a little lighter and more like a greenish, like olive color. So just adding this color to the front mountain. So you can see, it's a very different and very beautiful color, like grayish blue type. So now we will be doing the grass part, which is there. So taking my fan brush and dry an brush and just taking on the tip the yellow color and applying it first on the top. So as we will move down, it will be more greenish. So just taking a mix of green and yellow and adding this greenish color to this middle part. And just green, I will be adding to the lower part. So this is how we have to make the grasses. And as I am going down, I'm making the lines a little bit bigger. Now, this brush is completely dry, so try not to wet this brush, otherwise, this effect will not come up. So always use dry brush whenever you are creating textures. So just adding some nice lines. So these are the grasses which we will be doing it with fan brush. Then comes the bigger grasses and some sky which we will be adding on the top. So just taking my rigor brush and mixing black and green together and making and yellow also and making some nice long grasses. So whenever you are making grasses, make your color a little fluid, then only your brush will make some nice thin lines. Try not to use very thick color, use milky color, and just move your brush in the upward direction and try to create some thin grasses in different different directions. I have added white to this color so that the color becomes more opaque and more visible. Very simple yet beautiful painting it is with a combination of the cool colors. Very relaxing painting, it is. So just adding some nice long grasses. Also, I will add some small grasses on the top. So the more and more you will practice such type of paintings, the more you will get command on your brush and the brush strokes. So that's why I have made these classes for you guys, so that you can practice it and you can do it every day. So if you have done this 30 days course, I'm sure you will be able to paint any landscape. So just adding some smaller, some bigger grasses. So now taking this yellow and adding some more lighter colour grasses. So this is it with the grasses. Now we will add some mount sorry, not mountains, the clouds which are left on the top. Also, first, I will add a little bit of more textures on the top, just to make that yellowish part more vibrant. So this is actually a field which has lots of yellow flowers and grasses which are there. So now we will add the lines of the mountains, very thin colour, try to make it very thin colour, like bluish, dark bluish color, and try to draw a very thin line as thin as possible. Make your color fluid and then try to draw the lines. And now we will add the clouds with my flat brush. Again, here also, I will use dry brush and just smudging it with the edge. Very easy way of creating some nice fine clouds, smudge it, and you'll be able to create some nice clouds. Every time whenever you are creating clouds, use dry brush, not wet brush. It is not damp brush, it is completely dry brush. So very beautiful effect it creates when you are creating in such a way. So now, once we are done with the clouds, I'm not adding too much of clouds. Just in the lower part, I will add the clouds, not above. After that, this painting is done, and we will just write the coats and this painting is done. So I hope you enjoyed doing this painting like I did because I really liked the whole outcome. So here the coats stay strong, like the grasses, stay strong. So if you're trying out this painting, do tag me on Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare your work on my story. And let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So this is it, so we will meet in our next class. 35. Be A Giver Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting that is B a giver. So this is the painting which we will be doing. So let's talk about the colors first. So the first color which we will be using is Sirium blue. So the top part is serum blue. Then comes the light bluish color. Then comes the pinkish color which is in the between, that is with Alazarin crimson and white mix. So this will generate a nice pinkish color. Then comes the cadmium yellow, and then the lemon yellow. So all these colors we will be using for the background painting. So this is all which we will be using for the background painting. Lastly, the orange color. Then comes the part which is in the side portion, the side portion. So we will mix with blue that is ilium blue, white, and a little bit of lazarin mix. And this is the color which we will get a little bit of more white to it to make it a more lighter color. So this color we will be using for the mountain. So let's, do this painting, and let's start with it. These are the colors, white, black, serlem blue, alzarin crimson, orange, and cadmium yellow. So I've just stuck my paper with masking tape. So I will create a line which is one third of the paper, and I put the paper in the landscape shape. It is not like a portrait shape. On both the sides, there are mountain which are landing in the center part. Similarly, I will be drawing the reflection of the mountain below. So that's it this much is the drawing and then we'll start with the colors. So I've taken fresh colors as you can see over here. So first, we will start with the serleum blue, and with a thick amount of color on my brush, my brush is already loaded with water. So I've just taken a thick amount of serleium blue, and I'm starting from the top. A little more of serelium blue. Try to take thick colors so that when you blend the colors, the color will not dry very fast. So I've just taken white since blue is there on my brush so I've just taken white, and I'm trying to blend this with the darker blue. Now, washing off my brush and taking this Alizarin and white mix to make it a nice pinkish color. So just adding in the center and blending it with white color. So making it more light just by adding white and trying to blending it with the bluish color. So just taking a little bit more of blue on my brush and trying to blend this color with the pinkish color. Then comes just applying again a little more blue, just to make the blend look more blended and neat. Then I will take the cadmium yellow, applying below just the cadmium yellow, and we blend this cadmium yellow with this pink color, then the orange color below. So for blending, you can use the smaller size brush, or you can use the same size brush for blending. Even if some colors go inside the mountain part, doesn't matter. When we'll apply another layer of color, it will be gone. So just we have covered this entire portion. Now I've just switched to a smaller brush, and I'm just covering this part with more of this orange. Thick amount of orange, and then again, I will take the cadmium yellow and a little bit of white to make this color a little opaque and blending this color with orange. So just blending it with the yellow color. So now we'll start with the white part, that is the pinkish part which is there, which I will blend with this yellow. So this is how we have to blend one by one, each part. Blending will only happen if both the colors are wet. Now we will start with the lower part, which we will again blend with the similar color which we have used above. Since water is the reflection of sky, so first, we'll start with orange. So first orange color. Then blending it with yellow. And as we will move down, it will be more of pinkish and then bluish. So same color I'm using what I have used above. And now taking Sirium blue and just blending it with this pinkish color. So you can see how this color has just taking a little bit more of white and trying to blend with this warm color. 36. Be A Giver Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we will be doing the mountains which are there. So taking this blue white and a little bit of pinkish color which is below. So I'm just mixing all the colors together and just covering the above portion first. So using my round brush, I'm just trying to cover it the above portion. It is more like a purplish, bluish texture which I have made over here. So both the mountains, the reflection as well as the above mountain, I'm just covering it with this color. So try to use thick color so that in one go, you are able to cover the entire part. Now here, you can also use flat brush for covering it. But since the curves are there, so I thought of using the round brush instead of using the flat brush. So one side we have already done. Now we will do the other side of the mountain. So using the same color, I'm just covering the other side. So here in this painting, you can see we are using a mix of both warm and cool colors. So how we use warm and cool colors together here we can see so you can see the sky has both the colors, the warm colors, as well as the cool colors. This happens mostly at the time of sunset or sunrise when that orange color comes up. So whenever we mix the colors, there will be a little bit of variations in the colors. So here you can see a little bit of variations are there. So it's perfect, it's okay. It's perfectly fine if there are a little bit of variations. Don't worry about that. Once we will do the textures in the water, that will be gone, but a little bit of difference is fine, but try not to make too much difference. So we have done the mountains, we have done the background. Now we'll start with the details. So just taking my rigor brush and black color, making it a little fluid. I'll just make little bit of blue also I've just added to this black and just adding the center line first. So whenever you are drawing the lines, try to make it fluid, then draw the lines. Now we will start doing the little bit of details. So I've just removed excess color from my brush, and with the side of my brush, I will be using thick colours and creating some nice dry textures. All these textures you can also add with your round brush also. Try to use less water on your brush and dry colors, then only these textures will come up. Don't take too much color on your brush. Otherwise, there will be thick patches. So try to take your brush and remove excess of color and then try it out. You can try first on a rough paper and then try it on your painting. So you can see I'm just using the sides of my brush. I'm not using the tip of my brush. Now, here I'm just creating some details by using the tip of my brush, but I'm creating these textures using the sides of my brush. Very simple and easy way of creating the mountain textures. Now taking my flat brush, I'll just mix some of the bluish color and just create some lines, which will show that there are some water ripples which are there because every shadow is not perfect. They have some lines and textures which are there. That's what I'm trying to create here also. Taking that black and bluish mix and again creating some lines. Moving the brush in to and fro direction. Less water is there on my brush. My brush is almost damp brush and very little little color I'm taking, and I'm trying to create this pattern. Moving the brush in the to and fro direction. I'm not pressing the brush. I'm just using the tip of my brush. So you can see how beautiful the reflection has come up when you use your flat brush and just the tip of your brush. So flat brush is not only used for the blocking, but also creating such beautiful textures. Now I'm just taking orange and adding a little bit in the center part. Again, taking the blue color and adding below. So now, again, taking my rigor brush, taking blue and black mix, and just creating some nice thin lines of the mountains. Oh try to make your color thin and then try to draw the lines. Very thin color and very thin lines. Just use the tip of your brush to draw the lines. So we are mostly done with this painting in the center. I will add one sun and that's it. First, I'm adding this cadmium yellow with a nice circle and then the thick white color in the center. I will also add the reflection of the sun below. Again, taking cadmium yellow and just applying it to the sides of this white color and then taking again, the white color and adding some reflections below. So this is it. Our painting is complete and just we'll write the coat and take out the masking tape, and we are done with it. Very beautiful and vibrant painting, it is. Do try it out. The most satisfying part is removing the tape. So this is the whole painting and we'll just write the coat and this is done. You can skip the coat if you don't want you want just the painting. You can keep it like that. So with my black gelpin, I'll just write the coat, be a giver, and that's it. So this is the entire painting we will meet in our next class. 37. Keep Moving Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting that is keep moving. So this is the painting which we will be doing mostly of warm colors. So the first color is yellow ochre, then cadmium yellow, then lemon yellow, and a little bit of white. So these are all colors we will be using for the background and also the foreground. And rest of the details we will be doing with black and white. So these are colors we will be using. Then for the detailing, something like this type of color which we will be making, and then some lighter colors we will be using. So let's start with this beautiful painting. So here not much drawing is there, just the center line, and rest of the things we will be doing with colors. So these are the colors, black, lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, yellow ochre, and white. So let's start with our painting first. Here you can see the painting will be done in a half semicircle form. So like this, we will be doing this entire painting. So let's take our flat brush. The first color is yellow ochre, which I will be using. And you can see I'm painting it like a half circle. Till the end, I'm just making it like a half circle. Then I will be using the cadmium yellow, and I will blend this with yellow ochre. All these are similar colors, so blending will be easy for all these colors. So just blending this color with yellow ochre. Then comes the lemon yellow. So try to do till the end. Then comes a little bit more of this cadmium yellow, and then the lemon yellow. So just mixing and blending this lemon yellow with this cadmium yellow. And as we will go down, it will become more yellowish, whitish yellow. So this is how we have to paint the background, that is the sky. And now we will be doing the lower portion. So this is how we have to blend the colors. For this sky, you can see how beautiful that blend has come up. So now let's do the below part with our first yellow ochre, putting the sides with yellow ochre. Similar colors I'm using yellow ochre, then the cadmium yellow, then lemon yellow, and I will be blending the colors. Now camium yellow, which I'm blending it with yellow ochre, and then the lemon yellow. So this is how the whole water part will be similar colors but in different pattern. Just drawing the centerline with yellow ochre and just blending the colors. So you can see how beautiful the color has been blended, both the sky, as well as the lower part. So just taking one more coat of this color on the top. So always try to add at least two coats of it. Sometimes in one coat also, the finish comes up properly, but it's good to do two coats. So just adding some more of the same colour, similar color, and trying to blend the colors. So we're almost done with the background blocking. Now we will add the details after this. You can see how beautiful and vibrant this whole sky is looking when we add that lemon yellow. So now just the center line with the yellow ocher. 