30 Day Watercolor Challenge - Learn to Paint Quick and Easy Watercolor Skies

1. Welcome to the Challenge: I'm often asked, how do I create such simple yet stunning color combinations for my verticlar skies. Last year, I poured my passion into a book titled Bold and beautiful vertical kis, where I explored countless color palettes and compositions. The book showcases 30 otic skies, but there is so much more I have discovered that I can't wait to share. Hello, friends. My name is Danna Apeel. I'm an artist, an art instructor and an author. My first encounter with tclor happened when I was at the age of five, and ever since I'm always fascinated with bold and beautiful colors. I love playing with vibrant color combinations. And every time I come across a photograph or a movie scene, I can help but mentally draft a color palette in my mind. I'm thrilled to invite everyone to a brand new tcl cellen where we will be painting 30 quick and easy vertical skies. And you know the exciting twist, every sky can be finished in just 15 minutes. Ah. Since my classes cater to beginners, we will take the time to go over the materials and detail. Also before we start with every project, I will guide you through the colors required to bring your artwork to life. This class isn't just about painting 30 skies. With each project, you will also learn how to create various foreground and background elements. We'll explore different type of mountains, meadows, and so much more along the way. If you're all set for 30 days of creating quick and easy, beautiful tic skies, gather your art supplies, and let's get started on this journey. H 2. Class Overview: Painting verticar skies can be a bit tricky, particularly for beginners. From getting the paper properly wet to knowing exactly when to drop the colors, it takes practice to get the hang of it. Skies are an integral part of any verticar landscape. Learning to paint them is a key skill in your aticar practice. That's why I'm here to guide you through a vertcar challenge designed to help you master painting skies. This class is designed as a daily challenge, and starting today, for the next 30 days, we'll be painting quick and easy verticar skies. Being a mom homemaker and an artist, I know how difficult it can be to find time for your hobbies every day. That's why each painting is designed to be completed in under 15 minutes. Before we start with every project, I will walk you through the reference image I have considered and the color palette. We'll also have a look at the different steps involved in the process. This will give you a better idea on how to approach the painting. Altogether with the prepan everything, the video will be somewhere 17-18 minutes. But the actual painting time would be only less than 15 minutes. These paintings are not just about the skies. We'll explore different subjects like mountains. Over here, you can see three different varieties of mountains with different kind of skies. We'll be exploring all of them in the coming days, and they're going to be a wonderful asset to your vertical practice. Now, I just want to show you some of my favorites from the tie collection. This is one of them. I love the way the sky has turned out, especially this yellow streak in between. Then another one is this beautiful piece sky. I love the color combination and those clouds. We'll be trying out another one in a similar color combination with a totally different approach. So with each painting, you will learn a lot about colors and how to use them in different ways. We'll also try some glowing sunsets. This one is my another favorite. There is another one in a similar approach. In this one, the colors are different. It is more intense. So yeah, with each and every artwork, you will get to try different color combination and how to incorporate them in your future artworks. This one here is another interesting sky that we're going to try. And the best part about these paintings is that they can be done in just 15 minutes. So if you have some time to spare and want to level up your at color skies, you are in the right place. Let's not wait any longer. Let's officially start this exciting journey. 3. Materials you'll need: Okay. So before we start with the first gorgeous y, let's have a look at the materials you will need. I will start with the paper. Arches is one of my most favorite brand when it comes to aticar paper. I have been using this paper for a while now. This one is the cool press aticor paper, which is 140 LB, and it is also 100% cotton. You can go with any aticar paper that you normally use preferably a co press tic paper that is of 140 LB and 100% cotton. Now, here's the size of paper that I'm going to use for all the paintings we'll be doing throughout this challenge. It is 12 centimeter by 14 centimeter. I wanted to show you the texture of this paper. As I mentioned earlier, this one is a core pressed watercolor paper, and you can see the texture. It is just moderately textured. So this level of texture is perfect for watercolor paintings. Before I go the next material, I will show you one of the painting to give you a better idea about the size. Here's the first painting that we're going to do. You can compose your painting in a similar orientation or you can go with a square or a landscape format. That's all about the paper. Now coming to the next material. I will talk about the watercolors. I'm someone who prefer watercolor tubes or watercolor pants, and I'll be using colors from various brands. There's a wide range of brands here, there is Rmprant, Shinhan, art philosophy, and cenar. I'll be just picking colors from different brand according to the painting that we're doing, and I'll be explaining all the colors in detail at the beginning of every painting. Then to mix your colors, you will need a mixing palette. This one is a ceramic mixing palette. I love this pallet. It has got two bigger divisions to mix the colors and so many small sections to squeeze out your paint. You can go with any palette that you normally use. It can be plastic or ceramic. The shape and the material doesn't matter. All of them serves the purpose well. Next, I'm going to talk about the watercolor brushes. For this entire challenge, I'll be using five different brushes. Here I have two flat brushes and three round brushes. The first one is a 1 " flat brush. I'll be using this brush mainly to apply water onto the background. Okay. Now the second one is a half inch flat brush. Again, to apply paint onto the background, especially wherever you need a clean plant. And then I have three round brushes. One is size number eight. Then the second one is size number six, then I have size number two. All of these brushes are from the brand silver brush. We spoke about the paper, the brush, and the paint. Now, coming to the next material, which is a masking tape. This one is a very normal masking tape. I got it from a stationary store. This one is a 1 " masking tape. You can go with any tape that you normally use. It can be washi tape or painter tape or any other tape. Just go with the one that works for you. Next, will need two jars of water. Whenever I'm working with watercolor, I prefer using two jars of water at the same time. Whenever I'm in need of clean water, I can pick water from one jar. And whenever I want to resolve the paint from my brush, I can use the other one. If you only have one jar, not a problem, just remember to replace your water whenever it is getting dirty. The next thing you will need is a pencil and an eraser. There isn't a lot of sketching involved, but for things like adding mountain, maybe a horizon line, you will need a pencil and an eraser. And last but not the least, you will also need a paper towel. We'll be using a paper towel to dab off the excess amount of paint or water from our brush. And also at times, we might need to create dry brush patterns. So we'll be rubbing off our brush on the paper towel to make the paint dry. Okay, that's the purpose of a paper towel. And that summarize all the materials you will need for this tire challenge. So keep them ready, and let's officially start this vertical challenge. 4. Color Palette - Pastel Colors: Before we start, let's have a look at some of the colors. You will require for this water color challenge. At the beginning of every painting, I will take you through a detailed walk through of the colors you will require for that particular painting. So I'm not going to go over them and repeat the same information to e. In this section, my intention is to give you an idea about the pastel colors, which you might not have with you. You can see the colors I have used in these paintings. These colors doesn't come in the normal watercolor sets. You have to either buy them separate, or you have to mix and create them. So that is what I'm going to show you in this section. I just love using pasal colors when I'm doing a ac sky, and I think you will love it, too. Let me take you through those special beautiful colors and how to create them. Over here, I have brilliant pink, then shell pink. These two are two gorgeous Pasal pinks. Then I have John Brilliant number two, which is a patel orange, then Naples yellow and gray. All of these colors are from the Branch Shinhan. I think now all the brands have a set of Pacel colors. These colors are actually very simple. You don't need to buy them separate. You can easily create them. So let's consider Naples yellow. And if you look at the pigment number, you can see that information here. It says PY 35 and P W six. PY is a pigment for yellow, and PW is a pigment for white. To make it easier, I will show you the pigment number for white. This one is a white watercolor. Now, if you look at the pigment number information, you can clearly see it's written PW six. That means to create Naples yellow, you just have to make some yellow and white together. Same goes with pink. If you look at the pigment number, you can see it's a red pigment, pr209 and P W six, which means you just have to make some white pigment and red pigment together, to create a basil pink. Anyway, let's do that. I think that is a better way of explaining. Right now I have taken some brilliant pink. It's a gorgeous pink. I love using this color in my sky. It's a beautiful soft pink. Now let's have a look at the Pigment number information again. Let's see how we can create it. Okay. Here we are. It says pr209 and P W six, which means you just have to mix some red watercolor and white watercolor together to create this color. Let's give it a try. I'm going to grab a red color. This one is spiral red again from Shin Hin. I will take out a little of that. Also, we need some white watercolor. Let's see the color that we're going to end up with. I have the colors ready here, I have some red and white. I'm picking a little of red. Then I'm adding some white with it. Let's add more white. See that? Is he right? The color looks so much similar to the one we have swatched out. Maybe let's swatch it out and see how close they are. Right here, I have used pyrol red. Instead of that, you can also use crimson or carmine or any other kind of red. The color will be a little different according to the red and white you're using. I mean, the quantity and also the pigment, but those things are totally fine. We just need a Pasal pink. This one is very much similar. These two are very similar. If you're not someone who don't use pasal colors a lot, you don't need to buy it. You can mix and create. Next I'm going to show you how to create Naples yellow, which is a beautiful, soft yellow. This is one of the painting where I'll be using Naples yellow for the sky. The major color here is Naples yellow. Then I'll be adding some clouds on top of it. Now your guess is right. You just have to mix some white with yellow to create a Naples yellow. First, I will swatch out Naples yellow. Then we'll see the mixing options. This one is Naples yellow. It's again from Shinhan. It's a soft basal yellow. Now, let's try mixing some white with the yellows we have got and see which one is closer. First, I will pick some primary yellow. Then into that, I'm adding some white waterclor. I think this one is very bright. It doesn't look like Naples yellow much. Maybe we have to add more white and see how that's going to turn out. Still it is looking quite bright. Maybe we will have to change the yellow. Anyway, I will switch it out. And then we can try creating the same with a different yellow. For Naples yellow, the pigment number they have used is P y 35. I don't have a color which is nearly similar to that. So I'm going to go ahead and try mixing some yellow ochre with white watercolor. For yellow ochre, the pigment number is P Y 42, and that is the nearrest one I have. So I'm mixing some yellow ochre with white watercolor. And here's the color I have caught. L et's swatch it out and see whether it's closer to Naples yellow. Quite obviously, this one is so much better than the one we tried earlier. So yeah, just try and experiment with the colors you have got. I mean the yellows. Try adding some white with it, and see which one is closer to Naples yellow. If you look at the pigment number, it says P it 35 and P W six. P Y 35 is the pigment number for cadmium yellow. So if you have it with you, try mixing that with white and see if it's similar to Naples yellow. Next, I'll show you one more color, which is a pastel orange. The one I'm going to swatch out is called John Brilliant number two. This one is a really light and soft pasel orange. It's not a bright one like the pink. See that? To be honest, I don't use it much. I prefer a brighter pasel orange. Mostly I mix and create my own pasel orange. Here's the color I just swatched out. It's called John Brilliant number two, and here's a pigment number, P 20 and P W six, which means it's orange pigment and a white pigment mixed together. Now let's try creating this color. I have a bit of orange here. This one is brilliant orange from Shinhan, and I'm missing that with white. Just a bit of orange and more of white. So if you're looking for a really light and soft basal color, you can add more white into the mix. And if you want it to be more brighter, you will have to add more pigment. It could be yellow or orange or pink or any other color you want to turn into a basal color. This one is a mix of orange and white. If you don't have orange, just mix some vermin with white, and you will get a very similar color. Now, I'm going to add more orange into the same mix. This one here is a painting where I have used a brighter pastel orange. So Let's try swatching it out. See that. It is much more brighter and beautiful. Earlier, we only used a little of orange and we added more white, and right now we have added more orange into the same mix, and that is a difference. All right, so I'm guessing you all got a better idea about how to create pasal colors, if you don't have one. There is no need to rush and buy. If you don't have it, you can easily create it with the colors you have with you. But if you're someone who enjoy working with Pasal colors, don't even think about it, go get them, especially Pasal pink. The kind of color combinations and artworks you can create with them are super stunning. Okay, so it's time to wrap up this video and start with the first gorgeous sky. 5. DAY 01 - Fiery Sunset: Hello, hello. It's a lovely day to paint a gorgeous sunset. We are starting off this challenge with this gorgeous color combination. It's a bold and beautiful sunset. Now here's the reference mate I considered. Obviously, I have changed the colors a little bit, according to the ones that I have with me, and also considering the properties of watercolor. Before we start, let's have a quick look at all these colors. It's a bright red and orange sunset. Obviously, you will need some red and orange. But along with those, I have also used one more color, which you can see on the top. Maybe I will start with orange and red. Then you will also need some brown to introduce some darker tones onto the sky. The orange I'm using here is orange from cenar. Then I have pyrol red from Shinhan. Then I also have some permanent brown from art philosophy. I will swatch out one by one, so you have a better idea about these colors. You can go with any orange you have caught. If you don't have orange, just go with vermilion. It will be a bit more darker than this. That's only difference, but that's still okay. This one is orange from cenar. Now coming to the second color is red. It's another bold and beautiful color. This one is called pyrol red. It's from the brand Shinhan. See that? It's a very bright and bold red. Now, there's one more color you will need for the sky, which is brown. I won't be using brown acids for the sky. I'm going to make some brown and red together to create a dark reddish brown. That's a color you see on the top. Now along with this, you will need one more color, which is paints gray. We'll be using this color for the mountain. Now, along with these four colors, you will also need some white watercolor or white case to add the sun. Okay that's some rise, all the colors you will need for this gorgeous sunset. Here is a closer look of all the swatches. You will need some orange, red, brown or burn Cena, and paints gray. And also a little of white. Now, before we start, I'm going to explain all the steps. We will first add the sketch, and then we will start with the sky. So towards the bottom over here, we'll be applying some orange. And then write about that, we will introduce some red over here. Then towards the top to make the sky more intense. We will introduce some taco toones. Using the same taco toon, we'll also be adding some clouds. We'll be using a mix of brown and red to add those taco toons and the clouds. That's the first step painting the sky. Keep in mind the colors can be slightly different as we're mixing and creating them. Now the second step is to paint this part of the mountain. Onto this side, which is closer to the sun, we will introduce some brown and reddish tones, and towards the extreme end, we will add some taco toones. Okay, that's a first set of mountain. Now we have one more to paint. Once that is dried, we will go with a second set of mountain, which is in the foreground. For this over here, we will use more red to create that glowing effect. For the rest, we will introduce some brown and some paints gray to make the contrast more intense. Finally, once we are done adding the mountains, we will introduce that sun using white gash or white watercolor. So those are the steps involved. It's a quick and beautiful sunset. Now, if you're ready to give it a try, keep all the colors ready on your palette and let's give it a try. We already spoke about the colors. I'm hoping you guys have it ready on your palette. Now, the very first step is to add the sketch. We need to add two sets of mountain. I'm starting with a one in the f ground. This is where I will add the sun. Now I'm going to take that to the top, giving it an interesting shape. Now finishing it off. Next, we can add the second mountain in the background. That's a sketch. It's a very simple one. You can modify the shape of your mountain, however you like. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. Before I start applying the paint, maybe I will add the sun as well. That's where we're going to introduce a sun. When you're applying the paint, you have to keep that in mind. As we discussed, you will need some orange, red, and brown for the sky. Keep all the colors ready on your palette before you start. Once you have them ready, you can start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky using any of your clean brush. This one is a 1 " white brush, and I'm applying a gentle coat of water onto the sky. I'm leaving the mountains as it is. See that. I'm applying water around the mountain. That is evenly wet. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside, and I'm switching to my size number en tres. This is the one I'll be using to apply the paint onto the background. The first color I'm going to pick is orange, go the bright tone of orange, and apply that over here where I have the sun. Carefully apply the paint along the outline of the mountain. Only over here, we need some orange. Go the brighter tone, don't make it too light. We want a bold and beautiful sunset. Make sure to go the brighter tones in the first layer itself. Otherwise, by the time it dries, the colors will be dull. I'm adding some more orange. I want it to be really intense. That's our first color. I'm spreading that a bit more. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some red, and I'm going to introduce that next to orange. It doesn't need to be a clean, perfect blend. For now, simply introduce the paint onto the background. Then we can fix it later. We have applied orange and red. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some brown, and I'm mixing that with red, and I'm going to add that color into the sky next. See that. The red is much more intense now. We started off with orange then red, and now we're using a mix of red and brown. I think we can make it a bit more darker by adding a little of paints gray, not a lot, just a little. Into the same mix of red and brown, I'm adding a little of paints gray, and that's a color I'm using on the top. Compare to the bottom, I want the colors to be more intense on the top. That's why I'm using a mix of paint scrape brown and red. That's a footstep. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some lines onto the background. If the color is not dark enough, we can add some more brown into the mix. Now, simply add some lines onto the background. I feel there isn't much red in my background. I'm going to clean my brush and I'm switching back to red. I will introduce some more red over here. The color is not too bright. Now I'm happy with the red, but not that happy with orange. So I'm going to clean my brush again. Then I will go with orange. And I will add that as well. This is just to make the colors more intense. Otherwise, with watercolor when it dries, it will tend to fade a little. I want the colors to be really bright and intense. Even after the background has dried up, that is the main reason why I'm introducing the paint again. If you want to add some more lines or if you want to blend the colors, you could do that at this point. Our background is still very wet. Maybe if you want to add some more lines and clouds onto the background, you could do that using that darker tone. Or if you want to leave it acts, and that is totally fine. Don't touch the orange part. That is the most important part of this painting. The rest you can modify as you like. So I'm picking more brown and I'm mixing that with red to create a darker brown or a reddish brown, and with that color, I'm going to add some more lines onto the background. In a very random way. I'm not disturbing the bottom part much where we have orange and red. I'm focusing more on the top part. You can add them however you like. If you're already happy with the result, you don't need to add them again. I don't have any paint scy left on my palette. For the time being, I'm taking a little of indico because by the time I square some paint scray and mix the color, my background might dry up, so I don't want to take a chance. That's why I'm using indico here. I'm really loving the vibrancy of the colors here. We have some bold and beautiful orange and red at the bottom. On the top to create that contrast, even more beautiful, we're introducing some darker tones. That's how the sky has turned out. I'm really happy with the vibrant colors we have got here. Now let's wait for this to dry before we go to the next step. Okay, so that's completely. Now, we're going to paint the set of mountain in the background. And for that, you will need some brown and paints gray. This is the one I'm talking about, and after that, we can paint the F ground mountain. But I don't have enough paints gray on my palette. So let me squeeze out that first. For this mountain, we're going to use three colors, a little of red, then brown and paints gray. If you don't have brown, go with burn Cena. I'm starting off by picking some brown. I will go with a darker tone, and I'm adding that along the outline. That's the tonal value I'm going with. Don't make it too light. Go with a similar tonal value. Before I go with paints gray, I think I will add some red onto the right side. Just a little over here. This side is closer to the sun. Only on this side, introduce some red. The rest is going to be brown and paints gray. All right. Now I'm going to pick more brown. I will add that again. Then for the rest, I'm going to add paints gray. This side has to be darker compared to the right. For the mountain in the Fokrond asphalt, we're going to follow a similar pattern. Closer to the sun, we will introduce some red and orange, and for the rest, we will use brown and paints gray. It is much more bigger compared to the mountain we painted right now, so we have to be quick. Let's leave this for drying before we go to the Forond mountain. Oh. All right, so that has dried. Now it's time to paint the other mountain. This is the major area you have to be careful about. And to paint that, I'm going with a mix of orange and a bit of red. Okay, so just make some orange with red and use that color over here. So only to this area, which is closer to the sun, we have to introduce this reddish color. Follow the outline and add some paint over here. You can see the color is quite intense. It is not too light. We can add a bit more, and then we can go with brown. That's a foot step. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some brown. Again, I'm going with an intense tote. It's not too light. Around the area where we have red. Keep on adding some brown. If you don't have brown, just like I mentioned earlier, go with burn Cena. Once you have added red and brown, maybe before you go ahead with the next color, you can smug it. I'm picking my other brush, and I'm picking a little of red and I'm smudging this part. If it dries, it will be difficult to smudge it. I think this is the best time. Right now, we have smudged red and brown, and that is looking really nice. Now we can introduce more brown, and gradually to the extreme corners, we can add some pins gray as well. Okay. I'm picking some pins gray, and I'm adding that onto these extreme sides. See that. Only when you introduce paints gray, it will look complete. Earlier the contrast wasn't very visible. Now it is starting to look better. Now onto the other side asphle, we have to add some paints gray. I think we will have to smudge it again because the colors are looking too weird. It doesn't look like a mountain. It is looking like different color patches. I'm going to quickly switch back to my other brush and I'm picking some brown, I'm going to smudge the color quickly before it dries up. I think we'll have to introduce some more right to smudge it. I'm cleaning my brush, picking some clean brown, and I'm adding that over here. Next, I will have to clean my brush again. And then I will go with red. And I'm adding that over here to smudge it. It doesn't need to be a smooth, perfect plant. Overall, it has to look like a mountain. It shouldn't look like different patches of colors. That's the only thing. If you want to introduce more orange or red, you could do that. That's how it has turned out. I think it is looking quite decent. I don't want to overdo and ruin it. I'm going to call it done. That's how it has turned out. It is already glowing. Now, there's one more step left, which is adding the sun. But before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. All right, my dear friend, so that is dried completely. Now we're going to go ahead with the final step, which is adding the sun. For that, you can either go with some white gas or white water color. Both will work. We just need to go with an opaque paint. Don't add a lot of water. I'm picking some paint directly with my brush. I haven't added much water. We ad a paint, which is in opaque. You can add one or two drops of water just so that you can pick the paint, but not so much. Now with that white paint, I'm going to add the sun. On the top, you have a semi scar shape and towards the bottom, you have to follow the same shape of your mountain. See that. Now we can fill it up. Be careful. Don't make it too big, go the similar size. I'm nearly done, filling it up. I'm super happy with the result. The colors are really beautiful. Also, I feel adding that setting sun, give it a finished look and it is looking more gorgeous now. I feel the shape is not clean. I'm making that a clean half circle. If you would like to, you can also add some birds flying in the sky. Even that will be a great addition. You can add a group of three or four pers. Small ones. Anyway, that's all for the day, we are done with our painting. I cannot tell you how much I love this color combination. It is bright and beautiful. Anyways, now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Peel it off only when you're sure your painting has dried completely. Otherwise, it might rip off your paper. Also peel off the masking tape at an ankle very gently. All right, so here is our gorgeous sunset for the day. Beautiful ride. If you are still watching the video, and if you haven't tried it yet, go give it a try right away, and let me know if you liked it. Okay, so thank you so much for joining me today. I'll be back soon with our next gorgeous sky. 6. DAY 02 - Pink Clouds: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day two of painting quick and beautiful watercolor skies. Now, here's the paint that we're going to try today. It's a beautiful pink cloudy sky. I just loved the way it has turned out. So here's the reference image I came across. I wasn't really sure whether I'll be able to pull off those pink clouds. I gave it a try and I really liked it. And then I thought of adding that into this class because it's unusual color combination, and it's really pretty too. Anyway, let's have a look at the colors you will need. And then let's give it a try. For this painting, you will only need three colors, and I think they are quite obvious. For the sky, you will need pink and turquoise blue. These are the two colors you will need for the sky. The turquoise blue I'm going to use here is from white knight. We will use a medium tone for the sky, and we'll apply that color around the clouds. Okay. So that's the kind of tonal value I will be using. Now, the second color is basal pink. This one is called brilliant pink. It is from Shinhan. If you don't have a Pasal pink, just have a look at the color palette section. I have explained how you can create a Pasal pink quite easily. So that's a second color you will need. Now, there's one more color you will need for the sky. OI is a mix of these two colors. I'll just be mixing some pink with turquoise blue to create a shadow violet kind of a color. See that? Just to add some shadows and textures onto the sky. I will be using a mix of turquoise blue and pink, and here's the color you will get when you mix these two colors. The color can be a bit different according to the amount of pink turquoise blue you're adding, and that's totally fine. Don't worry about it. Now, there's one more color you will need, which is pins gray. To add those palm trees, you will need a daker tone. It could be black or pins gray. That summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. Here is a closer look. You will need turquoise blue, pastel pink, and also paints gray. I will quickly explain the steps that we will follow before we start. So first, I'm going to start the turquoise blue. We'll apply that onto a wet background by leaving some shapes in between, and that will eventually turn into the clouds. Onto those gaps, we are going to apply some pink. Then we will introduce some shadow sapo. Okay. So you can go with any kind of shapes that you need for your clouds. It can be similar shape or a different one. That's totally fine. Once the sky is ready, we will use paint scray and we'll add those palm trays onto the background to give it a more complete look. Okay, so those are the steps involved. Now, let's give it a try. Okay, so my paper is ready here. Now, before you start, you have to make sure you have the colors ready on your palette. You will need turquoise blue and pink. Those are the first two colors you will need. Okay, so keep them ready on your palette. I also have a rough idea about how you want to place your clouds. How big you want them to be or what is the kind of shape you want to go with? Okay, so the preps over. Now, I'm going to start by applying coat of water onto the entire sky. Don't add a lot. We just need a gentle coat of water. Make sure your brush is clean before you start applying water. And run your brush multiple times just to be sure the coat of water is even, and it has reached everywhere. My background is evenly wet. Now, before you start, you have to make sure you have a paper towel next to you or a cotton cloth. Just in case if you're paint is two watery, you can dab it on a paper towel and make it perfect. Now let's start applying the paint. I'm going to use my size number eight on tres I'm starting by picking a medium tone of turquoise blue. Add some water and turn that into a medium tone. If it's to watery dab it on a paper towel. Now I'm going to add some paint onto the sky, leaving some shapes in between. I'm starting from the top right corner, and I'm leaving some space in between. It is these white spaces which will eventually turn into pink clouds. So whatever kind of the shape you want, leave it that way. I have one on the left, and then I have another one on the right. You can modify the shape as you like. Now I'm going to bring that paint down, and then I will add an irregular shape here. Then I will also leave some space at the bottom. Okay, that's a kind of shape I have gone in with. You can modify it however you like. If you want to introduce some more paint in between, if you feel it's too light, you could do that as well. Okay, so that's the first step. I need to switch to pink before the background dries. Okay. Now I'm going to clean my brush. Then I'm going to switch to pink, dab it on a paper towel and be sure it is clean. Okay. Now I'm picking some pink paint on my brush. I will go with a lighter tone, and I'm going to introduce that onto these in between spaces. So simply add that in. That's the kind of tonal value I'm going with. Now, when you're over here, closer to turquoise blue, it will automatically create a violet color over there, and that is totally fine. It will end up looking like the shadow of the clouds. It's actually a good thing while we're adding the paint, we are automatically introducing some shadows there. But there are chances your brush might have become a bit dirty. So dab it on a paper towel before you pick pink again, or you can wash it off. I'm adding some more pink over here. The background is still very wet. Now I'm going to add that over here. Onto that space, we have in between. Add some pink paint. Simply add that in. As the background is still wet, they will nicely spread into each other. Leaving a beautiful cloud. Don't put a lot of pressure. Simply add that in. That's a second cloud. Now let's apply paint at the bottom as well. Whenever you're adding the paint, be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure. That will leave some brush marks. Use the tip of your brush and add in the paint. Looks like this part has dried a bit. I'm just going to push that paint into the blue. Anyway, I'll be adding some shadows over here. So it doesn't really matter. You can add the pink paint on top of blue as well. It's not a problem. Okay. So we have some more area left here. All right. So we have introduced pink everywhere. Now, to give it more three dimensional feel, we need to add some shadows using violet. Mix some chircise blue and pink, and then keep on adding some shadows onto the clouds. We can add few at the bottom and also over here along the bottom side of the cloud. So mix up some irquise blue and pink together and create a piecel violet. Here is how the color should look like. Now, simply add that in along the bottom side of the cloud. The background is still wet. So it just dropped that in onto the background. Let's add few over here as well. Okay. You can add them however you want to. It doesn't matter. If you add more darker shadows, it will look more dramatic. If you go with lighter violet, it will look simple and minimalist. So it's your call. You can't decide on how you want your clouds to be. Now, I'm going to pick a slightly darker tone of the same color, and I will add that at the bottom again. And also a few over here. Okay. Wherever you have the clouds, you can introduce some shadows like this. You can spread that a bit into the blue part as well to give it a more natural feel. That's how I have introduced all the shadows. Now it is looking a bit prominent. I'm going to clean my brush. I will dab it on a paper towel. Then I'm going to pick a little of pink with the same brush. Just a little, not a lot. Again, make sure it does not do watering. Now with that paint, gently smug these areas. Don't touch the top, leave it acid is. Gently smudge the paint over here, to give it a softer look. Make sure you're not rubbing and scrubbing the paint too vigorously, be very gentle. That's how it has turned out. Now let's do the same thing over here. I think the rest is looking quite good. Maybe we can introduce some more shadows there. I love the color combination and that let shadow is going very well together. All right, so that's a sky. I don't want to overdo and row in it. So I'm going to call it done. Now, when the background dries up, the clouds are going to turn really soft and fluffy, and I'm really waiting for that. So let's take a short break and come back when this has dried completely. The background has tried completely, and you can see how beautiful they have turned out. Now the next task is to add some palm trees. For that, I'm going to pick some paints gray. I will go the darker tom, and the brush I'm using here is size number six. Go any of your smaller or medium sized brush. Now the first step is to add a line. It can be a straight line or a slightly irregular line. That's the height of your palm tree. Towards the bottom, you can make it slightly thicker and towards the top, it has to be a bit thinner. Okay. I'm making it a little more thicker towards the top. If you don't have pin screen, you can also use black. You can add your tree wherever you want to. It doesn't need to be on the same location. You can add that on to the left or maybe towards the center. I have added a line there. Now towards the top, I'm going to add some irregular shapes. We're adding that tree texture. Just add some irregular lines and some palms on either side and make it look rough and messy. See that? We just need them on the top. Keep adding some lines onto either side and turn it into something like this. The kind of palm tree we're painting here is called fan palm. Now on the tip, I'm going to add some curvy lines, some simple curvy lines. I'm picking more paint. And I'm going to add five or six coveer lines. The first one goes over there. Now next to that, I'm adding another one. In a similar way, you can add five or six or seven or eight of them. I've added three, four, five. I think I can add one more towards the left. I have added six lines. It can be seven or eight. It doesn't matter. Now onto these lines onto the tip, I'm going to add some messy lines. Onto either side, keep on adding some lines. They don't need to be perfectly shaped. It can be messy. Now in a similar way, we need to fill up all the lines. Let's go the next one. Only on the tip add these lines and leave half of it empty. That's a third one. Keep on adding these messy lines and fill it up. This kind of palm tree is much more easier than the coconut trees. It's easy and it will look more realistic than the other one. You can do it quite quickly as well. Maybe we can add one more line in between. I'm adding one there to make it look more tense. That's a first palm tree. Now you can add more lines like this to make it look fuller. This one is done. I think it turned out really beautiful. Now, I'm going to add one more maybe towards the left side, closer to this tree, I'm placing it over here, and this line is slightly irregular, not a straight line like Da one. And it is shorter as well. That's a high time going. Now, just like I mentioned earlier, you can place your tree wherever you want to. You can go with a taller tree or a shorter tree. Just follow the same technique and add a tree wherever you like. Now I'm adding those irregular shapes onto the top, and I'm making this part thicker. Now the next step is to add those curvy lines onto the top. You can add as many as you like. Then right after that, we need to introduce those messy lines onto the tip. And with that, we'll be done with our painting. Now it looks like a spider. We need to introduce those lines onto the tip to make it look like a pump tree. This one is a very easy way to paint a palm tree. You can use it on your other painting sap. You can paint some nice skies and add these trees. You can actually paint a bright blue, cloudy sky with some white clouds and then paint the same tree in green. Use different tonal values of Sap creen when you're adding these palm leaves and use burn Cena or brown for the tree trunk. I think that will also be really beautiful. So yeah, give it a try if you're interested. Anyway, with this, we are done with our painting for day two. Here's a finished painting. I just loved it. Now if you want to add another tree, you could do that. Maybe onto this corner, you can add a tall tree. All right, so that's all for the day. Now it's time to pull up the masking tape. And here is the finished painting. You can see those beautiful pink clouds. Lovely, right. It's a stunning color combination. So give it a try if we get to try it. And let me know if you enjoyed painting this beautiful, cloudy sky. 7. DAY 03 - Colorful Sky: Hello, Lowes. Welcome to Day three of painting quick and beautiful at color skies. Our painting for the day is a multi colored sky. It's a super standing sky, and you could do this quite easily. It is just a matter of applying those five colors onto the sky and adding some clouds while it is still wet. Now, before I take you through the colors, let me show you the reference mes I considered. Here it is. The colors are absolutely inspired from this photograph. There are more foreground elements in the photograph. I simplified them to fit in our 15 minute scheduo. But yeah, I tried to bring out the same kind of vibe for the sky. And I think I did maybe 60% gestice to the photograph. Anyway, now let's have a look at the colors you will need. As you can see here, it's a multicolored sky. On the top, I have some blue, then some violet here, then some rose, orange and yellow. So for the sky, we're going to use five colors. I will start with the blue. This one is Cobalt blue. Here is the color. It is from art philosophy. You can go with any blue of your choice. It could be Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, cellu blue, or any other blue. So that's a first color. Now, coming to the second color, it is permanent rose. If you don't have rose, you can go with crimson or carmine. Now, the color you see in between, that violet is a mix of these two colors. All right, so we have cobalt blue and permanent rose. Now the next color you will need is orange. This one is called brilliant orange. It is from Shinhan. You can go with any orange you have caught, or you can use some vermilion instead. So we spoke about blue rose. Then there we have a mix of these two colors. Then we also have orange. Now the last color you will need is yellow. Towards a mountain, I'll be using some yellow. This one is cadmium yellow light. You can go with any yellow. It doesn't matter. For the sky, you will need five colors, blue, rose, violet, orange and yellow. Okay. Now, for the mountain, over here, I will be using some yellow, then towards the other end, I will use some cabal blue. And in between, when those two colors are getting mixed, you will get a green. And for the meadow, I will use some sap cream. For the meadow as well, we will need some yellow towards the left side. To add those lighter tones. Okay. Now, along with this, we will also need some paints gray to add the deeper tones towards the right side. All right. So that summarize all the colors you will need for this beautiful multiclored sky. We will need some blue, rose, orange, yellow, sap green, and paints gray. Before we start, let's quickly have a look at the steps involved. We already spoke about the colors. We'll apply blue on the top, then some pink, orange, and some yellow towards the bottom. The major focus is on the left side. When we're painting the mountain, and in the meadow, we'll make that area lighter. We'll start with the sky, then the mountain, and then the meadow. It is not a complicated painting. The only thing you might feel a bit tricky would be the sky because of the colors we are using, there are too many colors, but we'll be adding clouds only on the top, using these two colors. We'll go with a mix of rose and blue to create a color which is more like purple, and using that color, we will add some clouds. That's it. Now, let's give it a try. I'm starting by adding the sketch. We need to add a line and irregular line, which is sloping towards the left. Next, we need to add a mountain right behind this. That's a mountain in the background. Go with the really light pencil sketch. Don't make it too dark, especially on the left side. If it's too dark, the pencil sketch will be seen even after we have applied the paint. Over here, go with a very light pencil sketch, or can just erase this part and you can add it as painting. So that's a sketch. Now, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. You will need some blue, rose, orange and yellow. It is very, very important to have all the colors ready on your palette before you start. So when you have them ready, you can start applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Apply a nice general coat of water. And make it even wet. That's my sky. I have applied a clean coat of water. Now, what I'm going to do is, I will go with my size number e tron press and I'm picking a medium tone of Copal plu. This is the first color I'm starting with. I'm applying that on the top part of the sky. Okay. So apply that onto the wet background. Go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too light or too dark. You can apply the paint, however you like. It can be a straight line or an irregular shape. Now, I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm going to pick some rose with the same brush, and I will mix that with blue to create a violet or more light purple. I have added more rose into it. Now, I'm adding that color right next to blue. You can go with violet or purple. It's roly your choice. I want a purplish color, so I'm adding more rose into the mix, and that's a color I'm going with. Now let's clean up brush again. This time, let's pick some clean rose without any blue in it. And I'm adding that right after this purple. Now blended gently. We have blue, purple, and rose. Next, we are going to switch to orange. Let's clean up brush again. And I'm going to pick some orange. I'm adding orange only towards a right over here. Onto the other side, I will be introducing some yellow. There is orange. I have added some over the right side. There is a lot of paint on my brush. I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. I'm gently smudging that with rose. Okay. Next, we have to go the yellow. It's time to clean the brush again. Let's pick some yellow, some clean yellow. This one is cadmium yellow light. Go with any yellow of your choice. Now, introduce some yellow closer to the orange. Don't fill the tire area. Towards a mountain, we have to make it lighter. Okay. So just add a little. Now clean your brush. And go with some water and make it lighter towards a mountain. That's a base layer. It turned out really beautiful. Now, in case, if you want to introduce some orange or rose or violet, you can do that right now. Our next step is to add some clouds onto this background, mostly onto the top. And for that, I'm going back with purple. I'm using a smaller brush, this one is size number six, and I'm picking some purple, the same color we created earlier. And with that, I'm adding some clouds onto the area where I have blue. Just a few smaller clouds. I'm not going to add a lot. Now, just in case if we don't want to add any clouds onto the sky, that's totally fine. I think it's already looking very pretty. So there is no real need to add the clouds. Only if you want to make it a little more dramatic, you can go with some clouds. Okay. So I've added some clouds on the top. I'm adding more pink into the mix. I mean rose into the mix, and I will add a few more clouds over here. Okay. So it's more like a darker rose than purple. L et's add a few more here, and maybe towards Other side ash. Maybe with the same color, we can add some clouds on to the top. I'm really liking this color, and my background is still wet, which is very important. If you feel like your background is starting to dry, you can call it done. It is always better not to touch it if it is starting to dry. I've added some clouds on the top. I think I can add a few more towards the bottom. I'm cleaning my brush, and I will pick some more rows. I'm just adding one or two clouds towards the bottom. Just a few, not a lot. I'm very happy with the way has turned out, so I don't want to overdo and ruin it because I have the habit of over working on things and ruining, which was looking decent as Hawaii. So that's my sky. It's a beautiful color compoion, and it turned out really well. I loved the clouds as well. Now we have to wait for this to dry before we go to the next step. Okay, so that is right completely. Now, our next task is to paint the mountain. Now, for the mountain, over here, we will use more of yellowish colors, and towards the other end, we will use blue. I'm starting with blue. It's the same blue I use for the sky. It's Cobal blue, and I'm going to apply that onto the right most side. As we have other colors in the background, some orange and yellow, the color might look a bit different. It wouldn't look exactly like blue, and that is totally fine. You can see the result here. This one is more like a darker green than blue. Now I'm going to use the same color, and I will apply that a bit more. After that, I will co with yellow. Over here, we have a lighter yellow in the background, and that's the reason why the color is looking a little lighter. On the right side, it is more of orange, and the color is much more darker. Now with the same sh, I'm picking some yellow. The same yellow I use for the sky. This one is cadmium yellow. Take a little of that and start applying that from here. First apply yellow and smudge that with blue. You can see we have got a green there. Now I'm applying the same color towards the bottom. Now, let's clean up the brush, and towards the top, we can introduce some clean yellow. Go with a lighter tone. Don't make it too bright. So the only two colors we have used here is Cobalt Plue and yellow. We started off with Cobalt blue. We applied that towards the right. Then towards the left, we introduce some yellow, and this is how it has turned out. Applying a lighter tone of yellow over here is really important to create that glowing effect. So that is one thing you have to be careful about. The rest isn't that complex. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go with the meadow. Okay, so we have the sky and the mountain ready. Next, we can paint the meadow. The first color you will need is a lighter green, so I'm picking some yellow, and I'm mixing that with a bit of Sab green a little bit. Now I'm going to apply that color onto the left. I'm planning to make this side lighter and the right side is going to be darker compared to the side. To retain that glowing effect, it is really important to use lighter tones on the left side. Okay. So that's a lighter tone of green. Now with the same brush, I will pick some more sap cream, and I will apply that onto the right side. So on the left, go the similar tonal value. Don't use some medium tone or darker tone. Now I'm picking some sap cream, and I'm retaining some of the lighter tone over here. See that. Simply introduce your sap cream on to the rest of the area. Then after that, we'll have to add some more tucker tones. For now, simply fill that in with sap cream. Okay. So we have a lighter tone on the left, a medium tone on the right. Next, we need to smudge the colors to give it a more softer look. I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel, and with a slightly dry brush, I'm smudging the paint in and out. Let's pick some more green and add a few lines to introduce some textures. But around the top line, you still have to retain those lighter tones. Okay. Now I'm going to pick some pain screen, and I will add that towards the right. The idea is to have lighter tones on the left, where you have the sun. Then onto the other side, you can add more taco tones and medium tones. In order to make that glowing effect more prominent, you need to add more taco tones. Only if you have that contrast, it will look more beautiful. Now I'm going to add in a few more lines. I'm not going to touch the top part. I want to retain the lighter tones actus. You can add the darker tones on the right and some medium tones towards the center. So I'm adding a few more lines using green. I think that's it. It looks quite good. We retain that glowing effect on the left, and then we have added some medium tones and darker tones towards the right. Maybe just onto the right side, I can add some more darker tones. I'm picking some more paints gray. I feel this area is not dark enough. The rest I will leave actus only over here. I'm adding some paints gray. Okay. So that is said, that's our painting for the day. I just loved the way it has turned out, especially the glowing effect. I hope you all enjoyed it, too. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Before you peel off the masking tape, always make sure your painting has dried completely. Otherwise, when you peel off the masking tape, the paper can come off along with that, and you won't be able to get a clean border. Also when you're peeling off the masking tape, gently peel it at an ankle like this, Don't peel off in a rush that might spoil your painting. Always be very gentle and peel it off at an ankle. All right, so here is our painting for the day. It's a beautiful sky. We have used five colors for the sky, and it turned out really beautiful. And even the mountain and the meadow, I think the fou ground elements are going very well with the colors of the sky. I absolutely loved it. Give it a try if I get to try it, and I would love to know if you enjoyed it, too. 8. Day 04 - Seaside Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day four of painting beautiful watercolor skies. Here's the painting that we're going to try today. First, I'll show the reference MT considered. The major difference here is that I introduced some indico on the top. Otherwise, our painting will quite dull. Okay. Now let's have a look at the colors we will need for this painting. The sky is a color combination of indico and yellow. Then on to that, we will add some cloud orange. Okay. So the first color you will need for the sky is indico. For the C as well, we'll be using a medium tone of indico. This one is indigo from art philosophy. If you don't want to use indigo, you can use press blue or any other blue of your choice. Now, for this painting, I will be using two yellows. One is Naples yellow. Naples yellow compared to other yellows, is a safer color to use along with the blues for the sky. This is the second color. It's a pasil yellow. Now the next yellow you will need is any of the bright yellows you have caught. You can also go with one yellow that can be Naples yellow. This one here is cadmium yellow light. I wanted a brighter yellow as well for the sky. That's why I thought of using two yellows. Okay, so we have Naples yellow and dmu yellow. Now the next one you will need is any kind of orange. This one is brilliant orange. You can use vermilion or any other color you have caught. Okay, so these are the four colors we will be using for the sky. Now the next two colors are quite obvious. You will need brown and paints gray for the rocks. This one is permanent brown. Again, from art philosophy. If you don't have brown, just go with boncena. The next one you will need is paint scray to add all the deeper tones. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Here is a closer look of the swatches. You will need indico, Naples yellow, and one brighter yellow, then some orange, brown or Burnsena, and paints gray. Now, I'm going to quickly explain the steps involved so that you have a better idea on how to approach the project. The first step is to paint the sky. We will start with indico. On the top, we'll use a medium tone, then we'll make it lighter. Then over here, we will use yellow. Only around the mountain over here, we'll have to use a lighter tone of yellow. The rest is going to be a medium tone. It's just to create that glowing effect. Then onto that layer, we will add in these clouds using orange. That's how the sky is going to be. Then we will go with the sea. For that asphalt, we will use indico. We'll use a medium tone, then we will add in all those textures. Then finally, we will paint these rocks. Only for this one at the center, we will have to put in some more effort to create that gluing effect. Over here, we'll use orange, brown, and paints gray. The rest is going to be just paints gray. Those are the steps we have to follow. I hope we all got a better idea. Now let's give it try. Let's start with the sketch. First, you will need to add the horizon line. Okay? Now we need to add some rocks onto the background. First, I'm adding a huge one at the center. So you can go with any shape and you can compose your painting however you want. Okay. Go with an irregular shape to make it look more natural. That's the first one. Now, right next to this, I'm going to add another one over here. We can modify the sheep when we're painting. For now, just add some random shapes like this. That's a sketch. We have it ready. Now, before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. We will need indico, in Aples yellow, then a bright yellow, and also some orange. These are the colors we will need for the sky. When you have them ready, start by applying coat of water onto the entire sky. Don't add a lot. We only need a shiny coat of water. Okay, so my sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. And for that, I'm going to go with my size number eight ram brush. Go with a flat brush or ram brush, any brush you prefer. Make sure it is clean. Now, start by applying a medium tone on the top of the sky. That looks a bit dark. I'll just make it a bit more lighter. Okay. So start with the medium tone and make it lighter as you come down. Towards the bottom, we want the blue to be really light. Otherwise, when we're applying yellow, it will turn into a muddy green. Okay, so that is indico. Now, I'm going to thoroughly wash my brush. Once you're sure, there is no leftover indico on your brush. Pick some Naples yellow and start applying that at the bottom part of the sky. When you're applying yellow, there is one thing you have to be careful about. We are going to apply color from either side toward the center. At the center, we're going to leave some white space acids. Over here, right about the huge rock. We need some white space. Keep applying your paint from either side towards the center. You can simply add some lines onto that wet background. And also start with a light tone of yellow. If you dab a brush on a paper towel, you will see some greenish color, see that. Always start with a lighter tone, and then gradually, you can keep on building the intensity. See that. Begin with a lighter tone always, and then keep on building the color. You still have to retain that lighter tone at the center. That is really important. Next, I'm going to pick some brighter yellow and I will apply that onto the sky from either side, just the same way how I did earlier. See that. I'm not going to apply any onto the top. Over there, I want that lighter yellow. Okay. So that is yellow and blue. Next, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm switching to some orange. We're not going to use an intense orange. We need a patel orange. So with my smaller brush, I'm going to pick some Naples yellow first. And then into that, I will add a drop of orange. So that's a color I'll be using to add the clouds. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Now, let's add in the clouds. I want some smaller clouds here and there. I'm not going to add a lot. I want a simple sky. So go the similar tonal value. We don't need a bright orange. And also remember to retain that lighter tone at the center. Don't add any paint over there. So with all the skys that you're painting, you have the chance to make it dramatic or simple. If you added more clouds, more bigger, and darker clouds, it will become dramatic. And on the other hand, if you're using some soft pasal colors, your sky will look more simple and minimalist. Okay, over here, I'm just adding a few clouds, using a pasal orange. You can see they are not very dramatic. Now, I will add a few towards the top as well. Okay. Over here. I will just add one or two smaller clouds. I don't want to make it look too dramatic. Okay. Maybe a smaller one right next to that. And also, if you have noticed, I'm adding these clouds, only where I have a lighter blue. I'm not adding them towards the top. Okay. So this way, it doesn't create a muddy color in my sky. It will stay as nice, beautiful colors. Okay. Now if you want to add some more, you could do that. Otherwise, we have done with a sky. Okay, so the sky has dried beautifully. Next, we can go with the sea. Use any of your medium sized trush and go with the medium tone of indico. Go with the medium tone. It should not be too dark or too light. That looks really dark. I'm adding some more water. This one looks fine. Go the similar tonal value and apply that onto the entire background. First, we'll apply a solid wash of indico onto the entire background. Then we can start introducing some textures and some waves onto the background. For now, simply go with a similar tonal value and fill up the entire background. If you accidentally add some paint onto the rocks, that's totally fine. But the one right next to the sky, the bigger one here, try to leave it actus. Don't add any paint onto that. The other ones are fine, you can just ignore it. That is indico. I will quickly smudge it the way I have applied the color doesn't look really nice. That is indigo. Now I'm going to go with my smaller brush. This one is size number six, and I'm picking a slightly darker tone of indico. Not too dark, just one to darker. With that, I'm adding some lines onto the background. The same with background. See that? Simply add some lines to create some texture. We'll be adding more at the end when this layer has dried. For now, you don't need to put a lot of effort. You can simply co a slightly darker tone and add some lines onto the background. Maybe we can add one more round of lines using a little more darker tone of int Code. Okay, Let's add some more lines. They can be longer ones or shorter ones. It doesn't matter. And the background is wet, so they will spread a little, and that is also fine. Okay, I think for now, this is looking fine. Now, the only task left is to paint the rocks, but for that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. Okay, so that has dried completely. Next, we can start painting the rocks. So first, I'm going to paint the one next to the sky, and I'm starting with orange. I will apply orange along the top line. So this is the area which is closer to the sun, and there will be some sunlight hitting on it. So to represent that, we'll have to start with some orange. And then you can go with brown or burn Cena. Go the slightly darker tome. Don't add a lot of water because we're painting an evening scene, so the colors will be more darker. Now apply that next to orange and smudge it together. Only on the top, we need some orange. The rest is going to be brown or burn scena. O, which will be the color you have caught. Now, gradually, we will add some takton asp. We will make some paint scray with brown, and we will add that along the bottom to make the contrast more intense. Right now, we have only used orange and brown. You can smudge the colors. It doesn't need to be a proper blend or anything, just mudg it. That is orange and brown. Now I'm going to pick some paint scray with the same brush. And apply that along the bottom part right over here. On the top, we have to retain that orange and brownish tones. Only towards the bottom, we want to introduce some taker tones. This will create a nice contrast and make that glue more prominent. Simply apply some taker tones on either side and also at the bottom, then smudge it into the background. I'm picking some brown to make the smudging more easier. If there is a lot of paint, you can dab it on a paper towel and then smudge it. Be very gentle when you're smudging the paint. Don't put a lot of pressure. That will leave some brush marks. That's how it has turned out. If you want to add some more darker tones towards the bottom, you could do that. Or I think we can continue with the rest of the rocks. I'm picking paints gray actus, and I'm going to apply that for this rock here. Only for the one at the top, which is closer to the sun and the sky, I have some brown and orange. For the rest, I'm just going with a darker tone. I feel I didn't add much darker tones, especially at the bottom. I'm introducing rag. Just along the bottom, I will add some ataco tones. Then I will continue with the rest. I'm adding some paint scray for this one here. Now, maybe for the rest, we can go the Daco brown. For the next one, the one on the left side, I'm just adding paints gray acts. I'm not adding any brown. Goth in irregular shape and simply fill that an tire rock and paints gray. You can see the way it is turning out. Only for the one at the center, we used orange and brown to create a glowing effect. For the rest, we didn't put much effort. Now, I'm picking some brown and I'm filling up this remaining area. I won't be adding any more textures or details onto this. It's a simple painting and our major focus is on the sky, not on the f ground elements. I think this one is looking quite good. We'll need to add some more textures on the sea using a taco tone. But before that, if you want to modify your rocks, if you want to change the shape a little, you could do that right now. Also, if you want to add one or two extra rocks using a taco tone, that also can be done. This is how it is looking right now. I think I will modify the shapes a little, and also I might add a smaller rock towards the left. I'm just modifying the shape. Go to the very messy irregular line to make it look more realistic. I'm actually very much impressed with the sky. The color combination is really stunning. Earlier, honestly, I wasn't that impressed when we have only painted the sky. But with the full crown elements, I think it is looking really beautiful. Anyways, that is done. Next I'm going to add one more rock towards the left side over here. A smaller one. You can go with any shape and any size. I'm going with a smaller one. All right, so that's done. We have all the rocks in place. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm going with a smaller brush, the smaller size number two. And I'm going back with indigo. And with that, I'm going to add some more lines onto the background. You can just randomly add some straight lines or wavy lines onto the background. I feel the s lacks texture. There isn't enough texture in the background. To introduce those textures, we are adding some lines. They can be longer or shorter. It doesn't matter. But go to the smaller brush and add as many as you can. I'm adding few on the top. Few over here onto the small part. Now at the bottom as well. The rocks are still wet. It hasn't dried, and I'm being very careful here. Okay, so simply add some lines onto the background to introduce some texture. If you want to wait for the rocks to dry, you can add this after that has dried up, or it can be a bit careful because all of these are darker tones, so there's no way you're going to ruin it. All right. So that's how it has turned out. I cannot tell you how much I love the color combination and those rocks. It is literally glowing. Now that we are done, it's time to pull up the masking tape. Okay, so here we are, here is our painting for the day. I think it's a color combination that we all have witnessed in our life. It's a simple, yet a beautiful color combination. So if you're here to try, be sure to try it out and let me know if you liked it. 9. Day 05 - Blue and Pink Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day five of painting quick verticle skies. And here's our gorgeous sky for the day. I love the softness over here and also the bright colors on the top. Even the mountains and the whole composition. It's a really simple, yet a beautiful painting, and I'm very sure you guys are going to love it. For this painting, I didn't use any reference image. It was straight out of my imagination. So let's start by having a look at the colors. The very first color you will need is obviously a blue. The one I'm going to use here is Cabal blue from art philosophy. You can't change that with any other blue of your choice. It could be Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, or any other blue you have got. This one is a very bright and bold blue, and I'll be using the same color to add the cloud t aspo. So that's a first color. Now, the second one you will need for the sky is a pink. This one is called brilliant pink. It's a basal pink. It is from the brand Shinhan. So Tse are the two colors I'll be using for the sky. If you don't have petal pink, it's absolutely okay. You can easily create that color by adding some white water color with crimson or any kind of red. Okay. So These are the first two colors you will need. The next one is a patel violet. I'll be using that color for the mountain, the one in the background. O is actually a mix of cobal blue and Pasal pink. So the color will look something like this. Okay. So we need a color which is more like a Pasal violet. If you have a similar color in your palette, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create this color. That one is a mix of Pasal pink and cobal blue. Now, there's one more color you will need, which is Indigo. I'll be using this color mostly for the Fucron mountain. The one you see in the front. It has caught more taker toons. The color you see there is Indigo. I'll be using indico to atom textures for the mountain in the background as well. A little. You will lead Cabal blue or any other blue, Pasal pink, then indico for the mountains. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Here is a closer look. Please don't worry, if you don't have the exact same colors. Go the ones you have with you, which are nearly similar. Now, I will quickly walk you through the steps to follow before we start so that we have a better idea. Now, the first step is to paint the sky. We'll start with blue. We will use Cobal blue on the top and some pink at the bottom. Then on to that background, we will introduce some clouds using a darker value of blue. That's how the sky is going to turn out. You can place your clouds, however you like. And also, it's not necessary to add these mini clouds. After that, we'll co the mountain. First, we'll co with this one in the background, and after that, we'll paint the one in the foe round. So those are the steps to follow. It's a simple painting. Now, let's give it a try. The very first thing we have to do is to add the sketch. The sketch is a simple one. We need to add a mountain in the background. A simple one. Now we need to add another one in the fe round. So right below that, add another irregular line. Okay. So this is all we need for now. We can modify the shape as we paint. I mean in case necessary. Now, these are the two colors we'll need for the sky, cabal blue and pasil pink. I hope you guys have them ready on your palette. Once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto your entire sky, using any of your clean brush. Always make it a habit to make sure your brushes clean before you apply a coat of water onto the sky. For me, I rarely use this brush for painting. I mostly use it for wetting the paper. Okay, so it is clean. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to use my size number eight ron tres. And I'm starting by picking some blue paint, a medium tone of cabal crane, and I'm directly applying that onto the sky. I want the color to be really bold and bright. So I'm going with a color which is not too light. You can go the similar tonal value. Because by the time the color is dry, it will tend to fade a little. So if you want a brighter result, it is good to go with a brighter tone in the beginning itself. Okay. It's a beautiful blue, and this one is Copal blue from art philosophy. So I have applied blue onto a major part of the sky. Now, towards the bottom with the same brush. I'm just adding a few lines in between. Is just some random lines. Now I'm going to clean my brush. Os see. So clearly, your art teacher made a mess, but I think I handled the situation quite well. I used a paper towel, and I quickly wiped off all the water. And this is how it is looking right now. I'm not going to give up. I'm going to continue with the same painting. Now, I'm picking some pink. A lighter to of pink, and I'm going to apply that right above the mountain. Let's add a little over here, and also in between the blue we have applied. Okay. Just add the pink in between. We don't need a lot, add a few in between. That's all. You don't need to put a lot of pressure, simply add that pink in between. That's it. Now, leave it as it is. You don't need to smart jo blend or anything. You can still see some blue in between, and that is exactly what we need. Now I'm going to switch back to blue. Apply some paint on the top first, and then we can continue with the clouds. Luckily, my background is still wet. Maybe some of you may know, I reside in Dubai, and right now it is summer here, and it's super humid and super hard. Every time I start with my watercolor painting, it dries up so quickly. Anyway, that's a base layer. The most interesting part about the sky is this area where we have pink and blue. In a way, before this dries, let's quickly go with the clouds. To add the clouds, I'm going to go with my size number six rush. The other one was size number eight. Now I'm picking a dark tone of blue. And I'm going to start adding the clouds. Now, every time if you feel your paint is too watery, dap it on a paper towel, before you start adding the clouds, Be if your paint is too wet, they will start spreading a lot, and it will be very difficult to control the way they are spreading. Now I'm planing to add clouds mostly on the top. There we have blue. I won't be adding much towards the bottom. Quickly, go with any of your medium size fresh. It could be five or six or even four and add some clouds using a taco tone onto that wet background. You have the complete freedom to go with any kind of shape that you want for your clouds. They can be smaller ones, or bigger ones. They can be rounded ones or linear ones. Go with any shape that you prefer. Just use a darker tone and quickly add them before your background dries. Also be sure your paint is not too watery. Those are the things you have to keep in mind. I think my paint is a bit watery, so I'm dabbing it on a paper towel, and I will continue adding a few more clouds closer to the pink area. I'll just add a few smaller ones here with a very little paint. I don't want them to float into the pink part. I don't want to make this area look too busy, so I will only add one or two smaller clouds. See that? That's a bottom. Maybe we can add one or two clouds on to the top using a darker tune. The rest, I'm really happy with the result. I'm picking some more blue, and I will add some darker clouds onto this corner. Okay. That looks really good. I'm really happy with the colors, the clouds, and the blend. Right now, as the background is wet and with that paper texture, it might not be that appealing, but by the time it dries, it will look really beautiful. So yeah, just like I mentioned earlier, the Spink and blue part is my favorite thing about the sky. I love the way it has turned out. Anyway, now let's take a short break and come back when this has dried. That's how it has turned out. You can see how beautiful it is looking with the pink and the blue clouds. I'm really loving the color combination. Anyway, our next task is to paint the first mountain we have in the background. For that, as we discussed a o, I'll be using a mix of pink and blue. There is some paper texture here. I think it came off from my paper towel. Anyways, let's go the first mountain. I already have the colors on my palette, so I'm just going to mix them together. According to the amount of pink you're adding into the mix, the color can be a bit different, and that's really fine. Those things doesn't really matter. Just make some pink with bal blue or any blue you were using and use that color for your mountain. We have an outline there. Simply fill that shape. So this one doesn't have a lot of pink. It is still bluish, not really a pastel violet, that's okay. We are painting nature ide, so every color has its own beauty. The mountain can be a bit more purpish, or violetish, or even bluish. Those things are totally fine. Okay, so that's a base layer. I have applied that color onto the tire mountain. Now, with the same sh, I'm picking a bit of intco. Mostly like a medium to darker tone, and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel because I don't want the paint to be true watery. Now, with that, I'm just adding some textures onto the mountain. From the tip towards the bottom in an angular way, I'm adding some daker tones. See that? Let's do the same thing onto the left side as well. From here, I'm adding some random lines and shapes to at the bottom. It doesn't need to be perfect. We're creating some texture here, and they can be rough and messy. That's totally fine. That's a mountain in the background. That's it. You don't need to add any more texture or detail. This is it, but now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go the Focn mountain. So it's break time. All right. Now it's time to paint the Fu ground mountain. And for that, the only color you will need is intco. We'll start with a medium tone of Itco. Then using a Daco tone, we will add some textures onto it. Okay. Go with any of your medium sized presh and pick a medium tone of Indico. Now apply that onto the tire shape. I think it's a bit d. Okay. So go the medium tone, don't make it too dark in the first layer. If it's too dark, the textures won't be visible. The indico I'm using here is from art philosophy. This one is more like a bluish indico. You can go with any indico you have got. It can be a bluish indico or a darker grayish indico. It doesn't really make a difference. Now, apply that paint on to the tier shape. Then we will have to add some textures onto the layer while it is still wet. At this time, if you want to modify the shape of your mountain, you could do that. That's a base layer. Now, to add the textures, I think I will go with my smaller brush. I'm just going to keep this one aside, and I'm picking my size number en brush. I'm picking some dark ern of indico. Now, with that color, I'm just adding some lines and some textures onto the mountain. I think the color is not really visible, because my medium tone wasn't really a medium tone. It was more of a dacker tone. I mean, the color I used in the background. I think it's still okay. So just drop in some darker tones onto that wet layer. It can be some lines or shapes. Also, if you want to modify the shape of your mountain, do that right now. I want to change the profile of the mountain. I want to turn that into a more irregular line to give it better character. So I'm just making that line slightly irregular. All right. That's it. That's how it has turned out. I'm very happy with the result, especially the color combination of the sky and the mountains, they're going very well together. I hope you all had a fun time painting this beautiful sky. Anyway, now it's time to peel off the masking tape. I'm not really sure if I messed up. This area is still a little wet. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to peel off the masking tape. It's a really beautiful color combination. I love that bright blue with the Pasal pink, that contrast is really beautiful. If you are here to try, give it a try, we finish this painting in less than 12 minutes, I think. I'm a little nervous to peel off the side. In away, let's give it a try. Oh, wow. I got a clean border there, which I wasn't expecting. Now the last side. Alright, so here we are. That's a gorgeous sky for the day. It took us less than 12 minutes to paint the entire thing, and it turned out really beautiful. This part is still my favorite. I love that softness of blue and pink. In a way, give it a try I yet to try it and let me know if you like it. 10. Day 06 - Majestic Mountains: Hello, dear friends. Welcome today six of painting beautiful aticor skies. And here's a painting that we're going to try today. It's a soft and simple sky with a stunning mountain. For this one, I didn't use any reference image. I wanted to include this stunning mountain. So I just thought of going with a pink and blue sky because it goes very well together. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors. For the sky, I will be using two colors. You can see it is a soft blue and a soft pink. The blue is indico, and the pink is brilliant pink. It's a pastel pink. I'll be using a really light one of indico to get this softness. If you want to try a different blue for your sky, that's totally fine. It doesn't need to be indico. You can also go with her cooise blue or any other blue of your choice. You just need to watch out the tonal value. Okay? So we need a lighter tone of indico for the sky. The next color is a patel pink. This one is brilliant pink from Shinhan. Go with any of the patel pink you have caught. Okay, so those are the two colors you will need for the sky. Next, coming to the mountain to paint the mountain, you will need two colors. The first one is paints gray. Then along with that, you will also need some brown or burn scena. It's a simple color palette. You will only need four colors for this entire painting. Okay. The last color is brown. If you don't have brown, there's nothing to worry, just go with burn sina. All right, so that summarise all the colors you will need for today's painting. It's a really soft, simple, and beautiful sky. Keep all the colors ready. Now, before we start, let's have a quick look at the steps that we have to follow to create this gorgeous painting. First, we will add the sketch, and then we will start with the sky. For the sky, as I mentioned earlier, we will be using indico and pink. We'll apply indico onto a wet layer. By leaving some gap in between. Then onto those gaps, we will add some pink. The method of painting the sky is quite similar to the one we tried in the previous painting. For this one as well, we left some gap in between and there we introduced pink. For this one, we will play with lighter and softer colors. We won't be using intense colors. That's only difference. Once we're done with the sky, we will go with the mountain. We will start by adding the shadows. Then in between, we will add some brown and some paints gray to introduce all the textures and details. Okay, so that is a process we are going to follow. Now, let's give it a try. The very first thing we have to do is to add the sketch. We need to add a snowy mountain. You can add it however you like. I'm going to go with a very simple shape. So from here, I'm adding an irregular line. And then from there, I'm taking that down. We need a pointed tip. Now from that tip, add an irregular line. That's a basic shape of the mountain. As to your painting, we can add more textures and more details onto this. For now, this is all we need. Now I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready on your palette. For the sky, we will need indico and pink. Once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water on to the entire sky. Leave the mountain as it is. If you can try not to add any water onto it. Apply a nice gentle coat of water. Don't add a lot. We only need a shiny coat of water. My sky is almost wet. There is some more space left at the bottom, closer to the mountain, and that's it. Now we can start applying the paint onto the sky. For that, I'm using a size number eight to fresh. Before you start picking the paint, make sure it's clean. Now, pick a lighter tone of indico, add in water and turn that into a lighter tone. That's the kind of tonal value we need. Now, I'm going to apply this onto the sky. I will apply that on the top. See the tonal value, go with the similar one. Don't make it too dark. I'm applying the paint on to the wet background. Now, as I'm coming down, I'm going to simply apply some lines using the same paint. We have a lighter tone on the top. Now with the same tonal value, I'm going to add some lines onto the background. You can add them, however you like. Leave some white spaces in between and add some lines. That's how it has turned out. I know it looks very messy, but that is part of the process. Now, clean your brush quickly and switch to pink, go with a lighter tone or a medium tone. We need a soft color. Now we're going to apply this color onto these in between spaces we have here. First level started from the bottom. That's too bright, so I'm adding some water. You don't need to smudge the paint or blend the paint. Just add that onto these in between spaces. Be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure, and don't disturb the blue. You just have to introduce them onto the whiter space. Okay. Now I will add a little onto the top. All right, so we have some pink and blue on the sky. It looks quite messy. I can see that too. But please trust the process. It is going to look really beautiful when it dries. I'm going to add some more pink towards the top. Just a little. Okay. Now wipe your brush on a paper towel, and gently smudge it if needed. Otherwise, don't touch it. Now I'm picking a little more blue, and I'm introducing that in between. Okay. Only a little, and I'm picking the same tonal value. It's not too dark. I feel there's a lot of pink over here. That's why I'm adding this again. The idea here is to gently apply the colors onto the wet background. You have to go with soft and lighter tones. Don't go the daker tone. We start off with blue. Then onto the in between spaces, we introduce some pink and that's it. If you're introducing paint again, just like what I'm doing right now, you have to be very gentle. Only use the tip of your brush. Don't put a lot of pressure. That will disturb the base layers, and the colors won't look soft when it dries. Okay. This is how it has turned out. I'm quite happy with the result. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry to see the magic. Oh, my card, look at that soft, beautiful sky. It is looking so much beautiful than I expected. It's a calm and peaceful sky, and I'm loving it. Anyway, next we can start with the mountain. We are going to paint the mountain in two steps. For the first step, we will need a lighter tone of paint sc. Use any of your medium sized h and pick a lighter tone of paint scary. Now we're going to apply that on the left side. That looks a bit dark. I'm adding more water. Okay. Make sure it is a lighter tone. This one looks fine. So go with the similar tonal value. Now, start applying that from the top onto the left side. These are the shadows. Carefully follow that irregular line we have added. Don't fill up the anterior area. Just give it a watch. Now, as I'm coming down, I'm leaving the paint in some irregular shapes. I'm not going to fill the interior section. See that? Add some lines or some shapes like this. Towards the bottom. Let that paper wide stay actus. Okay. We can add some more shapes in between. But try to leave some white space. That is the left side. Now in a similar way, I'm going to add some shadows onto the right asph. Onto the right, we're not going to add much. We will just need to add few shapes in between. Don't worry if it is not looking very nice, that's totally fine. We're going to cover this with some brown and paints gray. It is going to turn out really beautiful. Just in a similar pattern, add some shapes using a light ton of paints gray. Remember to leave a lot of white. We only need some gray in between. That's it. I think this is looking perfect for the time pain. We can make it so much better and beautiful in the next step. With that, the first step is done. Now before we go ahead, we'll have to wait for this to dry. Okay, that is dried up. Next, we're going to add some textures onto this background. And for that, you will need two colors. One is brown or burn cena, and also some paints gray. Okay? So we're going to start with the left side. I'm picking some brown, and I'll add some paints with that. To turn that into a darker tone. Okay. Now, I'm going to apply this onto these in between spaces. When you're adding them, try to leave some gaps in between. Don't simply fill it up. Okay? Maybe you can leave some tiny white spaces as well. No allow, just a few in between. Just add that in a very random way, leaving some spaces in between. Next, dab a brush on a paper towel and make sure you have a dry paint on your brush. Then add some textures onto the background. Using that dry paint. If you feel your paint is water, dab it on a paper towel and add some dry textures onto the background. These dry textures are really important. This is what defines your mountain and also give it a better character. Simply keep on smudging the paint. Be sure it is a dry paint. And in between, you can see that gray spaces and also some white. That's how it has turned out. This is the left side. Now we can go with a little more darker tone. I'm going to pick paints gray acts, and I will introduce that in between. Again, it's a dry paint. I'm not adding much water. Now in between, I'm dropping that in. Just to show a darker tone. I'm not going to cover up those gray and white spaces. We need to retain them. I think we can add some more textures before we go with the next side. So I'm just adding some more dry patterns in between. Just a few here and there. I'm not adding a lot. That is a left side. Now I'm going to go with the right side. For that, first, I will pick some brown as it is without adding any paints gray. I'm going to add that onto these white spaces we have. I'm starting from the bottom, I'm simply filling those spaces. See that. Don't add any paint over here. Along the tip of the mountain, we have to retain most of the white spaces. See that. Leave some white spaces in between when you're adding brown onto the top of the mountain. Towards the bottom, you can simply fill it up. You really don't need to leave any white spaces. Let the gray stay as it is. But only on the top of the mountain, we need some white space. Okay, so right now I'm using brown acetus. I'm using a medium tone. It's not too light, and I'm adding that color onto these in between spaces. Now, onto the tip of the mountain over here, I'm going to add some teeny, tiny textures. Only add a few patterns like this. The white space has to stay. That's how it has turned out. Now with the same brise, I'm going to pick some paints gray, and I'm going to start adding some taco patterns. I will start from the bottom. I'm randomly adding that onto these shapes I have here. I know at this point, it looks really messy, but don't worry about it. It is part of the process. Next, dab a brish on a paper towel, and just push and pull the paint into each other to create some texture. Along with that, you can also add some right textures onto the gray areas. A little onto the top asphalt. Right now, our task is to add some right textures, using paints gray. You can see the weight is turning out, really beautiful, right. Keep on adding those right textures onto the background until you're happy with the result, but don't cover the entire background. We want to see some gray, some white, and some brown in between. That is the beauty of this mountain. There is no rush. You can take it slow. I think I'm doing this step a little fast because it's very easy. You just need to get a hang of it and you just need to know how to use the colors, and that's it. You can paint this beautiful mountain quite easily. I would add some more darker tones at the bottom. But if you want to take a break in between, do that, not a problem, you can come back and add your textures later. That's how it has turned out. You can see how beautiful those textures are looking. Those tiny white spaces is adding a lot of beauty to our mountain. I will add some more taco toones at the bottom. Then maybe some more dry textures. I'm not adding a lot. I'm quite happy with the result. I want to retain most of the gray and the whites. So if I add more textures and darker tones, I might end up covering those gray and white spots. We are nearly done. Only if you want to add more textures, you could do that. Otherwise, it's in a good shape. It is just a matter of building those layers. So first, you have to add in your shadows. I mean that light to tone of gray. Then you need to go with brown and paints gray and keep on introducing your textures. You just have to keep on introducing those patterns and textures to give it a more realistic feel. You will get hang of it for sure once you are into the process. I'm going to modify the shape a little. And with that, I'm going to call it darn. I'm really happy with the result. I think it looks very realistic and three damage now. I might be biased, but I want to know what you guys think about it. I hope you are loving the process. Okay, so with that, we are done with our mountain. I think the colors of the sky and the mountain is going very well together. Anyway, now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Okay, so here is our cotton candy sky and the snowy mountains for the day. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. It was a really quick one. You can actually try the same mountain against a different sky. Alright, so that's all for the day. I hope you all had a fun time painting this gorgeous sky and snowy mountains. 11. Day 07 - Purple Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day seven of painting Quick and EC at color skies. So here's our painting for the day. It's a beautiful sunset. The reference Ms considered had a different color combination for the sky. I modified that into this one. Okay, as usual, let's start by looking at the colors we all need. For the sky, I will be using three colors mainly. There is a purple, pink, and some orange. It is more like a pinkish purple, and to create that, I will make some violet with some permanent rose. Okay. So in this mix, you will have to add more rose and less violet, and that's a color I have got. I will swatch it out for you. See that? It's a gorgeous color. I don't have this color in my collection. If you have a similar color in your collection, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create it. Okay? Now, the second color you will need is pink. This one is brilliant pink from Shin Hen. So that's our second color. Now, the next one you will need is an orange. Towards the bottom part of the sky, we will add some orange. This one is a bright orange. It's again from Shinhan. It is called brilliant orange. It's a beautiful color. Now, towards the bottom part of the sky over here, I will also be adding a bit of red. This one is completely optional. Maybe you can use the same orange. You can go with a brighter tone, or you can just add one or two lines onto the sky using some red. This one is piral red. Okay, so those are the four colors I will be using for the sky. Now for the other structure, we will need a brownish color and some paints gray. I will be using brown. You can go with brown or burn Cena. That's a major color we will use for the structure. Then to add the deeper tones, we will use some paints gray. It's a beautiful purple sky. You can actually use it against a green meadow. That will be a nice combination. Anyway, these are the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need some purple, pink, orange, red, brown or burn Cena, and paints gray. All right, so those are the colors you will need. Now let's have a look at the process involved in creating this beautiful sunset. The first thing is to add the sketch, and then we will paint the sky. The major part of the sky is going to be a pinkish purple. We'll go with a mix of rose and violet. Right after the purple, we will use some pink, then some orange, and a bit of red towards the bottom. Then using the same purple, we will add some clouds onto the wet background. That's how the sky is going to be. You can also use violet actus. It doesn't need to be purple. Then after that, we will paint the fu ground elements. The major color is going to be brown. Then to show some highlights, we'll use some orange and for the deeper tones, we'll use paints gray. Those are the steps involved. Now let's give it a try. For this painting, unlike the others, we will need to add a sketch. I'm starting with that. First, I will add a line over here to separate the sky and the ground. Next, I'm going to add that rocky structure. Okay so start by adding a line like this. Now, in between the space, we're going to add our structure. To make it easier, I'm attaching a picture here. I haven't followed the exact same shape, but if you'd like to, you can follow the same shape. Or you can simply go the rough shape, like what I'm doing here. It doesn't need to be exact same as the original structure. This place is in Arizona, and this anterior valley has so many red sandstone structures like this. Okay? Now I'm going to add another small shape next to that. So that's my sketch. If you want to make it a little different, that's totally fine. Now, we spoke about the colors already. On the top, we will use some purple then pink and orange. Okay. So make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette before you start. And when you have them ready, start applying coat of water onto the entire sky. You can apply water on that structure. That's totally fine. My sky is evenly wet. Now I'm going to start applying the paint onto this wet background. The first color we will need is a purple. To create that, I'm picking some violet, and I'm adding some permanent rose with it, and that's a color I have created. You can add more violet, according to the color you like. Now I'm going to apply this on the top of my sky. The color can look a little different. It can be more purplish or violetih. That's totally fine. Go with a medium tone and apply that on the top of your sky. You can apply this color almost to half of your sky. Okay. Maybe you can make it a bit more brighter. I'm adding more violet, and I'm adding that on the top. Maybe there's a similar color available in the market. I don't have it. That's why I chose to create it. Okay. So that's half of the sky. It's a gorgeous color right. Maybe we can add a bit more. Okay. So that's a purple part. Now, I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm going to pick the second color is the basal pink, and I'm adding that right next to this color. And we need to blend them. Give it a gentle blend. You don't need to put a lot of effort. Okay. So that is purple and pink. Now, I will quickly run my brush toward the top in a horizontal direction to give it a better blend. All right. So that is purple and pink. I'm loving this color combination already. Now it's time to go with the third color. So let's clean up brush, and let's pick some orange. So I'm actually mixing that with pink. I want the color to be more like a peach, not really orange. If you want to use orange acts, that's totally fine. Over here, I'm mixing some pink with orange, and that's a color I'm using at the bottom. So the base layer is a blend of three colors. We have used purple on the top, then pink, and then orange. Now, I'm picking some more pink, and I'm blending this part. Okay, that's a base layer. Now, just like I mentioned earlier, if you want to add some more contrast to your sky, you can pick a little of red and add that at the bottom. This one is completely optional. Only if you want to add some highlights or some drama into your sky, you can go with a step. So with the same sh, pick some red and add one or two lines closer to the horizon. So that's the base layer. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside, and I'm picking my smaller brush. This one is size number six, and I'm going back with the same purple. The tonal value can be a bit more brighter than the color we used earlier, which means add less water. Okay. Now, with this color, I'm going to add some clouds onto the sky. You can add them wherever you like. I'm starting from here. That's a color. It's a bit more darker than the color we have in the background. With the same tonal value, they won't be visible. Now, add a clouds, however you like before the background dries up. You can go with just one or two clouds, some simple ones, or you can add a cluster of smaller and bigger clouds and make it too dramatic. You can choose to add wherever you like. The only thing here is to go with the paint, which is not too watery. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel, before you add these clouds. I'm not going to add any clouds towards the bottom. I'm focusing on the top part where I have purple in the background. So the same color I'm using here in a slightly darker tone, and I'm adding some clouds onto these corners. Go with bigger clouds or smaller clouds, add them however you like. You have to do this before the background dries up. It's a beautiful color combination. As we're using the same color to add the clouds. I mean purple. We have used purple in the background, and we're using the same color to add the clouds as well. This way, your sky won't look too dramatic. If you're using a different color, maybe a violet or any other daker toons, the clouds will be too prominent, and that will turn your sky into very dramatic. But over here, even though I have added many clouds, the sky is still looking soft and subtle, and that's the beauty of this color combination. Okay. That's how the sky has turned out. Now, I'm going to leave it for drying. So the sky has dried completely. Next, I'm going to go ahead with the structure here and also the ground. I'm starting by picking some orange, a bright tone of orange, and I'm going to apply that onto the sandstone structure. Okay? So first, I will apply this color. Then onto that, I will introduce some brown and some taker tones. So onto that entire shape, add some orange. Okay. Only onto the structure, the rest can be all brown. For now, we can focus on the structure. Okay, so that is orange. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some brown. It can be brown or burn cena. This one is permanent brown. Go with a medium tone, and just add some lines and some shapes onto the structure. Don't cover it up entirely. We need to see that orange color in between. You could add some lines like this. So what we're trying to do here is to add some textures and tonal values onto the structure. So once we're done adding brown, we will repeat the same step using a taco tone, and that will give it a more finished look. Right now, it looks quite unfinished, and that's truly fine. It is part of the process. Now onto this part as well. I'm adding some brown. I will quickly add some more medium tones onto the structure, and then I will start with the ground. I'm picking a little more brown, and I'm adding some more of that onto the structure. So this is super ntom. I'm not looking at any reference picture. I'm adding some medium tones in between, and I'm still retaining some of the orange. It's just some lines. I'm adding onto the structure, and I'm smudging it. Okay, so for now, this is all we need. Next, I'm going to start with the ground. So I'm picking more brown, and I'm going to add that on to the bottom. Just fill up the tia part. Okay. So the color I'm using here is brown. If you don't have brown, go with burn Cena. Now we have another small structure towards the right side. I will apply the same color onto that asphalt. Okay. So just follow the shape and fill that anterior area in brown or burn Sina. Go with the similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. We need a medium tone here. Okay. Now what I'm going to do is I will dab my brush on a paper towel, and then I'm smudging this color into the structure. So drag your brush towards the top and make it look like one structure. All right. That's a base layer. Now onto this, we're going to add some taker tones. But before that, I'm going to modify the shape a little. That's done. Next, we're going to add the deeper tones. First, I will go with a darker tone of brown. I will add that at the bottom. I'm simply dropping that onto the wet background. We're trying to create some texture here. It doesn't need to be perfect. It doesn't need to be a clean blunt or anything. So keep on dropping that taco tones onto the background. That is brown. It's a darker tone of brown. I'm switching to a smaller brush, this one is size number six, because with the other one, the shapes were looking to pick. With this, I can add small spots and shapes. Keep on dropping some taco tones onto the background. However, you like. All right. That's a daker toone of brown. Now, let's go with a much more taco toon. For that, we can pick some paints gray. Let's add that onto the outer corners. I'm dropping in a bit over here and also onto the left corner. And in between as well. See that. So I'm just roughly adding them. Now I'm cleaning my brush. Now we can pick some more brown. This will make the smudging easier. Now quickly smudge those colors. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't need to be a clean blend. It doesn't need to look perfect. We want some textures here. So leave it rough and messy. All right. Now we need to add some more textures onto the structure. That's the only thing left. Using a taco toon, I'm adding some shadows in between. See that. Onto these in between pockets, I'm adding some taco toons. Now we can add some here. The idea is to have some orange then some medium tone, which is brown, and also some darker tone on the structure. So go with your intuition and add them wherever you feel like. Just keep in mind, we only need some darker tones in between. It is already looking quite pretty. Onto these pockets, add some lines or some small shapes using that darker tone. Don't add a lot and cover up all the brown and orange tones. I think those deeper tones I have added. They're looking very prominent. So let's gently smudge it to give it a better look. Okay. Be very gentle. You don't put a lot of pressure. I think we'll have to go with a dam brush and do that again. So I have made my brush wet, and I have dabbed it on a paper towel. And with that damp brush, I'm smudging them again. I think this is looking far better. Okay. This is how it has turned out. Now, I'm going to add some more daker tones onto these in between pockets. And with that, I'm going to call it done. I think it lacks some taco toones. That's why I'm doing that again. If you feel like you have enough daker toones already, you don't need to add them again. I'm just adding a few in between, some lines, and that's it. In order to give this sandstone structure a finished look, you have to introduce your daker toones. All right. So I've just added some lines onto the structure using a taco tone. Anyways, with that, we're done with our painting for the day. Now it's time to peer up the masking tape, and then we can take a closer look at this beautiful painting. I'm loving this color combination and even the composition. That brown structure is going very well with the colors of the sky. So take a closer look. Here is our gorgeous sky and the sandstone structure. I hope you all loved it. If you're here to try, do give it a try. Let me know if you liked it. Okay, that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next beautiful sky. 12. Day 08 - Seaside Evening: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day eight. Our painting for the day is a lovely seaside evening. Now, here's a reference image I considered. Obviously, I changed the colors of the sky, but I really like the landscape and the composition, so I retained that. Now, let's have a look at the colors we will need for this gorgeous painting. For the sky, I will be using three colors. The first color is turquoise blue. That's the color you see on the top. I'll start with that. If you want to use a different color, you could do that. It doesn't need to be turquoise blue. It can be Precian blue, cobalt blue, or any other blue of a choice. Okay, that's the first color you will need for the sky. Now the next one is pink. This one is brilliant pink from Shinhan. You can also go with a lighter tone of crimson or carmine or even permanent rose. Now, the third color you will need is a yellowish orange. Over here you can see some yellowish orange. This one is bum yellow orange. If you don't have a yellowish orange, it's totally fine, just use any yellow you have got. Now the next color we will need is indico. We will use a little of this color to add some textures onto the sea. For the base layer, we will use is blue, and then to add the textures, we will use some intc. Now for the foreground, you will need three colors, a little of yellow ocher. Then some brown or burn scena. And also some paints great to add the deeper tones. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. It's a quick, but a really beautiful painting. Here's a closer look of all the colors. You will need turquoise blue, pink, a yellowish orange, indico, yellow ochre, brown or burn sina and paints gray. Okay, so keep all the colors ready on your palette. Now let's have a quick look at the steps involved so that you have a better idea before we start with the project. The first step is to paint the sky. We're going to go with some turquoise blue, pink, and yellow. It's a very soft and simple sky. We're not going to add any clouds or any other details. We're going to simply drop in these three colors onto wet background. And right after that, we'll paint the sea and then the focron elements. Even the focron elements are quite simple. We'll create a base layer of yellow ocher first, then onto that, we'll add some medium tones and daker tones. That's how the process is going to be. Now let's give it a try. Let's start with the sketch. We need to add the horizon line first. I'm adding the horizon line a little below the center of the paper. The top part is going to be the sky. Now over here, I'm going to add an irregular line. The space you see in between is a s. Now, we need to add a rocky structure. I'm going for an irregular shape to make it look more interesting. You can go with any shape that you prefer. It doesn't need to be like this. We have a big rocky structure on the right side. You can modify the shape however you like. First add a horizon line, then you will have to add an irregular line over here. Then finally, we have to add a rocky structure. That's a sketch. Now we can start painting. For the sky, we will need three colors, turquoise blue, pink, and a yellowish orange or a yellow. Make sure you have these three colors ready on your palette. Once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. We only need a clean coat of water, don't add a lot. Run a brish multiple times and make sure it isn't even coat of water. So my sky is evenly wet. Now I'm going to start applying the paint. To apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number e tron brush. First make sure it is clean. I'm starting with this yellowish orange, and I'm applying that along the horizon. Or if you want a similar color, you can just add some orange with any of the yellow you have. It is an easy color to mix and create. That is yellowish orange. I have applied that along the horizon. Now I'm going to spread it out a bit more. This will make my sky more interesting. Just keep pushing and pulling the color and make it look more natural. Now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going with the second color which is pink. Now let's apply this color into these in between spaces as well as onto the top. Just keep on adding the color. It doesn't need to be a clean blend in between, you can introduce some lines to make your sky look more interesting and natural. I'm going to add some more pink towards the top. Again, I'm adding that in an irregular way. I'm just adding some lines and some shapes in between. Don't add the paint in a straight horizontal line. Add them in an angular way. This will make your sky look more interesting. Next, I'm picking some turquoise blue. Go at the medium tone. And apply that on the top of your sky. First, apply them on the top. Then as you're coming down, add some lines, some angular lines. I'm not putting a lot of pressure. I'm just using the tip of my brush, and I'm adding some angular lines. See that. If there is a lot of paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel, and then add in a few more lines into the pink. See that. I'm only adding these lines where I have pink. I won't be taking that into the yellow. Okay. Now if you want to add some more lines, you could do that because that is what makes your sky more interesting. I'm going to stretch these lines a bit more into the pink. All right. And that's how my sky has turned out. I'm really happy with it. It is soft, simple, and beautiful. I don't want to overwork and ruin it, but I think I can introduce some more pink. My background is still wet. I think I will pick my other brush. This one a size number six. If your background has started to dry, you don't need to do this. I'm thinking of adding some more lines using pink. Just a few over here. I'm being very gentle. I'm not putting a lot of pressure. I just want a few lines towards the bottom, and that's it. That's how my sky has turned out. Now, I'm going to leave it for drying. Look at that. The colors are looking really soft and beautiful. I'm loving the colors. I think the colors could have been a bit more brighter. But never mind what's done is done. Our next task is to paint the sea, and for that as well, I'm going to go with turquoise blue. But into that, I'm adding a pinch of indico. This way, the color will be a bit more dull and darker. It won't be too bright. Go with the medium tone and apply that under this entire section. We need to have a straight horizon line. So be careful about that. That's a tonal value I'm going with. It can be a bit more lighter, but don't make it dark. If you want to use intco actus, that's totally fine. You can apply a medium tone of intco onto the entire C. That's a base layer. Now onto this wet layer. We will have to add some lines to introduce a texture. Let's do that before this dries. For that, let's pick some more intco. Let's add some lines onto the wet background. Just add a few here and there. We don't need a lot. The background is still wet, so don't add a lot of lines. You will end up covering that base layer. Just add a few lines in between. And that's it. We can add more when it has dried. For now, this is all we need. So let this dry, and after that, we can paint the bottom part and also the rocky structure. That is right completely. Now, before we coat the crown and the rocky structure, let's add some texture onto the sea and let's get it done. And for that, I'm going to use the same color in deco. But this time, I will coat the smaller brush. The lines we added earlier, they are not at all visible. Let's add some thin lines onto the background. It doesn't need to be a very darker tone. Go with the medium tone. As you're applying that on a dried up background, they will be visible. Now, simply add some irregular lines onto the background using any of your smaller brush. You can add some wavy lines. Some of them can be thicker, some of them can be thinner. Just add a few lines onto the background, and that's it. That's all we have to do. Don't overdo it. We only need a few lines. Now let's go the ground and the rocky structure. I will paint this in two steps. This side, I will paint later. First, I'm going to start with other section. On the left side, I'll be using more of medium tones, and for the rocky structure, I'll use more of darker tones. First, I will squeeze out some brown onto my palette. For this big structure, we will use brown first, and then using a taco tone, we will introduce some texture. But over here, we're going to start with the yellow ocher. First, pick up a medium tone of yellow ocher and apply that onto this entire area. Or you can skip the top and apply some paint towards the bottom like this in an irregular way. Now with the same brush and picking some brown. It can be brown or burn scena. Now apply that on the top. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. We are trying to create some texture here. Push and pull the paint into each other and create some rough messy textures. For the time being, I'm only considering this mach area, the other structure we can paint after this. Now I'm going to pick a little more darker tone of brown, and I'm going to add that onto the top again. I'm just dropping in that paint as some dots and some small shapes. See that? As I said earlier, we are trying to create some texture here. You don't need to blend it. Now, maybe we can dab it on a paper towel and we can gently smudge it. See that. Just keep pushing and pulling the paint into each other and create a rough messy texture. I think for the rest, I will use a smaller brush. I'm going to keep this one aside, and I'm picking my size number six n brush. I'm going to repeat the same step, but using a slightly darker tone. Mix some paints gray with brown or burn scena and add that paint onto the top. See that. It's a bit more darker than the color we used earlier. You can give it a better shape, make it slightly irregular. Towards the bottom, we have some lighter tones and medium tones. And on the top, we are adding some taco tones. We can drop some in between as well. This will make it look more natural. Now I'm going to dab my pressure on a paper towel, and with that kind of dry brush, I'm smudging the paint. I think this is looking fine. Next, we can go with the other section. And for that, I'm picking some brown, a darker tone, and I'm going to apply that onto this entire shape. It's a darker tone. It could be brown or burn Sina. Give your rock a nice irregular shape. This will make it look more realistic. Don't go for a curvy shape. I've just applied brown on to the entire shape. Next, I'm going to pick some paint scrape. I'm going to add that at the bottom first. You can just randomly drop in that darker tone. You don't need to follow any specific shape or anything. Also drop in some darker tones onto the structure asphole. See that? Can clearly see the difference here. The structure is more prominent than the ground. Now, if needed, you can add some more taco toon onto the structure. I'm just adding a few more lines in between. They're very rough irregular lines. You can add them onto these corners and pockets. See that. Now, to add some final touches, I will again dab my pressure on a paper towel, and then I'm smudging the paint a little. Also, I will add some textures on the other side. Just a few random textures using that taco toon. You can add them wherever you like. You don't need to smudge it. You can just leave it as it is. I will pick some more paint and I will add some more textures and shapes. Earlier the background was too wet. So the darker tots we applied is not really prominent. I'm just going to go for one more round. And I'm adding some shapes and small tots onto the background. This time they will be prominent as the background has almost dried up. Now I'm really liking it. I think there's a beautiful contrast between this brown structure and the soft colors of the sky. Anyways, with that, I'm done adding the textures, and here's the finished painting. Now we can peel off the masking tape. The background is still a little wet, but I'm going to go ahead and peel off the masking tape. You can wait for a few more minutes until it has dried completely before you peel off the masking tape so that you won't rip off your paper. So here's the finished painting. I'm really loving the colors of the sky and that rocky structure. It's a beautiful color combination. Give it a try if I get to try it and let me know if you liked it. 13. Day 09 - Pastel Sunset: Hello, my lovely friends. Welcome to Day nine. Today's painting is one of my most favorite from the tie collection. The best part about this painting is obviously the colors. It took me a few tries to land on the perfect one. So if you're not really happy with your first try, that's totally fine. Don't worry about it, give it another go. It's a color combination which I have never explored earlier. So even though I failed twice, I thought of giving it another go, and I'm glad I did it. Now, here is a reference I Mas considered. It is mostly inspired by the colors. It's a color combination that I really wanted to try. The rest I modified to fit into our 15 minute schedule. Eight ways as usual, let's have a look at the colors. The first color you will need is turquoise blue. Then you will need some pink orange and yellow. Actually, the color combination is quite similar to the one we tried on day eight. But it's kind of a different take. For that one, we went in with a very simple wash. We didn't add any clouds or we didn't add any extra details. So the first color you will need is tircoise blue. Next, you will need some pink. Tyrocise blue and pink is a very beautiful color combination. You can use some El hone as well. Now the next color you will need is a peach color. And to create that, I'm going to add some pink with orange. Pick some orange and mix that with pink. You can add a bit more pink. That's a third color I'll be using for the sky. We'll start with turquoise blue, then pink. Then the third color is going to be a mix of pink and orange. See that? It's a beautiful color. You will just need to add some orange with pink. That's a third color. Now you will need one more color. O which is Naples yellow. We only need a little towards a horizon line. If you don't have Naples yellow, go with any yellow you have got. Okay, so those are the colors you will need for the sky. To add the clouds, we will use the same peach color we have created. And for the sea asphal, it is just pink and turquoise blue. Now, coming to the mountain you have in the background. For that, I'm going to go with a mix of orange and turquoise blue. You can see that muddy brown are created here. So it is just a mix of orange and turquoise blue. I wanted to limit the colors I'm using for the painting. That's why I don't use any brown. But if you have brown on your palette, you can just use that. You don't need to take the effort and mix and create a new color, just use brown or burn Sena actus. This one is a mix of orange and turquoise blue. Now, you will need one more color, which is indico. We will use that color to add some deeper tones onto the sea. All those lines and textures you see. That is using indico. That summarize all the colors you will need for this cargos painting. You will need turquoise blue, pink, some orange, Naples yellow, and also some indico. Now let's have a quick look at the seps before we start with the painting. So just like I mentioned earlier, it's a color combination that we have already explored. For the other one, we didn't add any clouds, and for this one, the most interesting part is the clouds. Okay, so we'll start with the base layer. We'll have tirquis blue on the top, then some pink, then a bit of orange, and towards the bottom, we will introduce some yellow over here. So that's going to be the base layer. Then onto that wet layer, we will add some clouds. Now for the sea as well, I'll be using pink and tirquoise blue. Then when the background dries up, we will add some lines and some textures onto that. And finally, we will go with the mountain far away. Towards the center, we will use orange to create that glowing effect, and the rest is going to be more of brown and tucker tones. Okay, so that was a quick overview of the steps. I hope you all got a rough idea. Now, let's give it a try. All right, my dear friends, I have my paper ready here. Now let's start with the sketch. First, we can add a horizon line. A little below the center of your paper. Okay. Now, I'm going to add a mountain. I'm starting it from here. Now, I'm going to take it to the other end. That's our sketch. Now we have to make sure you have all the colors ready before you start. For the sky, we will need some turquoise blue, pink, orange, and Naples yellow. Keep all the colors ready. Now, once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. We only need a shiny coat. Don't add a lot. Keep running your brish back and forth multiple times, just to be sure the coat of water is even. So my sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number e tron tres. Make sure it's clean before you start. The very first color I'm going to pick is turquoise blue. We'll have to go with the medium tone. Now apply this on the top of your sky. That's the kind of tonal value I'm going with. Don't make it too light. Okay. So that is turquoise blue. Now, I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm going to make this color slightly lighter. So clean your brush. Now with that clean brush, make this part lighter. And now we can go the second color, which is pink. Pick some pink. Apply that right next to turquoise blue and blend them in. It doesn't need to be a proper blend. Just give it a rough blend for now. That's all we need. Next, I'm picking more pink, and I will apply that towards the bottom. Okay. Maybe you can quickly run your brush one more time towards the top to make it a decent plant. Next, I'm going to go with a mix of pink and orange. So I'm picking some orange, mixing that with pink. The same color we spoke about earlier. Now I'm going to apply that color over here. The color can be a bit different according to the amount of orange you're adding, and that's totally fine. Don't worry about it. Even for me, if I try the same sky one more time, I might not get the exact same colors, those things are totally fine. Now, I'm going to take some more water. I will just fix this part, then onto the leftover area. I will add some yellow. So let's clean up brush, and let's go with the final color, which is yellow. I'm using Naples yellow here. You can go with any yellow of your choice, or you can even skip using yellow if you don't want it. I'm only adding a little onto the left. That peach color is coming into the yellow, so I'm just going to wipe it off a bit. Okay. Think it looks better now, so we only have a little of yellow towards the left side. So that is the base layer. We have some turquoise blue on the top, then some pink, then peach, and a bit of yellow. Now I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm switching to a smaller brush, and I'm going to pick the same color I created earlier. Maybe we can make it a bit more brighter by adding more orange and more pink. So the paint is not as loose as before. Now, I'm going to dip my brush on a paper towel before I start adding the clouds. I don't want the paint to be too watery. See that. So the same color we used earlier, but this time, I have made it more pigmented. Now you can start adding the clouds wherever you want to. But just be sure the paint is not too watery. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you add the clouds. I'm focusing more on this part and also the top where we have turquoise blue. I'm starting from the center. The color is a mix of pink and orange. I haven't added much water. That's where the color is more pigmented. Now, I'm going to add a few clouds on to the turquoise blue part. Again, I'm using the same color. There is no change in the color. Now, there is one thing here, when you're adding these clouds on the area where you have turquoise blue, the color will appear a little different. You can see the difference. I will add some clouds on to the top. See that. The color will look slightly muddy, and that is totally fine. In fact, that slight muddy color will add a lot of beauty to our clouds. It will end up looking more natural. Don't worry about it at all. Okay. Now, I'm picking the same color again, and I will add a few more clouds onto the top where I have turquoise blue. I will add some here. You can add the clouds wherever you like and however you like. You don't need to follow the same shape and the same pattern. Those things are totally up to you. At any point, if you feel your background is starting to dry, it would be a good idea to stop adding the clouds. Okay. I'm just going to add a few more over here. You can see my paint is not to watery, and in the background, it is not to watery. That's where the clouds are staying in shape. It is not spreading a lot. Just like the water content, using a good quality watercolor paper is also very important. No matter how much effort you're putting into it, if you're not using right quality watercolor paper, you won't be able to get a result that you're looking for. Even if you're a beginner, if you want an excellent watercolor, use the right quality watercolor paper. I'm done adding the clouds. I'm very much impressed with the way it has turned out. Now let's leave it for drying. And that's a gorgeous sky we have painted. I'm very happy with the result. Now it's time to paint the sea. For the sea as well, we're going to go with the same color combination. So I'm starting by applying a coat of water. Go with any of your clean brush and apply a gentle coat of water. You can leave a tiny cap in between so that you won't ruin your sky. Now let's start applying the paint. I'm going to go back with that mix of pink and orange. But this time, I'm not adding orange. It is mostly pink. Okay. I'm applying the color mostly on the left. From the left side, start applying the paint almost to the center. For the rest, I'm going to use turquoise blue. The color is looking like pure pink. It doesn't have any orange tint in it. Maybe we can add a bit of orange to match it with the sky, not a lot, just a little. Okay. So we have added this color focusing on the left side. Now, for the rest, I'm going to introduce tercise blue. So let's clean up brush, and then we can go with a medium tone of tircise blue. The brush I'm using here is size number eight. You can go with any of your smaller or medium size brush. Now, dive it on a paper towel if you feel the pain is too watery, and then you can start applying the paint from the right towards the center. I took a lot of pain, that is quite dark. From the right, keep on dragging the paint inward like this. You can keep on pushing and pulling that paint. So we have some peach color on the left, and on the right, we have some turquoise blue. So once you have added the paint, dab it on a paper towel, Now, that dry brush, keep on adding some lines onto the background. At this point, there might not be a lot of paint on your brush, and that is exactly what we need. I'm hoping you guys have reached this point. Now, I'm going to keep this precis side, and I'm switching to a smaller one. We're going to add some more lines and textures onto the background. Pick a medium tone off to is blue again. Dp it on a paper towel before you add these lines. We don't want them to spread a lot. Me sure your paint is not too watery. Now, from the right side, keep on adding some lines into the pink. Remember to use a medium tone, don't make it too dark. Also pick a very little amount of paint when you're adding these lines. Don't pick a lot of paint. See that. Keep on adding few lines onto the background to introduce some texture. Don't get rid of the pink. We want that color to be in the background. That's how it has turned out. I think towards the right, we can add some more lines using a Daco tone. I'm picking some indico, mixing that with turquoise blue. It's not too dark. It is more like a medium tone. Now onto this part, I'm going to add some more lines. This is where we're going to introduce the mountain. So over here, we'll have some more darker tones and shadows, and that is what I'm introducing right now. So only going to the right, I'm adding a few more lines using a slightly darker toon. I'm not touching the left. That is going to stay hazardous. Okay, so that's our C. Now let's wait for this to dry before we go with the final steps. Our next step is to add the mountain far away. And for that, I'm starting with orange. Go with the medium tone. Now, apply that onto this side of the mountain. Okay. That's the kind of tonal value I'm going with. It is not too dark. It's a medium tone of orange. Now, for the rest of the mountain, we want to introduce a muddy brown. I'm picking more orange, and I'm missing that with turquoise blue. See that? I'm going to apply that for the rest of the area. Only on the left, I need some orangish color. The rest is going to be more of brownish tunes. You can use brown acts. You don't need to mix and create this color. I just wanted to limit the amount of colors I'm using for this painting. That's why I chose to mix it. But if you already have some brown on your palette, just use it. There is no need to mix and create this color. Okay. This one is a simple mix of turquoise blue and orange. Now, towards the end to make the color more darker, I will add some intco. So let's pick some intco and add that into this mix. Now I'm going to apply that on to this end. Instead of indico, you can also use paints gray. No matter which color you're using, we just need this part to be darker. Now introduce those darker tones onto the right side of your mountain and finish it off. You can modify the shape of your mountain as well. Okay, that is it. Now, there's one more thing that I want to do before I call it done. And for that, I'm using a smaller brush. I'm going back with a mix of turquoise blue and indico. Go with a medium tone, don't make it too dark. Now with this color, I'm going to add some more lines onto the background. I feel there is no much textures. So I'm just adding some more lines. Go with any of your smaller brush. Don't make it too bold, go with a similar thickness. Now keep on adding some lines onto the background, using a medium tone. Be sure not to make it too prominent and too dark. All right. So I'm just adding some random lines. Some of them are long, some of them are short. So just keep on adding some wavy irregular line onto the background. Mostly onto the area where you have turquoise blue in the background. You don't need to add much onto the pink part. The tonal value that you're using is really important. Don't make it too dark, add some water and with a medium tone. Otherwise, they will be too prominent. We want some very subtle textures. I'm adding some more water. I'm using a lighter tone, I'm going to add a few more lines onto the background. At any point, if you feel you're satisfied with your painting, you can stop it there. Just because I'm adding some extra lines, doesn't mean you have to do the same. I will add a few more, and then let's call it done. When you're adding lines on the left side over here, try to go the lighter tone. Don't make it too prominent. I think I have added enough of lines. Maybe we can add a few more on the right side. Using a medium tone. I'm picking some more paint, adding a few far away. Maybe I can add a few more using a slightly darker tone. I'm picking a little more integral. And some turquoise blue, mixing them together, and I'm adding a few more lines onto the right. Closer to the mountain mostly. It's a really pretty color combination, and I'm loving the way it is progressing. Actually, I wanted to try the same with guage with watercolor. I wasn't really sure it's going to work. But I'm glad that I tried even after failing tice. Okay, so that's our painting for the day. You can see how gorgeous it has turned out. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape. This one is a color combination that I have never tried earlier, and I'm really, really happy with the result. Give it a try if I had to try it. It's a gorgeous color combination, and I'm sure you're going to love the process. Okay, so give it a try and let me know if you like it. 14. Day 10 - Desert Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day ten of painting quick and easy vertical skies. And here's a standing sunset that we are trying out today. It's a very simple sky, but the foreground element is very strong, and that is what makes this painting really special. For this one, I didn't use any reference me. I had tried a similar one earlier and I knew how easy it is to create the standing sunset. So I wanted to include a similar one in the series. I'm very sure this painting will make you either happy or proud at the end. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors. For the sky, I'm going to use three colors. The first color you see on the top, it is actually a mix of brown and red. This one here. Let me show you how to create that color. So these two colors, this one is piral red. And into that, I'm going to add some permanent brown. Se that. You will get a rich brownish red, and that's a color I'll be using on the top. Okay. So just make some brown with any of the red you have cat and create a similar color. Or in case if you have Madlke red or Alisar and crimson, or any other kind of darker red in your collection, you can use it directly. I'm adding some swatches here of similar kind of reds available in the market to give you a better idea. The next color you will need is orange. This one is brilliant orange. You can go with ermalin, or any other kind of orange you cut. Now, the third color we need is yellow. This one is cadmium yellow light. It's a beautiful bright yellow. You can go with ambo yellow, primary yellow or any other yellow cut. You will need one more yellow with a yellow ochre, to paint the lighter side of the sand tunes, we'll be using yellow ochre. And then to add the textoes, we will use brown. Okay, so this one is yellow ochre. We already spoke about brown. So I think I don't need to swatch it. Now, there's one more color you will need, which is paints gray. To add the deeper tunes. We will mix some paints gray with brown. You can see on the taco side of the sand tune. So that darker brown is a mix of brown and paints gray. All right, so that summarize the colors you will need for this beautiful sunset. Here is a closer look. The first color is a mix of brown and red. Then you will need some orange, some kind of yellow, then yellow ocher, and paints gray. Before we start, let's have a quick look at the steps involved. We have tried a similar painting on day one. It was a slightly different color combination, and it wasn't this detailed, but the technique is going to be similar. We have the sketch ready. We will start with the sky. On the top, we will use a reddish tone, then some orange and towards the bottom, we will add some yellow. Then to create the sun, we will lift off some paint, and that's the most interesting part about this painting. We'll be painting the sand tunes as three different sections. First, we will go over this one at the center. For this section, we will use medium tones, and for the other two, we will use more of darker tones. Overall, it's an easy painting. You just have to play with different tonal values to create that contrast to retain the glowing effect. That's all. I hope you all got a rough idea on how to approach this painting. Now let's give it a try. Now, I'll start by adding the sketch. We need to add a sand tune. I'm going to add only one sand tune, a huge one right at the center. From here, I'm adding a line, and then I'm taking that down. Now, from the tip, I'm adding an irregular line, a nice flowy line. So this line is very important. It is based on this line, we'll add the deeper tunes and the lighter tones. Okay. So make it nice flowy and curvy. All right, so that is our main element in this painting. Now, right behind this, I'm going to add another santune over here. It is just a simple line add that over here, and that's it. That's our sketch. I think I will slightly modify this line. All right, so we have the sketch ready. I hope the colors are ready on your palette as well. For the sky, we will need brown, red, orange, and yellow. Now, when you have the colors ready, start by applying coat of water onto the entire sky. Don't add a lot of water onto your sky. We just need a shiny coat. And I'm not adding any water onto the mountain, I'm leaving it acid is. All right, so the sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. And for that, I'm going to go with my size number eight tron brush, and I'm mixing some red and brown together. This one is permanent brown and pyrol red. Mix them together. Now let's apply that onto the top of the sky. If you want to make the color more reddish, you can add more red into the mix. If you want to make it more brownish, add more brown. Okay. So those kind of modifications are okay. It's not going to affect your painting. It can be more reddish or brownish according to your choice. All right, so that's a first color. Now I'm going to clean my brush and I will co with orange. I'm really loving this color. It's a bright reddish brown. Lovely, right. Okay, so I have added enough. Now, let me clean my brush. And then let's co with orange. This one is brilliant orange. It's from Shinhan. It's a beautiful color. Again, a bright color. Now, gently blend that with red. Let's apply a bit more. I'm not putting a lot of pressure. I'm gently blending the colors. Now let's clean the brush again. There might be some red on it, and I'm picking some more orange, and I'm adding that into the sky. Now, I have some leftover space along the bottom. Over there, I'm going to introduce yellow. Okay, so let's clean the brush, and I'm going to pick some yellow. Go with any yellow you have got and apply that onto the remaining area. So closer to the mountain, I mean, the sand tunes, we need yellow. We have a little on the sy asp. Okay. Just blend that in. Now for the remaining area, I'm going to go with the lighter yellow. So I will clean my brush, and I will make yellow lighter towards a sanune. Okay. I'm dipping my bush in some water, then dabbing it on a paper towel. Now I'm making this part slightly lighter. Okay. So that's a base layer. We have a brownish red on the top, then some orange, as well as some yellow towards the bottom. Now, I'm going to quickly grab a paper towel, and then I'm going to dab off some paint from the sky. So before the background dries up, quickly lift off some paint using a paper towel. So we need a white semicircle kind of a shape over there. Do it until you're happy with the result. All right so here's our sky and the sun. Next, we are going to paint the sand tones. There are three sections here. The one on the top and the bottom is going to be the darker tones. And this one here, for that, we are going to use yellow ochre. So with any of your medium size fresh, grab some yellow ochre. Go with the medium tone and first apply that onto the entire section. Follow that shape carefully. The shape is really important here. Go the similar tonal value, don't make it too light. Now, carefully apply that along the line we have here. The shape that curve line is really important to get the character of a sand tune. Don't rush applied carefully, follow the outline. I have some more space left at the bottom. Then right after that, I'm going to go in with some brown and I will add some lines onto this background, while it is still wet. The base layer is almost ready. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some brown. It could be brown or burn Sena. Go with any color you have got. Pick only a little. Go with a medium tone again. If it's too dark, add some water. Now, add a few lines onto the surface in a sloping way. See that? Don't add a lot. The major color still has to be ellow ochre. We need some lines in between. So I've added some lines using a medium tone of brown. The lines needs to be in a sloping way and make sure to apply them before the background dries up. Okay so that's a background and the brown lines. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some yellow ochre again a little bit. And with that, I'm going to smudge these lines. To give it a softer look. Be sure your paint is not too watery. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Okay. Now with a slightly dry paint, smudge those lines. Be very gentle. You don't need to put a lot of pressure. Just run your brush one or two times until they are looking soft and smooth. Okay, so that is said. That's the first section. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry. And after that, we can paint the other two sections. All right, so that is dried up. Now we have two more sections to paint. We have one top section and a bottom section. I'm going to start with a top section. And for that, I'm using a smaller brush. The first color I'm picking is some yellow. I will add that onto the top closer to the sun. Just a little of yellow over here. Next, I will pick some orange. And I will add that next to yellow. Okay, just a bit of orange. So only onto the area closer to the sun, we are introducing some yellows and oranges colors, and for the rest, we will go with brown. Okay. Over here, add some yellow and a bit of orange. Then smudge it. Next with the same brush, I'm going to pick some brown, and I will introduce that onto either side. If you don't have brown, just go the burn sena, that will also work. Again, go the medium tone. Now let's apply that right next to orange, and let's mudg it. That's the kind of tonal value I'm going with. It's not too light. I want to really dark and in dense one of brown. Now carefully follow the outline and introduce some brown. So the sun is towards the right side. Over the left, we have a lot more space to apply brown. Say that. Whereas on the other side, we only need to add a little. Anyways, first level smudge this, I'm picking a little of orange, and I'm spreading that into the background. Now onto the other side, I will add a bit of brown onto this corner here. Okay. Now towards the top, we need to smutch the colors. It is looking like a patch. So gently cleaner brush, don't pick a lot of water. Now you can go with a light orange or just orange acts. And then apply that over here. Onto the area, which is right underneath the sun. We need a yellow orange sort of a color. Then onto either side, we can add some brown. So that's how it has turned out. It is looking quite impressive. Now, to make that contrast more intense, I'm going to add a little of darker brown. I'm picking a tiny bit of paint sky and I'm mixing that with brown, and I'm adding that darker brown on either side. Only a little, especially on the right side, there isn't much space. So just add a little over here. Okay, this will make that contrast more intense. That's how it has turned out. You can see the difference it made. Now we have one more section to paint, and for that, I will simply go with brown. First, I will apply a medium tone of brown onto the entire area. Then onto that, I will add some lines, some sloping lines using a darker tone of brown. This one is pretty simple. This one is simple compared to the other two sections. I pick some orange instead of brown. Nver mind. So go the similar tone value and apply that onto the entire section. It can be brown or burn sna. Then after that, we will go a darker brown, and we will introduce the darker tone san shadows to give it more character. For this one as well, the shape is really important. We need a nice curvy shape at the center, a free flowing shape. Carefully follow that line. Using any of your smaller brush or a medium size brush will be perfect. This way you have a better control. See that. This line is super important. When you're painting a san tune. Now onto the remaining area, I'm going to introduce the same color. This one is just the base layer. We used a medium to taco toe of brown. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some taco tone, which means I will add some paints gray into brown. Let's pick some paints gray, and a bit of brown mix them together. Now, simply add some sloping lines onto this side. You can add in as many lines as you want. Be sure they are sloping down. Add them in a similar direction. We can add a few more towards the bottom, one there, and another one there. Along that Cove line, add some darker tones like this. Once you're done adding them, we will need to smudge it to give it a softer look. Right now, those lines are very prominent. Adding the lines quickly, then clean your brush. Pick some brown again. Make sure it's not too watery. Now, smudge those lines very gently, to get a softer look. It's the same trick we did earlier for the lighter side. Over there, we used yellow ocher. Right now we're using brown, that's only difference. The rest is all the same. Be very gentle when you're smudging them. Also, you will have to do this while the background is still wet. All right, so that's how it has turned out. It's a gorgeous sunset. The sky was just a simple blend of three colors, but the sun made the difference. Anyway, now it's time to peel up the masking tape. Peel off your masking tape at an ankle. Don't quickly pull it off. Gently, peel it at an ankle. I'm really loving this painting, especially the glue we have created here. It was a quick one. I I get to try it, give it a try. Here is a closer look of this painting. I just love the glue and the contrast we have created here. It's a lovely artwork. There isn't a lot of elements, it is looking very beautiful. As I said earlier, the sun made a lot of difference. Give it a try, if I had to try it and let me know if you like it. 15. Day 11 - Sunset by the Sea: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 11 of painting quick and easy Vertica skies, and here's a gorgeous sky for the day. This color combination is one of my favorite from the tie collection. I just love the way the sky has turned out. Here's a reference I Maj considered. I didn't go by the colors exactly. I added some more pink into the sky, and I reduced the amount of yellow. Now let's have a look at the colors you will need for this gorgeous sky. The very first color you will need is violet. But I won't be using violet acids. I'll be just adding a bit of blue with violet. First I'll swatch out violet. If you want to use violet, you can use it acts. No problem. What I'm going to do is, I will add a bit of Cobal blue with violet. To make the color a bit more bluish. See that? That's a color I'll be using for the sky. Just to give it a change because I've been using violet four other skies as well. I thought of changing the color a little. Anyway, that's a first color. You can either choose to go this way or you can just use violet actus. The next color you will need is basal pink. This one is my very favorite brilliant pink from Shin hem. Okay. Now there's one more color you will need for the sky, which is any yellow or yellowish orange. This one is cadmium yellow, towards the bottom, I'll be adding a little of this. The rest is going to be violet and pink. Now the next two colors you will need is burn Cena, which is the color I'll be using for the scanty part. And then you will also need some pain screen to add the details and the taco tones. Okay, that summarize all the colors you will need for this gorgeous sky. Here is a closer look. You will need violet or a mix of blue and violet, then pink, mum yellow or any yellow you have caught, then burn Cena, and pink s gray. Before we start, let's have a quick look at the steps involved. We will start with the bluish violet, then some pink. Then a bit of yellow at the center. Again, a bit of pink. That's how the base layer is going to be. Then onto that layer, we will add some clouds. I have added quite a lot of clouds here to make it a bit dramatic. You can add a few clouds or too many like this. Next, we will go with the S. The base layer is the same color you see on the top, then we will add some texture into it, and then we will go with the sand and these rocky structure. Finally, we will add a wave to make it look complete. Okay, so those are the various steps. Now it's time to get a try. The first thing we have to do is to add the sketch. We need to add the horizon line. I'm adding that a little below the center of the paper. Now we need to add an irregular line to separate the sea and the sand. Finally, we need to add some rocks. I'm adding that onto the left side. That's a size I'm going with. I'm adding a huge rock here. Then next to that, we can add some smaller ones, which we can add as painting. We'll be just adding some smaller ones right next to the bigger rock. You can give it a better shape either now or as you're painting. That's a sketch. Now we can start applying the paint. I'm starting with a sky. Just like I mentioned earlier, the first color I'm going to use is violet and Plue. It's going to be a mix of these two colors. You can choose to use it actus or even blue. Then you will need pink and a bit of yellow. When you have the colors ready, apply a code of water onto the sky. We only need a shiny coat of water, don't add a lot. If there's a lot of water on the background, the colors we are adding will start floating around, and you won't be able to get a decide result. Only apply an even shiny coat of water, not more than that. Okay, my sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with the round brush. This one is size number eight, and I'm picking some violet first. Then I'm going to add a bit of blue. This one is cobalt blue. You can use precim blue or any other blue, or you can just use violet actus. Now, I'm going to apply this color on the top. According to the amount of blue or violet you're adding, the color can be a little different and that is totally fine. Don't worry about it. That's a color I have used from the top. We can add a bit more, and then we can go with pink. Okay. I just wanted the color to be different because we use violet for all the skies. I thought the color can be a little different than that. That's the color I have used. Next, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going with some pink. Properly clean it. Make sure there is no leftover paint on it. Now I'm adding pink right next to this color, and I'm blending it. Then I'm going to leave some gap in between and I will apply pink again towards the horizon line. So clean your brush properly, pick some more clean pink. Now towards the bottom along the horizon, I'm adding that color. Now onto that in between space, we're going to introduce some yellow, and that is the most interesting part about the sky. It can be a normal yellow or a yellowish orange. I'm using cadmium yellow orange here, and I'm adding that onto this in between space we have. You can see I'm not filling the entire area. There is still some gap on the top. I want the color to be lighter over there. I'm cleaning my brush, dabbing it on a paper towel. Then with a clean dry brush, I'm just muging it very gently. We have a lighter tone on the top, be very gentle when you're smudging it. Now, this yellow streak will add a nice character to your sky. Maybe we can add some more paint. If we can try to leave some lighter tones at the center, If you cannot, that's totally fine. Don't worry about it. Okay. That's how my sky has turned out. I'm really loving this part. We have some violet, pink, and yellow. I'm thinking of adding some more yellow into the background. To make it a bit more intense. Only at the center, I want a lighter tone. The rest can be a little intense. I will clean my brush again, and I will make the center part a bit more lighter. That's how the base layer has turned out. Next, we're going to add some clouds onto the background. It's been a couple of minutes since we have painted the background, so all the colors have settled. It is not too watery, and this is the perfect time to add a new clouds. They will stay in a shape. Now, to add the clouds, I'm going to go with a smaller brush. I always feel I have better control with a smaller brush. To add the clouds, we need a Darko toon of the same shade we created earlier, and to make it darker, I'm adding a little of indico into the mix. You can just add more blue or more indico. Either way is fine. Now I'm going to start adding the clouds onto this wet background. See that? The clouds are not spreading a lot. They are staying in shape. It is just because my background is not overly wet, and with the paint that I'm using right now, so be very careful not to use a very watery paint. And also wait for a couple of minutes. Don't add the clouds right away on a very wet background. Now I'm going to add a few more onto the top. Towards the bottom, I'm not planning to add much. I want these clouds on the top and towards the bottom. I want the pink and yellow to stay actus. Maybe we can add a few towards the bottom using a lighter tone. Let's try that. I'm cleaning my brush, and I will pick some pink again, and I'm going to add a little of this color into the mix. Okay, so this one is more like a pistol violet. Now using that color, I'm adding a few clouds over here. On this part where I have pink in the background. I don't want the clouds to be too prominent. That's why I'm using a lighter tone. You can see the difference. On the top, we have used a very prominent color. Now over here, we're using a Pasal violet. Just to give it a continuation. Otherwise, it will look quite weird. That's how the clouds have turned out. Now, I'm going to add a few more towards the top, and with that, will be done with a sky. I need to be really quick. The background is starting to dry. I'm switching back to that taco toon. To add a few more clouds. If you're happy with the result, you don't need to add any extra clouds. You can leave the weights. And also, be sure your background is still wet. If it is starting to dry, I would say it's a good point to stop adding more clouds. In my case, it is still a little wet. So just because your instructor is adding more clouds or more details onto the background, doesn't necessarily mean you have to do the same. You always have to take a call according to your situation. I mean, if your background is still wet, you can go ahead and add them in. But if it is starting to dry, it's always a good choice to stop it there. Okay. So that's how my sky has turned out. I'm really happy with the colors and the way the clouds are looking right now. Now, there's one last thing that I would love to do, which is completely optional. So have cleaned my brush. Now, with a dry brush, I'm just lifting off some paint to add a streak. See that? I wanted a lighter tune over there, and by the time the paint dried up, it's gone. I'm just lifting off some paint from the background. That's my sky. Now let's leave it for drying. That has dried completely. Next, we're going to paint the sea, and for that as well, I'm going to use the same color we use for the sky. I have some leftover paint, I'm going to use that. It's a mix of violet and a bit of cabal blue, and I'm applying that color onto the sea. Okay. Now I'm going to pick some water, and towards the bottom, I'm going to make the color lighter. Okay. Start with the medium tone, then towards the bottom, make it lighter. Now we can add some more taco toones onto the same background. So I'm picking some more violet and mixing that with Itco. And I'm just adding some lines from either side. I won't be adding a lot. It's a very small space. So don't add a lot of lines, add a few to introduce some textures and different tonal values. And that's it. Now, let's wait for that to dry. Okay, so we're done with the sky and the sea. Next, we're going to paint the sand. And for that, you will need two colors. You will need burn Cena and paints gray. I'm going to use a mix of these two colors for the base layer. Then using a taco toon, I will add some textures. So first, we're going to mix some burn scena with paints gray. It's more like a burn timber color. If you have burned timber, you can use it at. So pick some burn cena. Now, pick a little of paints gray and mix them together. We are painting a sunset by the beat, so the colors has to be a little moody and dull. That's why I'm mixing these two colors together. Usually, if it's a daytime, I used to go with burns in asts. That's the color I'm using. You can make it a bit lighter. Now apply that onto this entire area. Then we can start introducing some textures. Follow that short line and apply the paint onto the background. That's a base layer. Now let's go the taker tone Into the same mix. I'm going to add a bit more paint scray to make it darker. Now, I'm just going to drop in some lines and some shapes onto the background. See that. As the background is wet, they will nicely spread into the background. Leaving a beautiful texture. I think we can add few more patterns using a taco toon. It's not really visible. I'm adding that onto the left side where I have the rocks. Either you can call it done or you can add some more patterns. I'm going to go with a smaller brush, and I'm picking a little more paint screen. Now I will add few more patterns onto the background. Okay, so that's it. I think it's in a good shape now. I don't want to overdo and ruin it. I'm marrying them only on the left. Now we can leave this for drying. Now it's time to go the last step, which is painting the rocks. For the base layer, I'm using the same color we created earlier, W is a mix of paints gray and burn cena. I'm going to apply that onto this shape first. Then we can add some taco tones to give it more textures and realistic character. For now for the base layer, use that color as it is, and just apply that onto the shape. Okay. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray, and I'm going to add some textures onto this structure. So from the top, I'm adding some lines, some inclined line. We can add them at the bottom as well. In between, you have that brownish tone and on the top at the bottom, we have some darker tones. Add these darker tones, while the base layer is still wet. Drop in some at the bottom and some on the top, and maybe a few onto the surface as well. That's it. You don't need to put a lot of effort here. This is all we need. Next with the same color, I mean, paints gray, we're going to add some tiny rocks onto the ground. We just need to add a few here and there. Pick paints gray or a darker tone of brown, and simply add some small shapes, wherever you feel like. So we have a huge rock, then some tiny ones right next to that. A Adding them only on the left. There is no rule or anything here. You can place them wherever you want to. On the left side, we have added some taco toones on the ground. It will look really nice when we add the stones over there. On the right, we haven't added any taco toones. I think it's good to stick on the left side. I'll add one more. Be sure to add them in different shapes and sizes. Now we have one more task left. We're just adding some more textures onto the background, and also adding a way. I'm going to go back with a mix of violet and Indico. And with that, I'm adding a few lines onto the background. To introduce some more textures. Just a few, I'm not adding a lot, and it's a medium tone. It's not too dark. See that. Adding a few lines, and that's it. That looks really beautiful now with those textures. Now it's time to go with the very last task, which is adding a wave to give it a more finished look. For that, we will need either some white guage or white watercolor. Go with any of your clean brush, preferably a smaller brush. Now add a wave. Right over here. Using that white paint. I'm using white watercolor. If you have guage, you can use that asp. Introduce a white line. And maybe some textures asp. And that's it. So that's our painting for the day. I can tell you how much I love this color combination and the way has turned out. It's really beautiful. Now I will peel off the masking tape, and I will show you a closer look of the gorgeous sky. I'm really happy with that yellow streak we have at the center. I think that little element made the sky very beautiful. Anyway, here is our painting for the Day. I hope you all enjoyed the process and loved the painting how created. If you haven't tried it yet, be sure to give it a try and let me know your thoughts about it. Okay, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next beautiful sky. 16. Day 12 - Yellow Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to A 12. Our next sky is a really gorgeous yellow sky. It is not a very regular color combination that you see, and here's the image I followed. In the mag, the sky is more dramatic than mine. I wanted to keep it more simple and soft. So just in case, if you want to make it more dramatic, you can add more dates and you can add more clouds. Okay? Now let's have all the color colors you will need for this beautiful sky and mountain. So for the sky, I'll be using a variety of oranges and yellows. The major color for the sky is going to be Naples yellow. But towards the bottom, that orangish color you see, that is cadmium yellow orange. So towards the bottom, you will need a yellowish orange. That's a color. Next one is Naples yellow, which is a pastel yellow. We spoke about Naples yellow in the color palette section. So if you don't have one, please have a look at that. Now the next one is orange. This one is brilliant orange. We won't be using this color in this intensity. We'll be mixing that with Naples yellow. We only need a lighter orange in between. And finally, for the other set of clouds, we will use a darker brown, and that's going to be a mix of brown and pinks gray. For the mountain asphalt, we'll be using the same color. For the clouds is going to be a lighter tone, and for the mountain, it is going to be an extreme darker tone. All right. So that summarize all the colors you will need for this gorgeous sky and a gorgeous mountain. You will need a yellowish orange, Naples yellow, then some orange, brown or burn Cena, and also some paints gray. Okay, so keep all the colors ready on your palette. Now before we start, let's have a quick look at the steps. Step one is obviously to paint the sky. We will add the sketch first, and then for the base layer, we will use Naples yellow mostly. And only towards the bottom, we will introduce more brighter yellow. The major color you see here is Naples yellow. Then onto that layer, we will add some clouds using orange and a bit of brown to make it look dramatic. You can choose to add more clouds or less clouds that's totally up to you. Then we'll go the mountain. I've used brown and paint scray for the mountain. Then in between to create a snowy character. I have left some cab while I'm applying the paint. Okay so that's how the painting is going to be. It is actually a very simple painting, but really gorgeous one. I'm hoping you guys have all the colors ready on your palette. Now it's time to give a try. So the first thing I'm going to do is to add the sketch. We need to add the mountain. Go with an irregular shape. You can add the mountain however you like. It doesn't need to be in the exact same profile or the shape. This is the kind of shape I'm going with. We have a mountain in the foreground, and then we have a gorgeous sky. I feel like changing the shape of the mountain a little bit towards the left side. If you want to add such modifications, you can do that right now, or you can do that as your painting. Okay. So that's my sketch. We have the mountain ready. Next, you have to make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette before you start. You will need a yellowish orange, some Naples yellow, then other orange, brown or burn Cena, and paints gray. Now, I'm starting by applying a pot of water onto the sky. We only need a nice shiny coat of water, don't add a lot, and also run your brush back and forth multiple times. Now let's start applying the paint. The first color I'm going to pick is the sello wish orange. And I'm adding that right next to the mountain. So towards the mountain, I want the color to be more brighter and intense. And for the rest, I will introduce Naples yellow. Then we have to add some clouds on top of it. Only over here, I'm using this brighter yellowish orange, and I want the rest to be quite soft and subtle. We can add a little more. I'm spreading that into the sky. Okay. So I just randomly drop in the paint onto the background. It doesn't need to have any particular pattern or any particular wave. Just add the paint. Okay. That is yellowish orange. Now I'm going to go with Naples yellow. So let's clean up brush. Then dab it on a paper towel and pick some Naples yellow. And for the rest, I'm going to add the color. Okay. Only at the bottom, we have a brighter yellow. The rest is a soft pasil yellow. All right. That's a base layer. Now I'm going to go with my smaller brush to introduce the clouds. Make sure it is clean, and I'm picking some orange. First, I will add some orange towards the bottom, closer to the mountain. See that. Onto this corner, I'm adding some orange. It is not too bright and it is not too light. It's more like a medium tone. Now we could add some clouds using the same color. As we have Naples yellow in the background, the clouds we are adding will look a little lighter, and that is exactly what we need here. See that. It's a gorgeous shade. It is not too bright. It's a soft orange. As we all know, Naples yellow is a pasil yellow. That's why the color you're applying on top of it is looking a little softer, it is not too bright. Now, add the clouds, however you want to. You can add as many as you want. This one is going to be quite dramatic. So I'm just adding some more on to the top. Be careful about the tonal value. Don't make it too bright. It can be lighter or a medium tone. I'm happy with the orange clouds. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick a little of brown and a teeny bit of pins gray as well. I'm mixing them together. This one also has to be a lighter tone or a medium tone. Be really careful about the tonal value. We don't want the clouds to be too dark. Also remember to pick only a little paint. If there's a lot of paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel. Now, simply add a few more clouds onto the background. You can see the color here is a really lighter tone. In between, add few more clouds using this brownish tone, and marring them closer to orange. This will make it look more beautiful. Add those clouds wherever you want to. You have two choice here. You can either keep it simple by adding only a few clouds or you can make it super dramatic by adding a lot of clouds onto the sky. The choice is yours. I'm adding a few more over here then to a to bottom. There is some paint missing on this corner. I'm fixing that up. One of the tricky part with aclar is to know when to stop adding the clouds or any details onto your background. Because when the background has dried up, there is no point in adding clouds. Those extra strokes can ruin your sky. Whenever you feel, your background is starting to dry, Don't add in more clouds, leave it the way it is because I have the habit of overdoing things. Yeah, whenever you're feeling happy with your result, whenever your background is drying out, that's the right time. Call it done, and leave it for drying. In my case, this last cloud, which I'm trying to fix right now, was absolutely unnecessary. I'm trying to fix it up by adding some more yellowish orange over there. That is it. Let's see how that's going to turn out when it dries up. Hopefully, it will turn out good. That's a sky. Now, let's leave it for drying. Okay, so the sky has dried up. Next, we are going to paint the mountain. And for that, the only two colors you will need is brown or burn cena, and also some paints gray. I'm starting of worth paints gray. I'm using a taco toon. I'm applying that towards a top. Next with the same brush, I'm going to pick some brown. Add a der water, then pick some brown, and add that next to paints gray. On the mountain, we need different tonal values of brown and paint gray. We don't want the same tonal value throughout. At some places, it can be darker, and at some places, it can be more of a medium tone. That's the top part of the mountain. Now, as I'm coming down, I'm going to leave some gaps in between. So linear and some smaller gaps. On those gaps, you can see the white color of your paper, which will eventually look like snow on the mountain. See that? Like this, leave some gaps in between. Those gaps can be of any shape. It can be linear, or it can be a little more bicker. It can be however you want to. But don't leave a lot. We only need a letter. Next, I'm going to pick some more paints gray and Daco brown. Now I'm going to fill this part in that dakotne. Okay. So in between, we have some caps, then the rest is all darker brown and paints gray. So that's the first side of the mountain. Now, I'm going to continue with the other one, I'm picking some more paints gray, adding that over here. So it doesn't need to be a clean blend or anything. Just keep on dropping the paint onto the background. It can be rough and messy. The only thing we need here is some caps in between, which will look like the snow. Now, even if you could not leave that, that's not a problem. We can come back and add these shapes later using some wide ash or white watercour. So don't worry about it. If you could not leave any caps. Now, for the rest, I'm going to use my smaller brush. First of I will pick some brown, and I'm adding that over here. Then towards the top. I think I will use a bit more taco too. You can see the tonal value I'm using. Go for a similar tonal value. Don't make it lighter. If it's lighter, you won't have that contrast between the sky and your mountain. You see taco tone is really important. Now, just like I did earlier, I'm leaving some gaps in between. See that? Some of them are linear, some of them are just add. They are super random. That's the second part of the mountain. Now with the same rush, I will pick some pain screen, and I will introduce that in between. Just to give the mountain more textures and more realistic character. Right now it's mostly brown. All right. I'm in love with the color combination. I think the colors of the sky is going very well with the mountain. I'm really happy with the dakotons we have on the right side. But I think on the left, we don't have enough dakotons. So what I'm going to do is that my bridge on a paper towel. And then I will add some dry patterns onto the left side. If you already have enough dakotons on your background, you can just ignore the step. It is not necessary. I'm just adding some tacoons here. Mostly some dry patterns. And I'm trying not to fill up those white caps. Even if I did, it's okay. We can come back with white watercolor or ash and add them again. So I'm just adding some dry patterns to give it more textures. See that? It can be rough and messy, that's totally fine. In fact, those dry and messy patterns will add a lot of character to your mountain. Here is a closer look of the mountain. If you want to add in more tagotons or textures, you could do that right now. After that, I will show you how to add those white patterns. In case, if you could not add any caps in between. Okay, I'm nearly done adding the textures. I'm really, really happy with the colors and the weight has turned out. Some color combinations are unbelievable. They are like match made in heaven. And this one is one of a kind. I hope you guys are loving the process as well. Okay, so we're done with the mountain. Now, let's leave it for trying. Okay, so that is right completely, and you can see the gage the textures we have got here. Next, I'm going to go with some white watercolor. You can either use guage or atacar, both will work. And I'm going to show you how to add some textures onto the mountain. By textures, I mean the white snow patches that we're going to add. For that, I'm going to go with the smaller brush, and I'm picking some paint directly from the tube. I'm not adding much water. Now with that smaller brush, I'm going to add some lines and some small shapes onto the background. Don't add a lot of water, goth an opaque paint. See that. So simply add some shapes onto the background. Wever you want to, add them in a sloping way. See that. If you want to modify the sheaps you added earlier, you could do that as well. You can give them a better shape. Keep in mind not to add a lot of them. We only need few patterns here and there. Don't make it look too busy. I'm adding some on the top. You can see they are not too prominent. I'm adding somethin irregular lines. That's my mountain. I think it is in a good shape. I don't want to over and ruin it. That's our painting for the da. Now, let's peel up the masking tape. Take a closer look at this gorgeous painting. Okay, so here we are. Here is the finished painting. I just loved the color combination and the weight has turned out. I hope you guys enjoyed the process as well. We finished the tire painting in less than 15 minutes. It's a quick, had a beautiful painting. So if you haven't tried it yet, do give it a try and let me know if you liked it. 17. Day 13 - The Lighthouse: Hello, friends. Welcome today 13 of Painting Gorgeous Watercolor Skies. And here is our painting for the day. For this one, I didn't use any reference image. I had done a similar painting earlier. So I just changed the colors and turned that into a new painting. Okay, so let's start today's painting by having a look at the colors. So for the sky, I'll be using two colors. The first one is Indigo, and the second one is pink. You can see on the top of the sky, that darker blue you see, that is intco, then towards the bottom, I'll be using a pasil pink. Even for the clouds, I will be using intco. This one is from art philosophy. Okay, so that's fs color. The second one is pink. It's a pasil pink. You can either go with Pasal pink, or you can use elate a tone of rose or crimson or any other color you have caught. Now, coming to the next color. It is red. We'll need a little of red for the lighthouse. This one is pyro red. You can go with crimson or even vermilion, if you don't have red. Now the last color you will need is paints gray. We'll be using paint screen to add the rocks and also to add some textures on the lighthouse. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. I wanted a moody blue for the sky. That's why I choose to go with Indico. If you want more of a pleasant blue, you can go with precian blue as well, even that will work. Okay. Now let's have a look at the different steps involved in creating this gorgeous painting. The color combination is nothing new. We have tried a similar color combination earlier, but the approach was different. You guys might remember this painting we did on das sex. The color combination is the same, it's pink and indico. But over here, we use them in a very soft and subtle way, whereas in this new painting, we're going to make it look more dramatic. For the base layer, we will use indico and pink. Then onto that wet layer, we will add to many clouds again using Indico. Then we will paint the sea. The base layer is indico, then we will add some textures onto that. Finally, we will paint these rocks and also the small lighthouse. It's a simple, tiny lighthouse. I haven't added much details so that I can fit into my 15 minute schedule. Now let's give it try. Now that if you have discussed about the colors and the steps, we can start with the sketch. I'm adding the horizon line. Now, onto the right side, I'm going to introduce some rocky structure. This one is quite far. So you have to add them in a smaller size. First add a huge rock. Then right next to that, you can add temptini t ones. Okay. Now, on top of this rock, we're going to add our lighthouse. So first start by adding two angled lines, narrow on the top, wider at the bottom. So that's the basic shape of the lighthouse, and that's all we have to add right now. The rest we can add as we're painting. Okay, that's a sketch. Now I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready on your palette. For the sky, you will need indico and pink. You can go the different color combination if you prefer that. I have the colors ready here. I'm starting by applying a coat of water. You see my 1 " white brush. Make sure your brush is clean before you apply water onto your background. And we only need a shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot. And I'm trying to leave the lighthouse. I'm not adding any water onto that. Okay. So my sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. So the base layer is going to be a blend of pink and intco. I think I will start with pink. I will go from the bottom to at the top, and to apply the paint, I'm going to go with a size number eron rush. So first I'm picking some pink. And I'm going to apply that along the horizon. Okay. Carefully add in the paint. Don't add any paint onto the lighthouse. Just follow the shape of your lighthouse and that rock while you're applying the paint. Okay? You can go the brighter tone or a lighter tone. And if you don't have pink, just go with crimson or carmine or any kind of rose tone. You just have to use a lighter tone. Okay. So that is pink. I have applied that around the lighthouse. I have added enough pink. Now it's time to go with indico. So I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm switching to indico. As I mentioned earlier, if you want to go with prussian blue or any other blue, you could do that. It doesn't need to be indico. This one is from art philosophy. It's a very beautiful bluish indico. I have another one from Shinhin. It is more of a grayish one. It doesn't look this beautiful. For my skies, I prefer using this indico, which is more bluish. Even the one from Cenllar is more blueish. That's how it has turned out. I have some indico on the top and some pink at the bottom. Maybe we can make it a bit more darker on the top. I'm not going to blend it. I'm just going to leave it as it is. Anyway, I'm going to add some clouds onto this background. So it doesn't really matter whether it's a clean blend or not. Okay, so that's a base layer. Now, to add the clouds, I'm going to go the smaller brush. This one has size number six. I'm picking more intco. It's more of a medium tone. Now I'm going to grab a piece of paper towel and I will dab my brush on it. Just to be sure, the paint is not too watery. Okay. Now let's start adding the clouds. You can add them wherever you want to, and you can add as many as you want. See that. So the pressure I'm using here is size number six, and the pain is not too watery. That's why they're staying in shape. If your background or the pain that you're using, if it's too watery, they will start spreading a lot, and you won't get that definite shape for your clouds. It will just spread into the background. If you back to to water, you can wait for a minute. And then you can add in your clouds. You can add them wherever you want to. There is no particular rule or order here. Just go with your intuitions and add them however you want. They can be bigger clouds or smaller clouds. All right. Now, towards the bottom, I will add a few around the lighthouse. I'm using a medium tone here. It's not too dark. Towards the top, I will add in more darker tones. Okay. It's a beautiful color combination. Pink and indico, they go very well together. I can see how cargos it is turning out. For today's sky, I'm thinking of adding too many clouds, but the choice is yours. If you only want a few clouds here and there, that's totally fine. Now I'm going to add a few more at the bottom. Then I will add them on Itco. Okay. This part is looking quite nice. I'm loving that pink and indico clouds. And I'm using a lighter tone here. I don't want them to be too prominent at the bottom, where we have pink. So keep changing the tonal value according to the colors you have in the background. Now we can add some more taker clouds on to the top. This one is optional. Only if you want to add them, and only if your background is still wet, you can add more clouds. Otherwise, you can just stop it there and leave it for drying. Okay. So only on the top, I'm introducing some more clouds, using a taker tone. I'm really loving the colors and the way the clouds are turning out. It's a beautiful color combination. I'm someone who always love a pink t shirt and a blue denim, and this one is exactly the same. Anyway, I'm going to add a few more clouds onto the top over here, using a Tako toon. Just to add a bit more drama into the sky. All right. I think it's in a good place. I don't want to overdo and row in it. The major key here is to use a good quality aticar paper, especially if you're exploring on a technique, no matter whether you're a beginner or an intermediate artist. Go with a good quality aticar paper. Otherwise, you won't really enjoy the process. Anyway, that the sky. Now let's leave it for drying. The sky has dried up beautifully. I'm loving the colors. Now, the next step is to paint the lighthouse. We'll paint the base layer, and then we can paint the sea. So for the base layer, I'm going to go with the paint screen. We'll have to go with a lighter tone. Apply that on to the left side. Okay. Now, pick some water and make it lighter towards a right. Maybe we can make it a bit more darker, the color is not visible. Add that onto the left. Only on the left, we have some medium tones towards the right, we have made it lighter. Now, let that dry. In the meantime, we can start with the C. For the C, I'm going to go with tico. I will pick a medium tone, and I will apply that onto this entire area. You don't need to worry about those smaller rocks. You can just fill in the paint. For them, we'll be using a taco tone of paint sc. We can easily add them on top of this. Now, add in a similar tonal value on to the entire C. That's a base layer. Now I'm going to pick a slightly darker toone of indico to add some lines and some textures onto the background. Right now it is just a solid wash. We have to bring in more textures to make it look more beautiful. Pick a slightly darker tone of indico and add some darker tones. We can add a few on this side underneath the rock. And also a few random lines onto the background to introduce those textures. Just add in a few, we'll be adding more later. Okay. I think the sky is starting to look more beautiful. When we painted the sea because of the contrast, earlier, it was looking a little dull. Anyway, I'm going to pick some more indico, and I'll add in a few more lines. And then we can leave this for drying. Right now, I'm using a slightly darker tone, and I'm adding a few random lines onto the sea. I want a dark blue sea, and I think for the time being, it is looking pretty decent. So let's leave it for drying before we go ahead with the next steps. Okay, so that's done. Now, the next step is to paint the lighthouse. We have only added a base layer. And for that I'm picking some bread. I think the color is super bright, so I'm adding a little of brown into the mix. Okay, this looks better. Now, using this color, I'm going to add a section on the top and also at the bottom. I'm dividing this lighthouse into three sections. We'll have one section at the center, which is white in color, and on the top and the bottom, we have this reddish tone. Now, if you don't have red, you can just go with crimson or carmine or even vermin, or even brown, all those colors will work. It doesn't need to be red. Okay. So have left some space at the center. Now I'm adding another section at the bottom again in red. Okay. So that's a basic shape of the lighthouse. Now, I'm going to pick a little of paints gray, just a little, and I'm going to add some shadows on to the left. Don't add a lot. We only need some dakotones on the left. Now smudge it. See that? Now it is looking more three dimensional. Now we're going to start with the rock. To paint the rocks, I'm going to go with paint scray. First, I'm going to add some darker tones in a very random way. I will add few on the top, few at the bottom. Then using some water, I will smudge it. So simply add some lines and some shapes onto the background, using a dakotone of paints gray. We'll add a little at the bottom as well. So you can either start with a lighter tone and then add new taco toones or can go this way. This one is a very small painting, and the rocky structure is also quite small. So we don't need to put in a lot of effort here. That's why I'm adding the dakotones first. Okay. So that's a dakotones. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some water. First I will fix the shape. Okay. This looks fine for now. Now, let's clean the brush and pick some water. And with that watery brush, I'm smudging these in between areas. This will instantly give you some textures. I think I have added a lot of darker tone. For that reason, the textures are not really visible. Maybe when it dries up, it will look better. I think it is better now. Anyway, now I'm going to add some more smaller rocks next to this. I'm picking paints gray, and I will add fi tiny rocks next to the bigger structure. After that, we have to add in some more textures onto the sea, and then we'll have to add the final details onto the lighthouse. With that, we'll be done with our painting. So just add few more tiny rocks around the bigger structure to give it a more realistic feel. Also, we can modify the shape of your rocky structure. Maybe we can add few more rocks. I will add one here, and then maybe another one towards the bottom corner. Okay, so this is it. We have added enough of rocks. Now I'm going to add the rest of the details onto the lighthouse. First, I will add two lines on either side, then a triangle on the top, and that's a roof. That's all I'm going to add. I won't be adding any more details. It's a tiny painting, and our focus here is a sky. We can also add a tiny opening. It's more like a tiny rectangle. Add that onto all these three sections. All right, so that's a lighthouse. Now we have one last task left, which is adding some more waves onto the background. For that, I will use a smaller brush. I'm going back with indico. It's more like a medium to Daco toon not to light. Now using that color, I'm adding some lines. Just some wavy irregular lines. Add them wherever you want to. First, we can add a few underneath the rocks, and then you can add a few here and there. We already have enough textures on the background. We don't need a lot. Just adding a few here and there to give it a complete look. That is it. I'm really happy with the way has turned out. The color combination is really cteous. Here is about painting for Day 13. Now I'm going to peel of the masking tape. And there is our painting for day 13. I'm loving the sky and even the full crown elements. It turned out really beautiful more than what I imagined. I'm not sure if you guys are painting along or just watching the video. If you haven't tried it yet, do give it a try, and let me know if you liked it. 18. Day 14 - Snowy Mountains: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 14 of painting Quick and Easy tic skies. Our painting for the day is a simple blue sky and a snowy mountain. For this painting, I haven't followed any reference image. I wanted to include a painting with a snowy mountain. Honestly, the sky was a result of an experiment. I was just playing round with some colors, and it just happened. Okay, so as usual, let's start this journey by having a look at the colors for the simple sky and gorgeous mountain. The very first color you will need is tircise blue. For the sky, I will be using three colors. You can see some violet on the top, then another blue, and also some turquoise blue. It's a combination of three colors. I will start with turquoise blue. That's the first color you will need. Then along with that, you will also need another blue, which can be any blue you have got. I'll be using some cobal blue. If you don't have cobal blue, just go with ultramarine blue or Priscian blue or any other blue. The third color you will need is violet. This sky is going to be a combination of turquoise blue, Cabal blue and violet. Now, coming to the mountain, you will need two colors for the mountain. One is indico. We will start off with a medium tone of Itco. We'll apply that on to the entire mountain. Then to add the deeper tones. We will co with paints gray. The other colors you will need for this painting. Now, along with these, you will also need one more color, which is white, and I think it is quite obvious to add that snowy texture onto the mountain. You will need some white watercolor or white gage. Both will work. I'll be using some white watercolor. If you have gage, you can use that because it's more opaque than watercolor. The other colors you will need for this gorgeous sky. You will need turquoise blue, cabal blue, or any other blue, then some violet, indigo, and paint screen. Now, let's quickly take a look at the various steps before we start with this artwork. We will start with the sketch, we will add a simple mountain, and then we'll go in with the sky. The sky is quite simple. Onto we background, I will be adding some lines using violet, Cobalt blue and turquoise blue. Your sky will totally depend on the way you're adding the colors. If you go for more tacotons, it will look a bit more traumatic. Now coming to the mountain, we will go with Indigo and Paint scree for the base layer. And to create the snow, we will use white paint. If you remember this painting with it, over here, we leave some gaps in between while we're applying the paint to create that snowy character. Whereas over here, we are going in directly with white paint. We're not going to leave any gaps in between. If you want to follow this method that's totally fine, you can leave some gaps while you're applying the paint, or you can simply add some white paint to create the snowy character. Okay, so that's how the painting is going to be. Now, let's give it a try. Okay, so I'm going to start with the pencil sketch. We need to add a mountain, and that's the only thing we need to add. I'm starting from the left, and it's going to be tapering towards the center. Now I'm going to take it down. Okay. Now, from the center, I'm going to add an irregular line. The rest of the details we can add as we're painting. For now I add a simple sheep like this. That's our sketch. It is ready. Now I'm starting by applying coat of water onto the sky. We only need a shiny coat of water, don't add a lot. Run your brush multiple times just to be sure, the coat of water is even. We don't need a pool of water. I have left the mountain actus. I haven't added any water onto that. Now the first color I'm going to start with is tercise blue. We need a medium turn of turquoise blue. Now I'm going to apply this color closer to the mountain, leaving some gaps in between. Simply add in that paint onto the background in an irregular way. For now, don't worry about how it's going to turn out, apply your paint. I will add some more turquoise blue. I'm just adding some lines and some random shapes by leaving some cap in between. I'm not going to fill up that entire area. Next with the same brush, I'm going to pick some blue. I'm going to use cobal blue. You can go with any blue of your choice. Again, go with a medium tone and apply that in between Tyquise blue. Just like I said earlier, don't worry about anything at this point. Just drop in your paint in between Tyquise blue. Let it create a natural blend. For now, your only task is to introduce the paint onto those in between spaces. I'm adding some blue closer to the mountain onto the left side. Follow the shape of your mountain and introduce some blue. Now on to the top, I'm going to add some violet. For now, this is all we need. We have some turquoise blue and cobal blue on the background. Now, pick some violet with the same brush. I'm mixing that with cobal blue. And I'm adding that onto the top. You can either use violet actus or you can just mix that with a little of blue. Either ways, it's fine. On the top, we have that bluish violet, then Twittis center, we have some turquoise blue and Cobal blue. Now onto this background, I'm going to add some more lines using violet. I'm switching to a smaller brush to have better control. I'm adding more violet into the mix. Now I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel because I don't want the paint to be too watery. I'm adding a few lines onto the background. Using that darker tone. You can add them wherever you want to. There is no restriction, there is no rule. Just add them the way you like. Let's see how that's going to turn out. My background was over watery, and all the colors spreading to each other. I could not really retain any turquoise blue and cabal blue. It is all mixed up. Anyway, we will add some more lines. Let's see how that's going to turn out. I hope it will be decent enough. Onto this wet background, I'm simply adding some more lines to give it some interesting character. You can add the lines however you want to. You don't need to follow the same pattern. While your background is still wet, add in some lines. If your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel, before you add these lines. That's the only thing you have to keep in mind. By the time it dries up, it will look really beautiful. Don't worry about this messy state in between when the colors are wet, it will look a little messy. But by the time it dries up, it will look really soft and beautiful. That's how my sky has turned out. Now let's wait for this to dry. Let's see how that's going to turn out. Look at that. That's why I told you when it dries up, it will look really beautiful. I wish I could have added some more turquoise blue. That's the only thing I regret. Anyway, now let's proceed with the mountain. To paint the mountain, I'll be using indico and paint screen. First I'm going to start with indico. Go with a medium to darker tone. Okay. Now I'm going to apply that onto the mountain. Maybe let's start with the medium tone and gradually let's make it darker. It's a bit dark, so I'm adding some drops of water. Okay. This looks fine. Now apply that color onto your mountain. Let's start with the medium tone, and then we can gradually introduce the darker tones. For now, I'm just using indico. Now gradually, we will add some dakotons using paints gray and also a dakoton of indico. I'm adding this color onto the tire mountain. That's a base layer. Now, let's keep on adding more taco toons before the base layer dries and to add the darker toones, I think it's a good idea to use my smaller brush. I'm switching to my size number six brush. First I'm picking some indico, then adding a little of pain screen to that to make it darker. I'm minding that at the bottom. I'm just adding some lines, and I'm dragging that towards the top. As the base layer is wet. It will blend into the background and create a natural effect. You don't need to put a lot of effort here. You don't need to try and blend or smudge it. Let it be the way it is. Now, let's add more taker tones. I'm adding that from the bottom towards the top. See that? It's quite messy at the stage, but let me tell you it is going to turn out really beautiful. Now I'm going to add some more taker tones from the tip of the mountain, I'm adding that on the right side. See that. Add an irregular line at the center and add some taco tones onto the right side. Maybe we can drop in a few over here as well. In between, drop in some tacones. Don't cover up the entire base layer. We want different tonal values of blue here. Just drop in some taker tones in between. You can see the weight is turning out. We have some beautiful textures here. Now towards the bottom, we can introduce some more taco tones. I'm picking more paint screen, and I'm going to add that towards the bottom. The top part is looking quite nice. Let's pick more paint screen. Now let's add some irregular shapes and lines onto the background to introduce more texture. You can clearly see that varying tonal values here. On the top, we have a medium tone. Then towards the bottom, we have added more taco tones. Now we can lead this for drying, and then we can come back and add the final textures and details. The background has dried up. Next, we're going to add some snowy textures onto the mountain. I'm going to use some white watercolor. You can either use white gas or white acor. Squeeze out some paint onto your palette. We need an opaque paint, so don't add a lot of water. Just few drops is all we need. The brush I'm going to use is size number two. Now I'm picking some white acor with this brush. Okay. It is still an opaque paint. I haven't added much water. Now, with the smaller brush, I'm going to add some lines, some irrecular lines onto the mountain. We don't need too many patterns. We just need some white patches here and there. You can see the way how I'm adding it. I'm adding that in a broken way. It's not a thick big patch. See that? I'm madding them in a sloping manner to give it a more realistic feel. Let's add a few onto the tip as well. See that. Go the paint that is dry, don't add a lot of water. No matter whether it's white gas or white watercolor, go in a similar way. Only add a drop of water just so that you can pick the paint, not more than that. Now simply add some small shapes and textures onto the background. You can add them wherever you want. You don't need to follow the same pattern. S that. It's a very dry paint. Only with a dry paint, you can achieve this textural look, you won't be able to get this result with a loose or a watery paint. Be sure to go the dry paint and add some textures onto the background. I'm adding them mostly on the top, and I'm adding them in an inclined way. I'm going to pick some more paint, and I will add some more textures. Maybe some more thicker textures. So that. This time I'm adding more white paint, and I'm introducing some bigger patches of snow. You can add them however you like. As I mentioned earlier, you don't need to follow the same way. You can add them wherever you want to. If you want to go for bigger patches, that's totally fine. Or if you only want to add few lines in between, even that is also fine. So go ahead and add in the snowy patches according to what you have in your mind. I will add some more thicker patches, especially onto the tip over here. I'm picking more white paint, and I'm making this part more snowy. For this painting, I haven't followed any reference image. I wanted to include a blue snowy mountain, and I thought about going with different color combinations for the sky. This is what striked my mind. I'm merely done adding the snow. Maybe we can add a little towards the left. The right side is looking quite nice. But over here, we don't have any snow. Let's add some onto the left. And then we can call it done. I'm adding some thicker patches. We did a similar snowy mountain on day 12. It was a yellow sky and a brown mountain. To create the snow patches, instead of going in with white, we'll have some gaps in between as we're applying the paint. That is one method, this one is another way of doing the same thing. You can use these techniques in your future painting. Whenever you're doing a snowy mountain, you can either go with this method or the other one. Anyway, I'm going to add some more white patches along the tip of the mountain. This is just to emphasize on that snowy character. Only onto the tip, I'm adding some more white paint. That is it. With that, we are done with our painting for the day. I'm lowing the color combination and the way the mountain has turned out. It was a quick one. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape. I think it's a really beautiful sky. The only thing I regret is not adding a little more of turquoise blue, but I'm still happy with the way it has turned out. Alright, so if you haven't tried it, give it a try and let me know if you like it. 19. Day 15 - Calm Evening: Hello, lovelies. Welcome to Day 15 of Painting aticor skies. And here is our gorgeous Sunset sky for the day. We're going to try some basal colors for this sky. And for this one, I haven't used any reference image. It is actually a sky I witnessed when I was at the beach some days back. Now I'm going to explain about the colors you will require to paint this gorgeous pas sky. For the sky, I'm going to use three colors. There is a pastel orange on the top, then a pastel pink and some violet at the bottom along the prison line. The pastel orange I have used here is called John Brilliant number two from Shinhan. It's not a common color, but it's a very simple pastel orange. You just need to add a bit of orange and a lot of white to create a similar color. We have tried this in the color palette section. It can be a bit more brighter if you prefer that, it's totally fine. Now, the second color is a patel pink, which is a color I have been using for most of the paintings. This one is brilliant pink, again from Shin hen. Now you will need one more color for the sky, which is violet. This one is permanent violet. You can go with any violet you have caught. Those are the three colors I'll be using for the sky, Basel orange, patel pink, and violet. The next two colors you will need is burn Cena or brown, and also some paints gray. We'll need to paint the sand and also those rocks. For those two, you will need burn scena and paint scray. Okay. So that summarize all the colors you will need for this gorgeous painting. Here is a closer. You will need pastel orange, pastel pink, violet, burn cena, and paint scray. Now, before we start, let me walk you through the various steps involved. The very first step is obviously to paint the sky. We will add some orange on the top, then pink, and towards the bottom, we will add some violet. Then onto that layer, we will add some lines using violet again. That's how the sky is going to be. It's a simple layer gorgeous sky, which you can paint quite easily. Next, we will paint the sea using the same colors. We will paint the base layer, and we will add some textures on top of it. Finally, we will paint the sandy area using a mix of burn Cena and paints gray. We need a darker brown for this part. Then we will use paint scray to add the rocks. Those are the steps involved. It's a simple painting. It might look a bit tricky, but it is not. A way without wasting any time, let's give it a try and you can find out how simple it is. I'm going to start with a sketch first. We need to add a horizon line. Then we need to add another irregular line to separate the s and the sand. Add a horizon line a little below the center of the paper. Next to that, add an irregular line, more like a wavy line. The shape of your line can be a little different. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. Now, in between, I'm going to add some rocks. We need to add one or two over here and also along the horizon line. First, I will add along the horizon line. These are some rocky mountains. Next, I'm going to add some tiny rocks over here. All right. That's a sketch. You can add more rocks if you want to, or you can add them as we're painting. I'm going to add one more over here. Okay, that's a sketch. Now, make sure you have all the colors ready before you start. For the sky, you will need a pastel orange, then a pastel pink and violet. Those are the three colors you will need for the first step. Now, let's start by applying coat of water onto the sky. Apply a shiny coat of water. Don't add too much water. The basic idea is that, there shouldn't be any water floating around. It just has to be a shiny, nice coat. That's all we need. My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go my size number e tron brush. First, I'm making sure it is clean. Now I'm picking some pastel orange. We already spoke about this color in the color palette section. If you don't have a similar color, you can just add some white watercolor with any of the orange you have got, and you can easily create a similar color. In your mix, you should have less orange and more white. Now, I'm picking some pink with the same brush, and I'm adding that at the center. And I'm blending that with the pastel orange. Give it a nice blend. Now towards the bottom, you'll have to introduce some violet. I think I will add some more pink, then I will go with violet. I don't want a lot of violet in the sky. Next I'm picking some violet, and I'm mixing that with a bit of pink, and I'm adding that at the bottom along the horizon. Only over here, I want the color to be a bit darker. For the rest, we have a beautiful pastel orange and a pastel pink. Add a straight line first, then blend that into the background. Make sure you're not adding a lot of violet. We only need a little along the horizon. The rest has to be some soft and nice colors. Okay. So add violet and gently blend that into the background. So I've added a line there. Now with the same brush, I'm just smudging that into the background. It doesn't need to be a perfect blend. Just spread it and smudge it. That's all you have to do. Now with the same color, I'm going to add some lines onto the background. Maybe before that, I feel like making the colors a bit more brighter. I feel the pink is quite dull, and even the orange we have on the top. So let me quickly do that first. And then I will come back and add the lines. So I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going back with some pink. So what I'm doing right now is totally unnecessary. I just felt like adding some more paint onto the background. But if you feel you have enough pink and orange on your background already, you don't need to do this. Okay. So I just made the colors a bit more brighter, especially pink. Now I'm going to keep this prescie side, and I'm going with a smaller brush, and I'm picking violet again. First, I will add some more paint at the bottom, and then I'm going to add some lines onto the background to make the sky more interesting. Right now it is just a simple blend of three colors to make it more interesting. I'm adding some lines while the background is still wet. You can add them however you want. It's more like a medium tone. Using that color, I'm just adding some lines onto the background. You can add them however you like. They can be thick or thin, they can be longer or shorter. It doesn't matter. Simply add them on to the wet background. I think towards the top, we can go with a pinkish tone, not really violet. I'm picking more pink, adding that with violet, to make it a little lighter, and I'm using that color on the top, where we have orange. I think I have added enough of lines. It is looking really beautiful. Now I need to smudge it before it spreads a lot into the background. Dab your brush on a paper towel, if there is a lot of water or paint on your brush, then keep smudging it until you're happy with the result. If you want to introduce more lines onto the background, you could do that as well. It's just a matter of painting that base layer and adding some lines onto it, and that's my sky. Now I'm going to leave it for drying. Okay, so that is right. Next, we're going to paint the sea. And for that as well, we're going to use the same colors. We'll start with a bit of pastel orange. We'll add that along the horizon nine. Just a little. Then we will go with pink and then violet. The brush I'm using here is Size number six, go with any of your smaller brush. Now I'm going with pink, adding that next to orange. We don't need a lot of orange in the background. The major color we need here is pink and violet. I leave only a little on the top. That is pink. Next, I'm picking some violet with the same brush. We have some leftover violet here. Add that onto the bottom section and also onto either side. So just add some lines from either side towards the center to introduce a bit of violet onto the background. Then smudge it. Now onto the bottom section asple, I'm adding some violet. This violet is more like a patel violet. It's the color we use for the clouds. It's a mix of pink and violet. It's not a dakotne, go the similar tonal value. That is really important. I think I have added enough of violet onto the background. Now I'm going to go back with pink, just a little. I want to extend this part to give it a more organic shape. That is it. That's a base layer. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go ahead with the next steps. All right. So the base layer is ready. Now, I'm going to add a few more lines onto this background, using a medium tone or violet. Just a few lines onto either side. That looks a bit dark. It has to be thin lines. Don't make them too prominent. So go with a medium tone and add a few lines onto the background, especially onto either side. Now I'm going to add a few at the bottom as well. After that, we can start with the sand. Be sure to go with the medium tone, don't make it too dark. You can add in as many lines as you want, but be sure to go with the medium tone. Don't make it too prominent. This one is done. Next, we can paint the sand. For that, I'm going to go with a mix of burn scena and paints gray. I want a color which is more like burnt umber. If you have burnt umber, you can use it directly, or you can just make some burn scena with paints gray and create a similar color. I'm using a medium tone here. It is not too light. See that. That's the color I'm using. Now on to this Nior area, I'm going to add this color. We have some space in between asp. Now, just in case if you couldn't leave this gap earlier, you can introduce that right now. It's not a problem. Okay. Onto that in between space introduces burn timber and also at the bottom. While you're applying the paint, you can give it a better shape. So the color I'm using here is a mix of burn scena and paint scy. According to the mix you are creating, the color can be a bit different. That's totally fine. It can be a bit more darker or lighter. Don't worry about it. Now, let's fill up the rest in this color and give it a proper shape. Okay. If you use a lighter tone for the sand, the entire painting will look quite dull. So be sure to go with the similar tonal value. Don't make it lighter. I'm altering the shape a little, I'm making it a better shape. Okay. So that's a base layer. I have just used a mix of burn Cena and paints gray for the background. Now we have to introduce some dakotnes onto the same background. Maybe I will add some more paint on the top. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray, and I will add that into the mix. Now I will add that onto the background. So just drop in some dakotne onto the wet background, whereever you feel like. We have to do this while the background is still wet. It can be some small lines and small dots. They will spread into the background and leave a nice texture. You can see the instant difference those dakotons made. It is looking more beautiful now. Earlier, it was quite dull. Okay, I will add a bit more. So I'm just adding some dots in between and they're spreading into the background, leaving a beautiful texture. You can also modify the shape if there is a need. That's done. We have done adding those darker tones. Now, the only task left is to add those mountains in the background, and also the rocks in the foreground. For that, I'm going to go back with paints gray. I will use a darker tone. I'm going to add some small mountains along the horizon line using paints gray. That's the size I'm going with. You can make it a bit more bigger but not too big. If it's too big, your painting will go out of proportion. Try to follow a similar size. I'm adding two, a smaller one and a bigger one. Maybe we can add one more next to that. Okay. Now I'm going to add the rocks in the foreground. I'm going to add them over here. Starting with a smaller one. Now adding a bigger one next to that. To give it more natural look, go for an irregular shape. See that? First, I'm adding the outline, and then I'm filling that up. You can go with any shape. They can be bigger or smaller, that's totally up to you, but place them in a very random way, and don't add them all in the same shape. Okay. I added a smaller one and a bigger one. Now I will add another one, add the rocks in a very random way so that it will look more natural. I'm adding the next one here. It's a smaller one. Okay. Now another smaller one over here. That looks quite good. I don't want to add a lot. Next, I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel. And with that dry paint, I'm adding some texture on the ground. Just a few here and there. I won't be adding a lot. We already have enough daker tones over there. So just in between, I will add some try patterns using that taker tone. Okay. Now we have one more task left. And for that, I'm making my paint wet. I'm using the same tone, mix of brown and paints gray. And with that, I'm going to add some lines underneath these rocks to show the reflection. So pick some dako brown, and add a few lines underneath the rocks, go with any of your smaller brush, and add a few lines. See that? We only need a few, don't add a lot and add them underneath the rocks. Some of them can be wider and some of them can be shorter. Okay. Now we have one more rock here. F that asphalt, I'm adding a few lines. If you want to add another rock or change the shape or anything, you can do that right now. I think this rock here is a bit smaller, so I'm just going to extend the lines first. Then I will make it a bit more bicker. I feel the lines are more wider than the rock. So I'm just going to extend the shape a little more. It looks better now. Okay. That's how it has turned out. If you want to add more rocks, feel free to do that. You can add more along the horizon or onto the sandy part. Okay. So that's my painting for the day. I really like the way it has turned out, especially the sky and the reflection. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Always peel your masking tape at an ankle without rushing. Make sure your painting has dried completely before you peel off your masking tape. Here is a gorgeous basal sunset for the day. It's a lovely sky and an EC 12. Give it a try if I had to try it and let me know if you liked it. Oh. 20. Day 16 - Stormy Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome today 16 of painting Gorgeous skies. And today, we're going to paint a quick and easy stormy sky. First, we will have a look at the colors we will need. For this one, I don't use any reference image. It goes straight out of my imagination. For this painting, you will only need two colors. Paints gray and white. You can actually skip using white watercolor and just go with paints gray if that is something that you prefer. The purpose of white here is to create a patel gray. If you don't want to use patel color, you can just add water. I have a similar color with me already. This one is from Shinhan, and it's a combination of paints gray and white, and it is not a common color, and that is why I'm choosing to mix some white with paints gray. Also, if you're choosing to mix white with paints gray, we can go with different tonal values. If I'm using that ready made passel gray, I won't have much choices. First of all swatch out paints gray acid is in its darkest form. We'll be using that color for the trees as well. This one is paints gray. Now I'm going to add some white watercolor along with this. This one is more like a medium gray. Then I will add more white. Let's see how that's going to turn out. I'm seeing this again, there is no need to add white ticar. If you want to go with just water, you can make your color lighter by adding water. You don't need to add white. Because some artists may not prefer this way. It's not the traditional watercolor method. In a way, these are the swatches. The first one is paints gray acids. For the next two, I have added some white watercolor. Keep all the colors ready. Now, before we start, let's have a look at the various steps. Step one is to paint the sky. We will start with the darker gray on the top, then we'll make it lighter as we're coming down. Towards the bottom, we have a lighter gray and on the top, we have a darker gray. Then on todd wet background, we will add these clouds, and finally, we will add these trees. It's a really quick and easy stormy sky. Now let's give it a try. For this painting, we don't need any sketch. We can start painting right away. I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready on your palette. We will need paint screen and white. Once you have it ready, start by applying a coat of water to the entire paper. Don't add a lot of water. We only need a shiny coat of water. And run your brush multiple times. Just to be sure the coat of water is even. Okay. So my paper is evenly wet and I have the colors ready on my palette. I have some white watercolor, and also some paint scray, which are the only two colors you will need for this painting. Now the brush I'm going to use is a flat brush. This one is a half inch flat brush. You can go with a flat brush or a round brush. It doesn't matter. And I'm picking a little of paint scy with this brush, and then I will add a bit of white to make it into a patel color. You just need white watercolor, it doesn't need to be white ase. I'm starting off with a darker tone, a darker gray. Then gradually I will make it lighter. Now I'm going to apply this on the top of the sky. You can see the color. It is quite dark. We're creating a stormy dark sky. Go the similar tonal value. I will add a bit more. Then I will introduce more white to make it lighter. If you don't want to use white, that's totally okay, just go with water and make your color lighter, if you prefer that way. I have made the gray lighter and I'm adding that onto the background. Now I'm going to blend the colors. Now towards the bottom, I will make it even more lighter. We started off with a medium tone, then we are making it lighter by adding more white watercolor. I'm picking more, adding that. So it's more like a gradient wash of gray. We have a medium tone on the top. Then towards the bottom, we have made it lighter by adding more white watercolor. Now, I'm going to give it a good blend by running my brush back and forth in a horizontal direction. It's a beautiful color. I have a similar color in my color palette. It's a basal gray from Shinhan, but it's not a common color, so I thought of adding some white water color with paints gray, to create a similar color. The background is almost ready. Maybe we can add a bit more paint to smoothen it. That looks like a perfect background. Now onto this wet layer, we're going to start adding some clouds. Again, using paints gray. I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm going to go with a round brush. This one is size number six. Now I'm going to pick some gray again. Maybe we can make it a bit more darker. If you pay this to water, dab it on a paper towel, before you start adding the clouds. Now let's start adding the clouds. You can add them however you want to. You can add some linear lines or some fluffy clouds. You can add them wherever you like. All these things are totally up to you. You don't need to follow the same pattern or the same shape. Just add them while your background is still wet. That is the only thing matters. See that. I'm just adding some lines, some randomly shaped lines onto the background to create the clouds. I will add some more towards the top and towards the bottom as well. I want the sky to be a bit more dramatic. Just add them however you like. Like I said, it doesn't need to be in the same way. If you only want to add a few, that's totally fine. Or if you want to make it look too dramatic, even that is totally okay. As we have used white in the background, the background will be a little more creamy than just watery. That's the reason why at the moment, it looks a bit weird. But when it dries, it will look very smooth and soft. I'm really happy with the bottom. But the top part is starting to dry. I'll quickly add some more clouds at the bottom. Then I will add a few on to the top. Onto the top, I will need to go with a taco toon. Otherwise, it won't be visible. This one has nearly dried. I'm not really sure if this was a good idea. See that it's not spreading at all. It has almost dried up. Never mind. I will just add one more cloud. There is some cap in between, which just looking a bit weird. I will need to add some clouds over here. Just a few. I'm not going to add a lot as it has dried up already. Okay, so that's the sky, that's how it has turned out. I'm hoping when it dries, it will look a bit better. Right now, I'm not really impressed. Anyway, that's a sky. Now we'll have to leave this for drying. So that is completely, and it is so much better than I expected. A way, the next task is to add some palm trees. And for that, we will need a darker tone of paints gray. I'm using the same brush. This one is sized number six. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip so that you can add the palm leaves quite nicely. First, we can start with a tree trunk. I'm adding the first one over here. It's a longer one. Then next to that, I will add some shorter ones as well. I'm thinking of adding four trees. You can go with four or five e three. That's a really long tree, and I have come in with an irregular shape to make it look more natural. I'm adding some thickness now. That's a first one. Now, right next to that, I'm adding another one in a similar way, but a shorter one. Okay. Now we can add a few more. I will add one towards the right and one towards the left. First, I will add one here. Maybe a shorter one. To make the composition more interesting. Don't add them in the same way. Some of them can be a little curve, and some of them can be straight, some of them can be slanted. Go with different shapes to make it look more interesting. That's a last one. I'm going with four. If you want to add more, that's totally fine. We have the tree trunks ready. Now we need to add the palm leaves. I'm picking some more paint. First, we can add the lines, add some curvy line on the top. You can add six or seven of them. Now we'll need to fill this up. For that, I think I will go with the smaller brush. If I add the lines with this, it might turn out a bit thicker. That's a basic shape. You can actually go with these palm trees as well. I guess this one will be much more easier. Choose the one that you want to go with. Now I'm using a smaller brush and I'm filling this up. These ones are the normal coconut palm. The other one is the Mexican palm, which is much more easier, I guess. Fel free to go with the tree of your tires. Now we need to fill all of these. The brush I'm using here is size number two. Try to go with a similar size so that the lines will be really thin and delicate. Okay. Now, keep on adding these lines along that curvy line and fill up your tree. So once you have those curvy lines, you just need to fill it in. When you add them close to each other, it will automatically look nice, so don't think too much. I'm almost done with the first tra, then we have three more to go. We could also add some birds onto the sky. I think even that will be a nice addition. Some smaller ones. If you want to add some birds, feel free to do that. This tree is done. Now, I will add some more lines to make it look denser. At some places I feel there isn't enough leaves. So I'm just filling all those gaps. That's my first tree. Now we can go the second one. For the second one, I will add some details here, just adding some messy shapes to show the tree bark. Now adding some curvy lines, only on the top. I want the stree to be different from the first one. I won't be adding a lot of lines. I will just add some to the top. Next, I'm going to fill that in. The same way how I did earlier. Following that curvy line, add some tiny lines like this and fill it up. I remember earlier, maybe a few years back. I was really afraid to try palm trees. I always felt whenever I add them, it never looked realistic. That's when I started to paint Mexican palm trees instead of these ones. That was much more easier than this. Anyway, here is my second tree. I will just extend this line a bit more, adding some more lines. This one also we can extend at more. This one too. All right. The second tree is also done. Now we have two more to go. I'm starting with the third one. For this, I'm adding the lines in a different way. I'm adding them to a right. So start by adding these curvy lines, add them however you like. And then fill in those lines and finish your tree. I'm going to quickly finish this, then I have one more to go. All right. So with that, we're done with our trees. Now, take a look at your painting, and in case, if you feel like adding another tree or adding some more palm leaves, you could do that. Initially, I thought of adding another tree onto the left. Then I didn't want to overdo and row in it. So I thought of just keeping. But maybe we can add some more leaves onto this to make it look more dense. I will add one more line over here. If I had followed a similar pattern for all the trees, it would look like there is some wind blowing. But right now it looks like the wind is blowing onto only one single tree. That cannot happen. I'm just going to add some more lines over here. I really like the other version, but then I should have followed a similar pattern for all the trees, which I didn't really notice at first. Anyway, that's how it has turned out. I hope you all liked it. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape. It was a very simple painting. I think we did this in less than 40 minutes or 13 minutes. If you're okay in using white vertical in your paintings. It's a beautiful sky. It's a beautiful stormy sky. Or instead of using white, you can just got water. Even that will give you a good result, but it won't be this creamy and opaque. It will be more transparent. That is only difference. Anyways, here's our painting. You can see those trees and the gorgeous sky we have painted. I hope you all like it. Thank you so much for joining me. I'll be back here soon with our next gorgeous sky. Oh Oh 21. Day 17 - Stunning Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome today 17 of painting Quick you see aticor skies. And here's a stunning sky that we are going to try today. Now, here's a reference image I have considered. Obviously, I have changed quite a lot, but I tried to capture that glowing effect in our painting. Because to me, that was the most catchy part about this reference image. As usual, let's start by having a look at the colors. For the sky, you will need four colors. You will need some violet, rose orange and yellow for the sky. So the color you see on the top, it is permanent violet from Shinhan. That's the first color you will need for the sky. This one here. That's the first color you will need for the sky. Now, the second color is permanent rose. If you don't have permanent rose, you can go with crimson or carmine or any kind of rose or pink color. You can also use opera pink if you prefer that. This one is permanent rose again from Shinin. It's a really bright and bold rose. The closer color would be crimson or carmine. That's a second color. The next one is an orange. This one is also a very bright orange. It's called brilliant orange. Again from Shin hun. I have been using Shin hen watercolors for a while now. It's a Korean watercolor brand. They're highly pigmented, I'm quite happy with the colors. And compare to the other colors, they are quite cheap as well. Now the last color you have here is arm yellow orange. Again, from Shinhan. Those are the four colors I'll be using for the sky. You can change them according to what you've got. Next, coming to the landscape and the meadow. Obviously, you will need some sap green and paints gray. But along with that, I will also be using some orange at the center, the same orange I have used for the sky. The next two colors you will need is paint scray and sap green. I will start with sap green. Now, the final color you will need is paint screy. We'll be using paint screy to add all the deeper tones. All right, so that summarize the colors you will need for today's gauge sky. Here is a closer look of all the swatches. You will need some violet, rose or crimson, then a bright orange and a yellowish orange, and some sap green and paints gray. Okay, so keep all the colors ready. Now, before we start, let me quickly explain how the process is going to be. We'll obviously start with the sky. We will use some violet on the top, then some rose at the center, then a bright orange, and a yellowish orange at the center. The focal point of this painting is the center where we are creating that glowing effect. Over here to retain that glowing effect, we have to make the color lighter. Then on to the same background, we will add some clouds. Right after the sky, we will paint the ground. We will simply use some sap green and paint screen, and we'll just paint this part. After that, we will go with the landscape. At the center, we will use some orange, around that, we will use some sap green and paint screy to paint the rest of the area. The only part you have to put a little extra focus on is the center. But don't worry. I will guide you through. It's a really interesting color combination and an interesting painting. Without wasting any more time, let's give it a try. Let's tag with the sketch. The first thing you have to add is the horizon line, and placing it a bit below the center of the paper. Now we need to add some landscape along the horizon line. Go with any kind of shape. At some places, make it higher, and at some places, make it lower to make it look more natural. The sketch is ready. Now, for this sky, you will need some violet, permanent rose, some orange, and a yellowish orange. So make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette before you start. And when you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the sky. We'll be using four different colors for the sky, and we need them one after the other. Be sure you have all of it ready on your palette. All right. My sky is evenly wet. Now, to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number eight on brush. First, I will make sure it is clean, and I'm going to start with violet. I'm using a lighter tone. It's not too dark. Go the similar tonal value. Now, apply that shade on the top. That's a nal value I'm going with. Maybe it can be a bit more brighter, but not at. That is violet. Next, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to pick rose. If you don't have rose, you can go with crimson or carmine. I choose to add some more violet. All right. Now I'm going to clean my brush again, and I will pick rose. This one is permanent rose from Shinhan. It's a beautiful color. It's really bright. I'm adding that over here, and I'm blending that with violet. So we have violet and rose. Now cleaning my brush again, adding some more roast, what's a bottom. Now, after this, we have to introduce two more colors, some yellow over here, and for the rest, we have to use orange. So I'm cleaning my brush and I'm picking some orange. This one is brilliant orange. If you don't have any kind of orange, you can use vermilion. Okay. Now we have some more area left over there. Onto that space, I'm going to add some yellowish orange. So we have to clean up bridge again. And then this is the color I'm going with. It's cadmium yellow orange. You can use yellow or a yellowish orange. Both will work. Now, towards the bottom, I want the color to be really light over here. So I'm leaving some space there and with water. I'm making that part lighter. Only that part. So on the top, I have a brighter yellowish orange and towards the bottom, have made it a bit lighter. That's a base layer. Now I will clean that a bit by spreading the colors into each other. Then we need to add the clouds before the clouds, I need to add some paint over here. Okay, that looks clean now. Now the next task is to add the clouds, and for that, I'm going to go with a smaller brush. This one is size number six. Now, the color I'm going to use for this task is a mix of rose and violet. It's more like a purple, a gorgeous purple. Now, before you start adding the clouds, dab it on a paper towel. If the paint is too watery, they will start spreading and the clouds won't have any shape. You can see how cargo is that color is. Now, I'm going to add the clouds mostly towards the top where I have pink and violet. I won't be adding A towards the bottom. This is the area I'm focusing on. And I'm adding them only at the center. I won't be adding a lot of clouds. Right where we have pink and violet. I mean, that junction, I'm adding the clouds. I won't be adding A towards the top or towards the bottom. That is going to stay actus. I'm really happy with the colors. It's a nice color combination. I will add some more clouds, then we can call it done. So at any point, if you're feeling happy with your sky, don't overdo it. I might be adding more clouds, but that should not bother you. You have to take decision for your painting. And also, whenever you feel, it is starting to get dried up, you have to stop it there. Otherwise, you will end up ruining your sky. Okay, so that's how my sky has turned out. Now, let's leave it for drying. The sky has dried completely, and the colors are still looking very pretty. Next, we're going to paint the grassy land. For that, you will only need two colors, Sap green and paints gray. First, I will pick some sap green. I will add that on the top. Then towards the bottom, I will introduce some darker tones, which is paints gray. Go with a medium tone. Apply that on the top. I will add a bit more. Then I will switch to paint scray. I won't be adding any grassy patterns or any extra details onto the ground. I'm just going to go with this base layer. But if you want to add some grassy pattern or something, you could do that. Next I'm picking some paint scy I'm going to add that at the bottom to make it more darker. Then with the same color, I will add one or two lines onto the background to give it some texture. That's all. I won't be adding any other details. Okay. So just add a few lines. Onto the green part and add some darker toones at the bottom asper. Okay, that's it. That's our background. The next step is to paint the landscape in the background. But before that, we'll have to wait for this to try. Okay. Now the only task left is to paint the landscape, and that's the most interesting part about this painting. This landscape is going to make a huge difference to your painting. We're going to start with some orange, we'll add that over here where we have the sun. First, make sure your bridge is clean, and then pick a bit of orange. Over here where we have yellow, start by adding some orange. See that. On the top, you can add some irregular shapes. Then towards the bottom. You can simply add in the paint. Next, I'm going to pick some paints gray, and I will add that below orange. You can also use brown in between to make that transition more easier. Anyways, I have taken some pain scray. First, I will continue with this. Then I will introduce brown in between to make that smudging more easier. Right now, it looks like two different colors. So I'm cleaning my brush. I have taken a bit of brown. Now I'm smudging this part where we have orange and pain scra Earlier, it was looking like two different colors. That transition wasn't smooth. That's why I chose to add some brown in between to make it look better. Now it is clearly better. We have some orange on the top, then some brown in between and some paints gray. Now I'm going to pick more paints gray and I'm adding that towards the bottom. For either sides for the left and right, I will use more green, but towards the center where we have the sun. You have to retain these colors to create that glowing effect. Okay. I'm cleaning my brush. I will pick a bit more brown to smudge it. Be very gentle when you're smudging the paint. All right. So that's how it has turned out. You can see it is already glowing. If you want to add some more orange or some more brown, you could do that at this point. After this, we won't be touching this area. So just add a few more patterns onto the top. If you feel it is needed, if you're adding orange again, be sure not to cover up that light yellow we have in the sky. That is really important for this painting. Okay. Next, I'm going to pick more paints gray, and I will add that along the horizon line. After that, I will go with green and I will finish of the shape. I'm going with a straight line. I'm not going to add any patterns at the bottom. My major focus here is the sky, and I want to make it very simple and short. I'm not going to add a lot of details, but you can use the same sky and the same elements, and you can try different compositions on your own with more details. I have added some paints gray on either side in a very random way. Now it's time to go with sacren, because some brighter tone, don't add a lot of water and add that on to the top. I'm using a really darker tone of paints gray here. I want it to be greenish, but I don't want that to be too light. Smudge that with paincray, then onto the top, add a few patterns like this. Okay. So on this side, I'm choosing to make it more higher, and on the other side, it is lower. You can go with any kind of arrangement. Maybe both the sides can be higher or lower, that's totally up to you. Now, over here, Asp, I'm adding some sap green. And with this, we can finish off our painting. So at the bottom, we can simply add the paint and smudge that with paints gray. Only on the top, you need to add these tiny, tiny patterns. The major part is the center where we have yellow in the sky. The rest is quite easy. You don't need to put a lot of effort. But at the center to create that glowing effect, you have to start with orange, then some brown and paints gray. Next, I will pick a bit more paints gray, and I will smudge this part. Maybe on the other side asp, we can add in some taco toons. It doesn't need to be well detailed. This one is in the background, and the colors are quite dark. So it's not really visible. You can simply drop in your taco toons, and that's how it has turned out. Now, just in case if you want to, you can add some extra patterns onto the top to give it a more finished and fine look. That's the only task left. With this, we are going to call it done. Also if you want to add some birds on the sky, I think it's a nice sky to add some birds. If you want to add them, you could do that. All right, so that is it. That's our painting for the day. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape. It's a really beautiful color combination and a beautiful sky. This one is one of my favorite from the te collection, and we haven't added much details onto this painting, so you can easily finish this in less than 15 minutes. And here's a gorgeous sky for the Da. I hope you all liked it. Be sure to give it a try if you are to try it. Alright? So that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I will be back here soon with the next gorgeous vertical sky. 22. Day 18 - Sunset by the Sea: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 18 of Painting Quick and easy vertical skies. And here is our calm and peaceful sky for the day. It's a really easy and a quick one. This one is actually a remake of one of my guache paintings. It's a color combination that I loved. So there is no reference picture. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors we will need. The sky is a combination of blue and orange. The blue I have used as Prussian blue. This one is from art philosophy. It's a gorgeous blue. You can go with any blue of your choice. Preferably any darker blue. The next one is a patel orange. You can go with any orange or even vermilion, and add that with a bit of white to turn that into a patel color. This one is the original color. It's brilliant orange from Shinhan. It's a beautiful bright orange. Now into that, I'm going to add a bit of white watercolor to turn that into a patel color, and that's a color I'll be using over here. I won't be using orange in its original intensity because blue and orange are complimentary colors on the color wheel. If you are blending them, you have to be really, really careful. Otherwise, you will end up having a muddy green in your sky, which we don't need. Okay? Now, there's one more color you will need for the clouds. O is indico. I'll be using a mix of indico and blue for the clouds. That summarize the colors you will need for the sky. For the sea as well, I'm going to go with a mix of indico and blue. Now, there's two more colors you will need, which is burn Sina and paints gray. For the sandy area, we'll go with a mix of paint screen and burn scena. Finally, for the palm trees far away, we will use paint screen. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this gorgeous painting. Here is a closer look. We will need prussian blue or any other blue, then some orange, indigo, Busina, and paints gray. Okay, so keep all the colors ready on your palette. Now before we start, let's have a quick look at the various steps involved in the painting process. As usual, we will start with the sky. We will go the blind of Prussian blue and a pastel orange. That's a base layer. Then onto that background, we will add some clouds using a dacotn of blue. You can choose to add more clouds if you want to. And after that, we will go the s. Base layer, we will use prescie blue and to add the deeper tones, we will use indico. And after that, we will paint the sand, for which we will use a mix of burn Cena and paints gray. We will simply apply that color onto the background, and we'll also add some deeper tones to create some texture. And finally, we will go this loud along the horizon line, and that is it. It's a really simple and a quick one. Now let's give it a try. All right. First, we have to add the sketch. It is nothing much. We need to add a horizon line. I'm going to place it over here. Okay. Next, we need to add an island towards the right side. We also need to add the shoreline. Maybe I will start with the shoreline. You just have to add an irregular line. I'm adding that from here toward the other side. Next, I'm going to add the island over here. So just add an irregular shape first. Then on top of it, we are going to add some palm trees. They're going to be really small. For now, I'm just adding some lines. So that's our sketch. Now we can start painting. We already spoke about the colors. I'm hoping you guys have it ready. I don't have any white watercolor, so I'm going to squeeze out a bit to create that basal orange. The rest of the colors I have on my palette. Now, I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. A nice general coat of water. I'm not adding a lot. We only need a shiny coat. My sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the colors. The first two colors you will need for the base layer is brushing blue and apasal orange. To apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number eight ron brush. First, I'm making sure it is clean. Next, I'm picking some prescient blue. I will go with a medium tone, and I'm applying that on the top of the sky. See that? It's quite bright because when watercolor dries, it will become one tone lighter. In order to get a vibrant result, I'm applying a brighter tone. That is Prussian blue. We can apply a bit more, and then we have to make it lighter. It's a really beautiful blue. This one is from art philosophy. That is Prussian blue. Now I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm going to make the rest a lighter. Because we have to introduce orange along the bottom. Orange and blue are complimentary colors. So if you mix them together, you will end up getting a muddy mix. It will be more like a muddy orange. Okay. That's the main reason why I'm going with a pasil orange to avoid that. Okay, so we have applied brushing blue. I'm making it lighter again. Now I'm going to clean my brush one more time. There is some blue on my brush. Now I'm going to pick some orange, and I will mix that with white. D. It's a really light tone of orange. Now I'm applying that along the horizon line. The color is really light. This won't give you a muddy Mx. Now I'm going to gently blend it. First, I will clean my brush, then I will dab it on a paper towel. Now gently I'm blending them. It doesn't need to be a proper clean blend. We're going to add some clouds where these two colors are meeting. It doesn't really matter whether it's a clean blend or not. Now I'm going to switch to a smaller brush. This one is size number six. Now, to add the clouds, I'm going to go with a mix of indico and prussian blue. I want the blue to be a bit more darker. If you paint this to watery, dab it on a paper towel. I'm going to add the clouds over here where we have the junction of these two colors. I wouldn't be adding any towards the top or the bottom. I'm just focusing on the area where these two colors are meeting. You can add in your clouds however you like. It doesn't need to be in the same pattern or the same shape. At any point, if you feel your paint is to watery, dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, they will spread a lot and your clouds wouldn't have any shape. We can add a few towards orange part, but not a lot. As we have used a pastel orange, it won't create a mademx. I'm just adding a few smaller ones to make it look interesting. I won't be adding any towards the bottom. That's my limit. Now we can add some onto the top. If you're happy with your result already, you can stop it here. I just thought of adding some more over here. I don't want to make the sky too dramatic. That's why I'm going with a medium tone. If you want to use some darker tones that's totally fine, you can add some more intego into the x. Maybe a little more darker than this color I'm using right now. That's how my sky has turned out. I'm really happy with the colors and the clouds. Now let's leave it for drying. Okay. Our next task is to paint the sea. And for that as well, I'm going to go with a mix of indico and Prussian blue. We can use a medium tone along the horizon. Then towards the bottom. As we are approaching the shore, we can make it lighter. Okay. So go with any of your smaller brush as the space is quite small. So that's the color I'm using. It's a medium tone. It's not too dark. Now, apply a straight line carefully. Next I'm picking some water, and I'm making it lighter towards the bottom. We'll be adding some lines and some textures on top of it. This one is just the base layer. For now, simply start with a medium tone, then make it lighter towards the bottom. Even the shape, we can modify that as we're painting the sand. I'm adding a wavy line at the bottom to give it more interesting look. I'm thinking of making it a bit more wider. I'm picking a little more paint, and I'm going to modify the shape. Okay. This one is completely optional. If you want to keep it narrow, that's totally fine, leave it that way. Okay. Now we have to add in some more textures onto this. Right now, it is just a plain layer. But first, I will make the bottom part lighter. Okay. That's how it has turned out. Next, I'm going to pick a slightly darker tone, and I'm adding some lines onto this wet background. It's the same color, but this time I'm adding some more intco into the mix, and only along the horizon line, I'm adding a bit of darker tone. Then a few towards the bottom as well. They are just some random lines. They're not detailed. This is all we need for now. I think we can add a few more lines using that taco tome. We'll be adding some more textures at the end when all of these has dried. For now, this is looking good enough. Now the next task is to paint that island far away and also to paint the sandy area. But before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. Okay, that is dried. Now let's go to the next task, which is painting the sand. Now, the color I'm going to use for the sand is a mix of burn scena and paint gray. We need a color which is more like burnt umper, and I'm using my size number eight brush here. I've taken some burn scena. Mixing that with paint scra. Maybe we can add a bit more burn sa, the color. All right. Now I'm going to apply that color on to the entire bottom area. We can start from the top, give that shoreline a nice shape. I'm just pushing that into the sea to give it a better shape. All right. Now let's fill it up. So go with an irregular line and define the shape of the wave as you're applying the paint. The rest you can simply fill it up. The color is a mix of burn scena and paint scra. It can be a bit more darker or lighter. That doesn't matter. Now I'm going to pick a bit more paint scre I'm applying that towards the bottom. This spin is just a solid layer, but we have to add some more darker tones onto it, and for that, I will use a smaller brush. I'm adding some more paint screen to the mix to make it darker. And then I'm just dropping in that darker toe onto that background. Mostly along the way, and also I'm modifying the shape a little. This spin is a size number six brush, I have better control with this brush. It has got a pointed tip. The other one doesn't. Give it a nice shape first. Then drop in some darker tones on that bed background to create some texture. You don't need to add a lot. Just add a few along the top. You can leave the bottom part as it is, go with the Dako tone, and you can just add some dots or some small sheapes. It will spread into that bed background and leave a nice texture. That is it. That was our next task. Next I'm going to paint the island far away. For that as well, I think I will go a daco brown. I want to try this color. If it's looking too dull, I will go with paint screen. But first, I will try this color. The same color I use for that sand. I feel it's quite dull. We should use paints gray instead. I'm picking some paints gray with the same brush. And first I will add that shape. It's an irregular shape. You can give it a different shape if you want to. You can extend that a little more. So those things are totally up to you. I'm using paints gray acts. It's a darker tone. And first I will show that island. Then we need to add the palm trees. Okay. That's the shape I'm going with. On the top, I'm adding some irregular shape to make it look more natural. Now, when I'm looking at the painting, I feel like I should have made the orange a bit more brighter. It looks quite dull. I'm happy, but I just would have preferred a bit more brighter tone. Anyway, what's done is done. I'm really happy with the blue, but I think when it dried, the orange became a bit more lighter. Anyway, there is nothing we can do about it. So let's just go to the next task, which is adding the palm trees. For that, I will use a smaller brush. First, I will add some lines, and then we can add the palm leaves. Just add some tiny, tiny lines like this. They have to be thin and delicate. Watch your brush. Go the brush, which has got a pointed tip. And add as many lines as you want. I'm going to add maybe five or six of them. I think this is more than six. There is nine of them there. Next, I'm going to add the palm leaves. See that? Simply add a flowery shape on the top. These ones are quite far. You don't need to add a lot of details. This is all we need. Just add some messy lines on the top, maybe a messy flower, and fill it up. Okay, be sure to go the smaller brush. That is really important here. This one is far far away. So the size really matters. If you want to add more palm trees, you could do that. You can see I haven't put any effort here. I just added a simple messy flower kind of shape on the top, and that was it. If you want to add some more lines, you could do that, to give it a better shape. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Next, I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm going with a mix of indico and prussian blue to add some more textures onto the sea. I'm picking some indico. Now, I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel. I want to dry a paint. Now with this, I'm going to add some lines onto the sea. Just some irregular dry lines. My intention is to create some texture. Right now that sea texture is missing. We need to introduce that to make it look more realistic. Go the dry paint and simply add some avi lines like this. They don't need to be well detailed. You can simply add a few. We are nearly done with our painting. But before I peel up the masking tape, there is one thing that I want to change, which are these palm trees. I want to add some more details onto it. I like it, but I also feel they can be a bit more detailed. I'm going back with paint scray, and then I'm going to extend some of those lines in a very quick way. See that, and I'm giving it a better shape. I feel this is looking much more better. Earlier, they were quite rough and messy. I'm quickly extending some of those lines. Even this is messy, I'm not putting a lot of effort, but I feel they are definitely better. Now I have one more ft. I'm just extending those lines. The brush I'm using here is size number two. It is really important to use a smaller brush to get the best results. That is it with that. We are done with our painting for day 18. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here is our calm and simple beat sunset for the day. You can see those palm trees. They are definitely better now. And the color combination is really peaceful. So give it a try forget to try it and let me know if you liked it. 23. Day 19 - Vibrant Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 19. Our painting for the day is bright and bold sunset. You can see the color palette. It's not the usual kind of colors I use. So let's start this journey by having a look at the colors. For this, actually, I haven't used any reference image. It was just out of my imagination. Now, for the sky, I will be using three colors. I think they are quite evident here. You will need a violet, then some praping, and also some orange. Okay. So the first color you will need is violet. I'll be using permanent violet. The sky is kind of bright and bold, so we have to go at a medium tone. This one is from Shinhan, it's called permanent violet. That's a first color. Now, coming to the second color, it's opera pink. It's again a bright pink, more like a neon pink. If you don't have opera pink, go with crimson or any kind of rose color you have caught. Next is orange. Again, a bright orange. This one is brilliant orange from Shinhan. Those are the colors we will need for the sky. The next color you will need is indico. I'll be adding indico with violet for the sea. And then for the ground, you will need some sap green, paints gray, and also a lighter green. So for the medium green, I will use sap green. Then for the darker tones, I will use paints gray, and for the lighter tone, you can see some colors on the top, some highlights. For that, I will use car name green light. You can go with any lighter green, or you can just add some lemon yellow with sap green to create a lighter tone of green. I don't have space for paints gray, I'm not swatching that out. And here's a closer look of the colors. You will need permanent violet, any kind of rose and orange, some indigo, a lighter green, sap green, and paints green. Now let's quickly take a look through the various steps involved. The first step is to paint this bright and bold sky. On a wet background, we will drop in some violet, then some pink and also some orange in a very random way, and we'll let them blend and bleed into each other. That's how the sky is going to be. After that, we will paint the sea. We will start with a base layer. For that, we will make some violet and indico together. Then we will add some textures asper. Then we will go with the grassy land. We will start with sap green and to add the darker tones, we will use some paints gray. Then we will introduce some textures and some highlights using a lighter green. And finally, we will paint these elements along the horizon line, and that's it. Now let's work on it, and let's see how that's going to turn out. Okay. The very first step is to add the sketch. We need to add a horizon line. Then we need to add an irregular line right below that to separate the sea and the ground. So we have the horizon line in place. Next, from here, I'm adding an irregular line. Taking that down. It's just a simple irregular line. The space you see in between is a s and the bottom part is the ground. That's our sketch. Now, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette before you start. For the sky, we will need three colors. We'll need violet, opera pink, and orange. Those are the three colors we'll use for the sky. Now I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the sky. Apply a general coat of water. Don't add a lot. Make your sky evenly wet. Then onto the wet background, we'll be adding the colors. My sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. I'm using a medium sized dran fresh and I'm starting off with violet. I will use a medium tone. Now onto this wet background, I'm going to randomly apply some lines of violet. So thicker and thinner lines in a very random way. On the top, I have added some violet now with the same tonal value. I'm simply adding some random lines. See that. Leave some gap in between when you're adding these lines. You can add them however you like. You don't need to follow the same pattern. Now, in between, I'm going to introduce some opera pink. So let's clean the brush and switch to our second color, which is opera pink. If you don't have opera pink, you can go with crimson or carmine or any kind of rose color. I'm using a brighter tone here. It is more like a neon pink. Now I'm going to apply this color onto the sky. First, I will add a little at the bottom. Then I will introduce that in between those violet lines. I'm using the same brush. This one is size number eight. I've applied pink at the bottom along the horizon line. Now let's add them in between violet. Towards the bottom, you will also be adding some orange. That's why I have left some gaps in between. Now simply drop in that pink onto your wet background. The colors will blend into each other and create a beautiful texture on its own. You don't need to put a lot of effort. You can drop the color, however you like. I think the violet is pretty less. We have to add some more to make it look interesting. With the same brush, I'm picking some violet. I'm going to add that in between, mostly the same places where I introduced earlier. Now over here. That is pink and violet. Now I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going with orange. This one is brilliant orange from Shinhan. Now, I'm applying that at the bottom. If it's do watery dab it on a paper towel, and then introduce onto your background. I'm adding orange only at the bottom. On the top, we have violet and pink. I'm not touching those areas. Let them stay tous. I'm adding orange only at the bottom. Okay. We're almost done with the sky. If you want to add some more colors. I mean, if you want to add some more violet or some more pink. You could do that right now. You can make them more intense, and you can make your sky look more dramatic. I think I will add some more pink and some more violet. I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going back with pink. I'm picking a brighter tone, and I'm adding a few more lines onto the background. It is still wet so I can make use of the time. I'll add some on the top. Next, I will go with violet. I will add some violet lines as well. Just a few. I'm adding some paint on the top. Now a little over here. Okay, we are nearly done with a sky. It's a very bright and bold sky. I'm really loving the vibrant colors here. It's not the usual color palette we use. Anyways, now it's time to lead for trying. The sky has dried and the colors are still looking very vibrant and beautiful. Now our next task is to paint the sea. For that, I'm going to go with a mix of indico and a bit of violet. I don't want to use violet acids, so I'm mixing a little of indico with violet. To turn that into a bluish violet. That's a color I'm going to use. It's a mix of indico and violet. You can go in any proportion. Now I'm adding that color on to the background. I'm using a size number six pressure. First, you can fill up that entire area in this color. Then we can gradually start adding more textures onto it. Okay. The color you see here is a mix of violet and indico. Instead of indigo, you can use any other color of your choice. I mean, any other blue. It will still give you a similar color. The base layer is almost ready. I'm following that outline and I'm filling up that space in between. Now onto this, I'm going to add some lines using a Taco tome to bring in some texture. Right now it is just a solid wash. First I will make the horizon line straight. The base layer is ready. Now I'm picking a little more indico. And I'm going to add some lines onto the background. If you paint this to wet, dab it on a paper towel, and then add in these lines. Otherwise, they will spread into the background a lot, and they won't look like lines. Just add a few lines for now. We'll be adding more textures later when it has dried. I think for now this is looking good enough. If I add a lot, they will just spread into the background as it is quite wet. Let's leave it for drying and come back when it has dried completely. Oh. The base layer has dried up. Now, I'll call the same tonal value we used earlier, and I will add some more lines and textures onto the background before we go with the ground so that we can finish it off and then go the next step. If you paint a super watery, dab it on a paper towel, before you add these lines, I'm using the same color, mix of violet and indico, and a slightly darker tone. I'm using that paint, I'm adding some lines. So are thicker, some are thinner, some of them wavy. I'm just going with different combinations. See that. We don't need a lot of lines, just add a few in between. This one is in the background. You don't need to put a lot of effort here. It is good to go with a dry paint. If you feel like your paint is to water, dab it on a paper towel, and then add these lines. The dry paint will lay a texture and it will make it look more beautiful. I will add a few more, and then I will go the next step. See that? Don't add a lot, leave enough of space in between. We want to see that background color asph. That's done. Now, let's go with the last task. What's is painting the ground? The first color I'm going to go with is Sap crane. I'm taking enough of paint on my brush. Okay. Now let's apply that onto the background. I don't know, I feel this color is quite bright. We can make it a bit dull by adding some orange, so it will be more like an olive green color. O, which is so much better for evening landscapes. This one is a mix of orange and sap cream. Now I'm going to apply this color onto the background. It of sap green. If you have olive green with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix orange with Sap cream. The color will be similar. Just drop in that paint onto the background. It's a mix of orange and sap green. You can use any orange. Okay. I'm just adding that paint onto the background. Now we need to add some darker tones. For that, I'm picking some paints gray. Mix some paints gray and green together and create a darker tone. Then towards the bottom, introduce that darker tones, and also a little in between. This one is super Atom, you can just add the paint. On the top, we need some medium tones, and towards the bottom, we are making it more darker. I will need to add some more paint onto the top. I'm going back with olive green, mixing orange and green together. And I'm adding that along the topmost line. There is some paint missing here and also on the other end. I'm just adding that in. Then I will go back with the darker tone. All right. I have added olive green. Now I'm going to pick paints gray again, adding that onto these in between spaces, and also adding a few lines. See that? Just introduce some lines in between to give it more texture. Now onto this corner. Now you can clearly see a difference. It is starting to look like a grassy hand. Earlier, it wasn't. Once you have added your olive green, go with pines gray and make your greener. Now introduce some lines onto that wet background, and also some textures at the bottom. That's how it has turned out. If you want to add some more daker toe, you could do that. Now, there's one more task we have to do before we call it done. For that, I will need a lighter green. This tip is completely optional. If you have any kind of lighter green, go with that. This one is Cadmium green light. If you don't have any lighter green, mix a little of lemon yellow with sap green. Then use that color to add some high lights. I'm just adding a line there, and irregular line, and a bit over there as well. Now here. I'm just adding some lighter green onto the background while it is still wet. Just add a few random lines like this from the top towards the bottom. Now, Dab brush on a paper towel, and with that dry brush, smudge it into the background. This will leave a nice texture. It will add some realistic character to your painting. See that. We have different tonal values of green here. We have a medium green, a darker green, and a lighter green and look at that. Go is right. That lighter green made a lot of difference. You can really feel that grassy land here. It's so beautiful. Initially, I thought of leaving the horizon line actus without adding any elements. But I'm thinking of adding a small mountain far away, just to give it a more complete look. I'm picking some paints gray. I'm going to add a small mountain onto this right end. It is super small, go with a similar size, if you're adding it. Otherwise, you won't get that perspective right. The elements which are far away has to be small to get a sense of distance. I'm just using paint screy actus. I'm adding a teeny tiny mountain here. Maybe we can add one more next to that. I'm leaving a little gap, and I'm adding under tiny mountain next to that one. Super tiny. That is it. That's our painting for the day. I hope you all liked it. I'm really happy with it. It's not the usual color combination, but it turned out really beautiful. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. My background hasn't dried completely, but I'm going to go ahead. I will do it carefully. If your paint is still wet, maybe you can give it a couple of minutes and peel off your masking tape at an ankle only after your background has tried completely. Here is our painting for Day 19. It's a gorgeous sky, and I really like the way how the grassy land has turned out with those lighter tones. Beautiful ride. Give it a try if I get to try it and let me know if you liked it. Thank you so much for joining me. I'll be back soon with our next gorgeous sky. 24. Day 20 - Dusk by the Ocean: Oh Hello Lovelys. Welcome to Day 20 of painting beautiful watercolor skies. Our painting for the day is a lovely sunset by the beach. Now, here's the reference image I considered. It's quite different. There are more elements in this photograph. I just took inspiration from the color combination and kept it simple so that it can fit into our 15 minute schedule. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors we will need. To paint the sky, you will need three colors. The color you see on the top, the blue, that is Prussian blue. You can go with any blue of your choice. It doesn't need to be Prussian blue. You can use Indigo or ultramarine blue or any other blue. Okay. So that's the first color you will need for the sky. Now, there are two more colors you will need, which is a yellowish orange. This one is mu yellow orange. For the base layer, we'll go the blender of blue and the s ellish orange. Then to create some clouds, we will use a brighter orange. This one is brilliant orange. Okay, those are the three colors you will need for the sky. Now, for the sea, I will use prussian blue again. And then finally, for the sandy ground, I will co with burn Cena, and also some paint scray. So for the base layer, I will mix up some burn scena with paint gray, to create a color which is more like burnt umber, then to add the deeper tones, I will co with a darker tone of the same mix. Okay. You can also use brown instead of burn cena. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this gorgeous evening. You will need prussian blue or any other blue. Then a yellow or a yellowish orange, a bright orange, burn Cena, and paint gray. Alright, so keep all the colors ready. Now, before we start, let's have a quick look at the various seps involved. The first step is to paint the sky. We will start with brushing blue. Then towards the bottom, we will introduce a yellowish orange. So the base layer is a blend of these two colors. Then onto that, we will add some clouds using a brighter orange. After the sky, we will paint the ground. We will start with a mix of burn Cena and paints gray. Then using a darker tone of the same color, we will add some textures. And then finally, we will co the sea. We will use prushing blue for the background. Then onto that, we will add some deeper tones. And finally, we will add these grassy patterns and also a wave. Okay, so that is it. Now it's time to give it a try. I'm starting with a sketch. First, we have to add a horizon line. Then another line below that, an irregular line to separate the sea and the sand. The sketch and the composition is similar to the one we tried in the previous day. That's how the sketch is going to be. Over here, we have the sand and that in between space is the sea. We'll be adding some textures and all those details onto this as to your painting. For now, we just need a rough line like this. Now you have to make sure you have all the colors ready before you start. We need a yellowish orange or yellow, then orange and prussian blue, and also a little of white. I have all the colors ready here. Now I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the sky. As I always say, we only need a general coat. Don't add a lot of water onto your sky. The only thing we need is a shiny coat of water and make sure it is even. We don't need pools of water in between. So run a brush multiple times back and forth, just to be sure the water is even. All right. Now I'm going with my size number eight un brush, and the first color I'm going to go with is brushing blue. We'll go this slightly darker tone, and we can apply that on the top of the sky. As we're coming down, we have to make the color lighter. So start off with a similar tonal value, which is slightly darker than a medium tone. Now I'm going to wash my brush. And I'm going to make it lighter. So along with blue, we're going to use orange and yellow, which are complimentary colors. So if you mix orange or yellow with blue, you will end up creating a muddy green in your sky. To avoid that, I'm going to go with a pastel yellow before you go with yellow or orange, make sure your brush is clean. Now, I'm picking a little of cadmium yellow orange, mixing that with white. It is a pastel color. Now I'm going to add that color along the bottom. Along the horizon line, introduce that basal color. You can also use Naples yellow if you have one. Next, with your clean brush, gently blended. Don't put a lot of effort, be very gentle, and don't run your brush downwards, only go upwards. This way you won't mix yellow and blue together. That's a base layer. Now, we're going to add some clouds onto this background to make it look more interesting. I think I've added too much blue. I will just need to make it lighter. With a clean brush, I'm gently smudging this part. All right. That looks fine. Now, I'm going to keep this brush aside, and I'm going to go with a smaller brush. I'm using the same color, Cadmum yellow orange, but this time without any white. And with that color, I'm adding some lines onto the background. I won't be touching the blue part. I will just concentrate on the yellow section, and I'm just adding some lines over there. So we're not going to add any clouds onto the blue part. We are just focusing on the yellow section at the bottom, and add a few lines like that. Next, we can add a few using orange as well. Mostly along the horizon line, to give it a contrast. So pick up some orange. It could be vermin or any other orange, and add some lines and blend that into the background. Okay. Now with the same color, maybe you can add one or two clouds on to the top, right above yellow. This one is completely optional. Only if you're confident enough, you could do this. Otherwise, just skip it. I'm not taking a lot of paint. I've taken a little with the tip of my brush, and I'm adding a few lines here. It's more like a basal orange. It's not a bright orange. Okay. You can see have taken bare minimum amount of paint, and I'm adding one or two clouds here. Okay, so that's how this has turned out. It's a beautiful sky. It's a beautiful color combination. But as there are complimentary colors, you just have to be careful. That's all. Anyway, now let's leave it for trying. Okay, the sky is done. Next, I'm going to go with a sandy part. And for that, I'm going to go with a mix of burn scena and paints gray. So pick up more burn scena and less paints gray and mix them together. To create a color which is more like burnt umber. Here's the color I'm using. It's more like a lighter tone. We can add more taco tones once we have added the base layer. Okay, go the similar color and apply that onto the ia area. I'm using a size number eight brush here. Go within your your medium size brush and apply that e onto the ia area. The base layer is ready. Now, I'm going to go with a smaller brush to add the rest of the details. This one is size number six, and I'm picking the same colors again. Burn Cena and pins gray. But this time the tonal value is darker than earlier, it's not too light. Now with that taker to, I'm going to add some shapes and some lines onto the background to create some texture. So you have to do this. Earlier background is still wet. There can be some small and some small shapes. See that? I'm adding them at the center now. Maybe we can make the color a bit more darker. I'm picking a little more paints gray, and I'm adding that into the mix, and with that color asple, I'm adding few shapes at the center. It's more like some dots and some small lines. I'm just trying to create some texture here. Next, I'm going to do the same thing onto either side. From the top, I'm adding some lines towards the bottom. See that? Now, similarly on the other side as well. It is elevated on either side, and that's what we're trying to achieve here. Just drop in some darker tones on either side and drag your brush towards the bottom. Maybe we can make it a bit more darker. In a similar way, I did here. I'm adding some more paint screen into the mix. With that color, I will add some more lines from the top towards the bottom. See that. Use a smaller brush for this step. We don't need bigger patterns. Go with size number six or four or five and add some patterns like this from the top towards the bottom. If you're failing they are too much, you can smudge it to give it a softer look. First, I will apply some paint onto this corner, then I will show you how to smudge it. Okay. Now, I'm just going to smudge those lines. See that. I don't have any darker toone on my brush. I have taken that lighter tone, and I'm just spreading that colors into the background. Very gently, I'm not putting a lot of pressure. Be very light handed and drag those lines down. I think this one is better than lier. Earlier, those darker toes we too prominent. This one is definitely better. That's how it has turned out. Now we'll have to wait for this to try. Okay, so that is right. Now, before I go with the C, I think I will add some more textures onto the background. And for that I'm going to go back with the same color, mix of paints gray and brown. Now, I'm going to dab my brush on a paper towel. We need to add some right textures here. Okay. Now, from the top towards the bottom, I'm adding some random right textures. To give it more character. Make sure your brush is dry. If there's a lot of paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel before you do this step. Only from the top, add some irregular lines towards the bottom. It doesn't need to be perfect. We're just trying to create some texture here so they can be rough and messy. So don't worry a lot. Go that dry paint and add some textures in between to give it a more finished look. I'm adding some towards the center as well. So the only thing you have to keep in mind is that you should be having some dry paint on your brush. It should not be watery. And with that dry paint, you can create as much as textures as you want. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. We are nearly done with this. We'll be adding some grassy pattern at the end. For now, this is looking fine. Next, we're going to go with the s. So I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going back with prussian blue. We can use a medium tone just like the one we used on the top and apply that onto this entire shape. It's a small section, so be very careful. Use a smaller brush and apply that paint onto that section we have at the center. Then gradually, we can introduce some textures using Intego. For now, just apply a solid layer. That's a base layer. I was thinking of using Indigo, then I thought we could use some paint scray and mix that with blue to create a color which is very similar to Indigo. I'm paying a little of paint scra and I'm mixing that with Prussian blue, and the color is very much similar to Indigo. Now with this color, I'm adding a few lines onto the background. Don't add a lot. It will turn quite dark. So just add a few in between. We'll be adding one more set of waves once this has dried. Let that dry. In the meantime, we can start with the grassy pattern, and to add them in, I think I will go with a smaller brush. I will use my size number two on brush. And the color I'm going to go with is paints gray. Enough of pain scre on your brush. Now, this one is more like the reds you see on the beaches. I'm adding them on either side. So go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip and pick up some pain scre simply add some lines like this. I won't be adding a lot of details. I'm just adding some taller ones and some shorter ones onto either side. I won't be adding any grains or any extra details onto it. It is just going to be some free hand lines. Towards the bottom, you can add some smaller ones. See that? And with a top, you can make them long and cov. These are just some free hand lines, nothing complicated. But in order to get them right, you have to go with a smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. The brush I'm using here is size number two, and it's a perfect brush. It has got a real really nice pointed tip, and I can add these free hand curvy lines quite easily. See that. Try to add them in different direction and different height. Some of them can be long, some of them can be short, and some of them can be really cov. These little details will make it really beautiful. Okay. I'm nearly done adding this. If you want to add more, you could do that, maybe some more longer ones, and you can atom grains on the top. Anyway, I'm stopping it there, and I'm going to go back with Indigo. The indigo I created by mixing some prussian blue and paints gray. And with that color, I'm going to add some more texture onto the sea. The ones we added earlier, it's not really visible. So I'm just adding a few more lines to make it more prominent. It is a really small section, so be careful. Don't add a lot of lines. We want to see some medium tones in between as well. So just a few lines are all we need. Next, there is one more task for which I'm going with some white watercolor. And with that, I'm adding some waves in between. This one is completely optional. Only if you want to add a wave, you could do this. Otherwise, asphal, our painting is in a quite decent condition. This one is just an extra detail. Only if you want to add a wave, you could do this. And you don't need gas you can just go with white watercolor. You can use the leftover paint you use for the sky and just add one or two waves using a smaller brush and don't add much water to the paint when you're doing this. Try to go the dry paint. Okay. So that is it. That's a C and the waves. With that, we are done with our painting for date 20. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. It's a lovely color combination, and even the composition turned out really pretty. I loved it. I hope you all liked it too. And here is a closer look of our gorgeous beat sunset. Look at all those details. I think those grassy pattern add a lot of difference. So, that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next beautiful sky. 25. Day 21 - Grey Sunset Sky: Hello, friends. Welcome to day 21 of painting quick and easy watercolor skies, and here's our sky for the day. It's a simple, yet a gorgeous sky. In the reference image, the sky is a moody brown, but I used a gray, and also I changed some of the details. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors. For the sky, you will need a patel gray and a patel orange. Those are the two major colors you will need. And then along with that, you will also need a brighter orange. So the patel gray is a mix of paints gray and a bit of white watercolor. If you have a similar gray with you, you can use it directly. I have a similar gray from Shinhan. Here it is, but I'm choosing to mix my own gray by adding some paints gray with white watercolor, and that's the color you see here. That's a color you see on the top of the sky. For the C as well, I'll using a similar color. The second color is a pastel orange. This one is John Brilliant number two. It is not a common color, but you can make it quite easily. You just have to add some white worth orange. We need a lighter orange, which means you have to add a less orange and more white. Now, along with that, you will also need one more color, which is a brighter orange. If you're choosing to create basal orange, you can use the same orange for both the steps. For the first one, you will need to add white along with your orange, and then for the next step, you can use your orange actus. In short, you will only need paints gray, a brighter orange, and some white watercolor. But just to complete the color palette, I will swatch out paints gray in its original intensity. Without adding any white or any water. We'll be using a similar tonal value for the mountains, and also to add the textures. These are the colors you will need. Paint s gray. If you have a petal orange, you can use that, or you can just go with a brighter orange and some white watercolor. Now let's discuss about the various steps involved. The very first step is to paint the sky. We will go with a blend of pastel orange and pastel gray. We will also introduce some brighter orange along the horizon line, and then onto that base layer, we will add the clouds. Right after that, we will go with the sea. We will start with the base layer, which is gray. Then we'll add some textures onto that using a darker tone. Finally, we will add these mountains and rocks. That's how the painting is going to be. It's a really interesting color combination and a really beautiful painting. Now let's give it a try. Let's start with the sketch. I'm adding the horizon line. I'm placing that over here. Next, we have to add some mountains. I'm adding the first one on the right side. Next, I will add another one on the left, a little below the horizon line. That's a sketch. We can modify the shape as we're painting. For now, simply add a rough line like this. Now we can start painting. I hope you all have the colors ready on your palette. We're going to use basal colors for the sky. I have some white here, then some paint screen, basal orange, and also some bright orange. Those are the colors you will need for the sky. Now I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky using my 1 " flybrush. Apply a nice gentle coat of water, don't add a lot, and make sure it is an even coat. If there's a lot of water on your background, the colors will float and you won't get the decided result. It is very important to have a clean even coat of water. My sky is evenly wet. Next, I'm going to switch to a flat brush to apply the paint. If you have a gray with you, you can use it directly. I mean some pastel gray, something like this one here. I won't be using this one. I will just make some paints gray with white aclar because this one is not a common color, and I want to be on track with you all. I'm just picking up some paints gray, mixing that with white, and that's a color I'm going to use for the sky. I'm going to start applying this color onto the top of the sky. I will apply this almost three fourth of the sky. Then towards the horizon, I will introduce a basal orange. You can go the lighter gray or a darker gray, totally up to you. If you don't want to add white watercolor, you can just make your paints gray lighter and use that color for your sky. The major reason why I'm adding white is that. Paints gray has some granulating property. It tends to leave some texture while the paint has dried. That's why I'm adding some white with it. Next, I'm going to go the sinc color. I'm washing of the paint from my brush. I'm going with John Bul number two. This one is a really light basal orange. You can just add some white watercolor with any of the orange and create a very similar color. Now, I'm applying that towards the bottom. I will just fill up this area. Then I will blend that with gray. I really like this color combination, gray and pistol orange. There is some gray on my brush. I'm going to clean it up, then I will tap it on a paper towel. I will pick some more orange, and I will apply that along the horizon line. To make it a bit more brighter. I'm again blending that with a gray. That's our base layer. We have a pasel gray and a pistol orange. Now let's keep this pressure aside, and I'm going to pick another brush, this one is size number six brush, and I'm going with some orange, a brighter orange, and I'm going to add that along the horizon line. A will bring in some contrast and we'll also make our sky look more interesting. You can also use red if you don't want to use orange. You can just add a few lines and then smudge that into the background. The background is still wet. You don't need to put a lot of effort. Just add a few brighter tones along the horizon line. To make our sky look more interesting. We don't need a lot. I'm focusing mostly on the left side. I don't want to cover up that lighter orange. That's how it has turned out. If you want to add some more orange, you can do that. I'm adding a little on to the right side. And then I will go ahead with the clouds. I'll just add one or two lines over here. That's all. I'm not adding a lot. Okay. The base layer is ready. Now we can add in some clouds to make it look more interesting. To add the clouds, I'm going to go with a mix of orange and gray. I want the color to be more like a moody brown or maybe a moody gray. That's a color I'm using. It's a middy color. Now let's start adding the clouds. If your paint is to water, dab it on a paper towel before you start so that it can have a shape. If it's too watery, they will start spreading into the background, and they will end up having no shape. Make sure your paint is not too watery. Now you can add in your clouds however you like. I'm not going to add much towards the bottom. I'm focusing on the area where I have gray. Also that area where the orange and gray is mating. Okay. So the shape and the way you're adding the clouds is totally up to you. You can add some smaller clouds or bigger clouds. It doesn't matter. Just add them while your background is still wet. Go the combination of smaller and bigger clouds. This way, your sky can look more natural. Okay. I'm really loving the color. Next, I'm going to pick a bit more gray, a darker tone, and I'm adding that onto the top. Only onto this cloud. So towards the bottom, I have a brownish tone, and onto the top, I have introduced a much more taker tone. I'm kind of happy with the sky, but I also feel like adding some more clouds. So if you're happy with the sky, you don't need to add any more clouds. You can just call it done. For me, I always have the habit of overdoing things, and that is exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm adding them only on the top. The bottom area, I'm leaving it actus. Okay. It's a really beautiful color combination. You definitely have it to give it a try. You can use this in your future painting successful. It's a very calm and peaceful color combination. You might have seen a similar color combination when you have been to beaches. I have witnessed this, especially this bottom part is really beautiful. Anyway, I will just drop in some more paint over here, and with that, I'm going to call it done. But I think that wasn't a good idea. The background has almost dried up there. That's it. That's my sky before I overdo and ruin it. I'm going to leave it for drying. Oh. The sky has dried completely. Only this part is looking a little weird because that part has dried up when I have applied the clouds. But never mind. I'm quite happy with the rest, so I'm just going to continue. Now, the next step is to paint the sea, and for that as well, I'm going to go with a gray. The same peel gray we used earlier. Mix up some paints gray with white watercolor and apply that color onto the entire s. Then gradually we can add more lines and more textures. Here's the color I'm using. It's a mix of paint scray, and white watercolor. I'm using a size number six press here. Now I'm going to apply this color on to the entire area. See that. It's slightly darker than the color I use for the sky, and I'm filling that entire area in this color. You can leave out the shape. You don't need to leave out the shape in a very precise exact manner. That's really fine. We'll be using a dakot of paint screen for these mountains. So we can cover that up. This is actually for us to understand where we have to add the dakotons. That's a base layer. Now, I'm going to grab some dakoton of pain scray to add the remaining textures and details onto the water. I'm using a dakoton of paint scray. With that color, I'm adding some lines and some textures onto the background, while it is still wet. Underneath the mountains to show the shadows, you can drop in some taco toone. Then along with that, you can simply add some lines as well. This is just the base layer. We'll come back to this and we will add more details. For now, we are just introducing some random textures. I'm adding some more taco toe over here, and also along the horizon line, where I have the other mountain. Right now, we're adding these lines on a wet background. Once it dries, it will look blurry, it won't be too prominent. We'll have to add more once the background has dried up to give it more texture. For now, we're simply adding some lines on a wet background. You can add them however you like. They don't need to be perfect. I will add a few more lines. Then we can leave it for drying. After that, we have the mountains to paint, and also we need to add some final textures onto the sea. Okay. So I have added some daker toones underneath the mountains to show the shadows. Now I will add a few more lines. And that's it. So that's a base layer. Now let that dry. Now let's go the rest of the details. Before we go the mountains, I think we can add the textures onto the sea and finish it off. So I'm going to go the darker tone of paints cray. I'm using a size number six press here. Go to the medium to darker tone. Now using that color, let's simply add some lines onto the background. They can be thicker lines or thinner lines. They can be wider or sh. You can add them however you like. Just keep on adding them onto the background, using a smaller brush or any of your brush with a pointed tip. We're trying to create some texture here. More the lines, your background will look more realistic. For this tip, there is no rule or order. You can simply add in these lines. See that? Right now, the lines are adding, they are quite thin. But in between, I will also add some thicker lines to get more texture or to make it look like the water is moving. Okay. Let's add some thicker lines. See that. In between, I'm adding some thicker lines. This can be the waves as well. Go with a little more paint and add in a few thicker lines, some thicker wave lines. You can add in as much as you want until you're happy with the texture. But don't overdo. We still want to see that background color. Now I'm going to add a few along the horizon, just a few thinner lines, and that's it. That's how the background has turned out. Now our only task is to paint the mountains. For that, I'm going to go with a darker tone of paints gray. I'm simply going to fill in that shape. So go with an irregular shape. You can add the shape first, and then fill that in with a darker tone of paints gray. Same goes to the other one. We have one more mountain on the left side. You don't need to go the same shape and the same location. You can add them wherever you want to. Okay, over here, I have a huge mountain far away. Now after this, I'm going to paint the other one. This kit is not entirely visible, but that's fine. We can just go with an irregular line and then fill that and paints gray. Okay, so I'm going to go the second one. I will start with the outline. Then just like the other one, I will fill it up. All right, so I have added the far away mountain and the rocks and the painting is looking quite nice. But I think this line is not straight. I will just made a straight line. I think the sky turned out really beautiful when we added this allloud. Maybe it is because of the contrast. Anyway, the only thing I'm not really hay with is this cloud here. I shouldn't have added that. Now I'm going to add a smaller mountain far away. Just a teeny tiny one along the horizon line. Yeah, that's it. That's our painting for the day. If you want to add some birds or some other elements, you could do that. I'm going to go ahead and peel up the masking tape. It's a beautiful color combination. To make it even more interesting, maybe you can add some red along the horizon line when you're trying the same color combination next time. That's all for the day. Here is a closer look of our painting. Beautiful, right. I just love the color combination and the way the sky has turned out. Except for that one cloud on the top. Okay, so thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next gorgeous sky. 26. Day 22 - Turquoise & Pink Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to date 22. Today, we're going to paint a simple at a gorgeous beach sunset with some rocks at the bottom. For this painting, I didn't use any reference image. It was something I saw while watching a movie. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors. So for the sky, you will need three colors. You can see a blue on the top, that is turquoise blue. Then we have some pink here and also some indico. So the first color you will need is stercoise blue. We will paint the base layer using turquoise blue and pink. And then using indico, we will add some clouds onto the background while it is still wet. Okay those other colors you will need for the ball layer. Now to add the clouds, you will need some indico. We will use indico for the C as well. We have turquoise blue, pink, and intco. For the C, we will use a metium tone first, then using a taco toon, we will add the textures. Finally, for the rocks, you will need some paints gray. Just like the C, we will use a metium tone for the base layer, and then using a taco toon, we will introduce some textures. Those are the colors you will need for today's painting. If we want to change turquoise blue with some other blue, you could do that. It's totally up to you. Anyway, here is a closer look of the swatches. You will need turquoise blue, pink, indico, and some paints gray. Now before we start, let's have a quick look at the various steps involved. First, we're going to start with the sky for the base layer, as we discussed, we'll use turquoise blue and pink. Then onto that layer, we will add some lines using indico. That's how the sky is going to be. It's a simple, yet a beautiful sky. Then right from there, we will go with the S. We will start with the metam turn off indico for the base layer. Then onto that, we will add some lines to bring in some texture. And same goes for the rocks as well. We will go with a medium tone first. Then to add the textures, we will use a darker tone. It's a really quick painting, which you can do in less than 15 minutes. Anyway, now let's give it a try. All right. Let's start with the sketch. First, we need to add the horizon line. I'm going to add that a bit below the center of the paper. Then we need to add some rocks at the bottom. It just need to be a simple outline. You don't need to put a lot of effort now. We can add all the details and everything later as we're painting. For now, I'm just adding some sheats like this. You can add some bigger rocks and some smaller rocks, add them however you like. I'm just adding some shapes here. The space in between is going to be the sea. The major part of the painting is the sky. Then we have some sea in between and some rocks at the bottom. I have added plenty of rocks. If you don't want to add this much, that's certainly fine. That's my sketch, The sketch is ready. Next, we can start applying paint onto the sky. We already spoke about the colors. For the sky, you will need turquoise blue, some pink, and also a bit of indico to add the clouds. I'm hoping you have the colors ready on your palette. I have them ready here. I'm going to start by applying a t of water onto the sky. Using my 1 " flat brush. Make sure your brush is clean before you start and apply a nice even t of water onto the entire sky. So my sky is evenly wet. Now I'm going to start applying the paint onto the sky. For that, you can either use a flat brush or a round brush. First, we're going to paint the base layer. I'm going to use a round brush. This one is size number eight. It's a medium size brush. First, I will make sure it is clean. Now, I'm going to go with a medium tone of cise blue first. I'll be applying this color on the top part of the sky. Then towards the bottom, I will introduce some pink. Don't make the color too light, go with a medium tone. We want a brighter sky. So that's a tonal value I'm using. This one is turquoise blue from white nights. If you want to use any other blue that's totally fine, you can go with Prussian blue or cabal blue or any other blue of a choice. It doesn't need to be turquoise blue. Next, I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm switching to pink. This one is a pastel pink. Again, I'm picking a medium tone, and I'm going to apply this along the bottom. Then I will blend that with turquoise blue. We need a straight line along the horizon, so carefully apply your paint. Now I'm going to blend this with turquoise blue, give it a gentle blend. And I'm running my brush toward the top to make it even. That's our base layer. Now I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm going to go with a smaller brush to add the clouds, this one is sis six. The color I'm going to go with is intco. I only have a little paint here, but that would be enough. Pick up some indico on any of your medium side brush. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Now using this color, we're going to add some lines onto the sky. Just some random lines. See that? We need to add them while the background is still wet. That's a major thing you have to be careful about. Don't wait for a longer time. Add these random lines onto your sky. While the background is still wet. Okay, I will add some more onto the top. You can add them however you like. If you don't want to add this much, even that is fine. Maybe you can just add one or two at the bottom and another 12 at the top. Now, I'm going to dab my brush on a paper towel. I have added enough of lines, but they are quite messy. I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. Now, with this brush, I'm gently smudging those lines to give it a better look. So there isn't any paint on my brush, and it is kind of dry. And with that dry brush, I'm just smudging those lines. You can see the way they are spreading. So this step will prevent that further spreading and give those lines a better shape. Okay, so that's how my sky has turned out. If you want to add some more lines and make your sky look more interesting or dramatic. You could do that. Maybe you can go the dakoton and add some more lines onto the top like this one. But I'm quite happy with the weight has turned out. So I won't be adding much. I'm going to call it done, and I'm going to leave it for trying. So the sky has dried. Next, we can go the sea, and for that, I'm going with Itco. I will go with the medium tone, and I'm going to apply that onto the entire area. Then we can add some textures onto it. Otherwise, it will look plain and empty. So go the medium tone of Indigo first and fill up this area. That looks a bit dark. I'm adding some water to make it lighter. Then carefully run your brush along that son line, give it a straight line. And also, you can follow the same outline of the rocks and fill up the space in between. It's still quite dark. I'm picking some more water to make it lighter. I'm not going to add any textures or any lines onto the background right now. Once I've done applying the paint onto the background, I will leave it for trying, and when it has dried completely, I will add in those textures. For now, I'm just going to leave it as a background layer, a solid wash of indico, nothing more. I will add some more paint at the bottom. You can see some patches here. To cover that up, I'm adding some more paint. Okay, that's the base layer. It's a medium tone of indico. It's not too light and not too dark. Go the similar tonal value. Once you're done applying the paint, take a break and leave it for trying. Next, we're going to add some textures under the same background. It has dried completely. And for that, I'm going to go with a medium tone of indico again. And I'm simply going to add some lines onto the background. If the paint is to water, dap it on a paper towel. Now we just keep on adding some lines onto the background. This brush here is size number six, go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip, and just add some lines onto the background. That's all. It is nothing complicated. Some of the lines can be longer, some of them can be shorter. It doesn't matter. Just keep on adding some lines to create a texture. Then later, we can add some thicker lines as well to make it look like there are some waves in between. For now, just focus on adding these kind of lines. And fill that entire area. We have used a similar technique for many paintings. It's the same. First, you have to paint the background. In this case, it is indico. Then you need to add some lines onto that background to bring in some texture. Now, I'm going to add some thicker lines in between to show the waves. See that. Just add some random thick wavy lines. You don't need to add a lot, just three or four lines in between. That's all we need. That's how it has turned out. We have our C ready. Next we're going to paint the rocks. For the rocks, I'm going to go the paints gray. We will start with the medium tone, then we'll add some textures onto it using a taco tone. I'm really loving the textures we have got here, and those v lines made a lot of difference. This one is real really done. Next we can go the rocks. I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm picking a medium tone off paints gray. And I'm going to apply that onto this entire area. Then we can gradually add more textures. Go with the medium tone. Don't make it too dark. The base layer has to be a lighter tone or a medium tone. Initially, I thought of using brown for the rocks, but I wasn't really impressed, and then I decided to go with different tonal values of pains gray. Let's start with the medium tone of paints gray. Let's apply that to the entire background. Then we can gradually start introducing some textures using a darker tone. Carefully follow the outline and fill that in. This one is more like a medium tone. Initially, my plan was to go with a lighter tune. But then if I make it really light, the color will be much more dull and lighter when it dries. That's why I'm using a medium tone here. The color won't be too faded. This side is done. Similarly, I'm applying paint on the other side as well. Okay, so we have nearly done adding the paint. Next onto this wed background, I'm going to introduce some taco toones to bring in more textures. Okay. So I have taken some taco toon. And I'm adding that in between. So while you're adding these darker toones, try to create a rough shape for the rocks. It doesn't need to be perfect. Simply add in a shape like this, using that taco toone. And along with the shape, you can drop in some taco tones in a random way. Okay. I'm not really following the skits I added earlier. I'm just adding that, however, I feel like, I'm picking more paint, adding some more taco toons over here. Now onto the other side. Give it a of sheep and then add your tacotons. We have to do this while the background is still wet, so make it quick. That is the second step. I have added some taco toones. You can see the instant difference to taco toons made. Now how they are starting to look like rocks with all those textures and everything. Now, if you want to add some more taco toons, you could do that. I'm picking some more taco toon, and I'm going to add that along the bottom side of the rocks. So just take a look at your painting and wherever you feel, you need to add some more taco toons and textures. You could do that. You don't need to worry much. Even if you overdo this step, it is still going to look very pretty. Okay. Paints gray has a granulating property on its own. So automatically, it will add some textures onto your rocks, and that is one of the major reason why I switched from brown to paints gray so that I can make use of its natural properties as well. Anyways, that's how it has turned out, if you want to add one more rock or if you want to add more textures, you could do that. I'm kind of happy with the result, so I'm going to call it done, and I'm going to peel off the masking tape. It was a very simple painting, and the color combination we use for the sky is really beautiful. And I loved the rocks as well. It was a very simple process. But we managed to paint a beautiful set of rocks. Here is a closer look. I hope you all liked it. If we get to try, do give it a try and let me know if you liked it. 27. Day 23 - Sunny Beach Day: Hello, lovely. Today, we're going to try a simple a cogeous day at the beach. It's a bright blue sky. I think so far, we haven't tried any bright blue sky. So here is one for a change. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors you will need. The first color you will need is turquoise blue to paint the sky. We will make use of the paper white, and also some turquoise blue. For the s as well, we'll be using turquoise blue. So that is our first color. If you want to try a different blue for your sky, you could do that. That's not a problem. Okay. Now, the second color you will need is Cabal green. We'll be using this color for the sea along with turquoise blue and some indico. That's our second color. Now the next color you will need is indico. We will only need a little of indico to add some deeper tones and textures onto the sea. That's our third color. Now, along with this, you will also need one more color, which is burn scena. We'll be using burn scena to paint the sand. That's our last color burn scena. You can also use brown instead. We will only need a lighter tone. Those are the colors you will need for this bright day at the beach. If you want to go for a different color for your sky, you could do that. That's not a problem. You can use Cabal blue or cilian blue or any other blue of your choice. What I have here is turquoise blue, cabal green, indigo, and burn sina. Okay, so keep all the colors ready. Now let's have a look at the various steps involved before we start with this painting. The first step is to paint the sky onto a wet background. We will introduce some turquoise blue by leaving some gaps in between. Those shapes will eventually turn into clouds. After the sky, we will go with the sand. We will use a light to turn off burn sina and then we will paint the sea. For the base layer, we will use Cis blue and Coval green, and then we will add the waves using white what color. It's a simple yet engorgeous blue sky, which you can use in your future paintings as well. Now, let's give it a try. I'm starting by adding the horizon line and also a wavy line to separate the sea and the sand. That's my horizon line. Next, I'm going to add an irregular wave line over here. The top part is going to be the sea, the bottom is going to be the sand. That's all the sketch we need to add. Now we can start applying the paint. The only color you will need for the sky is turquoise blue or any other blue of your ise. I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. I have my color ready here. Once you have it ready, you can apply a coat of water onto the entire sky and make it evenly wet. Make sure your brush is clean before you start. Now apply a nice even quart of water and make your sky evenly wet. When you're painting wet on wet skies, it is really important not to add pools of water. We only need a shiny at of water. That's all we need. So run your brush multiple times back and forth to make sure the t of water is even. Now, I'm going to go with my size number six on brush to apply the paint. Whenever I'm painting a cloudy sky, I go a smaller brush to get a better control. And in this case, it's a smaller paper. Size number six works quite well. You can go with six or eight or any similar number. Okay, I have taken enough of turquoise blue on my brush. Now I'm going to drop in that onto the wet background. And when I'm adding that, I will leave some shapes. Se that. That's going to be my cloud. As the background is wet, the pain will start spreading. So eventually, the shape of the cloud will start getting smaller and smaller. At the beginning itself, leave a bigger shape. Okay. Now onto the remaining area, I'm adding turquoise blue. So only on the left side, I have left some shapes. Now towards the bottom asple, I will leave some clouds, and for the rest, I will just introduce turquoise blue. I'm leaving some shapes here as well, some smaller shapes. You can leave the shape, however you like. It can be smaller clouds or bigger clouds. It doesn't matter. While your background is still wet, drop in your paint while leaving some shapes in between. Don't use a two watery paint. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Be our background is too watery. If the paint is also really watery, they will start spreading, and you won't be able to leave those shapes. That's how it has turned out. I won't be adding any shadows for these clouds. Maybe we can try another one or some shadows. To start with, let's just leave some white caps. I'm almost done with my sky. Whenever I'm painting a cloudy sky like this, where I have to retain the paper white, I don't normally leave it for drying. I mean, natural drying. I use a blue dryer to speed up the process. Otherwise, the paint will start spreading too much, and by the time it dries up, the clouds will be really small. I always use a blue dryer when I'm painting white cloudy skies. And here's the result. We can still see those paper white, and the clouds have turned really beautiful. That's my sky. Next, I'm going to start with the sand. To paint the sand, I'm using a lighter tone of burn cena. I will add that onto the entire background first. Then we can drop in some textures using a slightly darker tone. First, pick some lighter tone of burn scena or brown. Both the colors will work. I'm adding some water. This is the tonal value I'm going with. Simply fill in that area. We have a wavy line there. You can follow that outline and fill in that space. You can also use yellow ocher if you want a lighter tone. This one is Burn scena. Now I'm going to pick a tiny bit of paint sra, and I will mix that with burn scena to create a slightly darker tone. Okay. Let's pick that paint screen. Literally a little bit. Mix that with some burn cena. Now, drop in that paint onto the background. You can see the tonal value. It's not too dark. It's more like a medium tone or a lighter tone. Just add in some small shapes and dots onto the wet background to create some texture. We don't need a lot. This is looking fine. That's a sand. Now, I'm going to leave it for trying, and after that, we can start with the scene. Okay, so we have the sky and the sand ready. Next, we're going to paint the sea. And for that as well, I'm going to start with some turquoise blue. Then I will go with some cobal creen, and to add the tex soes, I will use some indico. Okay. So let's go with a medium tone of turquoise blue first. Now, I'm adding that paint along the horizon line. We need a straight line over here, and you can see the tonal value. It's a medium tone. Go with the similar tonal value. Now, add that along the horizon line and also add a few random lines onto the background, and then clean your brush and go with Coval crane. Now, for the rest, you can introduce Coval crane. Okay. We started off with turquoise blue, and now we're adding some cabal green onto the background. You can add that until that wavy line. Okay. We can also introduce some more taco toons. I think the turquoise blue is not really visible. And also, this is not a straight line. So I need to fix that as well. It is kind of a straight line now, and with the same color, I'm going to add some lines onto the background. The one I added earlier, it's not really visible. Now I'm going to quickly go back a cobal crea, and I'm going to fill up the rest. I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm picking some more cobal cream, and I'm filling up this area. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. In a way, we're going to add some textures and waves onto this. It doesn't really matter whether it's a clean blend or not. I will add some more lines onto the background. The color I'm using here is turquoise blue, and I'm adding a few more lines onto the background while it is still wet. Then later, we can add some more lines using intc. For now, this is all we need, so we can leave it for trying. Now, the next step is to paint the waves. We're going to add a nice wave over here. And for that, you will either need some white guache or white watercolor. I'm going to use some white watercolor. If you have gase, you can use that as it is more opaque than watercolor. It doesn't matter you're using white guache or white watercolor. Don't add a lot of water. We need an opaque paint. Now, to add a wave, I'm going to go with the smaller brush. This one is size number two. I'm adding few drops of water, not a lot. Just so that I can pick the paint. Okay. Now, I'm going to start by adding a wave. So it's going to be a thicker white line. And then we can add some more textures onto it. So right where you have that boundary, you can add a thick line using white paint. See that. I'll make it a bit more thicker towards the left side. The first step is to introduce this wavy line. Then with the same paint, we can add some random lines like this onto the upper side. See that. There are some simple messy wavy lines. We are trying to create some texture here. Keep on adding them until you feel like you have got that wave like texture. You can also go the dry paint and add some dry patterns, if that is what you prefer. I'm just adding some lines here. So messy lines. Okay. You can keep on adding these textures until you're happy with the result. Also if you want to make the way more thicker, you could do that as well. Next I'm going to add a wave far away with the same paint. I'll just add a wave line over here. Just to show there is a wave approaching. Okay. You can make your paint dry and give it some textures like this. That's all. I'm just adding one wave far away and another wave at the bottom. That's it. I don't want to overdo and row in it. Now, before I call it done, I'm going to go with some indico to add textures onto the background. Right now, I don't think there is enough textures. So I'm going with a medium tone of indico. I'm using the same brush. This one is size number two. Before I add the lines, I think I will add a mountain far away. This one is along the horizon. And I'm adding a small mountain far away. Now, maybe we can add another one right next to that. Over here, I'm adding the next one. Now with the same color, I'm going to add some lines onto the background, to give it more textures. Don't use a darker tone, go with a medium tone. First I will add some textures undernea the wave, and also a few random lines. You can see the color. It is not too dark, it's just a medium tone. Go with the similar tonal value. That is it. We don't need to add much. Maybe we can add a few along the horizon. And that's it. I don't think we need to add any extra lines. This one is looking quite good. Now, there's one more thing that I want to do. I feel like these mountains are not dark enough. I'm just going to add one more layer on top of it. Using a slightly taco toon of indico. I'm just going to cover that up. Now it is visible. Earlier, it wasn't really visible. Okay. That is it. That's our painting for the day. I'm really, really happy with it. It's a simple, yet a beautiful sky. You can use the same sky in your future paintings as well. Anyway, it's time to peel off the masking tape. Next time, we can try another sky, another blue sky with some shadows. For this painting, we didn't introduce any shadow for the clouds. That could be the next one. Anyway, here is our painting. It's a really calm and pretty sky. If you want to add some palm leaves hanging from the top, that would be a great addition. So give it a try if I had to try it and let me know your thoughts about it. 28. Day 24 - Colorful Sunset: O. Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 24 of painting Quick and es atic skies, and here is a gorgeous sky for the day. It's a multicolred sky. And here is the photograph I considered. I know they look entirely different. Initially, I had plans of adding more clouds and more details, but I like the sky and I thought of keeping it this way. In a way, let's have a look at the colors we will need for this gorgeous sky. For the sky, you will need three colors. There is some blue, then some rose, and a yellowish orange. I will start with the blue. You can go with any blue of your choice. The one I'm going to use is Cobal Blue. This one is from art philosophy. It's a gorgeous blue. Next, you will need rose or crimson. This one is permanent rose. It is from a brand called hinhan. It's a beautiful, bright pink. Next, you will need some yellowish orange or any orange or yellow. This one is Came yellow orange, that's a color I used at the center. Okay. Te are the three colors you will need for the sky. Blue, rose, and some yellowish orange. You can see some violet here. It's actually a mix of these two colors. These are the colors you will need for the sky. Now, coming to the meadow, you will need some sap green, and for the deeper tones, you will also need some paints gray. That actually summarize the colors you will need for this painting. Now the last color you will need is paints gray. We will use this color to add the deeper tones, and also to add those details along the horizon line, landscape. Here's a closer look of all the swatches. You will need cobal blue or any other blue, then some rose or crimson, then some yellowish orange, sap green, and paints gray. Keep all the colors ready. Now before we start, let's have a quick look at the steps involved. Just like all the other paintings, we will start with the sky. We will start with blue on the top. Then we have some permanent rose here, then a yellowish orange. Toward the center, I will make it lighter. Then I will again go with some rose at the bottom. So that's how the base layer is going to be. Then to that, I will simply add some clouds using a brighter orange and also some rose. To make it look more interesting. You can choose to add more clouds or less clouds. Now coming to the meadow, at a simple blender of sap green and paints gray. We will also add some lines onto the background to create some texture. Then we have these final elements along the horizon line. For that asphalt, we will use paints gray. Okay, so those are the various steps. It's a quick and an interesting sky. Now let's give it a try. First, I'm going to start with the sketch. The sketch means nothing, just a straight line. We only need to add the horizon line, and placing that a bit below the center of the paper. That's a sketch. Now the top part is going to be the sky, and at the bottom, we have a meadow. Now, before you start, you have to make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. We will need a blue, then some rose, and also some yellowish orange for the sky. I have them ready here. Now, when you have these colors ready, you can start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Apply clean even cot of water. Don't add a lot and also make sure your bridge is clean. Before you start applying water onto your background, My sky is evenly wet. Now I'm going to start applying the colors onto this wet background. Using a round brush. This one is size number eight. Go with any of your medium size brush. I'm starting off with Cobal blue. I think I picked the wrong blue. That one is clean blue. I'm going to clean it off, and I'm picking Coal blue. Maybe I will need some more paint that won't be enough. First, I will squeeze out some paint. I'm hoping my background will stay wet. I have the color ready. I'm going to pick some more blue. I want a brighter tone. So it's more like a medium to darker tone. And I'm applying that on the top of my sky. You can see the kind of tonal value I'm going with. It's kind of bold and bright. That is Cobal blue. You can go with any blue of your choice. It could be prussian blue or ultramarine blue or any other blue. Next, I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm going with permanent rose. I'm again going with a brighter tone, and I'm applying that next to blue, and I will blend them together. It doesn't need to be a straight blend. You can blend them however you like. You can go for act motion or angle lines or anything. It doesn't need to be that straight line a blend. That is rose and blue. Now I'm cleaning my brush again, and then I'm going with a third color which is cadmium yellow orange. You can go with a yellow or orange. This is the color. It's a yellowish orange. I will apply this color, and I will roughly blend that with a rose. Wherever that bright rose and this yellowish orange is mixing up, I'm getting a brighter tone. But at the center, I want the color to be lighter. Over here, I want a fresh yellowish orange. I will add some more yellowish orange, and then I will go with permanent rose again. Next, I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm picking some permanent rose. If you don't have rose goth crimson, the result will be a little different, but that's totally fine. It is not going to affect too much. Okay. I'm adding that bright rose along the horizon line. Then I will roughly blend that with the yellowish orange. Let it be a rough blend. Don't put a lot of effort. This way, we can have some lines and some clouds on the background. See that. Just keep smudging the colors. You don't need to blend it really. That's how it has turned out. Now, I'm going to go with a smaller brush and I will add some more clouds onto the background before it dries up. I'm using a size number six brush here, and I'm picking a bit of rose, not a lot, and I'm adding some lines onto the background to create some interesting clouds. At the center, I want to retain that yellowish orange. So I'm not going to add any clouds over there. Now I'm going with a mix of yellowish orange and a bit of rose. See that. It's more like a brighter orange. Using that color asphalt, I'm adding some clouds onto the background, but I'm leaving the center actus. I'm not adding any clouds over there. That's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with it. If you want to add some more clouds or some more colors onto the background, you could do that right now. Only if your background is still wet. I feel like adding some more clouds over here. This way, I can introduce some violet into the background, but that's not necessary. Yeah, that's a sky. If you want to add some more clouds, you could do that, or I can call it done and leave it for drying. I'm thinking of adding some more clouds towards the bottom. I'm going to clean my brush and I'm picking some more rows. Again, I'm telling you, this one is completely optional. Only if your background is still wet and if you want to make it more interesting and dramatic, you can add a few more clouds. But otherwise, as well, we are in a decent stage. If you want to call it done, you're more than welcome. I'm not adding any clouds at the center. I'm just adding few around that area. Now I'm smudging it with a dry brush. Luckily, my background is still wet and that's why I'm able to smug these colors quite easily. It hasn't dried yet. That's a gorgeous sky for the day. Now I'm going to leave it for drying. Okay, so the sky has dried completely, and the colors are still quite beautiful. Next, we're going to paint the meadow. And for that, you will need some sap green and paints gray. As it is an evening scene, I'm thinking of adding some yellowish orange with sap green. The mix of these two colors will give me a color which is similar to O olive green. So I'm picking some sap green first. And then I'm going to pick some yellowish orange. And I'm mixing them together. This one is more like a light olive green. Now I'm going to apply this color along the horizon line. See that? You don't need to go with this color if you want to use sap green acts, that's totally fine. Or if you have olive green with you, you can use it directly. Next, I'm going to drop in some sap green. Only along the horizon line, I have a lighter tone. Now I'm using a medium tone. Then towards the bottom, I'm going to add some paints gray. Take enough of paints gray on your brush and drop that at the bottom to bring in all those deeper tones and textures. I'm not planning to add any grassy textures or any other details onto the meto. I will just add few lines onto the background, using the stacker tone, and that's all. I'm wiping off that excess paint. I'm just pushing and pulling that paint into the background, and I'm just adding some lines. See that? This is just to give it some texture. You don't need to add a lot. Along the top, we need a lighter tone. Then a medium tone and then a darker tone. And then onto that background, you can simply add few lines like this. To introduce some texture. Okay. That is it. That's our meadow. If you want to introduce more deeper tones, you can do that. I'm adding a little more at the bottom. I'm quite happy with the rest. That's a meadow. Now I'm going to it for drying. Now, coming to the last age of this painting. We're just adding those landscape far away along the horizon line. For that, I'm going to go with paints gray as it is. If you want to go with a darker toon of green, you can do that, or just go with paints gray. This is a very simple step. You just have to add an irregular shape along the horizon line. Using a dakoton of green. I'm going to add that along the end horizon line. At some places, I will make it higher, and at some places, I will make it lower to give it some interesting character. Only if you add some details along the horizon line, your painting will look complete. Otherwise, it will look quite plain and empty. Even though this one is a very simple step, it will give you painting a finished look. Okay, so don't skip it. If you want to add some trees or something, you could do that. Now over here, I'm going to go with a slightly bigger shape. Maybe next to that, I will add a smaller shape. Go these details. Don't make it look the same throughout. At some places, you can go for a bigger shape, and at some places you can make it smaller. That way, it will look more natural. Now I'm going to continue the same till I reach the other end. I've added a basic shape. Now at some places, I'm going to introduce some more details and be more paint. And I'm going to add a shape here. A bigger shape. Start by adding an irregular shape, then you can fill that in a darker tone of green or paints gray. You can make it even more higher if you want to. I'm going to stop it here. I'm quite happy with the result, especially the sky. That's our painting for the day. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. If you want to add some birds onto the sky, you could do that. I think birds would be a great addition. Anyway, it's totally up to you. I'm going to call it done. For me, it's time to peel off the masking tape. Other than the sky, we haven't added much details onto this painting. It's quite simple and empty. But you can try the same sky in your future paintings. It's a very interesting sky, and it's a beautiful color combination, too. So give it a try for you to try it and be sure to incorporate this gorgeous sky in your future paintings. My favorite part about the sky is this lighter area we have at the center. So just by playing around with the tonal values, you can create gorgeous effects in your sky. All right, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next beautiful sky. 29. Day 25 - Glowing Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 25 of Painting Quick Kane Watercolor skies. And here is a gorgeous sky for the day. Now, here's a reference image I have considered. Obviously, it is not entirely the same. I simplified that a little. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors we will need. So for the sky, I will be using four different colours. The first color you will need is violet. You can see that color on the top. Then there is some rose, some orange, and some yellow. So those are the four colors you will need for the sky. I will start with violet. This one is permanent violet from Shinhan. Okay. Instead of violet, you can also use blue. For the sky, we'll be using more like brighter tones. You can see the tonal value here. Okay, so that is violet. The next one you will need is permanent rose. If you don't have permanent rose, go with crimson or carmine. This one is a bright rose. Next, you will need some orange. This one is brilliant orange. Again, a really bright orange. Go with any orange or vermilion. Next, you will need yellow or a yellowish orange. This one is cadmium yellow orange. So these are the four colors you will need for the sky. We'll be applying that onto wet background, and we'll add some clouds onto it. Okay, so that's all about the sky. Now for the rest, you will need some brown. This one is permanent brown. If you don't have brown, go with burn Sina. Then finally, you will also need some paint gray to add in all the deeper tones. Okay, so that summarize the colors you will need for this beautiful sunset sky. Here is the swatches. So you will need some violet, rose or crimson, orange, yellow or yellowish orange, burn sina or brown, and paints gray. Okay, so keep all the colors ready. Now before we start, I'm going to quickly explain the steps involved in the painting process. The very first step is to paint the sky onto a white background, we will introduce some violet, then some rose orange and a yellowish orange. Only at the bottom over here, we need to use a lighter tone. And that's the only area you have to focus on. The rest you just need to drop in your color however you want to. Okay, so that's how the sky is going to be. Next, we have to paint the landscape at the bottom. For this as well, we have to focus on this area where we have the sun. Over here, we will use orange brown, and the rest is just paints gray. Okay, it's a simple, yet an interesting painting. Creating that glowing effect is the major part about this painting, and I'm very sure you guys are going to enjoy it. So let's give it a try. Okay, so let's start with this sketch. You just need to add a line, an irregular line at the bottom to show the landscape. The rest is going to be the sky. So for now, simply add a rough shape like this. Okay, so that's our sketch. Now, over here, we are going to show the sun right over here. So only this area, we'll go with a lighter tone. The rest is going to be very bright and bold colors. That's the only thing you have to keep in mind. Now, before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. We will need violet, some permanent rose, orange, and a bit of yellowish orange. Those are the colors we will need for the sky. Okay, so when you have the colors ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. We only need a shiny coat of water. Don't add too much of water. When there's a lot of water on the background, the colors will start spreading too much, and it would be very difficult to control the way they are spreading. Okay, so my sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the color, I'm going to go with an brush. This one is size number eight. Now, the first color I'm going to go with is violet. I'm picking a really bright tone of violet. Okay. Now I'm going to apply this onto the top. You can see the tonal value. It is quite dark. Go with the similar tone. I will apply some more. It doesn't need to be in a straight line. Simply apply the paint onto the top of your sky. Go with the similar tonal value, so that when it dries up, it will be still bright and bold. Okay, so that is violet. Now, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to go with the second color. Which is permanent rose. If you don't have permanent rose, go with crimson or carmine or any kind of rose color. I'm applying this right next to violet, and I'm going to blend them in a very rough way. See that? So I'm just pushing and pulling the paint into each other, and I'm creating a very rough blend there. It's not in a straight line or it's not a perfect blend. Okay. Now, I'm going to clean my brush, and I will pick some clean rose. Right now, there is some violet on my brush, and I'm applying that again onto the wet background. You can see I'm leaving some gaps in between. Onto those gaps, I will introduce some orange. Okay, so that is violet and rose. I will add some more paint onto the top. All right. Next, let's clean the brush, and we can go with orange. I'm really loving the way it is turning out. Now it's time for the third color, which is brilliant orange. You can go with any orange you have got preferably a brighter orange. Pick enough of paint and introduce that onto the wet background. Okay. So towards the center where we are planning to place a sun, I wouldn't be adding much paint. I'm leaving some gap over there, now cleaning my brush. And I'm going with the last color, which is a yellowish orange, and I'm adding that onto the background. Still, I'm retaining some space over there. Okay, now let's clean the brush again and go with a slightly wet brush and smudge the paint over here. So this is where we are going to place the sun, and that area has to be slightly lighter compared to the other area. Okay, so only over here, you need a lighter tone of yellow. The rest can be brighter. If you want to add some more paint onto the background, you could do that. I'm picking a little more orange, and I'm adding that onto the background. But I'm retaining some lighter tone at the center. See that? So that's the only thing I have to be careful about. The rest can be very bright and bold. You can add more clouds or more details onto the background, but the center has to be lighter. Okay, so that's how the background has turned out. Now, before I call it done, I'm going to add some more clouds using rose with the same brush. I'm picking some rose, and I'm going to add some clouds onto the background over here. I feel like there's a lot of orange in the background. So I'm just adding a few lines at the center. My background is still wet. Okay, so that's our sky. I don't want to overdo and ruin it. So gonna call it done. So only towards the bottom, you have to introduce a lighter tone. The rest can be as bright and bold as you want. No problem. Okay, so this is the area I'm talking about. Go with a lighter tomb towards the bottom, where you're going to place your son. Now, let's leave it for drying. All right, so the rest dried completely. Next, we are going to paint the landscape. Now for the landscape as well, there is one thing you have to be careful about, which is this place. Over here, we are going to add some orange. The rest is going to be more of paint's gray and brown. It is something similar to the technique we have used in this painting. So right where you have your son, you have to go with orange or yellow or any lighter tone. The rest can be all darker tones. So I'm starting with some orange. The same orange I use for the sky. This one is brilliant orange. And I'm going to add some teeny tiny patterns over here. Okay. You can go with vermilion or any other orange you have got, the same one you use for your sky and add some teeny tiny patterns like this to show the leaves. Okay. Okay, so I've added orange. Next with the sin brush, I'm picking some brown, and I'm adding that next to orange. And then gradually we will go with pinks gray. So only over here, we have to introduce orange and brown. The rest can be just pains gray. This is to create that glowing effect. If we go with pains gray right away, you won't be able to create that effect. Okay, so we started off with orange. Then we used some brown. I'm adding some more orange. I'm just pushing that into the brown. Okay. I will add some extra paint over here. Otherwise, by the time we add Pink's gray and all those darker tones, it will be missing. So right now, I'm using a taco tone of brown, and I'm adding that to what's the bottom. Alright, so that is brown and orange. Next, I'm going to pick some pains gray, a really darker tone of pinks gray, and I'm going to add that to what's the bottom. I'm just adding that. Then we can smudge it. Then onto either side as well, we can go with Pink's gray. I will take some more brown, then I will smudge it. Okay. So I'm just adding some dots and some small shapes, and I'm smudging the paint. So once we are done with this part, we can go with the rest because only over here, we have to put a little focus. The rest is just pains gray. Okay. Now I'm going to add more pains gray. I'm going to add some teeny tiny shapes onto the top to show the leaves and all that. Then you can smudge it again if you feel those colors are very rough. I'm picking some more brown with another brush. And I'm just smudging this part. Okay. I think this one is looking kind of okay. Now, we can go the other side. So in a similar way, I'm just going to pick some pinks gray, and I'm going to fill the other side. I have painted the left side, but I still feel this area is not looking perfect. So I'm going to add some more brown, and I'm smudging that one more time before the background dries out. Okay. Because this is the only area where you have to focus on. The rest is just paints gray. I've cleaned my brush, I'm picking some more orange, and I'm smudging this area again to make it look better. If yours is looking perfect, you don't need to do this again. I just felt like it needs a little more fixing. And that's what I'm doing right now. Okay, so that looks fine. Now, I'm going to go back with paints gray, and I will add some more leafy pattern onto the top in a better shape. Earlier, I added them in a rush. So those patterns are not looking very nice, so I'm just adding them one more time. At some places, you can make them higher, and at some places, it can be lower. This will make your painting look more realistic. Similarly, if you want to add some more leafy pattern onto the ends, you could do that, as well. Okay. So in less than 10 minutes, we are actually done with our painting, and you can see the glow we have created here. It looks really stunning. So at this point, actually, we are done with our painting, but just in case if you want to add some more orange or some more details onto your background, you could do that. I'm going to wash my brush, and I'm going with some more orange again. And I'm smudging this part one more time. And also, I will add some more leafy pattern over here. I will only be adding a little. I feel like there isn't enough orange over here. So that's why I'm adding some more leafy pattern. Maybe onto the other side asphll, I will add a little. Not too much, just a few patterns. Okay. This one has kind of dried up, so I cannot smudge it, but only onto the top, I'm adding them. Alright, so that is it. That's our painting for the day. I'm really happy with the glow and the colors we have got here. It is very vibrant and a very beautiful sunset. So that is it. That's all for the day. I hope you all enjoyed painting this quick canasy glowing sunset. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Sometimes you don't need a lot of colors or a big paper or a lot of time to create a soul fulfilling artwork, and this one is an example. I really enjoyed creating this. I hope we all did as well. Anyways, here is our artwork for the day. You can see how gorgeous those colors have turned out, and I'm really loving that glowing effect. It wasn't that difficult to create. You can use the same technique in your future paintings as well. See that? So only at the center, you have to use some orange and brown. The rest is just pinks gray. Okay, so if you're here to try, do give it a try and let me know if you liked it. 30. Day 26 - Cloudy Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 26 of painting quick and easy watercolor skies. Our sky for the day is a beautiful, cloudy sky. We're going to try painting these beautiful clouds, and it is very easy. It's a sky that you can use in your future paintings as well. Let's start by having a look at the colors. For the sky, the color I'm going to use is turquoise blue. You can go with any blue of your choice. It doesn't need to be turquoise blue. You can use Prussian blue or cobal blue or Cerulem blue or any other blue. Then to add these shadows, I'll be using a lighter tone of Pains gray. So those are the two colors you will need for the sky, any blue of your choice and pinks gray. I'm using turquoise blue from white knights. But just like I said earlier, go with any blue of your choice. Any bright blue. Okay, so that's the first color. Now the second one is paints gray. We'll be using that color to add the shadows and also the deeper tones onto the mountain and the meadow. For the cloud, we will use a lighter tone, but for the meadow and the mountain, we will need to use a darker tone. The next color you will need is a light green. This one is cadmium green light. If you don't have a similar green, that's totally fine. You can just add some lemon yellow with sap green and coming to the next, which is sap cream Okay. So that summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. We'll also be using some paints gray for the mountain and the meadow. And here's a closer look of the swatches. You will need a bright, pretty blue for the sky, some pinks grey, a lighter green, and sap green. Okay, now before we start, let me quickly explain the process. Once we have this sketch ready, we will start by painting the sky. I'll be using turquoise blue. And while I'm applying the paint, I will leave some shapes in between, which will eventually turn into clouds. So the major part about this painting is leaving those shapes. It is actually the paper white. I'm not adding any white paint over there. So while you're adding your paint, leave some shapes. Then we will add in these shadows, using a lighter tone of paints gray to give it more three dimensional feel. Okay. So that's the sky. Next, we will go the meadow. We will use a lighter tone, a medium green and a darker green for the meadow. Then finally, we will go with the mountain. Okay, so that is how the painting is going to be. Now let's give it a try. Alright, so as usual, let's start with the sketch. You will need to add a sloping meadow. Just a gentle slope. Okay, now right about this, I'm going to add a mountain. Over here, we can add it towards the right side. Okay, so that is a sketch. All the rest of the details we can add as we're painting. So we need a meadow and a mountain. Now, let's start preparing the colors. So as we discussed, you can go with any blue of your choice for your sky. I'm going to go with turquoise blue, and to add the shadows of the clouds, you will need some paints gray. Okay, so these are the two colors you will need. Once you have them ready on your palette, you can start by applying a at of water onto the entire sky. Please be sure not to add a lot of water. If you add a lot of water, the clouds won't stay in shape. So we just need a shiny coat. That's all. And run your brush multiple times just to be sure the coat of water is even. All right. Next, I'm going to start applying paint onto the background. The brush I'm going to use is size number six, go with any of your medium size brush and start out with a medium tone of blue. In my case, it is turquoise blue. You can go Kobal blue, Prussian blue, cerulean blue, or any blue of your choice. Okay. Now, as you're applying the paint, we need to leave some gaps in between. That is a major thing you have to keep in mind. I'm applying the paint on the top. Now, as I'm coming down, I will leave some shapes in between. Okay. So that's my first cloud. Just leave an irregular shape. See that? You can place your clouds wherever you want to, and you can go with any shape. It doesn't need to be in the exact same way. If you buy around a super wet, the colors will start spreading and you won't be able to control the way they are spreading. So maybe if you're trying out clouds for the first time, you might not get it right in the first try, but that's okay. You can give it one more try once you're familiar with your paper and the water control. Okay, now, I'm going to add another cloud towards the bottom, and then we can start adding the shadow. So it's just a matter of leaving those shapes while you're applying the paint. You'll get a hang of it once you give it a try. Okay. So the only color I have used so far is turquoise blue, and I will have some gaps in between, which are going to turn into clouds. I'm not really happy with this clouds, so I'm just splitting that into two smaller ones. Alright, so that's a background. Now I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm going to introduce the shadows before the background dries. So clean your brush, and go with the lighter tone of paint's gray. Be careful. You have to go a lighter tone, not a medium tone. And if your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Now, only at the bottom side, introduce the shadows. See that? So along the shape of your cloud, introduce a lighter tone of pink gray. I'm adding a little at the bottom, but it looks like it has dried, so I'm just munching it. Okay, so I have added three clouds here, and I have added the shadow asp. Now, I'm going to dap my brush on a paper towel, and I'm going to lift off some paint from the background. Okay, so wherever you feel, the clouds are not having a good shape, you can lift off some paint. This needs to be done while your background is still wet. So we don't have much time in our hands. You need to act promptly and lift off some paint wherever you feel like it. I have cleaned my brush again. Now with a clean brush, I'm just mudging this part asp. See that. So this will give it a better shape. The colors will be a little more smoother and softer. Make sure to go with a dry or a damp brush, not a watery brush and gently smudge it. Don't put a lot of pressure. Go with a light hand. Okay, so that's how the sky has turned out. Now let's leave it for drying. Okay, so that is right completely. Now our next task is to paint the meadow. And for that, you will need three different tones of green. You will need a lighter green, a medium green, and a darker green. For the lighter green, I'm going to go with cadmium green light. Then for the medium green, I will use sap cream. And to introduce the darker tones, I will use some paints gray. You can go with any kind of lighter green. And if you don't have lighter green, you can just add some lemon yellow with sap green. Okay. So I have the colours ready on my palette. Now, I'm starting with this lighter green. I'm using a medium size brush. Now, I'm going to apply this bright lighter green along the top line. So just follow your outline and add in that lighter green. Okay. We can also add some lines towards the bottom. Then gradually we can introduce some sap cream onto the same background. I'll apply some more green. Then I will go with sap cream. Okay, next, I'm going to pick some sap cream, and let's add that onto the remaining area. Then towards the bottommost area, we have to add some more tarkotnes. I'm adding sap cream from the bottom towards the top, and I'm adding some lines as well along with that. Okay. We are trying to show that slope in our painting, and that's why we're adding these lines in an inclined way. So just keep dragging your brush from the top towards the bottom, or from the bottom towards the top and smudge the paint. I'll add some more green. Then I will go with a darker tone. So only along the top, we want that lighter green. Towards the bottom, we want to introduce more of medium and darker tones. Alright, so that is lighter green and medium green. I will add a few more lines onto the top while the background is still wet. Then I will go with a darker green, which is going to be a mix of sap cream and pink grey. Okay, so I'm picking some pink gray with the same brush, and I will mix that with sap cream. To create a Darko tone, and I will add that along the bottom. See that? So we have three different tonal values of green here. This dako tone is really important to give it a better look. Otherwise, it will look quite incomplete. So only at the bottom, introduce these lines using a Dako tone. And then with a clean brush, you can smudge it. So clean your brush, dab it on a paper towel, make it dry or damp. Now smudge it very gently to give it a better look. Okay, so you can see the way how I'm running my brush. I'm running them back and forth in an inclined way to replicate that slope. I think the colors are looking quite good. Now we can leave it for trying. Now, the next step is to paint the mountains. That's the only step left. I'm going to start with some sap green. I will pick some sap green on my medium sized brush, and I'm going to apply that onto the entire mountain. Then gradually I will introduce some darker tones. So follow that outline and introduce a medium tone of sap green onto the Entire mountain. This color is looking pretty dark. So pegging some water, and I'm going to make it lighter. Okay, so this looks fine. Now I'm gonna fill it up. Early, the green was quite dark. I'm carefully applying that paint along the outline. So right now we have a medium tone of green on the entire mountain. Now we're going to introduce the darker tones once we have the base layer ready, you can make it more bigger or you can modify the shape right now. Okay, so we have the base layer ready. I will just fix this line as well. Alright. So we have a medium tone of green on the entire mountain. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray. I'm going to add that onto the mountain from here towards the bottom. On this side, I'm just introducing some darker tones and over here as per. The idea is to introduce some shadows and some deeper tones onto the mountain to bring in more texture. It cannot be just a single layer. So introduce some darker tones here and there in a very random way. This will give it more realistic look and also a three dimensional feel. You can see the instant difference it made. Now, I'm going to tap my brush on a paper towel and I'm going to add some more dry patterns onto the mountain. It doesn't need to be clean and perfect. You can simply add that patterns onto the background. See that? Wherever you feel like you need to add some Daco tunes, you can add that in. And that is it. That's our mountain. So it's just a matter of adding those deeper tunes onto the bass layer. And this how it has turned out. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. So this one was a really quick, cloudy sky. If your paper is bigger, you can add more clouds. You just need to leave out those shapes and then add the shadows to give it more three dimensional feel. Here is a closer look of the painting we have done, and you can see those fluffy white clouds. You can go with any shape and you can place them wherever you want to. Okay, so that's all for the day. I hope you all loved this cloudy sky. Thank you so much for joining, and I'll be back here soon with our next beautiful sky. Oh. 31. Day 27 - Seaside Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 27 of painting quick and easy Watercolor skies. And our sky for the day is a really gorgeous one. I cannot tell you how much I love this color combination. There is no reference image. I just tried it out and it came out really well. And here we are. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors. To paint the sky, we will need full colors. You can obviously change them according to what you have with you. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. So the first color you will need is Prussian blue, then some rose, then opera pink and orange. I'm hoping all of you have Prussian blue. Or you can also go with any other blue of your choice. So the very first color you will need is fresh in blue. This one is from art philosophy. Now the second color is permanent rose. It's a very bright and bold rose. You can also use crimson instead. Now the third one is opera pink. It's more like a neon pink. I'm not really sure how many of you have this. So if you don't have it, go with any other brighter pink. Even a piece we think will work. And finally, you will need one more color for the sky, which is orange. This one is brilliant orange. You can use any kind of orange or vermilin. So those are the four colors you will need for the sky. To add the clouds, we'll go with a mix of rose and prussian blue. Okay, now coming to the next color, it is burned Sina. To paint the ground, we'll be using burned ina and a mix of prussian blue. Usually, I go with a mix of burned ina and pink gray. But today, as I have some prussian blue on my palette, I thought of mixing them together. It will give me almost a similar color. We just need a darker tone. So you can mix your burn ina with prussian blue, paints gray, or even intico. All of them will give us a darker tone, and that's all we need. Okay, so that's rice, all the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need Prussian blue or any other blue of your choice. Then permanent rose or crimson or Para pink, orange, and burn senna. Okay, so keep all the colors ready. Now, as we do for every painting, let's start by having a look at the various steps involved. We will start with the sky, which is quite obvious onto a wet background. We will add some Prussian blue first. That's a color you see on the top. Then we will go with some permanent rose, then opera pink. Then also some orange in between. And then onto that layer, we will introduce some clouds. Okay. So that's how the sky is going to be. Next, we will go with the sea. And for this as well, we will go with purple and blue. We will add some textures onto that layer, and then we will paint the sand and also this mountain far away. And that is it. It's quite simple. It isn't anything complicated. We have already tried similar compositions. It is just that the colors are different today. That's all. Okay. So that is it. Now let's give it a try. Let's start with a pencil sketch. I'm going to add the horizon line first, which I'm placing a little below the center of the paper. Next, we need to add an irregular line to separate the sea and the sand. Okay, so that's our sketch. You just need to add a rough line for now. We can modify that as we're painting. So the sketch is ready. Now, you have to make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. We need some Prussian blue, rose, orange, and a bit of opera pink. Okay. Choose to go with the colors you have with you. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. So yeah, once you have the colors ready, we can apply a coat of water onto the sky. I'm applying a nice gentle coat of water, and I'm making my sky evenly wet. Don't add a lot of water. We only need a gentle coat. If there's a lot of water, run your brush multiple times until the coat of water is even. Okay. So my sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. For that, I'm using my size number Ant. First, I'm making sure it is clean. Now, the first color I'm going to go with is brush and blue. I'm using a Dako tomb and I'm applying that on the top of the sky. This one is from art philosophy. It's a gorgeous blue. You can see the pigmentation, now I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going with a second color, which is permanent rose. As I mentioned earlier, go with crimson or carmine if you don't have rose. Now blend them together. I will wash my brush again and I will pick some clean rose, and I will add that towards the bottom. Okay. Next I'm going with opera pink, and I'm adding that next to rose. So this one is more like a neon pink. Apply that over here and also along the horizon line. Okay. If you don't have opera pink, continue with the same rose. Now I'm adding that along the horizon line, leaving some gap in between. Now onto that gap in between, I will introduce some orange. That's a plan. Okay. Before that, I will apply some more opera pink. It is not bright enough. Okay. Next, I'm going to wash my brush, and I will go with orange. Go with any orange you have got. The one I'm going to use is brilliant orange. It's a bright orange. I have used this color in my previous paintings as well. You can also use a yellow or a yellowish orange instead of orange. Okay. Now, in between, I'm applying orange and roughly spreading that into the background. It doesn't need to be a clean, proper blend. Just introduce those colors onto the background and let it blend on its own way. Okay, so that's a background. Now, I'm gonna keep this brush aside, and I will go with a smaller brush. And I'm going to introduce the clouds onto the background. To add the clouds, I'm going to go with the purple tone. So I already have some prussian blue here. Into that, I'm adding some more rose, and I'm creating a bright and bold purple. Now, if your paint is watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start adding the clouds. Your purple might look a little different if you're using different colors, but that's totally fine. Go with any kind of color of your choice. Okay, now add in your clouds onto that wet background. If you don't want to add the clouds, that is totally fine, I think the sky's looking already quite beautiful. So if you want to skip adding the cloud, that's totally fine. Okay. I'm going to add some clouds where I have opera pink and permanent rose. I won't be adding any towards the bottom. I'm going to leave the bottom part as it is. Okay. So I'm just adding some smaller clouds onto the background using that purple color I have created. I'm just randomly adding the clouds wherever I feel like. There is no particular order or rule here. You can add them however you like. It can be bigger clouds or smaller clouds, but just be careful about the water content. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, the clouds will spread a lot and they won't stay in shape. Okay. I think the bottom area is looking good enough. I'm going to add some more onto the top. So into the same mix, I'm adding more Prussian blue to make the color more darker. And I'm adding some more clouds where I have this rose and Prussian blue meeting. This one is completely optional. Only if you want to make your sky more dramatic, you can add these clouds. Okay. So whenever you're painting a cloudy sky, never ever completely follow your instructor. Everything totally depends upon the water control and the wetness of your paper. If you feel like your background is drying out, that would be a good point to stop, and sometimes less is more. You don't need to add more clouds just because I'm adding it. Okay, so that's how the sky has turned out. I'm quite happy with the colors and the clouds. Now let's leave it for trying. Okay, so the sky has dried completely, and the colors are still looking quite beautiful. Next, we are going to paint the sea. To paint the sea, first, I'm going to use the same purple I created earlier. Maybe can be a little more pinkish. Okay. Now that's a color I'm going to use for the base. I will apply this color onto the entire layer. Okay, so this one is a mix of Prussian blue and rose, only a little prussian blue and more rose. I'm adding that onto the background as a base layer. Towards the bottom, we can make it a little lighter compared to the top. So I have picked a little water, and I'm making it lighter. Okay, so that's our base layer. Now onto this, I'm going to add some lines and some textures using a Daco tone. And for that, I'm picking some purple. So this time, I have added more prussian blue into the mix. You can see the color. It's quite dark. Now I'm randomly adding some lines onto the background. I think I have added too much. The rose is not much visible, so don't add this much. We want some rose in the background. Okay. So start with the base layer, which can be rose or purple and towards the bottom, make it lighter. Then onto that, introduce some textures using a Darko tone. Now I will add a few more lines, especially along the horizon line. First, I have to make this straight. Then I will add some more lines. And then we can leave it for drying. At the end, when everything has dried completely, we will add one more set of lines to bring in more texture. So this one is just a base layer. When it dries, it won't be that prominent. Now I'm picking a little more rose, and I'm going to add that into the background. I think at some places the blue is quite prominent, especially over here. Alright, so that is it. Now, let's leave it for drying. So we have painted the sky and the scene, and next we're going to paint the sand. And for that, like usual, I'm going to go with a mix of burn ina and pains gray. That's a color I usually like. For some reason, I don't like to use brown for the sand. I feel burned ina is more earthy. I guess I will just mix that with this prussian blue I have here. I'm not picking any pains gray. It will still give me a similar tonal value. If you have pinks gray, you can just mix sad with pinks gray. But even indigo or prussian blue will work. We just need a darker tone of brown. Okay, now, I'm going to apply that along the shoreline. So I'm giving a nice shape here. Then towards the bottom, I will add more burn senna, and I will make the color lighter. Okay, so just make some burn ina with pink gray or indigo or Persian blue and turn that into a darker tone, something similar to this. Now towards the bottom, I'm going to add more burn ina into the mix. Now let's fill up the rest. So on the top, along the shoreline, we have a darker tone, and towards the bottom, we have made it lighter. I'm introducing more burn ina towards the bottom, but the colors are still quite dark. It's not a lighter tone. Okay. Now I'm going to pick that darker tone again. It's a mix of prussian blue and burn senna. Now I'm dropping in some taco tones onto the background, especially closer to the wave. The bottom part, I'm leaving it as it is. Now I'm also giving it a better shape. If you want to fix the shape of your wave, this is the time. Do that before the background dries up. Okay. So that is my shoreline. We have the sky, the sea, and the sand ready, but we haven't added more details on the sea. It still looks quite incomplete. So that is our next task. Maybe we can also add a mountain far away using the same color. I have a Daco tone here. So using the same color, I'm adding a mountain along the horizon line. A low lying mountain, it's not huge. Go a similar size. If it's too huge, your painting will go out of proportion. So be very mindful about the size. Okay. So the color I have used here is a mix of Prussian blue and burn sina. And that is it. Next, the only task left is to add the textures onto the sea. And for that, I'm going back with the purple tomb. I'm mixing some prussian blue and rose together. Okay. Now using this color, I'm going to add some more waves and lines onto the background. We're just trying to introduce some texture here, so we can simply add some lines onto the background. They can be wavy lines, shorter lines, or longer lines. It doesn't matter. If your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel and also go with a smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. Now simply add some lines onto the background, using that taco tone. Go with some thin lines. Only in between, some of the lines can be thicker to represent the waves. The rest has to be thinner. Okay, so just keep on adding similar lines onto the background. You can add them until you're happy with the result. Take a look at your painting. If you feel you have got enough textures there, you can stop it at any point. I have made the color a little lighter, and I'm going to continue adding the lines towards the bottom. After I'm done adding these lines, I will go back with a Dako tone, and I will add some more. Okay. So right now, the color I'm using is a medium tone. It's not a darker one. Now I'm switching back to the Dako tone, and I'm going to add some waves in between. Okay. So it's just a matter of adding some lines onto the background to bring in some texture. If we don't add those lines, our C will look quite empty. It won't have that natural texture. So these lines are very important. And don't add too much. And also, you can use different colors. It can be purple or it can be a rose color or even a darker tone. So keep changing those colors according to your background values. If it's a darker one, if you have a medium tone in the background, you will have to go with the darker tone when you're adding these lines. And if it's a lighter tone, you just need to go with the medium tone. So those things will totally depend on your background colors. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. I'm quite happy with the colors and the interior look and feel of this painting. Now, there is some leftover paint on my brush. So what I'm going to do is I will dab it on a paper towel. And that dry paint, I'm going to add some more textures on the ground. Just a few random dry textures, which is completely optional. I had some leftover paint. I thought of making use of it. Okay, so that is it. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. It's a really beautiful color combination. The colors are very vibrant and bold. I hope you all liked it. My favorite part is this, where we have the lighter tone along the bottom. It's a gorgeous colour combination, so give it a try if you had to try it, and let me know if you liked it. 32. Day 28 - Countryside Road: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 28 of painting Quick Easy Watercolor skies. And here is a gorgeous sunset for the day. It's a really easy one, and I'm sure you guys are going to love it. Anyway, as usual, let's start by having a look at the colors. For the sky, you will need four colors. The first color you will need is naples yellow. Naples yellow is a pistil yellow. If you don't have naples yellow, you can go with any other yellow of your choice. Then you will need some orange, red, and also some brown for the sky. I will start with naples yellow. It's a lovely colour to use for your sky, especially when you don't want the yellow to be too bright. Okay. So that's a color I'll be using for the root marking as well. Now the second color you will need is orange. It can be any orange. The one I'm going to use is brilliant orange. It's a bright orange. Now the third one is red and brown. I'll be using a mix of red and brown for the top of the sky to create a darker red. Okay, so that is red, Pyl ride. Now the last one you will need is brown. Okay, so those are the four colors you will need for the sky. Now, along with that, you will need two more colors for the grassy land and for the mountain. Oh, which is sap green and pinks gray. I'll be using Pains gray for the road as well. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for Tory's painting. Like I said earlier, for the road marking, you will need some naples yellow or pastel yellow and also a bit of white. These are the swatches. You will need naples yellow, orange, red, brown, sap green, and pink green. Okay, now before we start, let's have a look at the steps involved. And then we can get straight into action. The first step is to paint the sky. We will start with naples yellow, and then some orange at the center. Then towards the top, we will introduce some red and brown. Then onto that, we layer, we will be adding some lines in a very random way. Towards the bottom, we will use orange to add the lines, and to the top, we will use a Darko tone of red. Okay, so that's how the sky is going to be. Next, we will paint the road using paints gray. After the road, we will cover these grassy land and also the mountain far away. And finally, we will add the road marking. And that is it. It's a simple painting. Now let's give it a try. Let's start with the sketch. We need to add a curvy road first. Narrow at the far end and wider at the bottom. Okay, so add a nice curvy road like this. Then add the horizon line. And right about that, add a new mountain. It's not a huge mountain. I'm going with a small size. Okay, so that's the sketch. Now we can start painting. It's a simple sketch, so add in that first. And next, you have to make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. We need some naples yellow, then some orange, red, and also a little of brown. So those are the colors we'll be using for the sky. If you don't have naples yellow, you can go with any other yellow of your choice. Okay, so once you have the colors ready on your palette, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. We only need a gentle coat. Don't add a lot. I know I keep saying this all the time, because the water content on your paper, it is really important. If there is a lot of water on your paper, the colors will float around. Okay, so my sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with a medium sized ran brush. I will use size number six brush, go with any of your medium sized ran brush. First, make sure it is clean, and the color we're going to start with is naples yellow. This one is a pasil yellow. If you want to go for a pastel yellow, you can just add some white watercolor with any of the yellow you have caught. And you can go the pastel yellow, or you can use any other brighter yellow you have caught. Okay. Next time picking some orange. I don't want the orange to be too bright, so I'm adding that with naples yellow. So this one is more like a pastel orange, and I'm going to add that onto the wet background. See that? It doesn't need to be a clean, perfect blent. Just add in the paint, however you can. Now I'm picking a brighter orange. Next time going with some red, and I will add that right after orange. And then finally toward the top, I'm going to go with a mix of brown and red to make the color a bit more darker. I'm picking some brown, mixing that with red, and I'm applying that onto the leftover area. See that? So we have some yellow at the bottom, then a lighter orange, a medium orange, red, and a darker red. That's a base layer. But I'm not quite happy with the intensity of the orange. So I'm going to pick a little more, and I'm going to add that onto the background again. Over here. Okay, now the color is much more vibrant. Towards the bottom, I want to retain that lighter orange and also naples yellow. Now I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel. And the same color, I'm going to add some lines onto the background, especially where I have yellow. I have added a few lines. Now I'm cleaning my brush. And I'm dabbing it on a paper towel again, and with a dry brush, I'm smudging it to give it a softer look. Otherwise, it will start spreading. Okay. Next, we're going to add some more lines onto the top of the sky. And for that, I'm going back with a mix of red and brown. We need a darker tone. So mix up in red and brown together and create a darker tone. If you have a similar color with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create this color. Now let's add some lines onto the sky using this dako red. I'm simply adding some lines onto the wet background. They don't have any particular length or thickness or anything. I'm randomly adding them. See that? So while your background is still wet, you have to add these lines. Otherwise, they won't look soft. So go ahead and add in some lines wherever you feel like. Sometimes more than adding clouds, I like to add these kind of lines. It is so much easier than adding those rounded clouds, and it always turns out to be better. You can try the same with any other color combination of your choice. Okay, so that's how this car has turned out. Now, let's leave it for drying. The sky is looking so lovely. Next, we are going to paint the road, and for that, the only color you will need is pins gray. I'm going to start with a medium tone. Then towards the bottom, I will add some taco tones. Okay, so simply go with a medium tone of pinks gray and apply that onto the entire road. The color I'm using right now is a medium tone. Maybe towards the horizon line, you can make it a bit more lighter. I'm picking some water, and I'm making this part lighter compared to the bottom. Okay. Now carefully apply that color along the outline. We have a nice curvy road. Don't let go of the shape. Paints gray has a granulating property, and for the same reason, it's a good color to paint roads. It will automatically add in some textures onto the background. Okay. So that's how the background has turned out. Now, I'm going to pick slightly darker tone of pinks gray, and I will drop in that onto the background, especially onto the bottom. So with the same brush, I'm going to pick more pinks gray, and I'm adding that only at the bottom. So along the horizon line, we have a medium tone, and towards the bottom, I have turned it darker, and that's it. Now we can leave it for drying. And after that, we can pin the rest of the details. All right, so that is dry tube. Now the next task is to paint the grassy land and also the mountain. We'll first go with the grassy land on either side. And for that, the colors you will need is sap cream and pink gray. I'm starting off with sap cream and picking a medium tone. And I'm going to apply that onto either side first. Then to introduce the deeper tones, I will go with pink gray. I have added sap cream onto the terire area. Next, I'm going to keep this precious eye, and I will go the smaller one, and I'm picking some paints gray. Now we can introduce the darker tones. I'm adding this only along the bottom, and towards the top, I'm going to retain sap grain acets. So go with Pains gray and apply that along the bottom part of the grassy land over here. So this will introduce more shadows and textures onto your ground and will make it look more realistic. Okay, so onto either side, introduce the deeper tones towards the bottom. I'm not planning to add any other grassy lines or any other details onto this. Maybe we can add a few lines onto the background to give it more texture. Okay, only onto the bigger part. The other one is too tiny to add the lines. So only on the left side, I'm adding some lines as well. We are painting an evening scene, so the colors has to be slightly darker. That's why I'm using a medium tone of green here. I haven't made it lighter. And then towards the bottom, I'm adding more darker tones. Maybe we can add a few more on the other side, only along the bottom line, and then we can call it done. Now we have one more task left, which is painting the mountain. Okay, I'm not going to wait for this to dry. I'm going with the mountain right away. So first, I will go with some pinks gray, and I will add that along the bottom. Then towards the top, I will introduce a darker green, which is, again, a mix of pink gray and some sap green. Okay. And that is our final task. So along the bottom, introduce a darker tone of pins gray. You can just add a simple line then along with that, drop in some taco tones onto the mountain asphalt in a very random way, we can add a bit here, then over here and a little here as well. Okay. Now I'm going to clean my brush and I'm picking some sap cream. And for the rest, I'm going to introduce sap cream. So we already have some darker tones on the background. And when you introduce sap cream, all the colors will smudge into each other and we'll create a natural texture. And that's all we need. We don't need to add any extra details. You can already see how beautiful it is looking. So we simply added some pinks grey onto the background first, and then we finished off the shape using some sap cream and that's it. That's our painting for the day. If you want to modify the shape of your mountain, you could do that. Go with a darker green and add just the shape of your mountain. So for me, I have made it higher on the left side and have made it shorter towards the right. You can make it a bit more bigger if you prefer that. Otherwise, keep it this way. Okay, so at this point, if you want to stop your painting, you could do that. Or you can add some road markings to give it more complete look. So that's what I'm going to do next. I already have some naples yellow on my palette. Using that, I'm going to add a road marking. Okay. This one is a pastel yellow, so it is kind of opaque. If you don't have a pastel yellow, just add some white watercolor with any of the yellow you have cut. And then using that color, you can add in the road marking. So using naples yellow, I'm going to add two curvy lines at the center. Over here, you don't need to show that entirely. Just go a very thin and delicate line. Then towards the bottom, you can make it more thicker. The brush I'm using here is size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush to get it perfectly. Otherwise, they will end up looking thick and your painting will go out of proportion. See that? I have been using this brush for a while now, and it's so wonderful. You can see the kind of precision I'm getting here. It is size number two from silver brush. Okay, so that's the first line. Now, right next to that, I'm going to add one more line using yellow. I have added two lines, and you can see the difference they made. I will just make it a bit more thicker at the bottom. So I'm showing it properly only at the bottom. As you can see, along the turn, I have just dropped the line. I haven't continued that. Now I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going with some white. I have some leftover paint on my palette. Now with that, I'm going to add another line on either side, closer to the grassy land. I'm using the same brush. This one is size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush or a detailing brush. Now, add a thin line on either side, following the same curve. You don't need to show the line along the curve. So just add that on either side. It has to be very thin and delicate. Okay, so those are the root markings, and they really made a difference to our painting. Earlier, it wasn't looking that complete. Now with these root markings, it has a finished look. I'll just extend the line here. Okay, so that is it. That's our painting for the day. I'm very happy with it. If you want to add some birds onto the sky or an electric line, you could do that. I'm going to call it done, and I'm going to peel up the masking tape. And here is a beautiful sky for the day. It was a really simple one. I hope you all liked it. Give it a try if I to try it. Maybe you can make the colours more intense to add some more drama to your painting. So yeah, that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next gorgeous sky. 33. Day 29 - Evening by the Lakeside: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 29 of Painting Quick ending Supertica Skies. And here's our painting for the day. It's a gorgeous evening by a lake side. Now, we'll start by having a look at the colours we will need. For this one, I haven't used any reference image. I just tried it out from my imagination. Now, the first color you will need is a purple, which is the one I'll be using for the sky, as well as for the water. Have mixed and created that color. It is actually a mix of violet and rose. So I'm going to pick some violet first. Now into this, I'm adding some permanent rose. If you have a similar color with you, you can use it directly. This one is a very bright purple. So that's a color I'll be using for the sky, as well as for the lake. I will swatch it out. It's a beautiful color, more like a grape wine. Now, the second color you will need is any pink. The one I'm going to use is brilliant pink from Shinhan. I have been using this color for other paintings as well. So I'm guessing you guys are familiar with this color. That's the second color I'll be using for the sky. Now, along with this, you will also need some pastel orange towards the center. It's a light pastel orange. So those are the three colors I will be using for the sky. Now, along with this for the rest of the details, you will also need some pink gray for the grassy lines at the bottom, as well as for the silout at the background. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need a purple, a pink, a pastel orange, and some pinks gray. Okay, so keep all the colors ready on your palette. Now before we start, let's have a quick look at the steps involved. As usual, we will start with the sky. For this one, I will go from bottom towards the top. Towards a bottom, I will use pink first. Over here, then I will go with pastel orange, then some rose again, and then purple. And then onto that layer, we will be adding some clouds using purple. So that's how the sky is going to be. Then we will go with the lake. We will use purple and pink for the base layer. Then using a Daco tun, we will add some lines and textures onto that layer. And finally, we will go with the silo and also the grassy pattern. Okay. So that's how the painting is going to be. It's a gorgeous color combination and it's an easy one. If you want to add more clouds, you could do that. So keep that in mind as you're painting. I'll be just adding a few. Okay, now let's give it a try. Let's begin with the sketch. All you have to add is just a horizon line. So add a straight line a little below the center of your paper, and that's it. Now let's prepare the colors. So for the sky, you will need three colors. We already had a look at them. We will need some pink, violet and rose. We'll be mixing these two together. Then along with that, you will also need some pistil orange. So these are the colors you will need for the sky. Keep them ready on your palette before you start. Once you have them ready as usual, apply a clean coat of water onto the entire sky. Don't add a lot. We only need a shiny coat of water. And before you apply water, make sure your brush is clean. Okay, so my sky is evenly wet. Now, to apply the paint, you can either go with a flat brrush or a round tush. I'm going to use a flat brush today. This one is half inch flat brush, and I'm making sure it is clean first. Then I'm picking some pink. Now, I'm going to apply this color along the horizon line. If you don't have pastel pink, you can just add some white watercolor with carmine or crimson or even red, and it can easily create a similar color. So don't worry if you don't have a patel pink. So that is brilliant pink. Next, we can go with our second color, which is a pastel orange. You don't need to clean your brush, pick it up directly. Now I'm going to apply this color right next to pink, and I will blend them. So at the bottom, we have a pastel pink, then we have some pastel orange. Now, I'm again going to go back with pink, and I will apply that next. Now we have some more space on the top, and I'm going to clean my brush before I go the next color. Now, the final color we will need is a mix of violet and rose. We need a bright rosy purple. So mix up some rose and violet together and create a similar color. If you don't have rose, go with crimson, you can just mix that with violet. Okay, so that's the color I'm going with. Now I'm applying that onto the remaining area. Then I will blend that with pink. The color can be a bit different, that's totally fine. It will all depend on the colors you're mixing together, so don't worry about it at all. It might be a bit different, and that's totally fine. It is not going to affect your painting. Now I'm going to blend that with pink. What looks like my drch is quite dirty. I'm cleaning that damming it on a paper towel. Then I'm going back with pink, and I'm trying to blend that again. Okay. So that's our bist layer. I'm very much happy with the colors and the blend. It looks quite good enough already. But I want to add some clouds onto this background. So I'm going to go with a smaller brush, a smaller round brush, and the color I'm going to go with is the same purple I created earlier. It's a mix of violet and permanent rose. If you paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you add these lines onto your background. I'm adding few lines along the bottom. I'm adding them only over here. The rest, I'm just leaving it as it is. I want that blend of colors. I don't want to make it too dramatic. Okay. I will pick some rose acetus and I will add a few lines using rose asphalt. Just to give it more interesting look. I want to bring in some more colors here. So first, I added a line using purple. Now I'm using rose. Okay. If you want to add some more lines, you could do that. Whether using purple or rose, it's totally your choice. But don't add a lot and go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too bold and prominent. If you want to add few more lines onto the top, you could do that. I'm actually quite impressed with the way it is looking, so I don't want to add any more lines. Let it be a soft, simple sky, but I will just blend this part. And also, there is some paint missing on the top. I will smudge that as well. Over here and also on the left side. And that's it. So that's how my sky has turned out. I'm really happy with the colors and the clouds. Now let's leave it for drying. The colors are looking so good. I'm really happy with it. Next, we can paint the lake. And for that as well, I'm going to go with similar colors. First, I think I will go with purple. The same purple we use for the top of the sky. We'll start with that color. Then towards the bottom, we will add some pink, and we'll go for a blend of those two colors first. And then gradually we can introduce some textures. So mix up some violet and rose together, or just go with any color you were using before and apply that color along the horizon. That's a color I'm going with. I'm applying that along the horizon line. We need a straight horizon line here. So be careful when you're applying the pink. And the brush I'm using here is size number eight. Go with any of your medium size brush. Okay. I will add in some more. Then I will switch to pink. I cannot tell you how much I allow the sky. Looking at it, I'm really proud. Anyway, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going back with pink, and onto the leftover area, I'm going to add this color, and I will roughly blend that with purple. Okay, so this is just the base layer. We'll have to introduce more taco tunes and more textures onto it. While it is still wet, then at the end, when everything has dried up completely, we will add another set of lines. Okay. So the base layer is ready. I will just much the colors again. Looks like there is a lot of pink, maybe better if I use a smaller brush. Okay. So this one is size number six. Now I'm adding some lines using a darker tone onto that wet background. My background is quite watery, especially over here. Anyway, I'm just pushing and pulling the color into each other to bring in some textures. Okay. So just like I said earlier, the colors can be a bit different. Don't worry about it, or it can even be a totally different color palette. Okay, so that is a base layer. It looks quite decent now. Earlier, it wasn't. Now I'm going to pick up more darker tone, and I'm going to add some more lines onto the background. The ones I added earlier is not visible at all. So let's add in a few more. And then we can leave it for trying. Okay. So on the top, we already have a darker tone. You can introduce these lines towards the bottom, where you have pink. But don't cover it up entirely. We need to see those background colors as well to give it a more realistic feel. So be very mindful when you're adding the lines and also make sure your paint is not too watery. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you add in these lines. Otherwise, they will spread a lot and everything will turn into purple. Okay, so that is it. Now, let's leave it for drying. The base layer has dried up. Now we're going to add some more textures onto this, and after that, we can go the final details. So I'm going to go back with the same color, mix of violet and rose. I'm using a medium tone. And what I'm going to do is I'll simply add some lines onto the background. They can be of any length, but make sure they're not too thick and too dark. You can go the similar tonal value. Now simply keep on adding some lines onto the background to bring in some water like textures. Okay. When you're adding them, leave some cap in between. Don't add a lot of them close to each other. Now keep on adding these lines until you hit the bottom. The brush I'm using here is size number six. It has got a nice pointed tip. Try to go a similar brush. It can be a smaller brush or any brush with a pointed tip. See that? The lines can be long or short. It doesn't matter, but please use a medium tone. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. We have added some lines onto the background, and it has got some nice texture. If you want to add some more using a taco tone, you can do that. Earlier, we used a medium tone. Now the color I'm using is a bit more darker than earlier, and I'm adding few lines in between to bring in more realistic character. See that? Only a few. Majority of the lines are using a medium tone. I'm adding only a few using a taco tone. Okay, so that's done, too. Now we have only task left, which is to add this out. We will add some landscape far away, and we'll also add some details at the bottom. And for those two tasks, I'm using a darker tone of pink gray. First, I will add a rough sheath along the horizon line. Towards the right side, you can choose to go with any side, or you can add them along the enterire horizon line. I'm adding that only over here. The color is more like black because it's a darker tone of pink gray. So first, I will add a very rough shape there. Then we can add some teeny tiny patterns onto the top to give it more character. Right now, it's a very rough shape. Okay, so that's the shape I have gone in with. Now on the top, I'm adding some teeny tiny patterns using the tip of my brush to make it look like it's a landscape. It could be some trees and some plants. So using the tip of your brush, add in some teeny, tiny patterns, and finish up that entire line. So this one is super far. You don't need to put a lot of effort here. Just add some tiny dots and some tiny patterns. Add them close to each other so that it will look like a landscape. So we're done with this, we need to add some grassy lines at the bottom as well. That is the last task. It is actually the slout which brings in a contrast and create a complete look to our painting. Otherwise, it will look quite plain and empty. So this aloud is really important. It can be any salot. It doesn't need to be the same detail. Anyway, next, I'm going to add some grassy line at the bottom, using the same brush. These are just some free hand lines. You can add them in any direction, and they can be of any length as well. And also, you can add as many as you want. You can fill up the entire bottom line. I'm going to add them only onto the right side because this side is more convenient for me. Please make sure to go the smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip for this step. Otherwise, the lines will be very thick. Okay. It will look more beautiful if the lines are thin and delicate, so that's something you have to be careful about. Now, I'm going to quickly add some more lines onto the right side. I think I've added enough. Now, I'm going to fill up these gaps in between, especially at the bottom. There is a lot of gap, so I'm just covering them up by adding more lines. On the top, they have to look like individual lines, but at the bottom, to give it more tense and thicker look, we can fill up those extra gaps, and that is exactly what I'm doing right now. And maybe along with that, you can introduce few more lines, only if you feel like, maybe I will add a few more. And with that, I will call it done. Otherwise, I might go overboard. I always have the habit of overdoing things, which I don't want to do with this painting because I'm really happy with the weight is progressing. So I'm just adding some extra lines, some longer one, and maybe a few more on to the left. So at any point, if you're happy with your painting, you can call it done. You don't need to add more lines just because I'm doing it. As I said earlo, I have the habit of overdoing things. For me to get that sense of satisfaction, it is quite difficult. So to make myself feel better, I will add some more lines to the left side. It's the same kind of lines. They are just some free hand lines. Some of them are short, some of them are long. Some of them are more curvy. Okay, I think that's good enough. I should call it done before I ruin it. If you want to add some birds onto the sky, I think even that will be a good addition. Anyway, that's all for the day. I'm gonna call it done, and I'm going to peel off the masking tape. And here is a lovely sunset by the lake. The colors are really pretty, especially that cloud in the sky. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back you soon with the final sky of the series. 34. Day 30 - Shimmery Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to the final day of painting beautiful watercour skies. And here is the painting that we are ending this session with. It's a gorgeous teamery evening. I've tried a similar one using gouache, and I thought of trying the same with watercolor. Let's start by having a look at the colours you will need for this gorgeous painting. So on the top of the sky, I have used some pink. Then there is some permanent rose over here. Then at the center, there is a bit of orange and towards the bottom, I have used purple. The pink is the same old brilliant pink. It is one of my favorite color. I love to use this color for sunset skies, and I think you guys have seen it already. So that's the first color you will need for the sky. Now the second one is permanent rose. If you don't have permanent rose, go with crimson or carmine or any bright rose color. Now, the third one you will need is violet. I'll be mixing some violet with rose to create a purple. And finally, you will need some orange. Okay, so those are the four colors you will need for the sky. You will need some pink, a bright rose, violet, and some orange. The next color you will need some yellow. We'll be using this for the water over here at the center. And along with that, you will also use some orange, purple and rose. Okay. Now, there are two colors you will need, which is brown and pinks grey, which will be the colors we'll be using for the rocks. This one is permanent brown from art philosophy. It's another favorite of mine. And finally, you will need some pinks gray to add all the deeper tunes and details. Okay, so that summarized the colors you will need for this gorgeous evening. It's a really beautiful one, and I'm so excited that we're going to end this session with this gorgeous painting. So here's a closer look of all the colors you will need. Pink, permanent rose, violet, orange. In yellow. This one is cadmium yellow, then some brown or burned ina and pink grey. Now it's time to take a look at the various steps involved. As usual, we will start with the sky. We will go with pink, then permanent rose, then some orange at the center, and purple towards the bottom. Okay. So that is just going to be a simple blend of these colors. We will also add a sun at the center when the background has dried up. And after that, we will go with the water. We will start at the center. We'll add some yellow and orange over here. Then onto either side, we will add some purple, and onto that layer, we will add some lines to introduce some texture and the water moment. And finally, we will add these rocks. For the ones at the center, which are closer to the sun, we will introduce some brown and some orange tones. And for the rest, we will just use paints gray. Okay, so that's how it is going to be. It's a very interesting painting. Now let's give it a try. Let's start with the sketch. We need to add a horizon line and also some rocks at the bottom. So I'm placing my horizon line a little below the center of the paper. Okay. So we have the horizon line in place. Next, I'm going to add some rocks at the bottom. It can be of any shape and any size. You can add them wherever you want to. You don't need to follow the exact same shape or location. You can add them in different shapes and sizes. Some of them can be close to each other, and some of them can be far away. I will add one more here. Maybe another one over here. Okay, so that's it. I have added enough of rocks. Maybe another one there. Okay, the sketch is ready. We already spoke about the colors, so make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette before you start. And when you have them ready, start by applying a quat of water onto the entire sky. Don't add too much. We only need a shiny coat. Run your brush in all direction, just to make sure the coat of water is even. We don't need pools of water. Okay, so the sky is evenly wet. Now we can start to apply the colors. And for that, I'm using a round brush. This one is size number eight. The first color I'm going with is pink. It's a pasil pink. It's called brilliant pink from Shinhan. I'm using a brighter tone, and I'm applying this on the top of my sky. See that? I have taken a good amount of paint, and it is quite bright and vibrant. It's not too light. Next with the same brush, I'm going to pick some rose. This one is permanent rose again, from Shinhan. And I'm going to apply that next to pink, and I will blend them together. Maybe we can add in some more. And then towards the bottom, I will introduce violet. First, let me blend these two. Okay, so we have some pastel pink and a bright pink in the background. I'm taking more permanent rose, and I'm adding that at the bottom. So the colors I have chosen for this car is quite vibrant than the other ones we have tried. Now, I'm gonna clean my brush before I go with twolet. There is one task that I need to do before that. And for that, I'm picking some orange, and I'm adding that at the center right over here onto that wet layer. Okay, we can add a bit more. So just introduce some reddish or orangish tone onto the background. That's where we're going to place our sun. We don't need a lot. We just need a little change in the color. Now, I'm going to go back with rose, permanent rose, and I'm going to finish off the sky. Then gradually I will introduce some violet along the horizon line to bring in some contrast. You can see that orangish color at the center. That is something I really wanted for the sky. I'm adding more rose at the horizon line, and that's it. So that's our base layer. So we have a lighter pink on the top, then some brighter pink at the bottom, and some orangish tone at the center. I'm adding some more rose around that orange, and that is it. So that's the base layer. We're not done yet. Now I'm picking a little of violet, and I'm mixing that with rose. So this one is more like a purple. Now, I'm adding that along the horizon line. I'm just adding a straight line, and I will smudge that paint into the background. So go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too dark, into the same rose you were using, you can add a little of violet, and then use that color along the horizon line. Now clean your brush and smudge this part. Just push and pull the color into the background. You can see how beautiful the colors are looking. That gradient of colors from light to dark is really courageous. Here is a closer look of the colors. You can see how beautiful they have turned out. I'm really loving it, especially the center. Okay, so that's a sky. Now, let's leave it for drying. Alright, so the background has dried up. Next, we will add a sun at the center. And for that, I'm going to use white watercolor. If you want to go with gouache, that's totally fine. I'll go with this one. It is just white watercolor. Okay. So at the center, I'm going to add a tiny circle. The paint is super dry, so I'm adding a drop of water. Don't add a lot. If you add a lot of water, it will look transparent. Okay, so I have added a circle using white watercolor. Next into this, I'm going to add a bit of yellow. I'm going to use cadmium yellow orange. You can go with any yellow or yellowish orange. If there's a lot of paint on your brush, I mean, white paint, you can wash it off, and then pick some yellowish orange or yellow. Now, I'm going to draw another circle around the sun just to create a glowing effect. We don't want a clean outline for the sun. So just go the yellowish color and add another line like this. Just follow that shape and add a circle, and that's it. So that's how it has turned out. Next, we are going to paint the water. We will start with the center. Over there, we will add some yellow and orange first, and then we will introduce some purple. Okay, so the first step is to apply a coat of water onto the background. You can use a round brush and you can leave the rocks. If you accidentally add some water or paint onto the rocks, that's fine. Okay. So go with any of your round fresh and apply a qua of water. Don't add any water onto the sky. The colors will smudge. Alright. So the background is evenly wet. Now, I'm going to pick some yellow first. This one is not a pure yellow. It's a yellowish orange. Now using that color, I'm adding a line at the center right below the sun. Okay, you can spread that a little into the background. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick a little of orange, and I'm going to add that next to this yellowish orange. Don't take a lot of paint. Take a little and try to leave some yellow at the center and add orange onto either side like this. We need to see both the colors in the background. Okay. So there's some yellow and some orange. Next, I'm going to go with purple. So let's clean the brush and go with the same purple we used earlier. Mix of permanent rose and violet. Add more rose and less violet. We want the colour to be more bright and purplish. We don't want it to be too much into violet side. It is such a gorgeous color. Now, from either side, I'm going to apply this color towards the center. I'm using a smaller round brrush here because the paper is quite small. So it's good to go with a size which is five or six or seven. Now from other side as well. So just from the outer side, I'm dragging my brah towards the center. And that's how I'm applying the paint. I know, at this point it is looking really messy, but don't worry about it. We are going to fix it. Just focus on adding the colors while your background is still wet. Then we will create that beautiful glowing effect in some time. Okay, so I have added purple. Now, I'm going to dab my brush on a paper towel. And with that clean dry brush, I'm just adding some lines over here just to give it a better look. The same we have to do from the other side as well. So push that paint into the center. You can see the difference it made. Be very gentle. We want to retain that yellowish color at the center, which falls right underneath the sun. That is really important. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. You can see the difference it made. Now, we have to introduce more deeper tones into the background to give it more contrast and realistic effect. So I'm going to go with the same purple. This time, I'm making it a bit more darker by adding some more violet. And I'm going to add that below the rocks first, and also a little onto either side. So this will create the shadow underneath the rocks, and we're also adding some lines onto the background to introduce a texture. This will also bring in some contrast and will make that glow even more interesting. Now, we have one rock at the center. Over there, I'm not going to add a lot of deeper tone. I will just add one small line. That's it. Now, adding few more lines in the background. I cannot tell you how much I'm loving that effect here. Earlier, it wasn't this prominent because we didn't use any darker tones. Now it is really prominent as we made the colors more darker on either end. Okay, now, I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm going to pick a lighter tone of the same color. And using that lighter tonal value, I'm going to add some more lines onto the background. Our background is still a little wet, which is totally fine, but don't use a darker tone. Go with the color which is more like a medium tone and add a few lines onto the background. Don't add too many at the center. You can add them on either side and leave out the center. If you add too many lines at the center, we will cover up all the yellow and orange. That's why I told you to limit the lines at the center. I will add a few more. Then we can leave this for trying. Okay, so this is how it has dried up. Now we're going to add some more lines onto the background. We have added them while the background was wet, so the lines are not too visible. So I'm going to go back with the same color, and I'm going to add few more lines on either side. First, I will add some lines underneath the rocks. Then I will add a few onto the background as well. Go the smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. We don't want those lines to be too thick and prominent. Okay, so simply add a few lines onto the background to create some texture. Otherwise, it won't look nice. And don't add ink towards the center. Leave it as it is. Just add them where you have purple in the background. Okay. I think this is looking good enough. I have added enough of lines. I don't want to make it too busy. Maybe a few more. You can clearly see the difference those lines made. Earlier, it was looking quite plain and empty. Now there is some texture, and it looks like water. Earlier, it wasn't. Okay, so that is it. We are done with the water. Next, we are going to paint the rocks. For the rocks, I'll be using two colors mainly, which is pains gray and brown. I will start with pains gray and I'm going to start with the ones in the outer corner. Maybe I will go with this one first, the bigger one. As they are small, we can paint all of them together. So first, I'm adding some pain scree towards the bottom. Just add them in a messy way. You don't need to put a lot of effort. Same goes to this one. You can start by adding a line at the bottom and define the shape of your rock. Then add some more on the top in a random way. Okay. So that's the second one. Next I'm going with this one here. In a similar way, I'm adding some paint screy at the bottom. Okay. Now for this one, as well. And for this one. Now, we have two more left, which I'm not going to touch right now because for those, we will need to add more of brownish tones. Okay, so I'm cleaning my brush, and have taken some brown on my brush. Now, I'm adding that onto the top part of the rocks. So in a similar way, how we added paints gray. Next, go with brown or burn ina and add them onto all the rocks. Okay, so we started off with paint screen. Now we have added some brown. Now on to the rest of the area, I'm going to add some orange. So clean your brush again and pick some orange. If it's too bright, you can add some brown along with that. Now add that onto the top part to create a very subtle glue. We have to do the same for all the other rocks. You can start from the bottom or from the top. If you're starting from the top, you have to start with orange. And if you're starting from the bottom, go with pins gray first and apply the color and smudge it. Okay. So I'm done with two rocks. Now in a similar way, we have to paint the others as well. I'm not adding too much of orange onto the other three because it's a bit away from the sun. So I'm just adding a little of orange, maybe more like brown. Okay. Now we have three more left. Maybe for this, we will go in the reverse order. I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm starting off with orange, adding that onto the top. That's where we have the sun glue. Now dabbing my brush on a paper towel and switching to brown. Once you have added the colors, just much it. You don't need to put a lot of effort. Just a gentle smudge is all we need. It doesn't need to be a perfect blend or anything. These are super tiny. We only want to go in that order of colors. On the top, you have to use orange, then brown and towards the bottom, introduce some pinks gray. That's it. Okay. So these two are done. Now we have one more on the corner. Okay, so let's go to the last one here. This one is a little away from the sun, so I'm just going to use brown and then paints gray. So over here, I'm adding some brown, towards the bottom, I will introduce some paints gray. Okay, so that's it. We are done with our painting. You can see how gorgeous it has turned out. I'm loving that beautiful glow we have achieved here. I hope you guys are happy with your painting as well. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here is our super gorgeous shimmery evening. I cannot tell you how much I love this painting. The colours are really beautiful, and I'm super happy to end this series with this gorgeous painting.
