1. Welcome to 30 Day Watercolor Challenge: When was the last time you took a little time for yourself? Art can be a beautiful avenue for self care that you might not have considered on a daily basis. I find inspiration in the millions of things and all those inspiring things motivates me to invest some time in art practice every day. This routine has remarkably advanced my skills and brings me a tranquil sense of peace at the end of the day. Hello friends. My name is Danina Anabel. I'm an artist, an art instructor, and an author. My first encounter with watercolor happened when I was at the age of five, and I vividly remember those circular shaped watercolor cakes. The joy of that discovery has been the driving force behind my enduring love for this Meteum. Watercolor, without any doubt, is a truly remarkable metium offering pure joy. As you wet the paper and witness the mesmerizing blends and effects that unfold, join me on a creative journey for 30 days and discover the joy of painting with watercolor. In this class, we'll together try 30 beautiful winter landscapes. Each painting is a world of its own, giving you plenty of opportunities to master new color combinations and techniques from of monochrome to the breathtaking beauty of northern lights. We'll be exploring a broad range of paintings in this class. This class is more than just the final outcome. It's about investing time in yourself, relishing a creative journey, and establishing a creative habit. Before we start, I will explain about the verticlar supplies in detail. At the beginning of every painting, I will talk about the colors you will need. Then we'll also try some alternate color options if you don't have the same color I'm using. Each painting in this challenge will take you only 20 to 25 minutes, allowing you to easily incorporate them in your busy routine. If you're ready for a journey into creativity, join me on this 30 day verticlar challenge and let's create together. 2. Class Overview: Thanks Emelin for joining me. Welcome to a delightful 30 day journey of water color painting. Before we get started, I would like to provide you an idea about the class and how it is organized so you are well aware of what to expect in the days ahead. As you all already know, this class is designed as a daily challenge. Meaning you will paint a project with me every day. Each painting will take you somewhere 20-25 minutes, or maybe a little more, but not more than 30 minutes. If you can't make it every day, that's totally fine. You can paint them on the weekends or whenever you find some time. For me, it is more about you all enjoying the process and having a wonderful painting experience. So it's totally fine if you miss a day or two, pace yourself and enjoy the process. Now coming to the class, I'll start by explaining all the materials you will need from the brushes to the paper to the paint. I'll talk about everything. And straight from there, we will go with one's painting. I don't want to show the empty collection, I want to keep that as a surprise. But I'll show you some of my favorites. Here's one, I just love this color palette. It is very bright and pleasant. I love painting sunny winter days. Now there is another one with the same color palette. There is one more which also goes in a similar kind of color palette. This one here, you can see here, it's the same kind of color compinion, but then the composition is entirely different. So one of the major things you will explore in this class is how to make your own compositions. Here is one of my other favorites. I love the sunset and those beautiful colors. So this one is a bright and stunning sunset. Now on the other hand, we'll also try some simple soft sunsets like this one here. That's not it. We have more stunning sunsets. Here is another one. This one is one among my top five. I love those colors. Just sunsets. We will also try some stunning northern lights. I love painting northern lights. And we'll try three or four of them. Here's another one. It's a different color composition. You can see how unique and beautiful they are. Now there is another one, which is another favorite of mine. I love that textured green background and the stunning snowy ground. We also have some very simple paintings like this one painting, those mountains are real fun and I'm very excited for that. Now there is another one which is more like a monochrome painting. We have more beautiful snowy mountains. Here's another 21 against a beautiful northern lights. And another one with a cute red cabin. I will just show you one more. This one is my other favorite. You can do this painting in less than 20 minutes. I love those gorgeous colors and the softness of the sky. Now, before we start with every painting, I will introduce you to the colors. We will try them out and I will also tell you alternate options if you don't have the same color I'm using here. So yeah, that is what the class is all about. You can expect to paint this stunning winter landscape every day. As each day unfold, your confidence in your articular journey will flourish. And I can't really to join you in the joy of painting for the next 30 days. 3. Materials you'll need: Before we start with first days painting, let's have a look at the materials you will