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 major tree. We have two more. The one on the left is hardly visible. And the other one we have placed a little far and also it is tiny. So this one is our major tree, which means we'll have to add a lot more details onto this, and that's our next task. And for that I'm using a taco tone of brown. I'm simply going to add some lines onto the tree, see that they don't need to be too thick, you can simply add them in. They can be of any length. The background is still slightly wet. This is the best time. This way they won't be too prominent while your background is still wet. Adding a few lines using a taco tone of brown. You don't need a lot. Just add a few here and there. They can be of any length and any thickness. No, I'm adding a few on the other one as well. Now, in a similar way, I'm going to add few more lines using a taco tone. Okay, I'm picking some more paints, gray with the same brush. And I will add them on the right side. Go with a taco tone and adding some more lines, only on the right side. See that I'm keeping those medium tone A acts. I'm not adding any lines towards the left, I'm just adding a few on the right side. Okay, that's it. That's a tree. This one is done. Now we have one more tree left. I'll paint that also in a similar way. The next tree is thinner compared to the other one. We don't need to add a lot of details. Okay, I'm starting worth million. I will add that on the left side, then towards the right I will make it darker. Okay. Follow the outline and add million on the left. Next, with the same, I'm picking some brown. I will add that in. Right after this, I will go with paints gray. The technique is exactly the same. The only difference here is the size of the tree. The other two trees were quite thick and bulky. This one is thin, so you don't need to put a lot of effort or you don't need to add a lot of details. Simply add a few lines onto the surface and also add an irregular line at the bottom and fill it up. Okay? All right, so this one is done, but it looks a bit weird. On the top, it looks like a piece is missing. We'll have to extend the tree towards a top. And that's what I'm going to do next. If you don't have any space in the middle like this, you can just leave it as it is. For me, there is some sky and it clearly looks like there is a piece missing. I have to add that in. Okay, maybe I will start by adding a sketch. I will extend that towards the top. I'm following the same thickness I used earlier. Now I'm going to add that in. I'm starting with vermillion, then I will go with brown and then paint screen. It's going to be the same technique. I'm just extending the tree towards the top and a similar thickness. Honestly, I didn't realize this earlier, but when I look at the painting now, it looks like there is something missing. I will have to add this piece, but I'm really sad that I had to compromise on the sky I had in the background, I only had a little Now that is also gone. Anyway, this needs to be done, otherwise the painting will look quite weird. Okay. So that's a shape. Now I'm going to pick a taco too, and I will add that on the right side, I'm picking some paints, Cray, and I'm going to add that on the right. Okay. Now, with the same dish, I'm going to add some lines onto the tree. And with that will be done. All right. So that's how it has turned out. Even though it was an error. I think it turned out pretty well. Now we have two more tasks left. One is adding some branches, and the final one is to add some more snow onto the trees. Okay, so let's start with the branches. And for that as well, I'm using a taco tone of brown. It's a mix of paints, gray and brown. Go with any of your smaller brush or a bridge with the pointed tip. Use a Taco tune. I don't have enough of brown on my palette. I'm just mixing some vermilyin with paint screen. Now I'm going to add a few branches here and there. You can add as many as you want. The brush I'm using here is size number six. It has got a really nice pointed tip. I'm starting with this tree here. Go with a similar thickness, don't make it too thick. It's better to go with a smaller brush or a bridge. With the pointed tip, you can add as many branches as you want. But don't make it too crowded. And add them in different direction, This will make your painting look more realistic. Some of them can be hanging town, some of them can be towards the top. Add them in varying direction. I'm not adding a lot of branches onto this tree. I will add two more, maybe one more on the top and another one towards the left. On the other one, I'm not adding any, but if you want to add more, that's totally fine. Add them as you like. You can add it wherever you want to. Maybe can be from the top or towards the left or right. Those things are totally fine. Okay, go ahead and add as many as you want. Okay, so that task is done. Now we have one final task. And for that you will need some white water color. So clean your brush properly and take out some white paint. We're going to add some more snow onto these trays. Just white water color is all you need. It doesn't need to be quash. But if you want to go with Kash, that is totally fine too. Take out some dry white paint on your brush and add some random shapes. They don't need to have any particular shape or size. You can add them however you like. They can be bigger or smaller. Try to go with an opaque paint, That's something you have to be careful about. Don't add a lot of water. Now, I'm going to add some snow along the shape of the tree as well. See that? Pick some paint. It can start by adding a line, then you can turn that into an irregular shape towards the inner side. Okay, It's a dry paint. I haven't added any water. Now, with the same, I'm going to add a few more patterns onto the tree. Now, let's go with the next one. It's a very simple step. Go with some white paint and add some shapes onto the tree wherever you like. See that you don't need to add a lot and make it too busy. Just add a few here and there. Now I'm going to add another tiny shape over here. That's it. Maybe we can add a few towards the top. This tip is something that makes your painting look complete. Don't skip it. Go with some dry white paint, it can be watercolor or add in a few random patterns here and there. Don't add a lot, we only need a letter mostly towards the bottom. See that? That's it. We can add a few over here. Okay, so that's a final result. I think it turned out really beautiful. Now, before we peel off the masking tape, there is one thing that we could do which is adding some shadow for the snow. Clean your brush and go. The really light tone of ultramarine blue. It's super light. And just add a few lines next to the tree where I have the snow. That's it. This step is totally optional. But if you're adding them go the real light tone anyways. But that we're done with our painting for D two. I'm absolutely in love with this painting. It is surely one of my absolute favorite from the tier collection. I hope you all had a fun time painting this winter landscape. If you haven't tried it yet, do give it a try. It's a wonderful painting and I'm very sure you will love the process. So here's a closer look. You can see the beautiful green textures and the snow. I just love that contrast. So give it a try if I get to try it and let me know if you liked it. 6. Day 3 - Snowy Mountains: Hello, dear friends, welcome to day three. Today we're going to paint a beautiful snowy mountain and a blue lake. It's a very simple, yet a beautiful painting. I'll start by explaining the colors you will need. You actually only need three colors. There isn't a lot of colors for this painting. It's a very limited color palette. The first color you will need is obviously indico, which is the color I'll be using for the sky and the snowy ground, for the mountains. I will use paints gray. Those are the two major colors you will need instead of indico. If you want to try ultramarine blue or any other blue, that's totally fine. I will swatch out in Tico. This one is from art philosophy. We'll use a lighter tone for the sky and a medium tone for the ground. Okay, that's my Tico. Now the second color you will need is pain screen. The one I'm using here is from Rembrandt for the mountain in the background, we will use a lighter tone. For the one on the fok ground, we will use a darker tone. That's a second color you can see for this mountains, a lighter tune. Then we have some darker tone here and also some textures. So that's our second color. Now there's one more color which is turquoise blue. We'll use turquoise blue to paint the lake. And we'll also use some Intico to add the platoons. All right, so that summarize the colors you will need for this painting. If you want to go for Bal Green or any other color for the lake, that's totally fine. Here's a closer look. We have Intico paint screen and turquoise blue. So keep all the colors ready and let's give it a try. Let's start by adding the sketch. The major element of this painting is some mountains. We have a background mountain and aground mountain. First I will add the horizon line which is almost at the center of my paper. Now I'm going to add a mountain, the one of the fue ground. It's a huge mountain. Okay? Now on the other side, I will add a shorter mountain. Now toward the center, I'm adding the background mountain over there. Okay? So those are the mountains. We have one in the background and two other ones in the foreground. Next I'm going to add an irregular line over here to show the ground. Now the space in between will be a lake. Okay, that's a sketch. Add that in, then keep all the colors ready on your palette. We will need indico and paint scray. Those are the two major colors you will need for this painting. The first thing I'm going to paint is the mountain in the background. For the ulta in the background, we're going to go with the lighter tone of paint scray. For the one in the ground, we will use more taco tones. Okay, I have paints gray already on my palette. Now I'm going to go with the lighter tone, go the really light tone of paints gray. And start applying a paint from the bottom and go towards the top. As you're reaching the tip of the mountain, leave some gaps in between. See that there can be some irregular shapes or some lines where you're applying the paint. Leave some gaps in between which will look like the snow. Okay, now onto this, I'm going to introduce some more taco tone, mostly at the bottom. The same brush, I'm picking some more paint and I'm adding that at the bottom onto that wet background. This is mainly to create some texture. Okay, so only at the bottom introduce some taco tone and smudge it a little if it's too much. I still have those lighter tones as well as the white spaces. I'm not covering them up, They are still there. Okay, that's a background. Maybe we can add some more paint, a taco tone towards the bottom. The rest is looking quite nice. Yeah, we have a lighter tone on the top and a medium tone towards the bottom. In between, we have left some space which is the paper white. Okay. That's a background mountain. Now, let that dry. In the meantime, we can start with a snowy ground. To paint the ground, I'm going to go with a medium tone off in Tico. First, you will have to start by applying coat of water. Go with any of your clean brush and apply a coat of water to the entire ground. The brush I'm using here is size number eight. You can go with any brush. It can be a flat brush or an arm brush. Apply an even coat of water. Okay, now I'm going to go with my other brush, this one size number six. Now I'm picking a medium tone of indico. I'm going to add some paint onto that bed background in a very random way. I usually add some medium tones at the bottom. Then I will gradually make it lighter towards the top. That's a normal rule that I follow. And here it's the same. I started with a medium tone and I have applied that at the bottom. Now I'm picking some lighter tone and I'm adding that to the background in a very random way. Okay. That's a background painting. A snowy ground is a very easy thing. You just have to leave some caps in between which is your paper white, and it will end up looking really beautiful. All right. Now let's leave it for drying. All right. Next task is to paint the sky. And for that asphalt, I'm going to use Indico. I'm not applying a coat of water. I will go with my bridge directly. It's a simple gradient wash. Start with the medium tone and make it slightly lighter towards a mountain. Don't make it too light go the similar tonal value, especially on the top. Then you can make it slightly lighter towards a mountain. You can apply some paint onto the bigger ones, that's totally fine, but don't add any paint onto the background mountain. You have to carefully follow the outline and fill up your paint. That's the main reason why I didn't apply any water to the background. Also, it's a very simple gradient wash. There is no clouds or any other complicated details. We can simply apply the paint onto the dry paper. There is no real need to apply any water. Okay, so that's how the sky has turned out. It's a simple gradient wash. I have used a medium turn on the top, then have made it slightly lighter towards a mountain. All right, Now we'll have to wait for that to try, and after that we can paint the full ground mountains. That is a major element in this painting. Okay, so let's take a short break and come back when this has tried completely, okay, my dear friend. So the background has tried completely and the colors are looking really smooth and soft. Now let's start with the Folk round mountain. For that as well, I'm going to use paints gray. For the background mountain, we use lighter tones. Now for this, we will use a darker tone of paint, Scra. Okay, go with any of your medium sized round brush. It can be six, or seven, or eight, or any similar number. That is something I want to show you before we start applying the paint towards the bottom, we will have to leave some cap, it's a paper white. As you're approaching the bottom, you will have to leave an irregular shape. It doesn't need to be in a very specific shape or anything, we just have to leave some paper white along the bottom. Make it look like there is some snow accumulated over here. Okay, When you're applying the paint, keep that in mind. I'm starting with a medium tone and I'm applying that onto the mountain from the top. Now as I'm going towards the bottom, I'm picking some water and I'm making it lighter. Now let's add them along the bottom in an irregular shape. See that? Simply leave some gap at the bottom. It doesn't need to look perfect. That's totally fine. Leave it the way however you can go with a similar tonal value. Okay, now let's add more paint towards the left side. I'm picking more water and I'm fixing this area. Okay, that looks fine. Now let's add more per tune with the same dish. I'm going to pick a much more taco tune and I will apply that onto the top. We will introduce more textures and details later. Don't worry a lot about perfection right now, It will turn out really beautiful. Okay, I will add some more paint on the top, then I will start with the Taco tune. The major element here is that paper white along the bottom. That is really important to create a character. Okay, that's the only thing you have to keep in mind. The rest can be total mess. Or we'll add more texture and deeper tones and we can make it look better. That's a base layer. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside. I will co with my size number six round press, I will pick a really taco tone of pin screen. Now I'm going to drop that into the background. From the top towards the bottom. Okay, the background is still wet. You can gently apply that into the background in a sloping manner. This will create an impression that the motin is sloping down only along the top. Introduce those taco tones. It seems like my background is not really wet, it is starting to dry with the same rish. I'm going to pick some water. I will gently smudge those rough lines to give it a better look. If your background is still wet, they will spread nicely. Min isn't minus starting to dry. I have to put some extra effort in smudging it, but you can see it is not very clean and nice. That's totally okay. It is actually good to be this way because it will add some texture into the background. Okay. Now let's add a bit more taco tone on the top. And after that I will this for trying, then we can start with the other mountain. Just on the top, I'm just starting some more taco toon in a sloping manner. On the top we have a really taco tone. Then it is turning into a medium tone and then into a lighter tone. Then along the bottom we have some clean white, which is the paper white. I really like the textures here it is looking silked. Now, once we add the final details, it will look complete. Now let's go to the next mountain here. For this, I'm going to start with the taco tone, then I will make it lighter towards the bottom. I'm not going to leave any wide caps before you start. Please be sure the other mountain has dried completely. Okay. I've just added some taco tone on the top in a very random way. Next I'm going to clean my brush with some clean water. I'm making the rest lighter. Okay. The brush I'm using here, size number six, Go with a medium size brush and make it lighter towards the bottom. Okay, that's a base layer. Maybe we could add some lines onto this. You're sing a taco tone just to create some texture. With the same brush, I'm picking a darker tone of paint. Scream. And I will add some sloping lines, just a few from the top, towards the bottom. Okay, so that's our second mountain. Now we'll have to lay this for drying, the base layer has dried completely. Next we're going to add some textures onto this mountain. So we'll just add some dry patterns onto either mountain. You sing a smaller brush, we need a darkuton of paint screen. So pick the paint on your brush, then tap it on a paper towel multiple times just to be sure the paint is dry. Now you see that tri paint, just keep on adding some textures onto the mountain. You can add them from the top towards the bottom. See that it is not a difficult technique. You just have to call tri paint. Once you have taken the paint, dab it on a paper towel or a cotton cloth just to be sure there's no water content. Then with that tripaint, keep on adding some textures. Add them from the top towards the bottom in a sloping manner. We need more patterns on the top compared to the bottom where you have that medium tones and darker tones added more patterns towards the bottom only add a few. The major element of this painting is these folk crown mountains. These models we have on either side, the task that we are doing right now, it is very simple. It is just a matter of adding those patterns. They don't need to be perfect. But then it can be a little time consuming. Take your time. There is no rush. Also, if you're not really sure about the dryness of the paint, you can try these patterns on a scrappiece of paper and then you can try them on your main painting. This way you'll be a lot more comfortable in adding them. Okay? Try it on a scrap piece of paper if you're not really sure. And then add them onto your mountains. You can see those beautiful textures. And adding them from the top to bottom in a sloping way, Just run your brush in such a direction when you're adding these patterns. Honestly, if you take a closer look at those patterns, it might look a little messy, but that's totally fine. That is part of the process. There's one more detail which we will add onto these mountains. And with that, and also with the lake, it will look a lot more beautiful. Just ignore that messy station in between and go ahead with adding your patterns. This one is all done and I'm loving those text shows. Let me show you a closer look. Here it is. You just have to get a hang of it. Once you know how to add these patterns, I'm very sure it will be a technique that you will love. You will use this technique every time you're painting a snowy mountain. Okay, Right now the background color is paints gray. You can also use Tico or ultramarine blue for your mountains. And then add these patterns using paints gray. We'll be trying a much more majestic snowy mountain in the coming days where we will use the same technique. In a way the second mountain is almost done. I'm really loving those patterns. Now there's one more thing to do. If you want to add more, you could do that, that's not a problem. Maybe you can add some more dagger tones on the top or some more along the bottom. Next, I'm going to add some patterns onto the mountain in the background. I have dipped my brush in some water and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Okay. Now with that medium tone, I'm adding some dry textures. So early we used a color which is really dark. Right now we're repeating the same step with a medium tone for this mountain, we don't need such darker patterns win. Some patterns which are medium tone say that it's exactly the same technique. The color is different, it's a medium tone and I'm not adding any patterns onto the top. We want to retain those paper white, which is the snow on the mountain. Try to retain most of the paper white and you can add those patterns towards the bottom. Okay. This one is nearly done. I don't want to make it too busy as it is in the background. I will only add a few. All right. That's a mountain in the background. You can see the weight has turned out. We have added some patterns to introduce texture, but they are not too prominent. And that's exactly how we need that. We are trying to create the depth using tonal values. We use lighter tones for the background and darker tones for the foreground. Next we're going to add some patterns along the bottom where we have the paper wide. I'm picking some more paint screen. Then I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel. I'm making sure it is dry. Now, let's add some patterns. I won't be adding a lot. I want to retain most of the paper wide, which is a snow. Actually only add a few here and there don't make it too crowded. Also, go with the smaller brush. We don't want those patterns to be too big. I'm carefully adding some patterns along the bottom. See that you can still see most of the paper white. I have only added a few smaller patterns. Okay, so that task is done. Now there's one more thing to do. Who put just adding some trees onto these mountains? When I say trees, they are not going to be detailed trees. It is just going to be some small lines for that as well. I'm using the same brush. Try to go with the smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. Now, just give it a watch. See that the trees are just some thin, delicate lines. You can add them close to each other along that slope. See that go the smaller brush or a brush with the pointed tip. Otherwise those lines will look too thick and prominent. You can add them in a very random way. At some places it can be a much more thicker cluster. In some places it can be just one or two. Now add them along the slope. The size is really important here. Please make sure to go the smaller brush or a detailing brush and add them in a similar way. Also, try to follow that sloop. That is also important will emphasize the slope of the mountain. You can see the way how I'm adding it using the tip of my brush. I'm just adding some tiny lines close to each other. They are not too long. At some places I'm making it shorter. Add them along the slope and try to go with different clusters. Some of them can be thicker and some of them can be just a few. Let's add a few onto the top. It's a very simple technique. It will add a beautiful texture and a finished look to your mountain. These are the trees far away. They don't need to be detailed. You only need to add a thin, delicate line. You can see the way how the mountain has transformed. I think it looks much more complete right now. Earlier it was looking like there is something lacking, but now it looks a lot more better. Let's add a few onto this corner, then we can add a few onto the other one over here. See that it's a very simple task. You can add it very quickly. You don't need to think a lot or put a lot of effort. That's how it has turned out. Now the next major task we have is to paint the lake. For that, I'm going to use some Cherquoise blue. If you want, you can use Cobalgreen Aspho to paint the base layer. I will use my silmush. I will apply a medium tone of chircoise blue onto the entire area first. Then gradually I will introduce some taco tone. Okay, let's apply chirqoise blue onto the entire area. As I mentioned earlier, you can go with cobalcreen Aspho if you want to go for a Patel green. Now let's apply the color. See that carefully. Apply that along the horizon, we have some paper white along the bottom. Don't cover that up. That's a snow. Okay, so that's a horizon. Now we can fill up the entire area. So far for this painting, we have only used Tico and paint screen. Both the colors are not really pleasant and vibrant. We're going to create that contrast using this color here. It's good to go with turquoise blue or cabal green or any similar color to bring in that contrast. Okay, that is turquoise blue. Now, with the same brush, I'm picking some indico. I will add that along the bottom. On the top I'm retaining turquoise blue. But along the bottom I will introduce some Intc. I'm carefully running my brush along the snowy ground. Then I'm just merging that paint into the background. First, apply turquoise blue or cabal green or any other color of a choice. Then go the darker blue preferably in Tico and add that along the bottom. I'm going to add some more inticu, I think the sera can be a little more dark. See that? Don't make it too dark. Go the similar tonal value. Add that along the bottom. If you want to change the shape of your crown, you could do that while you're applying the Dako tone. Now simply smug that into the background. I feel like the turquoise blue can be a little more brighter. I'm cleaning my brush and I'm switching back to turquoise blue and I'm adding that into the background. Okay, I think it looks much better now. Next I'm going to go with my smaller brush. I will keep this one aside. I will need to add some more lines onto the background the brush. I'm going with a size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush and pick some in Tico on your brush. Let's add some more lines onto the background. Add those lines while your background is still wet. This way they won't be too prominent. Also, try to go with a smaller brush so that the lines will be thinner. We won't be adding any extra details onto the lake. This is it in case you want to add some more paint, or if you want to add some more lines, this is the time, just in case if you want to make turquoise blue move brighter or if you want to add some more lines using Indico. This is your time. Go ahead and add them in. I'm happy with the result, so I'm going to leave it for trying. Okay, now we have one final task which is adding some tri patterns onto the ground for that as well. I'm going to use the same brush and I'm going with paint screen. I've taken some paint and I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. With that dry paint, I'm going to add some textures onto the ground. It's actually the same technique we tried for the mountain, but here we don't need to follow any pattern. You can add them just randomly onto the ground wherever you feel like. Try to go with smaller patterns and don't make it too crowded. Using a smaller brush will really help. You will end up getting smaller patterns with a smaller brush. Okay, now let's quickly add in some more patterns you can see they don't have any particular shape or size. Just pick some paint on your brush, then dab it on a paper towel. Once you feel like it is dry, go ahead and add these patterns. At some places they can be a bit more bigger, maybe you can go for a darker tone. Let me show you. See that this would make it look like there are some stones or something on the ground. Only at some places go the darker tone and add in some prominent patterns which are not too big. The size is really important. Okay, I'm nearly done, and I'm really loving the way it is looking, especially the color palette. Here's the final result. I cannot tell you how much I love this painting. I think that turquoise blue color made a difference. It made everything look so pleasant. Otherwise, it was a dull painting in a way. The final result is really nice. I hope you all enjoyed the process. Now, there is one thing you can do. If in case, if you feel like there's no snow on the mountain, you can go with some white paint and add them in with your smaller brush. It can be a white guache or white articular. This is only if you feel there is no enough snow. If you feel that's enough, you can just leave it. The waits. Okay. Now, let's peel off the masking tape and here's a gorgeous window landscape for the day. I just lah. Those mountains and a lake and the entry, you feel of this painting, give it a try for here to try it. I'm very sure you're going to love the process and the final result. Thank you so much for joining. I will see you soon for the next painting. 7. Day 4 - Northern Lights: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day four. Today we're going to try a fun, easy, and a simple Northern lights. It's a quick one. You can do this in less than 15 minutes. I have used violet, turquoise, blue, and cobalcreen. Then for the snowy mountain, I have used two colors in Tico and paint screen. Okay. Anyway, I'll quickly splash out the colors for you, then we can start with the painting. I already spoke about the colors. If you want to change the colors or if you want to add one more, that's totally fine. You can make your Northern lights more beautiful. I'm starting with the first color which is violet. This one is from Shinhan. It is permanent violet. You can go with any violet of your choice, or you can mix and create your own violet. The next color I have here is Chirquoise blue. This one is from white lights. If you don't have Chirquoise Blue, replace that with any other blue of your choice. It could be Prussian blue, Cabal blue, ultramarine blue, or any blue. Okay, that's my second color. Now there is one more color, which is my most fubrate cabal cream. I love this color combination. It will create a beautiful contrast. That's the beauty of Northern lights. So whenever you're choosing colors to paint Northern lights, always choose one darker color and lighter color to create a contrast. Then you can add one or two extra colors. Now the next color I have here is Ing for the base layer of the Snowy Mountain. I'll use a medium tune. Then onto that, when it dries, I will add some texture using paint screen, that's a last color. Along with these colors, I'll also be using some white articular to add some stars onto the sky. It can be white gach or white articular. Both will work. Okay. So that summarize all the colors you will need for this gorgeous Northern lights. Now it's time for you to try. Now for this painting. I have fixed my paper onto a board, not onto my table. It can be any board or even a magazine. We'll have to take it and we'll have to turn it around so that the colors will mix into each other by its own. Okay, fix your paper onto a board or any surface that you can lift. We won't be blending the colors with a brush. Once we have put the colors onto the paper, we will turn it around and we will let the colors spread into each other by its own, creating a very natural blend. Okay, fix your paper onto a board or onto a magazine or anything that you can turn around. Now, we can start with a sketch. We just need to add a mountain. That's all it can go with, any shape at the center. I'm making it a put higher towards the left. It is a bit sloping down. Okay, that's a sketch. As we're painting, we can add all the shadows and all the deeper tones. Now we can start painting. Keep all the colors ready. Before you start, we will need violet, turquoise, blue, and bal green. Once you have the colors ready, go with a clean brush and start applying coat of water onto the entire sky. We just need an even coat of water. Don't add a lot. Run a brush back and forth multiple times just to be sure the coat of water is even. Don't add any water onto the mountain. Let actus. All right. My sky is evenly wet and I have the colors ready on my palette. Now to apply the colors, I'm going to go with a round brush. You can go with the round brush or a flat brush. Any brush will work. This is the brush I'm going with. First, I'm making sure it is clean. Now, I'm starting off with the violet. This one is permanent violet. I'm adding that onto the top right corner. That's a color, it's intense. This is the darker color we're using. Go with a similar tonal value and apply that on the wet background. You can decide on the way how we want to apply the paint. You don't need to follow the same shape and all that. Okay, that is violet. Now I'm going to clean my brush. I'm going with the second color, over turquoise blue. I'm adding that right next to violet. I'm not really blending the colors. I'm just applying that wet paint onto the wet background. Even turquoise blue, you can add it however you like. It doesn't need to be in the same shape. I'm going to add a bit more. I'm pushing that paint down. Okay. Now onto the remaining area, I'm going to go with my third color, which is Coval Green. I'm going to simply apply that color onto the background. I'm following the outline of the mountain and I'm gently adding that beautiful color onto the sky. You can push and pull the color into each other and turn it however you like. See that that's a background. We have applied violet turquoise blue, and coval green. Now I'm going to turn around my pod. You can see the way the paint is floating. This will create a very natural blend. We're not going to add any extra paint, we're just going to make use of the paint in the background. Maybe we can fix the bottom part A t. There isn't enough paint here. It is not floating. I'm just adding some more paint. Or you can just push and pull the color you have in the background already. Okay, The background looks clean. We have applied all the colors. Now you can turn around and tilt your paper in all direction so that the paint will float into each other. If needed, you can push your paint at some places like this to create a contrast. It would make your sky look even more beautiful. Now, again, tilt it. You can tilt it in any direction, will create a very beautiful blend. You can already see the way the colors are looking. We have a darker tone on the top, a medium tone at the center, and a really bright tone at the bottom. Okay, I really love the color combination. It's one of my favorite color to paint, Northern Lights. You can see that very smooth and soft blend here. Keep tilting and turning around your paper until you're happy with the rest. If you're happy with the blend, you can just leave it actus and let it dry. Okay. That's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with the blend and the colors, but there is a bit of paint missing on this corner. I will just add that back in, then we can leave it for trying. It took only less than five to 6 minutes to paint this entire sky. And you can see the weight has turned out, it's a beautiful sky. If you're ready to try it, give it a try and make sure you're going to love the results. Okay? Now let's leave it for trying. All right, so the sky has dried completely. Now, the next task is to paint the Snowy mountain. For that, you will need two colors. Paint Screy and Tico. For the base layer, you will only need in Tico, apply some shadows to a wet background. When that is dry, we can introduce some tri textures using paints gray. Okay, I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the mountain. For that I'm using a size number eight round rush. Carefully apply water along that outline and make it evenly wet. Be careful not to add any water into the sky. Okay, we have applied a coat of water onto the tire mountain now with the same rush, I'm going to pick a little of Indico, more like a medium tone. I'm going to apply that onto the right side of the mountain from the tip. I'm going to drag my brush down. Say that if it's too wet, dap it on a paper towel. Otherwise the paint will start spreading a lot. It won't stay at one place. Go to the paint that is not too watery because our background is wet. Now apply that pain from top towards the bottom in a sloping manner. We can add a bit more towards the left side. I'm not going to add much. I'm going to add more towards the right. You can add that however you want when you're adding them, try to leave a cap in between. We don't need to fill that entire area. Okay, so right now the color is a bit more darker than the color I used earlier. You can go with different tonal values to make it look more beautiful. Now using a clean brush, I'm just merging it to make it look a bit more softer. Okay, so I'm pretty happy with the right side. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add a few more lines towards the left. Not a lot, just a few using a lighter tone. Okay, we can add one or two lines onto the side. They don't have any particular size or thickness. I'm just randomly adding them on the wet background. I feel like adding some more paint at the center, mostly towards the right. I'm just adding that in. You can see the way how I'm adding it, it's super random. Okay, that looks fine. Now, take a look at your painting. If you want to add some more lines or if you want to introduce some more shadows, you could do that. The basic idea here is to add more medium tones on the right side and retain most of the paper white on the left. Okay, maybe we can add a few more lines here. I don't want to overdo it, so I'm going to call it T. Okay, so that's a big layer now. Let's leave it for trying. After that, we can introduce the tri texts. The base layer has tried completely. I'm pretty happy with the result. We have some medium tones on the right and lighter tones on the left. Now, before we start adding the final details onto the mountain, I think we can drop in some stars. And for that I'm going to use some white aticlar. It can be white aticlar or white quash. Both will work. You'll have to go with a thick consistency without adding a lot of water. No matter whether you're using white quash or white aticlark, I'm just picking some paint on my brush. I'm using a size number six brush. Co with a medium size brush. Don't use a bigger one. Now, before I start, I'm going to cover the mountain using a paper towel. Okay? Just place anything on top of the mountain so that we won't splatter any stars onto the mountain. Now, using other brush, I'm just going to tap on my brush to create the stars. Pick in paint on your brush. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel, otherwise the size will be too big. Now tap on your brush and create the stars. I'm adding more on the top part where I have violet over here towards the bottom, it might not be really visible. Let's focus on the top part, where we have darker and medium tones. You can add in as many as you want. Now with the same rush, I'm going to add some bigger stars, which means some picker tarts. You can also use a white schepen for this. Just keep on adding some stars wherever you like. Again, I'm adding mostly on the top because towards the bottom it won't be visible as the color is quite light compared to the top. Okay, just adding a few here and there. If you wish to add more stars, if you want to splatter more, go ahead and do that. It's totally up to you. For me, I don't have a lot of darker tones. Mostly it is medium tone and lighter tone. That's why I'm adding only on the top. Now, I will add a few towards the bottom. That's it, That's my beautiful sturry, not lights. Next we can add the final textures onto the mountain. For that, I'm cleaning my brush. I'm going with paint screen. Pick enough of paint on your brush, I'm using a Taco tone, then tab it on a paper towel multiple times just to be sure the paint is dry. Now, with that dry paint, I'm just adding some dry textures. I'm just scratching my pressure on the paper to create some tri texture. See that? I'm adding them mostly on the right side where we have the medium tones. Just focus on the area where you have applied indico. On top of it, you can add your T texture, maybe you can try adding those textures on a scrap piece of paper. Once you're sure about the consistency, you can apply them on your painting. It's just a matter of dabbing your brush on a paper towel multiple times until that water content is gone. Then with that tri paint, keep adding some random textures onto the mountain. It's a very easy technique, you just have to get a hang off it. Once you get a hang off it, you're going to use it a lot. It's a beautiful and simple technique to create a snowy mountain. You can clearly see those tri textures, They don't have any particular shape or size or order randomly. Adding them go in a similar way. There is nothing much to think about. Go ahead and add them in. You just have to have tri paint on your brush. That's the only thing. Okay, So that's the right side. I'm pretty happy with it. Now, to make your snowy mountain more captivating, you can add some more thicker patterns at some places. See that? Only at some places you can go for a thicker pattern. Okay. But don't make it too busy and crowded, you only need these patterns in between. Now, in a solar way, I'm going to add a few patterns on the left side, but on the left I'm not going to add a lot. I will just add a few here and there. Once you've taken the paint, p it on a paper towel, then add in some dry textures. See that? Compare to the right side, I'm adding only a few here. We don't have much shadows. It is mostly snow. I'm not showing any rocky texture. Okay, it is all covered in snow. Let's add a few more towards the bottom. You can try experimenting the same technique in multiple ways. If you want a very rocky mountain, you can add more textures and leave out only a little white. If you want a super snowy mountain without much rocky texture, you can only add a few here and there. You don't need to go for any thicker pattern. Okay, try experimenting the same in different ways. This will really help you in your future paintings. I, the weight has turned out. I will add a few more towards the left side. With that, it will be done. Take a step back and look at your painting. If you feel like you need to add more, go ahead and do that. If you're happy with the result, you can call it done. There is no need to add more patterns because I'm doing it. Okay. I will just add a few more because I really don't want to make it too busy and crowded. I love the weight has turned out. Okay. That's it. That's car, snowy mountain and Northern lights. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape and have a closer look at our painting. Here you can see the beautiful textures we have created. You just have to start with the lighter tone of indico and add the shadows first. Then onto that you can introduce your tri textures. It's a very simple trick. Give it a try if I get to try it. It's a technique that I use very often to paint snowy mountains. Once you give it a try, you will understand how easy it is and you will surely use that in your future paintings. Okay, here is our painting for the day. I cannot tell you how much I love this painting. It took us less than 15 minutes and you can see the result. It's a gorgeous painting. Give it a try either with the same color combination or a different color combination of your choice, and let me know if you liked it. 8. Day 5- Winter Evening: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day five. Today's painting is a simple, a gorgeous winter evening. First, I will introduce you to the colors by looking at the painting itself. I think you can guess most of the colors. The major color I have used for this painting is violet. You can see that for the sky and the snowy ground. Then we have a yellowish orange and then some clouds, I have used yellowish orange for the ground, Asp. This is the violet I'll be using. It is permanent violet. And this one is the yellowish orange. It's camm, yellow orange. Okay. Now, for the sky along with those two colors, I will also be using some red. I will just add a few clouds towards the bottom. The first color you will need is violet. You can go with any kind of violet you have caught. If you don't have any, you can mix and create your own. The second color is yellowish orange. This one is camm, yellow, orange. You can go with any yellowish orange or you can use yellow or orange as it is. The third color you will need is red. This one is pyal red. You can go with crimson, or scarlet, or vermalion. If you don't have pyal red, we'll use a little to add the clouds. Okay, Those are the colors you will need for the sky. We'll start with violet, then towards the horizon, we will introduce yellowish orange. Then onto that, we will add some clouds using red. Now the next color you will need is brown. It can be brown or Bernina for the tree as well as for the landscape. In the background, I'll be using brown and also some paints gray. This one here is permanent brown from art philosophy. You can go with burn, sina or brown. Now the last colour, you will need a paint scree for the tree. For us to add some deeper toons and some final texture on the ground will use paint scree. Alright, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. You can either go the same color combination or a different color combination of your choice. Okay, now let's give it a try. I already have my paper ready here. First, I'm going to start by adding the sketch. We'll need to add the horizon line is a bit below the center of the paper. Next, I'm going to add the tree. For now, I'm simply adding a rough shape. All the branches and the details we can add as you paint for now, just located. You can add it wherever you want. It doesn't need to be the same spot. Okay, that's a sketch. It's a pretty simple sketch. Now, before you start, keep all the colors ready on your palette. We're going to start with the ground for that. I'm going to use yellowish orange and violet first. I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the ground. The first color I'm going to go with is cadmium yellow orange. Before you pick the color, make sure your brush is clean. Now let's go with the lighter tone of cadmium yellow orange. It can be any yellowish orange or it can be yellow or orange acts with a lighter tone. Okay, that's the color I'm going with now. I'm going to simply add some lines onto the wet background. Using this color, you can see the color I'm using, It's a medium tone. Now simply add some lines onto the background leaving some cap in between. Don't fill up the entire area. Okay, now I'm going to quickly dry this layer using a blue trier. It is not necessary to use a blue trier just speeding up the process. You can either leave it for drying or if you have a blue dryer or a heat tool, you can use it to speed up the process. Okay, That's a base layer now onto this, going to apply another layer of water and then I will go with violet. Okay? So it looks like that has tried completely. Now, before you go with the next step, you will have to make sure your background has tried completely. Once you're sure it has dried completely, you can apply a cod of water. Be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure. Okay, Now I'm picking a medium tone of violet. I'm using a size number six brush here. Go with any of your medium size brush. And I'm dabbing that on a paper towel just to be sure the paint is not too watery. Okay, Now akin, I'm going to add some lines using violet. It can be super random. There's no particular order or anything you need to follow adding some lines onto the wet background. Now, when you're adding violet lines, don't cover up that yellow color in the background. Leave that at some places. Okay. You can add them on top of it, that's not a problem. But don't cover up that entirely. Okay. That's how it has turned out. Now I'm going to pick a bit more Pritt on a violet and I will add in a few more lines. I feel the lines I added earlier, they were very dull. I'm just adding a few more to the same places I have cleaned my brush with a clean brush. I'm just smudging them to give it a softer look. Okay. That's a background in case if you want to add some more lines, you could do that. Maybe next to the tree or anywhere, you can introduce some more lines, maybe we can add a few more. I feel like I should have added some more yellowish orange into the background. It is not really visible anyway, never mind. That's how the background has turned out. Now, we can lay this for drying if you want to speed up the process. You can use a blow dryer or you can just leave it aside for some time and let it dry naturally. Okay. So that's a snowy ground. The only thing I regret is not adding more yellowish orange. Anyway, that's done. Now let's go with the sky. Can use the same colors, violet, yellowish orange, and red. Keep all the colors ready on your palette before you start. And once you have them ready, apply a code of water onto the entire sky. We'll go with violet and yellowish orange first. Then onto that background, we will add some clouds using red. That's a plan. Okay, so the background is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to use my flat brush. But before that I will have to take out two more colors which is brown and paints gray. We'll have to add those landscape while the sky is still wet. We'll need these two colors as well. Okay? Keep all the colors ready before you start. You will lean violet, yellowish orange, then red. And along with that you'll also need some brown or burn sena. Then some paints gray as well. Okay, now I'm applying the paint. Using my flat brush. I'm starting with a medium tonal violet. You can use a flat brush or a rum brush. It doesn't matter. Now, let's apply that color on the top of the sky. Okay? Go with a similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. We want the sky to be really intense. Okay, That is violet. Now, I'm going to clean my brush. I will make it lighter towards the bottom. Slightly lighter. Okay. That's a half of the sky. Now, for the remaining, I'm going to introduce yellowish orange. I'm going to add some more violet on the top, then I will switch to my second color. Okay, that seems fine. Now I'm cleaning my brush. I'm going with my second color, which is yellowish orange. I will start from the bottom, then I will go towards the top. This one is more like a yellow. You can use yellow acetus or it can go for orange. Okay. Now, as you're reaching violet, make sure to make the color lighter. Because these two are complementary colors on the color wheel, they might create a muddy mix. Okay, so that's a base layer. Now to add the clouds, I'm going to go with my medium sized drawn brush. Now go with some red or vermilion or scarlet, any color you prefer. If your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Now I'm going to simply add some lines onto the bottom part using the red color. It is just some random lines. I'm not going to make the sky too dramatic, I just need some red clouds mostly towards the bottom. Okay, that's it. That's a sky. If you want to add more clouds, you could do that. Maybe you can go with a much more brighter color. I'm using a medium tone here. I don't want to make it too intense. Okay. Now I'm going to quickly clean my brush and I will dab that on a paper towel with that clean brush. I'm just merging the paint to give a softer look. Okay, that's a sky. I think it's a very lovely color combination. Now we have to quickly switch to brown. It can be brown or bird sin and got the taco tone. Okay, pick that color on your brush. Now simply add some shapes along the horizon. We are dropping the paint on a wet background, go the paint that is not too watery. Otherwise they will spread a, it will be very difficult to control the way they are spreading. Once I've taken the paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel just to make sure it is not super watery. Okay. Now, simply add in a shape. At some places it can be higher, at some places you can make it a bit lower. Okay? You can add them however you want. There is nothing to worry here. The only thing is you will have to add them while the background is still wet. You have to be a bit quick in case if your paper is drying out. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now the same brush, I'm going to pick some taco tone. Let's go with paint scray and let's add that towards the bottom. Okay, On the top we have a medium tone of brown and towards the bottom we are making it Taco. Add it quickly before your background dries. Okay, You simply have to add that at the bottom, it will start spreading into the background, leaving a beautiful texture. These are the trees and plants which are far away. As we're applying them on a wet background, it will have a blurry look. And that's exactly what we need. Now in case, if you want to make it a bit more higher at some places, you could do that. For me, my background is still wet. I'm thinking of modifying the shape a little on the left. I'm just making those plants and trees a bit more higher. Maybe on the right I will do the same. But if you're happy with your result or if your background is drying out, don't add any more paint. Leave it the way it is. If it doesn't spread into the background, it won't have that blurry look. It won't look that nice. Just leave it the way it is if your background has almost dried up. With this step, we're actually done with a major part of our painting. Now the only remaining task is to add the tree and also some texture on the ground. Okay, let's leave this for drying so that we can add the final details. All right, so that is right, now it's time to add the tree and for that I'm going to go with the darker brown. I already have some brown and paints gray here. So I'm just going to mix them together and I will add my tree. The brush I'm using here, a size number six. Go with any of your smaller brush or a medium size brush. With a smaller brush or a detailing brush, you'll be able to add those lines very crisp and thin. Okay. Go with any of your smaller brush. When you're adding the smaller branches for this tip, I think you can use a medium brush, that's not a problem. Okay. You can go with any shape that you prefer. You can see the way how I'm adding it. That's a major tree trunk, it is quite thick. I'm adding that in an irregular way to make it look more realistic. Okay. So that's a basic shape. Now onto that I will add more branches, but before that I will fix the other one as well. It's more like an irregular. That's a basic shape. Now either with the same brush or a pointed brush, you can add the remaining branches. Add in as many branches as you want, and add them in all direction. Go in an organic way. Don't make them all look the same. You can add some onto the right, some onto the left. Add them in different thickness and different shapes and sizes. Okay, so that's my tree. Here's a closer look in case if you want to add more branches or if you want to modify the shape, you could do that. Maybe you can add one more tree. Okay, so that's my tree. Now let's lay this for trying. In the meantime, we can add some texture on the ground. I have some paint on my brush and dabbing that on a paper towel. For the next step, I need some dry texture. I'm using that leftover paint. Okay. Now that dry brush, I'm going to add some texture on the ground right next to the tree. Okay, so we need a darker brown. Once you have taken the paint, dab it on a paper towel, and we have to introduce some dry textures on the ground. Once you have that dry paint on your brush, you can just randomly add them on the ground. You don't need to put a lot of effort here. They can be super random, abandoning them mostly next to the tree. I won't be adding much towards the bottom, but you can add them however you want. It is just that you have to go with dry paint and to strap them randomly on the ground. Okay, so let's add in a few more. So towards the bottom, I'm not adding much. My major focus is the area next to the tree. And you can see that textures have achieved here. Add them in a similar manner, focus on the area which is closer to the tree, onto the remaining area. I just add in a few here and there. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now we have one more task left for which I'm going to go with some white articular. I'm cleaning my brush now. The task is to introduce some white texture onto the tree to give it a snowy character. I will squeeze out some white articular onto my palette. It could be white articular or white quash. We only need a little. Okay. I have taken out some paint. I need to try an opaque paint. I'm not adding much water. I'm picking up the paint directly. If it's water, you can tap it on a paper towel before you start. It is actually the same technique that we use for the ground, but here we have a definite shape to follow. Previously it was the ground. You can just add them on a random way. But here we need to follow the shape of the tree. Okay. That's only different? Yeah, the color results are different. Okay. Just follow the shape of the tree and add some white texture onto the shape. It doesn't need to be a continuous line. You can add that in a very random way. You can skip some places and add some textures or some line onto some of the areas. Okay, for the branches, I'm just adding a broken line onto one of the side, onto the major tree trunk. I will add some more. Okay. It doesn't need to be too prominent and you don't need to put a lot of effort. Simply add a dry texture onto the tree. On the top where we have a light to tone in the background, it won't be really visible. That's okay. Leave it as it is. There is no need to fix it or clean it. We just need some white text shows here and there. That's all. Or if you feel it is not really necessary, you can skip this step completely. Okay. That's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with it. I like that snowy character. Okay. With that, we are done with our painting. Maybe if you want to, you can add some birds. You can add a group of three or four birds flying off to their nest. Also, if you want to, you can add some more branches onto the tree. I only have added a few, so in case you feel like adding some branches, go ahead and do that. Okay. Now I'm going to peer up the masking tape. It was a really simple and a quick painting and I think it turned out pretty decent. I hope you all had a wonderful time painting this finire evening. Give it a try for you to try it, and let me know if you liked it. 9. Day 6 - Dreamy Sunset: Hello dear friends. Welcome to day six. Today we're going to try a very simple, yet a beautiful winter evening. You can see that car, just sky. First. Let me introduce you to the colors, then we can give it a try. Okay? I will be using three colors for the sky. The first colors, royal blue. You can go with any blue of your choice. It doesn't need to be royal blue. Go with Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, or any other blue. I have used this color also for the snowy crowd. For the sky and the snowy crowd, the color have used as royal blue. And that's fus color, so we just need a bold blue. It can be Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, Plo blue, or any blue of a toys. Okay, now the next color you will need is a pastel pink and a pastel orange. I already have a Patel pink with me, but for this painting, I'm choosing to create pastel pink by mixing some red and white together. Same goes with orange as well. I will just use this color and along with that I will also add some white. The color you see here is Camm, yellow, orange. I'm mixing that with some white to create a pastel orange. Pastel colors are very common these days. You get almost all the colors in a pastel version, but you can easily create them by adding some white water color. Now the color you see here is spiral, red and white. I think I will need some more white. This one looks really dark. Depending on the amount of white you're adding into your color, it can be a little darker or lighter. I'm picking some white from my palette and I'm mixing that with red. That's a color I have created the simple mix of red and white. I have a very similar color with me, which is called brilliant pink. This one is very similar to the color we created. If you look at the pigment number, it says it's a combination of a red pigment and a white pigment. That is exactly what we did here. If you don't have pastel pink, it just mix them white with crimson or carmine, or any red. Those are the three colors we'll use for the sky. Now, the next color you will need is in Tico. We'll use Indico for the mountain. We will need two more colors, which is pins, gray and brown. We'll use pinscrey to add the deeper tones for those trees. You'll see on the right side, the tree is far away. These ones here. Okay. So for that I will be using brown and paints gray. All right, So that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need blue. It can be any blue of your choice. Then we will need a pitel orange and a pitel pink. And then you will also need Indico paint spray and brown. If you don't have brown, just go with burn Sena. All right. So I have my paper ready here. Now I'm going to start with the sketch. The sketch is really simple. All you have to add is a straight line, which is the horizon. Now you will need to add a simple mountain. It's a very basic shape. Now on the right, we will add some trees. As to paint, that's a sketch simple right? Now, before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready. I already have royal blue, Camm, yellow orange, and pyal red. But along with these, I will also need some white to turn that into a Basel color. Before I start, I'm going to squeeze out some white water color. I will add a little here now for red and also a bit for blue. Okay, These are the colors you will need before you start with the sky blue, yellowish, orange, and red. If you have Basel colors with you, you can use them directly. For example, if you have a Basel Pink, you can use it directly or a pastel orange. Okay. In that case, you don't need to mix and create that. I can. Now I'm going to start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. I will leave out the mountain and I will add water only onto the sky. Okay, so my sky is even wet. We only need a shiny coat of water, fits a lot. Run your brush I can. And make sure it is an even coat. Now I'm keeping this brush aside and I'm switching to my round brush. I'm starting with pastel orange and I will add that towards the right side. Go with any yellowish orange and mix that with a bit of white. Okay. That's a color I'm going with now. I will add that towards the right side. That's a color, it's more like a pastel yellow than orange. Now, right after this, I'm going to go with a pastel pink. Okay, let's clean our brush. The same way how I created the paint earlier, I'm going to make some red and white together to create a pastel pink. Now let's add that onto the sky right next to Patel yellow. The brush I'm using here is size number six. It's not a bigger brush. With a smaller brush, I have better control. Okay, now I'm going to clean my brush again. Before we go the next color, let's fix this area with a clean brush. I'm just mudging the paint. Maybe we can add a much more brighter orange here to make our sky look more interesting. Always make sure your paint is not too watery. If it's too watery, it will spread a lot. So just dab your brush on a paper towel if you feel like your brush is too watery. Okay. So that is yellowish, orange and pink. The color I started with was really light. I made the color a bit more brighter. Okay. Now, next we have to clean our brush and we'll have to go with blue. I'm also going with a bigger brush. I'm keeping my size number six aside, and I'm using size number eight. Now let's start with the darker blue. And you can see the color here. I'm applying that on the top. Now as you're about to reach pink, add some white with blue and create a Bacl blue over here. Use that color. We have a dark blue on the top. We have made it lighter using some white. You can see here, I haven't blended the colors with the same brush. I'm going to add some streaks onto the sky. Dab it on a paper towel if you feel there's a lot of paint on your brush. Now, let's try to gently blend it. Along with that, I will also be adding some streaks. Okay, Just a few streaks. One or two. Not more than that. I don't want to cover up the empty or pink and orange we have in the sky. Just add one on the right and one on the left and that's it looks like the top part is really watery. So I'm just going to run my brush one last time to settle the paint. Okay. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to add one or two streaks onto the sky. We haven't added them. I will add one here, maybe another one on the right. Just one is fine. That blue line is really crucial for your sky. Otherwise, our sky will be quite plain and empty. It is just a blend of yellow, orange, and blue. Don't keep adding that line. Add that where you have pink, it will look like a beautiful soft cloud. Okay, That's how the sky has turned out. Now let's leave it for trying. All right, that's a sky. I'm really, really happy with the result. The colors are very soft and beautiful. Next we're going to paint the snowy crowd. For the snowy crowd, you can either go with Intico or the same blue you used earlier. I still cannot believe how easily we painted a gorgeous sky. That blue cloud made a lot of difference. Anyway, let's start with a snowy crowd. I have some indico on my palette and also some royal blue. I'll go the mix of both. Anyways, I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the entire crowd. We only need a shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my medium sized drum brush. This one is size number six and I'm starting off with Indico. I will apply that at the bottom. Towards the top, I will use mostly royal blue. Again, make sure your paint is not too watery. Now, I will apply that along the bottom, towards the horizon line. I'm not going to add much paint. I'm adding some lines only at the bottom. They're quite thick. While I'm adding them, I'm leaving some cap in between. That is really important when you're painting snow. I feel indico is really dull. I should have started with royal blue itself. Anyway, for the rest of the lines, I'm using dry blue. You can use Indico if you prefer that, or ultramarine blue, or pressing blue or any other blue of your toys. Anyways, I have added some lines. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel with a clean brush. I'm just merging those lines to give it a softer look. Otherwise, the paint will spread a lot. You can see how it is spreading already. When you run your clean, dry brush, you're actually controlling the weight of spreading. Okay. That's how it has turned out. Maybe I can add a few more lines, not a lot. And I'm adding them only at the bottom. On the top, I need that paper white. When your paintings know, it is really important to leave paper white in between. And you can clearly see the way how I have added some lines in between, there is some paper white. Okay, That's how it has turned out. Now let's leave it for trying. It has dried beautifully and I'm just loving the colors here. Anyways, the next step is to paint the snowy mountain. For that, you will need two colors, which is Indico and paints gray. I'm starting with Indico with my size number six ton brush. I'm picking a taco ton of Intico. I will add that along the top part of the mountain with this color. I'm going to define the shape. That's a color I'm going with, it is pretty dark. Add the shape of your mountain using a Taco ton of Inticoka. I'm just adding few lines as well. Now I'm going to wash out the paint with a wet brush. I'm just making it lighter towards the bottom. Start with the darker tone, you can add the sheep and just some lines onto the background. Then go with the wet brush and make the color lighter towards the bottom. Now I'm adding a street line along the horizon, then I will fill up the rest. Okay, that's a footstep, we can add some more taco tone on the top. I'm adding them as some sloping lines. All right. That's a base layer. We have only used Indico so far. It's a taco tone on the top and a lighter tone towards the bottom. Next, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray using this color. I'm going to introduce some more taco tones onto the top just to create more texture in the mountain. Right now it doesn't look that attractive. Let's introduce some more taco tone and make it more carceous. Okay, I'm picking some more paint screen. I'm just adding some lines from the top towards the bottom using a taco tone. I'm adding them in a sloping manner just to create an impression that the mountain sloping tone add them only on the top. And don't add a lot, we only add a few lines. We want to retain those medium tones and lighter tones. Okay, now I'm going to clean my brush. The clean brush, I'm just merging the paint again to give it a softer look. If your brush is to water, you dap it on a paper towel before you start. Okay? Now just push and pull the color into each other to give it a softer look. Also, you can fix the horizon line if it's not straight, okay? I'm just simply pushing and pulling the color into each other to create a cargous texture. Here's the result we have achieved. It isn't a complex task. First, you have to introduce some in Tico and make it lighter towards the bottom. Then while your background is still wet, introduce some paints gray to add more textures. Okay, that's how it has turned out. The next step is to paint those trees on the right side. For that, I'm going to go with brown and also some paint screen. You can use brown or burn sena. Both the colors will work. I've taken out some paint on my palette. Now these trees are really far. You don't need to put a lot of effort. I'm not going to define each and every tree. I will just introduce a big random shape. Let me show you using the tip of my brush, I'm just going to add some lines close to each other. The color I'm going with is brown. I'm simply adding some lines, some thick and thin lines. Some of them can be taller and some of them can be shorter. Just add them in a very random way. Okay, now towards the bottom, you can introduce a darker tone. It's a very simple shape. All you have to do is add some lines close to each other using brown and towards the bottom introduce paints, gray and fill up that shape. The brush I'm using here is size number six and it has got a really nice pointed tip. It would be a good idea to go with any of your smaller brush, especially when you're adding that lines. When you're filling up the bottom, you can go with any brush, it doesn't matter. But for those lines you're adding on the top to make them look like trees, it has to be thin. Okay. Maybe we can add some more lines using the tip of my brush. I'm just adding some more lines only onto the top. See that? It's a very simple step. These trees are really far. You don't need to define them, really. You just need to add a basic shape. This brush is one of my most favorite. It's very versatile. I use it for different detailing and it has got a pointed to pass in a way. That part is done now with the same brush, I'm going to add some trees onto the mountain. In a similar way, it is just going to be some lines close to each other. I'm picking some paints gray and I'm going to continue those trees towards the left. Making them shorter. I'm not going to continue in. The same size on the right, they are tall. As we're taking them towards the left, I'm making it shorter. I hope you guys are able to see the size now. Just keep on adding those lines on the right. They are very tall. The ones I'm adding right now are quite short. Okay. Just add some tiny lines close to each other. They will look like the pine trees far away. I will add a few more. After that I will add similar trees on the mountain. Okay? Go through any of your smaller brush or a brush of the pointed tip so that you can add some thin, delicate lines. All right? So those are the trees along the horizon. Now I'm going to add some teeny tiny lines onto the mountain. I will just make these trees taller so we have a hierarchy. Okay, That's done. Now let's add the trees on the mountain with the tip of my brush. I'm just adding some teeny tiny lines onto the mountain in a sloping manner. We have tried a similar detail on our third painting. It is exactly the same detail. Add the trees in a sloping line, This will make it look like the mountain a sloping down. The major thing here is the size. You have to go with a smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip, should not be too thick. You can see the size, They are super tiny. Go in a similar way, don't make it too prominent. Okay, that's done. If you want to add some more trees, you could do that. Or if you want to continue that trees till the left end, even that is fine. I'm going to stop it here. I'm pretty happy with it now with the same brush, I'm going to add some dry textures onto the ground. I'm just grabbing my paper towel, I'm dabbing my besh on it just to be sure the paint is really dry. Now, with that dry paint, I'm just adding some texture on the ground, mostly on the top right below those trees. I'm adding some dry texture. They don't need to be that prominent, go the pain that is really dry. You can see the way how they have turned out go in a similar way. Maybe you can try adding them on a scrap piece of paper and then add them on your painting. This way you can be really sure how the patterns are going to turn out. My major focus is the top part, where we have the lighter tone. I mean, the area which is falling right underneath the tree over the bottom. I'm not adding a lot. I will just add a few. See those patterns. My pressure is super dry, there is no water content on that. That's the reason why I'm getting those dry textures before you go ahead bush on a paper towel multiple times until you're sure it is really dry. Okay, I'm nearly done adding those patterns. Maybe we can add a few more towards the top, or maybe we can stop to take a look at your painting. If you feel like you have added enough of patterns, just stop it there. Or if you feel like you want to add some more, go ahead and hand them in. Okay, that's it. I think I have added enough. I don't want to overdo it. I'm going to call it done. Okay, that's how it has turned out. I'm really happy with the result, especially the sky. Now, there's one more task for that. I'm going to go with a smaller brush. This one is size number two. I'm going with a Taco Brown. I'm mixing some brown and paint screen. Okay, for this step, you will need a brush with a pointed tip. We're going to add some grassy pattern on the ground. This step is completely optional. Maybe you can have a look and decide whether you want to add them or not. If you're adding them, go with any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush. We need some thin grassy pattern. It will look nice if they are too thick and prominent. Go in a similar way and add them onto those area where you have intego in the background. I'm adding that here and also a little on the top. If you have a line up brush, you can use that as well. I think with the line up brush also, you will get really nice pointed lines. I have a lot, a few more to me. I feel like those grassy lines made our painting look complete. Earlier, it was a little empty. We don't have any other details on the ground. The grassy pattern added a nice finishing touch. Okay, with that, we are done with our painting. If you want, you can add some birds on the sky, a group of three or four birds. You can add that over here. Anyway, that's a painting for the day. I really like the way the sky has turned out. It's a really simple, yet a beautiful sky. Now let's peel off the masking tape and add the gorgeous painting we have created. Be very gentle when you're peeling off the masking tape. Always peel it. All right? So here's our gorgeous window. Sunset. Look at those colors and all the details. Beautiful, right? I hope you enjoyed it. If you're ready to try it, give it a try. Let me know if you liked it. 10. Day 7 - Snowy Tree: Hello, dear friends. Welcome back and welcome to day seven. Here's the painting that we're going to try. It's a beautiful, sunny winter day. It's really pleasant painting anyways, let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The first color you will need is a blue. The one I'm using here for the sky is cerulean blue. Go with any pleasant blue. It can be ultramarine blue, copal blue, Persian blue, or any other blue of your choice. Here's the color, I'm going to use cerulean blue from Shinhan. Go with any blue of your choice. If you don't have cerulean blue, there is nothing to worry you just pick the one you have. Okay. That's a color I'll be using for the sky. Now, coming to the next color which is a mix of green and vermin. This one is sap, green and vermin. I'll be using a mix of these two colors. For those plants in the background, I think I will need some more sab creen. There isn't enough paint on my palette. Okay, It's more like a olive green color. We have used a similar color in our previous painting. It's a mix of vermlin and sap creen And that's a color I'll be using for those plants in the background. We will paint the sky and those landscape together. It's going to be better on wet technique. First we'll apply blue, and while the background is still wet, we will add in those green shapes. Okay, so those are the first two colors you will need. The next color you will need is ultramarine blue. I'll be using ultramarine blue to paint the snowy ground. Ultramarine blue is perfect to paint snowy ground. It has got that icy blue color. That's a color I will be using to paint the ground. We'll be using a medium tone and we will simply add some lines onto a wet background. Okay. Now the next color you will need is in Tico to paint the lake. I will be using Intico. Okay. You can use Intico for the ground as well. I just wanted to use a pleasant blue, that's why I chose to go with ultramarine blue. But even Intico will work. Okay, that's our fourth color. Now the next color you will need is brown. We will use a mix of brown and paint scray for the tree. You can see the Taco brown, more like a burnt umber color. This one is brown, permanent brown from at Philosophy. The final color you will need is paint scray. Okay, so those other colors you will need for today's painting. If you don't have brown, go burn sina. And if you don't have pins, gray, co, neutral tint or any similar color. If you don't have pins, gray or neutral tint, go with black. Alright, so those other colors you will need. Keep them ready and let's give it a try. Let's start by adding the sketch. It's a very simple sketch. The major element here is a tree. First, I'm adding an irregular line to show the ground. Now over here I'm going to add my tree. It's a very thick, bulky tree. I'm adding that towards a Right. That's the thickness I'm going with. We can't say it quite thick. Right where we have the tree. I'm adding another irregular line. Go with very light pencil sketch. If it's too dark, erase that off and make it really light. It is more like a reference line. We'll be leaving out some of the paper wide. If your sketch is really dark, those pencil lines will be visible. Next, I'm adding a line in the background now that in between space is the leak. Okay. Next we can add another line. We are showing some snowy area in the background as well. That is that line, you don't need to show those plants in the background. We can add them as we're painting. Okay. Next if you want to, you can add some branches or you can add them while you're painting. Maybe you can simply locate them where you want to add them or how many you want to add them. You can locate those areas and you can modify the shape as you're painting. For now, I'm just adding two. Or maybe we can add one more over there. You can add in as many branches as you want. I'm adding one more here. The rest I will fix Aspire painting. We will also add few more elements on the ground, just some grassy lines. Okay, that's a sketch. Add the sketch. Fix your paper onto a board or onto your drawing table. Then also keep the colors ready. We will need cerulian blue or any other blue of your choice. Then we will need sap cream and vermalin for the first step. Before we start, there is one more thing we have to do over applying a piece of masking tape on the tree. You can also use masking fluid if you prefer that This one is a very simple shape, a masking tape really works. I'm applying a piece on top of the tree. Now I'm going to trace out the shape. I'm just going to go with a straight shape. It is easier to cut. Okay, that's a shape, now I'm taking it out then using a scissor, I will cut the shape and I will paste it back. This one is a method that I normally follow if the shape is simple and straight. If it's a complicated shape or if it's an irregular one, you will have to go with masking fluid. But right here, it's a straight shape, there isn't any difficult details or complex lines. You can simply take out a piece of masking tape and cut that and paste it back. The masking tape I'm using here is a 1 " tape. If yours is thinner, maybe you can go with two tape. If it's a half inch or less than that, use one piece on one side, then you can use another one on the other side and overlap them. Okay, now I'm going to paste it back. And I'm running my finger to make sure there is no caps in between. I have masked out the tree. Now we can start painting the sky. Now until this line, I'm going to apply a coat of water. I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready. Now I'm applying coat of water, A nice shiny coat. We don't need a lot. Run your brush along that line and make your sky evenly wet. You will need any blue of your choice. Sap, green, and vermaline. All right. My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with a flat brush. Before you start, make sure it's clean. Now let's pick some erlian blue. Go with the medium tone, don't make it too light. This one is a very beautiful blue. Whenever I'm painting a sky or a cloudy sky, this is the color I always go with, see that beautiful. Right now, I'm applying that on the top of the sky. As I'm coming down, I will make it lighter. Okay, That's a medium tone. Now, I'm going to clean my brush with a clean brush. I'm going to make the color lighter. On the top, we need a medium tone towards the horizon. We need the color to be a bit lighter. Just run your brush back and forth in a horizontal direction to get the best blend. We have a medium tone on the top and a lighter tone towards the bottom. Maybe we can make the blow a bit more brighter on the top. When it dries, it will look one tone lighter. It's good to go with a brighter tone. Okay, so that task is done. Next, I'm going to go with a round rush. This one is size number six. And I'm mixing some sap green and vermaline together to create a color which is more like an olive green. Just mix some sap green with any orange or vermaline. Let's apply that color along the horizon. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Now let's apply that color onto the bed background. You can see the way it is spreading. If it's spreading a lot, your paint might be too wet. In that case, Dabit on a paper towel again before you go with this step, because our background is really watery. If your paint is also super watery, it will spread a lot and you won't be able to control the way the spreading. I have applied a very simple shape there. Now maybe at some places you can make it a bit more bigger to make it look more realistic. It doesn't need to be of the same size throughout. I'm going to pick some more paint, then I will add that in between. You can also play with different shades of green. The color I'm going with right now has more orange in it, that's why it is looking more brownish. Then I'm going with the color which is more greenish. Go with different sorts green, This will make it look more realistic. The landscape is not always just green. There will be a variation of green on it. Okay, Next I'm picking a darker green. I'm taking a little of green and I'm mixing that with paint screen. I'm introducing that at the bottom. Only along the bottom. Just add some dots and some small shapes along the bottom line to introduce the darker tones. Don't add a lot of deeper tones, we only need a letter. Okay. So, that's how it has turned out Now let's leave it for trying. All right. So, let's try it completely. Next we're going to paint the snowy areas. We have some on the top and a bigger patch at the bottom. So, first I will make sure my brush is clean. Before I start, I will peel off the masking tape, be very gentle, and peel it at an ankle. Okay. So that's how it has turned out, there is a little blue. I think we can fix it while we're painting. I'll be seeing the darker tones on the side, so that is quite manageable. All right. Now let's start with painting the snowy. As for that, I'm going to use ultramarine blue. Here's the color. Keep your color ready before you start. Now, for the background, I'm not going to add any water. It's a small area we can directly go in with the paint. This is the area I'm talking about. We have a small patch of land there. Make sure your brush is clean before you start. Now, the brush, I'm going to use the size number six. I'm picking a lighter tone of ultramarine blue. Now with that, I'm going to add some lines onto the ground. This one is quite far, it doesn't need to be too detailed. We have to retain most of the paper. White. Go with the lighter tone of ultramarine blue or indico, or any blue that you're using. Now, just add a few lines, mostly at the bottom and you can see the color I'm going with, it is really light. The tonal value is really important. That part is done. Next, I'm going to apply a code of water at the bottom. Go with a flat brush or a round brush and apply a general cot of water on to the entire bottom. For this area as well, we'll be using ultramarine blue, but the color can be a bit more brighter with the same brush. This one is size number six. I'm picking more ultramarine plue, it's more of a medium tone. Now I'm going to add some thick lines onto the ground. First, I will start from the area closer to the tree. We have added a line over there. I'm adding a few lines using ultra marine blue. Now towards the bottom, I will introduce more blue. You have to leave some gap in between That is really important when you're painting snow. Don't cover up the entire area. The white color of your paper is the snow, The rest is just some shadows. Now I'm picking more blue maybe on the corner, the color can be a bit more brighter. Okay. So I'm just randomly adding some blue on the wet background. Now I'm cleaning my brush and tapping it on a paper towel and with a clean, dry brush, I'm just smudging those lines to give it a softer look. My brush is clean and it is dry. There's no paint or water on it. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Now, before I leave it for drying, I'm just adding some lines behind the tree. We haven't added any lines here. Pick very little paint and add a few lines behind the tree. Okay. Now, before I leave it for drying, I could I introduce some more prata blue onto the background? Minus little wet. Go with this step only if your background is still wet. Otherwise don't add any more paint. Okay, With the same press, I'm picking a brighter tone of ultramarine blue and I'm adding that onto the corners. Just a few here and there. Now I will dab my pressure on a paper towel, then I will smudge it to give it a softer look, gently smudge it. That's it, That's a snowy ground. I really like the way it has turned out. The blue is really prominent now. Now when it dries, it will look really beautiful. Okay, now let's leave it for trying. Now, the next task is to paint the lake in the background. And for that I will use Indico. The Indico I'm going to use is from art philosophy. Indigos can be different from brand to brand. This one is a nice bluish indico. If yours is dark or grayish, you can add a bit of Prussian blue or any other blue into it. Okay. Now, towards the top, I'm going to start with the taco tone, and as I'm coming down, I will make it lighter. It's not really dark tone, it's more like a medium tone. That's a color I'm going with. Start with a similar tonal value as you're coming down. Make it lighter by adding more water. Okay, Now carefully follow the outline you have added there and then fill up the bottom. We have two sides. Fill both the sides with the same tonal value. Okay, now with water, I'm making it lighter. The first step is to simply fill that entire area on the top. We need a medium tone, and towards the bottom we have to make it lighter. Once we are done applying paint onto those sections, we will introduce some texture. So first fill it up, carefully follow the outline of the snowy crowd. While you're applying the paint, you're also defining the shape of the crowd. Okay, now let's add paint onto the other section. This one is a really nice indico. I love it, it's more of a bluish indico. I have another indico from Shinhan which is more of a darker indigo. It doesn't have a lot of blue in it. It is more like a grayish indigo. Depending on the manufacture and the pigment they are using, the color can be a bit different. Now, I'm going to go with a smaller brush, this one is size number six. I'm picking a taco tone of in Tico, slightly darker, not a lot. With that, I'm going to add some lines onto the background. Just few random lines to introduce some texture. Otherwise it will look flat and plain. Also, you can modify the shape of your crown. See that? Introduce some cut in between that will also make it look more beautiful. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some more taco tone. The lines I added earlier are not really visible. They just spread into the background with a slightly taco tone. I'm adding those lines again, now they are visible. They don't need to be too prominent, we just need a light texture. Add some darker tone along the bottom line of the ground. Along with that, add a few lines as well. That's it, that's a lake. It's just the base layer. We will add more details later. For now, let's leave it for drying. In the meantime that dries, we could actually add some texture on the ground. We have a piece of ground on the top and also at the bottom, I'm picking some paints, gray. I'm dabbing my pressure on a paper towel just to be sure the paint is not watery. We need a dry paint. Now, with that dry paint, I'm just adding some texture. You can add a few along the top in a very random way, then you can add few along the bottom line. Okay, just go with some tri paint and add some texture on the ground. Now I'm adding some texture along the bottom shape. Okay? This one is really far, it doesn't need to be too prominent. The top part is done now in a similar way. I'm going to add some texture at the bottom as well, next to the tree. Pick the paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel, and then add those tri textures. Maybe if you're not really confident, you can try them on a scrap piece of paper and then you can add them on your painting. This way you can be really sure about those textures. We don't want them to be too prominent. Okay, now I'm adding a few around the tree first, then I will add a few here and there. We already have enough shadows on the ground. We only need a few textures. Don't add a lot and make it too busy. Okay, so those are the textures. The next task is to paint the tree. Before you start with the tree, make sure that lake has dried completely. Otherwise the paint will spread into each other. Hand will make a mess. Okay, now to paint the tree, you will need two colors, which is brown and paint screen. You can also use burn scena. First, I'm going to mix these two colors and I'm going to create a color which is more like burn timber. Maybe I will just wipe off the screen so that I can mix the colors properly. Okay, now let's mix the colors. First I'm picking some paint screen, then into that I will add some brown. This one is permanent brown. Go with brown or burn sina. Both will work or you can use burn timber acids, that's a darker brown. Now I'm going to apply that taco tone along the left side. I will cover up that blue as well. Go with any of your medium size brush. The one I'm using here as size number six, I'm following the outline. I'm adding that taco tone onto the left side. Now towards the right, I will make the color lighter by adding some water. Just drop in some paint randomly onto the tree and then wash it off. And pick some water and make it lighter. This way we can have some beautiful textures on the tree. It doesn't need to be a clean puffect plant, it can have some rough patches and textures that it will look more natural. O, on the left side I have a darker tone, then I have made it a little lighter towards a right. Now I'm filling up that shape. If you have noticed, I haven't added any paint at the bottom over there. We're going to introduce that snowy detail. Let's add some more paint. It's the same detail we have used for the third painting, I think walk in the parts. We have left some paper to create that snowy texture. That's the same technique we're going to use for this painting as well. When you're almost reaching the bottom, go with the Taco tone. When you're applying the paint, leave out some shapes. Let's do that first. I will add an irregular line along the bottom where I have the ground. Then I will leave out some random shapes to make it look like there is some snow stuck onto the tree. See that? I'm not adding a lot, I'm just adding a few little shapes at the bottom. Maybe if needed, we can introduce snow with white watercolor or white guash. Now this is all we need. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now while the background is still wet, I'm going to add some random lines onto the tree to create some texture. Go the Dako brown again and simply add some random lines onto the tree to create some texture. We will be adding more lines when it has dried completely. For now, this is good. Next I'm going to add the branches. I'm creating a Dako tuna brown using that color. I'm going to add in the branches. We already have a sketch here. We are still visible, I'm just following the same line. I'm adding some branches using a taco tone. It's a mix of pain scray and brown. If you don't have brown, go with burn sena, Mix that with pain scray nu tel ton to create a daco tone. Just add in the branches. You can add as many as you want. I'm adding one here. I will just follow the same line and have a adder branch right here. I'm adding an irregular line to make it look more beautiful and natural. Okay, now onto this, I'm going to add some thinner branches. Go to the bridge that has got a really nice pointed tip. We don't want those branches to be too thick, go with a similar thickness. I will add a few more thinner branches onto this. See that this brush is size number six, but it has got a really nice pointed tip. I use it for different detailing. It's a very bustle brush. Okay, that's a second branch. Now, you can add more branches wherever you want to. They don't have any limit. Add as many as you want. But try to go with the smaller brush so that it can add them in a very thin and delicate manner. The more branches you add, your tree will look more interesting. Go ahead and add them wherever you want to. I'm adding another one over here and then I will add some thinner branches. Okay. So that's a tree and the branches now with the same brush, I'm going to add some grassy lines at the bottom. I already have pencils get there, so this one is more like a tried up plant. I'm going to add that over here. These lines also need to be really thin, so be sure to go. The smaller brush or a detailing brush now simply add a few lines. They can be of different length and different shape. Okay, now similarly, I will add a few on the other side. Asphal, you don't need to add them all together. Add them in a scattered way. This will make it look more realistic. You can add a few towards the bottom. Asphal, it's totally up to you, but go the smaller brush. Otherwise those lines will be really thick and it will go out of proportion. Okay. That's nearly done. Okay. That's it. If you want to add few more, you could do that. Maybe a taller one here or another 12 at the left or maybe some two at the bottom way. That part is done. Next, I'm going to add the remaining texture onto the tree. We have only added a piece layer, we need to introduce all the textures. Maybe before that we can go to the leak. Even on the leak, we need to add textos. Let's do that first, and then we can come back onto the tree. Now to add the texts, I'm going to pick a medium turnoff into. And with that medium tone, I'm just going to add some lines onto the lake. First, I will add a darker tone along the bottom in a broken way. It's not a continuous line. I'm just adding that here and there. Now with the same brush, I'm adding some thin lines onto the lake. Not a, just a few here and there. I don't want to make it too prominent, I'm just adding a few lines using a medium tone. These are very light lines, they are not too prominent. Add them in a similar way. Okay, that is done now with the same brush. I'm going to add two thicker lines. This one has a purpose. We will add a snowy patch on top of it once it has dried. I'm just going to add one here, see that it's a taco tone of indico. Now I'm adding the second line, we will add some white watercolor on top of it, and this will end up looking like a shadow. With that, the texture on the lake is done. Now we need to add the texture on the tree. For that, I'm going to go back with a tacon of brown. Have you seen the same brush? It has got a pointed tip. Go back any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush, or any brush with a pointed tip. Now we're going to add some thin lines onto the tree. We're going to add plenty of them. First, I'm mixing and creating the color mixing paints gray and brown together. Now let's start adding them with that pointed tip. I'm simply going to add some irregular lines onto the tree. A lot of them, I'm starting from the left. I'm simply adding some irregular lines onto the tree. See that it's more like a wave line or more like a snake. Just keep on adding them onto the tree and fill it up. We're trying to create the texture of the tree park. I've seen these trees keep on adding them. The more you add, the more texture you tree will have. It will look a lot more realistic. Here's a better view. Now I'm keeping on adding those lines. See that I'm not putting a lot of effort and I'm not being really careful. You can just keep on adding them until you feel like you have got a nice texture. You can overlap some of them. They don't need to have any particular length or size or thickness, just add them in and you'll see a beautiful tree coming into life right in front of you. Okay, that's nearly done. I'm really happy with it. It's just a matter of adding some irregular lines onto the tree. That's the texture we have created. Beautiful, right? You can use the same technique in your future paintings as well. It's a very easy method and it can create a very realistic tree. Now, coming onto the last task for that, I'm going to take out some white water color for this class. As I want to keep 100% watercolor, I'm not using any guash. But if you want to go for guache, that's totally fine. Anyways, I'm picking some white watercolor. It's an opaque paint. I haven't added much water. Now. First I'm going to add a snowy patch here. A small snowy patch. Say that. Now, in a similar way, I'm going to add onto the other line. Remember we have added those lines now just on top of it, I'm adding a white patch. Okay. So we just to add these details. We added those lines earlier. Beautiful, right? It's a very simple detail. If you want to add one or two more patches, you could do that. Now, there's one more thing to do over the sing brush. I'm going to add some snow onto the tree. Pick some white paint without any water, and add some dry patterns onto the surface of the tree. You can add as much as you want. I'm adding a few onto a top. Not a lot, just some dry patterns. Now, another one there. You can add them however you want and as much as you want. Next, I'm going to add a little onto these branches. I'm just trying to make it look like there is some snow accumulated onto these branches. Now, in a similar way, let's add them onto the other ones. We have two more branches, this one is completely optional. Maybe you can just add some dry texture onto the tree and skip the branches. I want to make it look like really snowy. I'm just adding them onto these branches, onto these pockets. Okay. So that's a first one. Now we have two branches on the other side. Let's add a little onto these ones, that's the next one. Now we have one more, a little there as well. Okay. So that's a snowy tree. If you want to add more, go ahead and do that. Make your tree super snowy. Okay. That part is also done. I will add a little more over here. This was a very satisfying process. Once you get the hang of it, you will feel like adding more and more. Just stop it then you feel like it is getting too much. Okay, that's how it has turned out. I'm really happy with the colors and the way the painting has turned out. Now I'm going to peel up the masking tape. Peel it at an ankle. There is a little miss here on my painting and also on my table. We'll peel up the masking tape and then we can fix it. Here's the painting, There is some paint on the top left corner. I have some white paint on my palette. Maybe I will fix it, but before that, I need to clean my table. I will just wipe it off over the wet towel. All right. The first mess is cleared. Now we have one more over, just fixing the painting. I'm someone who's totally obsessed with clean border. Whenever these things happen I don't let Tcl, I go back with white Cl or white quash and I just fix it. Anyways, I have some leftover paint on my palette making use of it. I mostly go with gach as it is more opaque. If this is not working, I will surely go back with Gach and fill it up. That is our window painting for the day. I hope you all enjoy the process and love your painting. If you are here to try it, give it a try and let me know if you like it. 11. Day 8 - Pastel Evening: Hello my lovely friends. Welcome today. Eight. Here's the gorgeous winter painting that we're going to try today. We will try a Patel sky and some gorgeous mountains and two cute little cabins. Okay, let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The first color you will need is a Patel blue. You can see the color I use for the sky. It is a mix of Tico and white. If you have a similar blue with you already, you can use it directly. I mean, if you have any Paesel blue or you can just mix some white with inco, I have some pasil pink but I don't have a Basel Blue. I will just mix and created the color you see here. It is a mix of Indico. This is the Indico I'll be using. It is from art philosophy. Then I will mix some white along with that. That's the first color you will need. We'll use the same color for the background mountain and also for the clouds. The second color is basil pink. This one is brilliant pink. Again, if you don't have a Pasl pink, you can mix and create it. Just add some white water color with crimson or carmine or any red color. This is the one I'll be using. You can see the pigment number here. It's a combination of a white pigment and a red pigment act. This one is made from R209 and P six, which is the pigment number for a red pigment and a white pigment. I have Quinacridone, red, crimson, permanent rose, spiral red. You can just mix white with any of these colors to create a basal pink. It can be any red pigment. Okay, I hope that is clear. Now, the next color you will need is orange. This one is actually optional. We will only add a little of orange towards the bottom part of the sky. I'm not really sure if we can see that on the painting. This is just to create a contrast, we will only introduce some orange into the sky. This is the one I'll be using. It is Senelar orange over here. Some orange lines here. Okay. For that you will need any orange. Again, this one is not really necessary. You can skip it. You can just ignore orange and use basil pink and basil blue for the sky. Okay. Those are the three colors I will use for the sky. I will use the same basil blue for the snowy mountain as well as for the clouds. For the for mountain, I will use inticoacetous. Also, I will use some pinscrete, the deeper tones. Those are the next two colors, inco and paint scray. For the Foc Mountain, we will start with the medium tone of Tico. We'll apply that onto the To Mountain. Then to create the textos, we will use some inco, a darker tone and also some paint scray. If you don't have paint screen covert, neutral tint or even black, we only need a little to add the deeper tones, you can see them on the top. Finally, there is one more color you will need, which is brown. I will use brown for the cabin, this is the one I'll be using. It is permanent brown from art philosophy. You can go with any color of a choice for the cabin. It can be brown or burn cena or crimson or scarlet. Go with any color, We just need a red or a brown, which is darker. Okay, that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. We are going to try. A beautiful sky and some beautiful mountains. Keep all the colors ready and let's give it a try. I'm starting by adding the sketch. First, you will need to add the horizon line, which is just a straight line. Next, I need to add the mountains in the background. We will need to add two sets of mountains, one in the background and other one of the found. The one I'm adding right now is the fro mountain. Now right behind this, I'm adding another mountain. Okay. You can modify the shape as you prefer. It doesn't need to be the same way. You can make it more higher or lower, or you can even go with a different shape if you prefer that. Okay. Those are the mountains. Next I'm going to add two tiny cabins far away. That's the first one. Now next to that, I'm going to add another one. It's a very simple one. I'm not going to go for a lot of detail. These ones are really far, you don't need to show the windows or the dose or anything, Just add a tiny cabin. Okay. That's a sketch. We have two cabins and two set of mountain. Now, you have to keep all the colors ready before you start. We need Indico, then some pastel pink and also some orange. So we're going to turn all the colors into Pasel shades next to Indico. Have some white water color. As I paint, I will mix them together to create a Patel blue. Okay, before you start, keep all the colors ready. Once you have them ready, start by applying coat of water onto the entire sky. Go the clean brush and apply a coat of water. Don't add any water onto the mountains. Carefully apply that along the outline and make your sky evenly wet. Whenever you're trying around with technique, always make sure there isn't a lot of water on your background. We only need a shiny coat. Once you've applied the water, run your brush multiple times back and forth just to be sure the coat of water is even. All right. So I have applied water onto the entire background. Now let's start applying the paint. To paint the base layer, I will use a flatbrush. This one is a half inch flat brush. You can go the flat brush or a round brush, it doesn't matter but go the medium size brush. Okay, now I'm picking some Indico and I will add some white along with that to turn that into a Basel color. Okay, so that's the kind of color I'll be using for the sky. Now I'm applying that. On the top, you can see the color. It's a beautiful Basel Blue. I've just added some white at color with Indico. Maybe we can add a bit more. I want the color to be a bit more lighter. Okay, that looks nice. I have applied blue only on the top. Next, I'm going to clean my brush for the remaining area, I'm going to go with bright pink. This one is a Basel pink, it is from Shinhan. Go with any similar color you have caught or you can create your own piecel pink. It can be a new red pigment or a rose pigment. You can just add some white watericlor along with that and create a piecel pink quite easily. Okay, right now we have created a blend of pink and plain. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm picking some more pink. Earlier I had some blue paint on my brush when I blended them. I have just cleaned my brush. Now I'm picking some clean, fresh pink. I'm applying that along the bottom. Carefully apply the paint following the outline of your mountain and just fill it up. If you want to go for a round brush, it's totally fine. Switch to any brush you're comfortable with and apply the paint onto your background. We have the background ready. Now I'm keeping this precious side. The next step is to add some clouds onto this background, or we need to add them while the background is still wet. But before I go with the clouds, I want to introduce some orange along the bottom right above the mountain. For that, I'm going to go with my round brush. This one is size number eight. Now I'm taking some orange. I'm going to add that onto the same background where we have pink. Okay, just along the bottom, introduce some orange. When we add orange, the sky will look a lot more vibrant and it will look a lot more beautiful. Go with any kind of orange or vermalion and add that on top of the pink background. Okay, that's it. Now I'm going to clean my brush and then I will go with blue. So we're going to use blue to add the remaining clouds. Clean your brush and then go back with a mix of indico and white. This time we're not adding a lot of white color. Has to be a bit more darker than the color we have used on the top. Go with indico and white, mix them together in your mix. Add more indico than white before you start brush on a paper towel and make sure it is not too watery. Now I'm just going to add some lines onto the wet background, which is a bit thick. If you paint is watery, tap it on a paper towel. I can, If the color is too dark, add more white, then add the clouds. The clouds I'm adding here have a molinear shape. If you want to go for some rounded fluffy clouds, you could do that. Go with any shape that you prefer. It doesn't need to be in the same way. Also, you can add them wherever you want to just focus on the color combination. I won't be adding a lot of clouds. I will just add one or two towards the bottom. Then I will focus on the top. Especially where we have that transition from pink to blue. That is the area where I'm focusing. I wouldn't be adding any towards orange part. Okay. So adding as many clouds as you want, there is no limit. If you want to make your sky look more dramatic, go ahead and do that. Now, I'm adding a few on the top. I think it is looking pretty decent. I don't want to make it to C. I'm going to call it done. Okay. That's a sky. I'm pretty happy with it. Now, let that dry. In the meantime, we can start with the snowy ground. To paint the ground, I will use pink and in Tico. First, let's start by applying a coat of water. Go with any of your arm brush or a flatbrush. Apply a coat of water onto the entire ground. Make sure your brush is clean before you start. Okay, I have made the background wet, now I'm switching to a round brush. I will keep this one aside. I will start with pink. Go the medium tone of pink and apply that closer to the cabin. Just add one or two lines. Thicker ones don't add a lot. Now I'm dabbing it on a paper towel and with the Drh and smudging those colors to give it a softer look. Okay, I've only added a bit of pink. Next I'm going to go with Indico. It's again a mix of Indico and white. The same color I used for the Cs. Make sure the paint is not too watery. Before you start now, I'm going to simply add some lines onto the wet background using that indico color from the bottom. I'm adding some lines towards the top. Say that don't cover up that pink. We have to retain some of that In between, you can add some blue lines as well. Also, we need to lay some space, Don't cover the entire background. It has to be a mixer of some white and a bit of blue. These are the shadows and the reflection of the color of the sky. Don't add a lot. We want some paper white in between. Okay, so that's a background. We started with pink, then to that wet background we added some lines using Indico. If you want to add some more lines or if you want to make some of the areas more taco, you could do that. I'm just adding a few more along the top, just a line here. I think it is looking pretty decent. I don't want to overdo. Yeah, that's it. Now, let's leave it for trying. Okay, so that is right. Completely. Start with this mountain. I'm cleaning my brush. The color I'm going to go with is the same blue mix of indico and white. We need a slightly thicker version of the same blue. Don't add a lot of water. Okay, that's a mix of indico and white. Now I'm going to apply that color to the A mountain, the one we have in the background. I think the color is a bit dark. I will add some more white that looks better. Go the similar tonal value and fill up the mountain. Carefully follow the outline and fill it up. If you use a lighter tone, you will end up having an outline for the mountain because we have used a pastel color for the background. That's the reason why I'm using a pastel color for the mountain asphalt. Otherwise, that outline will be really visible, which won't look that nice. Okay, now with some clean water, I'm just making it lighter. You don't need to worry about the other mountain. For that mountain, we will use more of Daco tunes paints, gray and a darker tone of Tico. You don't need to worry a lot. We can cover up all these colors to create a sense of distance and depth in our painting. It is really important to work with tonal values. That's the reason why we have used a lighter tone for the background mountain. Now for the one of the fuground, we will use really taco tones. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add a much more taco tone of indico. Just a little. I'm going to add some shadows onto this mountain. Onto the left side from the tip of the mountain, I'm adding some lines towards the bottom. I'm adding a few on the other side. Asp, we don't need a lot. Just add a few lines onto the background and then if needed, smudge it. Okay. That's a mountain in the background. Now, let that dry. After that, we can start with one on the foreground. I'm not sure if you guys noticed the color of this mountain is a lot more darker than the color we have applied earlier. You all know when watercolor dries, they have a faded look. It will be one tone lighter than the color we have applied. But with Basel colors, it is the right opposite. They tend to look one or two tones darker than the color we have applied. And that is exactly what happened here. That is something you have to keep in mind if you're working with basal watercolors. If you want a very light and soft result, add some water and make it lighter in the first layer itself. Anyways, let's start with the mountain. Using my size number eight arm brush. I'm picking some int cou first, you will also need some paint screen to weather deeper tones. Keep these two colors ready on your palette before you start indico and paint screen. Now with any of your medium sized to trash, start applying a medium tone of Indico onto the T mountain. You can use your Indico Actus. You don't need to add white. Okay, so that's the tonal value I'm going with. Now, apply that color onto the mountain. Maybe towards the bottom, you can make it a little lighter. Not a lot, it still has to be a medium tone. Okay. On the top, the color is a lot more taco. Towards the bottom, you can make it slightly lighter. Also, if you want to modify the shape of your mountain, you could do that right now. I modify it a little on the right side. Okay. Now I'm going to pick some water and I'm going to make the rest of the area lighter. Simply fill it up. Try to leave out the cabin. Don't add any paint onto that. If you accidentally add any paint, that's nothing to worry. We can come back with some white, articular, or white quash and fix the roof for the walls. We are anyway using a taco tone, that's not a problem. Okay. I'm nearly done adding the paint. There's only some area left here. Okay, that's a big layer. I just noticed this area needs a little fix. I'm just adding some more paint here and I'm smudging it. Okay. It looks so much better. Now, earlier it was looking like two different sections. Okay, that's a background. Now with the smaller brush, I'm picking some taco tone from the tip. I'm adding them towards the bottom in a very irregular, messy way. We'll have to do this while the background is still wet. That is the most important thing here. Keep adding them while your background is still wet. You can go for some random shapes and some messy patterns. Add them from the tip towards the bottom in an angular manner. Okay, so just keep on adding some taker tones. You can see they are spreading into the background slightly and they're leaving a nice texture. And that is exactly what we need here. If your background is starting to dry, be really quick and add them in quickly before it dries up. Next, I'm going to pick a little of paint screen just a little. I'm adding that only onto the top part. See that? I'm just focusing on this side of the mountain and I'm adding them only on the top part. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. If you want to add more, you could do that. But try to leave those medium tones and lighter tones in the background cover that entirely. We need those different shades and tones of blue in the background. That's what makes our mountain look more realistic. At any point when you're happy with your mountain, you don't need to look at the screen. Stop it right there. Just because I'm adding more takertoons doesn't mean you have to do the same. Take the call and do what is right for your painting. I have the habit of overdoing things and ruining my decent paintings. I'm hoping I won't do the same here. I'll just add some more Tacotoones, then I will call it done. Okay. I think it is looking pretty decent. I'm really loving those textures and those different tonal values. It's a good time to call it ton. Here is a closer look and you can see those beautiful textures. So it's just a matter of adding all those deeper tones onto the background while it is still wet. Don't go for perfection. Let them look messy and rough. Anyways, the mountain is done. Next, we have to paint the cabin. We have two tiny cabins here. We haven't applied any paint onto them. Now, to paint the walls, I'm going to go brown. I'm using permanent brown. You can go brown or burn sena, or when scarlet or vermaline or crimson. Any color will work. Keep the color ready on your palette and go with any of your smaller brush. The cabins are super tiny. It's a good idea to go to the smaller brush while you're applying paint onto these walls. The color I'm using is permanent brown from art philosophy. This one is a reddish brown but even burn sena will work. Go to any color of your choice. I have taken some paint on my palette. Now go the medium tune or a slightly darker tune. Don't add a lot of water. We need a color which is slightly dark. Okay, so that's the color I'm going with and I'm applying that on this side of the cabin. Simply fill that up. It's more like a rectangular shape. Go with any of your smaller brush and fill it up. Okay. Now, in a similar way, I'm going to paint the other cabin Asphal. In the meantime, this will dry and we can come back and paint the other side. Okay. With the same paint I'm going to fill this side. This one is super tiny and it is far away, so you don't need to add a lot of details. Simply fill that brown onto one side for the other side Asp, we'll use a similar tonal value, but then we will add some taco tones underneath the roof. Okay, I've done applying paint under the side, asphoow, I'm picking more paint, I'm filling the other side. We can actually fill both of them. Then we can add the deeper tones. Okay, go with any of your smaller brush and carefully apply paint along the outline. This one is done. Similarly, I'm filling paint on the other one, Asphal. This one is also done now with the same brush. I'm going to pick some paints gray, just a tiny bit. I'm adding that along the roof line just a little now onto the side also over here underneath the roof. And that's it. Initially, I thought of using a taco tone on one side and using medium tone on the other side. But then it is super tiny, it is not really visible. I realized it is okay to use the same tonal value for both sides. We just need to add some shadows along the roof. Okay, that is done. Next task is to add some snow onto the background mountain. For that you will lay some white waticular. I won't be adding any snow onto the **** mountain. I will just add a few onto the one on the background. Go some white waticular or white quash. I have some paint here. I'm picking some paint with my size number six round brush. Next, I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. I want a paint that is dry. I don't want a watery paint. It looks like that is still watery. Okay. Now it is dry, Dab it on a paper towel until you're sure the paint is dry. Now, with that dry paint, add some textures on to the tip of the mountain. You can add them from the tip towards the bottom in an angular way. Okay, don't add a lot, we only need a little. Only on the top, you can leave the rest of the area acts. You can see the textures are created here, they are not too prominent. I'm only adding a little on the top. Add the patterns in a similar way, don't make it too prominent. This mountain is in the background and we have used a pastel blue. When you add those white textures, it will look really nice, it will look really snowy. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to add some white paint onto the roof. The shape is not really proper. I'm just picking some white paint and I'm fixing the outline of the roof. Okay. That's the first one. Similarly, I will fix the other one, Asper. I'm also adding a line on the other side. Similarly over here, then I will fix the shape of the roof. That's it. So those are our cabins. This is why I told you earlier. Even if you accidentally add some paint onto the roof, it's totally fine. We can fix it with some white verticlar or white quash. Okay. This is how it has turned out. We have some beautiful mountains and two cute little cabins. Now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going back with Indico. Now I'm going to add a pathway leading to the cabin. Initially, I had no plans for this, but now I feel like adding a nice pathway for that. I'm going to go with some dry paint. I'm picking some paint and I'm dabbing it on a paper towel to make sure the paint is dry. Now from here, I'm going to add a nice curvy pathway. You can add it however you want. If you don't want to add it, even that is totally fine. Okay, go the dry paint and add a pathway like this. Similarly, I will add for the other one as well. It doesn't need to be too prominent. Go the lighter tone or a medium tone. Make sure your paint is dry. Simply add a texture here, line like that if needed. Along with that, you can also add few patterns in between. Okay. That's a pathway. Go with a curvy shape, this will make it look more beautiful. Now, I'm adding a few more patterns, only a little towards the bottom. Okay. That's it. That's how our painting has turned out. I'm really happy with the color of the sky and those tiny cabin and even the mountains. It's a beautiful painting. I hope you guys are happy with the result too. Here, the size of the cabin is really important to create a depth in your painting. If it's big, you won't be able to create that sense of distance. Now, the cabins are super tiny and we have some majestic mountains in the background, and you can really feel that distance here. And I also allow those textures we have created for the mountain. To me, I feel it's a very beautiful painting to be done in less than 30 minutes. I hope you all enjoy the process and you love the result. If you're ready to try, give it a try. Now I'm going to peel off the masking tape. Okay, so here's the painting for the day. You can see all those details, the mountain and those cabin. I really like the color palette and the end of feel of this painting. Give it a try if I get to try it and let me know if you liked it. 12. Day 9- Purple Evening: Hello, dear friends. Welcome today. Eight. And here's the gorgeous window painting that we're going to do today. It's a very beautiful window. Sunset. Let's have a look at the colors you will need. Now for the sky, I will be using four colors. The first color is yellow. You can go with any yellow of your choice. This one is cadmium yellow. You can go with primary Yellow, Gmbo yellow, or any yellow. This one is from sh, it is cadmium yellow light. Okay? So that's the first color. The second color is a Patel pink. The name of this color is brilliant pink. If you have pastel pink, you can use it directly or just make some white worth red or crimson, and it can easily create a similar color. Now the next color you will ing, it is an orange. I'm just going to make some pastel pink worth yellow to create that orange. Okay, that's the third color I'll be using for the sky. Now, along with this, there is one more color. On the top, over is a purple. Again, I will mix some hilet and pink together to create that color. Okay. These are the two colors I'm going to mix, honestly. This was a trial. I had some leftover paint on my palette. I just mix that with violet. And I really like the color card. I thought of using that color for the sky. You can see it's more like a purple color. Just mix some basil pink with any violet you have card and create a similar color. It can be a bit different. That's totally fine. Okay. Those are the colors I'll be using for the sky. The last two colors, orange and violet, they are more like a Basel color. It is because I have added basil pink into it. Okay. That's the colors I'll be using for the sky. You can modify them as you like. It's not a problem. The next color you will need is brown. You can use brown or burn sina, both will work. This one is permanent brown from art philosophy. Now along with that, you will also need some vermline just a little bit for the door. Okay, Now there's one more color you will need, which is paints gray to add all the deeper tones. And that's our last color. Okay? That's rice. All the colors you will need for this painting. The major color you will need is a pastel pink. Then we will mix that with yellow and also violet, and that's how we're going to create the other two colors. Okay? So keep all the colors ready before we start. Okay, now the very first step is to add the sketch. We will need to add a cabin and also an irregular line to show the ground. That's a line I'm adding, it is slightly sloping down. Now over here I'm going to add a cabin. You can add that however you want. You can place it towards the left or the right. That's totally your choice. That's a basic shape. It is pretty, it's not that small. If you want to, you can make it a bit more smaller, That's totally fine. We don't have any other elements in this painting. We don't have any trees or anything in the foreground. We're only going to add some trees in the background. And that's the reason why I have added a bigger cabin. While we're painting, we will add some lines like this. Okay. For now, you just need to add a basic shape. Now, before you start, keep all the colors ready. We need violet, yellow, and pink. We're going to mix pink and yellow and pink and violet to paint the sky. We will need all these colors, so keep them ready. We will also need some paint screy to add landscape at the bottom. Okay, so we need violet, yellow, pink and paint screen starting by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Be careful not to add any water onto the cabin. If you want to masket with some masking tape or masking fluid, that's totally fine. Or you just need to be a little careful when you're applying water. Okay, My sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the colors for that. I'm going to go with my run rush first, I'm making sure it is clean. This one is size number eight and I'm going to start with yellow. We will add yellow onto the right side somewhere over here. Be sure your brush is clean. Now, pick some yellow and drop that right above the cabin. Okay. Just add some lines. Now I'm cleaning my brush with the same brush. I'm picking some pink. I really love this color. It's a beautiful pink. If you don't have this color, there's nothing to worry. You can easily create a pastel pink by adding some white water color with any kind of red pigment. It can be red or crimson or car mine. Okay. Now I'm adding pink onto the bottom area around the cabin. I'm carefully following the outline. I'm filling that area in pink. Okay. Now let's add a little more over here. And also on the top you can see the way how I'm retaining yellow. I'm not adding much pain there, now I'm adding a little on the top. Then I will clean my brush. I've cleaned my brush properly and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Next, I'm going to create an orangish color, and I'm going to add that over here. We have a lot of yellow in the sky on the top and the bottom. I'm just adding some orange at the center. I'm retaining those yellows. I have some vermion on my palette. I'm not using that because I don't want the orange to be too prominent. I want a very soft and subtle orange. See that? That's the kind of color I want to go with. And that's why I'm not using vermionow. I will clean my brush and I will smug those colors a letto, then we can add purple on the top. I think it is pretty nice. I'm not putting a lot of effort. Now let's prepare the purple. I'm taking some pink and I'm mixing that with violet. See that? Now let's add that on the top. It's more like a pinkish purple. I'm blending that with pink. Maybe we can make it a bit more brighter. Mary, move violet into the same mix. Let's add that again, only on the top. If you don't make it darker on the top, the pink and purple will look mostly the same. Okay, now we have to blend it. I love the way it has turned out. Okay, now to blend the color, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to pick some pink. Again, with pink, I'm going to blend this area. The sky is almost done. Maybe we can add a bit more pink and then we can start with the landscape. I'm adding some more pink here. I'm blending it. Be very gentle. When you're blending the colors, don't put a lot of pressure. If you put a lot of pressure, you will end up having those brush marks in your sky. Be very gentle. Use only the tip of your brush to blend them. Okay, that's a background. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick that purple. I will add some landscape at the bottom. It is just a random shape. Just add them onto your wet background on either side. Pick that same purple on your brush and keep on adding some thick lines. Some of the lines can be taller and some of them can be shorter. This will make it look more realistic. Now in a similar way, let's add trees on the other side as well. They have to have a blurry look. That's why we're adding them on a wet background. You have to be real quick when you're adding them. Don't weed for a longer time. Add them while your background is still wet. Now, on the left, I'm going to make it a bit more higher on this side. Okay. That's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with it. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure aside. I'm going with a smaller brush. The one I used earlier was size number eight. This one is size number six. Now I'm picking some paints gray. Right now for the landscape, we have only used purple and it looks quite plain. We have to introduce some deeper tones. But that pain spray, I'm just adding some lines and some random shapes to bring in some texture. It's a medium tone of paints gray. I'm just adding that onto the wet background in a really random way. At some places I'm adding a line. At some places it is just some very weird messy shapes idea is to add some texture here. So don't worry a lot, just add some lines and some shapes onto that bed background to give it a blurry look. It is really important to add them while your background is still bed. That is what matters. Okay. Now I'm going to add a few more lines towards the left side. I think it is looking really nice. I love those purple and gray tones in a way we are not done yet. There is one more task left for that. With the same brush, I'm picking a taco tone of paints gray. The color I used earlier was more of a medium tune, but now I'm going to go with a Taco tune. Let's pick a Taco tune. I'm adding that only at the bottom. See that these are again some lines, but I'm adding them only at the bottom. I'm not picking them towards the top. On the top I won't. Those medium tones. Okay, go ahead and add them at the bottom. If you don't add those darker tones, your background will look quite plain. You need to have that contrast for that. It is really important to add these takes. Once you add them, it will look a lot more beautiful and it will look complete. Just add some lines along the bottom using a taco tone. I'm nearly done with the side. The other side is looking pretty good, but if you want to add more, you could do that. Okay. My background is nearly drying, so I have to stop doing this now. In case if you feel like those patterns are really prominent, what you have to do is go with a clean brush. There is no paint on it, it's a clean, dry brush. Gently smug those patterns be very gentle, don't put a lot of pressure. This will make those trees look softer and better. Okay, with that, we are done with the background. There's a little area missing here. I will just add some paint there, then I will leave it for trying. Actually, the interesting part about this sky is that yellow color we have here. Even though it is very little, it made a beautiful effect in our sky. Okay. Now let's leave it for drying. All right? So that has dried completely. The colors are still looking really pretty. Now the next step is to paint the snowy ground. I'm starting by adding a coat of water with my 1 " flood brush. We'll be using that same purple we created earlier. Start by applying a coat of water. You just need to add that along the bottom. You can leave the top part. You don't need to add any water along the top line. So be very careful. Don't add any water onto the background. Okay. I have applied a quart of water. Now I'm going to go with my size and the six ton brush. When you switch between the colors, always make sure your brush is clean. Okay. Now I'm picking some purple and I'm adding that at the bottom. At the bottom, I want a medium tone and I'm going to make the color lighter towards a cabin. Don't use indigo or ultra marine blue for the ground. The color has to be similar to the one you have used for the sky. Okay, on the top, I have made the color lighter. Along the bottom, I have a medium tone. Now, we need to add some deeper tones as well. For that, I'm picking some violet. I'm adding a few lines and some random shapes onto the background. Mostly at the bottom near the cabin, I won't those lighter tunes towards the bottom. I'm just adding some lines and shapes using a medium tone of violet. Maybe we can add a bit of pain sky with this color. Right now, the color is not really visible. Okay, this looks fine. Just add a tiny bit of pain scray into violet or that purple. And simply add a few lines onto the background. You can see I'm adding them only at the bottom. On the top, I still have that lighter tune. We won't be adding any extra details onto the ground. If you want to add some more deeper tones or any other texture, this is the time. Okay, maybe we can add a little more Taco tune just the same way how we did earlier. We can add them only at the bottom. If you feel like you have enough patterns there already, you don't need to add again. I just feel like it's nice to add a few more. Only at the bottom, it's a mix of paint screen and violet. And I'm adding some random lines at the bottom. This will leave out a beautiful texture in the background. I think I have added enough. Maybe we can add a few more. And that's it now, let's leave it for trying. Okay, so here's the result. I think those darker patterns really made a difference. Now the next task is to paint the cabin. To paint the cabin I will use three colors. Owe is vermalin brown and paints gray. Already have vermilion and paint screen. The next color I will need is brown. You can also use burn sena. Both the colors will work. Okay, That is brown. I have all the colors ready. Now let's paint the cabin. First, I'm starting with brown. I will go with a medium tone. And I will apply that along the bottom side of the roof. Okay. Go with any of your smaller brush or a medium size brush. Now, carefully apply brown along the underside of the roof. To begin with, simply add a line, just a thick line using brown. Okay, that's a line. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some paint on either corners. A little here and also on the other side. All right. That's brown. I have simply added some paint. Now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going with vermealine. Then I'm adding Vermaline onto the remaining area right below the roof. We have a darker tone to show all those shadows and deeper values for the remaining we are applying vermin to make the color a bit more lighter. Okay. Now simply fill that remaining area along the bottom where you have the ground go with an irregular line and fill up the top part. Okay, that's a side. Now for the other side, we're going to go with the Taco tone. We'll use vermaline for the door asphll, but let this drive then we can come back and paint the door. Okay, This side is done next with the same brush. I'm picking some paint screen. Let's add a bit more underneath the roof and also onto this side of the door. Okay, now let's go the other side. For that, I'm mixing paint, scra and brown together. I'm going to simply fill that entire area in that color. You have to carefully follow the outline and then fill it up. It's a very small cabin, so go the smaller brush or any brush with a pointed tip so that you won't add any paint onto the roof. We have to retain the white on the roof. That's how we're going to show the snow. Okay. Now let's fill this entire area in a darker don of brown. Okay, so that's a base layer of the cabin. You can see the way, how it is standing out for the background. We have blurry and medium tones for the cabin. We have used to really bright colors and you can really feel a depth here. It looks like the cabin is much more closer. Those landscape are far away. Okay, now the next task is to paint the roof. The very first step is to fix the shape of the roof. For that, I'm going to go with white. At some places the shape is not perfect. Let's pick some white waticular. It can be white aticlar or white guage. Let's fix all those edges and corners. If you have a clean, perfect border, you don't need to do this min isn't that perfect? I'm just going with some white articular. I'm fixing the outline now. I'm going to add some paint on the top, then also onto that top corner, then I'm adding a line on the right side. Okay, that looks fine. I have fixed all the edges. Now I'm going to clean my brush. I'm going with a really light of purple, The same color I use for the ground. With that, I'm going to add a shadow for the roof. A very light shadow that seems a bit dark, really light tune. Now simply add a thick line along the roof line. You can add that over here. After that, another line towards the bottom. That's it. Now, in a similar manner, let's add a tiny line onto the smaller side. We don't need to add a lot of details, we just need to show that shadow and that's it. Okay, we show to go the lighter tone. Don't make it too dark. That's the only thing you have to be careful about. There's a tiny cap along the bottom with the wet brush. I'm just merging the paint to cover up that white line. Same on this side. Okay, that is done next. We can paint the door and also we need to add some texture on the cabin. Let's do that first. I will pick some vermaline and I will add that onto the entire door. For now, just add burmllion onto the entire door. We can add some texture onto that later. Okay, go with any of your smaller brush and fill it up. Now the next thing is to add some trees onto the background. For that, I'm going to go with my smaller brush and I'm picking some white Watclor. You can also use a white chelpen if you prefer that. Now let's add some thin, delicate trees in the background using the smaller brush. This one is a size number two round brush and the tip is great. Now let's add some trees. These ones are really far, they have to be super thin, they don't need to be too detailed. Go with any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush, simply add some trees into the background. We don't need a lot. We can add three or four of them, or five or six, not more than that. Now, I'm adding a few on the other side, one there. Now another one there, maybe a few more next to the cabin. It's a wonderful brush. You can also go with the liner brush. If you have one or a wide chen that will work. Okay, so those are the trees in the background. They don't need to be that detailed, you just need some delicate lines. That's all. Next I'm going to pick some paints, gray. I'm adding some brown with it to create a darker brown. With that, I'm going to add some lines onto the cabin, onto this side. The other side is already a darker tune, it won't show up on this side. I'm just adding some horizontal lines. That's it. Now let's add an outline for the door. Just a simple outline now, one on the top and also on the other side. Next, if you feel that orange is really prominent, you can just add some texture or some lines onto that. The same brush, I'm just adding some lines and I'm trying to make that orange a little dull. I think the color earlier was really bright. Okay, That's how it has turned out. Now there's one more task which is completely optional, and that is adding some birds onto the sky. I can go with a smaller brush or a detailing brush for this step. Now I'm going to add some birds over here. I will just add three or four, not more than that. They're very thin, I don't want to make them too prominent. That's my second bird. Now, I will add another one over there. Okay, Maybe more. Whenever I'm painting an evening sky, I feel like adding some birds. I think those little birds make the sky extra beautiful. I'm just going to add one more and with that I'm going to call it N. Okay, that's a last bird. With that, we're done with our painting for the day. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape and here's our gorgeous painting for the day. I hope you all liked it. I just love the way the sky has turned out, The colors are looking so beautiful. So give it a try if I get to try it, and let me know if you liked it. 13. Day 10 - Winter Lake: Hello dear friends. Welcome back and welcome to day ten. Today we're going to try a very simple and minimalist wind landscape. It looks like a monochrome painting, but it is not. The major color I have used here is Indico. Then land will also need some paint, Scra, as well as a riddle of white. This is the Indico I will be using. It is from art philosophy. Go with any indico you have caught for the sky, we will use a lighter, then a act. Here for the lake Caspo, we will use a Daco tune. It's a painting where we're going to explore tonal values. Now according to brand, indigo can look a little different. This one is a bluish indigo. I have another indigo from Shinhan that is a bit more grayish. Just go with any indigo you have caught. That slight color difference is not a problem. Now the second color you will need is pinscrey. This one is from Rembrandt. Also, you will need a bit of white to add those trees in the background. Those are the next two colors you will need. You can try the same painting with Pinscrey as well. Even that will be really nice. The second color is pain screen. We will only need a little. We will use pain screen to add some texture. So just a little is all you need. Okay, so those are the colors you will need for this painting. Indico and pain screen then a bit of white as well. All right. Now let's give it a try. The first step is obviously to add a sketch. I'm starting by adding a line right at the center of the paper. Next we need to add the snowy land. I'm going to add that to right. You can compose your painting however you want. From here, I'm adding a nice irregular line. Now I'm going to take it down. You can break that in between and add some shapes like this. Okay? It's a very basic shape. You can add that however you want. It doesn't need to be in the exact same way. Okay, that's a basic sketch. Along with that, I'm also adding some small shapes, more like some snow covered rocks. That's the first one. Now I will add two or three, maybe we can add them towards the bottom. You can add them as many as you want and you can go with any shape that you prefer. They can be a bit more bigger or smaller, that's not a problem. Just add them however you want. I'm adding two here. Now when we're painting, we will add some plants in the background over here. We'll add them on a wet background. You don't need to add the sketch. We will also add the reflection. Okay, that's a sketch. Now, keep your colors ready. No colors. There is only one color which is indigo. Keep it ready on your palette before you start. Now I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. We only need a nice, shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot of water. Okay, before you add the water, make sure your brush is clean. Now, generally add a coat of water. Okay, My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint onto the sky, I'm going to go with a flat brush. Make sure it is clean. You can go with a flat brush or a round brush. It doesn't matter. This one is a half inch flat brush. Now, I'm starting off with a medium turn off to, I will apply that onto the top of the sky. As I'm coming down. I will make the color a bit more darker. That's a color, I'm going red, It's a medium tone. Now, run your brush only in a horizontal direction to get a clean blend as to your coming down. Keep making the color more darker. Not too dark. Maybe one tone darker. Okay, that's a top part. Now with the same brush, I'm picking more Intco. I will add that along the horizon. See that that's a color. I'm going we now let's make it a clean blend. First, you can add a straight horizon line. Then you can go for a clean plant. I'm running my brush only in a horizontal direction. That's a background. Okay. That's a foot step. Now, before I go with the next step, I will fix this a little. I feel like it is not straight. I hope it is straight right now. Anyway, that's a background. Now onto this, we will need to introduce some shapes at the bottom while they're still wet for that. I'm going to go with a smaller brush, a smaller um brush. I'm just keeping this one aside. I'm picking my size number six brush. The color I'm going to go with is a Dacotone of Indico. Now onto this wet background, we're going to add some small shapes that if you feel like the paint is really wet, you can dab it on a paper towel so that you can control the way the spreading. Now let's add more shapes. It can be a bit higher towards the right side. See that? Simply add a shape onto that bed background. We need a blurry, foggy look for these plants and that's why we're adding them on a wet background. It's a beautiful technique and you can do this only with water color. When you drop that wet paint on a wet background, it will create a nice mysterious effect. See that? Now, maybe at some places, you can make the shape a bit more bicker to make it look more interesting. First, I will fix the shape. I'm not really sure if it's straight, I'm keeping on fixing it. Anyway, I'm going to pick more paint. I will add some more shapes first I will start from here, then in between, I will make it more higher. Okay, that's how it has turned out. It will look really nice when it dries. Now with the same, I'm going to pick some more taker tone and I will add that along the bottom. It's a much more darker tone. I'm adding some lines along the bottom. Okay. I'm not adding any new shapes on the top. I want to retain those tonal values, but at the bottom, I want the color to be a bit more darker. Simply adding some more shapes, only at the bottom, using a darker tone. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now let it dry completely. Okay, here's the result. You can see how beautiful those trees have turned out. They have a nice foggy effect. We'll be using a similar tonal value for the lake asphalt, but before that we have to paint the ground. Okay? And for that we will use a lighter tone of Indico. First, using my round brush, I'm going to apply a coat of water before you start, make sure your brush is clean. Now, pick some clean water and apply that onto the entire ground, this precious size. Number eight, go with any of your medium size brush and apply a clean coat of water. Don't add much water on the top where you have those trees. Be very careful. Don't smug the paint. Okay, I have added a nice shiny coat of water. Now I'm switching back to my other brush. I'm going with a really light tone of Indico. First, I will add some paint along the bottom line of the ground, go the similar tonal value. The color I used earlier was really dark. That's not the color you want. See that go the similar tonal value and simply add some random shapes onto the ground. You have to leave the paper white in between. That is really important. Don't add a lot of paint now, I'm adding that over here. I'm just adding a shadow along that outline. That's all. I'm not adding much. I feel like the tonal value is really light. I'm just going to go back with Indico. It's more like a medium tone or just one tone darker than the color I used earlier. I'm adding that along the outline and also a little towards the bottom. Okay, Maybe a little here. Now, I'm going to clean my brush with a clean brush. I'm just smudging those paint to give it a softer look. Smudge it very gently, don't put a lot of pressure. Okay. That's how it has turned out. Maybe we can add a bit over here as well. I'm just following that outline and I'm adding some more indico along that bottom line. Okay. I think this is looking so much better now. Earlier it was not visible. Now we can see all those shadows. I'm just going to clean my brush with a wet brush. I'm just merging this area. The rest is looking okay. Only this area needs to fix. Okay. That is done now with the same brush. I'm going to add some paint onto those rocks. I'm using a light tone of indico. I'm adding them along the bottom line. I will paint three of them together. It's not a big deal once you have applied the paint. Just much it. Okay. Now maybe along the bottom, we can add in some more paint, more like a medium tune. Okay. That's it. It looks quite messy. I know. But then, trust me, it is going to look really beautiful once we paint the lake. For now, this is fine. Not just fine, It is perfect. Okay. So that is right. Completely. It still looks messy. I know that. But the magic is about to happen. First, you'll have to apply cot of water onto the entire lake. For that, I'm going to use a round brush size number eight. Don't use a bigger brush. We need a brush that can reach all the corners. A medium sized brush will be perfect. Okay. Carefully apply water onto the entire lake. Try not to add any water onto the snowy ground. All right? You can skip all the tiny corners. We can fix it as we're painting, for example, I have left some space around those rocks. I didn't want to risk it anyway, that is even wet. Now, with the same brush, I'm picking some indico. I will start with the medium tone and I'm applying that on the top. Carefully follow the outline and fill up a medium Turn off Intico onto the entire area first. Then gradually we can introduce darker tones. I think that will be the best way. So go with any of your medium size brush and apply a medium turn off Intico onto the entire area. Okay, so the base layer is now with the same brush I'm picking a much more to and I will add that along the bottom. Carefully follow the outline. Don't add any paint onto those rocks and also onto the ground. Apply paint around that. Now, slowly take it towards the top and we'll have to blend it. Okay. At the bottom we need a darker tone, and along the top we need a medium tone. If you accidentally add any paint onto those rocks, don't worry about it. We can fix it with some white quash or white water color. For now, just enjoy the process without worrying a lot. Okay, that's a darker tone of Intico. Now, I'm just spreading that into the background to make it a better blend. I will need to clean my brush before I go ahead. There's a lot of paint on my brush, otherwise everything will end up in the same tonal value. Let me clean my brush. Now, I'm smudging the paint again with a clean brush, only over here. The rest is looking fine. Let's quickly blend it. We'll need to add the reflection asphalt onto this wet background. We don't have much time. We'll have to do that before the background dries up. All right. That's a background, you can see we have started off with a medium tone towards the bottom. We have made it darker. Now I'm keeping this brush aside and I'm switching to a smaller brush. This one is size number six. Now I'm picking a daco tone off into you had to introduce some shapes onto the wet background. The technique is exactly the same what we use for the sky. Right now, the shape is just inverted. That is the only difference that add a similar shape that you have added for the sky in an inverted manner. And that's going to be the reflection, okay, onto that wet background. Go with a darker tone and introduce some shapes. We're using better on wet technique here. The shape cannot be exactly the same, that's totally fine. But try to go with a shape that is similar. By similar, I mean the size you can see here towards the left, I have made it smaller. Now onto the right, I'm making it much more bigger. That's how we have those landscape on the top. Okay. Now I'm adding that onto this corner. All right. That's it. Maybe we can go with a bit more taco tone and add them on the top. You have to be real quick. We need to do this while the background is still wet. Otherwise they won't spread into the background. It will look very prominent and rough. To give it a softer look, it is really important to add them while the background is still wet. I'm done adding the shapes now I'm going to dab my pressure on a paper towel just to make sure there is no much paint on my brush. With that brush, I'm just smudging the paint in and out to add some lines. See that I'm not adding a lot. Just a few lines at the bottom. Just remember, we don't need a lot of lines. I'm just pushing and pulling the same paint into the background to create two or three lines in the background. That's all. Not more than that. Okay. That's how it has turned out Now let's leave it for trying. All right, so the background has dried completely. Now, if you want to modify the shape of your snowy ground, you could do that right now. Go with the same tonal value of Tico, you can break that shape or modify the shape however you like. I'm doing some minor modifications. It isn't a lot. Okay, so that is done. I'm pretty happy with it. Next with the same brush, I'm going to add a shadow underneath these rocks. Just add a thick line. Now for the next one, we have one more on the top. Just go the darker tone and simply add a thick line along the bottom. This will give a more three dimensional feel. Don't skip the step. Okay, that's done. I just noticed I have accidentally add some paint at the bottom. I think there was some paint on my hand. Anyway, I will try to fix it. For now, let's start adding some texture onto the ground. First, we need to add some shadow here, there isn't any. Let's go with indico. A lighter tone or a medium tone. Go with any of your smaller brush. Now with that, I'm just adding a line. There isn't any shadow here. I'm just adding that in. Simply add a line along the bottom. It can be slightly thick. Now, maybe we can continue that line here over here. Okay, it is just a matter of adding a thick line using a medium tune or a lighter tune. Now let's add them for the rocks as well. If you go to the really light tune, it may not be visible once it has dried. So that is what happened here. I had added a line there earlier, but it is barely visible. Go the medium tune and introduce that shadow again if it's not visible. Now let's add some texture using the same color. Right now I have a dry indico on my brush. I'm simply adding some texture here and there and also trying to fix that here at the bottom. Maybe I will go with the bed brush and I will try to make it lighter. So I'm just adding some water there now with the paper towel. I'm trying to take it off. Okay, Let's try that again. I'm picking some more water. Adding that again, I'm scrubbing it now. I'm picking a paper towel, I'm dabbing that off. Okay, this is looking better. The textures are not so prominent. The textures we have added right now is using a light tone of to. Now I'm going to repeat the same step using a taco. I'm picking a taco tone of to, I'm dabbing the brush on a paper towel. Okay. Now with that dry brush, I'm adding some textures from the bottom towards the top. I'm adding those textures mostly along the thickness of the snow that from the bottom I'm just dragging my brush towards the top and I'm creating those dry textures. Along with that, you can also add some texture onto the surface. We only need a few textures. Just go in a very random way and add few textures here and there don't make it too crowded. You can see the way how I'm adding it, it is very little, they're not too prominent. Right now, we are using Tico. We will add some more textures using paints gray here. For now, this looks fine. Okay. Next, going to go with some white watericlor. I'm going to add some details onto this painting. We need to add some lines on the lake. Also, we need to add some trace in the background. To add those details, I'm going to go with a smaller brush and I'm picking some white water color. I have some paint here, you can go with white water color or white quash. Now with that thin brush, I'm going to add a few lines onto the lake. These lines needs to be really thin. You can see the way how I'm adding it. Now I'm going to add a few more in a similar way. Don't make it too thick. Go with a smaller brush or a detailing brush or even a white he pen. Now add a few lines onto the background, see that they are barely visible. Don't make it too thick and prominent. We don't need a lot of lines. I will just add one more on the top over here. Okay, that's it. We are done adding the lines. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some trays in the background. Pick some white paint on your brush. Now simply add some random traces in the background. You've seen that white paint. These are just some simple trees. We have added similar trees in the previous painting. Sasphal, they have to be really thin. Go with the detailing brush. If you make them really thick and prominent, your painting will go out of proportion. To bring in that Tpth and proportion, it is really important to go with a similar thickness. Okay, that's the first tree. Now I'm going to add a few more. You can add in as many as you want and you can add more branch Sasphal, that's totally your choice. But then go the detailing brush or a smaller brush. The thickness is really important here. Other than that, there's nothing to be hurried about. You can add as many as you want. Okay. This tray is quite big and thick. Now, the other ones I'm going to add towards the left. I will make them more thinner and less prominent. See that? Now, I will add one here. I will add a few more towards the left side. Shorter ones. These ones are quite tall. Now on to the left, I will make it much more shorter. I'm only adding a few, but if you want to add more, you could do that. But be really mindful about the thickness, that is the only thing you have to be careful about the rest. You can add them however you want. Okay, so those are the trees. I'm thinking of adding one more towards the right side. It is going to be a bigger tree, and I'm adding that over here now onto one side of these trees. We will also add some paint screen just to make it look more interesting. For now, let it try. Okay, so those are the trees. Now I'm picking some water on my brush just to make that white a bit watery. Earlier we used an opaque color. We haven't added much water. It was thick and opaque. Now, into the same paint, I'm adding a P of water. With that slightly light paint, I'm adding a shadow for these trays. Wherever you have a tree, add a line upside down. That's a first one. Now let's introduce similar reflections for the other ones. For these, I'm not bringing them towards the bottom, I will just add them here. Now we have these smaller trays. Just add a thin line using a slightly lighter tone of white. It doesn't need to be an opaque white. Okay, that's done. Now we're going to go the final task. For that, I will need some paints. Just a tiny bit. You run, need a lot of paint. We will need to add some texture on the ground, also some texture onto those trees, onto those two bigger trees. Go with your smaller brush and pick some paint screen first we can go with the trees. Now what I'm doing is I'm just adding a black line onto some of the areas. It's more like a broken line onto the left. I'm simply adding a black line similarly onto the other one. The rest of the trees are quite small and thin. We don't really need to add a line onto the other ones. Focus on the bigger trees. It is literally a black broken line that's done haspel. Now there is one more task to do which is adding some texture on the ground. There is some leftover paint on my brush. With that, I'm adding some texture here, adding them mostly along the thickness of the ground. It's the same texture as we read earlier, but this time the color is different. It is a much more taco tone. Simply add some right textures along the thickness of the snow. Okay, you can see the weight is turning out beautiful, right? It's just a matter of adding those shadows and then some right textures. Now I'm adding a few onto these rocks here, I'm adding them along the bottom line. That one is done now, similarly for the next one as well. You can see I didn't add a lot. I have only added a few patterns here and there. Take a look at your painting if you want to add more patterns. So if you want to add one more tree or another snowy rock, you can add them in. Those things are totally your choice. Take full control of your painting and modify it however you like. Okay. That's it, that we're done with our painting for the de, now it's time to take off the masking tape. And here's our gorgeous window painting for the day. I love the way it has turned out. You can see those reflection and those trees. Everything is looking really magical. I hope you all liked it. If you're here to try it, give it a try, I'm very sure you're going to love it. 14. Day 11 - Peaceful Evening: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 11. Our painting for the day is a very minimalist winter evening. It is one of those paintings where the process is very simple, yet you can manage to create a beautiful result as usual. Let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The first color you will need for this painting is it's a pastel violet. If you take a look at the pigment number, you can see it has a blue pigment, a violet pigment, and a white pigment. Just go with any violet or blue. It can be violet or even in Tico, you can simply add some white water color to it and create a similar color. It can be a Patel violet, a Patel blue, or a Patel purple, that is, lavin. It's a beautiful color to paint those frosty details that just go with any color of your choice. As I said earlier, it could be blue, violet or purple, and then add a white watercolor into that and create a basil color. Okay. Now the second color you will need is basil pink. We had tried creating this color earlier by using some red pigment and white pigment. That's our second color. We spoke about Laveno and pink. Now you can see some orange and yellow. Here I'll be using yellow. This one is Naples yellow. Naples yellow is a soft pacel yellow. If you don't have a similar color, just add some white water color with any of the yellow that you're using and you can easily create a piece yellow, that's a third color. Now when I'm applying paint onto the background, obviously it will get mixed with P. That's how I have created that orange. It is not a separate color. Now there's one more color you will need, which is the red. We'll be applying that to show the sun. This one is spiral red. You can go with scarlet red or any other you have caught. We only need a little to show the sun. Okay. So those are the colors you will need for the sky. I really like the sun. It is just a red dot. Then onto the center, we will add a tiny white art again. Now the last color you will need is paints gray. We will use this to add the tree in the background and also some final texture. All right. Go with paints Gray or Neutelson. If you don't have any of those two colors, you can go with black. Okay. That summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Here is a closer look. We have lavender, basil, pink, basil, yellow, red, and paints gray. Okay. So keep all the colors ready before you start. If you are making your own Pasl colors, maybe you can do that in advance and keep it ready so that you don't need to waste any time in between. Okay. Now let's give it a try. I'm starting by adding the sketch. It is just a horizon line and a tree. I'm adding a line a little below the center of the paper. Next I'm going to add two lines just to indicate where I want to add the trees. Add the sun in between these trees. Okay? That's all you need to add. It is more like a reference for us to understand where to put the colors. Okay. Now I'm hoping you have all the colors ready. As I said earlier, the major color, I'm going to use this Laveno. I will use this color for the ground as well as for the sky. Prepare a color in advance. It can be a basil blue or a Basel violet. Now, once you have a tree, start by applying coat of water onto the ground. For that, I'm going to use my flat brush. I'm applying clean coat of water onto the entire ground. We only need a shiny layer of water. Don't add a lot now to apply the paint to go with any of your medium sized strong rush. Now I'm starting by picking some Lavenor. I will apply that along the bottom. Okay. Also I will add some lines onto the background. Go with a Basel Blue or a Basel Violet. And simply add some lines onto the background. Be sure to leave some gap in between. Don't fill up the entire background. Okay. There is a Lavenor on a wet background picking some more paint, and I'm adding that right where we have the trees. Okay. If you feel like your paint is really watery, dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, it will spread a lot. Now, let's add a little towards the bottom Asp, some more thicker lines using a medium tone. Okay, Now I'm just spreading it to give it a softer look. And that's it. So it's just a matter of adding some shadows onto the ground. The major portion has to be your paper white. We'll just need to add some lines using a medium tone. Now let that try completely. All right, so that is tried completely. Next we can start painting the sky. We will need lavender. Then we will need a Patel pink pastel yellow, and a little of red. Also some paint screen to introduce some landscape at the bottom. Keep all the colors ready before you start. Once you have the colors ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Using any of your clean brush, we only need a shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot. Okay. My sky is evenly wet. Now, to apply the paint, I'm going to go with a un rush. I'm starting with lavender. I will apply that on the top. Okay, I'm starting with lavender. Next I will go with pink. Then some paste, yellow and pink. Again, that's order I'm going to follow. Let's add some more paint a little more. Okay, now let's clean the brush. Let's go with pink. If you're mixing and creating your colors, the colors can be a bit different from mine. It's totally fine. Your sky is still going to look very pretty, so don't worry about that. Looks like I will need to add some more lavender on the top. That lavender is not really visible. I think I will need to add more, especially on the top. I'm adding that in. Okay, That is lavender and pink. Next, I'm going to clean my brush. I will go with some more pink, some clean pink. I will add that here. Okay. Next we have to squish a yellow, clean your brush and add that right where you have stopped pink and planthon. For this painting, we are using soft Basel colors. It is different from the other paintings we have done so far. This one is soft and minimalized. Now I will add a bit more yellow. Then I will go back with pink and I will fill up the remaining area. Okay, let's pick some pink and add that along the bottom. Go the straight line and fill that entire area. Then chin blend that with yellow. Once we're done painting the background, we will add some landscape at the bottom while the background is still wet. Let's quickly finish off the background. I'm actually done with the background, but I feel like the colors can be a bit more bright to me, feel like it is really dull, especially the lavender and the pink on the top. I'm just going to pick some more pink and I will add that over here. Also, I will add some more lavender on the top. This one is completely optional. If you're happy with your background colors, you don't need to add more paint. Or if you want to make it more brighter like mine, go with one more layer and make it more brighter. I add some more yellow to create a brighter orange over here. Okay, that's a background. I'm really happy with it right now. Earlier I felt like it was really dull. But now it looks really beautiful. Just follow the order. Lavender, pink, yellow, and then pink again. You can make it more brighter or lighter in a way that's a background. Now I'm going to go with my smaller brush, this one is size number two. And I'm going to pick a little of red just a little. Now with this tiny brush, I'm going to add a tiny red circle over here, in between these two trees. Go with the paint, which is not too watery. We don't want that red circle to spread a lot. Okay, that's a sun. Go with the similar size and also use a medium tone. We need that red to be prominent and visible. Okay, now with the same brush, I'm going to add some landscape along the bottom. For that, I'm picking some lavender. I will also add some paint scray along with that to make the color slightly darker. It's a mix of lavender and paint scray. Now you've seen that color. I'm just adding some random shapes along the horizon to show those plants and trees in the background. Simply add them in while your background is still wet along the horizon. We need a straight line. Then on the top, you can add any shapes you prefer. Add it quickly as you're reaching the sun. Break it, then continue that Again, don't cover up the sun. See that we need the sun to be visible. Now, let's pick more paint and fill up the remaining area. The brush I'm using here is size number two. I very intentionally went with a smaller brush because I don't want that paint to spread a lot. If you're using a bigger brush, obviously you will end up dropping more paint. It will spread a lot than this. Maybe you will end up covering the sun. Okay, Go to any of your smaller brush when you're doing this step. Okay, that's how it has turned out. I think we can add in some more paint and make some of the areas a bit more higher. I'm starting by adding some paint onto the left, just dragging them towards the top to make those plants a bit more higher, then we can add a little over here. Okay, if the background is still wet, modify the height however you like, but don't cover up the sun. That is something you have to be really careful about when you're approaching the sun. Don't add a lot of paint. Let that red color stay. I'm nearly done. I will just add a few more taco tone along the bottom. The background is really soft and beautiful. I don't want to overdo Andrew in it. Yeah, that's it. That's how the background has turned out. Now I'm going to grab a paper towel and I'm just dabbing my brush on it. Okay. To make the paint really dry. Now with that brush, I'm just going to add some dry textures over here where we have the trees that just add a few lines onto the ground and also some dry textures. We are only adding them where we have the tree. I'm not adding any darker tones towards the bottom. So the same color I use for that landscape. You might have some leftover paint on your brush. Just use it. We don't need any extra paint. I cannot tell you how much I allow, the sky and that red sun. It's a very simple technique. You just have to go the paint that is not too watery, then just add a tiny red tot, and there you have your beautiful sun. We have used the most beautiful colors for the sky, then that soft landscape. And the sun is making it extra beautiful in a way. Now, let's leave it for drying, okay, so the sky has dried completely. Now for the next step, I'm going to go with some white water color. Now using white water color, we're going to add the sun. We only need a very little amount of white or can just go with a white Chalpenorright. Now we have only added the glowy part of the sun. We haven't added the sun yet. For that you will just need some white water color or white quash. Anything that you prefer. Now go with any of your smaller brush and pick some clean white. Simply add a tiny white circle towards the center. Don't make it too big, we want that red to be visible. Just add a tiny white sun towards the center, retaining most of the red color. Okay, we have added the sun. Be really careful about the size, that red color has to be visible. Don't cover that up. Okay, that's the sky and the background. Now we need to add the full ground trees. For that, I'm going to go with a mix of paints, gray and lavender. I'm not really using paints. Gray acts, I want a color that is a little frosty. If you use paints, gray acts, the colors will be really bright and prominent. So if you look at the landscape around you during winter season, you can see all the trees, the leaves, everything will have a frosty look. To get that, I'm going to add some laveno with paint scray. Just mix any of the pisel blue you have used earlier with paint screen and go with that color to add your tree. We don't want that tree to be too prominent. I have added the tree trunk. Now onto this, I'm going to add some tiny branches. Add in as many branches as you want. The more branches, your tree will look more beautiful. Now here's the color that I'm using. It's a mix of paint screen and lavender. And you can see the color. It's more like a gray. Now let's add more branches. These branches needs to be really thin. Go with any of your detailing brush, or a liner brush, or any brush that you're comfortable with. For me, for some reason, I cannot really work with liner brush. I never get them like this. But I have seen many artists using liner brushes so beautifully. This brush is size number two. And for me, this works just perfect. I just stick with it. Which brush you're more comfortable with, Stick with it, and add in your tree and the branches using that brush, no matter whether it's a liner brush or a detailing brush or any other brush. Okay, now I'm going to go with the second tree. I'm starting from the bottom and I'm using that pistol color. Now I'm going to continue the tree towards the top. My idea is to add only two trees on either side of the sun. If you want to add one more, you could do that, that's not a problem. You can add one more towards the right. Towards the left. You can compose your painting however you want. Just follow the techniques I'm showing here and maybe the same color combination. And then you can compose and alter your painting however you want. I just love it when my students explore and experiment. That's how you learn to come out of your Caperton and try out new things. If you simply follow the tutorial, you will get a beautiful result, but those techniques might not stay with you. If you need them to stay with you, you will have to try them in your own way. That's how those techniques will get imprinted in your mind. Anyways, coming back to the painting, I have added my second tray. Now I will need to add more branches. So I'm just going with the same color, it's a mix of lavender and paint screen. Using my smaller brush, I'm going to add more branches. Okay, so I have added both the trees. Now, in case if you want to add more branches, add them in. As I said earlier, the more branches your tree will look more realistic. Add them in all direction and make it super crowded. I'm just adding more and more branches onto the outer side. See that now maybe we can add a few more onto the other tree. Allow this color combination and the way the painting has turned out. It's a very simple painting. I think the beauty is the colors we have used here. There isn't any complicated techniques or any major element. It is just two simple trees and that glowing sun in the background. If you want to modify your trees, go ahead and do that. We are almost completing our painting. I'm just making the tree trunk a bit more thicker. The rest of the branches can stay actus, only the tree trunk I'm making slightly thicker. That's it. That's a gorgeous race. And the glowing sun. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to add some dry texture on the ground. Then maybe we can add some birds. Those are the remaining tasks. Let's start by adding some texture onto the ground using paint screen. Go the dry paints and simply add a few textures here and there. We already have some darker tones on the ground closer to the tree. You can follow the same areas and simply add a few textures. And a little towards the bottom, not a lot. Our major focus is the area around the tree. All right, that's how it has turned out. Now, with the same rush, I'm going to add some birds. I think I said this earlier. Whenever I'm painting an evening sky, I automatically tend to add some birds onto the sky. I'm just adding them over here, a group of five or six birds. They are super tiny. If you're adding them go a similar size, I'm using the same color. It's a mix of lavender and paint scray. I don't want them to be too prominent. It's a dull color. Okay, my lovely friends. That's our lovely evening for the day, it is soft, minimalist, and yet so beautiful. I hope you all light it. Now, let's peel up the masking tape and have a look at our beautiful A landscape. Here we are. I'm really loving those soft details. We have tried quite a lot of paintings so far, but then I think this one is my most favorite, The soft colors, and those minimalist details is something that I love the most. I hope you all enjoy it as well. Give it a try if I get to try it and let me know she liked it. 15. Day 12 - Dancing Lights: Hello my dear friends. Welcome to day 12. Our painting for the day is a beautiful Northern lights. It is a simple and an easy one. And the best part is you can do this painting in less than 20 minutes in a way. Let's start by having a look at the colors. The first color I'm going to use is blue. This one is royal blue, the color you see on the top. We just need a dark blue. It can be thilo blue, Prussian blue, or any other blue of your choice. Okay, so that's the first color I'll be using. This one is royal blue. It's a very beautiful, bright blue. See that? That's a first color. Here's the one. This one is from Shinhan. Now the second color you will need is Tirquoise blue. The Tiquoise blue is from white knives. It's a beautiful color. I use it mostly for scapes. See that? Such a pretty color, right? Let me show you a closer look. Here's the first two colors, Royal blue and tirquise blue. It's totally okay if you don't have the same colors, go with any color you have which is nearly similar. Okay. Now the next color you will need is cobalcreen. Cobalgreen is one of my most favorite colors. I use it quite a lot, especially when I'm painting tropical beaches and northern lights. Now there's one more color you will need for that. Dancing lights. It is a mix of lemon yellow and cobalcreen. Just add a tiny bit of lemon yellow with cobalcreen, it can create a very gorgeous neon green color. See that? Okay, that's a color we will use for those dancing lights. It is very important to go for a bright and vibrant color. Otherwise, we won't be able to create a contrast in the sky. Contrast is really important when you're painting Northern lights. Now there's one more color you will need, which is indico. We will use this color along the bottom to create a darker tone, also for the snowy ground. Finally, to atom textures and those pine trees, you will need some paints, gray. You can use paints gray or neutricent or even black. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's dancing lights. It's a beautiful color palette. If you don't have the same colors, don't worry. Go with any colors that is nearly similar. It's a really beautiful painting, which won't take you more than 15 minutes. Let me show you the painting again. So here it is. I just love those dancing lights. Now it's time to give it a try. I'm starting by adding a line to separate the sky and the ground. It can be a straight line or a sloping line. You can add it however you like. I'm just going to go with a very gradual slope. Actually, that's the only sketch you will need for this painting. We'll be adding some pine trees towards the right side. We can add them as we're painting. You don't need to add all those things right now, We just need this line. Okay. I will add the pine tree somewhere over here. We can decide on the height and all those details. Asphere painting. Okay. For now, just add a simple line separating your sky and the ground and then keep all the colors ready on your palette. We are starting with a snowy ground. The very first color, you will need a Tico. I hope you all have the color ready. I have it here. Okay, I'm starting by applying a coat of water to the entire ground. We only have a little area here. Apply a gentle coat of water. Not a lot. We only need a shiny coat. Next I'm going to go with my site number six round brush. Make sure it's clean before you start. Now go with a medium tone and apply that along the bottom. Then as you go towards the top, make it lighter. Okay. So that's the color I'm going with. Maybe it can be a bit more darker towards the bottom. Now I'm picking some clean water and I will make it lighter towards the top. Okay, that's a ground, We have a medium tone at the bottom and a lighter tone towards the top. Now, let's leave it for drying. Next, we're going to go with the sky. Before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready. We will use on technique and we will need a darker blue, chirquoise blue, cabal, creen, lemon yellow. Along with that, we will also need some Intco. Keep all the colors ready on your palette before you start really, really important. Once you have them ready, start by applying coat of water onto the entire sky. Run your brush multiple times just to be sure the coat of water is even. We don't need a lot of water. We only need a nice shiny coat. My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my flatbrush. You can use a flatbush or a arm brush. Both will work. Now the first color I'm going to start with, Tiki, is blue. Go with the medium tone and apply that towards the center. You can see the way how I'm adding the paint. I'm leaving some cap at the center. I'm not filling it entirely. Now I'm picking more paint and I'm adding that at the bottom. I love some space on the top and also at the center. On the top, I will introduce some royal blue. And towards the center I will introduce cobal cream. Leave that space has itus. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going with royal blue. Royal blue is not a very common color. You can use Prussian blue or any other attacker blue instead. Now fill up the top part. Okay, we have a really dark tone of blue on the top. Then we have some quiz. Blue at the center and also at the bottom. Next, clean your brush quickly and go with cobal cream. You can use the same brush or a smaller brush. Now, apply cobalcreene at the center. Again, I'm leaving some cap, see that it's just a tiny line. Now onto that area, I'm going to add a mix of cobalcreen and lemon yellow. That's the most interesting part of this painting. I'm cleaning my brush, There's a lot of cobalcreen. I don't need that much. Now, I'm picking some yellow and I'm mixing that with Cobalcreame to create a neon green of a color. See that it's a bright green. Now I'm going to apply that color onto this little area I have here. Add your line in a swirly, wavy manner, See that? Let's add one more over here. Okay, there is one thing you have to be careful about. When you're adding this green line, make sure your paint is not too watery. Coat the paint that is thick. If it's too loose and watery, they will start spreading a lot. We don't want them to spread, we want them to stay at. I have added three green lines, a shorter one on the top. Then to way we want towards the bottom now we'll have to introduce more taco tones, especially towards the bottom. For that, I will use a round brush, A medium sized round brush, the sooner size number six. But before that, I'm just going to quickly fix this area. The blue doesn't look that nice. I'm just adding some more. Okay, that's it now it is looking so much better. Let's quickly add some deeper tones using a hon brush. First, I'm picking some chirquoise blue. I'm adding that right next to the green lines, give it more contrast. I'm hoping your background is still wet. Just pick a little of chirquoise blue on your brush. Add that right next to the green lines. This tip is completely optional. I wanted to bring in some more contrast, and that's why I'm adding that paint again. If you feel your colors are decent enough, you don't need to add them again, I will add some Chirquoise blue at the bottom as well. When you're painting northern lights, it is really important to bring in that contrast, especially around those dancing lights. If the entire background is in a similar tonal value, it won't have that effect. Okay, that's how it has turned out. You can see those beautiful dancing lights. The only interesting part is those green lights. Now I'm cleaning my brush with a clean, dry brush. I'm just smudging this a little. This is to prevent further spreading of the paint. I want them to stay as lines. Okay, now there's one more task we need to do before we lay this for trying, which is adding some landscape at the bottom using Intico. Quickly, go ahead with a taco tone of Intc. Start adding some landscape. These are some very rough shapes. Have to add them while the background is still wet. Otherwise they won't have that blurry look. Okay, Go the Daco ton of into and just add some shapes onto that bed background, let it spread and create a natural look. You can see the difference those trees made earlier. The sky was looking quite plain. Now it looks a lot more realistic. Okay. Now to make it even more better, you can make some of those trees a little more higher. I'm picking more paint. I'm making it more taller. See that at some places make your trees higher. At some places make it shorter. This will make your painting look more interesting. And also I'm thinking of getting rid of that slope. I'm not sure if this is going to be a good idea, but I feel like making it a straight line. If you're happy with the slope, just keep it the way it is to me. For some reason I feel like making it a straight line. So I'm just going with my instinct and I'm making that a straight line. On the left it is fine, but on the right I'm just extending the same line and I'm making that straight. You don't need to make it straight just because I'm doing it. You can't keep the slope. Retain it if you like it. I'm adding some more trees on the left, then I'm making it straight again. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. I'm very happy with the sky and those trees, those blurry trees. My background is still wet. Maybe I can add some more trees. Okay, that's our sky now. We'll have to wait for this to dry. The next task is to splatter some stars. Then after that, we need to introduce some pine trees and also some texture on the ground. Okay, so let's take a quick break and come back when this has dried completely. Okay, that's a background. I'm very happy with the colors and the weight has turned out. Our next task is to add some stars. For that, you will either need some white verticlar or white quash. I'm using white verticlar, but you can go with white quash that is more opaque. Okay, take out some paint onto your palette. Now, with one of your brush, pick some paint which is thick. Don't add a lot of water before I start using a scrap piece of paper, I'm covering the bottom part that I won't accidentally had any stars. Now, with my smaller brush size number six, I'm picking some white paint which is thick. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Otherwise, you will end up having big splatters if the paint is watery. Now, using another brush, I'm going to tap on it, see that they are very tiny. If your paint is watery, you won't get this size, they will end up becoming too big. You can keep adding as much as you like. I'm focusing on the top part, that's where I need more stars. Keep on tapping on your brush and adding as many stars as you want. As we have darker tones on the top, it will be more visible over there. That's why I'm focusing on this part. Make sure not to go the watery paint if you feel your paint is watery damage on a paper towel before you start. Okay. I will add a few more, especially on the top. See that you can see how tiny they are. Go a similar size. I think I have added enough now with the same brush. I'm going to add some bigger stars, asphalt. I'm picking more paint. I will add some bigger dots in a very random way. You can also use a wide He pen for this trip. Pick some random areas and add a white spot. All right. That's how the sky has turned out. You can see how magical it is. The colors are really cautious, especially that dancing lights. Okay. Now the next step is to add some texture on the ground and also the pine trees. Honestly, the pine trees are not really necessary. I'm contemplating whether we need to add them or not. Maybe we can add just one or two anyways. I'm cleaning my brush. Let's go with pines, gray. Okay. I decided to add the pine trees with my size number eight brush. I'm picking some paint screen, a darker tone. The pine trees I'm adding are going to be very simple ones. Before you start, make sure your background has dried up completely. Okay. Now I'm starting by adding a straight line towards the bottom. We have a really darker tone, so we only need to add the follet on the top. Okay, now with the same brush, I'm going to add some random patterns onto either side. I'm just running my brush onto either side and I'm creating some messy rough patterns only on the top. In between, I'm leaving some gap as well. It is not a very dense and thick tree. Here's a closer look. You can see those messy patterns quick. And a simple pine tree, you just need to run your brush onto either side and create some messy patterns. Okay? They don't need to be perfect. Just give it a try on a scrap piece of paper and then you can add them on your painting. See that? Just run your brush onto either side as if your hand is shivering. I will add a few more then the rest is quite dark. I don't need to add any. You can see I haven't filled the entire tree. There are some gaps in between. Now, in a similar way, I'm going to add my second tree, which is a bit more shorter. First, add the line, then create some messy patterns onto either side. See that it's an easy technique, but maybe if you're trying it for the first time, you might find it a little tricky. Just try one, a scrap piece of paper, and then add them on your painting. You can take a closer look and see how messy those patterns are, but if you look at it as a whole, it looks like a pine tree. Now, let's add one more, a little away. Okay, That's a third pine tree. If you want to add more, you could do that, that's not a problem. Maybe you can add a taller one towards the right or the left. With the same brush, I'm going to add some dry patterns on the ground. There is some leftover paint on my brush. I'm just going to grab a paper towel and I'm dabbing the brush. Okay. Now with that dry paint, I'm simply adding some textures on the ground, mostly on the top. See that? Simply add some right patterns. You don't need to add a lot, just add a few on the top and that's it. The sky is looking really beautiful. And even those landscape, it is just about 15 minutes and you can see the gorgeous painting we have created. The most interesting thing here is obviously the color combination. I hope you all loved it. If you're yet to try, give it a try. Now let's split off the masking tape. Be sure to pale it at an ankle so that it won't rip off your paper. Be very gentle. Don't rush. So far, I have got a clean border. Okay, That's a clean border. I just love it. When I get a clean border, it makes me extra happy. That's a painting. Okay, So that's our winter landscape for the. Give it a try, if I get to try it. And let me know if you liked it. 16. Day 13 - Snowy Forest: Hello, dear friends, welcome to day 13. Today we're going to try a very beautiful, moody winter forest. This one is actually one of my favorite from the tier collection. I love that moody color palette and the tier look of this painting. Okay, so let's start by looking at the colors for the sky. I have used three colors, One is Indico, then I have some maple yellow over here. Then I have used some brown to add the clouds. Then for the landscape asphalt, I have used brown and paints gray. Okay. The first color you will need is Indico. I'll use the same color for the snowy crowned asphal. We'll go with a lighter tone. The next one is Naples yellow. Which one is more like a Patel yellow. See that? That's a color I'll be using. You can go with any yellow you prefer. It doesn't need to be naples yellow. This one is a mix of yellow pigment and a white pigment. If you want to go for a similar color, you can just add some white water color with any of the yellow you have. Okay. You can see it is more like a pastel yellow. Now, the next color you will need is brown or burn scena. Both the colors will work. I will use this color to add the clouds along with the sky. We will also need to paint the landscape, these ones here. For that asphalt, I will use brown and paint screen. Okay. The next color you will need is paint screen. Again, If you don't have brown, go with burn scena, Both the colors will work. Those are the four colors I will use for the sky. When I'm painting the sky, you will need all of them. We will paint the entire background in one go. So you will need all these colors while you're painting your sky. Okay, This is the brown I will be using. It is permanent brown from art philosophy. We'll use a darker tone of brown to add those patches on the ground and also for the trees. Okay. So that summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. You will just need indico, naples yellow or yellow, then brown or burn sina and paints gray. Okay. Now let's give it a try. First, I'm going to add a pencil sketch or we'll need to add a line to separate the sky and the ground. I'm adding that a little below the center of the paper. Okay. Next I'm going to add another line from here towards a right. With this line, we are actually dividing the ground into two sections. We have one section on the top, a little below that. Okay? Just add a simple line like that. Now, the next thing we need to add some trees. This one is not really necessary. You can add them as you paint. Or if you want to add them right now, that is fine. That's the first tree. You can add them how you want. It can be leaning towards the right or the left or it can be straight. Okay. I think I will add the rest as I paint for now. I'm just adding three of them there. Okay. That's a sketch. Now, make sure you have all the colors ready before you start. We need indigo. Yellow. We will use indigo on the top, then yellow and then brown and pin screen. Okay, keep all the colors ready before you start. Once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Don't add a lot of water, as I always say, we just need a shiny coat of water. All right, so the sky is evenly wet. Now, in case if there is some water along the border, wipe it off with a paper towel or a cotton cloth. Otherwise this might float back into your painting and might create some bleeds along the border. Now let's start applying the paint. I'm using my size number eight tron brush and I'm starting with a medium tone of indigo. That's a color. I will apply that on the top. Okay, Now I'm going to clean my brush and I will make it lighter towards the bottom. Clean your brush thoroughly. Go with some clean water and make it lighter. Okay. Next, I'm going to pick some naples yellow. I haven't cleaned my brush. The color is more like a green. Now, I have washed it, I'm adding yellow onto the wet background. Okay. Blue and yellow are complimentary colors on the color wheel. If you mix them together, you will end up having a green, yellow sky. Try to make the color lighter where the yellow is going to meet blue. Okay, we have some blue on the top and some yellow at the bottom. I'm not really blending them, I'm just leaving it acts now with a smaller brush, this one is size number six. I'm going to add some clouds on to this background. For that I'm picking some brown. You can go with brown or burn sin, or burn temper. If the paint is watery, dap it on a paper towel. Now with that color, I'm going to add few clouds onto the background. They are mostly linear shaped clouds. You can go with any shape that you prefer. I'm adding them mostly where we have that yellow and blue junction, maybe one or two towards the bottom. I have added enough clouds, maybe we can add a few onto the top over here. That's how it has turned out. Now I'm going to clean my brush, then I'm going to dab it on a paper towel. Then with a clean, dry brush, I'm just merging those clouds to give it a softer look. I always does this. I'm not really sure how many of you do it. I feel this step gives those clouds a very soft and a beautiful look. It won't look too rough. Okay. That's how the sky has turned out. Now we need to add the landscape before the background dries up for that, I'm mixing some brown with pain scray. I want a color which is more like burnt umper. If you have burnt umper, you can use it directly or mix some burn scena or brown with pain scray or neuteltonow. Let's apply that color along this line here. Simply add a line first. The background is still wet, so they will nicely spread into the background, leaving a beautiful shape. Okay, at some places you can make it higher, at some places you can make it shorter, go the very organic shape. The only thing here is to add them while your background is still wet. You can go with any shape and size you prefer. That's not a problem right now. The color I'm using, it is much more honestly, this was a mistake. I picked up a darker tone by mistake, but I think it is looking nice. Maybe want to, you can go with a darker tone and introduce different tonal values in your background. Okay, so I'm just adding some more taco tone along the top. Then maybe we can add some taco tone along the bottom as full. Let's go with a much more taco tone. There is some brown paint spreading into the sky. I'm just wiping it off. Okay. What I was saying is that we could add some taco tones along the bottom. I'm going to make this area a bit more higher to cover up those brown. Okay, Now let's go with the taco tone. You can either go paints gray acetus or you can go the taco brown. Simply drop that along the bottom while your background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time. Drop that in before your background dries up. Once you have added your darker tones, you can just drag your brush towards the top to give it a more natural feel or you can just much it. Okay, We have a nice brownish color on the top and we have a darker tone along the bottom. That's our background. I feel like making those trees a little more higher. This one is completely optional. If you're happy with the result, you don't need to touch it, just leave it for trying. For me, I have the habit of going back again and modifying things over and over. Sometimes it used to end up really good, but sometimes I used to completely ruin my painting. This is how it has turned out. Luckily, I didn't ruin it. It is looking pretty decent. Maybe I will add some more taco tones. Then I will leave it for trying. Only at the bottom, I will add a little more taco tones. Okay, So that's a background. Finally I'm done with it now I'm going to leave it for trying. The background has tried completely. Next we're going to paint the snowy ground. For that, I will use indigo. I have some paint on my palette. I'll be using a medium tone of indigo. First, I will apply coat of water when I'm applying water next to that landscape. Be careful, leave a tiny cap. Don't let the water meet those landscape. Okay, so the background is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number six round brush. And I'm picking some paint and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel I don't want to paint that is too watery, that's why I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Now, I'm adding that medium tone onto the background. First, I will add that on the bottom section over here. It is just some random shapes. The color is Indico. Simply add them in onto your background. Try to leave some gap in between the paper. White is the snow, the rest is just the shadows. Okay, so don't fill up the entire area, leave some caps in between. Now, with the same tuna value, I'm adding some shadows in the top section. Just add a few lines over here. I'm not adding a lot. I'm adding more towards the bottom and less towards the top. Okay. Just a few lines are all we need and we need to retain some of the paper white. Okay. I will add a few more lines using a slightly darker tune. At the bottom, I'm just adding some random shapes to make it look more interesting. Just adding a few shapes, they can be super random. They don't need to have any particular size or shape, or thickness. Once you have added them, clean your brush. Now, with that clean, dry brush, smudge it very lightly. When you're smudging, don't put a lot of pressure. Be very gentle. See that? They're looking much more softer right now. Earlier they were quite rough. Okay. That's a snowy ground. If you want to add more deeper tones, you could do that. Maybe a few at the corner or where are you feel like. Okay. So that's a snowy ground. Whenever I feel like the clouds or the patterns I have added is quite rough and messy. I always go with a clean brush and I smirch it. It is actually a very light touch. I'm not putting a lot of pressure. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Now let's leave it for trying. Okay, my lovely friend. So that is dried, it is looking so beautiful. I'm happy with the colors and the weight is looking right now. Now our next task is to add some dry patterns on the ground. After that, we can add the trees. For both steps, I will be using a Taco Brown, which is a mix of paint screen and brown. You can use burned timber or you can just create a daco brown. Okay, I've taken some paint on my brush, now I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. I want to dry paint. Now, with that dry paint, I'm going to add some textures. If you guys remember earlier, we have added a line here, an inclined line. I'm folding that line while I'm adding these patterns. Okay. So go with any of your medium size brush and pick some taco brown on your brush, then dab it on a paper towel just to be sure the paint is not watery and it is dry. And then just keep on adding some dry patterns along that inclined line. Okay. After we're done with this, we will need to add the trees. If you don't have brown, just go with burn sina, mix that with paints gray or neu tel tan. Or you can go with burn timber as it is, and then create these dry patterns on the ground. Right now I'm focusing on that inclined line. I will add these dry patterns mostly on the top, and I will add only a little at the bottom. Okay. So this is the area where I'm focusing on those patterns. Doesn't need to have any particular shape or thickness, or anything. You can add them very randomly. See that? Just make sure your paint is dry. That's the only thing. Add them however you want. Okay, Now I'm picking more paint that looks really bold. I will need to dab it on a paper towel. Okay, this looks better. Just keep on adding them until you're happy with the result. Have a rough idea in your mind, where are you want to add those trees and focus on those areas when you're adding your dry patterns. Right here, I'll be adding one tree. Then behind that asphalt I will have another tree. Okay. So keep adding your dry patterns, keeping that in your mind. Now, I will add a few here, then at the bottom, At the bottom, I'm adding only a few, mostly onto the right bottom corner. Okay, just add a few, they don't need to be too prominent like the other patterns. Here's a closer look. You can clearly see they are very random patterns, they don't look that perfect. But that's totally fine. We are trying to create some texture here, It doesn't need to be perfect. In between, maybe you can use pinscsper to add the patterns. We have different tunel values. We have some darker brown and also some paints gray. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with the patterns even though it look quite messy. Once we add the trees, it will look a lot more better. Okay, so those are the dry patterns and the textures on the ground. Next, we can start adding the trees with the same brush. I'm going to add the trees. I will go with the daco tone of brown. Again, I'm mixing paint screen and brown to create a daco tone. Now with that, I'm going to add the trees. I'll start with this one here. First I will just add the tree trunk. You can add your trees wherever you want to, and you can go with any kind of shape. It can be straight or leading towards the left or right. Okay. So that's the first one. Now I'm making it a bit thicker. For now, let's add all the tree trunks, then we can add the branches later. For now, go with a thicker tree trunk, you can add them wherever you want to. Next, I'm going with this one here, you can see the color, It's a darker tone. I have mixed paints, gray and brown together to create this color. Now I'm making it thicker, go the similar thickness, or it can be a bit more thicker than this, that's really fine, but don't make it too thick. Okay, that's a second tree trunk. I think on the top I need to make it more thicker. It looks very thin on the top. Go with any shape that you prefer for the tree. And you can add them wherever you want to. It doesn't matter. You don't need to follow the same locations and the same way I'm adding it. Add them however you want to. Okay, that's the second tree. Now I'm going to add another one over here. That's a basic shape. Now I will make it thicker in a similar way. I'm going to add maybe five or six more trees. Try to go with different height and different orientations. Some of them can be straight and some of them can be slanting towards one side. Okay, that's my third one. Now I'm going to add a few more trees towards the root, leave it as an irregular shape. You don't need to put a lot of effort there. As we have a snowy ground, it will look like there is some snow along the roots. So Yeah, just don't worry about those things. Add trees however you want to. Okay. So I'm done adding all the bigger trees. I have six of them here. Next I'm going to add some shorter ones. I will add one here. Okay? It is thinner and shorter. Another one there. Now, we can add one more over here. You can add as many as you want. There is no limit. You can add more taller trees or shorter trees. Okay. I'm adding another one here. All right. So that's done next. We'll have to add the thinner branches. And for that I'm going to go with my size number two brush. And I'm going to add plenty of branches onto these. Okay? So go with any of your smaller brush or a push the pointed tip, a liner brush, or a rigor brush. Go with any brush that you're comfortable with with the same color. It's a mix of paint, screy, and brown. I'm going to add plenty of branches onto all these trees. Just like the trees, you can add them wherever you want to. You can add them in any direction. I want you guys to add plenty of branches. It will actually make your painting look very dense, like a forest. It will make your painting extra beautiful. Okay. Add in as many branches as you can. If you're bored, take a break and come back and add them later. Okay, I'm starting with this tree here. I have added quite a few branches. Next I will add for the shot or tree, the thickness is really important. You can see how thin and delicate they are, go the similar thickness. It's really important to go with the smaller brush or a detailing brush while you're adding these branches. Otherwise, they may appear really thick and it won't look nice. Yeah, this is the only task left. Keep on adding more and more branches and fill up all those trees. When you keep adding them, you will notice how beautiful the painting is turning out. This tip is something that you can overdo. There is no need to worry. You can add an aspen as you want, then adding branches onto these shorter trees in the background. Now I'm going to go with the bigger ones. You can add the branches wherever you want to. Just take a look at your painting and understand where you have a lot of space in your background. For example, I'm adding one here. Now on the other side as well, I have quite a lot of space. Okay, so I'm filling up all those spaces by adding these branches in between. You can add a few like this as well. Okay, keep adding them. This is the only task left. Try to go the similar thickness, don't make it too thick. Okay, so let's go ahead and add in all the branches. The brush I'm using here is size number two. It has got a really nice pointed tip. You can also use a liner brush if you prefer that, or any kind of brush of your is. Okay. Now keep on adding more and more branches. I'm done with the right side, now on the left, I'm adding more. Look at that. It turned out really beautiful, right? I'm very happy with the result. Now just take one more look, one final look at your painting, and if you feel there is some more spaces in between, add in a few more branches to fill up all those gaps. Okay, so I'm just extending those branches. Now there's one more task we need to do, which is adding some more texture on the ground. So I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel and I'm adding a few more patterns. And next to the trees here, I haven't added any. We added those trees later onto these places, added a few texture. Now there's one more thing that I'm going to do, which is adding some grassy lines with the same brush. Simply add some tiny, thin, delicate lines next to the trees. They have to be really thin. That is something you have to be careful about. Go with any of your detailing brush or a smaller brush. Now I'm adding a few towards the bottom. I don't want to overdo, so I will only add a few. I think this looks pretty fine. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Now if you want to add more grassy lines or more trees, you could do that. That's not a problem. It will definitely make your painting look more beautiful. Now, there's one more thing which you can do if you remember this painting we have done earlier for this trace, we have added some snowy pattern on the trees. Maybe in a similar way, you can add some snow textures onto the tree or you can just leave it as it is. Okay, that's a painting for the D. Now I'm going to peel off the masking tape and here is a gorgeous winter forest. I cannot tell you how much I love this painting, those tech shows and that moody look. Everything is looking so good. If you haven't tried it yet, be sure to give it a try. I'm very sure you will love this result. Okay, so thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next Winter landscape. 17. Day 14 - Frosty Mountain: Hello dear friends. Welcome to D 14. So here's our super snow, super dramatic mountain that we're going to paint today. The process is really interesting and even the painting, and I'm sure the techniques you will explore in this painting will help you in your future projects. Now let's take a look at the colors you will need for this painting. You will only need three colors. It can be two if you skip turquoise blue, which is the color I'll be using for the sky. Okay. This one is actually azure blue from white night. It is very similar to turquoise blue. I could not find my turquoise blue. I have misplaced it. This is the color I'll be using. You can use turquoise blue instead. Okay, that's a color if you want to go for a different color for your sky. It could be presume ultramarine blue or even purple. You could go with that. It doesn't need to be blue. Now, the second color you will need is in Tico, which is the color I'll be using to add the shadows on the snowy mountain. It's for a base layer, maybe you can use the same color for the sky as well. Now, the last color you will need is paints gray on your Treltond. If you don't have these two colors, you can go with plaque. We'll be using a taco value of this color to add the textures. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. It's a limited color palette and the painting is also quite simple. Okay, so without wasting any more time, let's give it a try. All right, so let's start with the sketch. The one and only element of this painting is a huge mountain, and that's the only sketch you need to add. The sketch is really important, especially that line at the center, on the left side of the mountain, we will use more of darker tones, and on the right we will use lighter tones. This line at the center is really important. Okay, so go with a very nice flowy line. Maybe I can change it a little bit. Okay, That's a line as we're painting, we will add all the shadows and the details following that line. You don't need to add these lines. I'm just showing you how to add them. Okay, so we'll add some on this side, and similarly, we'll also be adding a few on the other side as well. Okay, so that is Sketch, keep it ready. And also the first color you will need is Indico. That's the only color you will need for the first stage of this painting. Okay, keep it ready on your palette. Now I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the left side. That's where I'm starting with. Go with any of your mbrush or flatbrush or any brush that you prefer. Apply a coat of water following the outline you have there. Don't add any water onto the other side. This is really important. Okay, I'm using my size number eight brush here and I'm applying a clean coat of water, carefully following the outline. It's good to go with a smaller brush or a medium size brush so that it won't accidentally add any water onto the other side. Okay, I made it evenly wet. Now using my other brush, this one is size number six. I'm going to add all the shadows. To begin with, we will need a medium tone of Indico. Add a few drops of water and turn your paint into a medium tone. Okay, now we need to add that medium tone onto the wet background. First, I will add that along the outline we have here along the bottom. Carefully follow that outline and add a new paint. You can see how it is spreading into the background because the background is wet. Now, just add some lines from that cove line towards the bottom in an inclined way. While you're adding those lines, try to leave some gap in between. We need to see those white spaces as well. Don't forget the entire area. Just keep on adding some lines while leaving some white space. Okay, it might look a bit messy at this point, but that's totally fine. We're going to add some textures onto this later. Now, I'm going to clean my brush with a clean right brush. I'm just merging it a little to give it a softer look. Okay, so that's a foosttep. Now, in case if you want to modify the shape at the center or if you want to add more paint, you could do that right now. Okay, I'm really happy with the colors now. We'll have to wait for this to dry. After that, we can go the second section, which is on the right side. For that, I will use more of lighter tones and also I'll be only adding a few lines, not this much. Okay, that's it now, let's leave it for drying. Okay, my dear friend, that is right completely. Now we can go to the second section. Just on the right. Now for the other section, Asphal, we're going to go with better on wet technique which means you'll have to apply a coat of water onto that entire section. But this time you have to be extra careful as we have painted the other side. Okay, So carefully apply water following that outline. Don't add any water onto the other side. Only apply a gentle coat. Don't add a lot of water. Okay, that's it. I have made it evenly wet. Next, I'm going back with my size number six on brush and I'm picking some paint. It's indigo. Again, if you paint this to water, you dab it on a paper towel before you start. Now from the bottom corner, I'm adding some paint towards the top. See that? I'm creating those shadows. We don't need a lot. We're going to reach in most of the paper wide, only add a few lines from the bottom corner towards the top. If you have noticed, I didn't add much paint along that coval line. Now over there, I'm just munching it. I don't want to disturb the other side. I'm being very careful. Okay, that's done with that. We're done painting the base layer of our majestic mountain. Now we'll have to wait for this to try, Okay, that is completely dried. Now our next step is to paint the sky. For that, I'm going to use a bigger brush. The color you're going to use, the turquoise blue. I'm not applying water. I'm going with the paint directly. I will start with the medium tone, then I will make it lighter as I'm approaching the mountain. Now if you want to go for a different color for your sky, that's totally fine. You can go with pink, or purple, or any other kind. Blue, That is totally your choice. I'm using turquoise, blue. It's a medium tone. With my bigger brush, I'm applying that on the top. Now, I have picked up some clean water and I'm making it lighter at the bottom. Try to go the round brush so that you can apply it along the outline of your mountain. If it's a flat brush, it might be a bit difficult. But just go with any brush you're comfortable with and apply the paint onto the sky. I have made it lighter and also have switched to a smaller brush. I'm filling up these areas around the mountain with the other brush I was not really sure if I'll be able to do it, have switched to a smaller brush to make it easier. Okay. So I'm picking more paint. I'm adding that on the other side. Yeah. It's a very simple gradient wash. I'm using turquoise blue here. You can go with indigo or Prussian blue or any other blue of you chose. We just need a medium tone on the top and lighter tone towards the bottom. The only tricky part here would be applying the paint around the mountain. Be a little careful and apply it slowly. Okay, so the sky is done. It's a beautiful color. I love R is blue. And I think it is going very well with our majestic snowy mountain. Actually, I'm done. But then I'm thinking of adding summer paint only onto the top to make it a bit more brighter. Okay, looks perfect. So that's our sky now, I'm going to leave it for trying. Okay, everything has dried completely. Now we are coming to the most interesting part of this painting is adding some dried textures. That's only task alert. We're going to add a lot of textures to make it look more realistic. Right now it is quite flat. Okay, that's the next task and the only task for that, the color I'm going to use is paint screen. We will start with the left side and I'm going to add them to the areas where I've added those medium tones. We will add them in a sloping way. Okay, let's give it a try with my smaller brush. This one is size number two. I'm picking some paint screen now. I will take my paper towel and I will tap the pressure on a paper towel multiple times just to be sure the paint is really, really dry. Keep dabbing it on a paper towel or a cotton cloth until you're sure the paint is dry. Now, from that irregular line, I'm going to simply add some dry patterns towards the bottom in an inclined manner. Okay? The major part here is to go with a dry paint. Make sure your paint is dry. You can try it on a scrap piece of paper and then keep adding them in a sloping way. You can see the kind of patterns. They don't need to have any particular size or shape, or anything. You just need to keep adding them in an inclined manner to emphasize on the slope. The paint has to be dry. That's the most important thing. Now the brush I'm using here is size number two. Go to the smaller brush. It could be size number three, or four, or even five. The thing is, if you use a smaller brush, those patterns will be really small. It will make it look more realistic. If the patterns are really big, you won't get that sense of distance in your painting. It's very important to go to the smaller brush. First, I'm adding those texts along that irregular line we have at the center. Then gradually I will move towards the bottom. Okay, once you get the hang of it, it's a very easy technique. If you're not really sure about the consistency of your paint, try it on a scrap piece of paper. Once you're really sure about the consistency, try it on your main painting. Okay. There's no way you're going to make a mistake. If you have a dry paint on your brush, you can add them however you want. There is no particular rule or anything here. Yeah, it is just about adding some messy dry textures onto that background. Don't rush. Take it slow. We don't want to make it too busy. Okay, just keep on adding them. Maybe you can go with the areas where you have applied your medium tones in the background, then you can add a few in between Aspho, that's a top part of the mountain, and you can see the difference those textures made. It is looking so beautiful already. In a similar way, we have to add a lot more patterns. Dry brush technique is a very interesting technique when you're painting snowy mountains. It is simple, it is messy, but then the impact it will bring onto your mountain is so amazing. So don't be scared if you're a total beginner, give it a try, trust me on that. Okay. Now I'm going to add more patterns onto a lower area. We have added enough onto the top. Now we have this lower area left. In a similar way. I will add some patterns over there Asper. So these texture that we're adding right now is the rock which is underneath the snow. Okay. So if you want to give it a more rocky texture, you can add more patterns. Or if you want to make it super snowy, you can reduce the amount of patterns and leave your background color actus. Okay? So those things are totally your choice the way you want your mountain to be. Right now, the only element in our painting is this gigantic mountain. But just in case you're painting a mountain in the background, you don't need to add these many patterns. You can even go for a lighter tone of paint scray and add only a few patterns. Okay, now I'm picking more paint. Every time you have taken paint on your brush, make sure to dab it on a paper tower. We only need dry paint. The paint should not be watery or loose. Dab it on a paper tower before you add those patterns. Not go ahead and add enough of patterns. At some places it can be a thicker and a bigger pattern like the ones I'm adding right now. But other than that, keep them simple. Don't make it too crowded. See in between. It can be similar patterns which is a bit more prominent and bigger, and darker. Other than that, the rest can be small, simple shapes. Okay, this area is nearly done. There's a small section along the lower side over here. I'm not planning to add much there. I think it is looking pretty nice. Let it be that way. Next, I'm going to go with the right side. On this side, I'm not planning to add much. I will add a few on the top, maybe towards the bottom, especially towards the bottom right corner, I will add bigger patterns. The rest is going to be very simple. I don't want to make it too crowded and busy. Let's make this slope more prominent on this side. Okay, let's add in the patterns. I'm adding them only in between. It's the same way, I'm adding them in a slope. Okay, now let's add a little onto this side. We have a bump here. Let's add a few there. That's it. The top part is looking really nice. I have only added a few patterns throughout this entire side. I'm adding similar patterns which are not too loud and prominent, but only towards the bottom right corner. I might add some more bigger and bolder patterns. I'm hoping you guys are clear with the idea. If you're still not sure, try it on a scrap piece of paper and once you get that hang off it, try adding them on your main painting. Trust me, it is not a complicated technique. It is only the matter of getting that consistency right. The rest is quite easy. Now, I'm going to quickly add few more patterns, some small patterns. Then onto the bottom right corner, I will introduce some bigger patterns. This is the area I'm talking about. This corner, you can see the patterns I'm adding, They are a bit more prominent and loud. I'm adding similar patterns only on this corner. This is not really necessary. Only if you want to make some of those patterns more prominent, you could do that. Otherwise, go with that simple soft patterns, you can see how easily we created a beautiful snowy mountain. It's only the matter of adding those shadows and then introducing the textures. Right now, it's only one single mountain, but you can create a cluster and use the same technique. Go for a landscape paper and then try a bigger one. And let's see how that is going to turn out. Just use the same technique and when that has dried, introduce your textures. Okay, I'm nearly done with this bottom corner. I have added plenty of pattern there, but the left side is pretty empty, so I'm going to add a few more patterns onto the left. And I think with that we can call it done here. I'm adding some small simple patterns. They are not very allowed. Okay. I will add a few more. Let me tell you, if you look at those patterns very closely, they are super messy. They don't have any meaning or any kind of shape or anything. But when you look at your painting as a whole, it really has a meaning. It tells a beautiful story. I think this is a good point to stop your painting if you're happy with the result, but if you want to add more, you could do that. That's not a problem. You can make it more dramatic and interesting. I'm going to add a few more. I'm not really sure if I will ruin it anyway. I'm just going with my instinct and I'm going to add a few more patterns. It's going to be mostly some bigger prominent patterns on this bottom right corner. Okay, so this is how it has turned out. I feel like adding some more darker patterns on the left side. I won't add much, only onto the tip. I will add a little more. But then if you're happy with your results, you don't need to add them again. I have taken some extra paint on my brush and I'm adding some bigger, thicker Dako patterns in between. Not a lot, only onto the top part. We are nearly done, so we had to try it. Give it a try. It's a fantastic technique to paint snowy mountains. You can add more patterns or less patterns, just with the amount of patterns you choose to add. You can bring in different kind of characters in your mountain. It can be more rocky or more snowy. If you want a very dramatic and interesting looking mountain, add in more and more pattern and make it so expressive. Yeah, that's a gorgeous snowy mountain. The magic element here is a paper towel or a cotton cloth. Once you have taken paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel or a cotton cloth, and make sure it is completely dry. And then go ahead with adding those patterns. You can see how dramatic and expressly those patterns have turned out in a way that's our metas sticks. Noi Mountain for the D. Now I'm going to pick off the masking tape so that we can take a closer look at those patterns. I want you guys to give it a try. If I had to try it at the beginning, it might look a bit complex, but when you start adding them, it will start to look really beautiful. Okay? So give it a try if you had to try it. And let me know if you like it. 18. Day 15 - Winter Day: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 15, which means we are halfway through this winter challenge. Today, we're going to try a very pleasant and peaceful winter landscape as usual. Let's start by looking at the colors we will need. The first color you will need is obviously ultramarine blue. I'll be using ultramarine blue to paint the snowy ground. That's the first color you will need. Then for the sky, you can use any blue of your choice. I have used a cerulean blue here for the sky. Okay. This one is ultramarine blue. Siiliar can use ultramarine blue for the sky Asper, that's not a problem. We will use a medium tone of ultramarine blue to paint the snowy ground. Next, as I mentioned earlier, the color you will need for the sky, which is erulian blue, go with any blue of your choice, preferably a pleasant bright blue, even turquoise blue will work. Okay, that's a second color. I allow to use cerulean blue for skies. It really is a magical color. Now, the next color you will need is a mix of sap, green, and vermin. We have tried a similar pattern for of painting. I hope you guys remember that. So I'm just mixing some sap green with vermeline. It's a color which is more like olive green. Okay, that's a color I've using for that landscape in the background. We'll add them on a wet background. Now the final color you will need is a Daco Brown. You can see the color I use for the tree, it is actually a mix of Vermlin and Paintcray. We need a Daco Brown. You can go with brown or burn sina just because we had some vermalin already on the palette. I thought of just mixing that with paint scree and creating a daco brown. I will also be using paint scra acids for adding some branches and some details. Okay, that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Now it's time to give it a try. Here's a closer look of the colors. You will eat ultramarine blue, cerullin blue, then olive green, a darker brown, and also some paints gray. Okay. So keep all the colors ready and let's give it a try. Okay, my lovely friends, I have fixed my paper and also have the colors ready. Now the first thing I'm going to do is adding this sketch. First we can add the horizon line, which can be a bit below the center of the paper. It is just a straight line. Okay, now I'm going to convert the ground into two sections. For that, I'm adding a line here, just an irregular line. Ping down. Just add a line like this for now, we can do the rest as we paint. Next, I'm going to add the trees. This is not really necessary. You can just add some reference line for now. You can modify it however you want As you paint for now, I'm just adding two lines just to indicate where I want to add them. Okay, that's a sketch. It is pretty simple. I will only be adding two trees. If you want to go for three or four, that's totally fine. All right, so we have the sketch ready. Now, let's start by painting the snowy ground. We will use ultra marine blue. That is the only color we will need for the first step. Okay, So I will apply coat of water onto the entire ground. I'm adding the water as two sections. First I will add it at the bottom along that line we have added. Okay. So once you're done applying water onto that bottom section, you can apply onto the top section, leaving a tiny gap in between, especially onto the top corner over here. See that towards the right, you can just fill it up. It is not really necessary to leave any cap only on the left. Try to leave a tiny gap, very tiny. Don't add a lot of gap. Okay, So that is evenly wet. So this is where I have the cap, a tiny one. Okay? Now I'm going to keep this pressure side and I'm switching to my smaller brush. This one is size number six. I will make sure it's clean. Now let's go with a medium tone of ultramarine blue. Whenever I'm painting a bright snowy day, I always use ultramarine blue. If it's a sunset or a dull le, I'll go with Indico. That's a color palette I normally follow. This one is a very bright sunny winter day and we can use ultramarine blue for the ground. Okay, the background is evenly wet. Now I'm going to start applying the paint from the bottom corner. If it's too wet, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Otherwise, it will spread a lot and it will be very difficult to control the way of spreading. Now I'm adding paint onto this bottom right corner first, closer to the tree. I won't be adding a lot of paint. I'm adding these shadows only at the bottom. And you can see in between, I'm leaving some gaps. That is very important when you're adding paint onto your ground. Now, next to the tree, I'm just adding one or two lines, and that's it. Now if needed, you can go the brighter tone of ultramarine blue. And you can just add a few more lines at the bottom, only onto the bottom. Okay, that's the bottom part. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to paint the top section. First, I will add paint behind the tree, right over here following that line. Okay, I have added some paint. Now I'm cleaning my brush. And then I'm just going to spread it like this. Okay? So we need a lighter tone next to the tree, right where the trees are standing behind that. We need a medium tone just to make it look like these are two separate sections. This one is nearly done, but there is one more thing that I want to do. I'm cleaning my brush, and with a clean, dry brush, I'm just taking out some paint along this line to separate those sections. Okay. So that's how it has turned out now. We could leave it for trying. Okay, so let us write completely Next we can paint the background, which is the sky and the landscape. For that, you will need some ceriliin blue, sap, green and vermalion. Before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. Okay, once you have it ready, you can start by applying coat of water onto the entire sky. Gently apply it. We only need an even coat of water. Don't add a lot. Okay, the sky is even wet. Now we can start applying the paint onto this wet background. First, we will paint the blue sky. For that, I'm going to use my flat brush First, I will make sure it is clean. Okay. This one is a half inch flat brush. The color I'm using here, a seruliin, blue. Go with any blue of your choice. Apply that onto the top of your sky as you come down. Make it slightly lighter. It's a simple sky. We'll simply apply grade and wash. Then we will introduce the landscape. Okay, let's begin. I have a medium tone of cerulin blue on my brush. I'm going to apply that to the top. That's a tonal value. Go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. We want a bright blue for the sky. Okay, I have reached almost the center now. I will clean my brush and I will make the rest a lighter. Clean your brush. No matter which blue you're using, make it a little lighter towards horizon. I'm using a clean brush and I'm running my brush left and right in a horizontal direction. It is good to go with the flatbrush. Preferably a bigger one half inch or 34 inch will work. Okay. Start with a medium tone, then make it a little lighter towards horizon. I'm not really happy with the blend. I'm just going to run my brush one more time to make it a clean blend. Okay, so that's a background. I'm really happy with the blend. Initially, I wasn't now onto this wet background. We need to add the landscape, so I'm keeping this pressure side and I'm switching to my round brush. The color we're going to use is a mix of sap, crane, and verme. We need a color which is similar to olive green. If you have olive green with you, you can use it directly. You're going to mix. Okay, I'm just mixing some sacre with vermeion. I'm creating a color which is similar to olive green. Okay, now I'm going to apply that color onto the wet background. That's a color I have created. It's a beautiful green. Now simply add a shape onto your wet background. It can be higher at some places and lower at some places. You can go with any shape that you prefer. Okay, now simply add a shape onto that Te horizon. I'm planning to make it a bit higher on the left as I go to at the right, I'm going to make a little lower. That's what I'm going to do. You can compose your painting however you want. It can be the same height throughout or maybe it can be all lower. Okay. So just add these shapes however you like. Adding them on a wet background is what matters over here. I have made it really high on the left and towards the right. I have added that as a shorter cluster. Now I'll just add some more taco tones before it tries up. I'm picking more paint with the same brush and I will add some taco tone at the bottom. Maybe we can modify the shape as those things are totally your choice. You can add or modify however you like. I'm just adding some more shapes on the top. Okay. Now maybe we can add some more taco tones using paints. Gray only at the bottom. It is actually looking quite decent holiday, so if you want to call it done at this point, that's totally fine. I just felt like adding some more tipo tone only at the bottom, mostly towards the left side where we have that Picker cluster. I'm picking a little of paints gray and I'm mixing that with sap, cream with that color. I'm just adding some random shapes here. It looks like my background has almost dried. This wasn't a good choice. Anyway I'm adding it, I'm just adding a few patterns, very rough random patterns. Now what I'm going to do is I will clean my brush. Then with a clean brush, I will gently such it, if your background is still wet, you don't need to smuch it would have nicely spread into the background, leaving a beautiful texture. Okay, I'm done adding the daco tones, now I'm cleaning my brush with a clean, dry brush. I'm just sing it very gently. If I put a lot of pressure it will leave some brush mark. Be very gentle. If you're smuing, use only the tip of your brush. Okay, That's a background, I think it is looking quite okay now let's leave it for trying. Okay, that is right, completely. Next we're going to add some rocks and some textures onto the background. For that you will need a daco brown. I'm picking some vermin. Then I will mix that with paints create. To create a daco brown, you can use burn sina or brown. I don't want to take out a new color By mixing these two, you can easily create a daco brown. I thought why. Anyway, we need a dry paint to add those textures, grab a paper towel and tap your brush on a paper towel before you start. Now with that dry paint, I'm going to simply add some tiny shapes onto the background. So I'm just going to leave the bottom part as it is. I won't be touching that. I will add these tiny shapes only onto the background area which is right below those trees. Okay? It can be some tiny dot and some small shapes go the similar size, don't make it too huge. We're adding them only on the left. Keep that also in mind. At the beginning, it might not look very nice, but you have to keep adding them. And you need to add a lot of rocks there and then it will look really nice. Let's keep adding them. You can see the size I'm going with go the similar size. Just have some random shapes there. It can be a small shape or a dot. See that with any of your smaller brush or a medium size brush, just keep on adding similar shapes. Don't add too many close to each other. We need to see that white color also in the background, which is the snow. Now you can see the weight is turning out, it looks better. Now, earlier we have only added a little and it was looking quite weird. But now when we added a lot of them, it is looking really beautiful. I think it really looks like those rocks far away. Let's keep on adding maybe a few more. I'm just making some of them a bit more bicker. Okay. That's how it has turned out. I think it is looking really nice. I hope you are enjoying the process too. Maybe we can add a few more, some tiny ones. All right. So those are the rocks in the background. I have added enough. I don't want to overdo and mess it up. I think right now it's looking really nice. Okay. Now I'm going to clean my brush. There is one thing that I want to do before I go the next step, I have cleaned my brush properly. Now I'm going to go back with some ultramarine blue. Take only a little paint and also a lighter tune. Now with that paint, I'm going to add a line here to separate the top and the bottom section. Now I'm cleaning my brush with a slightly damp brush. I'm just smudging that, I'm not disturbing those rocks earlier. The color was not really visible. It doesn't look like two separate sections. Just to separate those two sections, I'm adding some more paint here and I'm being very careful. I'm not touching the rocks. I don't want to mess it up. Okay. That's how it has turned out. We have some nice blurry trees and also some rocks in the background. Now, after this has dried, we will add some trees in the foreground. Okay, so let's leave it for drying. Okay, now let's add the trees and for that I'm going with a dark brown again but is a mix of Verman and paint scray. You can go with burn temper or it can create a darker tone of brown by mixing some paint scray with brown or burn cena. It doesn't need to be vermean. Okay, now let's add the first tree. The brush I'm using here is size number six. The trees that we're going to add are very simple trees. I'm starting with the first one. I'm adding that over here. Okay. So, go with a darker brown and add the tree trunk. Then on to that we will add some branches. I would add one more tree right next to that. You can place it wherever you want to. And if you want to add three or four of them, that's totally fine. But go the similar thickness, we are not going to add a lot of details, don't go for a big bulky tree. That's the kind of thickness I'm going with. Okay? Now, as you're reaching the bottom, closer to the roots, leave it with an irregular shape. Okay? Just add an irregular shape and fill it up. That's all you need. It will look like there is some snow over there. That's our first tree. Now let's go the second one. We can add the tree trunk, then we can start adding the branches. Okay. So that's my second tree. I'm making a bit more thicker. You can add three or four. It doesn't need to be two, and it doesn't need to be in the same shape and at the same spot you can compose your painting. How would you want to? Okay, now onto these two, I'm going to add plenty of branches. That's how we make it look more beautiful. Right now, it looks quite weird without those branches. Let's go with the smaller brush. This one is size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip, and add in plenty of branches onto these two trees. We need some thin, delicate branches. It's better to go with a smaller brush, or a detailing brush, or a liner brush, any brush that you're comfortable with. I'm starting by adding a branch here. Okay, that's the first one. You can see the thickness, It is very thin and delicate. Go in a similar way. Now let's add another one over here. Adding plenty of branches, it will make your tree look more interesting. Honestly, you don't need to look at the screen. You can add the branches however you want. It doesn't need to be in the same way. You can add them on the top or at the bottom, or towards the left or right. Those things are totally your choice. So go ahead and add in plenty of branches. I'm going to add one more in between these two just to make it look more denser. A tiny one. Okay, let's add another one here. This tree is looking quite fine now. We need to add more on the other one, which is on the left. We haven't added much onto this one. Let's finish off that quickly. After that, we will need to add some texture onto the tree using white paint, which is the only task left. Okay, so let's quickly add in some more branches and make our trees more pretty. Okay, the trees are done and I'm really happy with it. Now, the same rush. I'm going to add some grassy lens here or some small plants. You can call it whatever we want to call from here. I'm adding some thin lines like this. That's the first one. It's not a grass, it's more like a plant, a dried one. Now, another one here, maybe you can add a few more. Okay, that's it, that's how it has turned out. Now, as I said earlier, we need to add some textures onto the tree, but before that we'll have to wait for this to dry. We'll be adding those new textos only onto the tree trunk and also to the thicker branches. I'm guessing in the meantime, I can add some more branches to make my tree more and more beautiful. I'm just extending these and I'm adding some more branches. If you're happy with the results, you don't need to add any more extra branches, just leave it the weights. I just thought of adding a few more. Maybe one more here. Another one there. That's it. That's how it has turned out, the tree trunk and the major thicker branches have dried up. I'm cleaning my brush and I'm switching to white paint. It doesn't need to be white. Gui, just go with white. Articular, that's fine. Or if you want to go with quash, even that is totally okay. Either way, just take out some white paint onto your palette. Just a little is fine. Okay, so the paint is ready and my brush is clean. Now, I'm picking some paint. I haven't added any water. It's a dry paint. If you want, you can dab it on a paper towel before you start. Now we're going to add some right textures onto the tree trunk. Mostly onto the tree trunk. And if you need to you can add some onto the branches sat well. Okay, so just add some random patterns onto the tree to show the snow. This one is completely optional. If you don't want to add them, it's totally fine, you don't need to add it. But by adding the textos, your tree will look a little more snowy. That's the main reason we're adding it onto one side of your tree. Add some random textos like this. We still have to see the brown color in the background. Don't cover it up. Add only a little here and there. Now I'm adding a few onto the top. It can be just a random shape or it can be a thick line or a broken line. You can add it however you want. In between, maybe you can add some shapes as well. That's the first tree. Now in a similar way, I'm going to add some textures onto the other tree. You can see the difference here. I think the one with the snow is looking more beautiful. The other one looks quite plain and empty. It doesn't have any furnished look. It looks quite lifeless. That's what I feel. If you want to add them, you could add them in. Otherwise, you can just leave it as brown trees. Even that is totally fine. Okay. I'm just adding a few onto the branch of Sasha, onto the thicker ones. We have one here. Okay, that's it. This tree is completely done. Now, let's go with the other one. Okay, we're done adding the textures and this how it has turned out. Now over here I feel it is a bit empty. What I'm going to do is I will co pack with a bit of ultramarine blue, a light tone. Take only very little paint on your brush. Okay, now with that, I'm going to add a few lines. To me, it looks like it is very empty. The lines we have added earlier, it is not at all visible. Let's go with some lighter tone of ultramarine blue. We could add some lines, see that they're not too prominent. Go with a similar tonal value and adding a few lines in between to create some texture here. Don't add a lot, we only need a few lines here and there, and that's it. Now in case if you already have some lines there, you don't need to add them again in my painting, as you can see here, there isn't any lines. It looks quite plain and empty. That's why I added them again. Anyways, with that, we are done with our painting. I think it turned out really beautiful. I just love those pleasant colors. I hope you guys are happy with your painting too. Now let's peel off the masking tape. All right, my dear friend. So here is the painting. I cannot tell you how much I love this color palette. It's a beautiful, pleasant and peaceful winter day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next winter landscape. 19. Day 16 - Aurora Borealis: Hello, my dear friends. Welcome back and welcome today. 16. Today we're going to paint another easy and simple Northern Lights. You can do this painting in less than 15 minutes and even the process is really exciting. Let's start by looking at the colors you will need for this car. Just Northern lights. The colors I'm going to use for the sky is a green and blue. These are the colors to green light and into. I'm sure you all have into, but this green might not be really common. You can go with any bright green you have called, can just mix some lemon yellow with viridian green or sap green and create a bright green. Okay, those are the two colors I'll be using for the sky. I will spatch it out. It's a really bright noni green. That's a color, when you use it alongside a darker tone, it will look really beautiful because of that contrast. Okay, the second color you will need is into, I don't have much paint here. I think I will need to squeeze out a little. Thetic uses from art philosophy. The green is from. Senese are the two colors I'll use for the sky. Here is a closer look. We need a lighter color and a darker color to create the contrast in the northern lights. Now the next color you will need is brown and paint screen. These are the two colors I used for the mountain. This one is paint screen. Now finally, you will need some brown asphalt or burnsena. Both the colors will work. We just need a darker tone for the mountain. All right. That summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. Along with this, you will also need some white watercolor or white gas to add the stars on the sky. All right, so keep the colors ready and let's give it a try. Now for this painting, you will have to fix your paper onto a board. We'll have to tilt ten. Turn around our paper for a beautiful blend. Okay? Don't fix your paper onto your table. Fix it onto any surface which you can lift and turn around. Okay, now I'm starting by adding the sketch. We just need to add a mountain. That's the kind of shape I'm going with. You can add it however you want. All right, the sketch is ready. I already have the colors on my palette. Here's a closer look. We just need a simple mountain, nothing complicated. Have grain and indico. Those are the two colors you will need for the sky. Once you have them ready, you can apply a coat of water onto the entire sky. See any of your white brush? It can be a round brush or a flat brush. It doesn't matter. We just need an even coat of water and try not to add any water onto the mountain. Okay. Now gently apply an even coat of water onto the entire sky. I'm hoping you guys have your colors ready. We will need a green and indico, or you can go for a different color combination of your choice. It doesn't matter but keep the colors ready. Okay. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my round brush. This one is size number eight. You can go with similar brush. It could be six, or eight, or seven, or any other number. Okay, I'm starting with green. I will add some random cov, shapes with green, swirly shapes. Then I will go with into, pick some green on your brush. That's the color I'm using, it's a brighter tone. Now I will add some swirly lines using this color on this wet background. See that go in a similar shape, make your Northern lights look more beautiful. That is the first line. I'm making it a bit more thicker. Now I'm adding another one right about that. Now, another one here. A little below to the first one. Okay, That is green. You can see the way the paint is spreading on that wet background. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm switching to Indigo. We need to introduce indigo onto all these in between spaces with a darker tone. Only if you use a darker tone, you can create a contrast here. Okay, now let's add that color onto these spaces we have here. I'm starting from the top corner, I'm filling the space, now. I'm going to add that in between these green lines. Now in a similar way, we have to add that over here as well. Pick more paint and add them onto these spaces. We have here addio paint quickly before the background dries up. We have some more space at the bottom behind this mountain. I'm filling those spaces as well. Okay, I have applied paint onto the entire background. Now you can tilt ten. Turn around your paper so that the paint can float into each other, creating a natural blend. If you feel like you need to add in some more paint, you could do that. Right now, I have taken some green on my brush and I'm pushing the paint in a swirly way to create a beautiful blend there. Let's do that again over here. See that I just cleaned up all those edges and I made those lines more flowy. Now we can tilt, turn around our paper to give it a very natural blend. There is some paint missing over there. I will need to add that in over here. Okay, the rest is looking quite nice. Now, in case if you want to add in more paint, you can do that right now before your background dries up. If you want to add some more green or some more integral that can be done, but only if your background is still wet. If it is starting to dry, it's a good idea to leave it as it is without disturbing that again. Okay. I've just added some more paint at the bottom. Now over here, I think there is a hard edge. I'm just pushing and pulling that to the green paint to give it a softer look also over here. Okay, That's how it has turned out. I think it is pretty good. Now, before we leave it for drying, there is one more thing which we can do to give it a more softer and smoother look. For that, you will need a clean brush. Clean your brush, and dab it on a paper towel. That clean brush very softly smudge the paint along those lines. Be very gentle, don't put a lot of pressure. This will make those lines look very smooth. Also, we can prevent the colors from spreading too much. Okay, now over here, very gently smudging the paint. I'm cleaning up that shape. See that? You can see the way how I'm doing it. It's only the tip of my brush and I'm not putting a lot of pressure. If you put a lot of pressure, the brush marks will be visible. So be very gentle when you're doing this step. And if you feel like your blend is clean and perfect, you don't need to do this step. Anyways, that's a result. That's our beautiful sky. Now let's leave it for drying. All right, so the sky has dried. And here's the result. The colors are a bit tell than earlier, but never mind. That's how t color is. I'm happy with the way it has turned out. These solly lines are looking really beautiful. Now the next task is to splatter some stars for which you can use some white gage or white aticlar. I'm going to go with white aticular, but if you prefer using white gage, that's totally fine, Just squeeze out some paint onto your palette. Okay. Now, once your color is ready, maybe you can cover up the mountain that we won't accidentally splatter any stars onto the mountain. Now to add the stars, I'm going to go with my size number six trash. First, I will make sure it is clean. Then I will pick some white paint. If it's too watery, dap it on a paper towel. We don't want the white paint to be too watery. If it's too watery, you will end up getting big splatters. It won't look like stars once you've taken the paint. If you're not really sure about the consistency, tap it on a paper towel, then you can start splattering the stars. Now before you start, I'm going to cover the mountain using a paper towel. Okay, now using another brush. I'm going to tap on this point to create some teeny tiny stars. Keep splattering. And keep adding more and more stars. I'm adding them mostly on the top part. Over here I have a taco to, the stars will be really visible on the green areas, it might not really show up. Okay, so focus on the darker areas. I added more stars. I think I have added enough and they are looking really nice. Next, with the same brush, I'm going to add some bigger stars as well. I'm picking some more paint. I'm just going to add some dots in a very random way. I've added one here, now another one over here. Just adding a bigger dots very randomly to make your sky look more attractive. There is a bigger plata over here, which I will fix. Let me quickly add these stars. Okay, I think it is looking really nice. I have added enough of stars. Now I'm going to clean my brush. Then I'm going to pick some indico. I'm going to cover this up. Okay, that is done. That's our sky. Now the next task is to paint the mountain. We already spoke about the colors. You will need some brown bancina and some paint screy. Okay? Keep the colors ready on your palette before you start. I already have some paints, clay on my palette. The next color I will need is brown. This one is permanent brown. From art philosophy. I will take out some paint, then I will start painting the mountain. Okay, I have the colors reading. The color we need is a Daco brown. Maybe you can use burn timber or you can just mike some burn sina brown with paint. Scrayow, I'm going to mix these two colors together to create a daco brown. Okay, the color is ready. First, I will apply this paint at the bottom. Over here, it's a Daco tom. I have just mix some paint, scray with brown towards the bottom. You can simply apply that taco tone, it's more like black. Next, I'm adding some brown into the same color. Now I'm using that brownish color on the top. As I'm applying the paint. I will lay some caps in between. Just give it a watch. Some teeny tiny shapes and some lines. When you're applying your paint itself. Some caps like this, it will look like the snow. See that they don't need to have any particular shape or size or anything. You can simply leave some spaces in between. Like this, it's more like a line and also some tiny dots. See that? We only need a few on the top. Don't overdo. Okay, that's a bigger mountain. Now we have one move right behind this, we'll have to paint that also in a similar way. Go the brownish color on the top. And you say taco towards the bottom. Now, I'm just going to fill it up. All right, so that's a first mountain. I'm really happy with the way it has turned out. Now maybe we can make this part a bit more taco. The color on the tip of the mountain is more brownish and towards the bottom it is more blackish. Okay. Now we'll have to leave this for trying and then we can start with the other section. Okay, So let's right completely now, we can paint the second mountain. For this, I will start with the tip, then I will fill up the bottom part. Okay, First I will mike some brown with paint scray to create that brownish color. And I will use that color on the tip of the mountain. Then towards the bottom, I will make it more darker. Keep in mind when you're applying the paint, you need to leave some gaps in between. That is really important to create that snowy field for the mountain. Okay, we'll start applying the paint. This one is a very simple, a beautiful technique to create a snowy mountain. And it goes very well with a night sky. All you have to do is just leave some caps when you're applying the paint. It can be some linear shapes and some small torts. Okay? Add them in a sloping manner to make it look more realistic. Okay, high left some spaces. Now I will fill the other section also in a similar way then we can simply fill up the bottom. All right, that part is done. Now I'm going to quickly pick up some taco tone. I will fill up the remaining area, picking some paint screen. I'm just filling it up. Okay. It's a beautiful technique. You can see how easily and quickly we created a snowy mountain give to try, get to try it. I'm very sure you're going to low this technique and maybe you can use this in your future paintings as well. I have a small section here that will be done with our mountain. Okay. That is said, that's a gorgeous Northern lights and Snowy Mountain. Now, just in case you were not able to leave those caps in between, there is nothing to worry. We can just go with some white paint. Let me show you. Okay. I've taken some white paint on my brush now I'm just going to add some lines onto the mountain. Wherever you want to introduce some snow, you can just add a line or a dot or any kind of shape using some white paint. It could be white aticlor or white quash. See that. But don't overdo. Only add a few here and there. Okay. I'm going to add one line here. All right. So that's our ECPC Northern Lights for the day. Here is a closer look. You can see how beautiful those mountains are looking and even the sky give it a drive here to try it. Maybe with the same color combination or a different color combination of your toys. Now I'm going to peel up the masking tape. Okay, so here's the painting for the day. I hope you all enjoy the process. If you get to try it, give it a try and let me know if you like it. Okay, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next painter, landscape. 