38. Keep Moving Part Two: Hello, friends. Welcome back. So let's start further. So now I have done the background and the foreground blocking. Now I will be creating the details with a mix of black, yellow ochre and white. So it will be more of yellow ocher, like a dark brownish color. And we'll start first with the textures, using the tip of my brush. Try not to hold too much of water on your brush, and just using the tip of your brush, I will create some textures first onto the sides and then in the center. So just adding the textures all over in random manner. Very easy way of creating the water textures. So do it one by one, use the tip of your brush. Don't press the brush. Do it with a very light pressure and try to do it very close to each other so that they are not so much of gap in between. And little bit of gap, you can keep it in the center, but at least to the sides, try to make it more dense. So just adding these textures all over. So you can see how this texture is looking when I have just filled it with this entire thing. So small, small textures. I'm just trying to add in the gaps which are there just to show that there are some blend of light and dark colors. And now in the center, there is a sun which is setting. So first, I will create the reflection, and then I will make the sun. So just using the tip of your brush and the white color, and I'm just adding in the center this white texture, thick white texture. Try not to add any water. Just use the tip of your brush and try to add these textures. Try to add more textures in the center and to the sides, little bit of yellowish texture. So this is it with the water part. So there is a small boat which is there in the water so that we will be creating. But first, we'll create the sun which is on the top. So first, I'm taking lemon yellow, and I'm just applying a nice half circle sort of base. And then on the inside part, I will be adding this nice white color sun half circle. So I'm not making full circle. So this is it, just the half circle. And then, again, taking this cadmium yellow and applying it around the border of this circle just to make it more vibrant and more popping out and just trying to blend and smudge this cadmium yellow to this lemon yellow. So this is it for the sun part. Now there is a small boat and also the one leaf which is coming from the top. So first, we will be doing the boat part, and then we will do the other part. But first, I'm just drawing the center line with my white color using flat brush. So just adding a nice thin line with my flat brush. Then again, taking the round brush and I will draw the boat which is there. Very small boat. I'm just trying to draw it directly by using the color, using the slanting lines and the horizontal lines and some curvy lines on the top. So try to draw very small size boat, not very big and just a little bit of reflection of black below. So this is it for the boat part. So now we will add the leaves which are there. So for the leaves also, we will be adding using black color only. So again, my middle part has dried. I will just add more white to this center, uh sun part. And I'll just try to smudge that white into this yellowish color. I don't want a very sharp line to be there. So my white was still wet, so I could easily smudge that color. So now I'm drawing the leaf, which is coming from the top. You can draw one leaf also. You can draw multiple leaves also. That is totally up to you. So one line. And then this line, just one line I have drawn, and then the small small lines on both the sides. Make sure that your color is fluid when you are drawing the lines. And try to draw big, big lines, not small lines. So you can add one leaf also. You can add multiple leaves also. That is totally up to you how you want to arrange your painting. You can add some birds, also. Anything you can do it. So we are in the last part of the painting, and we are almost done with this painting. And if you're liking this whole series, and if you're trying any of these project, so do tag me and share on my Instagram that is Mohini Art Gallery. I would love to reshare your artwork in my story section. So this is it for the leaves. And now I will just remove the tape, and we'll write the coat and this painting is done. So let's remove the tape now. Just adding a few more leaves, especially to the tip of this leaf. So let's take out the tape now and see how it looks. So you can see when the tape comes out, it looks something different, something very beautiful. That's why that poder is very important. So every time I do my painting, I definitely use these masking tapes. So now I will just write the coat. You can write the coat with black color also. You can write the coat with white color also. So I will write in this water part with white color. So just taking my white gelpin and writing the coat. So this is it with the painting, and we will meet in the next class. 39. Giver Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting. So this name I have given a giver, like the tree gives us so much. So like that, also, we should be a giver. So first color is serum blue, which we will be using as a background. Then comes for the blocking of the foreground. This is burn Sienna with a mix of little bit of black. Then comes the grasses which are there, the yellow ochre and burn sienna mix. Then comes the cadmium yellow and little bit of naples yellow mix. Then again, naples yellow, and light color of naples yellow. So also we will be using the lemon yellow, in this case, for creating the tree textures and so nice greenish colors. So all these colors we will be using for our paintings. So lots of warm colors here we are using. So let's start with this beautiful painting. So firstly, I have just taken my paper in a landscape shape. So these are the colors which we will be using. So, um, all these colors here I have just taken out. So let's start first with the drawing from the center point, and I'm just creating, like, a mountain shape foreground, and rest we will be doing just by colors. So first, let's paint the background, and then we'll start with the detailing. So I'm just taking my flat brush loaded with water and just painting the background with just one color. That is serleium blue. So just covering the entire portion with this serleium blue. So try to give a nice at to it. So on coating is done, we'll wait for the first coat to dry and then we'll add one more coat to this. So that little bit of brush marks which are there gets removed. Then we'll start with the base, which is the foreground using burn sienna and black mix. A little darker color we want. So just I'm using a very dark color of brownish color, as you can see. First, I'm creating the edges, and then I will fill the entire portion with the same brush. It's okay if there are brush marks or something. We have to create detail, so we need a little bit of textures also. So that is perfectly fine. So you can see I'm just blocking it completely with this dark color. So now we will again add one more coat to the background. So my background has almost dried, so now we can add one more coat to this background, and then we'll start with the grass detailing. So I've just taken a little bit more of color, and I'm just adding a thick layer of this blue color. So it should be like a perfect finish of the background very smooth. And then we will start creating the details of the grasses. So first, we'll start with the darker color and then more lighter, more lighter and more lighter. So like this, we will be moving our textures using our fan brush. So let's take our fan brush, again, a dry brush or a damp brush you can take. I've just mixed this brown and this yellow ocher together and just creating some nice details. So just using the tip of my brush and creating these textures. As I'm going down, I'm dragging this a little bit more, adding more of this yellow ochre and just creating more textures on top of it, little bit of cadmium yellow and naples yellow, also, I will add to make the color a little bit more lighter. So just repeating the same process and covering this area with the second layer of color. So the more and more layers you will add, the more realistic your grass will look. And as I will go down, I will make the layers a little bit more longer. So now I will use much lighter color that is more of naples yellow and a little bit of cadmium yellow mix and a little bit of lemon yellow also. So again, I'll start adding more and more textures across it, leaving some of the darker areas also. So just taking again my colors and little bit of white also in this, adding the colors and trying to create some nice textures. So this is how we create the grass details, adding layers of textures on top of it, leaving some of the dark portions also in between. So, the more and more you will add these textures, the more realistic your grasses will look. So you can see how beautiful these grasses are looking when I've added so many textures. 40. Giver Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we will start creating the tree part which is there. So using my black and little bit of lemon yellow mix, I'm using my filbert brush and completely damp brush and just creating some nice half circle. Very simple way of creating some nice tree textures, creating some nice, half circle shape. After that, I will be using green color with a mix of blue and this lemon yellow, and again, I will add some more textures on this. Again, some more lighter textures by adding just a little bit of naples yellow and a little bit of white adding little bit of textures of lighter color just on the top, just to show that there are so many varieties of greens are there. Very simple and easy way of creating this beautiful tree which is loaded with leaves. Now we will create the branches and the tree trunk using my liner brush, taking white and black mix and a little bit of burnt sienna. And I'll start creating some nice tree textures. So it is a grayish, brownish color which I'm trying to make over here, and then I'll create some nice tree trunk. So thick tree part with little bit of branches going here and there. Just adding some branches. Just adding some lines of darker lines in between, making these branches look a little bit more darker so that they are visible. Giving a little shape to this, adding some more darker textures and branches and smaller branches and some textures in the main tree trunk. Little bit of branches in between the trees. So that's it for the tree detailing. I will not be making it more detailed. So just a little bit of tree detailing and a little bit more longer grasses, also, I will try to create a little bit of tree textures on top of it just to show that there are some tiny leaves which are coming out. Taking the lighter colour with a mix of blue and yellow and creating some more greenish texture on the top. Now taking the thin color of lighter yellowish color and trying to draw some longer grass lines at the bottom. Just adding some nice, longer grasses at the bottom by mixing all these warm colors. As I'm going above, I'm making it smaller and smaller. So here, my main focus is the longer grasses and very yellowish grasses which I have created over here. So lots of detailing of the grasses and the trees is the main focus here. So lots of yellow grasses with a mix of some darker grasses also I have made, some black and brownish grasses also I added in the between so that it looks more natural. So this is the painting which is almost done. We'll just write the coat and then it is done. I'll write the coat in this grass part only because I won't want to do it in the blue part. Let's just take out the tape till the time it will dry out, and then we can write the coat with our white gelpin. This is it for the painting, we'll just write the coats and we are done with it. Adding some more tree textures on the top, that lighter textures. Mm. So this is it. Let's write the coat and then we are done with this. Using my white gelpin, I'm just writing the coat. This is the complete painting and we will meet in the next class. 41. Admire Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome back. Let's start with a new painting that is Admire. So this is the painting which we will be doing with the grayish, yellowish color background. Black, pains gray, naples yellow, and white. These are all colors we will be using. So I'm just taking Pains gray and white mix. If you don't have Pains gray, you can use white and black and little bit of blue you can add. So this is the color background which we will be using as it goes down, it becomes light. Then comes the naples yellow and a little bit of white mix, and then doing the background with this. And as I'm going down, it is more of the naples yellow. So this is the background which we will be using and rest of the things we will just be doing with black and naples yellow mixed color. Sorry, black and pains gray mixed color. So let's start with a painting. So these are the colors which we have taken Black, pains gray, naps yellow and white. So let's start with first a little bit of sketch. Not much of the sketch is needed. Just the foreground, and that's it. Rest we will be directly doing with colors. So first, we'll paint the background with my flat brush. It's loaded with water, taking white and a little bit of pains gray mix because I want very light grayish color, not very dark. So if you don't have paints gray, you can obviously use black and white color. That will also work. So just adding the paints gray on the top first. And as I will go down, I will lighten the color more. So as I will go down, I will make the color a little lighter than the top color, and then I will blend this color with the naples yellow and white mix. So just blending the color. And then the third color which I will be using is naples yellow and white mix. So first, I'm doing naples yellow, and as I will go above, I will just mix that light gray and the light naples yellow together. So just taking white colour and naples yellow mix and trying to blend both the colors together. Now you can see my color has dried a little bit. So again, I'm taking the lighter color and just blending it with the lighter naples yellow. So this is how we have to blend the colors. So naples yellow and the paints gray or the grayish color will never turn your color into greenish color. So that is the benefit of using naples yellow. So just trying to blend it more the colors. If you're okay with one coat, you can leave it, but if you're not okay with one coat, you can definitely go ahead with the second coat. So I would suggest every time whenever you are doing background painting, try to do at least two codes of it. So now I'm applying the second coat in the background. Same colors and just mixing the color and applying it starting from the top. Little bit of color variations will obviously be there because whenever we mix any color, there is always a color difference. We cannot get exactly the same color which it was earlier. So don't worry about that. It's perfectly fine if the colors are a little bit up and down. It's just that we learn how to mix and blend the colors. Our focus is to do it every day and practice it every day. The more you will practice it, the more you blending and the color mixing and the detailing will be finer and finer. The main purpose of this whole class is just to make you practice it every day and make a routine. So now I have done with the background. Now I will do the foreground with simple black color using my round brush. Little bit of pains gray you can mix or you can directly use just black color. So first, adding the edges, and then I will fill the colors. Simple black color, thick black, and pains gray mix color to the below part. 42. Admire Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we will add some clouds on the top. So here I'm using my filbert brush and a little bit of grayish and yellowish mix and just adding some nice. So instead of using my Filbert brush, I will be using the flat brush, small size flat brush, which will be helpful for me to create some nice, small clouds. Using a damp brush, or a dry brush also you can use. Just take a little bit of color on your brush and just spread it in a horizontal manner. Just smudge the