need. I will start with the paper. Here's the one I'm going to use for this NPR challenge. It is from Canson. Canson is a very popular brand, and they have a lot of varieties of paper. This one is from their heritage series, and it is a co pressed aticlar paper. You can see the details here. It is 140 LB and it is pressed, and it is also 100% cotton, which is very important when you're doing aticular projects because watercolor is mostly about water control and making a background steve it for a longer time using a good quality artist grade aticular paper, which is specifically designed for aticlor is really important. If the paper is not good enough, you might not really enjoy the process and it can become a little frustrating. Please be sure to go with the good quality aticlar paper so that you have a wonderful painting time. Now here's the size I'm going with. This one is 12 centimeter by 15 centimeter. I have composed all of my paintings in this format. You can make it a bit bigger or a bit smaller. That's totally fine. Okay, that's all about the aticlar paper. The next thing I'm going to talk about is the water colors. I will be using verticlar tubes. You can use tubes or pants. It's totally fine. At the beginning of every painting, I will talk about the colors you will need in detail. I will show you swatches and I will also talk about alternate color options. If you don't have the same color I'm using, I just want to tell you, don't stress out. If you don't have the exact same color, just go with any color that is nearly similar. Okay, now the next thing you will need is a mixing palette. Obviously to mix your colors. This one is a ceramic mixing palette. You can go with any palette of your toys. Now, coming to the brushes, I'll be using six different brushes for this tier challenge. Let's have a look at each of them. The first one is a 1 " wash brush. I'll be using this brush to apply a coat of water onto the background whenever we are trying a wet on wet technique. The second one is a size number 12 brush. This one is to paint bigger areas. It could be a sky or any background. That's the second brush you will need now. The next one is a half inch flat brush. This one is to apply paint onto the sky, mostly whenever we need a clean plant. Now we have three more brushes, which are 300 bushes. The first one is size number eight, then I have size number six and also size number two. Size number 8.6. Is to add paint onto the background. Size number two is to add all those minute details. All right, so those are the brushes I'll be using. All of these brushes are from the brand silver brush. Don't worry about the brand or the size. Go with any brush you have got which is nearly similar in size, it doesn't need to be exactly the same. The next material you will need is two chars of water. One has to stay clean and the other one is to resolve the paint from your brush. Then you will need a masking tape to fix your paper onto your table or onto a drawing board. This is the one I'll be using. It's a very normal masking tape. I got it from a stationary store. You can use a washi tape or any other tape. Now, for almost all the paintings, I'll fix my paper onto my table directly, but only for a few of them. Especially when we're trying Northern Lights. We our paper on spine board. It can be any board where you can fix your paper onto. We'll have to lift it and we'll have to turn it around so that the colors will blend into each other naturally. It can even be a magazine. The idea is you'll have to lift it and turn it around. Finally, you will need a pencil eraser. We'll have to add some light sketches for that. You will need a pencil. Then you'll also need a paper towel or a cotton cloth to dab off the excess amount of water from your brush. Okay, that summarize all the materials you will need for this entire challenge. Keep them ready and join me for the first painting. 4. Day 1 - Snowy Day: Hello dear friends. Welcome to day one of 30 day verticlor challenge. Here's the painting that we're going to try today. It's a very simple, pretty snowy landscape. First, I will start by introducing you to the colors. I will start with the color which I have used to be in the snow, the color I have used for the snow and the sky is different. The color you see here at the bottom, this one is ultramarine blue and the one I have used for the sky is cerulean blue. The one I'm going to use here is from scene, you can go with any ultramarine blue you have got. That's a first color paints know the best color is always ultramarine blue. But if you don't have ultramarine blue, just go with any other blue hub cart, it could be plu blue, prussian blue, cobalt blue, or any other blue. Okay, so that's a first color. The second color I have here is Serulin blue. You can see the use for the sky that is Serulin blue. It's a beautiful blue. It is absolutely okay to use the same color for the sky and the snow. You can use ultramarine blue or any other blue which you're using for the snow. For the sky as well, that's totally fine. Here's the color I'm going to use. It's a beautiful blue. I love to use this color for my day skies. Okay, that's a second color. Now coming to the next one, it is a mix of sap, crine, and vermin. You can see the use for those