20. Day 17 - Winter Cabin: Hello, my lovely friends. Welcome to day 17. Today we are going to paint a gorgeous winder cabin, which is surrounded by some stunning mountains. This painting is easily one of my favorite from the tier collection in a way. As usual, let's start by looking at the colors. One of the major color you will need for this painting is obviously paints gray. You can see the color I use for the mountains and also for the snowy crowd. Okay? So that's the first color you will need. The beauty of this painting is the color composition. The color of the sky and the lake and the mountain. Everything is quite neutral. And then we have a beautiful cabin with this in red color. If you can't try to go with the similar color combination to get the real beauty of this painting. Okay, that is paints gray. That's the first and one of the major color. The next color you will need is Tirquoise blue. And in Tico, which are the two colors I use for the sky as well as for the lake. For the base layer we will use turquoise blue. Then on to that we will add some clouds using in Tico. Okay. This one is indico from art philosophy. Go with any indico you have caught. The same goes with the lake. We will start with turquoise blue, which is going to be the base layer. Then to add those lines and those deeper tones, we will use in Deco. Okay, that is to require blue. Now there's one more color that you will need which is red. You can see the color use for the cabin that is spiral red. You can go with red, or vermalin, or scarlet or brown. But try to go with the color which is quite bright. It can also be yellow or orange. We need to create a contrast here. The color you're using for the cabin is really important. Go with any brighter color of your choice. Here's a red I'll be using. It is spiral red. From Shinhan you can go with any red or any other color of your choice. Now, along with us, you'll also need some white watercolor to add some textures. Okay, so that's summaries all the colors you will need for our gorgeous winder cabin. Now it's time to give a try. Okay, so let's start by adding the sketch. First, I'm going to an irregular line to show the ground. I'm adding that from here. Now I'm adding a slope. Okay, that's a ground line. Now, slightly above that, I'm adding a straight line, which is the horizon. Okay? The space in between is a lake. If you want to modify the shape of your ground line, you could do that. Okay. Next we need to add a cabin, and also we need to add some mountains in the background. Let's start with the cabin. I'm going to add that over here, a simple one. Start with two lines to vertical lines. If you want to make it smaller, you could do that. Now, add the roof. Okay, That's a basic shape. Now we can add a window or a door. Maybe just a window here. Okay, that's our cabin. Next we need to add the mountains in the background. You can either follow the same shape or a different shape of your choice. It doesn't matter. Okay? It's a huge mountain. That's a basic shape. Okay. Now from the tip, I'm adding an irregular line. This one is really important. Depending on this line, we'll be adding the shadows on the lighter tones go with a nice irregular line like this. Now, add another one there. Okay, that's the basic shape of the mountain. Now as you're painting, we'll be adding some shadows following this lines. All right. Add in your sketch and keep it ready. My major idea is to add the darker tones on the left side and the lighter tones on the right side. That's what I'm planning. All right, so I hope you guys have the sketch ready, as well as the colors on your palette. Now, the very first color you will need is paints gray. I'm going to start being the snowy areas. Okay? Take out some paints gray onto your palette. Once you have the color ready, start by applying coat of water onto the right section of the mountain. The top part. I'm not applying any water onto the bottom section. Okay, now with another brush, I'm going with a lighter tone of paint, screy. I'm just adding that onto this side. We just need some lighter tones on the mountain here and there. It doesn't need to be perfect. Make your background bet. Then add some lines onto that wet background. Okay, that is that section. We just need some shadows on the mountain. It doesn't need to be perfect. We will add some textures later. Okay, so this is just the base layer now. After this drives, we can paint the second section at the bottom. Okay, now let that dry. In the meantime, we can start with the ground again. I'm starting by applying a coat of water. Go with any of your clean brush and just apply a general coat of water onto the entire ground. Okay, so that is evenly wet. Now I'm going back with my other brush, picking paints gray again. Now if you paint this two water, dab it on a paper towel. Now let's start applying the paint onto the background. I'm adding that from the corner and I'm dragging my breast towards the top. I'm just adding some lines on the ground. I want mostly darker tones along the bottom and the corners. I want some lighter tones closer to the cabin, so keep that in mind and make the bottom part more darker compared to the top. Simply add some lines on the wet background. That's all you need. At some places the color can be a bit more darker. At some places it can be lighter. Okay, Simply add some lines onto that wet background, creating some nice shadows and textures. Don't fill up the entire area, we need some gaps in between. Which is your paper wide, That is the snow. All the colors we're adding right now is the shadows. So remember to leave some gap in between when you're applying the paint. Okay, that's a background. Now I'm just smudging those lines to give it a softer look. Maybe we can add in some more paint just in between, maybe with a taco tone onto these corners. I'm just adding some shapes using a taco tone. Just a few here and there, Not a lot now. You can smudge It can if you feel they are too rough and prominent. Okay. So, that's a snowy ground. You can see it isn't that great. It looks quite messy, but that's okay. Once we introduce the rest of the colors, it will look really beautiful. Okay, Now let's go to the next section here. As usual, we'll have to start by applying cot of water onto that section. Apply cota water. Now go with the lighter tone of paints. Simply add some lines onto that wet background. Okay, we don't need a lot, we need some hit to space asphalt. Maybe at the bottom, we can add a line and then drag them towards the top. Okay. Now we can add some shadows on the top section. It has dried already. Again, I'm going with a medium to then from the tip, I'm adding some shadows onto the right side like this. Now washing my press and I'm just smudging it along with that, maybe I will just add a few more lines, just a few to show some shadows. Okay, so with the same brush, I'm just adding a few lines here to introduce some shadows. And that's it, that's a base layer of the mountain. Now we have one more section to paint. I think we can do that after we're done with the sky. Okay, let us right, completely. Next, I'm going to paint the sky. For the base layer, I will use turquoise blue. Then onto that I will add some clouds using into I'm starting with turquoise blue. I'm applying that onto the entire sky. I'm not applying any water. I'm directly adding turquoise blue, a medium tone, on to the entire sky. Carefully follow the outline of your mountain and fill the tier sky in a medium tone of turquoise blue or any other blue of your choice, preferably a pleasant blue. We'll be using the same combination for the lake, Asphalt. We'll start with turquoise blue. Then to add the deeper tones, we will use Intc. Okay. I'm carefully following the outline of the mountain. I'm filling that tier section in turquoise blue. We have some more left here. Okay, that's a base layer. I have applied paint onto the tier sky now, while it's still wet, we have to go with Tico. When you introduce some clouds to this wet background, you can add them however you want. I'm just adding that from this corner. Then I will add a few more. While you're adding the clouds, try to leave some cap in between. In those gaps you can see turquoise blue and that's the beauty of the sky. Also, use a medium tone, don't use a really taco tone of Tico. You can see the color I'm using here. It's more like a rain cloud. Okay, let's add in a few more. It's a beautiful color combination. If you haven't tried it, you have to try it for your paintings. As we have used Terquise blue in the background. It is not entirely moody, more like a pleasant, moody sky. Anyway, that's a color combination. I have added enough of clouds. Maybe a little more over here. Okay, that's a sky and that's how it has turned out. Maybe I can add some darker clouds onto this corner. Just a few only on the top. All right, now I'm really done with the sky. I don't want to add any more clouds now. Next task is to paint the lake. For that as well, I'm going to use the same color copination. Clean your brush and start with Terquise Blue. Go the medium tone, just the same way how you painted the sky and apply that onto the entire lake. Be careful not to add any paint onto the ground, onto the cabin or on the mountain. Be really careful when you're adding the paint. Simply fill up that entire section using a medium tone of turquoise blue. Okay, so that's a B layer. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside. I will go with my size number six, undresh. I'm picking some indico. I will add that on the top. Okay. Just introduce some Daco tones on the top then smog that into the background. Just simply add some lines. That's it now on the other side as I'm introducing some lines, give it some textures. Otherwise it will look quite flat and empty. Okay, if you want to introduce some more dakotone, you could do that. That's not a problem. You can see how beautiful that color combination is looking, just like the sky. Okay, I think we can add some more lines. I'm picking some more Tico, I'm adding a few more lines onto the background. Don't add a lot and cover up the turquoise blue. We want to see both the colors in the background, turquoise blue at the bottom, and some dacotones on the top don't cover up that te, blue color. Okay. That's how it has turned out. I'm really happy with the way it is looking right now. Our next task is to paint the darker side of the mountain, which is the left side. But before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. All right, So that's dry completely and you can see the colors. Next, we are going to paint this side of the mountain for that as well. I'm using paints gray, but this time the color is a much more darker tone. Okay, so we'll start with the medium tone, then gradually towards the bottom. We'll have to make the color more darker. I think there's a lot of indico on my brush. I haven't washed it properly. Okay. So start with the medium tone and apply that onto the top part of your mountain. We have a line at the center, that irregular line. Be really careful when you're applying the paint. Carefully follow that line while you're adding the paint. Okay, Go with the medium tone of paint screen or neutral tent. Apply that paint. On the left side of the mountain, you can see we have lighter tones on the right and hacer tones on the left. I have added paint along that outline. Now I need to start filling it up. The brush I'm using here is size number eight. Go with any of your medium size brush, Don't go the bigger brush. It might be difficult to add the paint along that line. Okay. Now let's keep adding more paint onto that entire section. All right. That area is done. Next, I'm going to pick a darker tone of paint screen. I will add that towards the bottom. You can see the color is, it is not too light. Now, towards the bottom, we can apply this color and fill up the remaining area. Now I'm adding that around the cabin, also along this bottom line. Okay. Now, let's quickly fill it up and smudge it before it dries up. All right. I have applied the paint now with a clean brush. I'm just smuching it. It doesn't need to be perfect. We are, in a way, going to add some textures onto this. We just need to roughly smudge it. It doesn't need to be perfect. Now we can clearly see those darker tones on the left and the lighter tones on the right. It has a beautiful contrast and the colors are looking really good. I just love the color we have used for the sky and the leak. Now I'm thinking to modify the shape of the mountain a little. This one is completely optional. You guys know me. I have the habit of overdoing things. I'm just modifying the shape a little here. If you're happy with your mountain, don't touch it. Just leave it the way it is now. With a clean brush, I'm just mulching it. I don't know if this was a good idea or not. Anyway, that's a base layer, now let that dry. In the meantime, we can start adding some textures on the other side. We're going to add some dry textures using a darkton of pain screen. And this is the brush I'll be using. Pick some paint screen, then dab it on a paper towel. If you feel the paint is battery, we need a dry paint. Okay, dab it multiple times until you're sure the paint is dry. Now, with that dry paint, I'm going to add some textures onto the right side. We don't need a lot of patterns, just add a few here and there and be sure the paint you're using is dry. Now let's add a little onto this side. See that in a similar way, keep adding dry patterns onto the right side of your mountain. It doesn't need to have any particular shape, or size, or thickness. They are super random. When you start adding them, you'll really see how beautiful your mountain is turning out. Okay, now I'm adding on the bottom section, go with some dry paint spray. If you're not really sure about the consistency, just try creating those patterns on a scrap piece of paper. And when you're confident about it, you can add them on your main painting. But trust me, it isn't that complicated. They're super messy. Random patterns, they don't need to be perfect. Just try adding them once you get the hang of it. It's a really simplest thing to do. Okay, now I'm adding some patterns onto the side. Maybe over here we can add some more patterns. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. Now take a look at your mountain and if you feel you want to add some more patterns, go ahead and do that. If you're 100% happy with your painting, you don't need to add more. Okay, so just take a look at your painting and only if you feel like there's a need to add more patterns, go ahead and do that. Otherwise, just leave it the way it is. Okay. I have added a few more and how it has turned out. Next we need to add similar patterns on the other side. It's the same technique, the darker tone of paint screen. And add enough of dry patterns. I have taken some paint, dab it on a paper towel. If you feel it's watery, then just keep on adding more patterns on this side compared to the other. We need to add more and more patterns. It's a darker side, they don't need to look perfect. We are simply creating some texture in the mountain. Okay, go the darker tone. It has to be a dry paint. Dab it on a paper towel. If you feel your paint is watery, then keep on adding these dry, messy patterns onto the mountain. We have added a line at the center. You have to follow that. That is really important. We have some taco tone on the left and lighter tone on the right. You need to follow that pattern. Okay? Now let's keep on adding these patterns. See that they can be super messy. It doesn't matter, we are only trying to create some texture here. When you add a lot of them, it will look really beautiful. Go ahead and keep on adding them without worrying a lot. Honestly, adding the patterns on this side is a bit more easier compared to the other one, because here we have medium tacotoons in the background. The dry patterns or the textures you're adding right now won't show up much. But on the other side, it is mostly white and light gray. It would be really prominent. Okay, I have a small section left. With that, I will be done with the mountain. Go ahead and add enough of patterns. You will see how beautiful it is turning out when you start adding those patterns. As I said earlier, there is no particular rule or any method, or any order that you need to follow here. Just keep on adding the textures until you're happy with the result. Okay, I'm just scrubbing and scratching my brush on the paper to create those textures. It's a simple technique. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a try. All right, that's how it has turned out. Now I'm cleaning my brush now with that clean, wet brush. I'm going to smug some of the areas on the right side, give it a watch. Okay? At some places you can smudge those patterns and make it a bit blurry. Not a lot. Only a few places do that. Okay. That's it, that's how the mountain has turned out. Especially where you want to add some more shadows, you could do this technique, or if you're happy with the result, you don't need to do this at all. Now, the next major task left is to paint the cabin. But before that, I will add some dry patterns on the ground Asp. I'm picking some paint screen, I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. Now with that dry paint, I'm going to add some textures and a very random way. Add a little towards the bottom and towards the top, but go with small patterns, don't make it too big. And also make sure your paint is dry. If you're not really sure, maybe you can try adding those patterns on a scrap piece of paper. And then add the tier painting that it won't make any mistakes. See that? Let's add a few more closer to the cabin when you have the dry paint on your brush. This technique is very simple. It's only the matter of getting that consistency right. The next task is to paint the cabin. For that, I'm going to use spiral red. You can go with any red, or brown, or any other color of your choice. Orange and yellow will look really nice. We just want to create a contrast here. Go with the color that is not there in the picture. Okay? First I'm starting with piral red. And I'm going to apply that onto the entire face, leaving out that small window there. Okay? Go with any red, or orange, or brown, or any other color of you is apply that onto that entire surface. If you can try to leave a tiny cap along the roof or if you cannot, that's totally fine. We can come back with some white guash or white watercolor and add that again. Okay. Along the roof. If you can leave a cap in that case, you don't need to come back with white again. Okay. Now let's fill it up. Okay, So I've filled up the entire area. Next I'm going to pick a little of paint scray with the same rush, just a little, and I'm also adding some red to it. This mix will give me a Cod. Okay. Now with that, I'm going to add some shadows from the top towards the bottom. It's more like some messy lines. See that? Don't add a lot, just add a few from the top towards the bottom and also under the roof, just create some texture. All right? Be sure about the color. Don't make it too dark, it just has to be a darker red. Okay, those are the shadows and all those textures. I think it has turned out really nice. If you want to add a few more, you could do that, but don't overdo it now. Maybe we can add a little around the window asphalt, which we haven't done. I'll add a little underneath as well as on the left side. Okay. So that's it. That's a foot tip. Now, let that dry. Once it has dried, we will need to add some vertical divisions onto the cabin. But in the meantime, we can paint the window. And for that I'm going to go back with paint screen. Okay. So go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip, you can leave a tiny cap outside which will look like an outline. Or you can just come back with some white, articular, or white quash and add that again. There is nothing to worry. If you couldn't leave that outline, we can easily fix it. You can also use a white che pin. Okay. That's a window. It is nearly done. Okay. Now the cabin also has, which means we can go in and add those vertical divisions. Okay? Go with paint screen or a Daco, right? And also try to use a smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. This brush is size number six, but it has got a really nice pointed tip. Just using this, you can go two or zero or any other brush that you prefer. Okay, Now simply add some vertical divisions on to the surface. We need some thin, delicate lines, don't make it too thick. That's why I told you to go with a smaller brush or any of your detailing brush or miniature brush. Okay. Simply add some vertical lines and fill up that entire cabin. Okay. That part is also done. Next, we have to go with some white paint and fix the roof. But maybe before that I will add some more textures on the ground. To me, it looks like there isn't enough pattern here. I have some leftover paint as well, so let's add a few more closer to the cabin. If you have enough, you don't need to add them again to me. I just felt like adding a little more. After I'm done adding these patterns, I will go with some white atclor. Then I will need to give a clean shape to the roof. And also we can add some white patterns onto the mountain. Okay, so let's go ahead and do that. You can use white aticlor or white guage. Both will work. I'm going to go with white watercolor. Squeeze out a bit of paint onto your palette. We don't need a lot. Now go with the smaller brush and pick some white paint on your brush. I'm using size number two and I'm picking some white paint. First, we can add those patterns onto the mountain. Go the paint which is dry, don't add any water. Just add a few lines and some textures onto the mountain. You don't need to add a lot, just add a few little patterns in between, see that? Add them in a sloping way, they don't have any particular shape or size, just add them as you like. It can be a dot or a line, or any random shape. Don't make it too big. That is something you have to keep in mind. Don't add a lot. Just add a few here and there. That's all we need. Okay, I have added a few on the top. Now maybe I will add one or two line towards the bottom. Maybe we can add one over here as well. Over here, we have a lot of Dako tune To break that bigger mass, we can add a line there. Okay, now let's add a few towards the bottom. See that go. The similar shape and size, don't make it too big and too prominent. Now let's add a few more over here. And also on to the right, you can see how beautiful it is turning out. It's a huge rocky mountain and those white patches of snow is making it even more beautiful. I'm going to add a few more tiny patterns onto this corner and that I will be done. Then we have one more task left which is fixing the roof of the cabin. Okay, so let's quickly finish this. All right, so that we're done with the mountain. I think it turned out really great and I hope you guys are happy with your mountain too. Next we are going to paint the roof. I'm taking some of white paint with the same brush. I'm just fixing that roof line. We just need to add a line on either side inclined line to show the roof. Right now it is not very prominent. Go the white paint, it could be either. You can also use a wide, simply add a clean line to make the cabin more attractive. Okay, I'm nearly done with this part. All right. So that's a roof. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to add a division for the window, a horizontal division Also, just like the roof, if you feel the outline of your window is not proper, you can go with white paint and fix it. Okay? That's a division I'm adding. It can be a vertical division or a horizontal division. Anyway, that's how it has turned out. I think it is looking really beautiful. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape, and here's our super snowy, super beautiful winter cabin. I hope you all liked it. I think it is one of my favorite from the antique collection. It is definitely the color combination. I just love that tread cabin. So yeah, if you get to try it, give it a try and let me know if you liked it. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next winter landscape. 21. Day 18 - Winter Sun: Hello my lovely friends. Welcome to day 18. Today we're going to try a beautiful winter sunset. I'm very sure you all are going to enjoy the process as usual. Let's start by looking at the colors for the sky. I have majorly used two colors, which is Naples yellow and Nico. Over here, the yellow you see it is naples yellow. Then around that to have used a lighter tone of Tico maple Yellow is a pal yellow. It's a combination of white and a yellow pigment. Just in case if you don't have maple yellow, you can add some white with any of the yellow you have got and create a similar color. See that? So it's more like a Pacel yellow and because it is a Patel yellow, it doesn't create a muddy green when you mix that with Indico that easily. If you're using a bright yellow, the moment you mix that with Indico, you will get a muddy green in your sky. Okay. So those are the first two colors, yellow and indico. I have used a bit of paints, gray to add this landscape, then for the road, and also for the trees. Now, the next two colors you will need is brown. You can see the color I have used for the tree. It could be brown or burn cena. For the darker areas of the tree, we will use brown and also paints gray. For the lighter areas, where we need to show the low, we'll need to go with a lighter orange and a brighter orange. The brighter orange is vermeline. To make it lighter, I will simply add some yellow with it. Okay. That summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Here we have naples yellow indico paint, scray brown, and some vermin. Okay, so keep all the colors ready. Let's give it a try. Okay, let's start by adding the sketch. I will add the horizon line first O which is a bit below the center of the paper. Okay, next I'm adding an inclined line from here to the other side. The bottom part is going to be a road and the top is going to be a snowy ground. Okay. Next we are going to add two trees. For now, we'll just add a basic shape, then we can add the branches as we paint. That's a first tree. It's a huge tree. You can go with any shape that you prefer and you can add them wherever you want to. Okay, that's a first tree. Now, next to that, I'm going to add another one in a different shape. Okay, that's a second tree. Now we can add a few branches. The rest we can add as we are painting. That's a sketch. We have it. We're going to place the sun in between these two trees over here. Okay, that is a major element of this painting. Now let's keep all the colors ready. I have naples yellow, then I have some in Tico. I will also need some paint scray before I start with the sky, let me squeeze out some paint scray onto my palette. Okay, before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready. We need naples yellow, then we need some into also paint scray Once you have them ready to start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Just a nice general coat of water. Don't add a lot running brush multiple times back and forth just to be sure the coat of water is even okay. My sky is evenly wet. Now, I'm going to go with my round brush and I'm starting with naples yellow. I will go with a medium tone and I'm going to add a circle between these trees, which is the sun. Okay? Where we have the sun. I'm going to leave some paper white. Simply add a circle. Then add some paint around that. Okay, So we have the sun and some yellow around it. Now, simply apply the paint onto the sky. Okay, Next I'm washing my brush with the clean brush. I'm just making the color a little lighter. Okay, now I'm again cleaning it and then I will co with Indico. Okay. So pick a little of Indico, preferably a lighter tone. See that? That's the tonal value I'm coing with and I'm going to apply that onto the entire area surrounding yellow. Yellow and blue are complimentary colors on the color wheel. If you go with darker tones or brighter tones, you will end up getting a muddy green in your sky, which we don't need. Go with a lighter tone, as you can see here. If you want, you can add some medium tones onto the corners which is not in contact with yellow. Okay, that's a base layer. Next I'm going to go with a mix of Indico and a bit of pain scray. I want a darker and a moody blue. Okay, just add a bit of pain scray with Tico, preferably a medium tone with that color. Let's add some landscape over here. See that we need to add this landscape while the background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time. Once you have paint to the sky, go ahead and add in this landscape. I don't want the blue to be too pleasant, that's why I added some paints, gray to it. But then if you want to go with Indico Acts, it's totally fine. I'm not 100% happy with the sky, but I think it is not too bad anyway, let's see how that's going to turn out. Now I'm going to pick a slightly darker tone, and I'm dropping that at the bottom to introduce some more darker tones and texture in the background. Okay, simply add that in only on the bottom. To put the top, you have that medium tone and along the bottom introduce some taco tones. Okay? With that, the sky is done. The major element here is the sun. Right now, it doesn't look very attractive, but once you paint the trees, it's going to turn out really beautiful. Anyways, now let's leave it for drying. Okay. So that is dry completely. I wish I would have made the colors a bit more brighter. Anyways, let's start with the snowy ground. For that as well, I'm going to use indico. We will need a meteum tone. So first we can start by applying a coat of water onto the top section. Then I will paint the road, which is at the bottom, with my size number eight brush. I'm applying a coat of water onto the top section. Okay, Next I'm going to go with my size number six arm brush. I've taken a medium tone of intigo on my brush. Now I'm just adding some lines over here. From the bottom towards the top, we have an inclined line at the bottom. Follow that line. Simply add some medium tones. We're trying to create a thickness until you reach the other end. Keep adding similar lines as you're getting closer to the vanishing point. Make those shapes smaller. Also, keep in mind not to fill it up entirely, leave some gaps in between. Okay, so that's a bottom line. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some lines closer to the tree. Just a few. I want to retain most of the white. So we'll just add a few lines. Okay. Now, with a clean brush, I will just much it. I don't want those lines to be too prominent. Clean your brush, dab it on a paper towel, and with a clean brush, simply smudge it. Okay. So that's a base layer now, we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go with the next step. Okay, now the next task is to paint the road. For that, I'm going to use Indico and pain screen. I'll start by at living coat of Indico, a medium tone as a base layer instead of water. Okay, go the similar tonal value and apply that onto the tier area. Okay, now I'm going to switch to paint Scra with the same brush. I'm picking some pain Scra a darker tone. I'm just randomly dropping that onto the wet background. In between we can say some indico, a lighter tone. Now we are adding the color of the road using paint scray. Okay, this will look like there is some snow on the ground. Now over here, you can add some taco tones underneath that snowy ground. The rest can stay as it is only over here. You can introduce some taco tones. Simply spread that into the background. Okay? Don't fill it up entirely. Leave some gaps in between where you can say that lighter tone of Tico. Okay, that's the road. If you want to change the shape, you could do that. I'm not really happy with the shape. I'm thinking of going with some more pain screen and I'm going to fix the shape a little. This one is completely optional. If you're happy with it, just leave it the way it is. Okay. I'm just altering the shape a little by adding some more paint screen. I'm still not happy. Okay. One more time. All right. That looks fine. Otherwise, I will just end up filling up all the snowy ground. All right? I'm going to call it done. That's a snowy ground. And the road now I'm going to clean my brush and then we can start with the trees. You can either wait for this to dry and then go the trees or I can start with that right away. The ground and the sky has already dried up. And we're going to add the trees over here. The area is dry. To paint the tree will some brown or burn Cena, this is the one I'll be using. It is permanent brown from art philosophy. Now, along with that, you will also need some vermlin or any orange to paint the tree. You will need four colors, which is yellow. I already have some maple yellow on my palette. I'll mix that with Vermlin to create a lighter orange. Then you will need a brighter orange. I have Vermelin here. Then you need brown or burn sina, and also some paints gray for the darker areas. Okay, I have all the colors ready. Now I'm starting with a lighter tone of orange. And I'm creating that by mixing some maples yellow with a vermelion. That is vermelion. Now with the same bridge, I'm picking some naples yellow. So it is a light orange or a yellowish orange. That's a color I'm starting with. Let's add a few more drops of water. We need a lighter tone. Okay. Now, onto the area closer to the sun. I'm applying this color so we have the sun here. Onto those areas, go with a lighter tone of a yellowish orange or a lighter yellow. Okay. Next we can pick some vermelion. Add that next to the yellow, onto the branches closer to the sun. Only use a lighter yellow or a lighter orange. Don't use brighter colors. Next I'm picking brown and I'm applying that towards the bottom. This area is quite far from the sun. Okay, we can add brown onto the remaining area. The trick is onto the areas which are closer to the sun. You have to cover the yellow and lighter orange, those colors. Then for the areas which is a little away from the sun, you can use brown and taco tones. Okay, that's a first step. Now at the bottom, I'm just adding some brown in an irregular way to make it look like there is some snow over there. Next I'm picking some paint scree. I'm adding that at the bottom, and we can add them on the top as well, because these two areas are far from the sun. You can already see the glow here. Now I'm going to clean my brush and then I'm picking a bit of orange to fix this area. It doesn't have a clean shape. Okay, now we can start adding the remaining branches using brown towards the outer corners. We can introduce some taco tones over here. Okay, I hope the idea is clear only into the area which is closer to the sun. You have to use lighter tones when you're painting those areas. You have to be a bit careful. The rest is just simple. You can go with brown and paints gray. I'm just making the stray a little more thicker. Okay, so that's our first tree and you can see the weight has turned out. It is not tricky, it is very simple. You just have to play with different tonal values of yellow, orange, and brown. Now let's continue with this branch. We haven't finished it, so I'm going with brown and I'm filling up the rest. Okay, now I'm going to add a few more branches over here, and I'm using a darker brown for that. It is coming out really nice. So this is the only area you have to be careful about. The branches which are closer to the sun have to be lighter tones. It could be a lighter yellow or a lighter orange, or a yellowish orange. The rest can all be brown and darker tones. Okay, so I'm going back with that yellowish color and I'm adding a branch here. This one is so close to the sun. Okay, go the similar tonal value. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm making it lighter. That branch is crossing the sun. Now, I'm continuing that. At the center, you can see I have made the color really, really light. It's not a medium tone. Now, with orange, I'm extending those branches. See that? That's a trick. It is pretty simple. You have to give it a try and you can use the same technique on your future painting Sable. Whenever you're painting a tree or a mountain, go with lighter tones where the sun is closer for the area which is away from the sun, you can use darker tones like brown or paint screen. Okay. Now with that same yellowish orange, I'm painting this branch. Then for the area away from the sun, I'm going to use brown. Only when you add those darker tones, you will get a real feel of it. When I'm adding brown, you will start to feel that glowy effect here. When it's only orange and yellow, you won't really get it. Okay. The color I'm using here is brown. Now I'm adding, that's a bottom. I'm retaining all those orange and yellow closer to the sun. Next, I'm picking some paints gray. And I'm adding that to what's a bottom, then adding an irregular line. Okay, so that's a tree. You can see the basic shape here. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Now I'm going to pick some orange. And I'm fixing these areas. It doesn't look very smooth. Okay, that's how it has turned out. You can really see the low here. Now let's continue with the remaining branches. I'm picking some brown and I'm extending this one here. Okay. So once you're done with the areas which are closer to the sun, you can go around and add in your branches however you want. This is the only area you have to be careful about. Okay, so I hope the approach is clear. Now, I'm going to quickly finish all these major branches here using Brown. Then I will go with the smaller brush and I will add a few more now. I will add one here. Then after that, I need to fix this one here. This one is only half done with Brown. I'm just continuing that line. Okay, now I'm smudging it. Now I'm going to go with my smaller brush. This one is size number two. And I'm going to add plenty of branches using the smaller brush. Now there is nothing to worry. You can either go with brown A or you can mix some paints gray with it and add the branches wherever you want to. Okay, I'm going to go the Taco Brown, and I'm adding the next one here in between these two branches. Then along with that, I'll also add in a few more here and there. Okay, let's do this. I have added so many branches. Now I'm going to add one more here. Okay? So that's how it has turned out. Next I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to show you that glowing branch one more time. Okay? So I'm going back with orange. With that, I'm going to add one branch here. See that? I just want to make sure you guys are thorough with the technique just in case if you want to use it for your future projects. Okay, right now, the color I'm using, it's a mix of orange and yellow. I'm adding some branches closer to the sun. Let's add one here. Okay. Maybe one more there now, we can add one here. I'm washing my brush and try to where I have the sun, I'm making it even more lighter. Okay, That's how it has turned out. It is beautiful, right? Just by playing with different tonal values, you can create a beautiful glow in your painting. If you want to add more branches, you could do that. I'm adding one more here. As I said earlier, the more the branches your painting will look more interesting. I will add one more here with the same color. It's a mix of brown and paints gray. I've add a few more towards the top. If you don't want to add any, that's totally fine, you can skip adding more branches. I will add one here. The brush size number two, go with a liner brush or a brush with a pointed tip. We need some thin and delicate branches. We don't need those thick branches. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. I've added so many branches. I'm just going to call it turn next. I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going to add some text shows on the ground using Indico. So with the same brush, I'm picking a medium tone. Okay. Now I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. I want to dry paint. Pick up a medium to then dab it on a paper towel, make sure the paint is dry. Now, I'm going to add some textos over here to show the thickness onto the thickness. Just to add some random dry patterns, it doesn't need to have any proper shape or thickness, or size. Just randomly add a few messy patterns to make the thickness more prominent. Okay, I'm done with the right side, now I'm adding a little more towards a vanishing point. You can see the difference those patterns made, that thickness is more prominent now. Now with the same brush, I'm adding a few patterns closer to the tree. I don't need a lot. Just a few here and there. That's all I need. All right, so that's our painting. Now there's one more task. Voice is completely optional, which is adding some snowy textures on the road using white paint. Our painting is decent holiday, so if you don't want to add it, it's totally fine. Anyways, let me take out some white verticl. It can be white verticlar or gage, we only need a letter, just a tiny bit of white paint. Now, with any of your smaller clean brush, pick some white paint, Then tab it on a paper towel. We want to dry paint. Okay. Now with that dry paint, we're going to add some textures on the road to make it look like there are some snow. I'll add a little here, see that it's just some random white textures. I'm adding them only onto this, the bottom corner. I'm not adding much towards the top. If you want to add a few patterns like this, go ahead and do that. Those are some patterns along with that. You can also add some thicker patterns in between one or two. All right. That's how it has turned out to me. I feel like those patterns made it look complete, but it is totally her choice. If you don't want to add it, it's totally fine. The most interesting part about this painting is the sun. It's said glow. And the colors we have used. If that turn and those colors are not there, it will look like a very normal painting without any interesting feature. Okay, now it's time to peel off the masking tape and have a look at our glowing sunset. All right, so here it is, our glowing sunset. I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm very happy with the result. I love the colors and the way it has turned out and also that snowy ground. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a try, and let me know if you liked it. 22. Day 19 - Pastel Evening: Hello my dear friends. Welcome to day 19. Today we're going to try a gorgeous win the sunset as usual. We'll start by looking at the colors. The very first color you will need is pain scree. We will use a lighter tone for the sky, then we'll use a taco tone for the trees and the landscape. Okay, so we will need pin scree. Now coming to the next color which is brilliant pink. You will need any kind of Patel pink for the sky as well as for the lake, which is one of the major color for this painting. Okay, this one is brilliant pink from Shinhan. If you don't have any kind of Basel Pink, you can create a similar one by adding some white verticlor into any of the red pigments you have got. It could be permanent red or pyro red, or crimson or carmine. Okay. The next color you will need is Vermline, which is another color we'll use for the sky as well as for the lake. The color you see over here, it's a mix of Vermalin and pink. Okay. Those are the three major colors you will need for this painting. The next color you will need is brown or burn sena. I'll be just adding some Vermalin with paint gray to create a darker brown. We don't need brown or burn scena acts, we just need a Daco brown to add some textures and some details. Okay, so you can either go with burn temper or you can just make some burn scena or brown with paints. Gray. Alright, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Keep them ready and let's give it a try. Okay, I have my paper ready here. I'm starting by adding the sketch. First we need to add a line which is horizon. I'm adding that right at the center. Next, we need to add another line right below this. See that we have a small section of land over there. Okay, Next I will add another irregular line. Now the space you see in between is the leak, and we have a ground at the bottom. Okay? We just need a simple irregular line. You can add it however you want. It doesn't need to be the same way. I think I will alter the over here. I'm just erasing that. I'm adding that again over here also. I will change a little. All right, Next we need to add two trees. You can add it wherever you want to. I'm going to add the first tree over here. For now, I'm simply adding a rough sheep. We can change it later as we like. I'm not adding the second one right now. We can do that as we're painting. Okay, that's a sketch. It is just some rough lines. Now, before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready. We need paint screen. Brilliant pink and vermalion. Those are the first three colors you will need once you had them ready. Start by appling coat of water onto the entire sky. Okay. A nice general coat of water. Don't add a lot. Okay. My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with the brush. This one is size number eight on brush. First I'm making sure it is clean. Now the first color I'm going with is paint screen. I'll use a lighter tone and I'm applying that on the top of the sky. See that go the similar tonal value. It is quite light. Okay, now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going with the second color which is brilliant pink. Go with any picl pink, You can use a redmde or you can make your own. Now let's apply that onto the sky. Okay, now I applying that onto the entire area. Then on top of it I will introduce some vermeion. We have a lighter tone of paints, gray on the top, then some pink at the bottom. Okay, that's a pace layer. If you want to introduce more paint, you could do that. Actually, you can replace gray with any other color of your choice. It could be indigo or even a lighter purple. Anyway, that is gray and pink. Now, with the same brush, I'm picking some vermon. You don't need to clean your brush with the same brush. Pick some vermin or any kind of orange and apply that along the bottom. Okay, so we're applying the paint on top of pink. As you could see here, I'm adding orange mostly on the left side. If you want, you can add it on either side. It's not a problem. Okay, now I'm cleaning my brush, then I will pick some pink again. I'm not really happy with the pink. I feel like there isn't enough. I'm adding some more pink over here and I'm blending it now. I will clean it again, then I will go with a little more gray a little bit and I will add that on the top. Okay, that is the base layer. I wasn't really happy with the colors. That's why I have added them again. We have some gray on the top, then some pink and also some orange. Now I'm going to keep this precious side and then I'm going to go with my size number six round brush, this one here. With that, I'm going to add some landscape along the bottom using paints gray. But this time the color I'm using it is a bit more darker. Once you've taken the paint, dab it on a paper towel just to be sure it is not too watery. Now, with that paint, I'm going to simply add some shapes onto that wet background. See that? That's the kind of shape I'm going with. I don't make it too big and cover up that pink and orange color in the sky. Go a similar size now as I'm approaching towards the left, I'm going to make it shorter. I want that bigger shape only on the right. Okay, I'm making it shorter. It is just a simple irregular shape, but you have to add it before your background dries up, otherwise it won't have that blurry look. Okay. It is very important to add it while your background is still wet. Now, I'm adding some more paint over here. On the left, they are shorter and towards the right it is much more higher, go with a similar proportion that we won't cover up that entire orange color. Okay. Maybe we can add a few more. I mean, we can make it a bit more high. Okay. We have added the basic sheep. I'm not going to change the sheep. Next, I'm going to go with a much more tacon of pain screen. I will add that along the bottom. At the bottom, I want to introduce some more taco tones to make it look more interesting. Quickly, add some taco tones at the bottom before the background dries up. Okay, it doesn't need to have any particular sheep or size simply add that in onto the wet background. See that? I'm just dragging my brush from the bottom towards the top. I'm adding in some deeper tones. I've added enough of darker tones on the right side. Now I will add a little towards the left. Over here we have some shorter plants, but still we need to add some darker tones along the bottom. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now, I'm just going to alter the shape a little. I just felt like doing it, but don't touch yours. If your background is starting to dry, mine is still a little wet. I just thought of taking a risk and altering that a little. All right. That's that we are done with the sky and the landscape in the background. Now, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm starting with the snowy ground. In the meantime, the sky will dry. Okay, Let's start by applying a coat of water. Go with any of your clean brush. Gently apply a coat of water following the outline. Okay, the background is evenly wet. Now I'm going back with my size number six brush. Now the colors I'm going to use is a dark brown. This one is a mix of brown and paints gray. It's more like burn tumber. Along with that, I will also use some paint, Scrayka. Take that Dako brown on your brush and simply keep on dropping that paint onto that background in a very random way. When you're applying the paint, try to leave some gaps in between. Don't cover up the entire area. I wanted to create a muddy look for the snowy ground. If you don't want to use brownish tones, you can use paints. Gray Acts, okay. This color is more like burned timber. It is a mix of brown and paints gray. Okay, now I'm going to pick some paints gray and I will add that in between. You can add the paint however you want. We just need to add that on a bit background but be sure to leave some gaps in between which is the paper white. Don't cover it up entirely. Okay, so first I'm adding over here, folling that line. Now I'm adding a little next to the tree and also in between. Okay, now onto this corner, I will add some brown, also onto the same corner, and also some in between. There is no particular order or role when you're painting snow. The only thing to keep in mind is to add them while your background is still wet. The ground roller is never fill up the T of wide, you have to lay some paper white in between. Okay, so that's a base layer. Now I'm going to clean my brush with a clean, dry brush. I'm going to smudge them a little to give it a softer look. Okay, so gently smug it so that the patterns won't be too rough and prominent. Okay, now I'm going to add a few more patterns using a taco tone before I leave it for trying. In between, I'm adding some taco tones, just a few random shapes. Now I will clean my pressure can, then I will smart it. Okay, now we can leave it for drying. All right, so let us try completely Next we can start painting the lake. Again, we'll have to apply a cot of water. We have a small section of land on the top. Try to leave it acts, don't add any water onto that. Okay. Now, carefully apply a cot of water onto the lake. Okay, So that is event. Now we can start applying the paint. The first color, I'm going go with the same pasal pink. Have use for the sky and apply that onto the tier lake. First we have some ground on the top as well as at the bottom. Try to follow the outline very carefully and fill up the anterior area in pink. All right, so I have applied pink onto the entire area. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some vermalion like how we painted the sky. Now I'm going to apply that onto the left side first. See that? Onto the same pinker, adding some M. I'm trying to replicate the same colors I have used for the sky and I have added vermin only on the left side. In a similar way, I'm adding vermin only over here. As we have pink in the background. The orange you're adding right now will nicely spread into the background. Okay, so that is pink and vermin. Now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm switching to pins gray. I have changed my brush as well, the sooner size, number six. Okay, now I'm picking a medium tone of paints gray and I'm going to add the reflection of these trees. The step is really important, we need to add it while the background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time. Go right away and add in the reflection. Okay, I'm starting from the left. Over here, we have shorter trays. I'm adding the reflection in a similar way. Now as I'm approaching the right, I will make it much more bicker. Okay, Quickly go with your medium size brush. It could be sized number six or seven or eight. And pick a medium toe of pain screen. And keep adding that random shape on the wet background to introduce the reflection. Okay, now I'm reaching the right side and I'm making those shapes much more bicker. Okay? So simply add that shape first While doing this step, you have to be really quick. Okay, once you have added that shape, you have to clean your brush, clean it, and add between a paper towel. Now, with that clean, dry brush, I'm going to smudge the paint a little over here. I'm being very gentle, I'm not putting a lot of pressure. Maybe if you want to add some more paint, you could do that. Okay. Now I'm going to go the taco tone of paints grey. I will add that on the top, underneath that snowy ground. It is the same way how we paint those landscape. Add some taco tone. I'm adding them on the top, then I'm dragging my brush down. Okay. Now, while you're adding the paint, you can also define the shape of the snowy ground. If you want to modify the shape or anything, you could do that. Right now, that's how it has turned out. I was just dragging my brush from the top towards the bottom. Now I'm going to clean my brush again. This is the same way how I did earlier and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Now with that clean, dry brush, I'm just smudging this area a little. Okay. So gently spread it out and add some lines. Now I'm going to add some darker tones over here. Okay? So just add a bit to define that space now in case if you wanted to, you can add some more taker toons over here. Otherwise it is looking quite decent. If you want to leave it here, that's totally fine, especially if your background is drying out. Okay, mine has almost dried, but I'm still going to add some more taker tones. I feel that taco tone is not really visible, so just a few lines and some tacotones underneath that snowy ground, and that's all. Okay. So I'm picking some more paint. I'm adding that over here. It's a taco toon of paints, gray just a little. And that's it. So that's of it has turned out now I'm going to leave it for trying. Okay. So that is right. Next I'm going to paint that snowy ground on the top. We have a small section. First I will apply a coat of water. I'm adding the water only at the center. I'm patching the top line and the bottom line. This is something you have to be careful about because we have some paint on the top. At the bottom. Okay. So just add some water at the center. Now, I'm going back with that darker brown color we used at the beginning. And I'm going to add a few lines along the bottom. Okay? So just follow that outline along the bottom and add few medium tones and taco tones on the top. Leave that white color assets, which is the color of the paper. And only add some taco tones at the bottom. Okay? Simply add some paint onto that wet background. Don't add thicker and bolder lines. Go with a similar tonal value. Okay, that's a foot step Now, maybe we can make it a bit more darker along the bottom line. Also be very careful when you're adding the paint. Don't disturb the other layers. I mean, the lake and the sky. So I'm picking some more paint and I'm adding that along the bottom. Just introducing some more taker tones. That's all. On the top, you can see that white color. I haven't added any paint over there. Only at the bottom, I'm adding some more taco tone. Okay. So go to any of your smaller brush. Don't use a bigger brush. I'm picking some paint screen and I'm adding that over here, the bottomstera to show the thickness. All right. So that's how it has turned out now we'll have to wait for that to dry. All right. So that is dry. Next I'm going to add some textures and some details onto the snowy ground. For that, I will need a Dako brown. So, I'm just mixing some permean with paints. Gray. You can go with burn temper, or you can simply add some paints gray with burn cena or brown. I don't want to take out any new paint, so I'm just going to mix these two to create a daco brown. Okay. Now I'm going to add some small grassy lines onto the ground using my size number two brush. These lines have to be very thin and delicate. Go with any of your smaller brush, we don't need a lot of patterns. Just add a few grassy lines here and there. Maybe you can focus on the area where you have those medium tones in the background and add a few similar lines onto those areas. I don't want to add a lot, There are some simple lines, I'm just adding them in between. You can go with different shapes and different groups. They don't need to look the same. Some of them can be longer and some of them can be shorter. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now I'm dabbing that brush on a paper towel, and with that dry paint, I'm going to add some textures on the ground, especially on to the areas where I have added these grassy lines. Okay, just add a few patterns in between, don't make it too busy. And also go with a smaller brush. Otherwise those patterns will end up looking to pick. Okay, Go with a dark brown or paint screen, a brush on a paper towel, and make sure your paint is really dry. And then keep on adding some patterns onto the ground to introduce some textures. You can add some dots and some tiny patterns. They can be of any shape that doesn't matter, but be a little careful about the size. Don't make it too pick. All right, so the bottom part is done. Now, I'm going to add a few patterns over here with the same brush. I'm adding that along the thickness, pick some paint, dap it on a paper towel, then add some dry patterns along that thickness. Again, I'm not adding much on to the top. I want to retain that white color. I'm just adding them along the bottom. That's all. I don't want to add much. We already have some textures there. You can see the difference those textures made. Earlier, it was looking very plain and empty. Now with those dry textures, it is looking a lot more realistic. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Next I'm going to add the trees. I'm going to add one on the left. For that, I'm using paints gray acts. I'm starting with the tree trunk. I'm adding that from the side. I'm taking that towards the top. That's the thickness I'm going with. If you want to make it more thicker, that's totally fine. And you can add them wherever you want to and you can go with any shape that you prefer. Okay. So that is the basic tree trunk. Now I will have to make it a bit more thicker, then I need to add more branches onto it to make it look more attractive. Okay. The brush I'm using here is size number two. You can go with any brush, preferably a smaller brush, so you can add those thin and delicate branches. All right, so that's a basic shape, now we can start adding the branches. When you're adding the branches, you don't really need to look at the screen. You can add them wherever you want to, just add them in all directions and make it as interesting as possible. Also, if we can try to go with a smaller brush, or a detailing brush, or a liner brush, or any brush that you prefer so that you can add thin and delicate branches. Okay, so let's do this. Okay, so that is my first three. I'm really loving the way this is looking. Going to add one more. You can add it wherever you want to. Maybe right next to this one or a little away. I'm just deciding where I should add it. Maybe we can add it over here. All right. I have decided the location. I'm going to add that over here, just the same way earlier. Start with the tree trunk, a thicker tree trunk, then on to that, add some branches however you like. Towards the bottom where we have the roots, you can just leave an irregular shape to make it look like there is some snow. We have been using the same trick for all the other trees we have painted so far. There is nothing new here. Okay, go ahead and add a new tree. You can add two or three, it doesn't matter. Or even just one is fine. All right. So. Well, let's quickly add that in. All right. So I have added two trees. They are looking really beautiful. Now, to make it snowy, we need to add some snowy textures using white Waclor. That's our next task. If you prefer using Guache, there is no problem. Go with Guache. We only need a little amount of paint and we're going to add some dry textures onto these trees. Okay, so take a little of paint onto your palette. Wal or Gua, both will work. Now go with any of your clean brush, preferably a smaller brush, the one I'm using here, size number two. Now I'm picking some paint, then I'm tapping that on a paper towel I want to paint that is dry. Okay. Now we can start adding some textures onto the trees, but maybe before that we can add some lines on the water. I mean, the lake. Okay. Just a few lines. Using that smaller brush. Again, it's a dry paint. That's the first line. Second one, maybe one more. Okay. Just add a few lines on the lake like this to introduce some more details. Now we can start introducing the snowy textures onto the trees. We have used the same technique for many other paintings. It is just some tri textures using white paint to introduce a snowy character. Okay, onto the left, I have added a thick line. Now I'm just merging the paint. See that you can go with little pattern or too much pattern like this. That's all up to you. Okay, I'm going to quickly add some more white textures onto the entire tree. Towards the bottom where you have that medium tones in the sky, it will be really visible. But towards the top, the colors are very much lighter compared to the bottom. So those snowy patterns won't be very much visible. Okay. So focus on the bottom part where the snow is really visible and towards the top, you don't need to add much. Even if you add it, it won't really show up. Okay. So I'm just focusing on the thicker branches and I'm just adding a few patterns. The first tree is done. Now we have one more tree. I'm going to add some patterns onto that as well. Adding these new textos is a very simple, easy task, but it has a lot of impact on your painting. You can already see the difference. See that go white paint, white paint and a smaller brush. And simply add some textos onto the tree. Really loving the way is looking with those textures. Earlier the trees were looking very plain and lifeless. Now it looks really beautiful. I only have a few more branches left. Quickly, I'm going to add some white textures onto those ones as well. This brush is size number two. It has got a really nice pointed tip. I can add white texture onto these smaller branches quite easily. If it's a bigger brush, it's going to be a big task. Go with any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush when you're doing this tip. Okay, there's one more branch here. I think there is one more at the bottom. I missed this one. Okay, so carefully I'm adding some white textures and that's it over here, there's some white missing. It is looking very prominent. Okay, now it is looking better. Now there is one last task which is completely optional, which is adding some thin, delicate tree lines in the background. Over here, I'm using the same brush and I'm adding some lines like a tree, just a few, not a lot. Just in between. Add a few lines like this. This one is completely optional. Only if you want to add it, you could do that. Otherwise, just ignore it. Okay? Okay. Those are the white trees. Now, if needed, you can clean your brush and go with some pain screen. And add a few more trees. Again, clean your brush and go back with pain screen. Now in between, you can add a few lines maybe are to the same ones to show some highlight. Okay, so I'm just adding a few highlights onto the same tree. And also if needed, you can add some more trees in between these highlights and details I'm adding right now are completely optional. If you feel they are not necessary, just keep it. Not a problem. Any ways that is a gorgeous window painting for the tree. Now I'm going to peel off the masking tape. Okay, so here's our standing winter lake. We all liked it to me. The most interesting part about this painting is the color combination, that soft colors and the contrast is really beautiful. I hope you all enjoyed it. If I get to try it, give it a try, let me know if you liked it. Okay, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next winter landscape. 