colors and spread it across. And very small small clouds, which are like horizontal clouds are these are there on these area. I will not make too many clouds, but small small clouds here and there, especially in the center part. So try to use dry brush for creating all these textures. And if your brush is making it very dry, then you can use a damp brush also for creating this. But try to use very less color, as you can see, I'm taking very less amount of color and just smudging the color in a horizontal manner. Adding some of the clouds in the yellowish part as well. So that's it with the clouds and let's start creating some trees and some grasses. So for creating the grasses, I will be using my fan brush, and again, a damp brush, taking black color and just creating some nice textures on the top first. And little bit of textures I will add on the bigger bigger grasses, which we can do it later. And first, I will draw the tree, which is the main tree which is in the center. Either you can mix both the colors or you can just use your black color to create a nice tree structure. So there's one big tree which is there. So first drawing the line, that is the center line and then creating some nice branches here. Just most of the branches are in the upward direction as you can see in the image. So small small branches first, and as I'm going down, I'm making these branches a little bigger in size. Just adding some branches, some bigger branches, some smaller branches with sub branches. So like this, I will just be adding the branches which are all in the upward direction. So this is also a type of pine tree which is found in the mountains. So just adding small, small grasses also and some textures on this area just to show that there are some small trees or some small bushy textures which are there across this whole foreground line. So whenever you are creating all these things, try to use a very thin color, make your color thin, and then create all these textures and tree lines. Try not to use thick color. So now with my Filbert brush, I will just take a mix of both the darker colors. And just on the tip of my brush, I'll just take the colors and I'll start creating some nice tree textures. So like a half circle kind of thing. On each and every branches, I will be creating these textures. Again, a dry brush method. Try not to use wet brush, use damp brush or dry brush for creating all these textures. Very easy and quick way of creating some beautiful tree textures with filbert brush and use smaller size filbert brush of size one or two. Adding some textures in the center as well. Now again, taking my rigor brush and creating some more branches here and there. So we are almost done with this painting, the birds are left and the coat is left, and then we are done with this painting. Very simple and easy to create these trees. So the more you will add the details, the more it will look realistic. So you can add a little bit of textures with your liner brush also on the top. These are some random textures dots, which I'm just creating on top of these. So these small birds I will be creating with my technical pen, but you can also create these small birds with your liner brush. But with technical pen, it is easy for you to create much smaller size birds. Now, I'll just write the coat and we are done with this painting. Do try it out and do tag me on my Instagram. I will love to reshare them on my Instagram story. That is Mohii Art Gallery. So this is it. I'll just remove the tape and let's see how it looks. So this is the complete painting. So let's meet in our next class. 43. Go On Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting that is go on. So this is the painting which we will be doing. So let's first talk about the colors. So first color is, you can see it is a grayish, which is pains gray and white makes a very light grayish color. If you don't have Pains gray, you can use black also. So very light grayish color it is. Then is the naples yellow, which is the second color with mix of white again. All pastel shaded colors are these. So just blending this with Pains gray. And as we will go down, it is mostly pinkish. So here I have used hot pink and mix of white. You can use any pink whichever pink you have available that pink you can use. If you don't have pink, you can use red also. And the last color is hallow blue with a mix of white. So very light shade colors are these like pastel shades. So this is how we have to do the background. So these are the colors which we will be using for our background painting. So the first color is naples yellow, white, hot pink, Tallow blue, and paints gray. So let's start with the painting. So first, here we don't have to draw anything. We'll directly do the background blocking. So a little bit of line you can just draw or simply you can draw with colors also. It's totally your choice. So first, we'll start mixing the colors that the colors here you can see. So the first color is naples yellow, white, hot pink, thalo blue, and pains gray. So all these colors we will be using for our background painting. So let's start first with Panes gray and a very little amount of Pains gray and lots of white because we want light grayish color. So we'll start from the top and so this is the painting, as you can see the reference. So first, with gray, then yellow, then pink, then blue. So like that, we will move the blending process. So now I'm taking naples yellow with a mix of white and trying to blend this with the paints gray color. Whenever you are doing blending, always push the lighter color towards the darker color. So here I am pushing yellow towards the grayish color. But still, you can see there is a line which we will fix when we'll do the second code. So just taking again the pink color and just trying to put it and blend with this naples yellow color. So very light pinkish color it is. And then comes the bluish color which we will apply next. So very little amount of blue and mix of this hot pink and white and just applying it in the horizon line to the horizon line and just filling this below part with the bluish color. So again, just blending it with the hot pink color so that there are no lines there. Now I will use the tallow blue with a mix of white and I'll cover the below part. So you can see even if you will not draw the lines, you can just cover the whole area and then you can go ahead with drawing the lines. Because here the horizon line which we have to make is a little blurry. I should not be very thick lines and visible lines. That's what here our main motive is. So once my background will dry, I will again apply the second coat. So again, mixing my color and just applying the second coat. Similar colors I'm using here and just blocking the entire background as well as the foreground. Try to blend the colors nicely this time so that it becomes a little more uniform. Just trying to blend the colors. And now I'm using a mix of pink and blue and white and just blending it with the pinkish color. Just taking my damp brush and trying to blend the colors. Again, I'm taking the cobalt blue, sorry, Tallow blue and just blending it with the lighter color. So this is it with the blending. 44. Go On Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have done the background details. Now I will add the line which we have made earlier. So just near to this purplish line, and then I'll start adding the details with the edge of my brush. So a little darker color than your base color, it should be not too much dark, just a little bit darker than your base, and I'm just using the edge of my brush, that is the flat brush and creating these details. So this will create a nice beautiful water ripples. This is a still water, so it will create a very nice ripple effect of the waters. So just the tip of your brush and you just have to tab it and create these textures. So as I will move down, I will make this color a little more darker. So just taking more of this blue and just adding it below. So this is how we have to add the textures of the water. Now I want the line which is in the center to be a little blurry, which I will be doing that. So I'll take again my flat brush and pink color with a mix of little bit of blue and just taking little brush and just applying here the brush movement since my color is a little wet, so this will easily be blended and it will become like a little bit smudgy like a foggy effect it will create. So just again, taking the darker color with a mix of this paints gray and blue and adding some more darker details in the bottom part. So just adding some darker details. So some nice dark details. As I'm going up, I'm taking more of blue because I want it to be more towards the bluish area as we are going above, and I'm making it a little more blurry, leaving some spaces and just having these textures less. So now here we will be creating a nice, small boat which is there, very small tiny boat which is there. There will be two boats which I will be creating. So wait for your background to dry and then we'll start adding that boat. So I will take my rigor brush, and we'll start creating some nice small boat over there, just taking white and this hot pink color. And first, I will create the base. Try to use the smallest brush which you have. You can also use your round brush for creating this very small size boat. It is very simple. Try not to add too much details in the boat part because these are very small boat and it's better not to add too much details. The other details we can add with our technical pen or with a much smaller brush than this. So one more boat I'll just add creating the base first and then the above flag on the top. So try to take milky color and your base should have dried. It should not be wet. Otherwise, that color will mix and make some different color. So now I will just wait for this to dry. Then I can add the textures into this with my technical pen. I've just taken my technical pen and I'm just creating the line which is there, the boat line. You can use your brush also for creating these things, but it is so small that it's better to use your technical pen than the brushes. So just creating the outline of the above cloth which is there and also doing the same for smaller the other one. Now, sometimes when you will be drawing, if it is wet, the colors might come onto your nib. So take care of that that when it dries, then only use this technical pen. You can see I've just added a little bit shadow below with black, and I've just outlined the area. Just making the vertical line and some nice outline to this smaller boat. So this is it we have to do for the board, nothing much. I'm not doing any detailing over here. I don't want to make it complicated. So just this painting is almost done. You can add birds also on the top if you want, or you can just leave it like this. And we will just write the coats and this is done. So just adding a little bit of white to give a little more proper shape to it. W so this is it. So let's write the coat and then we can take out the masking tape. So using my white gelpin, you have just written the coat. You can also draw these boards with your gelpin also if you're not comfortable with your brush. So this is it, and now we will meet in the next class. U 45. Empathy Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with another painting that is empathy. So let's start first with the colors. This is Pains gray, then mix of Pains gray and white mix. Then a little more lighter color which we will be making for the background. And as we will go down, it will become more lighter and lighter. Similarly, we will be using for the foreground also. So we will start with few drawings, just the foreground and rest we will be doing by the colors only. So just two half circles, just the foreground. That's it. And we'll start with the colors. So let's start first with the color. That is the background color, Pains gray, white and black. So first, I will do the background. That is Pains gray. If you don't have Pains gray, you can use black and white, black and white, or a little bit of blue also you can add if you want. So any color you can use in this painting. So just making it a light grayish color. Water is only there on my brush. That's it. Colors are thick so that when you add thick colors, the colors will not dry very fast. So just adding the thick coat of colors. First, the darker, and as we will go down and down, the colors will become more lighter. And the lighter color I'm just trying to blend with the darker color. Again, taking more lighter color and trying to blend this color with the second lighter color which is there, which we have used, the mid color which we have used, and again, just taking white and applying to the layer which is the foreground. So we will be adding two layers of color. So one layer is done, and now we will do the lower part. Here, also, we'll start from dark and go towards the lighter color, each and every part of this half circle which is there. So just taking my smaller size brush and just mixing again this paints gray and white mix. Try to keep the color with lighter grayish, not very dark grayish color because this is the painting of the snow. So try to make it a little lighter like black and white snow, you can say. So try to make the colors a little lighter, not very dark when you are making the snow part. So just first the dark gray, then the lighter one. And as I will go down, it'll become more lighter and lighter. So similarly, I will be doing other side also of the mountain. This is actually not a mountain. It is a valley kind of thing, which is there. Similarly, I will do the other side also. So we have blended the background. We have blended the foreground. So we have used in both the sections the blending technique as you can see. Just adding some more darker layers on the top, because I feel that the lighter ones are more and darker ones are less So once we are done with the lower part, just adding a little bit more blend to the colors. So now we will be adding, again, the second coat to it using a bigger flat brush. So similar colors, little bit of variations will be there, but it doesn't matter. So whenever we mix any color, little bit of variations will always be there. So don't worry about that. It is perfectly fine. So just mixing lighter and lighter, and as we will go down, it will become more lighter. You can see in the second coat the finish of the background, it will be more accurate and more clean. So once we are done with the background part, then we'll start with the tree detailing. 