landscape in the background. It's a mix of sap, creen and vermin. That's a color, it's more like a olive green color. If you have olive green with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create this color. We need a green that is not too fresh. That's the reason why I'm mixing some vermin with sap green. These are the two colors I'll be using. Vermin is from Shinhan and sap green is from white nights. Okay, That's a third color. Now the next color you will need is paint screen. We'll be using this color to add the deep pertoones for that cabin as well as to add some deepertones along the bottom part of the landscape. I'll be using paint screen. Okay. That's our fourth color. Now you will need which is white. We'll use a mix of vermin and white to add these trees. Also, you can use white to fix the shape of the roof. Okay, now I missed a swatch or vermion which is the color I'll be using for the cabin. It's a mix of vermin and a bit of paints gray. And that's why it is looking more like a brown. You can use brown or burn cena or even crimson. I'll just use a mix of vermin and a bit of paints gray. Okay, that will give you a nice brown. We just need some brownish or reddish tone. It can be brown or burna crimson or any kind of red. Okay. Color you see here is a mix of vermaline and a bit of paints gray. All right, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. Here is a closed look. We have ultramarine blue, cerulean blue, olive green paints gray and vermin. Now, just in case we have olive green with you, you can use it directly. This one is from Vancok. This one is very similar to the color we created here. So if we have a similar color with you, there is no need to mix and create that again. Okay, so we had a look at the colors. Now it's time to begin this journey. All right, so I have my paper ready here. Now, I'm going to start by adding the sketch. The first thing you have to add is a straight line. I'm adding that a bit below the center of the paper, so the top part is the sky and the bottom is going to be the snowy ground. Next, we need to add a tiny cabin. It's a very simple shape. I'm not going to go with a lot of details. It's more like a tiny up. All right. So that's it. That's how we catch. Now as you're painting, we'll add some landscape in the background. For now, this is all we need. Now before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. The first color you will need is ultramarine blue. Keep it ready on your palette. Once it is ready, you can apply coat of water onto the ground. Okay? Just a shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot that is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm using a smaller brush. This one size number six n rush. You can go with any of your medium sized to brush and I'm adding some water. I want a medium tone. It should not be too dark or too light. Okay? Now, if you feel like your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start because our background is wet. And if you apply the paint, it will start spreading a lot. To control the way it is spreading, always make sure to dab your brush on the paper towel now onto the bottomost corner adding some paint. Then I'm just randomly adding some lines, some thick lines, onto the background. You can see here, I'm leaving some cap in between, which is really, really important when you're painting snow. When you're painting snow, you have to retain some of the paper white. The snow, is that paper white? Right now, I'm adding the shadows. Okay, now I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm diving that on a paper towel now with a clean brush, I'm just merging those patterns to give it a softer and smoother look. Maybe we can add some more paint onto this corner. And also a little here. Okay, that's a background. If you want to add some more lines, you could do that. But try to retain some of the paper white, which is actually what depicts the snow. Okay. That is it. That's a snowy ground. Now, we can leave it for drying. Whenever I'm painting snow, I always use a blow dryer. I don't leave it for drying because I feel when I leave it for trying, I end up losing those paper white. By the time it dries, it will start spreading a bit more. I will end up having very little paper wide. I mostly use a blue dryer, especially when I'm painting snow. Okay. Otherwise I don't use it. Anyway, it has dried and that's how it has turned out. You can see how soft and smooth it is looking. Now the next task is to paint the sky. Before you start, you'll have to make sure you have all the colors ready, so you will need cerulean blue, then some sap green and vermin. We're going to mix these two colors together to create a color that is more like olive green. You will also need some paints gray to add the deeper tones. Which means you will have to have four colors ready on your palette, which is cerulean blue, sap, green, vermin. And paints gray. We're going to paint the sky and add the background elements together. You have to have your colors ready. Now, I'm going to start by applying code of water onto the sky. I'm going to leave out the cabin. I'm not going to add any water onto that, but if you accidentally add any water, that's totally fine. Anyway, we can fix the roof by going with some