23. Day 20 - Pink Sunset: Hello dear friends. Welcome to day 20. Our painting for the day is a quick mountain and a beautiful sunset. Do this painting in less than 15 minutes. That's the most interesting part. Anyway, as usual, let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The very first color you will need is pink, which is the color I'm going to use for the sky. Along with pink, I will also be using some violet. The sky is a color combination of pink and violet. This one is a Basel pink. It's called brilliant pink. It is from Shinhan. I've been using this color for a few other paintings as well. If you don't have Basel Pink, you know what to do. You just have to make some white at color with any of the red pigment you have got. It could be pyal red or crimson or any other red pigment. Okay, just create a Basel. That is one color we will need before you start with the sky, make sure you have it ready on your palette. Now, the second color is violet. This one is permanent violet again from Shinhan. Go with any violet of your choice or you can mix and create your own even that is okay. It's a beautiful color combination. But if you want to try a different color combination, that is totally fine. Maybe you can use chircoise blue or even indigo along with pink instead of violet. This is a pink. I'll be using brilliant pink. It's a beautiful color to have in your collection. Even this permanent violet, I love this color. It is a very prin and intense. Now the next two colors you will need is in Tico and paint screen, which are the two colors we will use for the mountain. For the base layer of the mountain we will use in Tico. Then to add some textures and some deeper tones, we will use paint screen. The final color you will need is paint screen. For this painting, you will only need four colors and it's a quick one. As I said earlier, you can do this painting in less than 15 minutes or maybe a bit more. Not more than that. All right. That summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Keep them ready on your palette before you start. Okay, now it's time to give it a try. Okay, so let's start with the sketch. The only thing you will need to add for this painting is a mountain. I'm going to add that towards the bottom. Then the rest is going to be the sky. You can add a mountain however you want. We just need a simple mountain, nothing complicated. So that's the size I'm going with. Maybe I will change the shape a little over here. Okay, that's what I need to add. The rest of the details, we can add Aspha painting. For now, we just need a simple shape. Okay, so the sketch is ready Now, we can start with the mountain. For the mountain, the only color you will need is Intico for now. Then later we can add some textures using paint screen. Okay, have some inco ready on your palette. I'm not applying any water. I'm directly going with a medium tone of into or maybe a lighter tone. Okay, let's start with a lighter tone. That's better. Okay, And the brush I'm using here is size number six. Now I'm leaving some gap on the top. And then I'm adding some simple lines like this. Okay? So all the gaps in between, it's a snow. Okay. Now keep adding more paint. As you come towards the bottom, only on the top, you need those white spaces which is your paper white. Okay. Now I'm going to pick more paint and I'm going to fill up the bottom part. See that it's a medium tone that I'm using right now. I started with a lighter tone and I apply that on the top. Now towards the bottom, I'm introducing a medium tone. This paper is weird. It's not the normal paper that I use. I'm not really able to get a hang of it anyway. I'm picking some water and I'm smudging this area quickly before it dries up. Now the base layer doesn't need to be perfect. You can see mine is rough and messy. And that's totally okay. Don't worry a lot about it. Only on the top, we need some white spaces and a lighter tone. Now towards the bottom, I'm going to add more and more Tucker tones, only at the bottom. On the top, I want to retain most of that lighter tones from the bottom. I'm just dragging my brush towards the top and I'm adding some Tucker tones. Okay, we still have those lighter tones on the top. Now I'm picking more darker tune and I'm adding that onto the corners and towards the bottom. At this point, your background layer might look really messy. That is totally fine. Now I'm cleaning my brush. The paint hasn't gone completely. Okay. Now, with a clean brush, I'm just smudging this to give it a softer look. Not really soft, but then cleaner look, maybe that is the right word. Okay, so we still have some darker tunes at the bottom and lighter tune on the top. That's how it is looking right now. Maybe we can drop in some more taco tone onto this corner. Okay, just randomly add in some taco tone, leaving those lighter tones on the top. That is very important here. We need those lito values. Okay, I will go with my clean brush one more time to smug those colors so that they don't look too prominent and rough. If you're happy with the result, you don't need to add in any paint. I feel like adding some more paint only to at the bottom. I'm quite happy with the top. I'm just going to pick a bit more taco tone and I will add that onto the bottom. So this one is completely optional. If you're happy with the base layer, just leave it. Actus. Just because I'm adding more paint doesn't mean you have to do the same. Okay? I really like those different tonal values we have achieved Here On the top, we have some lighter tones, and towards the bottom we have some rough, messy tucker tones. And I'm loving it, I don't want to smudge it a lot. Those patterns let them stay. Okay. So that's a base layer now. I'm going to leave it for trying. All right, so that is right completely. Next we are going to paint the sky. That you will need some pasel, pink and violet. Those are the only two colors we'll be using. Once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water and make your sky event. Now when you're adding water, be sure not to add much onto the area where you have the mountain. Be really careful. Maybe you can leave a tiny cap around the mountain. Okay. Now, with any of your clean brush, simply add a coat of water onto the entire sky around the mountain. Leave a tiny cap. I hope you guys have the colors ready on your palette. We need pasel, pink and violet, or can go the different color combination? It could be violet and blue or even pink and blue. Okay, now the pressure, I'm going to use the size number eight over that I will pick some violet first, a medium tone, and I will apply that on the top of the sky. Then as I'm reaching almost the center, I will switch to pink and I will fill the entire sky. Okay, So that is violet. Now I'm going to pick some pink. Now I'm going to add that onto the tier remaining area. It's a beautiful color combination. I love to use pink and violet to cather. This one is brilliant pink from shin. Hm. It is a gorgeous base of pink. Okay. Now I'm adding paint around the mountain. Carefully run your brush along that outline and fill that space. Okay? So we have some pink at the bottom and some violet on the top. I'm really happy with the intensity of violet. I think it is pretty light. Maybe I will add some more paint. Okay, I'm just going to my brush and I will add some more violet. Before I go in with the clouds, I'm adding that on the top, then I will plant that with pink. Okay, this looks better. The color I used to, E was really light, and by the time it dries up, it will be barely visible. Okay. So that is violet and pink. Next I'm going to keep this precious side and I will go the smaller one. This one is size number six. Now first I'm picking some violet and I'm adding some pink with it. You can see the color I've created. It's a Patel violet, more like a pinkish violet. Okay, now with that paint, I'm going to add some clouds onto the sky. So that's a color, if you want to use violet acts, that's truly fine. You don't need to add pink with it. Okay, so that's a first set of clouds. I'll add a few on the top first. Then I will go towards the bottom. You can add the clouds however you want, there is no rule for it. But then you have to add it while your background is still wet. Also, don't go the pain which is totally watery. Go the pain that is controllable. If it's too watery, you won't be able to control the way is spreading and they won't stay as clouds. Now I'm adding a few clouds above the mountain. I'm going to add that throughout the shape. Okay? First I will carefully add that outline. Then I'm going to add some clouds onto that wet background. When you add clouds around the mountain, there are two uses. The first thing is, obviously it will make your painting look more beautiful. The second thing is it will make that white more prominent because of the contrast. Earlier the color was pink. It was a light pink. It was not really able to create a contrast. Now it looks really different. See that? I'm really happy with the way it has turned out. Now I'll add a few more clouds onto the top. I made the color a bit more darker by adding more violet. Lovely color combination, right? It turned out more beautiful than I imagined. I'm very happy with it. So I'm just going to call it done. I'm not going to add any more clouds, but if you want to add some more darker clouds and if you want to make it more traumatic, you could do that. Okay. So I'm going to leave it for drying. Oh my god, such a beautiful color palette. I'm loving the weight as looking. It looks so soft and pretty. Now we are going with a last task which is adding some textures onto the mountain. For now, we have only painted a base layer. There isn't enough textures there. Okay, and to add the textures, the color I'm going with is paints gray. Pick some paints, gray on your brush, preferably a smaller brush. Then dab it on a paper towel multiple times just to make the paint dry. Okay, so weigh some dry paint now with that paint, we're going to add some textures onto the mountain on the top of where we have that white and lighter tones, we're only going to add a little, but towards the bottom we will need to add more. Okay, so go the similar size and keep adding some teeny tiny textures onto the mountain. If you use the bigger brush, those patterns will end up looking to peck. It's good to go with the smaller brush. The one I'm using here is size number six. You can go with six, or seven, or five, or four. Okay, now I'm marrying the pattern in a sloping manner from the tip towards the bottom. See that? That's how it has turned out. Now towards the bottom, we can make it more bigger and bolder, but on the top go with minimal patterns. Also, every time you pick new paint, make it happen to a brush on a paper towel. The beauty of this mountain lies in those textures. To give it a realistic feel, it is very important to go the tri paint. If you compare the left and right, I think you can already see the difference. The left side is looking very plain and empty, whereas the right side is looking a lot more realistic. It is the magic of those textures. It is just a matter of adding some dry, messy, rough textures. They don't need to have any particular thickness or shape or anything, you can simply add that in. But keep in mind to add a little on the top and more towards the bottom. As you're approaching the bottom, you can make them more bolder and bigger. But on the top where you have white and lighter tones, add only a few patterns. This is how it has turned out. The left side is looking quite empty. I'm going to add more patterns over here. Then towards the bottom, I want to introduce more taco tones. Let's start with the top. Let's add them in an inclined way. See that we still can see those lighter tones and wider space, which is the beauty of this painting. Don't get rid of them, leave them as it is. Then in between, you can add your patterns. Now towards the bottom, I'm going to add more picker patterns. See that it is literally messy patterns. There is no rule or anything here, you just need to get a hang off it once you know how to go with that tri consistency. It is a very simple trick and you will allow this technique. You can use it in your future projects as well. All right? So that's how our mountain has turned out. I'm very happy with the result. Lovely, right? If you look at those patterns very closely, you can see they are very rough and messy. But then when you add them onto your mountain, and if you look at it from a distance, it looks really brutal. Okay. So it's time to peel up the masking tape. Here is our painting for the day. You can see that lovely sky and the stunning mountain. It's a quick painting. We did this in less than 15 minutes. It to try it? Give it a try either with the same color compination or a different color combination of your Yes. 24. Day 21 - Moody Day: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 21. Here's the Moody Cabin we're going to try today. It's a simple, get a beautiful painting and it also has a mysterious touch. Anyway, let's start by looking at the colors you will need. It's a simple color palette. You'll need a lot of colors. The first color you will need is paint scray. We'll be using paint scraye for the snowy ground. As for as for the background, we will use a medium tone of paint scrap for the sky. Then we will add those plants in the background with a taco tone. Then for the other branches in the foucround, we will use a taco tone paint. Scraye is one of the major color you will need for this painting. Then for the cabin, I'm going to use a Daco tone of brown. It's again a mix of paint, scray and brown. You can either go with burn timber or you can just mix some paint, scrape with brown or burn sina to create a daco brown of your choice. Okay, so that's the second color you will need. Now if you want, you can go with a different color of a choice for the cabin. Maybe it can be gray, it doesn't need to be brown, or it can be red or any other color. But then we have a window there to create that contrast and the glowing effect more prominent. It is good to go with any of the darker color. It can be a darker gray, or a darker blue, or a darker red. So just make sure you go with a darker tone. Okay. The next two colors you will need is vermeion and yellow, which is the colors I'll be using for this window here. See that? We will start with vermion. We will add that first. It's a tiny window so you don't need a lot of paint. Just take her a little. The first color is Vermlin. The next color you will need is yellow. It can be any yellow. The one I'm going to use here is cadmium yellow light. You can go cabo yellow, primary yellow, Indian yellow, or any yellow you have caught, preferably a warm yellow. Okay, that summarizes all the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need paints gray brown or burn sina, or burn temper, and some vermin and yellow. Okay, keep all the colors ready and let's give it a try. Okay, so let's start. I have my paper ready here, and the very first color you will need is paints gray. So keep it ready on your palette. Okay, so let's start with the sketch first. I'm going to add a line over here, an irregular line to separate the sky and the ground. Now right below that, I'm going to add another line, only at the center. Okay, so we have a line on the top and a line below that. Next, I'm going to add the cabin. You can add any kind of cabin you want. This one is a very simple one. First, I have added two vertical lines. Now I'm adding the roof. Okay. So that's a roof and one side. Now I will connect the roof. Next, I'm going to add another line towards the side. Now from there, again another line. Now a vertical line. Okay, that's a basic shape. You can go the different shape if you prefer. It doesn't need to be the same. I will erase off all the unnecessary lines we have here. All right, that's a cabin. Now as we're painting, we will be adding some vertical lines onto this. We'll go with a darko brown, more like a burn temper. Then we will simply add some vertical lines onto the cabin to bring in some details. Okay, now the next thing you need to add is a window somewhere over here. That's all. Now, other than the cabin, there is one more element in this painting which is some branches. You can either choose to add that sketch right now or you can add them as your painting. Maybe I will just show you one or two branches. They're going to be big and bulky over here. I'm adding the first branch, the main one. This one is going to be thick. Then onto that we can add some smaller branches, thinner ones. Okay. These ones, you can add it however you like. You can add them from the top towards the bottom, like they're hanging down or can go in a similar way. Or it can also be from the right towards the left. Okay, so this one is not really necessary. You can add them as your painting. You don't need to add this sketch right now. But if you want that guidelines you could add them. All right, so let's start with the painting process. As I mentioned earlier, the first color you will need is paint scray. Keep it ready on your palette. Once it is ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the ground. Just a nice shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot. Okay, now with my other brush, this one is size number six. I'm going to add some medium tones of paint scray onto the ground. It's a medium tone of paint scray. I'm adding that along the bottom line of that cabin over here. Okay. Now simply add some random shapes and lines onto the background, onto that wet background and let it dry. It's a simple step. We have been doing the same thing for almost all the window paintings we have done so far. For some of the paintings we used in Tiku, some of them we used ultramarine blue. Now it is paints gray. That's only difference. Okay, I've simply added some lines and shapes onto the background. You will need to leave some gaps in between. Which is your paper white, The color of your paper? That is what makes it look like, the snow. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. It is pretty messy, but that's okay. That's all we need now. Let's leave it for drying. All right? So that is right completely. Next we're going to paint the Sky part for that as well. I'm going to use paint scray. I'm not applying any water. I'm starting with a medium tone of pain scray. I'll simply apply that onto the entire sky. Then I will start adding some details. Okay, either you can go with a coat of water and then apply pain scray directly. Go with a bigger brush and apply a medium front of pain scray onto the entire sky. I'm not really pleased with this paper. It's a new one. The other one which I've been using so far from Canson Heritage series it has finished. This one is a new paper. I'm not really liking the texture. They are very evident. I think you can see that on the screen. Those textures are very much visible when I'm using colors like paint scray because it is slightly granulating in a way there is nothing I can change about it. I'm just going to focus on my painting and I'm going to apply paint around the cabin. Be very careful when you're applying paint around the cabin. Go with any of your medium size brush or any brush you're comfortable Earth, simply apply paint onto that entire area. I have some more area left here. It's a medium tone of paint. Scray is not too light. I want to create a moody and mysterious look for this painting. If it's too light, you won't be able to create that mode. Okay, Go with the similar tonal value when you're painting the background. I'm almost done applying paint scray onto the background. That's how it has turned out. Now with the same brush, I'm picking a darker tone and I'm just going to apply that randomly around the cabin to introduce those plants in the background. Okay. Simply add some random shapes around the cabin. Again, be careful. Don't add any paint onto the cabin. You have to do this while the background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time, especially if your background is drying out. Go in quickly and add these plants or trees in your background. First, I will fill this area, then I will introduce some more shapes on the top. Now I have simply apply the paint. Maybe we can just add some lines like this, some thicker ones so that they will look like some pine trees in the background. At some places you can make them taller and at some places make it shorter. This will add a realistic touch to your painting. Okay. That's how the background has turned out. I'm pretty happy with it. I don't want to overdo. Also, my background is starting to dry. I'm going to quickly add a few more trees, maybe another taller one over here if your background is still wet. And if you want to add more trees, you could do that. If it is starting to dry, it would be a good idea to stop it there. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Now we'll have to leave this food drying. Okay. So that is right completely. Next, we are going to start with the cabin. First we can paint that tiny window we have there. For that you will need two colors, which is vermelin and yellow. You just need a tiny bit of paint, so don't squeeze out a lot. I'm starting with vermeline. I'm going to apply that along that outline, leaving some cap at the center. Towards the center, I want to add some yellow. Okay, so just add a simple outline. Clean your brush and go with yellow. This one is carry yellow. Go with any yellow off your choice and add that at the center. We have some yellow at the center and a nice orange glow around it. Maybe we can add a bit more VermalionI'm. Picking some more paint. I'm adding that around the shape I have here. Okay, that part is done. Now, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to switch back to paint spray. Let this dry. In the meantime, we can start with the roof. The color I'm using here is a really light one of paint spray. Now I simply add some lines onto the roof just a little, add a lot. Now, clean your brush and smudge it to give it a softer look. We just need some tones on the roof. The major portion has to be white. Okay, that is also done. Now let that dry. In the meantime, we can start adding some textures on the ground. Okay, we don't need to take any break. We can go indirectly with those patterns. We need a dry paint, so once you have taken the paint, dab it on a paper towel and make sure it is dry. Now let's simply add some dry patterns on the ground. I'm adding them mostly around the cabin, then a few towards the bottom. We don't need a lot of patterns, we only need a little try to go with any of your smaller brush, otherwise the patterns will look to pick. Okay, I'm picking more paint. I'm dabbing that on a paper towel to make sure the paint is dry. Now, I'm simply going to add some patterns on the ground. They don't need to have any particular size or shape, or anything. You can add them however you want. But as I said earlier, I'm focusing on the area which is closer to the cabin. I will add more here, then I will add a few more random patterns towards the bottom. Okay, So let's do this. Okay, so that is done. I'm very happy with the result. Next we are going to paint the cabin for that, I'm going to go with a Dako brown, which is more like burn timber. I already have some brown here, so I'm just going to mix that with paints gray to create a Dako brown. You can either go with Brown or Burna. Both the colors will work or you can just use burn timber acts, picking some paint, Sra, and I'm adding that with brown to create a dacolor. Okay, now let's apply that onto the cabin. Go with the similar tonal value because we have that window there. If it's too light, it won't have a contrast. So try to go the dark tone of brown. Okay, now let's apply that onto this entire area. If you can try to leave a gap along the roof, just a tiny line, or we can come back with some white paint and add that again, which is not a problem. Okay, maybe that's a good idea. We can come back with some white paint and add the roof again. Now let's not worry a lot, let's simply apply the paint. Okay. So let's just fill up the cabin. Now you can see the result. The light inside the cabin is glowing, that's why I told you to go with a darker brown. If you use a lighter tone, you won't get that glow. Now let's fill the other side with the color which is slightly into the same mix. I'm going to add some more paint scray to make it slightly a. Take a tiny bit of paint scra add that with brown. Now let's fill this area. If you have burned temper, it is totally okay to go with burned temper. You don't need to make sense, Create a new color. Okay. So that is done. The next task we have is to add the branches. If you want to bed for this to dry first, that's totally fine. You can add the branches once the background has dried completely. Otherwise you can go in a careful manner. Okay, so the color I'm using here is paints gray. I will start with a medium tone. I thought of going with a medium tune first, then I think I will add some textures onto that later. But if you want to go with a darker tune in the beginning itself, that's totally fine. Okay, the branch I'm using here, a size number six, the color is a medium tone of paint screen. Also, the sketch I added earlier is visible, so I'm just going to follow that same outline. But you can add in your branches how you want. It doesn't need to be in the same way. Also, if you want just one single branch, that is totally fine. I'll be adding plenty of them. I think. Now you can see the tonal value. It's a medium tone. I'm adding the bicker branch with that medium tone. Okay, now let's add the one on the top over here, again with a medium tone. When it dries, it will be a little more lighter. Then we will add some textures onto that branch using a Daco tone of paints gray. Then at the end, we will introduce some snowy textures onto these branches. Okay, let's first add the basic shape. See, it's a huge branch. You can go with any shape and any size that you prefer. It doesn't need to be in the same way you can compose your painting however you like. Now I'm going to add one more on the top, another branch, again in a similar thickness. Then once I'm turned adding the basic shape, I will add more tiny branches on to that. This step might take a while according to the number of branches you're adding. But trust me, the more branches you add, the more beautiful your painting will be. Don't skip this step. Keep adding more and more branches. Now, I'm adding the next one on the top, over here, again with a medium tone. It's a thicker one. You can go with any shape you prefer. It doesn't need to be in the same way. The brush I'm using right now is size number six and it's a medium tone. I will just add one more branch, then I think I will switch to my smaller brush to add the remaining details. Okay. I'm just going to keep this brush aside. I'm going with my size number two brush. This one has a better pointed tip. I have taken some darker tone of paint screen on my brush now. Just add some teeny tiny lines and some dry textures onto these branches. Okay. They don't need to have any particular shape, or size, or length, or anything, Simply keep on adding them using any of your smaller brush. You can see the way how I'm adding it, it is messy. I'm not really looking at the size or the shape or anything, I'm just adding them onto those branches. That's all. Okay, so the bottom part is done. Now we have another branch on the top. It is good to go with any of your smaller brush so that it is easier to add the paint. If it's a bigger one, you will accidentally add some paint outside. Okay, for this step, you don't need to put a lot of attention. You can simply keep on adding those lines while we're trying to create a, some texture. Now on top of this, we will add the snow later. Perfection is not at all needed here. You can just add some shapes onto those trays. Okay, so that's the first one now with the same bridge. I'm going to add more branches onto the tray, something. Once again, you can add them wherever you want to. It doesn't need to be in the same way, you can add a few towards the bottom and towards the top, wherever you feel there's a lot of space in your sky. I'm adding one here. Then I will add one over here. There is some space between these two branches. You can add as many branches as you want. There is no limit here. The more branches, the more beautiful your tree will be. Okay, so just go ahead and add as many branches as you can. I'm adding another one here. Now we have one more branch on the top. I will start adding some textures onto this one. Then I will go ahead with the remaining branches just the same way how I did earlier. I'm adding some teeny tiny lines onto this branch to create some texture. Okay, this step is completely optional. If you want to go with a darker tone of paints gray, you could just do that. You don't need to go with a medium tone and adding these textures. I just thought of making it a little more natural by introducing those textures. But yes, it is an extra step, which means you will need to put in some extra time. Okay, now with the same brush, I'm going to add some more branches. I'm just extending this one. I'm adding a branch there. Similarly on the top Asp. Okay, the task we have right now is to add the branches. You can add them wherever you want to. After we are done adding the branches, we have to go with white paint and add in some snowy texture. Okay. So go ahead and add in as many branches as you want. Wherever you want to. There is no limit and there is no role here compose your painting however you like. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to add the remaining details onto the cabin. I have some paint screening on my brush, this precious size. Number two, go with a smaller brush. First, I will add a thick line along the bottom side of the roof to show the shadows. Okay. So that's a first step. Next with the same brush, I'm going to add some vertical lines onto the entire cabin. Okay. So for this step, it is good to go with any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush. Simply add some vertical lines onto the entire cabin. See that go the similar thickness. They have to be very thin and delicate. Don't make them too thick and prominent. Okay. It doesn't need to be super perfect, so don't very rd. Add them however you can. Mine isn't that perfect. You can see some of them are straight, some of them are slightly irregular. Those things are totally fine. Don't worry about it. All right. So that task is also done. Next I'm going to add some grassy line on the ground with the same rush. I'm taking some more paints, gray. Now, I'm simply adding some lines on the simple grassy lines here and there, not a lot, in a very scattered way. I'm adding a few. Okay. Maybe we can add a few more closer to the cabin on the left side. That's all. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now the only task we have is to add the white textures. For that, I'm using white aticlor, you can use white aticlor or white gas. Both will work. We will need to add some snowy textures onto the tree, and also we need to fix the roof. Go with any of your smaller brush. Looks like there is some paint screen on it. I'm cleaning it now picking white again. Okay, it's a dry paint. I haven't added any water. Now, let's add some textures onto all the branches we have here. I'm starting with this one here, the major one. And I'm simply adding some white textures onto the top side. I'm trying to make it look like there's some snow accumulated over there. At some places the snow can be more thicker and at some places it can be just a dry line. See that? It doesn't need to be a continuous line when you make it same throughout. I mean, if you add it like a similar line with a similar thickness and a similar style, it won't look realistic. But some places it can be thicker, added more white paint to make it look like there is more snow over there. At some places it can be a thin line. At some places you don't even need to add. Okay, over here I have added some more snow. Go in a similar way. Don't make it look the same throughout. At some places go with a thicker snow. At some places just add a dry line. Okay, this top also might take a bit of time according to the number of branches you have added. I have a lot of branches, so I'm going to go in very quickly and I will add these snow patches. It is not a complicated step and you don't need to put a lot of attention at all. And also it doesn't need to be perfect. So let's go ahead and finish this step. I have a few more branches over here, and with that I'll be done. I don't know about you guys, but to me, this painting is looking a little creepy and mysterious. I think it is a moody color palette and also these branches. No complaints. I like the way it has turned out, but at the same time, it looks a bit creepy and mysterious to me. Never mind. I'm almost adding the snow now, before I call it. I'm going to pick some more white paint and I'm going to make some of the snow patches more thicker and prominent. Okay. Pick more white paint at some places. Just add some thicker snow. I just noticed we have in fixed the roof. That's our next task. And the final task, go with some white paint and carefully add a line. You can also use a white gelpen for this step if you feel that is more comfortable. Okay, I'm just fixing the shape here also. Now, maybe here I'm making that sharp. Okay, that is our painting for the day. I think it turned out pretty lovely. I hope you are happy with your painting too. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape. Okay, so here's a finished piece. It is moody, it's so beautiful. I hope you all loved it. If I get to try it, give it a try and let me know if you liked it. 25. Day 22 - Yellow Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to 822. Today we're going to paint a simple pasty, yellow sunset. It's a quick one and there isn't a lot of details. So it won't take you more than 15 minutes anyway, as usual. Let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The very first color you will need is Naples yellow, which is the major color I will use for the sky. Naples yellow is a Basel yellow. The one I have here is from Shinhan. You can go with any brand card. If you don't have naples yellow, just add some white watercolor. With any of the yellow have card, it could be caring yellow, camboo yellow, primary yellow, or any yellow. All you have to add is some white watercolor. Okay, that's the first color you will need. Now, let me swatch it out. As I said, it is a basel yellow. It is not very bright. And that's a color, it's a mix of white pigment and a yellow pigment. Now, the next two colors you will need is vermelion and crimson. I won't be using these colors. Aacetus, I'll mix that with a bit of maple yellow to give these colors a pacel touch. Okay? The second color you will need is vermelion or any kind of orange. All these colors are from Shinhan. You can go with any brandy Hou court. It doesn't matter. Okay. So that's our second color now. The third one is crimson. It's a beautiful color. It is very bright and prominent. Okay. So those are the three colors I'll be using for the sky. The next two colors you will need is brown or burn. I'll be using burn. Then along with that you will also need some pinscrey to add the per tones and the textures. Okay? The final color is pinsray. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. You can go the Patel yellow or any yellow of your choice. Honestly doesn't need to be Patel yellow. You can use any of your bright yellow. Your sky will be a bit more brighter than mine. That's all. Alright, so we had a look at the colors. Now it's time to give it a try. Okay, I have all the colors and my paper ready here. The first thing you need to add is a horizon line. You can place it wherever you want to. I'm adding that a bit below the center of the paper. That's a sketch. That's all. There's nothing else you need to add. Now, I'm going to start by painting the ground for that. You will need two colors, which is burn sina, and paints gray. Once you have the colors ready, start by applying a coat of water and make it evenly. We don't add a lot of water, we only need a shiny coat. Okay, that's evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number six, round rush. The color I'm using here is a mix of paint screen and a little of brown. Okay, just mix these two colors together. I'm sorry. The color I'm using here is burn sina brown. But both the colors will work. You can either go with brown or burn scena. Now I'm going to add some random lines onto the wet background and I'm creating some texture. I'm also leaving some gap in between. I'm not filling the entire area. Okay. Now I'm cleaning my brush, dabbing it on a paper towel. With that clean, dry brush, I'm just munching it. Painting the snowy ground is a very quick and easy process. You can go with any color of your choice. It could be indico or ultramarine blue, or any other color. Depending on the kind of sky you're painting over here. It's a brownish color. It's a mix of burn sina and a bit of paintsray. But the technique is exactly the same. Now I'm adding a few more patterns using a taco tone too dark. It is still a medium tone, but compared to the color I used to call it is a little more taker. That's all. Okay, now I'm going to go with a clean brush. Now with that clean brush, I'm just merging the paint again to give it a softer look. Okay, so that's how the background has turned out. I have simply added some brownish tone onto the background. It's more like a burnt umper. Okay. Now we'll have to wait for this to try, and after that we can start with the sky. Okay? So that is right completely now, we can start with the sky, Paint the sky. You will need three colors, which is naples yellow, over million and crimson. Keep all the colors ready on your palette before you start. When you have them ready, you know what to do. Apply a coat of water onto the entire sky and make it even wet. We only need a shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot. Run your brush multiple times back and forth to be sure it's an even coat. Okay. Now, to start with, I'm going to go with a flat brush and I'm picking some naples yellow. And I'm going to apply that onto the entire background. You can see the color. It is a piece yellow. But as I mentioned earlier, you can go with any yellow of your choice. It can be a bright, prominent yellow. Your sky will be a bit more prominent. That's all. That's only difference. But you can go with any yellow of your choice. If you want to go for a piece yellow, you can add some white watercolor with any yellow and you'll get a similar color. Okay? Just apply yellow onto the entire background using any of your brush. The base layer is ready. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure aside to apply the clouds. I will go with the brush. This one is size number six. Go with any of your medium size brush. Now what I'm going to do next is I will pick some vermalion. I will mix that with naples yellow to turn that into a pastel orange. If you want a really intense pastel orange, only add a little of yellow. If you want a really soft and subtle color, you can add more yellow. Now using that color, I'm simply adding some clouds onto that wet yellow background in a very random way. I'm leaving some yellow spaces on the left and I'm adding some clouds on the right side. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going with crimson. Just the same way how I did earlier. I will mix crimson with some naples yellow. See that color? It's a beautiful color. Now, I'm adding that on the top to make the sky more interesting. Along with that, you can also add some more clouds wherever you want to. Okay, so just leave some yellow in between and wherever you want to, you can add some orange or some red clouds. You can make it more darker or lighter. That's totally your choice. Now, I'm bona paper towel. And with that dry brush, I'm just munching the paint. As you could see here, I'm just pushing and pulling the paint into each other to give it a softer look. Okay, that's the sky. Now, just in case if you want to introduce more paint, I mean, some more orange or some more red, you could do that. Right now I'm picking some more crimson and I'm adding that on the top. I feel like the color can be a bit more prominent. Okay, now maybe we can add a few more clouds using the same color. You guys don't need to follow the same way how I'm adding the clouds. You can add them wherever you want to. Maybe if you want to add some more orange clouds, you could do that. You just need to follow the color combination. The rest can be done in your own way. Okay, I'm adding some more paint on the top and that's it. I'm happy with the sky. The colors are looking really beautiful. I love that orange and yellow we have in between. Okay, So that's my sky. I don't want to overdo it, so I'm just going to call it turn now. Let's leave it for drying. The sky has dried completely and you can see how beautiful those colors are looking. Now the next task is to add some landscape in the background. For that, I'm going to start with the burn sina. I'm using my size number six round rush. Okay, now with that burn scena, I'm going to add a simple shape along the horizon. Then gradually I will add some taco tone at the bottom. Okay, go with brown or burn scena. Simply add a shape along the horizon. It can be shorter at one side, it could be higher on the other side. I'm starting that from the center, then as I go towards a right, I'm making it a bit more higher. No, I'm going to pick some taco tone. It's a mix of burn scena and pinscreen. For the remaining area, I'm going to use that taco tone. Okay. Now, finish off that shape. It's a very simple shape. It is not complicated. If you want to add that onto the entire horizon, you could do that. These are the plants and trees far away. You can add them however you want. My idea is to add a bigger stretch here, then another shorter one towards other side. Okay, now I'm going to add some more taco to it is just some pointy lines I'm adding and they will eventually look like trees. They are far away, so I'm not going to put a lot of effort. Okay, towards the center, I have used burn scena. Towards the right side, I have used some paint screen. It's a mix of pain screy and burn scena. Okay, that's how it has turned out. I'm happy with the results, but I'm thinking of extending that a little more. I'm picking more Burna just over here. I'm extending that a and I'm adding some teeny tiny plants over here. Okay. Next, I'm picking some paint screen. I'm adding that toward the bottom. On the top, we have some burn scena towards the bottom, we have a darker tone. That's it. So that is the first set of plans we have in the background. Next if we want to, you can add another set right next to this, or you can just leave it as it is. Okay? You can leave the other half empty. I'm going to add another smaller set. I'm going back with burn scena over here. I'm going to add another set of plants. Okay, you can modify the shape however you want. If you want to continue that to the other end, even that is totally fine. Okay, so that's the kind of shape I'm going with now. We could add some taco tone at the bottom. That's it. So those are the plants far away. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to add some textures on the background. For that, I'm going to dab my brush on a paper towel. There's already some taco tones on my brush. Just dab it on a paper towel. Maybe we can pick some paint. There isn't enough paint. All right. Now, with that take, I'm going to add some textures onto the background. These are just some simple dry patterns. You can add them however you want to. But don't go overboard. Go with a smaller brush and keep adding some textures on the background. Okay, don't use a bigger brush. If you use a bigger brush, those patterns will look too big. And also make sure your paint is dry before you start with the step. You can dab it on a paper towel just to be sure you might have noticed I'm adding these patterns on the areas where I have those medium tunes in the background go in a similar way because it will make it look more beautiful. Now onto the same areas we will add some grassy pattern. Okay, I'm going to add a few more in the background. With that, I'm going to call it, it is looking very beautiful. Those textos made a lot of difference. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Next, I'm going to go with a smaller brush. This one is size number two. I'm picking a mix of pins, gray and burn Sa, I need a Dako brown. You can use burn timber if you have one, or can simply make some pain scray with burn scena or brown to create a Dako tone. Now with that color, I'm going to add some tiny rocks on the ground. They're super tiny. See that go in a similar size. And add a few shapes in between. They all can be of different size and shape. We don't need a lot, we only need a little here and there. That's all okay, go the similar size, Don't make it too big. It can be even more smaller, that's fine. But don't make it too big. At some places you will just need to add a A see that I'm just creating a small cluster of rocks. I don't want to make it too busy, so I'm just adding a few here and there. That's all. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some grassy pattern. That's our next task. Maybe we can add a tiny one here. The left side is empty, so we can add a few tiny rocks in between. Okay, that's it. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some more paint. The same mix of paints, gray and persina, but this time it's not a dry paint. Okay, so that's a mixer of burn scena and a bit of paint screen. Now I'm going to add some grassy pattern. I'm going to add the first set over here. See that? It's just a matter of adding some grassy pattern. The brush I'm using here, a size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. It could be a detailing brush or a liner brush. Next, I'm picking a daco. I'm adding a few more lines using a daco tone. Okay, so onto the same section, I'm adding a few more lines using a daco tone of brown. See that? Let's add a few onto the other side. As for, okay, that's a first set of grass. Now in a similar way, I'm going to add a few more set maybe. Let's go with the left to get that crisp and clean lines. The brush is really important. Go with any of your detailing brush or a smaller brush which has got a really nice pointed tip. Okay, I'm adding the next set of grass over here. You can see how pointy and crispy those lines are go in a similar way. Some of them can be taller and some of them can be shorter. Make it look as realistic as possible. Don't add all of them in the same way. My brush is size number two and you can see that pointed tip. I'm able to draw those crispy and thin lines quite easily with this brush. I have been using this for quite a few years now and I'm very comfortable with it. Okay. Now I'm going to add a few more grassy patterns here and there. And that's a last step that will be done with this painting. Maybe you could add some birds in the sky or a tree. To me, I feel like I don't want to add any more details. I'm just going to leave it this way. We have been adding a lot of elements and details onto the other painting for a change. Maybe we can go with simple one. I have added one more set of grass. Now, maybe another one over here. If you want to add few more, that's tally, fine. Maybe you can add a plant, a dried plant or something to make it look more interesting or maybe a bigger rock. Okay. But don't add a lot of details. Let it be minimal and beautiful. Okay. Now using a darker tone, I'm adding a few more lines. I think with that I will call it done. Maybe we can add some more textures on the ground if needed. I think I can add a few at the bottom. Or maybe we can add some more grassy line onto this corner here. Just take a look at your painting if you feel like adding some more details. It could be a grassy line or some birds or a tree or anything. Go ahead with that. Okay, that's how it has turned out. I'm quite happy with it now. I'm just going to add a few more textures on the ground closer to these grassy pattern. That's the last thing I'm going to do. Those grassy lines and textures made a lot of difference. Otherwise it looks quite plain and empty. Now if you want to, you can add some birds on the sky. It will be a great element. Okay, that hour painting for the day. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Oops, the paper came off for many reasons, I'm having a really bad time with this paper. In a way, it's fine. We can fix it with a glue stick. I have a glue stick here and I'm going to add some glue. I will stick it. It's just a quick fix. Luckily, I didn't tear it off. Okay, that looks fine. The masking tape I'm using here, it's a very normal masking tape. And usually it used to work with almost all kinds of paper, but for some reason for this, it is not working. It's a third time I'm tearing off my painting anyway, it was a quick fix. And here's our painting. I hope you all liked it to me, It's a gorgeous painting. I absolutely loved the way it has turned out. It is simple yet so beautiful. Now let me show you the paper that I was talking about. This is the one, I'm not sure if it's 100% cotton, it's not mentioned anywhere. But it is my first time with this paper and I'm having a really bad time anyways. That's all for the day. I hope you all enjoyed today's painting. If I had to try it, give it a try and let me know if you liked it. Thank you so much for joining today. I'll be back here soon with our next winter landscape. 26. Day 23 - Far Away Cabin: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 23. Today we're painting a very beautiful and soft winter evening. It's a very lovely painting and I'm sure you all are going to love it. So let's start by having a look at the colors. I will start with the sky. I have used Basel colors for the sky. You can see it's a Basel Blue and Basel Orange. To create these colors, I have added some white water clor, with cadmium yellow orange. That is the orange you see at the bottom. The color you see on the top is indigo. Okay. It's a mix of indigo and white water Cl and that's how I have created that basil blue. It can be any other blue of your choice. If you want a bright blue, you can change blue into pression blue or any other clue and just add some white water clor with it. Same goes with orange. You can use vermilion or any other orange you have caught according to the color you want. You can add more white or less white. Okay, so those are the two colors you will need for the sky. As I just said, you can go with vermilion or scarlet or even a different color will work, like pink or purple or any other color. Okay, that summarize the colors you will need for the sky. The next major color you will need is paints gray. You can see the mountain. I have used a lighter tone on the top and a taco tune towards the bottom. Also, for those pine trees, you will need paints gray. That is our next major color. Okay. Now we will need one more color which is brown or burn scena or any similar color. I will use that for the cabin. We have two tiny cabins far away. For that you will need a tiny bit of brown or burn sina. Okay. So that is the last color you will need. You will only need four colors for this entire painting. And also some white watercolor. It doesn't need to be gua, water color is enough. Okay. So those are the colors you will need for today's painting. For the snowy crowned asphalt, we will use Tico. It's going to be a medium tone, we won't be adding any white. Okay. That summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Keep them ready and let's give it a try. Okay, So my paper is ready. Now, I'm starting by adding the sketch. You will need to add the horizon line, then a mountain far away, and also to tiny cabin. Okay. Start by adding a line, an irregular line. Now we need to add a mountain right behind that. It's a simple mountain. I'm going to start that from here on our at the center. It can be a bit more higher then I'm again taking that down. Okay, that's a sketch. Now we will need to add a pathway which you don't need to add right now. We can add them as your painting. It will be over here. Maybe you can just add a reference sketch. Okay, Next we need to add two tiny cabin far away over here. It's a very simple shape, but then be mindful about the size, Go the similar size to create that sense of distance in your painting. If it's too big, you won't get that depth. Okay, so that's the size you have to go with If it's smaller? Well and good. Okay, that's a sketch. We have two tiny cabin, a mountain in the background and also a snowy ground. As we're painting, we'll be adding some pine trees on either side. There's some simple shapes. We'll be adding them over here like that and then also on the other side. Okay, that's a sketch. I hope you guys have all the colors ready on your palette. The very first color you will need is Intigo. We'll be using that for the snowy crown. Then right after that, we will start with the sky. We'll use indigo on the top and orange at the bottom. Okay? Keep all the colors ready on your palette. And once you have them ready, start by applying cot of water. A nice shiny cot of water. Don't add a lot. Okay? So that is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number six. On rush, I'm picking a medium tone of indigo. Now let's apply that color onto the background in a very random way. Okay? If you paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Now, simply add some lines and some shapes onto the background, leaving some space in between. Don't fill up the entire area. I'm not adding a lot towards the top. I want to retain most of the paper white over there. I'm adding some lines only at the bottom. Okay. That's a ground next. We are going to paint that pathway, so I'm picking some more indico with the same brush. See that? Now I'm adding a curvy line, an irregular one. It is not perfectly shaped, at the bottom it is more wider, and towards the top it is very narrow. Okay. And go in a similar curvy way and add your paint onto the wet background. It doesn't need to be perfectly shaped just adding the paint however you can, and create a very rough pathway like this. Okay? Don't use a very dark tone. Go with a similar tonal value. I will add some more shapes in between with that same tonal value. Okay? So we just start a few shapes and random lines in between then Smart. Okay. There is a snowy ground and the pathway. Next we are going to go ahead with the sky. In the meantime, this will try. Okay? Now for the sky, you will need a pistol indico and a pistol orange, which means you will need to have some white articular along with these two colors. I'm taking out a bit of white aticular here with orange. I think I have some. We'll apply indico on the top and orange at the bottom. It's going to be a simple blend. I'm starting by applying a coat of water. I'm not adding any water onto the mountain. I'm carefully running my brush around that shape. Okay. So the sky is evenly wet. Now, go with any brush that you prefer. It could be a flat brush or a round brush to apply the paint onto the sky. I'm going to go with a size number eight round brush. Okay, now I'm starting by mixing some white at color with Indico to create a pastel blue according to the Intico. Also, according to the amount of white you're adding, the color can be a bit different and that is totally fine. That's my color. It is a mix of Indico. Add a bit of white. The Indico I'm using here is from art philosophy. Next I'm picking some Y and I'm making it lighter. Okay, that's a first step. Go with a pastel indico or a pastel blue, any color of your choice. Add that onto your sky. Okay, now I'm going to wash my brush again and I will go with some clean white. I will add that over here. Next, I'm mixing and creating a pastel orange. I will add that along the mountain. I will blend that with the blue. Carefully apply the paint around the mountain following that outline. For this step, a round brush would be better. I don't know if a flat brush will work okay. That is Basel orange and Patel blue. Now I'm cleaning my brush again. Then with a clean brush, I'm just blending these two colors. I don't want them to get mixed into each other a lot. Okay. I'm being very gentle. I'm not putting a lot of pressure. I'm not rushing, I'm being very careful. Okay. That's how it has turned out. I'm very happy with the colors and the blend. Now, maybe we can add some more orange at the bottom, especially over here. I feel there isn't enough orange and I'm carefully blending them again. Okay, that's how it has turned out. I'm very happy with the blend and the colors. Now I'm going to leave it for trying. Okay, so let us try completely next. We can start with the mountain. For that, the only color you will need is paint scray. Squeeze out some paint scray onto your palette. And go with any of your medium size brush. The one I'm going to use here, a size number six. Okay, I'm just adding a few drops of water. I'm starting with a medium tone. We have done a similar mountain earlier. When I'm applying the paint on the top, I'm going to leave some gaps in between which will end up looking like the snow. Just some linear shapes and some random shapes. It doesn't need to have any particular length or shape, or size. Okay, Start with a medium tone. As you're applying the paint, leave some caps in between. See that at the beginning, it might look quite messy, but that's okay. We can fix it as we progress. Now on this side, I'm leaving some caps in between. See that? Towards the bottom, we can just fill it up. Only on the top. We need these caps. Now over here I'm leaving some random shapes and lines in between. Okay, now we can fill up the rest with the same tonal value. Now just in case if you couldn't leave enough Captain between there is nothing to worry. We can come back with some white particular and add them I can at the end. Okay. For now there is nothing to worry. You can fill up the remaining area and the same tonal value. You can see it is quite messy. Right now, it doesn't look that beautiful. But trust me, this is just part of the process. We'll add more darker tones and some textures onto this. It will start to look more and more realistic. Now I'm adding the paint around the cabin. Be very careful, don't add any paint onto them, especially onto the roof. Okay. So that is the base layer. You can see it is quite messy. Now, what I'm going to do is I will dab my brush on a paper towel. Okay? Now, with that clean, dry brush, I'm just mudging the paint a little to give it a softer look so that we can get rid of those rough patches. Just push and pull the paint into each other and give it a slightly softer look. See that on the top, we still have those white patches, I mean the white caps. And then towards the bottom, we have a medium tone of paint screen. Now I'm going to pick some more paint, a slightly taco tone with the same brush and I'm going to introduce there at the bottom most area. Simply drop that in onto that wet background. Then again, we will smudge, We need these taco tones only at the bottom, so don't add any on the top. Try to retain that medium tone. And those white spaces only at the bottom introduce some taco tone. Okay, that's what has turned out. Next I'm going to dap my brush on a paper towel again and then I will smudge the paint. Okay, grab a paper towel, dap it quite a few times. Now, smug the paint. Be very gentle when you're smudging it. Don't put a lot of pressure, Just keep pushing and pulling the paint up and down and get rid of those strong patches. Okay. You can see the difference. Earlier it wasn't looking that cut, but now with those darker tones, it is looking a lot more beautiful. But we still haven't done, we need to introduce some more tucker tones, some dried textures. We'll be adding the textures once this has dried, let's add some more medium tones at the bottom, especially onto the right and the left. Okay, the side looks fine. I need to add some more paint on the other side as well, just to give it a proper shape. Okay, that has turned out now. We'll have to wait for this to try. In the meantime, we can add some dry patterns on the ground. Co pack with some paint screen, a slightly darker tone. Then dab, you brush on a paper towel and make sure the paint is dry. Now simply add some textures on that pathway. See that? Don't add a lot, we only need a few two at the bottom. You can leave the top area at because that area is quite far from us and you don't need to add any details over there. Now, when you're adding these patterns, try to go with a smaller brush. If it's a bigger brush, they will end up becoming too big. Okay, that's the patterns we need. Don't add a lot, we only need a few at the bottom. Okay. The mountain hasn't dried yet, so let's take a short break and come back when it has dried completely. Okay, here we are. Everything has dried completely. Next, we're going to add some more textures onto the mountain. For that, we'll have to go back with paints gray, we will need a dry paint. Once they've taken the paint a it on a paper towel, we can just add some dry textures onto the mountain, mostly at the bottom On the top, You don't need to add more because we need to retain those lighter tones and the white spaces, which is really important to create that snowy character just towards the bottom. Adding textures using paints, gray. Just be sure to dab your brush on a paper towel every time you have taken the paint. Okay, now simply add some right textures over here. These textures we're adding right now will make our mountain look more realistic. It will add an extra dimension even if you're adding just a little, don't skip this step. Go some try pane, just add some messy rough textures onto the mountain. You can add a few on the top, but focus mostly at the bottom where you have that medium tones. Okay, this side is nearly done in a similar way we have to patterns on the other side. Asp, I think it is clear. You can see the difference between these two sides. The left side is looking quite plain and empty. It doesn't have that finished. Look, let's quickly add some more tri patterns on this side then we can go with the cabin. Okay, so just got some dry paint on your brush and simply add some textures on to the mountain. Okay, so that task is done. Next we're going to paint the cabin, and for that you will need a brownish color. I'm going to go with permanent brown. You can go with brown, or crimson, or scarlet, or even burn sena. Any color will work. So I'm just going to squeeze out a bit of permanent brown onto my palette, just a teeny tiny bit. This cabin is super tiny, so if you want to go with a smaller brush, that would be perfect. Okay, so that is brown. I'm using a taco tone and I'm going to add that on the first side, the triangular side. Then onto the other side, I will use a slightly taco tone. Okay, Onto this side, I'm introducing some brown. It could be brown. Or burn sina, Both the colors will walk or any other color you prefer. Now, onto the other side, I'm adding the same color. Okay. Carefully follow the outline. We're not going to add any textures or any details onto the roof. We're going to lay them plain and empty. If the shape is not proper, you can go back with some white, articular, or quash and fix the shape. Okay. Next I'm picking a tiny bit of paint screen and I'm adding that with brown to create a darker tone. I'm adding that on the other side over here, Asp. It's a teeny tiny cabin so there is no need to add a lot of details. This is all we need Next. I'm picking some more paint screen. I'm starting to add some pine trees. Okay. So go with the taco tone and let tat some pine trees on either side of the cabin. I'm starting with the right side. These are going to be very simple ones. I'm not going to add a lot of detail, I'm adding some lines close to each other. If you want to go with a little more detail, you can add some shapes of pine trees in between, some very rough shapes like this. Add the tree trunk, then add some zigzag lines onto either side. Okay? These are very far so there is no need to put a lot of effort. You can just add some simple shapes. Okay? So that is the right side. I have added a few trees over here. You can see how they have turned out. They are very far. Even if you add some simple shapes far away, they will eventually look like pine trees. Okay. So that is the right side. Now on the other side, I'm planning to add some bigger trees. Let me quickly finish this side. Okay? So that is the right side. Now let's add some bigger trees on the left. That's the same pressure. I'm using size number six. You can go the smaller one if that is more comfortable with you. Now first I'm adding a line, which is the tree trunk. Now onto that I'm going to add some teeny tiny lines onto either side. Just some messy lines. They are not very well detailed, are perfectly shaped. See that? That's our first pine tree. It is just a matter of adding some messy lines onto either side of that tree trunk. Let's try another one. Start by adding a line, a straight line. Next, I'm going to add some messy lines onto either side. See that? Just run your brush back and forth and add some irregular messy lines as you're coming down. Make them a little wider. See that that's a second tree. It's a very simple technique. Just try it out maybe on a scrap piece of paper first, then you can add them on your main painting. I'm going to add another one, tree trunk and then some messy lines. That's it. See simple, right? You can use this technique to paint the trees far away. If it's a closer one, obviously you'll have to put a lot more effort. For the ones that are far away, this is more than enough. Now, I'm adding a few more trees towards a cabin. I'm making them shorter. Next I will add another cluster here over here. I'm just adding some very basic shapes and then I'm thinking to add some more bigger trees on the right side, towards the end. Okay, well let's add few similar trees over here. Start by adding a line, then onto either side, just keep running your brush and add some messy rough lines. That's all I'm adding. One more. You can add these trees in less than like 10 seconds or maybe a bit more. Not more than that. It's a quick step for the trees far away. This technique is the best. That's how our painting has turned out. I'm very happy with it. The color combination is absolutely beautiful. Also allow the depth we have created. Here it is, because we have gone in with a very small size for the cabin. Now there is one task which you can do, which is adding some more white lines. If you feel there isn't enough, just go with some white verticlar or white quash. I'm picking some paint directly with my brush. Okay. Now, just in case if you feel like there isn't in a white line on a mountain, just add them again. That's all. See that I'm extending one of the line to make it look more snowy. The line over here, this step is completely optional. Only if you feel like there isn't enough snow on your mountain, you can add some more lines. Otherwise, I think it is in a good shape. You don't need to add any extra line. Okay, that's our painting for the day. I hope you all are happy with the result. I'm really happy. I love the colors and the depth we have created here. Next I'm going to peel off the masking tape. I will show you a closer look of this painting. Okay, so here we are. Here is our gorgeous winter landscape for the team. Beautiful, right? I love those details and the mountain. I hope you all enjoy it too. Thank you so much for joining me. I'll be back here soon with our next winter landscape. 