46. Empathy Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we have done the background. We have done the foreground. Now comes the part of the tree line. So I'm just taking this color, which is paints gray and a little mix of white. And first, I will draw the line of this foreground. So I'm not using black over here. You can use here darker gray if you want if you don't have paints gray. Now I will add some lines of the backside of the tree, which I will be using with this color only, the lighter grayish color. So this grayish tree will appear as if these are the behind trees which are very far and very blurry. So this will give a nice blurry effect to the trees. Adding some pine trees with some random textures, just moving with my rigor brush. As you can see, just random textures are these. There are no shapes. But as I will go down, I will increase the sizes, just giving a nice tree texture to it. So as you can see, I have added three, four lines. So 34 trees I will be adding in a bunch so that it will look like they are all trees which are in the backside of the areas and making it a very light in color. So these are some random textures which I'm applying just dots and lines and giving it a shape in a downward direction. Similarly, I will be doing for the rest of the tree lines. So just enjoy the process and try to draw the trees one by one. Even if one tree is touching each other, it's perfectly fine. Don't worry about that. So whenever we do such type of repetitive painting, sometimes we get bored and we do it very fast. But this is a time when you can make your painting look good and you can make your painting ruin your painting. So do it very slowly, carefully, have patience, and try to do it one by one. So we already done with three and one more we will do. Now, once we have done the backside of the trees, now we will add the front. I'm just adding a little black to this paints gray, and the front tree will be more darker than the back tree. And I will try to make the front tree a little shorter than the back tree so that the back trees are also visible. Four to five lines I have just created. And same process I will repeat which I have done for the B tree. So just adding some shapes of the leaves. These are just random shapes which will create some realistic type of tree. So one by one, I'm adding the trees. So there are five trees, so slowly, slowly, we'll be moving to the trees one by one. Like, I have done two layers. You can create three layers also, first lighter, then a little bit darker, then more darker. So three layers also you can add to the trees to give a more denser look to the tree part. Anything you can do it, it's just your painting, your creativity, how you arrange the trees. Oh now, once I have done the tree part, now I will create the reflections. For the reflection, I will make a little grayish color. And with my smaller size flatbush, I will just create a nice section. It's like a V kind of shape which is there. So some rays which are falling from behind and giving a nice shadow to this plane area. So this is it. Now we will add some nice snow which is falling. So we will use splittering technique that will we'll sprinkle some colors on top of it. I will not use totally white color. I'm just mixing it and making it very fluid, the colors and making it very light color. And I will apply it on top of this. Just sprinkle it everywhere. Now, my color is little thick, so it is not sprinkling. I'll just make it a little more fluid so that it will sprinkle more. So just taking a little bit more of white and just sprinkling it everywhere. You can also do this sprinkling technique with your fan brush, and it gives a very nice effect to it. That also I will show you. So once we are done with the sprinkling, I will just remove the tape and we'll see how it looks. So I feel that there are less sprinkles, so I will add a little more sprinkle to it. Even if I have removed the tape, I will use white colour to sprinkle it all over. So white colour will not be visible on the borderline. So you can use white colour and use your fan brush. Just wet your fan brush, take liquid colour, and just spray it everywhere. Now you can see how nicely it is getting sprinkled when we use fan brush. So this is it. Once it will dry, you'll just write the ate and this is done. So do try it out and share your work. I would love to see it and share it on my Instagram that is Mohini Art Gallery. So this is it. See you in the next class. 47. Compassion Part One: Come back. So let's start with a new painting that is compassion. So this is the painting which we will be doing here. So let's talk about the colors first. So the first color is Alazarin crimson with a mix of black and white, so something like this grayish, rusty tone it will come, and then comes the lighter color where I have added more white to it. And this is how we will blend the colors. As we go down, we'll start adding more white, and the rest of things are with mostly this naples yellow and mountains with black color. So let's start with the painting. So these are the colors which we will be using. So let's first draw a little bit, and then we'll start with the coloring part. So just the mountain I'm drawing and rest we will directly do by adding the colors. So this is the mountain, which is there, just one mountain I'm just drawing. And above these other colors that is Alazarin crimson, black, white, and naples yellow. So first, I will mix the color and make some nice color which is like a purplish, grayish texture. It is not purple, also, it's a kind of different kind of grayish or reddish color which is there. So mixing lots of white, very little amount of red, and very little amount of black also, I will add to this. So something like this type of color will be created. So the first color will be a little darker, and as we will go down, the colors will become more lighter and lighter. So again, taking white on a separate block and taking a little bit more of red this time and then mixing it with black because I want the colors this color to be little darker than the second color. So this is the image which we will be painting, so you can see how dark the color is. So I will just apply starting from the top, moving the brush in half circles. And as I will go down, I will be applying more white to it, more lighter color to it. So just blending it with the lighter color, washing off my brush again. And again, I will take the lighter color, and I'll try to blend with the above color. Again, taking a little bit more white to it and applying it to the line which is there, which is the mountain horizon line which is there and will blend with the darker color. So this is how we have to do the background blocking. Then comes the mountains which are there. Yeah. So the mountain part is nothing just simple mountain which I will be painting it mostly with the darker color. So just taking, again, the round brush here, and I will be blocking this whole mountain. So taking my round brush and just mixing a little bit of black into this and just first covering this top area which is there. Or instead of covering this, I'll just cover this entire thing with the darker color first. And just block in this entire thing with thick black color. Try to use thick color so that in one go, it is done. So this is whole of the background blocking. Now we'll start with the detailing little bit. H. 48. Compassion Part Two: Welcome back. Let's start further. Now we have done just one coat of the background. Now we will be doing the second coat so that it becomes a little more uniform and more neat. I'm just taking the same color again and I'm just putting the colors first, a little bit of the colors. This time you can take a little thin color if you have done just one coat. Second color, you can take a little bit thin. Again, I'm just trying to blend the colors. And as I will go down, I will make the colors a little bit more lighter. Again, I'm mixing a little bit more of this darker color because my darker color has finished. Now, this time when I'm mixing the colors, little bit of color difference will always be there when you are mixing it as you can see. Little bit will be there, but don't worry about that. When we will blend the colors, little bit up and down is totally fine. So just adding the colors and blending it with the lighter color. Just blending the colors everywhere. So now we will be taking, again, the darker color a little bit I will push this color down because I want the colors to be a little bit more darker below. So I've just pulled that darker color a little bit down. And just with my damp brush, I'm just blending the colors. So now, we'll start doing the detailing of the mountains, and there is a moon which is in the center, and there are lots of birds which are flying. So it's like that. So let's first, start with the mountain details. So here I'm using my rigor brush and taking white first, mixing it with a little bit of black and just first making a little shape above, making it a little pointed and giving it a nice shape. Then again, taking a lighter color, and I'm just covering this above part with this whole part which is there. And taking this black and giving a little more shape on the top, because the above shape should be pointed, then only it will look nice and neat. And I'm just giving the lines little bit shapes below also with the lighter color and the darker color mix, just giving a little shape to the above part that there's certain eyes which is there on the top and rest are this black taking some white also and just adding some textures with my dry brush or damp brush. So this is it for the mountains, and a little bit shape, I'll give to this side also of the mountain. Try to take less less color and dry brush. Don't use very wet brush. Damp brush will also work. Try to use, like, a damp brush. So just adding some shapes and details, and then we are done with it. The mountain part, and now we'll start creating the center moon which is there. So my background has totally dried. Now I will start making the moon. I'm just making the color a little thin and just making a circle in the center for big circle and just applying the colors and also trying to blend the edges, smudge the edges a little bit. I don't want the edges to be very sharp So just pushing this color outward, just making the edge a little more softer and softer, like a glazing effect. Also with your damp brush, you can apply this shape, and slowly it will merge with the background. So this is it. Again, I will take a little thicker version of this naples yellow and apply it in the center. So this is how we have to make the moon slowly, slowly and just adding little yellowish in this part also so that some rays are falling on top of it. Then I will apply in the center that is the totally white color which is there. With a mix of little bit of naples yellow, I will add a thick color which I will add in the center. Also adding some grayish textures here. Try to add thick colors in the center. Then only it will look bright and beautiful. So grayish textures also I will add, but just I'm making the edges a little bit more smudging type, like, more neat and more round. And more little blurry type. Again, taking more white and just applying it on this whole part. Taking some grayish color and applying to the middle area because moon is never very white and yellowish. So just making the edge more softer Again, taking my round brush and this naples yellow and making again a little circle around this moon. Then only that bright glowing moon will come up. So now after doing this, we'll add the birds which are there all around. There are lots of birds which are going home, you can say when it is a nighttime when it starts turning into night, so all are going to their nest. So I'll make lots of birds around this sun. Now, for making their birds, I will be using my technical pen. You can use your technical pen also. You can use your brush also for creating. So in different different directions, I'll create small small birds, which are flying. Now, since my background has not dried the center part, I will first leave the center part and wait for it to dry. I'm just adding some birds all around this moon. So you can see that I have added so many birds here and there. Now to the center part, I will apply, um the birds which are there. But first, I'll wait for that to dry and I'll just write the coat that is compassion. A So this is it and a little bit of birds in the center, I will use my round brush till it is wet, but I will use my round brush to create some small birds. But when you are creating with technical pen, wait for the center part to dry because the thick colour takes time to dry. So that's why do it later once the background dries. So just adding some nice small birds which are flying over the sun moon. So this is it. We are done with this painting, and if you are trying it out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it on my story. And it's a very beautiful painting with some beautiful color. Do try it out. And let's remove the tape and see how it looks. So try to remove the tape at an angle. So this is it, and we will meet in the next class. 49. Bloom Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting that is bloom. So the main color here is violet and hot pink, which we will be using for the background. So let's see what colors we need. So violet with a mix of white. So I want a very light color white. And as we will go down, we will add more white to it, so lighter color, and then we will mix it with the hot pink and white mix. So if you don't have hot pink, you can use your Alazarin crimson and mix white to it. That color also you can use for your pink color. So this is the background color which we will be using. Then comes the grasses. The grasses I'm using here, lemon green and black mix. So mostly darker color, and on top of that, we will be making some nice flowers. So let's start with the painting of this beautiful scenery. So white, violet, pink, green and black. So let's start. I will be just drawing the below line. That's it. And rest we will be doing directly by using our brushes. So just a curvy line at the bottom. So this is it for the drawing, and I'm kept my paper in the landscape shape. These are the colors, white, violet, hot pink, lemon green, and black. So let's start first with the background blocking. So I'm using, again, my flat brush, which is loaded with water, mixing this violet and white mix, and I will start from the top, starting from a little darker violet color. And as I will go down, it will be more of a lighter violet color. So this is how we have to do the movement of the brushes from dark to light. And then as we will go to further more lighter color, so there will be the last portion where I will be adding that hot pink color with a mix of white. You can always do two coats of it, but first, I'm just focusing on the blocking of the colors. So just taking hot pink and white mix and applying it below. And blending it with the lighter violet color. So this violet is very beautiful violet from Windsor and Newton. It is a Windsor violet which I'm using here. So one coat we have done. Now we will do the second coat. My first coat has completely dried. Now, same coat I will be adding again. Now, this time you can fix the colors. If you feel the colors are very light, you can make it a little dark and you can change the colors accordingly from lighter to darker version. So you can see I'm just filling the colors, thick colors, and I'm also blending the colors. So same colors we will be using and then hot pink with a white mix. So try to do the blending with very gentle hand. Adding more hot pink below and blending it with the purplish color. Now we will do the lower part, mixing green and black together to make a dark color. You can directly use sap green also if you want. But if you don't have sap green, try to mix green and black and then use it to make it a dark greenish color. So you can see how dark my green is. It's very dark greenish color. So just blocking this in a vertical direction, it's okay if there are brush marks that is perfectly fine. So we will be adding textures on top of it, so these brush marks will be gone. So this is it with the background and the foreground blocking. 