white paint. Okay. My background is evenly wet. Be sure not to add a lot of water. We don't need any pools. We just need a shiny coat of water. That's all we need. Okay. Next I'm going to go with my medium sized Nh. This one is size number eight. Make sure it's clean. Okay. Now I'm going with a medium tone of cerulian plume. You can see the color. It's not too light. I want a very bright and beautiful sky. Now when I'm applying the paint, I will use a medium tone on the top. As I'm coming down, I will just add some lines leaving some gap in between. Okay, so that's a color I'm using with any blue of your choice. And start with a similar tonal value. Okay, so that's a top part. Now I'm picking some water with a slightly lighter tone. I'm just adding some lines onto that wet background so you can see the way how I'm adding it. Just the same way how I painted the snowy ground. I'm leaving some paper white in between. Looks like there's a lot of water on my brush. I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. The slightly dry brush, I'm just munching it. I don't want them to spread a lot. I will end up having no white in between. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. If you want to add a few more lines, you could do that. I think maybe I can pick some more paint and add one or two lines which are a bit more prominent. The ones I added earlier are not really prominent. Okay, Anyway, that's a sky. Now let's clean the brush and quickly start hiding the landscape. Otherwise, it will dry up and it won't look blurry. Okay, go the mix of sap, green, and a bit of vermalion. The color can be different. That is totally fine. Now go the paint which is not too watery. You can see the weight is spreading. That's the color I'm using now, just add some random shapes. Here go the similar size or even smaller. Don't make it too big because they will start spreading and it will end up becoming much more picker than what you need. Okay, go the mix of sap, cream, and vermin, and just keep on adding some shapes here towards the cabin. I'm making them shorter towards the left. I'm making it a bit more higher. Okay. Now let me finish up that shape. It is nothing complicated. It is a very simple step, but there are two things you have to keep in mind. The first thing is you have to add them while your background is still wet. The next thing is you should go with the paint, which is not too watery. Also, try to use different shades of green. You can see at some places it is looking more brownish. At some places it is more greenish. This will add a lot of realistic character to your painting. One more thing. At some places you can make it higher. All those things will add more realistic character to your painting. Okay, that's a left side. Now, in a similar way, I'm going to add paint on the right side as well, but it looks like it has dry. I'm just going to pick some water. Obviously on another brush, and I'm just adding a shiny layer only at the bottom. Okay. That's enough. Now, we can start applying the paint. If your background is still wet, you don't need to do this. Mine has dried up, so I just applied a coat of water only at that bottom line. Okay. When you're painting the sky and the landscape, you have to be real quick. Otherwise it will end up drying. If it dries up, you won't be able to get that blurry look for your landscape, especially on the top. That is really important. Okay, now I'm just going to randomly add some more taco tone onto the background before it completely dries up with that same Calmix. I'm randomly dropping in a bit of darker tone onto the background. See that? My idea is to create some texture in the background. Next we can go the slightly darker tone and add them along the bottom. We can see they're very random shapes. I'm not putting a lot of effort here so just keep adding them. You can define the shape Asp. I mean that line if it's not per we can add that again using that taco tone. Now just drop in your taco tone along the bottom. Similarly on the other side, Asp. Don't add a lot of darker tones. We need them only along the bottom. Towards the top, we need those medium tones. Okay. Only at the bottom. Introduce some tact. Then you can smartch it into the background if you feel it is too much. Okay? Or you can just drag your brush towards a top like this to give it a softer look. Okay. So that's it. That's a sky and the landscape. Now, we'll have to leave this for drying. I'm really happy with this painting except for one thing which is this bleed here also. I have some in a way I cannot fix it, so I'm just going to ignore it and I'm going to leave it for drying. All right. So the background has tried and this is how it is looking right now. You can take a closer look and see those landscape we have added. I'm loving those. Check shoes and different sheets of green. Anyway, the next task is to paint the cabin. For that, I'm squeezing out some vermalion. We're going to paint the side first. Instead of vermalion, you can use brown or burn sina. I didn't want to introduce a new color to the palette, so I'm just going to go with vermion to turn that into a brown color. I will add some paint screen to it. Okay, that's how I'm going to create brown. You want a brownish color? We're not using