27. Day 24 - Winter Night: Hello dear friends, welcome to 824. Today we're going to paint a very simple, yet a beautiful winter night. You can see the painting, it's a pretty simple one with a very limited color palette. You know the drill. So let's start by looking at the colors you will need. Looking at the painting itself, I think you can guess most of the colors. You will need a blue paint, Sra, and into. The blue I'm going to use here as royal blue, you can go with any blue of your choice, preferably a bright blue. This one is a very beautiful blue. You can see that from the painting itself. You can use Theo Blue, red, or ultramarine blue, or Prussian blue, or any blue of your choice. This one is my other favorite blue. It's again a bright blue. But this one has tried up. I accidentally left it open. Now I need to find a way to reactivate it. Anyway, choose a blue of your choice, or purple or any other color you want to go. Okay, now I will spatch out royal blue. I will only be using this color for the tier sky on the top. I have used a taco tone. Then toward the center, I have made it lighter. Okay. So you will just need one single color for the sky. If you want to make it even more darker on the top, you can introduce some indico or any other Taco blue. Okay. So that's the first color. The second one you will need is indico, which is the one I'll be using for the snowy ground. Okay, so onto the wet background, as user, we will simply add some medium tones of indico in a very random way, leaving some white caps in between, and that's a snowy ground. Okay, the second color is indigo. Now we need one more color which is paints gray. There isn't enough paint here, but there is paints gray. We will use the tacoton of paints gray for the trees, then those plants in the background, and also to add some trite patterns on the ground. Okay. That summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. Along with this, you will also need some white verticlor to add the moon and also to add some details. Okay? That summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Now it's time to get a try. Okay, so I have my paper as well as the colors ready here. Now I'm going to add the sketch, which is nothing but a simple line. We just need an irregular line. On the right side, I'm making it a bit higher then towards the left, it is sloping down. Then I'm adding another line over here. Okay, that's the only sketch you need to add. Then as we're painting, we'll be adding some trees over here. It could be one, or two, or three, or four. That's totally your choice. Okay, that's a sketch. Now we can start applying the paint. Now the first color you will need is indigo. We're going to start with the snowy ground, squeeze out some indigo onto your palette. And once you have it ready, start by applying a coat of water. Leave out that small section on the top and apply water only onto the bottom section. Okay, we can paint the section first, then we can paint the smaller section on the top. Carefully apply a pot of water onto the bottom section. Then let's go with the medium tone of indico. Go with any of your smaller brush, the one I'm using here, a size number six, and also keep a paper towel next to you. If you feel the paint is to water, you can dap it on a paper towel. Okay, now let's start applying the paint onto this wet background. I'm starting from the top and I'm simply adding some random lines towards the bottom. We are painting on night sky today. The tonal value of Indico can be a bit more accurate than the color we normally use for a sky. Okay, now I'm adding some paint at the bottom as well. I'm adding them in a super random way and I'm adding some shapes and some lines in between and you can still see some white space which is the paper white. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Maybe we can add some more paint a little on the top, in between, and also towards the bottom. I'm adding the paint from the top, towards the bottom to make it look like the sloping down. Now with the dry brush, I'm just merging those patterns to give it a softer look. Okay, I'm being very gentle. I'm not putting a lot of pressure. That's how it has turned out. You can add in a few more patterns if you feel like. You can see the tonal value here. It is not super light, okay? Go the similar tonal value. Otherwise, when it dries, it will be even more lighter. Okay, I think it looks fine. Now, we can paint the other section in the background. I'm going with a medium tone and I'm going to apply that onto this section. I'm leaving a tiny cap in between so that the paint won't smug into each other if you don't want to take a risk and if you want to be on the safer side, maybe you can lay this for trying and then paint the background section, or it can be a little careful while applying the paint. You just need to leave a tiny cap in between, then it will be good. Just apply that paint in the background and fill this section. See that? That's tonal value I'm going with. Now with the same brush, you can pick a slightly darker tone, not too dark, just one tune darker. Then you can just add some lines onto that section. Okay, so let's pick a tiny bit of paint again, then add a few lines and some sheeps see that it's not too dark, go a similar tonal value. Don't make it too prominent. Okay, that's snow a ground. I'm just adding one more line here and that's it. It is starting to dry, so I'm not taking a risk. Now, we need to leave this for trying. And after that, we can start with a sky. Okay, so that is right. Next we can start with the sky, and the only color you will need is royal blue or any other blue of your choice. I hope you guys have the color ready on your palette. Now we're going to add a moon somewhere over here. Just keep in mind this spot over here. We have to go with a lighter tone. Okay, I'm starting by applying coat of water onto the entire sky using my 1 " flood rush. Apply a nice shiny coat of water and make it evenly wet. Okay, so that is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number eight Trish. I'm starting off with the taco tone. Oops, that's okay. In who? I'm going to apply blue onto the entire area, so that's not a problem. Now I'm going to apply that taco tone on the top. Okay. Now where I have the moon, I'm not applying much paint. I'm just leaving that white space over there. Now I'm filling the remaining area. Okay. So just fill up that entire area in bloom. I'm thinking of making this line a bit lower. Only on the left side. Okay. So that the other side will look a lot more higher. Okay. If you want to go for a straight line, that's totally fine. I mean, a straight horizon or it can alter the shape a little. Okay. Now I'm filling the remaining area, we have a nice daco blue on the top. Then we have left out some space at the center, which is where we're going to place the moon. Okay, now from either side, I'm just pushing and pulling the paint towards the center, but I'm not really applying a lot of paint over there. See that? Now I'm picking more paint, a much more taco. I will apply that on the top. Then as I'm coming towards the Cento, I will just add the paint from either side towards the center. I won't fill up that lighter space we have at the center. Okay, so just keep that in mind. It's not a complicated task. The only major thing here is making your background stab it for a longer time. If you're seeing a good quality of Aticlor paper that will be sorted, then just keep applying the paint from either side towards the center. Just keep dragging your brush from the right towards the center and also from the left toward the center. See that you can try the same technique with any color of your choice. It could be even paints gray, you can create a very interesting sky. Just keep running your brush from either side towards the center. See that. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel so there is no paint on my brush. And it is dry, it is not watery. Now, with that damp brush, I'm just pushing and pulling the paint only at the center. I'm not introducing any new paint over here. Okay. Don't put a lot of pressure. Be very gentle when you're doing this step. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. I'm loving it. I'm only using the tip of my brush. If I put a lot of pressure, there will be some brush marks, be very gentle, don't disturb the base layer. Okay, we have some lighter tune at the center. Now, if you want to add some more Taco tune, you could do that. I feel like I could add some more paint only on the top. The rest I'm really happy with, to create that contrast, I'm thinking of adding some more Taco tune at the center. If you're happy with the result, you don't need to add any extra paint. Also, if your background is starting to dry, that is another reason not to add any more paint. Okay, I'm just adding some taco tone on the top then. I'm just spreading that into the background. See that? That's my sky. I'm very, very happy with the way it has turned out. Now, let's leave it for drying. It's a very interesting sky and the best part is that we have used only one color, such a wonderful sky, right? I'm extremely happy with the result. Next I'm going to add the moon. I already have some white watercolor on my palette. I'm picking a bit of paint and opaque paint. With that, I'm going to add a tiny circle right to the center where we have that lighter tone. You can go watercolor or gage. Both will work, but don't add a lot of water. Got an opaque paint now in case if you don't want to add the moon, that is totally fine. You can just leave that area actus without adding the moon. Okay. So the brush I'm using here is size number six and I'm using white articular. I'm simply adding a white circle. You can go the similar size, Don't make it too big. Okay, that's the moonlets sky. Now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm switching to paint scray. I think we can start adding the landscape far away. We don't need to wait, go the tacon of pain scray and use any of your smaller brush or a medium sized brush. Now I'm going to add a very simple shape along the horizon. I'm starting from here, I'm adding some lines using the tip of my brush. Then I will fill the bottom part. Okay, on the top, you just need some lines close to each other. They can be of any height. On the left, I have made them a bit higher than, as I'm coming towards the center and making them a bit shorter. Okay, I will stop at the center. I'm not going to continue that till the other end. Adding your trace however you want to. It can be a bit more higher or shorter. That's totally your choice. You can go for a straight horizon line or you can go for a similar profile as mine. Okay? Those things are totally your choice. Add the trace however you want to. These are really far, you don't need to put a lot of effort. You can simply add a rough shape there, that's all. Okay, so I have reached the center, that's my limit. I'm not going to take them towards the other end. Now, maybe I will make some of these a bit more higher, they're not really visible. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some dry patterns on the ground. So I'm going to grab my paper towel. There's already some paints Carey on my brush. So you can just dab your brush on a paper towel and make your paint dry with that dry paint. Let's keep adding some texture on the ground. Adding them from the top towards the bottom in a sloping manner. Okay, To emphasize on that sloping, simply go with some dry paint on your brush and add some dry patterns on the ground. They don't need to have any particular size or shape or anything, just go with some dry paint and keep adding them. If you feel like your paint is not dry, dab a brush on a paper towel. I can repeat the same step. Okay. Be sure to go with the dry paint. We don't want these patterns to be too prominent. I'm adding them from the top towards the bottom to replicate the slope. Now I'm adding a few in the background as well. Just a few straight patterns, that's all. Now let's continue with the other section. Just add them as if they are sloping. Follow that profile. I think you can already see that difference here. It looks like the sloping down, yeah. Just add the patterns in a similar way to make your painting look more interesting. Follow that sloping profile. Don't add those patterns in a straight line. You can see here, I'm adding them mostly on the top where we're going to add the trays. Towards the left where we have that whiter space, I'm not adding much. Okay. Now let's quickly add a few more patterns. After that we can start with the trays. Okay, So that's how it has turned out. Earlier it was looking quite plain. Now with those textos, it looks complete. Okay, Now the next task we have is adding the trees with the same. I'm going to pick more paint and I will add the trees towards the right side. Okay, let's pick more paint which is not dry. Now, I'm going to start with the first tree. The trees are going to be very simple ones. I'm not putting a lot of effort, they are just straight. That's my first tree. I will make it a bit more thicker towards the bottom. You can just leave an irregular shape. It will simply looks like they are covered in the snow. As I mentioned, I'm going to add the trees in a straight way. But if you want to make it more interesting, you can go for an irregular shape. It could be slanting towards the right or the left. Okay. Those things are totally your choice. That's my first tree. I will make it a bit more thicker, then I will add two more. Okay. I'm just making it a bit more thicker. Once I'm done with the tree trunks, I will add all the branches for now. I'm just focusing on the tree trunk now. I'm adding the second one right next to this one over here. Okay, perfect. That's in a similar thickness. Again, now we can add one more that could be to what's left. All right, so I have added the tree trunks. Now with this press, I will add one or two major branches. Then I'll go with a smaller one to add the remaining branches. Just like I said about the trees, you can add the branches however you want to. You really don't need to look at the screen right now. Also, the more branches, the more beautiful your trees will be. Just add them wherever you want to. And however you want to, you don't need to replicate the same way how I'm adding them. Now I'm adding one on the top, another one over here. Okay. Now I'm going to go with my smaller brush to add the remaining branches. This one is size number two. With this, I can add some thin, delicate branches. Okay? So switch to any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush and add in as many branches as you want. Look at that. So beautiful, right? Those trees and the branches made a lot of difference. If you want to add in move branches, go ahead. You can add them wherever you want to go with any of your smaller brush and added more and move branches. I will add one more on the top, then maybe another one over there. Just look at your painting and add them wherever you feel like. Try to add them in a very thin, delicate manner. Don't make them too bold. The press I'm using right now is size number two. It's a wonderful brush and it has got a really nice pointed tip. It is good to have a nice brush in your collection with which you can add all those thin and delicate line work. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now I'm going to clean my brush. I'm going back with some white atclor. This pain has dried up. I'm just adding a drop of water. Okay. Now I'm going to add some highlights onto these trees. It's not the snow, it is the moon light reflecting onto these trees. I'm just adding that on one side. See that? You just need to add a thin, delicate line onto the left side of the trees. It doesn't need to be a continuous straight line. It can be a broken line. Here is a closer look and you can see that broken line in a similar way. It doesn't need to be a continuous line. Now let's add a little towards the bottom, then we can go with the second tree. For this step, you have to go with any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush. Even a white gel pen will work. Don't make it too thick and bold. We just need a broken line. Now onto the last one, see that? Add them onto the side which is closer to the moon and it doesn't need to continue till the top or till the bottom. Just add it at the center. I'm not adding much onto the branches. I'll just pick one or two. That's it. Okay. So that's how our painting has turned out. I hope you all enjoyed it. It's a quick one with a limited color palette, so we had to try to give it a try. I'm very sure you're going to love this also. If you don't want to use blue for the sky, try purple or paint screen. My daughter gave this start to me. I didn't realize it was there. Anyway, that's how our painting has turned out. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape, and here we are. Here is our gorgeous winter night, 40 24. It's a quick one and even a simple one. We don't have a lot of details or any complicated techniques, so yeah, that's all for the tea. Thank you so much for joining. I will be back here soon with our next winter landscape. 28. Day 25 - Snowy Bridge: Hello my lovely friends. Welcome to day 25. Here's the painting that we're going to try today. It's a simple winter evening. The major feature of this painting is a bridge. Okay. As usual, let's start by looking at the colors you will need for the sky. I will be using three colors, which is violet, permanent rose, and orange. The color you see here is violet. It is permanent violet from Shinhan. That's a color I'll be using on the top. The second one is permanent rose. If you don't have permanent rose, you can go with crimson or even opera pink. This is the one. Okay. So that's the second color I will use for the sky. We're going to go for a blend of three colors. Violet on the top, rose at the center, then orange towards the bottom. Okay? The third color is orange. This one is brilliant orange. You can go with any orange you have caught or even vermin will work. Those are the three colors you will need for the sky. You can change the colors as you wish. It doesn't need to be the same colors, Okay? Now, the next color you will need is brown. And paints gray. Which are the two colors I will use for the fence and for those landscape in the background. This one is brown. Go with Burn Sena if you don't have brown. Finally, you will also need some paints, gray, to add the deeper tones. Okay. That summarize all the colors you will need for tours painting. Obviously, you will also need some white water color to add all the snowy textures. Okay, keep all the colors ready. Let's give it a try. Okay, so let's start with the sketch. I have the colors on my paper ready here. The major element in this painting is a small wooden bridge. I'm going to place that right at the center. First I will add the horizon line, which is a bit below the center of the paper. We have some landscape element in the background which you don't need to add right now. We can add them as we're painting. Now let's start with the bridge. I will start with the wooden post. We need some vertical and some horizontal divisions to create that bridge. That's a first wooden post. Next I will add the platform. You can modify the shape however you want. This one is a very simple bridge. I'm not adding much details onto it. Okay, so that's the first post and the platform. Now I'm going to add another one over here. Similarly, we need to add wooden post on the other side as well. Add them in a similar height. That's the next one. We need to add one more right next to that in a similar height. Okay, so we have added all the verticals. Now we need to add the horizontal sections. I'm going to add that over here. First, we just need a thick horizontal line. It doesn't need to be perfectly shaped. No matter how the sketches, when we add the snow, it will look really beautiful. Now I'm adding another vertical section there. And also at the end. Okay, so the right side is done. Now let's add the vertical and the horizontal sections on the other side. Okay, that's a sketch. I know it's a very rough sketch, but that's all you need When we add all the brown paint and the textures and the snowy patches, it will look all better. For now. This is all we need. Maybe you can make it a bit more thicker, these horizontal ones. Okay, that's it. That's our sketch, I think. Now we can start with the sky. As I mentioned earlier, we will need three colors for the sky. Violet, rose and orange for the base layer, we will go for a blend of these three colors. Then we will add some clouds using violet. Okay, that's a plan. Now let's start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Make sure your brush is clean before you start. Now, apply a nice even coat of water onto the entire sky. Run your brush back and forth multiple times just to be sure the coat of water is even okay, so that is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number E, Tron brush, stylish. Make sure it is clean. Now let's go with the violet. I'm using a medium tone and I'm going to apply this on the top of the sky. I think it can be a bit more brighter. Otherwise, when it dries, it will be even more lighter. Okay. So I'm adding some more paint. Now, I'm cleaning my brush. I'm going with Rose. If you don't have Rose, go with crimson. This one is a bit more brighter than crimson. That's only difference. I'm cleaning my brush. I can, I'm adding some more pink at the bottom. Now, let's clean it again and go with orange. Okay. Now let's apply that color on the remaining area. Let's blend that with Rose. I'm going with a brighter tone of orange to create that contrast in the sky. It is not a lighter tone. Maybe we can drop in some more orange almost all the time. When I'm painting, since skies, I use brighter tones at the bottom to create a beautiful contrast in the sky. That's how the base layer has turned out. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside. I'm going with my smaller brush. This one is size number six. I'm going back with violet. That's the color we're going to use to add the clouds. I have taken some violet. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel, then simply apply some clouds onto that bed background, mostly on the top. I'm not going to add much towards the bottom. My focus is on the top part where we have violet in the background. Just go with the color which is a bit more darker than the color we have used for the background. Then simply add the clouds however you want to go with the medium size fresh, preferably five, or six, or even four, so that you have better control on the size of the clouds. I'm adding a few clouds where I have rose Asphal, but that's my limit. I won't be adding any more clouds towards the bottom. Okay, maybe we can add a few more using a brighter tune. I'm picking some more paint and I'm adding some more darker clouds on the top to make our sky look more interesting. Okay, I think it is looking pretty nice. I'm very happy with the colors and the blend and the clouds. So let's call it done and let's leave it for drying. Okay, So that is right completely. Next we can paint the snowy ground. We'll paint that section first, and then we will come to the bridge. I'm starting by applying a coat of water. We'll use some orange as well as violet to paint the snowy ground. Okay. Simply apply coat of water onto this entire area. First you can leave that platform and apply water onto the remaining area. Okay. So that is even we now, I'm going to go with my size number six B. I'm starting with a bit of orange first. Okay. If it's too watery. Abt on a paper towel. Now, with that medium tone of orange, I'm going to add some lines along the horizon over here. Simply add a few lines. They don't need to be perfectly shaped or anything, just apply them randomly onto the wet background. Okay, next I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going with violet. Again, a medium tone. If it's watery, abit on a paper towel. Now, simply add some lines onto that wet background using violet. Okay, I'm adding a few towards the bottom as full. You can add them however you want to. There can be some lines or some shapes, it doesn't matter. Simply add some shapes onto the background. Also leave some gaps in between. Don't fill up the entire area. When it dry served, it will leave a soft texture and that is what we need. Okay, The right side is almost done. Now, I need to add similar patterns on the left side as well. Okay. I'm picking more violet and I'm adding a few random patterns onto this corner. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Maybe one or two Tucker patterns. Okay. So that is a snowy ground. It is just a matter of adding some orange and to violet lines onto the bed background. Now let's leave it for drying for the next steps, you will need some brown and paint screen. I will take out both the colors onto my palette. If you don't have brown, go with burn scena, both the colors will work. This one is permanent brown from art philosophy. Next, I need some paint screen. Okay, we have both the colors ready. First, I will paint those landscape in the background. Then we can go with the bridge. Okay, go with brown or burn. Let's add a random shape along the background. For now, I'm only using brown. I'm using a taco tone. Then later I will go with paint screen and I will add some taco tones. Okay, if you feel like your brown or burn cina is too light, add a bit of paints, gray. For me this color is quite dark. I'm just using it. Actus. Just add a simple shape like this on the top. You can add some lines close to each other along the bottom. You can simply fill it up. I'm taking them around those wooden post, see that it doesn't need to be perfectly shaped. We'll be adding some paint on it and also some snow patches simply leave out a shape however you can. Okay. I'm just adding some tiny, tiny lines first using the tip of my brush. That's how I have got those patterns on the top. Then I'm just applying the paint and I'm filling it up. Okay. Now, let's continue that till the other end. At some places those landscape can be taller, at some places it can be shorter. This will make your painting look more realistic. Over here, I have made it shorter. And on the left hand it's a bit more higher. Now I'm going to continue the same till the other end. Okay, so I've added a basic sheep now with the same brush, I'm picking some pain screen and I'm missing that with brown. And I will add that along the bottom part, just a little along the bottom. I don't want to add a lot of taco toes. See that? Now let's continue in a similar manner on the other side. Just pick some pain screen on your brush and add that along the bottom to introduce some taco tones on the top that brown can stay at. See that I really wish if I have some more bright tetons for the sky, especially over here, the pink side. It is looking very dull right now, but never mind that how it has turned out. I cannot do anything right now. Anyways, Next we're going to add some dry patterns onto the ground. You can go with that mix of brown and paints gray the same color once you have taken the paint dabit on a paper towel to remove the excess amount of water. Now with that dry paint, just add some textures on the ground. Okay, so just be sure the paint is really dry, otherwise the patterns would be really prominent. We just need some dry patterns now add them in a random way onto the ground. There is no particular order or rule, or anything here. You can simply add some patterns on the top as well as at the bottom. I have taken some more paint, then I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Now, I'm repeating the same step. Okay. I'm adding them on the top and you can see they are quite messy and rough. It doesn't have any particular shape or size. I'm just adding them onto the background in a random way to introduce some text shoes. Now I'm adding a bit towards the bottom. Similarly, I need to add some textoes on the other side as well. Then we can go the bridge. Okay, simply add some patterns using the paint wherever you want to. Don't go overboard at any point. If you feel like there is enough patterns in your background, you can just stop it. You don't need to add anymore. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. I think I have added enough. I don't need to add anymore. Okay, so let's call it down and let's proceed with the bridge. For the bridge, I'm going to start with Brown. You can go with Brown or burn Sena. First, apply that color onto that platform. Go the similar tonal value, it doesn't need to be too light. Okay, now I'm simply filling up that entire area in this color. This one is permanent brown from art philosophy. It's a beautiful color. Burn sina will look a bit different from this, but that's totally fine. You can go with either burn sina or brown or burn timber. Okay, I'm filling up that entire area. Okay, so the base layer is done now with the same brush. I'm going to pick some paint scray. I'm going to add some random shapes and textures onto this wet background. See that it could be some line or some shapes or anything. We are trying to create a wooden texture here. Okay. Simply add some lines or anything onto that background. See that that's a platform. Now we can start with the wooden post, just like I did earlier. I'm starting with brown. I'm going to apply that onto the T vertical post. Then gradually, I will introduce some textures using paints. Gray. Pick the first one. You can start from the left or right. I'm starting with this one here, I'm adding that towards the bottom part. It's the same tonal value, you can simply fill that up, then we can introduce some textures later. Okay, if you're using brown or burn scena, go with a similar tuna value. Don't make it too light. Go with a medium tone to darker tone. Because we're painting an evening scene, the colors will be a little more compared to a day scene. Okay, I hope it is clear. Now, let's fill it up. That's the first one. Now we have three more to go. Okay. So I have applied brown onto those vertical post. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some paint, Scra. Okay. And I'm going to add some lines onto those wooden posts, just like I did for the platform. You can just add some simple lines onto that wooden posts. That's all. It doesn't need to be properly shaped or anything, say that. Simply add some lines and create some texture. Okay, that's done too. Now we have a few more verticals and two horizontal sections. Let's paint them quickly and then we can start introducing the snowy texture. I will just add a few more lines here, and that's it. Now I'm picking more brown paint and I'm going to fill up those horizontal sections. This one is actually a simple step, There is nothing complicated here. You can simply apply the paint onto all those platform and the wooden sections. Then at the end, once we add those noi textures, it will look a lot more beautiful right now. You don't need to put a lot of effort simply fill up all those sections. Right now I'm using a Taco toon of Crown. It's a mix of paints, Carey and Brown. Now I'm going to clean my brush for the remaining area. I'm going to go with a lighter tune. I'm just adding some orange with brown. The leftover paint from the sky. I'm adding that towards the bottom. See that on the top we have a Taco tune, and towards the bottom, I have made it a bit lighter. Similarly, I'm applying a taco tone on the top, on the other side. Now let's clean the brush. Let's go with a mix of orange and brown. We can apply that along the bottom. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. Now we have a few more vertical sections. Let's apply a Tacoton of Brown onto those ones as well. Oh, okay. I have applied a Daco Toon of Brown onto those small vertical sections, and that's how it has turned out. Next we're going to add the final details onto the bridge. And I'm starting with picking some paint screen with that color. I'm going to add some lines. It is just some divisions onto the platform. See that? Just add some horizontal lines if we can try to go for a similar spacing and simply add them on the background. Okay, so that part is done. Now it's time to go with the final task, which is adding some snow using white waterclar or white quash. Squeeze out some paint onto your palette. It could be guache or Acl. We need an opaque paint, so don't add a lot of water. Go with any of your medium size brush or a smaller brush before you start, make sure your brush is clean. I'm using a size number two brush and I'm picking some white paint. I'm just adding one or two drops of water, Not a lot. I need an opaque paint. Okay. Now I'm starting by adding the snow onto the wooden post. I mean, the vertical sections. We have four vertical sections here on top of it. I'm going to add a snow cover. Pick some white paint on any of your brush, just add a snow cap. See that it can be an irregular shaped one. It doesn't need to be properly shaped. Obviously, when the snow is accumulated, it wouldn't have a proper shape to make it look more realistic. Go with an irregular shape. Okay, so over here I have made it look like the snow is dripping down. Now for the other one, I'm just adding a simple cape that just go the white verticlar or white quash and simply add a snow cap onto these vertical sections. They all can be differently shaped. See that? Maybe we can add few more drops here. Okay, so that's the first part. Now we need to add snow onto the horizontal sections, as well as onto the bridge, I mean, the platform. Okay, now let's go with the horizontal sections. Pick more white paint on your brush and start by adding a horizontal line and irregularly shaped one. See that. You can see how beautiful it is looking. That's why I said earlier, even if the fence and the bridge is not really proper, it's totally fine. Once you add the snow, it will look really beautiful. You can see we simply added some taco brown to the anti brush. We added some lines using paint. That's all we have done. Now when we have added the snow, it is looking a lot more better. Okay, now I'm adding some snow onto this side. I'm starting by adding an irregular line. And I'm just adding some more white paint on the top to make it look like it is quite thick. Okay, Just add an irregular line first and simply fill the top part. See that? That's how it has turned out. Now we have the platform left. But maybe before that we could add some right textures as well. I'm picking my paper towel, I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel, then I'm adding some dry textures onto the surface. This is completely optional. Only if you want to add some more textures, you could do that. I think it is looking quite decent, otherwise feel free to skip this step if you feel it's not necessary. Now, I'm adding a few patterns on the other side as well. In a similar way with a dry paint, I'm adding some lines and some random shapes. That's it, those are the verticals. Now we can go with the platform for that. Again, I'm adding some dry textures in between. I will add some thicker patches, Asp. Okay, we just need some snow on the platform. You can add them however you want to. You can go for very little pattern or you can add a lot of snow. This is the most interesting part about this painting, otherwise it is quite boring. Adding the snow can make your painting look a lot better. Let's add some thicker snow. I have taken more paint and I'm adding a bigger shape here and few dots and some lines Asp, see that go. The combination of dry patterns and some bigger patches, this will make it look more beautiful and realistic. See that over here, I have added some bigger shapes. Now maybe we can add a few onto the top. We have only added those dry textures. Okay, that's how it has turned out. In a similar way, we could add some patterns towards the bottom assphle that we'll be done with our painting for the day. If you want to make it super snowy, maybe you can splatter some white paint *******. Just take another brush and tap on it and create some white plateaus in a very random way. Just like how you add the stars and it will make your painting look extra snowy. I'm not planning to splatter, but with the same rush, I will add some dots here and there. See that? Just add some dots and some random shapes, smaller ones in between. Like this. We could add them onto the vertical sections as well. Pick some white paint and add some onto the horizontal sections, as well as onto the vertical sections. Now before I call it done, I want to add some birds onto the sky. I'm picking some paints gray with the same brush, I'm going to add some teeny tiny birds. Okay? Again, this one is completely optional. Only if you want to add birds, you could do that. Otherwise you can just leave the way it is. I'm really happy with the painting, but then the only thing I'm not really happy with is the sky. I feel like it could have been a bit more intense. The colors are looking quite dull right now. When it tried earlier, it was really nice. That's something have to be careful about when you're using water colors. If you're looking for a brighter result, always use brighter colors in the first layer itself because the colors will considerably get faded when it dries up. Okay, that's something have to be careful about in a way. That's our painting for the now it's time to peel off the masking tape. All right, so here you go. Here is our snowy bridge for the day. I hope you all enjoyed it. It was a quick painting if you are to try to give it a try. Okay. So, thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next snowy landscape. 29. Day 26 - Snowy Road: Hello my dear friends. Welcome to day 26. Today we're going to try a simple pink sunset with some beautiful pine trees. It's a quick one and you can finish this painting in less than 20 minutes. All right? So let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The very first color you will need is a Patel pink. The one I'm going to use here is brilliant pink. If you have a Patel pink with, you can use it directly or you can simply add some white water color. With any of the red pink man you have caught it can be quinacrodon red, or crimson or pyal red, any red pigment. Simply add some white water color and you'll get a beautiful pasil pink. Okay, you can easily create one, don't worry if you don't have a Patel pink. Now let me swatch it out. Here is the color. It's a beautiful pink. See that is brilliant pink. This one is from Shinhan. Now the next color you will need is ultramarine blue. I'll be mixing that with pink to create that violet color. You see there the color I have used for the pine trees. Okay, Now I will mix these two colors together. I will show you the beautiful color you can create. See that it's a mix of pastel pink and ultramarine blue. And that's a result. Okay? If you add more blue, the color will look more violet. See that? That's the kind of color I'll be using for the pine trees, these ones here. Okay? So those are the first two colors, pastel pink and ultramarine blue. The next color you will need is paints gray. We will use that for the road and also to add some details. Okay, so that is paint screen. So those are the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need a pastel pink, ultramarine blue, and pinscrey. Okay. So keep them ready. Let's give it a try. My paper is ready here. First I'm going to add a sketch. We will need to add some very simple, basic lines to show the snowy ground and the road starting from here, and that's the left side. Now I'm going to add the road, which means I need to add another coval line from this point to the bottom. I'm making it nice and cov, give it a beautiful shape, Make it cov. Okay. That is the basic sketch. Now as your painting, we'll be adding some pine trees. You don't need to add them right now. Okay. That's a sketch. The very first color you will need is ultramarine blue. Take out some paint onto your palette. We are starting with the snowy ground. Now I'm applying a coat of water along the bottom part. Okay. Now I'm going to go with a smaller brush, this one size number six, I'm picking a little of ultramarine blue, a medium tone. Okay. Go with any of your medium size brush and pick some ultramarine blue on your brush. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Now let's simply add some lines and some shapes onto the wet background, onto the snowy part. We're going to leave the road as it is over there. We will introduce some paint. Scyterow're only concentrating on the snowy part. You can see the way how I'm adding the paint. I'm adding that along the bottom. At the top, I'm just pushing that paint and I'm creating some lines. Okay. Now, in a similar way, I'm going to add some lines on the other side as well. First, I'm running my brush along that covey line. I'm introducing some blue there. Next, I will pick some more paint. Then I will simply add some lines and some shapes. Okay. If it's too watery, always remember to dab a bric on a paper towel and that's it. That's a snoowy ground. It is just a matter of adding some blue paint onto that red background, leave some gaps in between, don't cover up the entire area. It looks like there's a lot of paint here. I'm just matching it. Okay. That's a base layer. Now, I'm going to leave this for trying. Okay, so let us right completely next we are going to paint the sky. For that, you will need some Patel pink. Along with that, we also need some ultramarine blue. I have both the colors ready on my palette. You will also need a little of paint scrape to add some deeper tones along the bottom. You will need palultramarine blue and paint scree for the next step. If you're mixing and creating your own Picel pink, keep it ready. Okay, now I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Apply a nice shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot. Run your brush back and forth multiple times and make sure it's an even coat. Okay, My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with a flat brush. I'm keeping this one aside, I'm switching to my flat brush. This one is a half inch flat brush. You can also go with a round brush, it doesn't matter. And I'm starting with pink. I'm picking a really bright one of pink. Now I'm applying that on the top of the sky. Okay, so that's my pink. It's a beautiful color to use for your pistol skies. I will apply a little more towards the bottom then I will gradually switch to violet. It's a mix of pink and blue. Okay, so it just mix these two colors together and create a violet of your choice. And apply that on the remaining area. And then just blend it. Your color might be a bit different according to the mix. That's totally fine. That little difference doesn't matter. Don't worry about those things a lot. Go with any purple or violet and apply that along the bottom. And then just blend them together. Maybe we can apply a bit on the top. Asphal. Okay, Next I'm going to pick some more ultramarine blue, and I'm adding that at the bottom. I want this area to be a bit more. I think it looks better. Now we have a nice pink on the top, then some brighter, wild at the bottom. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going to blend the colors a bit more. My brush is clean, I'm running that in a horizontal direction to make it a better plant. Okay, that's a base layer. Now I'm going to keep this brush aside. I'm going to go with a smaller brush to add the pine trees. This one is size number six. Now I'm picking that mix of ultramarine blue and pink, the same color we use for the sky, but this time I'm using a much more brighter tune. Okay, now with that, I'm adding some sheeps along the bottom. This one has more blue in it. It can be more bluish or more pinkish. That's tally Your choice. First, simply atom shapes and pull that into the sky. See that? Now let's pick that color again. This mix has more blue and less pink net. You can modify the color however you like. Now, with the same color, I'm going to add some taller pine trees. Earlier we had simply added some shapes at the bottom. Now we're going to add some pine tree shapes onto the top. It doesn't need to be perfectly shaped. The background is still wet. They won't stay the way you apply it. See that it will slightly spread into the background, which is totally fine. Now I'm going to add another one. Pick that mix of pink and blue on your brush. Now randomly add some pine trees onto the background. See that only on the top we need that shape. Towards the bottom, we can simply fill it up. I'm making this one a bit more taller. Start by adding a line, which is the tree trunk, then onto either side. Keep adding some random shapes to show the foliage. I've added two trees. I'm dropping in some more paint towards the bottom. Now, maybe we can add a few more trees to what's the left. Some shorter ones. I'm adding the next one over here. It's a very simple shape. Just give it a try, you're going to get it right. This one is not very well detailed. You just need to keep on adding some shapes onto either side of the tree trunk. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now, before it dries up, we need to introduce some taco tones. I'm picking some paint screen, I'm mixing that with blue. I'm going to add that color towards the bottom part, right over here, Drop in that taco tone. See that? Now, Simply spread it and smudge it. It doesn't need to be perfect, we only need some deeper tone at the bottom. See that? Just randomly smudge it into the background. You can add some shapes and lines or anything with that color. Now you can add it onto the tree as. See that? Don't add a lot, add them at a regular interval. See that I'm adding them onto the foliage, mostly onto the bottom side. That is giving it a nice shape. Okay, similarly, we can add a little onto the top. See that onto the bottom side, I'm adding some taco to. This will define the shape of the pine tree. See that? It's a simple trick. Give it a try. The only tricky part is that you will need to do this while the background is still wet. Maybe you will have to act faster. You can see the way how I'm adding those shapes and tuckertones. It doesn't need to be so much detailed. It is just a matter of adding those deepertones while the background is still wet. Now I'm adding some shapes here. I think that looks quite fine. Before I call it done, I will drop in some more. Tuckertonsi'm. Picking a little more paint screen and I'm adding that at the bottom. Only over here. I'm not going to add any onto the other side. Okay. So to make it look more ten san thick, I have added some more taco tones. I'm very happy with the way it has turned out. It really looks like those pine trees in the background with those taco tones. Okay, now let's leave it for trying. All right, so let us write completely next, we can start painting the road for that, I'm going to use pain scree. First, I will apply a medium tone onto the entire area. Then I will start dropping in some taco tone. Okay, let's apply a medium tone of pain scree onto the entire area. Use any of your medium sized and carefully apply that paint onto the road. When you're writing paint over here, be careful. We want this area to be narrow, give it a nice shape. Okay, the base layer is ready now with the same sh, I'm picking a taco tone of paint screen and I'm going to drop that onto this background in a very random way. At some places we have a taco tune, at some places we have a lighter tone. This will make it look more natural when you're applying the taco. Deliberately leave some caps in between. See that this will make it look like those road textures. Now I'm adding some taco tunes in the background just a little bit. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. If you want to add in some more Ta cartoons or if you want to modify the sheep, you could do that. Right now, I'm just fixing the sheep a little over here. And that's it, that's my road. I'm very happy with. The weight has turned out now we could lay this for trying. Okay, that is right. Completely Now, the only task left is to add some final details. I'm going to start by adding some textures onto the snowy ground. The color I'm going to go with as Tico, I actually don't have any Intico here. I'm just mixing some blue with paints created to create a taco blue. Okay, that's the color I'm using. If you have indigo on your palette or if you want to squeeze out a little, you could do that. Now. First I'm going to add a thicker line along the snowy ground just to show the thickness, go the similar tonal value. Now let's add that over here. It's just a simple decline. That's it, that's a footstep. Now I'm going to dab my brush on a paper towel and I'm going to add some try patterns onto the snowy ground. It's a medium tone. The color is similar to Intico. It's a mix of ultramarine blue and a bit of paints gray. I don't want to take out a new color, so I thought of mixing and creating this color. We just need a darko blue. That's all you can choose, to squeeze out some Intco or you can mix and create a similar color like this. Okay? Adding the tri patterns mostly at the bottom, then you can add a few onto the top. Aspho, actually you can add these patterns wherever you want to. But keep in mind not to make it look too busy. Also, be careful about the tunel value, the color I'm using here. It's a medium tone, it's not too dark. Okay, that's how I have added the tri patterns. Next I'm going to pick some white waclar. This brush is size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush and pick some white waclar or white quash. Okay. Now with this brush, I'm going to add some tree trunk, that's going to be some thin lines. See that that's the thickness I'm going with. I'm adding that as a broken line. I'm trying to make it look like at some places the foliage is covering those tree trunk. Okay. Add that as a broken line or a continuous line if you prefer that. But try to go the smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip, go with a similar thickness, don't make it too thick. Okay, now I'm adding a few more lines, shorter ones, to make it look more interesting. Now onto these, let's add some branches as well. This brush I'm using here has a really nice pointed tip. These lines are very easy with it. You can also use a white gel pen if you don't have a smaller brush. Okay, I've added some random branches, that's how it has turned out. Don't add a lot. And also try to go with a similar thickness, don't make it too prominent. Okay. Now with the same brush, I'm going to fix this line here, so I'm just extending that snowy ground. See that quick fix? Right? If you feel that shape is not proper, you can go with some white verticlar or white quash and fix it, and you can give it a nice cov shape. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Next I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to switch to some paints, gray. Pick some paint on your brush. I'm going to add some highlights onto these lines, the same ones I added earlier. It doesn't need to be a continuous line added as broken line. Just the same way how you added that white line. Okay? You don't need them everywhere. You can skip some branches or some part of the tree trunk. This is just a high light. Okay? You can see the difference it made compared to the other ones. It looks a bit more realistic. Just add a simple high light as a super thin line. Don't make it too prominent. Okay, that's nearly done. We have a few more shorter ones here. Now there's one more left. All right, so that's it. That's how it has turned out. Now there is one last task for which I'm going to dab my brush on a paper towel. There's already some paint scray on it now. But that dry paint, I'm adding some more texture in a very random way. I'm not going to add a lot, we already have some texture there, so I'm just going to add some in between. See that it is still not too prominent. Go in a similar way, you can tap a brush on a paper towel multiple times until you're sure the paint is really dry. Okay, now let's add a few on the other side as full. Okay, so that is it. I'm done adding the textures. That was the last task. With that, we are done with our pink sunset. Okay, now it's time to remove the masking tape. Here's our beautiful pink sunset for the day. I loved the color palette. And those pine trees, I think it turned out really beautiful. We added them on a wet background and you can see how beautiful they are looking. Give it a try for here to try it, and let me know if you liked it. Oh. 30. Day 27 - Red Cabin: Hello, my Lovelies, welcome to 827. Today we're going to paint a bright red cabin in the woods. It's a simple yet an interesting painting. I'm sure you guys are going to love it as usual. Let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The major color you will need for this painting is paints gray. We'll use a lighter tone for the snowy ground. Then for the background aspher, we'll use a taco tone. You can see for the sky, it's a lighter tone. And towards the bottom, I have made it a bit to. The second color you will need is red. This one is spiral red. Just the color I will be using for the cabin. I did a trial for this painting and for that I used turquoise blue for the cabin. So feel free to go with any color of your choice. For the cabin, it could be orange or yellow, or brown or blue or any color. Okay, so the very first color you will need is paints gray. This one is paint screen from Rembrand. Okay, so that's the first color. Now secondly, as I mentioned earlier, you will need any red or any other color of your choice. This one is Syal Red. If you don't have red, you can go with crimson or carmine or any other color. Even scarlet will work next. You will also need some white water color. We will need to add some details and we need to spply to some snow. Okay. That summarize all the colors you will need. You will need paint, scra, red and white. Okay. Now let's give it a try. Let's start by adding the sketch. First, you will need to add a line, an irregular line to separate the sky and the ground. Okay, now we need to add the cabin. All right, at the center. First you have to start with the triangular shape. A simple triangle. Go with any size that you prefer. It could be a bit more smaller. Okay, that's the size I'm going with. Next, I'm going to add the roof. Now from here, add a line and incline to one. Okay. That's a basic shape. Now we can add another line to show the thickness of the roof. I'm adding the first line here. Similarly on the other side, Asper. Okay, Next we need to add the windows and the doors. I'm adding a reference line from the center. Okay, Next I'm going to add a window here, a rectangular shape. Now right below that, somewhere over here, I'm going to add a door and a similar window. See that? Let's add a similar window at the center. Now to the left, I'm adding a door to the right. I will add a smaller window over here. Okay, that's our cabin. We can add the window divisions at the center. Okay, that's the sketch. Maybe for the door as well. You can add a line over there. All right, so the sketch is ready. Now we can start painting. We also have some trees in the background which you don't need to add right now. I'll be adding one tree over here, then a few more in the background. I'm just showing you how the painting is composed. You don't need to add the sketch right now. We can do that. As you paint, it's going to be some simple trees. You can add them wherever you want to. Okay, the sketch is now we can start painting. Now the very first color you will need is paint screen. We will start with the snowy ground. Okay, take out some paint screen onto your palette. Then apply a code of water on the ground. Just a nice general coat of water. Don't add a lot. Okay, So that is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my smaller brush. This one is size number six. Now I'm picking a medium tone of paints, gray. If it's too water, you can tap it on a paper towel before you start. Okay. Now with that paint, I'm going to add some lines at the bottom, towards the top, just some simple random lines from the bottom. I'm just dragging my brush toward the top and you can see over the bottom I have some medium tunes and towards the top, I haven't added much paint. If you want to add more paint, you could do that only at the bottom. Towards the top, Try to leave your paper white as it is. I'm nearly done with the snowy ground. Maybe I will add one or two lines over here. It feels empty. Okay. That's done now. Let's leave it for drying. All right, so let us try now. Our next task is to bring the background for that asphle. I'm going to use pin screen first, I will start by applying coat of water. Don't add any water onto the cabin. When you're closer to the cabin, be a little careful, apply water along that outline. Okay. The background is evenly wet. Now, you can go with your flat brush or brush, any brush that you prefer. I'm going to use a flat brush. I'm starting off with a medium tone of paints, gray towards the bottom. I will make the color a bit darker. That's a tonal value I'm going with. Now as I come towards the bottom, I'm going to add more paint and I will make it a bit darker. See that? Keep on making your color a bit more darker compared to the color you have used on the top. I'm picking more paint, adding that towards the left side. Okay. Now let's carefully apply that along the roof line. Don't add any paint onto the roof. Okay, so the color is darker than the color we have used on the top. Similarly, we need to fill up the other side asper. It doesn't need to be a perfect clean blend. That's totally fine. Just add the paint however you can. You can also use a round brush if that is what you prefer. Okay, now I'm filling the other side asper, I'm picking more paint, a darker tone, and I'm adding that onto the remaining area. Okay. So carefully fill that in. All right. So that's a background, we have a lighter tone on the top, and we have made the color a bit more darker towards the bottom. Now I have made it a clean blend. Okay, now I'm going to keep this brush aside and I'm switching to a smaller one around this on a size number six, I'm picking a much more darker tone of pain screen then I'm just adding some shapes next to the cabin. This is to show there are some plants or trees in the background, some blurry ones. Right. When your background is still wet, just keep adding some sheeps, Some of them can be a bit more taller just to make it look like those trees are taller. Okay? They can be just some random shapes. It doesn't need to be perfectly shaped. See that? At some places make them shorter and at some places make them higher to give it a more realistic touch. Right now, the trees we're painting, they are the ones in the background. We'll be adding another set of trees in the foreground when everything has dried up. For now, you just need to add some blurry trees. I'm just extending some of them to give it a more interesting look. Okay, that's it, that's the background trees. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry. Okay. So that is right, completely. Next we are going to paint the cabin. And for that I'm going to use some Pyal red. As I mentioned earlier, you can go with any color of your choice. You can go with cabal green or Churquoise, blue or orange, any other color of your choice. Okay, I'm going to go with red. I'm using an intense stone of red. I'm going to apply that onto the entire cabin. I will leave out the doors and windows onto the remaining area. I'm going to apply this red. You can also use brown, or vermlion, or scarlet, or even crimson. Okay. First, apply that color, Whichever color you have chosen onto the entire wall. Leave out the doors and windows. Carefully apply the paint onto that entire section. The brush I'm using here is size number six. Go with any of your medium size brush and apply the paint carefully. Don't add any paint onto the windows. It's a really bright and intense of red. I wanted to create a contrast because for the rest of the painting, we are only using paints to create that contrast. I thought it's good to go with a brighter tone like red. Even orange will be really nice. I will quickly finish adding paint onto this entire wall, then using a Taco tone. I'm going to add some deeper tones to give it a more realistic feel. Right now, it is just a solid wash. Okay. At the bottom, I have added an irregular line and I'm filling that area. The site is done now. We have a small section left. On the left side, I'm filling that asphalt. Okay. That's a base layer. Now onto this background. While it is a little wet, we need to introduce the deeper tones for that. I'm taking a little of paint screen and I'm mixing that with red to create a darker tone. I'm going to add that along this line, which is the area right underneath the roof over here. There will be some shadows and deeper tones. Okay. Just add a little of paint along that roof line now. You can smudge that a little from the top. I'm smudging it towards the bottom. I'm just pushing it down. Okay. This is to create some texture on the wall. It can be a bit rough and messy. It doesn't need to be perfect. Simply keep on adding some paint from the top towards the bottom. I'm making it a bit more taco along the roof line, then I'm again spreading that towards the bottom, which would be the color you're using for the wall. You have to go with a Dako tone of that color to add these texture. Suppose if it's blue, you have to go with a Dako blue. If it's orange or brown, you have to go with the Taco orange and a Dako brown. Okay, I'm going to add some more lines. I'm adding a little around the window. I don't want it to be too bright. I'm just adding a few lines to create that texture and also to give it a realistic touch. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now I'm going to pick a little more paint, the same paint, a darker tone of red. I will add that along the roof line a bit more. Also along the windows and doors. Let me add a few more lines. Now, I'm adding that around the window on the left side and also at the bottom. Same goes for this one. Now the tiny one here, we have a door. Add a thick line on the left and also along the bottom. And that's it now. Meanwhile this dries. We can actually start with the windows, we're going to leave an outline and we're going to fill the inner side and a grey color. Clean your brush and go with a medium tone of paints, gray. It's more like a grey color. Don't make it too dark. Okay, Now let's apply that color onto the windows, leaving a tiny outline. Okay, I'm leaving an outline and then I'm adding a small rectangle or a square. That's the first one now, again leaving a cap, and I'm adding the second square. Okay, Now in a similar way, I'm going to add windows for the bottom naspo. Use a smaller brush or any brush with a pointed tip so that he can leave that outline properly. Okay, now I have one more here. Then we have a small window on the right side and also the door on the left. Okay. I have added a medium tone of gray onto those windows. Now with the same brush, I'm picking a slightly darker tone and I'm adding that tiny drop on the top side. See that we have a gray color on the entire background and a tiny bit of darker tone on the top side. Now with the same color, I'm filling the other window. This one is super tiny. Now we have the door left for the door. I'm adding only on the top. I'm going to leave the bottom part. Act is now again leave an outline and fill up the center. The color I have right now is a darker tone. I'm adding the outline with that color. Now I'll clean my brush with a slightly watery brush. I'm just making the inner side lighter. Okay. You can either start with gray and then add some taco tone on the top lito. Or you can just start by adding an outline using a taco tone. Then go the water brush and make the color lito inside. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Next I'm going to start adding the trees. For that, I'm going to go with the taco tone of paint gray. You can add as many trees as you want. You can add them wherever you want to. I'm adding the first one on the right side over here. Okay, that's a thickness. Now I'm going to add the tree trunk. You can add your tree however you want to. It can be a straight tree or it can be leaning towards the right or left. And then you can add the branches also, however you want. Okay. So that's my first tree. Now I'm going to make it a bit more thicker, it isn't thick on the top. Okay. That's a tree trunk. Now, I'm going to add some branches onto this. In a similar way, I will add a few more trees, maybe one more on the right. And I'm the one on the left. Go with any size and any shape you prefer. By shape, I mean it can be leaning or it can be straight. Okay, that's a thickness. Now, I'm going to add the branches. The more branches you're adding, the more beautiful your painting will be. It will also be more time consuming. Decide on how many trees you want and add them wherever you want to. I'm adding the first branch over here. Then maybe later I will switch to a smaller brush and I will add the remaining branches. For now, I will concentrate on the tree trunk and the major branches. Once we're done adding the trees onto these, we will also add some snow. It is again, going to be a bit more time consuming, but as I said, Elio, the trees will make your painting extra beautiful. Don't skip it. Anyways, I'm going to add a few more trees using this brush. Then later I will switch to a smaller brush to add the remaining branches. All right, so all the trees are in place now I'm going to go the smaller brush. To add the remaining branches, we need to add plenty of branches and that's how you make it more beautiful. Go with any of your smaller brush. The one I'm using here is size number two. It has got a really nice pointed tip. I can add those cris pan thin lines. Okay, let's go ahead and add those branches. These steps, you can add them in your own way. I mean, adding the trees and adding the branches, they can be done purely according to your instinct. You don't need to follow every branch. You can add them however you want to. You can add more or add less. That's totally up to you. Okay, so let's quickly add in as many branches as we can. Just keep in mind more the branches. Your painting is going to look more interesting. Oh, oh, I'm done with the right side. It is looking really beautiful. Now, in a similar way, I need to add more branches on the other side as well. On the left we have shorter rays. It isn't as big as the right side. This can be done quickly. I'm randomly adding some more branches. You see my smaller brush, you can see they are very thin and delicate. Add them in a similar way. Don't make it too prominent. Go with any of your smaller brush, or a detailing brush, or a miniature brush, or any brush that you're comfortable with, and add in those teeny tiny branches. I have added plenty of branches, and that's how it has turned out, really beautiful. Right next, with the same brush, I'm going to add some snow onto these trees and branches. Clean your brush and squeeze out some white verticlar or white guache onto your palette. I'm going to use white verticlar, but you can go with guache If you prefer a little more opaque result. For this tpassiple, you will have to use a smaller brush. This one is size number two. Or you can go with a white chelpen even that will work. Now our task is to add a thin, high light onto all these branches. It is really important to go with a smaller brush. You can see the thickness, it is too thin. Add them in a similar way, it doesn't need to be too bold and prominent. Okay. So go with any of your smaller brush or a white chelpen and add some highlights onto these branches. It doesn't need to be a continuous line. At some places you can break that, that white texture will be mostly visible towards the bottom. On the top, we have a lighter tone, it won't be that prominent, but still add it. Add it anyway. Okay, that's a first tree. I have added that line onto all the branches. Now let's go with the other one. The bigger one, the soon is actually a simple task. It is not complicated, it is very straightforward. But then according to the number of trees and branches you have, it might take a bit of time. That's the only thing here. Okay, so that's the first branch of the tree. Now I'm going to go ahead with the remaining branches. There is a lot here. Maybe we can add some textures onto the tree trunk. This one has a thicker tree trunk compared to the other trees. I'm adding a white line on the left side in a broken way. It is not a continuous line, it's more like a dry line. In a similar way, I'm adding a dry line over here and also onto the branches. Okay. Don't make the snow too prominent. Go the dry paint and add the line in a broken way. Also be sure the thickness. It has to be really thin. Don't make it too bold. It's a quick task. But then, as I said earlier, if you have a lot of branches, it might take a while. But if you want to take a break, go ahead. There is no problem. Come back and finish it off. Whenever you feel like the side is almost done. Now I need to add snow onto the other side. We have two trees on the left. Let's go ahead with that. Oh, okay. So that's done. We have the snowy trees in place. Next I'm going to fix the door and also the roof because I have some white paint on my brush. We can finish this off and then we can go with the final details. Okay, so I'm going to take some more white paint and I'm going to clean up the shape, wherever it is, a little off on the top. I need to fix the shape. I'm just fixing that. Okay, Now this side looks fine, but I'm still adding the paint, now I'm going to fix the other side over here. The shape is not perfect. Okay, so the roof is fixed. We have given it a proper shape. Now I'm going to add some details like the snow is dropping from the roof to make it look more interesting. All you have to do is in between, you can add just some random shapes like this. Okay? At some places it can be a linear shape which is dripping down. Let's add something like that over here. See that in between, you can add such shapes. You don't need to add a lot. Just one or two or three. Don't add a lot of it. Okay, maybe we can add one more. This detail is not really necessary, but then it will make your painting look extra snowy. If you want to go for that extra snow look, you can add this detail, otherwise you can totally skip this. Okay, that's done. Now we need to paint the other side of the roof. For that, we will need to go with a medium tone of paint scray. I'm cleaning my brush, I'm picking some paint, medium to lighter tone. First, I'm going to apply a lighter tone of paints, gray almost onto the tir area. Then I will go with a medium tone and I will add some lines. Okay. That's the tonal value I'm going with. Don't make it too dark. Okay. Now I'm picking some water and I'm making the remaining area lighter. I just want to create some shadows and some tones on the roof. I don't want to leave it empty. Okay. That's a base layer. Now, with the same brush, I'm picking some more paint, a slightly darker tune, not too dark. Now with that paint, I'm just adding some thicker lines onto the roof. See that? Just add one or two thicker lines to introduce the shadows. Don't use a really lighter tune because when it dries it won't be visible at all. Go with a slightly take darker, I mean, just one tune darker than the color you have used in the background too dark. Okay. Now I'm going to add one more line over here. It's a very thick line or you can call it a shape. It's not really a line. Okay? That's how it has turned out. If you feel like it's too much, go with the red brush and smudge it. I feel like we could have added some more trees to make it look really tense and thick, but no worries. I'm happy with the way it is turning out. That is a roof. We are done with the cabin and the entire background. Now we only have one task left. What is splattering some white snow on to the entire painting? This one is also completely optional. Only if you want to add some more snow, you could do that. I'm picking some white paint on my brush, then using another brush, I'm going to tap on this brush to create some plateau. Pick paint on one brush, preferably a smaller one, then tap on it with another brush and create these plates. You can splatter as much snow as you want. It's totally up to you. If you don't want to add the step even that is fine, you can skip it. Okay. So here we are. With that, we're done with our painting for the D. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Always peel off the masking tape at an ankle and be sure your painting has tried completely before you peel it off. Okay. That's our red cabin in the woods. I hope you all liked it. It's a simple painting, but because of those details, it might take a bit of a time, but give it a try if I get to try it, either worth red or a different color for the cabin. 31. Day 28 - Moody Day: Hello my lovely friends. Welcome today, 28. Today we're going to try a quick, moody winter landscape. The process is very simple and satisfying, and also it is a really quick one. Okay, so let's start by looking at the colors you will need for this painting. You will only need two colors, which is Indico and Pain Scra. This is the indico I'm using. It is from art philosophy. Here's the paint screen. This one is from a brand called Remprant. Okay? So those are the only two colors you will need for this entire painting. Go with any indico and pinscreen, have cat, it doesn't need to be from the same brand, this indigo, from art philosophy. It's more like a bluish indico. Depending on the brand, the color can be slightly different and that's totally fine. Just ignore that slight difference. Okay, that is indico. We will be using indico mostly for the background and for the rest of the elements, the tree and those rocks. We'll be using paints gray. Okay. That is our next color. Now just in case, if you want to go for a monochrome painting, you can skip using Indico for the background Asphal. You can use paint Scraykay. There is one thing you can do if you want to turn that into a monocrome painting. Okay, That summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. Indico and paint scray. Okay, so keep the colors ready on your palette and let's give it a try. All right, so I have my paper and the colors ready here. You will need indico and paints gray. Okay, so keep them ready on your palette before you start. Now the very first step is to add a line. This is just a reference line for us to understand where the sky is ending. Go with a very light pencil sketch. Okay, so that's our horizon line. Now I'm going to start by applying a coat of water onto the entire top part. Apply a general coat of water onto the entire sky. Don't add a lot, we only need a shiny coat of water. Okay, the sky is evenly wet. Now, I'm going to go with my smaller brush. You can go the flat brush or a round brush to apply the paint onto the sky. It doesn't matter. We're going to go for a gradient wash on the top. It will be lighter towards the horizon. We're going to make the color a bit darker. Okay. So go with any of your medium size brush or any brush you prefer, then go with a medium tone of Intc starting from the bottom, then I will go towards the top. Okay. So that's the color I'm using. It looks like my paper has almost dried up anyway, let me apply the paint quickly. It's a medium tone. Now, as we go towards the top, we can make the color a bit more lighter if you prefer. Starting from the top, that's totally fine. Start with a lighter tone, then make it darker as you come down. Okay. Initially I thought of adding some clouds like this, leaving some space in between. Then I decided just to fill it up. Okay. On the top, we need a lighter tone, and then towards the bottom, we have to make the color a bit more darker. Now, I'm taking some clean water and I'm making it lighter towards the top. Okay, that's a base layer. Now let's make it a clean blend. All right, that's a base layer. Now if you want to add some more paint, you can do that. Maybe some lines or something to make it more interesting. All right, so that's a sky. Now we need to quickly add the landscape while the base layer is still wet. Okay, for that, I'm using the same brush and I'm going to go with a mix of Indico and a bit of pain screen. I want the color to be a bit more dark and rich. Let's take out some Indico. Let's mix that with a bit of pain screen. Okay, now with this color, I'm going to add a number of shapes along the horizon. You can see the color. If you want to go for a darker tone of indico itself, you could do that. You don't need to add pain screen. I want the color to be a bit more darker compared to the sky. That's why I'm going with a mix of Indico and Pinscreen. Okay. So while the background is still wet, add in some random shapes like this along the horizon using the tip of your brush, you can add in some tree shapes. See that? Simply add in some pop ups in between to make it look like there are some trees. Now, I'm going to go with one of my clean brush. Okay? This one is size number eight. Now with that clean water, I'm making the cereal lighter, so I want to create a blurry line along the horizon. If there's a lot of water on your brush, dab it on a paper towel, and make this line blurry. See that? You have to be very quick. You need to do this before the background dries up. Okay. On the top we have some tree like shapes and towards the bottom we have made it blurry. Repeat this step until you're happy with the result. Also go the brush which is not watery. Dab it on a paper towel. I'm thinking of adding some more trees. I'm switching back to my size number six brush, the one I used earlier. I'm mixing some paint screen and Tic together. I'm adding some more shapes only on the top. I'm not going to touch the bottom, only along the top part. I'm adding some tree like shapes only over here. This one is completely optional if your background is starting to dry or if you have already added enough of trees there, you don't need to do this. You can skip this step and you can leave it for drying. Okay, let us try completely. Next, we have to go with a real light tone of Indico. We need to add a water body in between more like puddles, not a big river or a lake or anything. Go with a lighter tone of Indico, A really lighter tone. First I'm going to add a shape over here. See that go the similar tonal value, or you can make it a bit more lighter. I'm going to modify the shape a little. I'm just spreading that out. We want these shapes to be more linear. Okay? Now, the same tonal value. I'm going to add another one right behind this, which is much more narrow. Okay? So those are the two puddles. Now, I'm going to add some more water to the same paint. With that lighter tone, I will add some more lines towards the bottom to make it look like a snowy ground. Okay. Go the really light toe off indico and add in a few more lines like this onto that dry background. Okay? So just a few random lines are all we need. This is mainly to show the texture on the ground. Just adding a few lines here and there using a lighter tone. If you want to modify the shape of your puddle, you could do that right now. Okay. So as I said earlier, we want more of a linear shape. That is what makes it more beautiful. Okay. So that's where we have reached now. Again, I'm going to add in some more water. Okay, That's a really light tone of Intico. I'm going to add that towards the bottom again in a very random way. See that? Only towards the bottom part. I'm adding a lighter tone of Intco just to make it look like there's some snowy texture and shadows. Okay. If you want to add some more lines, you could do that. This is just the best layer. We'll be adding more text shows and details at the end or when this layer has tried. For now we just need some texts and some puddles. That's all go with a similar tonal value. Don't make it too dark. I'm adding a few more lines here. With that, I'm calling it done. All right. Now let's leave it for drying, let us write completely. Now our next step is to add some texture for that. I'm picking a bit of paints gray. And then by bush on a paper towel, we need some try paint. Okay, pick some paints, gray or black. If you don't have paints gray. Now add some simple textures on the ground. They don't need to be too prominent. You can see the way how I'm adding them. They're super tiny and I'm adding them in a scattered way. Okay, go in a similar manner and add a few patterns here and there. Be sure not to make it too prominent. Once you've taken the paint on your brush and dab it on a paper towel before you start, simply add some dry textures onto the background. The color I'm using right now to add those textures is more like a medium tone. It's not a very dark tone of paints, gray. You can actually go the similar tonal value so that the patterns won't be too prominent. You can see those patterns, they are not too prominent. Add them in a similar way, maybe in between. You can use a taco tone and add few more patterns. Okay, I'm picking some more paint. This one is a much more taco tone and I'm adding some tiny, tiny patterns in between. Okay. There is no particular order or anything for this. You can add them wherever you want to, but don't add a lot and make your painting look too busy. Add a little here and there. That's all we need. I think I have added enough. I really love the weight is progressing. That moody feel is very prominent. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now the next task is to add a tree. I'm going to add the tree onto the right side, and I'm starting off with the medium tone of paint scray. Again, I will add the tree trunk using a metiume. Then to add the remaining details and branches, I will go with the taker. Okay. I'm going to add that over here. It's going to be a thicker tree. You can place it wherever you want to if you prefer adding that onto the left, that is totally fine. I'm not showing the entire tree, I'm only showing this much. You can go with any shape you prefer and it can add it wherever you want to go with the thicker tree. Okay, that's a basic shape. Now I'm going to add a branch using the same tonal value as I mentioned earlier. You can compose your painting however you want to. You can add one or two tree, and you can add as many branches as you want. I'm going to add that over here. This one is a thicker branch. Later I'll be adding some tiny branches, thin branches. Okay. That's a major tree trunk and a big branch. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we add the final details. Okay, so that is right Now, let's start adding some texture onto the tree. For that, I'm going to go with a smaller brush and I'm picking paints. Great. Again, the brush is really important here. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. This one is size number two, okay? Now using this brush, I'm going to add some lines onto the tree. The lines are simple, messy lines. You can give it a watch. See that? Simply add lines. They can be irregular line, they don't need to have any particular shape or size. Okay? Try to make them as thin as possible and just keep on adding some irregular line onto the tree. Some of them can be long, some of them can be short. It doesn't matter. Just keep on adding some random lines onto the tree and fill the entire tree. This will create a nice texture, see that you can see the way, how it is looking on the top. I'm almost done with the top and you can see the way it has turned out. Now similarly, let's add some random lines towards the bottom as well. See that they are super random, messy lines. Keep adding them and fill up the entire tree. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now in between, I'm going to make some of the lines more thicker. See that? Just add some more thicker lines in between. Just a few. Okay, this will leave a beautiful texture. I'm adding a few on the top, asphle. All right. So that's a tree trunk. Now we have the branch onto that asphalt. I'm just adding a few lines, just some random lines to give it some texture. Okay, that's our tree. Now we need to start adding the branches. You can add as many branches as you want. Try to go the smaller brush, don't make it too big and prominent. With the same brush, I'm going to add plenty of branches onto the tree. You can add them wherever you want to. You don't need to follow the same way and the same location. Just go with your intuition and add them however you want to. If you only want to add one or two branch. And that is fine. If you want to make it two tense, you can add so many branches. Okay? The more the branches, your painting will look more beautiful and more interesting. I would recommend adding lots of branches. Because the painting is empty, we don't have a lot of elements. The major element is a tree. The more branches, the more beautiful your painting will be. Okay? On the right, I don't have a lot of space, so I'm switching to the left and I'm going to add some branches on the side. You can add them wherever you want to and however you want to. Okay. So that's the first one. Now onto that I'm going to add some tiny branches. Then I will add a few more. Okay, so let's do this. The right side is well composed, you can see all those branches. Similarly, we need to add more and more branches onto the left as go the smaller brush to get that delicate and thin lines. The one I'm using here is size number two. You can go the liner brush or a smaller brush or any detailing brush. Okay, now onto that branch, I'm going to add some teeny tiny branches to make it look more interesting. Okay. So that's what it is looking right now. I have added a lot of branches and you can see how beautiful the tree has turned out with all those branches. If you want to add it more, you could do that. Okay. I feel like I have added enough. Maybe I will add few tiny branches in between. I'm not going to add any beco branches. I will just add those thin and delicate ones. Actually, our painting is empty. We don't have a lot of elements. We only have one full ground element which is the tree. Okay, adding more branches will make it look more interesting. Even though it takes some time. Wherever you feel there is a lot of gaps in between onto those spaces, you can add some tiny branches. I'm adding a few in between. I will add one or two onto the top. I think with that I will call it done. It's in a good shape. I don't want to make it too busy. All right, so that's how it has turned out. Now there's one more task we have to do before we wrap it up. We're just adding some rocks on the ground for that asphalt. I'm using paint screen, a taco tone. I'm starting by adding some rough shapes. Give it a watch before you try. See that what I added right now is the bottom part of the rock. Now to at the top, I'm just adding some right texture. While I'm adding them, I'm leaving some gaps in between. See that? I'm not covering that entirely. There's some teeny tiny caps in between that will look like the snow on the rocks. Let's try the high. Can I'm adding the next one over here? I'm starting from the bottom, then onto the top, I'm adding some dry textures that ones a little more smaller. Let's try another one. Here go, the dry paint. Don't add a lot of water while you're adding the rock, leave some gaps in between. See that. It's a quick task. If you want to try it on a scrap piece of paper, give it a try and then add that on your painting. When you're adding the rocks, try to add them in different shapes and sizes. Don't make them all look the same over here. I'm adding a smaller one. I'm not leaving any caps for the smaller one. You can't simply add a shape, you don't need to leave any cap. It is super tiny. Okay. Go to the combination of bigger rocks and smaller rocks that will make your painting look more natural. I'm adding another one over here. See that? Yeah. Go with all shapes and sizes and add them wherever you want to. I'm adding a smaller one right now. Okay. Does that combination which makes your painting look more interesting, don't add them in a similar way. Now I'm going to add some teeny tiny rocks or maybe just tones. See the size just with the tip of your brush. Add some tiny shapes onto the ground, okay? Add them in a scattered way. The fokground elements in this painting is these rocks and the tree. That's the reason why we have used a darker tune for those two elements. For the rest, we have used lighter and medium tunes and that's how we have created that depth in this painting. Okay, I will add a few more rocks and with that I'm calling it ten. Okay? So that's our moody landscape for the day. Now, it's time to peel out the masking tape. Okay, so with that, we're done for the day. Here's our moody winter landscape. I hope you all enjoy the process. It was a quick on. The background is a blurry background. Then we have added some elements to that to make it look more interesting. So we're here to try to give it a try and let me know if you liked it. Oh. 32. Day 29 - Dreamy Evening: Hello, loves. Welcome to Day 29, which means we are just one day away from wrapping up this winter articular challenge. Here's the painting that we're going to do today. It's a beautiful sunset as usual. Let's start by looking at the colors we will need for the sky. I'm going to use four colors. You can see some blue on the top. That is into, it's a lighter tone of indico. Then we will need some pink. Then towards the bottom, I'll also be using some red and yellow. Okay. So those are the four colors you will need for the sky. Instead of indico, you can use any other blue. It doesn't need to be indico, we just need a lighter tone of blue. It could be Prussian blue or any other blue. Then the pink is brilliant pink, it's a Patel pink. If you don't have a Patel pink, you can and create your own by adding some white at color worth any of the red color you have got. Okay. The very first color is Indico. The Indico I'm using here is from art philosophy. Now the second color is a Patel pink. This one is brilliant pink from Shinhan. Go with any kind of pinkibct or you can even use a lighter tool of crimson or carmine. That's the second color. The next two colors I'm going to use is spiral red and cadmium yellow. Go with any red and yellow instead of red, you can also use vermalion or scarlet. Okay, so the third color is red. This one is very bright and bold red. I love this color. It's a good color for sunsets. You can see how bold it is. Now, the last color is yellow. This one is cadmium yellow. Go with any yellow you have card, it doesn't matter, we only need a little. Those are the four colors you will need for the sky indico, pink, red and yellow. Now there's one more color you will need for this painting, which is paint screen. We'll be using paint Screye for the road, also for the trees, also for some other details. Now there's one more color you will need, which I will mix and create for these houses. I will mix the red with paint screye. To create a brown, you don't need to mix and create brown. You can just use it directly. Okay, That summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Keep them ready on your palette and let's give it a try. Okay, so let's start with the sketch. The very first thing you have to add is an inclined line to show the road and also to separate the ground. Okay, Add a similar line. Then we need to add another horizontal line. The top part is going to be the sky. Then the next section is going to be the snowy ground. Over the bottom we have the road. Now over here I'm going to add two tiny houses, go the similar size. If it's too big, it will go out of proportion. Also, if you make it smaller, it will create a sense of distance in your painting. Okay, That's the size you have to go with. They're super tiny. If you want to add few more houses, it's totally fine. You can add them onto the left or wherever you want to. Okay, so that's a sketch. Now, Asp Painting, we'll be adding some trees. We will just place them randomly. One can be over here, then another can be here. Okay? Maybe one more here. These ones you don't need to add right now, we can add them. Asp Painting. I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready. We need some indigo, then some pink, red, and yellow. Okay, so keep all the colors ready before you start. And once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the sky. Try to leave out the cabin. Don't add any water onto that. Okay? So go with any of your clean white brush and apply a gentle coat of water onto the entire sky. Okay, so my sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. To apply the paint onto the sky, I'm going to go with my size number eight brush. Go with any of your brush, a medium size one, I'm starting off with a medium tone of Tic. I will apply this on the top of the sky, then gradually I will switch to pink. Okay, go the medium tone or a lighter tone, don't make it too dark and apply that on the top part of the sky. That's the tonal value I'm using. It is a bit light. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going with pink. Now I will apply that Basel pink and I will blend that with blue. Okay, I'm going to pick some more pink after cleaning my brush, and then I will add a little more towards the bottom. There is still some blue on my brush. Okay, let's pick a little more. All right, so that is blue and pink. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some yellow. I'm going to add that over here, right next to those houses. Just add some simple lines onto the wet background. Now with the same brush, pick some red and it can add a tiny bit of yellow with it to turn that into an orangish color. Okay, now let's add that onto the remaining area while retaining some of the yellow. Don't fill up the entire yellow. If there's a lot of paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel. Okay. You can see how beautiful that blend is looking right now. Now we have some more space at the bottom, over there as well, we need to introduce that orange. The reason why I'm using red is because the color will be a bit more brighter. It will get mixed with yellow and also the pink. And it will create a different tonal values in the sky, leaving some beautiful colors. Okay, Now I'm applying the paint around the houses. I'm almost done. Okay. Now I'm going to clean my brush. With a clean brush, I will just smudge it. Maybe we can add a bit of yellow to make the process more easier. Okay. Gently smudge the colors, don't get rid of the yellow. That's something you have to be careful about. It is what makes our sky look more beautiful. If you want to add in some more, you could do that. I'm picking a bit more yellow. I'm adding that again onto the sky. Okay. So that's how the sky has turned out. I'm very pleased with it. It is that yellow which made our sky look more beautiful. Otherwise, it's a very normal sky. It's a normal blend of blue, pink, and red. Okay. I'm just fixing these areas. That's it. That's our beautiful sky. Now we can leave it for trying. All right, so that's done. Next our task is to paint the snowy ground. But before I start painting, I feel like changing this line a little bit. Just changing the ankle. Okay. I think this looks better. All right. Now, the color I'm going to use here as pain scray, I will use a light total of pain scray. And I will add some shadows and some shapes onto that top part. Okay, pick up a clean brush and apply coat of water over here. Be careful when you're closer to the sky. You can leave a gap in between. Don't let the brush test the sky. Okay, so that section is entirely wet. Now I'm going to go with my size number six. Rush to apply the paint. Okay. Now I'm picking a medium tone of paint screen. If the paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Okay. Now, onto the wet background. Simply add some lines. I'm adding them where I'm supposed to add those trees. Okay. Now, with a clean brush, I'm just smudging those lines. Okay? Just add some lines and some shapes onto the wet background. Now, along that bottom line, I'm adding some shadows again over here. Okay, from the bottom, towards the top, add some random shapes. What we're adding right now is only the base layer. We'll be adding some more textures when this has dried, I mean, some dried textures. For now, you just need to add some textures using a lighter tone or a medium tone of paint screen. All right, so that is done now, let's leave it for drying. Next, we're going to paint the houses and also the landscape in the background. And then we can come to the road. Okay, Now the color I'm going to use is a mix of red and a bit of paint screen. By mixing these two colors, I'm going to create a brown on my own. I didn't want to take out a new color, so that's why I'm mixing these two colors. Anyway, I have them on my palette. If you have brown or burns already on your palette, use it directly. You're going to x create a new color. Okay, with my size number six fresh. I'm going to pick a little of paint screen. I will mix that with red. Okay, you can easily create a brown this way. Just a bit of paints gray and red. Okay, now let's add that color onto the walls. I'm starting from this side, that small rectangular section. I'm filling that carefully. Similarly, let's fill the other one. This one here. Okay, we just need a brownish color for this tip. You can use it directly or you can mix some paint scray with red. All right, so that's a first side. Now into the same color, I'm going to add a bit more paint scray to make it a bit more darker, a little bit onto the other side. I'm adding that darker tone. You don't need to wait for the other side to dry. It's a small house and we're not going to add a lot of detail. It doesn't really matter. But if you want to wait for the other side to dry, you could do that. Okay. So that's the first house. In a similar way, I'm adding darker tune onto the other section, Aspher over here. We won't be adding any doors or windows. It's far away, so I think we don't need to go into that detail. We'll be adding a lighter tone of paints, gray onto the roof. That's all. Okay. So finish off the walls, then we can start with the landscape. The landscape is nothing but a simple shape and I'm using the same brush and the same color. Okay. Go with any of your smaller presh or a medium size brush. Now, simply add some shapes along the horizon. It can be a darker tone of brown or you can use pains, grey, Actus. See that? Just keep on adding some rough shapes onto those in between spaces first. Then we can add it on the other side. Okay. I have added them onto these pockets now. I'm going to continue the same till the other end. It's just a matter of adding some teeny tiny lines on the top, using your brush. Using the tip of your brush, and then towards the bottom, you can simply fill it up. Okay, That's a high time going with maybe towards the left end, I will make it a bit more higher. Okay, let's continue this and finish it off just using the tip of your brush. First, you can add some lines which will look like those are some trees or plants. Then towards the bottom, you can just fill it up. It's a simple task. Just like those houses, this landscape is also quite far from us. You don't need to put a lot of effort. You can simply add a shape. See that? I'm just adding some lines on the top. Now towards the bottom, I will simply fill up that paint. Okay, so that's how it is now, let's quickly finish it. All right? So we have the landscape and the house is in place. Now I'm going to dab the brush on a paper towel to remove the excess amount of paint. Just dab it on a paper towel. With that dry brush, I'm going to add some patterns on the ground. Just some simple patterns here and there. Okay. Don't make it too prominent. And also be sure your paint is really dry. Dab it on a paper towel multiple times before you do this step. Okay. Now, simply add some dry patterns wherever you want to. Don't overdo it, We only need a little here and there. That's all you can see. The difference to those patterns made even though they are very little. I think those patterns gave a finished look earlier. It was empty. Okay. That's how it has turned out. Now I'm going to clean my brush, then we can go the road. Now I'm picking a medium tone of in Tico on my brush and I'm going to apply that onto the entire bottom part. Okay, just fill it up onto this background. We are going to introduce some paint scray. Simply add a layer of Intc, medium tone or lighter tone. Anything you prefer. Okay, that's a base layer. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints a darker tone. Now simply drop in that paint onto this bed background. There is nothing to be worried about. You can simply drop in the paint. As you have that indico in the background, it will leave a nice texture. See that? Now when you're applying the paint, try to leave some gaps in between. On those gaps we can see Indico, a medium turn off into that will add a beautiful texture to the road and it will make it look more realistic. Okay, I started off with indigo. I applied that to, to the entire background. Now I'm randomly dropping in some pain scree, a darker tone of pain scree onto that indigo background. And that's how it has turned out. See that? Beautiful right now. We'll have to wait for this to try and then we can go the final details. But in the meantime, there is actually one thing we can do. There is already some paint scray on my brush. I'm picking some water. I'm turning that into a medium tone. Now that medium tone, I'm just adding some lines and some shapes onto the roof is one or two thick lines. That's all we need and go the similar tonal value. Okay, that's a roof now I'm going to leave it for drying and then we can go the final details. All right, so that is dry. Our next task is to add the trees. This is one step that will elevate our painting. Also, it can be a bit time consuming as we need to add plenty of them. I'm planning to add four or five trees. You can add more if you want to. The more the trees your painting will look more interesting. Anyway, start, I'm going to use paints gray for the trees and I'm using my size numeric unh. Now I'm going to place the trees where I have these dry patterns on the ground. I'm starting from here, This one can be a bit huge. Okay? So from the bottom I'm going to continue that line till the top of my paper. That's the thickness I'm going with, or maybe it can be a bit more thicker. Anyway, let me add the shape first. Let me tell you, you can add your trees however you want to and wherever you want to. It doesn't need to be in the same way. I'm adding one here, but it doesn't mean you have to add them at the same spot or the same location. Change it according to your preference. Okay. First I will add all the tree trunks. Then I will go the smaller brush and I will add the remaining branches. All right, that's the first tree. Maybe it can be a bit more thicker. I'm picking some more paint. I'm making it slightly thicker. Okay, This one is done. Now, I'm going to add the second one, right next to that. Over here. Over here. I don't have any dry patterns on the ground. It is empty. That is why it is looking weird. It looks like acid. The tree is floating but never mind. We can add in those patterns at the end. Okay. So that's my second tree. This one is a different height. It is much more shorter. All right, now let's add the next one I said earlier. For now, I'm just adding the tree trunk. I will just place them. Then I will add the remaining branches onto that to make it look more interesting. Okay, just add them however you want to go at different heights and interesting shapes. It can be leaning on to the right or left, or it can be a straight tree. Okay. Now I'm going to add a few more, then I will start with the branches. Oh, all right. So all the trees are in place. I think I have added plenty. I like the way I have placed it. Anyway, now I'm going to keep this precious side and I'm switching to a smaller one. Let's begin. The fun, the brush I'm using here, a size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush to add in these branches, and I'm not really sure how many of you consider this fun. To me, it's really fun. I love adding these branches. Obviously, after a point, if I'm adding a lot, I will get bored. I'm not denying that, but I like it. Especially if you're comfortable with your brush. I've been using this brush for quite a long time. I love to add these lines and details with this brush. It is size number two and it has got a real, really nice pointed tip. Yeah, if you have a brush you're comfortable with, certain things can be really fun. You can also use a rigger brush or a liner brush, or any other brush you prefer for this step. Actually, any brush with which you can create thin, delicate lines. Okay? Now our task is to add as many branches as we can, preferably thin and delicate ones. Okay? This step can be a bit time consuming, but then it is really important for our painting. We have quite a lot of area for the sky and if you add these trees and these branches, it will elevate the beauty of our painting. It will give it a more finished look. Okay, Don't skip this step. If you're feeling bored, take a break and come back and add them again later. You don't need to do that in one go. Okay, so let's quickly do this. Okay, so that's the way it has turned out. I have added plenty of branches, but there is room for more. Just take a look at your painting and if you feel like there is some more caps in between. If you want to add more just for fun, you can add them again. I'm just extending some of the branches to make it look a bit more tense. Okay? Actually, if you want to, you can add in more trees and make it more and more dense and beautiful. We have quite a lot of space in between and we have a beautiful sky and a beautiful composition, but no pressure. If you're up for it, you can add one or two in between. I'm not planning to add extra trees, but I'm surely planning to add more branches. There is a lot more gaps in between. But I'm already bored. Maybe I might go ahead and add a lot more or I will stop with a few. All right, for the time being, I'm going to stop adding these branches. What I'm going to do is I'm going to add this brush on a paper towel or we'll have to add some more try patterns on the ground. That's the last task over here. We don't have any pattern right where this tree is standing. Just take a look at your painting. If I've added any trees where there is no pattern, add a few. Now there's one more thing that I want to do for that. I'm going with a medium turn off paints gray. I'm again, dabbing my brush on the paper towel. Now over here, along that thickness of the snowy ground, I'm adding some patterns from the bottom towards the top. Okay. Just create some patterns over there to make that thickness more prominent. Right now, it is not really visible. Go with the medium tone of paint screen. Pick it up on your brush, tap it on a paper towel. Just go with that dry paint and add in some patterns over here along that sloping line to show the thickness. Okay, just a few is all we need. Don't make it too prominent. Don't add a lot and overdo it. If you don't want to add it, you can totally skip this step. It will look like a flat land. This way we are giving it a thickness. You're actually done with our painting. Now, just in case, if you want to add in some extra branches or some more lines like this, you could add that. Okay. Other than that, we are done with our painting. I really like the weight is compost the color combination and the TF feel of this painting. It has come out really nice. I hope you guys enjoy it as well. Now I'm going to peel up the masking tape. Look at that. And here's our painting for the day. It's a beautiful sunset. I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you so much for joining me today. I'll be back here soon with our next winter landscape. 33. Day 30 - Northern lights: Hello my lovely friends. Welcome to day 30 of our winter watercolor challenge, which means with the gorgeous northern lights, we're going to rack up this challenge as usual. Let's start by looking at the colors we will need. Before we start, let's have a quick look at the colors for the sky. I'm going to go for a combination of three colors. The first one is Cabal Creen, Prussian Blue, and Indico. Okay, these are the three colors are used for the sky. I have chosen a lighter tune, a medium tune, and a darker tune. And that's how I'm going to create a contrast in the northern lights. Okay, now I will swatch these. Cobal green is a very beautiful color, especially to use in northern lights and also for skates. See that? That's a first color. The second one is Pressian blue, which I'm hoping you all have. Okay, so we need a lighter blue. It can be cobalt blue or any other blue, you have caught any similar kind. Then you need a medium blue, which is Prussian blue. Now, to add the deeper tones, we will also need some indigo. Okay? So that's a darker blue. I'm going to use, I'll use indigo also with the snowy crown. Okay. So those are the three colors we will need for the sky. Now, along with these, you will also need some brown and paints gray. We will use brown for the cabin and we'll use paint screen to add those details. And the pine trees, okay, this one is permanent brown. You can go with burn sena if you don't have brown. Now, the final color is paintsrey. Okay? So those are the colors you will need for today's painting. Along with these, you'll also need some white watercolor or white gouache to add the stars. Okay? So keep all the colors ready on your palette. You will need some copal green, Prussian blue, Indico brown, or burn sina and some paints grey. Now it's time for you to try. Over here I have fixed my paper onto a board. You can fix your paper onto any hard surface which you can lift and turn around. This will make the entire process a lot more easier than fixing onto the table. Okay, that's a first step. Before you start now let's begin with the sketch First, I'm going to add a line, an irregular one, to separate the sky and the ground. Okay? It is sloping towards a right now, right at the center, I'm going to add a teeny tiny cabin. I'm starting with this side. Okay. Now we can add a tiny do here. Okay. So that's the first side. Now let's add the roof and finish off the shape. It's a very simple one. That's the size I'm going with. Okay. So that's our cabin now, right at the bottom, I'm going to add another line. See that? Just to make it look like it is immersed in the snow. Okay. This will make our painting look more interesting. All right, so that's a sketch. We just need to add an irregular line and a cabin. Now as I'm painting, I'll be adding a few trees, Maybe one or two on the right and the left. You don't need to add those lines right now. Maybe for a reference you can, but it is not necessary. I might add one here and another one next to that, or I might change the plan as I'm painting. This is just a reference. Okay, maybe I will add them towards the left asphle or only the right. I haven't decided on that. Anyway, that's how the composition is going to look like. Now, there's one more thing we have to do before we start painting, which is masking the cabin. You can use a masking tape or a masking fluid. Apply that onto the entire cabin. I'm going to use a masking tape here, which is a lot more easier. I will take out a small piece, then I will trace out the shape, cut it, and paste it back. Okay, so let's take a small piece of masking tape. Now I'm going to trace the shape, only the outline. It's a simple shape so you really don't need to go for masking. Float a masking tape will work perfectly. Okay, so I'm just tracing the outline. Then I will grab a scissor and then I will cut it out, then I will paste it back. I have cut out the sheep, now I'm gonna stick it back. Okay. Only the top outline. Okay. So that is fixed. Your fingers a few times to make sure there's no caps in between. All right. So I have secured the cabin now we can start painting. I'm hoping you all have the colors ready to paint. The sky. You will need Prussian blue, cabal, green, indigo, and also a bit of pain scray. We'll need to add some landscape along the bottom. For that, you will need pinscray as well. Keep those four colors ready on your palette before you start. When you have them ready, start by applying a cot of water onto the entire sky and make it evenly wet. We have applied masking tape on the cabin, so you can just run your brush on top of it. There is nothing to worry. Okay. So the sky is evenly wet. Now, before you start, if you feel like there's a lot of water along the border, wipe it off with a clean towel. Otherwise, they will float back into the painting and they might create some bleeds. Okay, that is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. For the initial layer, I'm going to use a flat brush. This one is a half inch flatbush I'm starting with cobalcream, a very bright one of cobal cream. Okay, now I'm going to add some swirly lines to the sky. You can go with any kind of shape. That's the first one, you can see the shape I have at it. Now, I will add one more line next to that, again in a swirly wavy way. I have left some cap in between. Now I'm adding the second line. Maybe we could add one more, a shorter one towards the left, as there is a lot of space over there. Ok, okay, a small swirly line. All right, so that's Cabal Green. Now I'm going to clean my brush. I'm switching to Prussian Blue. I'll go to the medium tone and I'm going to apply that onto these in between spaces. I'm adding that in a swirly line. See that? Just fill in those spaces with a medium tone of Prussian Blue. Now let's go with the right side and fill in that cap. For now, there is nothing much to worry, you just need to fill in all those caps. Start with bal cream or any color you have got. It could also be turquoise blue if you don't have Cobalcream. Okay, now we have some more space on the left. I'm going to add paint over here as well. Simply adding your paint for now before the background dries up and then we can start cleaning it and make it a better blend. For now, simply concentrate on adding paint onto the entail background. Okay, we have three swirly lines, cabal crine lines, and we have added Prussian blue onto the other spaces. If you want, you can add in some more paint. I, Prussian Blue. Then we're going to go with Intco to add the deeper tones. Okay, that is Prussian blue and Balin. Now it's time to go with in Tico over the same H. I'm picking a bit of inc, I will add that onto the top corners. Okay, I'll add a bit over here, then over here, and also onto the left side. This is to introduce the deeper tones. Only if we have enough deeper tones in the background, we can create that contrast. Deeper tones are really important. See that? Now I'm going to go with one of my other brush. This one is size number eight, rush. It's clean. I'm picking a little of cabal cream with that brush is not too watery. Now I'm going to clean these swiry lines to make it look more softer. See that? Just run your brush in a swolly way and get rid of those hard edges. Be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure. Carefully run your brush again in a swolly way. Now let's do the same thing for the other lines as well. Be very gentle, that's something you have to be careful about. If you put a lot of pressure, you can see a lot of brush marks and it won't have that soft and smooth feel. If there's a lot of paint on your brush, wipe it off on a paper towel. Before you go with the next line, see that I'm gently running my brush along that swirly line to make it look softer. Okay, so that's how the background has turned out. You can keep repeating the same step until you're happy with the result. But remember to be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure and do this before your background dries up. If it is starting to dry, you can just leave it the way it is. Okay. That's my beautiful northern light sky. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside and I'm switching to a smaller one. This one is size number six. I'm going to add some landscape in the background using pain. Scrayi'm picking a lot of pain scra, darker tone onto this wet background. I'm going to add some shapes, just some simple random shapes along the horizon. See that we have to do this while the background is still wet so that they have a blurry look. You can go with any kind of shape that you prefer. It can be a little more bigger or smaller. That's totally your choice. Okay. Now I'm going to continue that till the other end. At some places maybe you can make it a bit more higho to give it a natural feel. Okay. That's the sky and the landscape. The paper I'm using here is 100% cotton compared to a silloose paper. It will stay wet for a longer time. When you're painting Northern lights, making your background stay wet for a longer time is really important to get that soft and smooth blend. Anyway that ser has turned out, you can see the car us color and the contrast we have created here. I'm very happy with the result. Now, before we go the next step, we'll have to wait for this to try. Okay, so that's how the sky has dried up. The colors are still looking really beautiful. Now our next task is to splatter some stars. I will cover the cabin and the ground using a paper. Just use something to cover it up so that we won't accidentally splatter any stars over there. I'm going to use some white verticl. Can use white verticl or gas. Both will work, okay. So take out a bit of white quash of white verticl onto your palette and add a few drops of water. Not a lot. We need a thicker consistency. If you feel like your paint is too watery, dap it on a paper towel before you start splattering. Now, using another brush, I'm going to tap on the smaller brush to create the splatters. I'm going to focus on the top part where I have these darker tones. See that you can see the size. They're super tiny. If you paint is too watery, you will end up getting big splatters. Dab your brush on a paper towel if you feel it's too watery. See that. You can see how beautiful those stars are looking. They're super tiny. If you want to splatter more, you could do that. I'm happy with the results, so I'm just going to stop it there. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add few bigger stars in between. Add them wherever you want to. You can also use a wide El pen for this step. Okay? Just adding a few bigger dots to give it a more realistic feel. Okay. My lovely. So that's how the sky has turned out. Next we can peer up the masking tape. Honestly, I'm a bit nervous. I'm hoping there is no any accidents. Okay. Let me take it off. Looks like it's clean. Yeah. That's how it has turned out it worked. See that? There's only a little paint here which is totally fine. We can fix it. Other than that, it's perfect. Okay, now the next task is to paint the snowy ground. I'll start by applying a coat of water. Then I will go with into, I'll use a medium tune and I will simply add some lines onto that wet background to create some shadows and texture. Okay, so using my size number eight tunrush, I'm going to apply a coat of water. You have to make sure your brush is clean. Now as you're approaching that cabin and also the landscape, be careful. Don't add too much water over there. The colors might smug. All right. That's evenly wet. Now I'm going to switch to my size number six. Ron Rush I'm going to go with a medium tune of Tico. For almost all of the paintings we did so far, we have painted a snowy ground. It's the same technique. You have to go with a medium tune or a lighter tune of Tico, just to add that onto the wet background while leaving some caps in between. I'm starting from the bottom, I'm applying that medium tune at the bottom. Then I will add some lines in between. Okay, as you're painting a night sky, the color can be a bit darker. For all the other paintings, we have used a lighter tone, But here I'm using a medium tone. Okay. Now, closer to the cabin, I'm adding a few lines. Okay. We could add a few here as well. All right. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm damping that on a paper towel just to be sure it is not too watery. Okay. Now, with that amp, clean brush, I'm smudging these lines to give it a softer look, okay? Gently smudge all those lines so that they won't appear too prominent and rough. Okay. If you want to add some more shadows and texture on the ground, maybe you can add few more lines using the same color. I think I will add a few more. Mostly towards the right side. I'm picking some more paint and I'm adding a few lines onto that fed background using a medium tone. Okay, now let's mud it with a clean tush. Be very gentle when you're smudging the paint. Don't put a lot of pressure. All right. So that's a snowy ground now. We'll have to wait for this to dry. I just realized we could have painted the roof along with the snowy ground. Never mind. Let's go back with a lighter tone of in Tico. I'm picking a little of paint now onto the roof. I'm just adding some lines in different thickness and shape. See that? Just adding a few lines here and there. Now, clean your brush. And then just mere we just need some shadows and texture on the roof. It doesn't need to be too prominent or very well detailed. That's all we need. Okay, That's a snowy roof and the snowy ground. Now for the next step, we will need some brown or per sina. I'm going to use some brown. We're going to paint the rest of the cabin. Squeeze out some brown or per sina onto your palette. We only need a little. Now, I'm starting off with the taco, I'm going to apply that onto the left side. The brush I'm using here is size number six. Go with any of your smaller brush so that I can apply them properly. Over here, I'm applying a taco tone of brown. And I'm leaving that door as I'm painting. I'm not applying any paint over there. Okay. Just leave out that space and fill up the entire area in a darker brown. I haven't added any paints, gray or any other color to turn that into a darker tone. I'm just using a darker tone of the paint itself. If you feel like your color is not dark enough, maybe you can add a tiny bit of paints. Gray. Okay, that's a side. Now let's paint the other side. Now for that, I will go with a medium tone. I'm adding a few drops of water. I'm filling the other section in a medium tone. Okay. Simply fill that entire area. Then gradually we can start adding some more textures. By texture, I mean just some lines. We'll be adding some horizontal lines at the end when the base layer has tried. For now, you just need to apply a solid wash. Okay, on the first side, we applied a darker tone. Now we're using a medium tone. Now, let this dry. In the meantime, I think we can start with the pine trees. We're going to add some trees next to the cabin. Okay, Let's go with that. I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going to use some pain screen to add the pine trees. Okay. Go with the darker tone of pain screen. If you don't have pain screen, just go with black. It's totally fine. Also, try to go the brush which has got a pointed tip. The trees we're going to add are quite tiny, they're not big and very well detailed. Try to go the smaller brush. All right. Now I'm starting by adding the tree trunk, that's the height of the tree, maybe we can make it a bit more thicker. I won't be adding a lot of trees. I'm just going to add two or three. That's all. But you can compose your painting however you want to. You can add the trees wherever you want to. You can add four or five or six of them. It's totally up to you. Okay. Next I'm adding the second tree trunk. That can be slightly shorter. Okay. We have placed two trees, now we can start adding the foliage. Let's start with the bigger one now, using the tip of my brush, I'm just adding some teeny tiny patterns onto either side of the tree trunk. On the tip of the tree, there are two tiny, you can see the size. Now as I'm coming down, I will make those patterns a bit more wider. Okay. So it's just a matter of adding some teeny tiny patterns using the tip of your brush. Add them close to each other. Let's try another one. See that it's not that complicated. Give it a try. Maybe we can try it on a scrap piece of paper and then add that on your painting. Also, I'm not going to go for a very thick and dense tree in between, I'm leaving some caps. This will make our tree look more beautiful. Every artist paint pine trees in a different way. If there is any particular way you're comfortable with, you can just go with that technique. You don't need to follow my pine tree for this is quite easy, this is the way I normally follow and that's why I'm able to do it quite quickly. But if you want to go for a different technique, it's totally fine. We just need to add two or three pine trees here. That's all. The technique doesn't really matter. Now, in a very similar way, I'm adding foliage onto this one Asp. You can see I'm leaving some gaps in between again. But maybe towards the bottom I will make it a bit more thicker. I'm not going to leave a lot of gaps at the bottom. Okay, that's my second tree. Maybe we can add some empty branches or trees next to that. Just add in a few empty branches like this. Using a smaller brush, I will add one more next to the other tree over here. Maybe it's a good idea to switch to a smaller brush. This one is making the lines really thick. I'm just going to keep this one aside. I will pick my size number two brush. These empty branches are not really necessary. Only if you want to add them, you could do it. Otherwise, just ignore the step. Okay. Now, similarly, I think I will add few empty branches on the other side as some empty trees. Also, if you want to add more trees, I mean more pine trees, you could do that. You can add one or two onto the left side ash. It's totally your choice. Compose your painting however you want to. Okay. So I'm going to add another empty tree over here. Just adding some thin lines, some irregular line. I will add one over here. You can see the lines I'm adding. Try your best to go with a similar kind of thickness, don't make it too thick and prominent. Okay. Maybe we can add one more tree right next to that. I'm adding that over here. I think that is fine. Okay. So those are the pine trees. Now, we need to add the remaining details onto the cabin. We need to add the door and also we need to add some lines onto the walls. That's our next task. I'm picking some more paint. This one is paint screen inside the door. I'm going to add two divisions. Just two rectangular divisions, vertical ones. Okay, I'm leaving a gap in between. If you couldn't leave a gap, that's totally fine. Just go back with white quash or White water club and just add a line in between. Okay, so that's a door. Now we have one more task left with just adding some horizontal divisions onto the wall to make it look like it is a wooden cabin. I'm picking a little of brown and I'm mixing that with paints gray to create a darker brown. Okay. Now first I'm going to add a thicker line here to introduce a shadow. And also over here, the wall with the door is pretty small. I think I can just leave it actus. I'm not going to add any horizontal divisions, but over here we can add them. Just add a few horizontal lines which is equally placed. See that? Or let's add that on the other side as well, that tackle tone, I'm just adding a few more lines. It is slightly visible. To finish off the cabin, we have one small task left. For that, I will need to clean my brush. Then I will need to pick some white watercolor. It could be white watercolor or guash. Pick a little of paint. Okay. Now we need to add the roof line over here. Just add a line in a similar thickness and show the roof line. Okay. With that, we are done with the cabin. Now in case if you want to fix the shape of the door, I mean that outline or the shape of the roof, you could do that. Go with some white paint and fix whatever details you want to fix. Okay. That's a cabin now. I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to go back with into I'm picking very little paint and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Now, right where we have these trees, I'm going to add a very light shadow. See that it doesn't need to be too prominent. Just add a thick line using that medium tone. Okay, That's it. With that, we are done with our painting for the day. Here's a closer look. I hope you all like this painting. It's a quick one. Give it a try, failure to try it, either with the same color combination or a different color combination of your choice. Try to go with a lighter tone, a medium tone, and then a darker tone. Okay, give it a try and let me know if you liked it. All right, so here's a final painting from the series. Thank you so much for joining and happy painting.