50. Bloom Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we will start making the grasses using my lemon green color, which is here. In this lemon green, I will just mix a little bit of black, and it is a completely dry fan brush which I'm using. And with the tip of the brush, I'll start creating the textures, filling it in the random manner. So just dry brush and I'm adding these textures. There is no pattern. I'm just trying to fill each and every area just with the tip of my brush. So whenever you are creating these grassy textures, try to make sure that your brush is dry and use very less less color. And don't press your brush, use the tip of your brush. So this is how we have to add the textures of the grasses. Now I will add a little bit of this purplish lavender color or textures to these grasses just to show that there are small, small flowers which are very far away. Leaving some green areas, I'm just adding these textures. Now, as we will go down, the size of the flowers will increase. So now as we are going down, we will add little more bigger size flowers. So using my round brush, I will just mix a little bit of first green and just add wherever I want to create the flowers just the bud. So it's a green and white mix. Oh smaller on the top, bigger in the down part. So mixing white and violet mix a little bit of this hot pink. So very light color it is and just making small small flowers. Try to keep the color a little milky, not very fluid, not very thin. It should be a little thick color. And just adding small small flowers in this area. Using the tip of my brush and creating four to five strokes. So try to use a round brrush which has a fine tip. Then only you will be able to create these flowers. And if you're not confident enough to draw directly on this paper, first try it on a rough sheet and then do it on this painting. So we have to exactly fill the entire portion with these flowers. So as we are going down, I will make a little bigger flowers than the one which are above So like this, we have to simply fill the entire thing with flowers. So you can see we have done the filling of the flowers everywhere. Now we will add some leaves. So for adding the leaves, again, I will be using same brush. But for drawing the lines, first, I will make the color a little more lighter than the background color which I have used and adding some lines like grasses. So some lines filling all this bottom part. Also with the same liner brush, I will add some leaves here and there. Whenever I feel space that is empty, I'm just adding these leaves here and there just to make it filled. It's a very beautiful and bright painting, and lots of flowers are there. That's why I have kept the name bloom. Now, let's add in the center the sun which is there. So I'll just take more of this hot pink, and first, I will add the center with just hot pink color. Just a small circle. And then on top of that, I will add thick white color. So this is how we have to make the entire painting. So this painting is almost done. You can add birds, also. You can add trees also. It's your painting, so you can arrange it according to your choice. But I will keep it simple so that people can understand and people can paint it. I won't make it very complicated. So just adding more white to this center part. So now let's take out the tape, and then we will write the coat. So you can see when you remove the tape, it looks more beautiful and bright. So now I will just write the coat with my white color only. So first, I thought of writing with black, but I don't want to ruin the background. I will just write it over here where the flour is. So there only, I will write with white gelpin. Make sure that your background has dried. So this is it. This is the complete painting. Do try it out and I would love to see your artwork and just overdo the line so that it is visible more. If you don't have elpin, you can write it with acrylic colors also. Or you can just leave the codes. It's your choice. So this is it. See you in the next class. 51. Be Positive Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting that is B positive. So this is the painting which we will be doing. So let's talk about the colors first. Now, this color which I have made here is with Windsor blue and white mix. So it's like a pastel shade color. Then Alzarin and white mix, again, another pastel shade color which we will blend together. So these two colors, apart from that, there's Windsor blue and black mix for the mountains, a little bit of white also to that. And a little bit more black we need because we want a dark bluish color. Then as we go down, it will become more darker and darker. So like that, we have to make the mountains. And apart from that, there's a yellow tin which is there, yellow glazing effect which I have put over there, and that's it for the complete painting. So let's start with this beautiful painting. So first, I will just draw a little mountains, and that's it for the drawing. And rest are the sky and the birds which are flying. So some mountains, there are three mountains which I will be drawing here. So one mountain overlapping other So that's it for the drawing and let's do the coloring part. So these are the colors which we will be using white, Alzarin crimson, black, Windsor blue, and cadmium yellow. So let's start first with the background painting, mixing this Windsor blue and white mix. If you don't have windsor blue, you can use any blue and add white to that. So you have to make a pastel shade blue. That means white should be more and the blue quantity should be less. So I've just mix a nice pastel shade blue and also pastel shade pinkish color which I will make. Very little amount of AlazarinGrimson I have taken, as you can see, and this is a light pinkish pastel color. So taking, again, my flat brush loaded with water, I will start from the top. So most of the area are bluish area, and very little part is the pinkish area, as you can see in the picture. So mostly I will cover this area with the bluish portion. So just taking thick amount of color and applying in the background. And now we will apply the pinkish color. So just taking the pink color and applying it below. So I will just wash off my brush again and then I'll start picking my pink color. And again, I will apply into this area and try to blend this color with the bluish color. So you can see very light color it is. So try to make it paste and then try the background. So just blending the colors with my brush. So now the one coat is done. I will be doing another coat on it so that a perfect blend of colors comes up. So again, I will be mixing a little bit more of this pastel colors because you should have enough quantity of pastel colors again and again, you cannot mix the colors because every time you will mix it every time a different version of blue will come up. So first coat I have done, second coat, again, I'm mixing it. So try to mix a little more amount so that the colors are not finished in between. So just applying one more coat and you can see how neatly that blend is coming when you're applying the second coat. So till more than half, very little amount I have left for the pinkish part and just taking pink without washing my brush and just applying it at the point where the pink and the blue will meet. Then again, I will wash off my brush and take this pinkish color, and I'll try to blend with this again, lighter color. So this is how we have to do the blending part. Now comes the mountains. Let's start first with the first mountain that is in the side. So for the side mountain, I will be using my round brush over here. I will not be using my flat brush because it is a round shape. So I'll just take blue and a little bit of this lighter blue mix with a little bit of black to get a nice pastel. It's not like pastel. It is more like a bluish color thing, adding a little bit of Azarin also to this, just to make it a little more purplish and bluish color. So something like this type of color will come, and I'll just apply it above. So try to take thick color so that in one go only, you are able to do a nice finish of this color. So I've just block in this whole area, and I will give a little bit of edges on the top, as well. So this is it for the first mountain. Oh 52. Be Positive Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we have done the first mountain. Now we'll start doing the second mountain. So I'm just adding more blue and Azarin to it and a little bit more white to it. And I'll just do the second mountain, which is there. So just first adding the thick layer of darker color. This color is a little darker than the one which I have used on the top. So here I have added less white to it. Now, as I will go down, I will make that color a little more lighter. So here also, we have to do some blending using the lighter color. So first, I'm just applying the half with a darker color, and other half I will be doing with lighter color. Also giving some textures on the top with this brush. So some textures just to show that there are some mountains or some grasses or some trees which are there on top. And the below part which is there, half of it, I will add with the lighter color. So I've just taken this lighter color which I used for the background, and I'm just applying this nice thick, lighter color. And then I will just blend these two colors together. Just washing off my brush, removing excess of water, and I will just try to blend these two colors together. Now, this time, I will be using my small size flat brush to blend this color because sometimes blending is much more easier with flat brush than the round brush. If the area is too small, it is very difficult to blend with flat brush, but if area is a little bit big, you can do this blending with flat brush. Now, the last part which is there, that I will make it more dark by just applying black to it and covering the below portion. Again, I'm adding some edges, and then I'm just covering this area with a darker color. It's not completely black, but it is somewhat more darker blue. Try to use thick colour to cover this up so that you cannot apply the second coat. If you're using thick color, you don't have to apply the second coat on these mountains. So I'll just applying some edges also just making it more neat and So the mountains are done. Now I will add here the sun which is there in the center. So first, I will apply this nice, that is the color which is cadmium yellow. I will make the color very thin. Like a glazing medium, I will use this color. So I'm just making the color very thin, mixing a little bit of Azarin also, not too much, but just applying it in the center. So when we apply this color, the background color is also visible and the upper color is also visible. This is called sometimes the glazing effect. So I'm just making the color a little bit more of the yellowish, like, light, yellowish color mixing white and just applying it on the top of the mountain. So try to take thin colour. Try not to take thick colour because we are applying here for the mountains and just taking, again, that pinkish color and just blending a little bit of the edges with this pink color. So in order to make it more interesting, I have just added this color. You can leave this section also if you don't want, and you can just keep blue and pink background. But if you can try this glazing medium, then try it out. This is called as a glazing effect where we see both the colours, the pillow color also and the front color also. So you can see how many times I'm repeating this process just to make that area look more glowing. So I'm just using, again, this color and making a circle. After that, in the center, I will apply a small, white and white circle. So just taking thick white color, mixing a little bit of yellow into it, and drawing a nice small circle in the center. Again, taking some pinkish color and just applying it to the sides. Just I'm avoiding the sharp lines. I don't want any sharp lines of yellow, so that's what I'm trying to blend with this pink color. Just making the edge look more neat. Now there are so many birds, as you can see on the top. So they are like a V section, the V shape it is, how they are flying. So like that only I will try to create some birds with my technical pen just in different different directions. You must have seen in sky sometimes that they are flying in, like, these positions. So that's what I'm trying to create over here, creating some points, and then I will draw the shapes in different different angles. I haven't complicated the bird shapes. It is very simple, like, how we write, how we used to draw in our childhood, the birds. Similarly, I'm drawing it here also. So this is almost done, and now we will just write the quotes and we are done with it. So if you are trying this painting, do share your project work and tag me on Instagram. That is Moheni Art Gallery. I will love to reshare them onto my story, and do try it out. It's a very beautiful pastel shade landscape painting, and I'm sure you will enjoy it, too. So just taking out the masking tape, So this is the complete painting, just writing the codes, and we are done with it. So see you in the next class. 53. Value Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting. So let's discuss about the colors first. So here, the first color which we will be using as a background is this red, cadmium red and white mix. We need to make a pastel shade color, so very light color, more of white and less of the color. The second color will be the lemon yellow and white mix. So two colors we will be using for the sky and also the water part. Then comes the violet color with a mix of white also to it. So this color we will be using for the mountains, and rest all are done with black color. So these are colors we will be using. So let's start with the painting. So first, we will be doing a little bit of sketching of the mountains, and then we'll start with the painting. So first, I'm just drawing the center line. This line is a little bit above the center. So maybe we can make it more center line and little straight. This is the center line which I have drawn. After that, I will be drawing the mountains. I'm rubbing the extra line which is there. Then comes the mountains. So two mountains I will be drawing and the similar mountain I will be drawing below. Just this much drawing and between, there are the tree line which is there. Similarly, below also. So this is a drawing, so these are the colors, white, red, lemon yellow, black, and the violet. So let's first take white and a little bit of red mix. You can use any red, whichever red you have. This is the cadmium red which I'm using here. But you can use any red, whichever red you have. So first outlining the base of the mountain, and then I will start filling the color. So you can see I've used a smaller size brush so that I can easily cover the area. Depending upon the size of the paper, you have to choose the brush. Now I will make a light yellowish color, and I'll just put the yellowish color above and blend it with this pinkish color. Try not to push too much of pinkish towards the yellow side. Otherwise, everything will turn into a orange color. So just blending the colors and then same thing we will be doing the lower part also just opposite to the sky because sky is always a reflection and a mirror image of the water. Water is actually the mirror image of the sky. I just said opposite. So yes, similar color, but in the opposite manner. So first, we will be using pink and then yellow. So first, at the bottom, I have started with yellow, and then I will use pink. A little bit more of the white mix. So very pastel color it should be. Then taking this pinkish color and putting it first to the edge of the mountains and then filling it and blending it with the yellow color. So this is it. So we have done the background and the foreground blocking. Now we'll start with the mountains. Just blending the color with a damp brush. No 54. Value Part Two: Welcome back. Let's start further. Now we will start doing the mountains. Just taking windsor violet and white mix and just making a color a little lighter and we'll start first from the top. First, I'm just outlining it. I'm just making a little darker this color. Outlining it first with my round brush. And as I will go down, I will lighten up the violet color. So just adding more white and then applying the lighter color below, and then I'll blend both the colors. So now we were doing in the background, now we are doing in the mountains, the blending part. So filling up the lighter color first, applying more lighter below, just adding white and trying to blend this with the darker color. So if your darker color has dried up, you can again apply it and then blend it with the lighter color. So this is how we have to do the blending. I'm just applying the darker color again. And slowly, I will push this color towards the lighter color. So once we are done with one mountain, similarly, we will be doing the other one