vermion acids. Okay, Now I'm going to apply that color onto this section. Cure. Go with any of your smaller brush with the pointed tip and add that paint onto that entire section. Now towards the bottom, go for an irregular line. Don't add a straight line. This will make it look like there is some snow there. Add an irregular line and then fill it up. Okay, That's a first section. You can see that irregular line at the bottom. It's a simple detail, but it will make it look like there is some snow there. Now, with the same H, I'm picking some paints, gray. I'm adding some shadow along this roof line. Okay. That's it. We are done with this section. I'm not going to wait for this to dry. I'm going to paint the other section with a similar color. It's a mix of paint screen and vermillion. It's a daco tone. I'm going to fill up the other section. If you want to wait for that to dry, that's totally fine. You can come back and add that later, but I don't think it is really necessary. It is too far and you don't really need to show those lines. Just go over that right away and add a Daco tune onto the other section. Okay, that's a cabin. I'm really loving the colors and the way it is looking. Now we have one more task for which I'm going to take out some white paint. We need to define the roof and also we need to add some final details. You just need white to waticlor. It doesn't need to be guage. Squeeze out some white aticlor onto your palette. Now let's apply that onto the roof. I'm not adding much water. I need a paint that is opaque. Carefully follow the outline and fill that roof in white color. There's already some paper white there, but I feel that outline is not very clear. I'm just adding some more paint to define the shape better. Okay. That's a roof. If yours is fine, you don't need to add extra white paint. You can just leave the paper white there. Okay. Now, I'm going to add a roof line on the other side, just a thin white line. Okay? That's a snowy roof. Now, with the same paint, I'm going to add some trees, but I think for that I will need a smaller brush. The trees we're going to add are really far. It's good to go with the smaller brush. Now I'm mixing some vermalion and white with that, I'm just adding some thin lines here, some thin, irregular lines to make it look like those are the tree trunks. Okay? Go with any of your smaller brush or a pointed tip. These lines has to be really thin and delicate. Okay. Now let's keep on adding them. You can see how fine and delicate they are. This brush is size number two. It has got a really nice pointed tip and it works perfect for these details. I'm just randomly adding them. I'm not putting a lot of effort. Just add a few onto either side with the tip of your brush and fill it up. Okay, So the color I'm using here as a mix of vermin and white. The vermin is looking more like brown because I have added some pants crean into it earlier. You can just go with vermin acetus, or you can add white with brown or burn sina. Either way we just need a lighter tone here. The brown or vermin is not really prominent. The major color is still white. Okay, I will add a few more with that will be done with this exercise. All right. So I have added the trees. If you want to add more, you could do that. Maybe you can add a few more. Okay, now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going back with pain scra. We haven't added the door opening with pain scra. I'm going to introduce the door on this side. It's a tiny rectangle. Okay, that's a door. Now I'm going to add a white outline for that. I'm leaving my brush, I can, I'm switching to white now with the tip of my brush. I'm adding a tiny, delicate line on the top and also on the left side. Okay, that's a cabin. Now there's one final task which is completely optional. For that, I'm picking some ultramarine blue, a really light tone. I'm adding some blue onto the roof to show the shadows. This one is completely optional. You can either leave it as white or you can add some shadow onto the roof. All right, so with that, we're done with our painting for the day. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Always peel off your masking tape at an ankle. And before you do that, make sure your painting has tried completely. So here's our first snowy landscape. I really love the way it has turned out. It's a very simple, yet a beautiful painting. If you're able to try it, do you to try and let me know if you liked it. 5. Day 2 - Walk in the Woods: Hello, dear friends. Welcome back and welcome to date two. Today's painting is one of my most favorite from the Tia collection. It's a very refreshing and a beautiful color palette, and I think the details have come out really nice way. Let's start by looking at the colors. It's a very simple and Abc color palette. I think you can guess it by looking at the painting itself. The very first color you will need, ultramarine blue, which is the color I'll be using for the snowy ground. This one is from Sineliar. Go with any ultramarine blue you have got or Cabal blue or any similar blue. We'll be using a lighter tone to add the snowy texture on the ground. Okay. The next color you will need is sap crane. You can see those trees and foliage in the background. Sap green is one of the major color you will need for this painting, that spree, it is from Shinhan. Now, along with sap green, you will also need some Vermlin. We will mix Vermelin and Sap green together to create a different shade of green. When you mix these two colors together, you will end up getting a beautiful green, more like a earthy green. If we have olive green with you, you can use that directly. Or you can mix some sap green with vermlin and create a similar color. We're trying to introduce different shades of green in the background to make it look more natural. Okay, so that's a third color. The next burn is pinscreen. We'll be using paint screen to add some pertoons. I won't be using it assets. I'll mix that with green for the background, for the trees. I will mix that with brown. Okay, if you don't have paint, scray, coor neutral tent or any similar color, that's the fourth color. Now the next two colors you will need vermin and brown. We already use vermin along with green, but we'll also need that color as it is for the trees. On one side of the tree, we are going to use some orange. It can be vermin or any orange you have caught on this side. Then along with that, we will also use brown. I'll be using permanent brown. You can use permanent brown or bernina, any brown you have caught Along with that, we will also use some paint scray to add the deeper tones. So here's the color I'm going to use. It's permanent brown from art philosophy, it's a beautiful reddish brown. But even burn scena will work. Okay? So go with any of those two colors, brown or burn sena. Alright, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Now let's give it a try. Okay, so my paper is ready. I have fixed it down onto my table. Now I'm going to start by adding the sketch first I'm going to add a line sloping towards the right side. Okay, so on the left it is a bit higher, and towards the right it is sloping down. You can go with any kind of slope, It can be much more higher or lower. Next, I'm going to add a few trees onto the background. You can add them wherever you want to. I will add the first one on the left side. I'm adding that over here. I'm not showing the entire tree. I will only show the half of it. Okay. So that's the first tree. Now, I'm going to add the second one right next to that. It's going to be a huge thick tree. That's the thickness I'm going with. Okay. That's my second tree. Now, I'm going to add one more. You can place it wherever you like. Maybe you can add that trek next to this or towards the right side. I'm going to add that over here. It's going to be a thinner tree as thick as the previous one. I'm placing that on the edge. Okay, That's the thickness I'm going with. Okay, that's a sketch. If you want to go with two trees, that's totally fine. You can skip the third one. Or if you want to add one more, when that is fine. Okay, the sketch is ready. Now I'm going to start applying the paint. The very first color you will need is ultramarine blue. We'll use a medium tone of ultramarine blue to paint the snowy ground. Keep that color ready on your palette before you start. Once it is ready, you can start applying a coat of water. On to the entire ground. All right. So I've applied an even layer of water. Now to apply the paint, I'm using my size number six arm brush. Go with any of your medium sized arm brush. I'm starting with a medium tone now. I will apply this. On the bottomost corner, I'm in the right corner. And from there I will drag my brush towards a tree. See that on this corner I want a medium blue. Then on the rest of the area, I'm just going to add some random lines. Okay, right next to the tree. I'm not going to add a lot of paint. I want to read in most of the paper white. You can just add few thoughts or some small shapes. Okay, so that's the bottom part. Now I'm picking some more paint and I will make the corner a bit more brighter. Because when the paint dries, it will look even more lighter. So it's a good idea to go with a brighter tone. Okay, I have applied paint on the corner and I have applied some lines and some shapes onto the background. Now, I will add a little over here and also a few lines close to the other tree, they are not too prominent. Okay. Next I'm going to dap my pressure on a paper towel and with a dry brush, it leamudging those lines to get a softer look. Don't put a lot of pressure. Be very gentle when you're doing this step. Okay, That's it. I'm pretty happy with the way it has turned out. Now let's leave it for trying. When it dries, it will look really soft and smooth just in case if you're not entirely happy with the result. It's not a problem. When it dries, it will look a lot more better, Okay? So that's how it has turned out. You can see how soft and beautiful the colors are looking. Now, before we go to the next step, I'm going to go back with ultramarine blue, a really light tone. With that, I'm going to add a few more lines. You can see the tonal value, it is really light. First I will add a line there. Then I will add a few lines next to the tree in the background. I had added some lines but they're not visible. You can see the tonal value, It's really light. If you're adding them, go with a similar tonal value. Okay, that part is done. Next we're going to paint the greenery. And I