as well. First outlining it with the darker color. So you can see water is only there on my brush. I haven't mixed any water in my colors. So just the raw color and water is there on my brush. That's it. Similarly, we will be doing the lower part, just first outlining it, and then filling up with the lighter color and then again, blending with the darker color. You can turn your page upside down and then you can do the filling. It's totally your choice and how comfortable you are handling in the opposite direction. It's a very simple and yet beautiful painting with lots of pastel color background, as you can see here. So I'm just trying to blend the colors with my brush. Now for blending, you can also use your flat brush. If you're not comfortable with your round brush, you can use your flat brush also for blending. Now in the center, I will be adding the black path where their small small trees are there. First I'm giving a little shape of the trees, just by moving the brush in vertical direction. And then I will fill the colors with black. Just making the center line, which is the middle horizon line. And just filling the entire thing with black color. Similarly, I will do the other side also just making some textures and then filling up it with black color. And just filling it up with an ice, milky black colour. So if there are certain white caps, just try to fill it up nicely with the black colour. Now, just taking my flat brush and white color, and I will just create the center horizon line which is there. Still, my black color is wet, so a little bit of colors will mixed with this white and it will create a nice grayish line. Just covering some parts which are left. So now I will create some lines, water lines again, my flat brush, making some lighter colors and just moving the brush in to and fro direction and giving some lines of the water. So my purple is still wet, so a little bit of mix of this purple is also there, as you can see. So just adding some lines in the lighter section also. So we are mostly done with the details, just the mountain shape. I will make it more accurate. So just taking my lineup brush and little thin white color and creating some lines in these black parts which are there. So very thin lines are these. Oh So now I will give a little shape to these upper mountains which are there, giving a little smooth finish to it. Outlining and shaping it properly. Again, taking the darker color and giving it a pointed shape and also smudging this darker color to this lighter section also. So bigger trees to the sides. So all these small details make your painting look more beautiful? So just the reflections as well. So this is it, and now we will write the coat. Just removing the tape at an angle, and then we'll write the coat and we are done with the painting. Very simple and easy. Try it out and do share your project works. Just writing it with my black technical pen, see you in the next class. Oh 55. Step Up Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with another painting. So this is a nice, beautiful painting with a mix of all cool colors, as you can see here. So first color which I will be using here is Windsor blue and white mix. So this will create a very nice, beautiful blue sky with little bits of clouds with white we will be adding. Then comes the mountains which we will be making with blue, black and white mix. So this is the mountain part, and then comes the whole the grass part, which is the foreground, mixing with the lemon yellow and white and a little bit of black mix for the first color. Then the second color which is there is with a mix of black and more white. That is the last color which you can see the last part. And then, again, another one, which is a mix of this white and more lemon color, which is the third last one. So all these colors we will be mixing and we will be making, so playing with colors, viridian green, and again, the lighter green mix, we will be creating another green. So there are so many greens which we will be using here, as you can see. So variety of greens we will be creating in this painting. So all these different different types of greens, which we will be learning step by step when we will be doing the painting. So let's start with the painting first. So let's start first with the drawing, and then we'll start with the painting. So first, I will draw the line which is in the center and then the mountains and then all the land area, which is there with different different parts that also we will draw. So first, I'm drawing the mountain. Very simple and very short mountains are these? They are not very bigger in size. And then comes the land area, which are divided into different different angles. So just drawing that and then we will start with the coloring part. So this is how the land goes. Now, these are the colors which we will be using black, winsor blue, viridian green, lemon green, lemon yellow, and white. So all these colors we will be using for our painting. So let's start first with the background color. So using my brush fully loaded with water and mixing this windsor blue and white mix and starting from the top, you can see how vibrant this blue is. I really love this windsor blue. You can use serelm blue also if you don't have windsor blue, but this blue is amazing. I really like the color when it white get added to it. So I'm just adding more and more white as I'm going down and making a transition from dark to light. So just blending the colors. Try to take thick colors when you are blocking anything so that the colors will not dry very very fast, and you can easily blend the colors. Now, you can see how the first blending is done. We will do at least one more coat of the blending, and then just more white I'm adding below. So just more white and trying to blend with the above color. So if required, you can add second code. If you feel that in the first code only it has come up very well, then no need to do the second code. Especially on paper. But yes, if you're doing it on canvas, you have to do at least two to three coats. Now we will do the lower part which is there. So first, we will start with the color, which is the mix of this lemon green and this more lemon yellow and a little bit of black am adding to this. Just making a color a little different. So this color, if you don't have lemon green, you can use normal green and add yellow to that and little white to that. You will get that green. So just adding it in the above portion. So here I'm using my round brush because this will help me to make some nice curvy shaves instead of using the flat brush. So just filling it with this nice light green colour, grayish green, you can see, and little yellow, I'm taking it below and trying to blend with the upper color. So this will create a little transition from dark to light color. Then comes the second one in which as you can see, it is a little darker one. So I'm just mixing this viridian in this color only and just making the second part, which is there a little darker, just adding a little more black to the screen. And first, I will outline it, and then I'll start filling the colors. Filling it with my round brush. So you can see the upper part is a little darker, so I'm just making the upper part a little bit more darker. And as it will go down, it will become more lighter. So again, here also the transition from dark to light. So this is how we have to make the background. So two we have done. There is three more, which is left with different greens we will be using. So I'm just taking the lighter green and I'm just trying to blend this color with the darker one. 56. Step Up Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have done the two parts of this. Now we'll be doing the third one by using yellow and this light green and white mix, and we'll cover this part. So it is mostly yellowish in color, so yellowish green. So that color we want to be here, like a green color, you can say. It's a more lemony color. So exact lemon color is like this only. So just applying here this light color. So this painting I chose because I wanted to show you there are so many grains which we can make. So here I have just used two greens and we are making so many greens out of it. You can make so many greens out of just yellow and blue also. So only two colors if you use, you can make so many greens. Like here, I have used the two greens, but instead of using two greens, try to use just blue and the lemon yellow and the cadmium yellow. You'll get a different green. So this is the second one which I'm doing. The second last one. So it's mixing the viridian and the second lighter green which I have. So just applying it and you can see this is another type of green which is there. So after that, the last one, which is the bottom part of the for ground, there will be another type of green which will be more towards the grayish side. I'm just mixing black in this, more yellow in this, and a little bit more black and more white. You'll get a nice different type of green which is totally different from all of them. It is a grayish green color, you can see. All these are the land area. Now we will be doing the details over here. The first, we will do the mountains. So let's first add the clouds with my flat brush. Now here, I have used just a damp brush for creating the clouds. Try not to have any water. It should be a dry or a damp brush and take very less less color on your brush to create all these nice cloudy textures. So just smudging my colors and creating some nice thin clouds. After that, I will add the mountains, the colors which are there in the mountains. So for this, I will be using blue and black and white mix. So a different color of blue will come up, you can see. So even if you're using Sirium blue or Kobal blue, try to mix this color and make a different version of blue. So just first outlining it, and then I will fill it with the same color. So if you're using thick color over here, and I think in one coat, it will be perfectly done. You don't have to do the second got. So try to use thick color, and in one go, you will be able to complete this process of filling of the colors. So you can see how different blues are both the sky and the mountain. So now we will start doing a little more details to the mountains just by giving more darker colors, just giving a little shape to it, that there are some darker areas which are the shadow areas of the mountains. Just some lines and textures. That's it. And then we will add some more textures to the grasses using my dry fan brush. So taking first yellow colour and putting it in the lighter one, which is the lemon yellow color. So there I will just add yellow textures over there. So just filling it with nice yellowish texture, and then a mix of yellow and green texture and a little bit of the darker green and white mix, I will be adding on to the upper one, which is the first one which I have created just to make a very lighter look of the color. Some lighter textures. Then I will add to the second part, just adding more greener color to it and just few textures here and there. Adding more white to this lighter color and adding again the textures below. So same color I'm using. I'm just making it a little lighter either by adding yellow or by adding white to it. That's how we have to make the texture part. So now it is looking like there are grasses which are there of different colors and different areas up and down area. So like that, I have tried to create this painting. Now, I'm just taking black and green mix, and I'm just outlining this part because I don't want the lighter colour to go inside this darker part. It should be a clean edge. So this painting is almost done. We'll just write the coats and take out the masking tape and we are done with it. And so let's first take out the masking tape and see how it looks. So here we will be writing coat with, again, our black technical pen. You can write with white also in the darker section. Or you can leave the coat if you don't want to write. You can leave the painting like this. Writing on the lighter part with my technical pen. So this is it. Do try it out, and I'm sure you will love this painting, too. See you in the next class. 57. Stay Committed Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting. So this is the painting which we will be doing. So let's talk about the colors which we will be using here. So the first color is Pains gray and white mix. So if you don't have Pains gray, you can use black also. And the second one is the burgundy and little bit of white mix into this. So again, if you don't have burgundy, you can use AzarenGrimson. And this is cadmium yellow and white mix to the cadmium yellow. So this is a background which we will be using for the background as well as the foreground same colors. And for the mountains, I will be using very light pains gray color and the details directly with the pains gray. So let's first start with the drawing. So I'm just drawing first the center line and then I'll draw the mountains. So this line is just drawing some mountains. These are very small size mountains. They're not very big. So try to make it small and just outlining the mountains, and this is it. Now we'll start with the background blocking first. So taking my again, flat brush loaded with water, so these are the colors. So let's first mix the pains gray and white mix. Just mixing the color and first, I will apply it on the top, moving the brush in circles. So this time you can see I'm moving the brush in circles not in like straight horizontal lines. So try to move the brush in circles. This will create a nice, cloudy effect. So then after washing my brush, I will take another color that is the burgundy. So you can also use your round brush if you're not comfortable with the flat brush. So again, I will just take the color, make the color a little lighter, and just moving the brush in circles. So similarly, as I will go down, I will make the color more lighter and lighter. So I don't want the colors to be very dark. It should be very light, grayish color. After that, to the burgundy color. So I haven't washed off my brush. There is gray on my brush, so just taking my burgundy and just rotating my brush in circles and trying to blend with the gray color. Sometimes you just have to wash off your brush and just the brush, you can blend the colors. So damp brush, and you can blend the colors. After that, there's cadmium yellow. So this is cadmium yellow deep, which I'm using. So very thick and opaque color it is. So just first outlining the mountains and then filling this whole thing with the nice thick, yellowish color. And you can see there is a line in between that burgundy and yellow. Again, I'm taking burgundy color and applying it across the line. And again, I will try to blend the colors. So just washing off my brush, and again, I will take the yellow color, and I'll try to blend this color with yellow. Just moving the brush in to and fro and trying to blend it. So you can only blend it if the color is wet. If the color has dried, you cannot blend it. Now we will do the upper part. Again, I'm taking that lighter color because my gray color has dried up. So I'm just taking this color and again, applying it on the above portion and trying to blend it with the burgundy color. So this is how you have to move your brush every time. Every time whenever you are blending the color, make sure that both the colors are wet. Otherwise, it will not blend. You will not be able to blend the colors. So just pushing the colors and blending the colors. Again, taking this burgundy and just trying to make it more darker. Again, taking this mix of white and this cadmium yellow mix and trying to again repeat the same process. Just blending it with a damp brush. So in the first code, just focus on how the colors are going. Then when you're applying the second code, you can fix all of these things. Now here we will do the blocking of the water, which is there, which is a reflection of the sky. So first, I will add here the color that is the cadmium yellow. There is a mix of little bit of burgundy into it. Then again, Burgundi color in the center and then the grayish color. So again, taking yellow color and blending it with this burgundy color. So I don't want any sharp lines to be here. Now I will take the color, which is the paints gray and white mix and just putting to one side and trying to blend the colors. So this blending, you can also use your flat brush for filling these colors. If you're not comfortable with round brush, you can definitely use your flat brush for blending the colors. So I'm just pushing this burgundy and this grayish mix together. Again, taking this lighter yellowish color and pushing it towards the burgundy. So this is how we mix when we mix it in the horizontal direction. 