will start by Eplencota water onto the in between areas. The first color you will need is blue. It can be any blue. The one I have here is cerlan blue. I will apply that onto the entire background. Then I will go with the grains. Before you start, you should have all the colors ready. You will need any blue, then sap, cream, vermalin, and some paints. Great to add the deeper tones. Once you have all the colors ready, start by, apply cot of water onto the background. Apply an even coat of water. Don't add a lot. Okay, The background is evenly wet. Now let's apply a coat of blue onto the entire background. The one I'm using here is Lian blue. Go with a lighter tune, you can use any blue of your choice. It can even be that ulta marine blue that you used earlier. But go with a lighter, don't make it too dark using any of your bigger brush. Apply that onto the entire background. It doesn't need to an event simply apply that, don't worry a lot about it. You don't need to put a lot of effort here. Simply fill that up onto this wet layer. We will introduce all the greens while we're applying the paint. We will leave some spaces in between. Those spaces will look like the sky. Okay, that's a plan. Now I'm going to keep this pressure side. I'm switching to my size number eight rush. I will start with the color that's a mix of green and Vermalin. The color we tried earlier, I'm dropping that onto the wet background. It's a medium tone. I will just randomly add that onto the background. Gradually I will introduce more taker tones. Now let's start with the medium tone. I'm applying that along the bottom first. Okay? First you can apply that along the bottom line. Then you can take that towards the top. Okay. Now, just in case you have olive green with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix. Create that again. Okay. Simply drop that color onto the wet background. I will first fill this section, then I will add them towards the top. Okay, Now with the same H, I'm going to pick some more paint again. Mix of sap, crane, and vermion that's darker than the color I used earlier and I'm adding that onto the background. Go with different tonal values and different shades of green and simply introduce that onto your wet background. Don't add any paint onto the tree. Try to leave the acts. See that you're trying to create a texture here. It doesn't need to be perfect. Go with a lighter tone and a darker tone hand in hand, and add them all onto the wet background towards the top. When you're applying the paint, leave some spaces in between. Don't fill in the entire blue part. Just some smaller spaces are fine. You can see here I have left some random shapes in between. I'm going to retain them and I will add more green onto the remaining area. Okay, now I'm going to pick a little more darker tone. Right now, I have medium and lighter tones, so I'm going to go with a darker tone. I'm adding that towards the bottom and also on the top in a very random way. Honestly, there is no order here. You can add your paint however you want. We just need different tonal values of green in the background at some places, it can be darker at some places. Retain your lighter tones. You just have to drop that paint onto the wet background. It will create a natural texture by its own. I have taken out some more paint now. I will add that onto the background. It's a much more darker tone. There is a tiny shape here. I'm going to retain that. I will add the paint around that. Also on the top, I have some space here as well. See that? Just keep on adding your paint while retaining those blue spaces. As I mentioned earlier, at some places it can be darker, at some places it can be lighter. All these will create a beautiful texture in the background. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. Now I'm going to pick some paint screen. I will mix that with green with that sheet. Aspli'm going to add some texture in the background. This color is much more darker than the color we used earlier. I'm again dropping them on the wet background in a very random way. See that? Let's add a few towards the bottom. Aspl, I think it is going really well. I'm loving the textures we have got here. Maybe we can add a few on the top. Okay, that's how it has turned out. If you want to add more texture, add that in before your background dries. And if you're happy with the results, you don't need to add any more paint, you can just leave the way it is. Okay. I will add a few more on this side, then I will call it done. You can see the greens we have in the background and that is the beauty of this painting. Try your best to use different tonal values and also varying shades of green. That's the reason why I mix some vermalin with sap green so that I have a different shade of green in the background. Now I'm going to go with a little more darker tone. I will add in some more paint, mostly at the bottom. It is still wet. I'm just making use of the time and I'm adding in some more taco tone. Take a step back from your seat and have a look at your painting. Analyze your painting and understand which color is lacking in your background. If you feel like you need to introduce some more taco tones, go ahead and add them in. Before your background dries. It is at a good