58. Stay Committed Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have done the one coat of background and the foreground. Now, let's start again with one more coat. So using my same round brush, I'll just mix the color and start from the top again. Similar colors here this time, the little bit more perfect blending. Here I'm looking for it. So I'm just first filling the colors. And again, the Burgundy color in the center. Now, if you don't have burgundy, you can use AlazarinGrimson. It is similar to that. So just applying this burgundy and washing off my brush, removing excess of water and just taking this so grayish color and trying to blend with this burgundy color first. And again, washing off my brush, taking again, white and yellow, applying it below, and again, blending it with the burgundy color. So this time, a little bit more finish to the colors, you will see more finish look when you use two layers of the colors. So just trying to blend it carefully with my brush, just taking again yellow and fixing this color which has come up here. So slowly, slowly, I'm just building up the nice blend of colors. So now we will do the middle part which is here, the mountains. So first, I will mix a very light grayish color, very light. So here, maximum amount is white and less amount is the gray. So first, I will take white, and I'll just mix lots of white in gray, and I'll make a very light color of gray. So I'm just adding it to the mountains, and first I'm just outlining it, and then I will fill in this color. So again, I'm using here, my round brush only because these are very small mountains. So try not to use very big size brush. And if you will use milky color, then in one go only, you can fill in the whole mountain and no need to repeat the second goat. So just filling this entire thing over here. So slowly, slowly, I'm just filling it up. Now, once we are done with the filling, we'll do the details also on top of it by using Pains gray. So just taking again my same brush and pains gray and adding some textures here and there. So try to use here the brush, dry brush, not wet brush. Then only you will be able to create some nice textures. So I'm just smudging this colour, taking very lstless color, and my brush is completely dry, and I'm just smudging it across some of the parts, just applying the nice thick color of this paints gray. Somewhere I'm using the tip, somewhere I'm using the side of my brush. So like this, you have to create some textures on top of the mountains. It's a of dry brush technique where I'm smudging the darker color on top of it. So that's what we have to do over here. So just outlining and making a line of the mountain, the horizon line, and then just taking some white and adding some white textures also in between. So this is it for the mountains, and we'll now add just a white line below this darker line. It's not completely white. It is like a grayish color. And now we will add some more textures on top of it because I feel it is not very nicely blending. So I'm just adding more of this grayish color on top, a light, very thin colour, not very thick. So again, taking a thin colour of this gray and just rotating my brush in circles and applying it on the top. When you will do like this, it will look like there are very cloudy atmosphere which is there on the top sky. So now we will do the water part. So for the water part, I will be using my flat brush. So just mixing burgundy and paints gray and just creating some lines just to and fro just touching the tip of my brush and creating a nice lines of the water. So one side, I will make it dark and one side, I will make it light. And just extending some of the lines and few lines, I'm just applying it this side also. And again, taking my paints gray and just applying a few lines over this side also. The lighter ones. So I've just mixed here a little bit of white and just applying some lines, little bit on the top, just to show that there are some reflections of the mountains. Then taking some yellow and again, adding some more yellowish lines to this side. So this is how we make the blend the colors, blend the textures by using simple lines. So this painting is almost done. We just have to create the outline of the mountains, and then we are done with this painting. So just using my liner brush and making the color thin and drawing some lines, very thin lines. So you can see these lines are not very smooth. These are some crooked lines you can see. Try to make the color as thin as possible, then only you will be able to create some fine lines. So a little bit of textures I'm just adding here and there with my liner brush also. And so this is it. We'll just write the coats and remove the masking tape and we are done with this painting. So this cloud is full of rain, so it's like a cloudy weather which is there. And yes, the sunset and the cloudy weather both is happening at the same time. So stay committed. This is the coat over here. So we'll remove the tape and you'll see how beautiful this painting is looking. So this is it, and we will meet in the next class. 59. Smile Part One: Welcome back. So let's start a new painting. So here is the painting which we will be doing. So let's first start about talking about the colors. So the first color is tallow blue, which I will be using. And as we will go down, we will add more white to this to create a nice transition from dark to light. Then comes the base, which is the base of the grasses. So this will be a dark color, which is a mix of lemon yellow and black. Then comes the nice green, lemon green color which I will be using here, then lemon yellow, which I will be using with a mix of this, again, lemon green. And also for the mountains, and for the darker part, we'll be using black color. So these are colors we will be using. Then comes the mountains. For the mountains, again, we will be using a mix of blue, black and white. So this is the color of the mountain, and one is a little greenish, color in which I have added lemon yellow. So all these colors we will be using. So let's start first with our painting, first with our drawing, and then we'll start with the painting. So let's first create the line, that is the center line. And then we will create the center pathway which is there. It's a so this is the mountain which will be there, and there will be a center pathway, which I will be creating. So I'm just creating a line little below. And now I will create the pathway which is in the center. So the land area which is in the center, it's like a curved shaped on the top. And below also, it is a little curved. So something like this will be the land part. And above will be the mountain. And below also, there will be the land area. This is a reflection of the mountain which we will create, and below also will be the land area, that is the foreground area. So this is it for the drawing, and there will be a mountain which will be below as well. So there will be two mountains which will be below, so like very small mountains and this is it. So let's start first with the background blocking. So I have already taken out all the colors. So this is sallow blue, black, green, yellow, thalo blue and white. So let's start first with the Tallow blue color, and we'll mix a little bit of white in this. And so it will be a mostly darker color. But as we will go down, we will make the color lighter and lighter. So when you mix a little bit of white and hallow blue, it becomes a little opaque because mostly Taloblue is a very translucent type of color. So it's better to mix a little bit of white into it. So I'm just blending the colors. And as I will go down, I will make it more lighter. So very simple background it is like we have done in so many paintings. If you have practiced my so many paintings, now, by the time you must have known how to blend the colors. So blending is very important in acrylic. In every part, we use blending. So practice more of the blending part, and you will see your painting will improve day by day. So this class is basically for this how we can do the painting in easy steps. So that's why I have explained each and every step in each and every painting. So here, also, I'm just blending the colors from dark to light. So now we will be doing the part, the water part, which is there. So you can see water is always a reflection of sky. So first, I will add the lighter color. Then I will add the darker color. This is how we have to move in and we have to blend the lighter color with the darker color. Again, just dark color and again, trying to blend the lighter color and the darker color together. So this is how we have to move in the entire process. So this is the water part, the sky part we have done. Now we will do the land part. So for the land part, whenever we do any detailing, we always first use the darker color that is a mix of black and lemon yellow. So we are just making the color a little bit more of dark color, and just we will fill in it with my flat brush. So just first creating the edges and filling it in the vertical shape. It is fine if brush marks are there. We have to create details so all the brush marks will be gone. So central part also, I will be filling it like that. So first creating the line and then I'll just fill it with the same color. And a little bit more greenish, I'll keep just adding a more green color to it and just filling it up. So this is how we have done the filling of the colors. Now we will start with the mountains. 60. Smile Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start for the and now I will be using just black color and a liquid black color. First, I'll be creating the shapes of the trees which are there. So I'm just moving my brush in vertical, giving a shape of a tree. So when you will move the brush vertical, it will create some edges which will look like there are trees which are there. So I'm just adding some big and small lines like this and filling it up. And the rest of the area, I will just fill it with black. Similarly, for the reflections, also, I will be repeating the similar thing. Just filling it nicely with black colour. Now, doing the lower part, same thing. I'm just creating the lines first, and then I will fill it with black color. So whenever you are doing any lines or details, try to use fluid colour, not very thick color. Otherwise, you will not be able to create the lines. And for the filling, you can use the milky color, and that's it. So try to do it slowly one by one, each process. So you can first see it and then do it that also you can do. So just filling it up. So in this whole class, I have tried different different landscapes so that you get an experience of different different types of landscapes to paint. So try it out, and I'm sure you will enjoy all these beautiful landscapes. So now I'm painting the mountain with a grayish, bluish color. It's just the first mountain and with my round brush. You can do it before doing this tree part so that the lines will not be disturbed. But if your lines are disturbed, you can redo that part. If you have done that black part, you can redo that part. If your lines get disturbed the black lines. And this is a little greenish one. So this is it about the two mountains which are behind and then a little bit of filling I'm just doing. Then comes, again, the bluish, blackish color. I'm just filling the color. Some of the colors are not there, so I'm just filling it nicely. Now, if your lines have got disturbed there, you can redo the lines there. Now I'm using my fan brush and just using the tip of my fan brush and creating these textures using this nice greenish, light, greenish color. If you don't have this green color, you can make it by mixing this lemon yellow, blue and white. You'll get this type of color. So it should be more of yellow, less of blue, then only you will get a light green colour. So I'm just applying this texture all over to create a nice grass area. Any color you can use, but try to use a dry brush, not a wet brush, then only you will get this type of texture. Also adding some textures on the top of the grass, taking the black color and creating some textures. So we'll also create some clouds on the top a little bit. It's just adding small, small textures of grass and some black textures on top also just to make it a little bit more real. Now, again, taking this green colour and just little bit of yellow mix and adding some more textures to this area. Try not to press the brush too much. Use just the tip of your brush and the brush should be completely dry brush. So now we will be doing a little details of the um the lines, the water lines which are there, very thin lines. Try to make the color as thin as possible and then create the lines using your liner or rigor brush. So this is it for the water part. You don't have to do too much. And then we will add some clouds on the top. So for adding the clouds, I will be using my flat brush, again, a damp flat brush, not a dry but a damp brush and just smudging my white colour, taking very little little white color on the tip of my brush and just smudging all around. This is how we create a very beautiful and realistic clouds. These are all small straight clouds which are there, creating some of them at the cloud at the mountain part. I will also add some of the clouds on top of the mountain just to look that there are some clouds which are on top of the mountains also. So this is it of the painting, and we'll just write the coat and we are done with this painting. So just removing the tape slowly, and you can see how beautiful this painting is looking like a cool color painting. That's why when you see such greenery and such blue color, automatically, the smile will come. So that's why I've kept smile as the coat of this painting. So this is it. We'll just write the coat and we are done with this painting. So here you can see some colors have come out, so I'm just hiding it with my white color that you can do it in acrylic. And now we will just write the coat. Just adding here also, a little bit of the colors, just to make the lines crisp and clear. So all these details matter when you are doing the painting. It's just adding the black line over there also. So do try out this painting, and you can tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it on my story. You can skip the coat part. You can just do the painting also. It's totally up to you how you want to keep your painting. So just write some one word at, and this is done. See you in the next class. 