shape. You don't need to introduce any more paint, just leave it for trying. Just because I'm adding more taco tone doesn't mean you need to do the same. If you're happy with your painting, just color it down. That's how it has turned out. I'm very happy with the result. You can see these spaces in between. That's the sky. I wish I could have left some more spaces. Anyway, that's done, so there's no going back. So yeah, let's leave it for trying. All right, so that is right completely. And I love the way it has turned out. The colors are still looking very nice and vibrant. Anyway, the next task is to paint the trees. For that, you will need three colors. The first color is vermin. We will add that on the lighter side. Then we will use permanent brown, also some pinscrey to add the deepertunes. Keep the colors ready on your palette before you start. As I mentioned, we need three colors. It could be brown or burn cena. Both the colors will work. Then for the deeper tones, you will either need pinscrey on your teltant or even black if you don't have any of the other two colors. Now I'm starting with Vermlin'm, picking a medium tune. I'm going to add that on the right side of the first Sree. Okay? Pick some Vermeline on your brush. And add that tone to any of the side. It can be left or right. We don't have any sun or any other light source in the painting. You can choose any side you prefer. Okay. Add that vermin. Next, I'm going to pick some brown. It's not a lighter tone, it's a taco tone. I'm adding that next to vermin. Okay, You can see I'm not adding much paint towards the bottom over there. We need to add a detail. Now, I'm going with a taco tone. I have taken some paints, gray. I'm adding that towards the bottom. Okay. So it's a darker tone of brown. I already have some brown on my brush, and with the same brush, I pick some paints gray. Now using that color, I'm going to add an irregular line at the bottom. See that? It's a very basic irregular line. Now I'm going to fill the top part. It's a very simple step, but it will have a lot of impact on your painting. Just add any irregular line at the bottom, then fill up the top part. Let me quickly fill this up and you will see thematic at the bottom, I have used a darker tone. And what's a right? I have used a medium tone. You can see that irregular line at the bottom. The shape can be different. You don't need to follow the same shape. Now towards the end, I'm adding a small detail. All right, so that's how it has turned out. It really looks like some snow has covered the bottom part of the tree. It's a very simple detail. Give it a try. Just add an irregular line and fill up the top. Now in a similar manner, we are going to paint the other tree as well. First, I will start with a vermllion. I will add that on the left side. Then I will gradually make it tackle towards the right. Okay, pick some vermalion on your brush. Go with a medium tone and add that along the left side. Maybe the color can be a bit more brighter. Yes, this looks perfect. Add that along the left side. I'm not adding much paint towards the bottom. We'll have to add that snowy detail. Be careful when you're applying paint towards the bottom. Next I'm picking some brown. It can be brown or burn sina. Apply your paint next to Vermalion and blend them together. The colors I'm using here is dark, they are not too light. I want them to stand out. Go the similar tonal value, you can see that beautiful orange we have on the left side and towards the right will make it more darker. Okay, that is vermaline and permanent brown. Now towards the right side, I will introduce a Dakotne. It's going to be a mix of pain, scray and brown. Okay, first I will fill this up. Then I will introduce the Daco tone. The colors are looking really beautiful already. With the Akot, it will be more three dimensional. I'm picking some paint, scray over the same brush and I'm mixing that with brown. I'm adding that towards the right side as you're applying the paint, Fix the shape, Asphal. Okay. Now some place, much that into the background. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. We'll add some lines and some texture on the tree. Okay, now let's start applying paint towards the bottom. I'm starting by adding an irregular line using the taker tone. This time the shape is a bit different. You can add that however you want. That's the shape I'm going with. Now. I'm going to fill up the top. Okay, maybe in between Asphal you can leave out some shapes, just some irregular shapes. It can be of any shape and any size. See that these shapes will look like the snow that has been stuck on the tree. You can leave out one or two spaces like this, or we can add them later using some white paint. If you can leave out some spaces like this, they can be super random. They can be of any size and any shape. Okay, now I'm going to fill up the remaining area. I will slightly modify the shape here at the end. Once we're done painting the tree, I will come back with some white articular. I'll be adding some texture on the tree to introduce more snow. So if you could not leave any spaces like this, that's totally fine. There is nothing to worry about. We can surely add them later. Okay, now I'm quickly filling up this part. So this one is our