61. Be Real Part One: Welcome back. Let's start with a new painting. Let's first discuss about the colors which we will be using in this painting. The first color is cadmium orange. The second color is a little bit of black mixed with this cadmium orange and a little bit white. This is the second color which I will be using and blending with orange. Then the color with black and white makes a grayish color which will be the mountain color. And rest of the things we will be doing just with black colors. So these are colors we will be using for the painting. So let's start first with the sketching, and then we will do the painting. So this color we will be using for the sun, that is lemon yellow and white mix. So this is it. So let's start first with the sketching and then we'll start with the painting. So first, I will draw the center line and then I'll draw one mountain, which is there. And rest of the things we will be adding directly by using the colors. So this is a pathway where the trees are, and there is a mountain behind these whole tree line area. Below also, there is one patch where the tree will be there. So we will be slowly doing the details once we start coloring. So these are the colors which we need that is orange, black, white, and lemon yellow. So let's start with the painting. I'm using my fully loaded water brush, flat brush and taking this orange color and directly applying first on the top part. And as I will go down, I will make it more of the brownish, or you can say, a mix of white and little bit of black. It becomes like a brownish type color, very light, brownish color, and applying it below and then blending it with the orange color. So this is how we have to mix, try not to make it very dark. It should be a very light orange color. So orange should be more and white and black should be less. So we will blend both the colors together. Again, I'm taking orange and trying to blend this color with this grayish orangy color. So it's okay if you want to push the orange towards this side, this will automatically turn into a light grayish, orange color. So now we will start doing the part, which is the upper part, the mountain part. That is a kind of gray color, so mix of black and lots of white. So it's a light grayish color which I will be making. So just applying it above using my round brush. So first, I will do the outlining, and then I will just fill it with this same color. So just filling it, first outlining it, and then I will just fill this with a nice light grayish color. So there are lots of different varieties of grays we are using here. So this is another type of gray. Above also, we have mixed and create a grayish orange color. So similarly here, just white and black. So now we will do the part, which is the black part, where the three lines are there. So just mixing in the same color more black and first creating the lines in a vertical shape, and then I'll start filling it with a similar color. It's a very simple and beautiful warm color painting and very different. It's mostly full of orange, red, yellow, like that type of color. Very soothing look it gives when the whole painting will be finished. So you'll see. So just adding the tree line and then the middle part which is there, that will be also black, but we'll do that later on because we have to do the water part first. So for coloring the water part, again, we will be using our flat brush, just taking one side orange and one side a little grayish color. So like that, we will be moving the colors, and we'll blend the colors also like that. You must have seen in one of our painting we have done same similar blending of water. So same thing we have to do it here also. So I'm just making gray color. So one side, I'll keep gray, not totally below, just above so that it looks like there are the mountains due to which that water has become grayish color. So I'm just making a line and just blending it with this orange color. So again, I will wash off my brush and take the orange color and apply it below. Similarly, I will blend these colors also together, and then we will create some ripples and lines in the water part. So again, taking the color which is little orangy grayish color and just adding some lines to one side. First, we will add lines to one side, and then we will add lines to the other side also. So just moving the brush in to and fro direction and just adding the lines as you can see. So once the water part is done, then we will start creating the trees which are in the center of water. In the middle of water, it is. It is not in any area. There's a land area in the middle of water where we will be creating the trees. So just mixing some colors and blending it with the grayish color. So this is the whole blending. Now we will be doing a little bit more of the textures, and then we will start creating the trees. 62. Be Real Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we'll start creating the trees which are in the center of the water, as you can see in the image. So first, I will take plaque color using my round brush and make it a little milky, and I'll just draw the path which is in the middle of the water. So just a small path section and rest will be the trees which will be above. So using my same brush, I will be drawing the tree trunk and the textures of the leaves, I will be drawing with my filbert brush. So just adding some textures. Now, use your damp brush or the dry brush for creating these textures. You just have to use your tip of your brush to create these textures and try not to press it too much. Do it with a very gentle hand. And this is it for the tree textures. We'll just add some more branches on the tree part, and then we are done with the tree part also. Also, we'll create some reflections of the tree, and there will be a sun also on top of it. But first, we will create the reflection of the tree. So using my small size flat brush, I will create some reflections below, just moving the brush into and fro direction and creating some lines. Just try to use a tip of your brush to create these lines. Now I will create the sun which is there on the top after creating these textures. So now for the sun, I will use my round brush, and first, I will just apply the color, which is the lemon yellow and white mix, and I'll create a nice, small circle on just top of the tree. Also taking more of white and adding it in the center, creating a nice big circle. Now we'll create some shadow effect of the sun, taking yellow and creating onto the sides, just the light which is there in the side part. So try to make it a little thin, use your brush and make just the damp brush and try to make this outer color a little thinner. Now, again, taking white color and creating some lines in this water part to show the reflection of the sun So white and yellow I have taken white in the center, yellow to the sides. So this is it with the painting part, and now we will create the create some birds on the top, which are flying together. Now for creating the birds, you can use your technical pen, also, you can use your brush also. It's totally up to you what you want to use. I think that technical pen would work more better when we are creating very small birds in different directions. So all these birds are moving in a group, and also the code, I will be writing with the black technical pen. So this is the whole painting. And if you're trying out, do share your project works, and you can also tag me on Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I would love to reshare your project on my Instagram story. So this is our last painting. So one more painting to go as the bonus lesson. 63. Stay Wild Part One: Welcome back. Let's start with our last painting. This is the painting which we will be doing. So first, let's talk about the colors. So the first color is serleum blue, then serum blue and white mix. This will be our background. Then serum blue, white, and the lemon yellow mix for the water part. This will create a nice steel color. Then a little bit more sirilm blue and the lighter color and a mix of black. To create some nice snow area which is there. Then comes the back tree line, which is there with using orange and black mix to create a nice tree line. So this is a little bit more dark. So like a dark burned sienna color. So all these colors we will be using for our painting. So let's first start with the sketching. I have kept my page in a portrait shape, as you can see. So now, first, I will draw the line which is in the center. A nice center line, and then I will draw the middle ground which is there, giving a little shape to it. And also, I will add above the below part, which is the foreground and also the above tree line which is there. So the rest main birch tree, we will directly adding by using the color. So this is the whole drawing which we have to do, and rest we will be doing directly by using the colors. So let's start with our painting. So these are the colors which we will be using, as you can see. So first, I will take serleum blue and white mix, and I will start from the top. If you don't have serleum blue, you can use cobalt blue also. So starting with a darker color, and we will end towards the lighter transition. So this is how we have to move our colors from dark to light transition. So just moving the brush and trying to blend the darker color and the lighter color. As we will go down, it will become more lighter and lighter. So it's a very beautiful painting with lots of cool colors added here. So here you can see I'm just taking white and making this area a little more lighter. So if in one code, your blending is perfect, no need to repeat it in second code when you're using it on a paper, but when you're using it on a canvas, try to do at least two codes of it. And try to use thick colour and less water. Then only your blending will be fine and the colors will not dry very fast. So keep all these things in mind when you are doing your painting. So again, I'm taking this blue with a mix of a little bit of yellow into this to create a nice steel color, which we want for the water part. So very beautiful color it creates when you add a little bit of the lemon yellow to it. So just covering this water part. So here I will be using a similar color but a little lighter on the top part. And just blending it with the darker color. So now we will cover the foreground and the middle ground using my same brush, taking this seralm blue, black, and lots of white mix because we want a very light, grayish, bluish color to be filled over here. So just applying it with my flat brush. So now we will use a similar color on the top for ground the middle ground which is there. So from the horizon line to the below part, we have to cover with this color only. So we have almost done the blocking, only the upper part and the reflection is left, which we will be doing with the orange and black mix. 64. Stay Wild Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we have to do the upper part in which I will be using this orange and black mix. So I will be making a nice brownish orange color, and I'll start first creating the textures on the top, and then I'll start filling the colors. So try to make it more towards the orange side. Try not to make it very dark, blackish color. So just applying creating the shapes in vertical I'm just moving the brush in the vertical motion, as you can see, and creating some pointed shapes so that it will look like that there are trees on the back side of the middle ground. So just adding some lines very close to each other, and then I will just fill in the entire part which is left. So I've just created the texture, and now I will just fill it with the entire part with the same color. It can be a little more darker than the upper part which you have created. Now for filling, you can use any brush, either the round brush or the flat brush. Whichever brushes suits you, you can use those brushes. So some nice background trees which are there. Now, once I have done the back part, there is a reflection of the same thing which is there in the water. So very few reflection is there for that part. So that part also we will be coloring with the same color which we have used on the top. So again, taking the similar color and just creating nice vertical textures first and then filling it with the same color. So this is the actual reflection of the upper part which is there, and it is only here the reflection is visible. So now we will add some textures in the snow part which is there, the above and the below part, both the sides. First, we will add the textures. So taking this yellow color and white color mix, I'll just add some textures on this area as well. So here I have mixed yellow because I want the color to be a little more visible. That's why I mixed a little bit of yellow to make it a light orange color. Then I'll just take white and blue mix and just applying some textures on the area which is the snow area. Use completely dry fan brush and just with the tip of your brush, you have to create these textures. So textures here and there randomly. I'm just trying to create. Also some on these tree back trees also. So we'll also be adding some black textures as well on the snow area which is there. So small small textures I will be adding, especially on the upper part of the area which is there, some small small textures just to show that there are some areas which are rocks or these areas are not covered with the snow. Just small small textures I'm adding. On the top also some small textures with my rigor brush. And now we will create the main tree which is in the center. But before that, first, I will add some water ripples with my again, rigor brush, and your white color should be thin. Just create some thin lines just to show that these are the water part which is there. That's it for the waters, and then we will add two birch tree which is there in the center. So for this, I will be using. So again, I'm just taking this nice thick white color with little bit of yellow added to it. Very little amount. It should not be visible. It's just a bit of the yellow part and just trying to draw two lines both the lines are very quite thick. So try to make it either with your round brush or with your flat brush. Anything you can use either round or flat brush. So just adding two trees, two tree trunk line first, a little thicker line. And on top of that, we will be creating textures with this brown color. So now, once we have added the lines, now we'll start adding the textures with a mix of orange and black. So you can see there are lots of textures in between. So just adding some small, small textures in this whole tree trunk area. So instead I will use my fan brush to create some textures. Let's see how it comes out. So this is very small space, so it's very difficult to create with this. So we will be using our flat brush of smaller size to create some nice textures. So just taking my flat brush and creating to the side corners of this tree so that it gives a little shape also to the tree, and the textures are also created very nicely, and the edge is also not disturbed. That's why I have used the flat brush. Try to use the smaller size flat brush. Similarly, I will be doing the other part of the tree also. Very easy and simple way to create this birch tree tree textures. Once we have done with the texture part, I will just create some branches and some stems which are coming out with my rigor brush. So making the color thin and creating some nice lines, some nice tree lines. So I won't be creating too much. Otherwise, it will become very complicated. So a little bit of branches here and there. I'm just taking it out. This is our bonus painting, and I'm sure you will love this too because it's a very beautiful painting with the two birch tree in the center. So this is the main attraction, the birch tree, which is there. And do try it out and share your project works. This is a class 30 days class challenge. So this is a 31 painting which I'm doing here. So try it out and share your project works, and you can try it at your own time, at your own pace, creating some grasses with the brownish color. Some more grasses with a little darker color. So this is the painting, and we'll just write the coat and this is done. So I hope you enjoyed this whole series like I did, and to try out your painting. It is just like a routine practice, and slowly, slowly, you will see improvement in your painting. So this is the whole painting and just taking out the tape and we are done with it. And thank you so much for watching it.
