Journey

My grandfather encouraged us to paint Goddess Laxmi on the wall during Diwali; this is my oldest memory of my creative self. I never dreamt of being an artist, but as a kid, I was always inclined toward painting and even participated in various school-level competitions. I'm from Patna, India, and almost every child goes for engineering or medical. I was no different. I completed my engineering in Information technology in Indore and moved to Pune to work as a software engineer. I worked in top IT companies for a decade, and suddenly, the forgotten love for art came back, searching for me. I started my journey as an artist in early 2019 and eventually became a full-time artist in 2022.

Transcripts

1. Intro: A bookmark may seem small and simple, but it holds a quiet kind of magic. It's special because it marks not just a page but a moment where you left off in the story, a thought that intrigued you or a feeling that stayed with you. So in many ways, a bookmark is a companion. Hello, friends. My name is Mohan Senna, and I'm an acrylic and Gash artist and also a camel art ambassador. So this class is specially designed for bookmarks with beautiful quotes in it. So it will be a 30 days class with a landscape painting in Boho style. So anyone can try it out even the bigners So come and paint along with me this beautiful and bright vibrant bookmarks. And 2. Materials Required: So let's discuss about the materials which will be required. So the first one is the paper. Now, this is the 200 GSM paper, which I'm using here, and it is seven into 2 " paper. And it's a very thick paper as it is 300 GSM paper. And it has almost 24 set which I will be using. Apart from that, we will be using masking tape to put the tape around. And then comes the pencil for drawing. You can use any pencil, technical pencil, anything. Then comes the colors. I will be using acrylic colors, mostly camel and Windsor and Newton. Apart from that, the brushes, there will be three brushes which we will be needing the flat, the round, and the rigor brush. This is the round brush, and this is the flat brush. No bigger size flat brush, normal flat brush will work. And the tissue or the cloth for wiping your the pen, the black pen and the white pen, white gelpin, the palette knife. And apart from that, we will be needing palette and the jar for keeping water. So this is it. So let's start with these beautiful bookmarks. I'm really excited to share this tutorial with you guys because this is very simple and easy to do it. Anyone can try it out with a beautiful code on it. So let's start with it. Uh 3. Shine Bright: Come back. So let's start with our first bookmark. So let's first put the masking tape all around. This is the masking tape which I'm using. So try to put half on the base and half on the page. First, put it on the base so that extra gum comes out and then start putting it on the bookmark page. So just half on the page and half on the base. So like that, we have to put all over. So be careful that it should be in a straight line. Then only it will look nice and neat. If you're not able to put in straight line, try to put the line first and then put the masking tape. So very simple and easy way of putting it. First, put it on the base so that extra gums remove, and then you can put it on the page. Half on the page and half on the base. I will be putting on all four sides. Now, this is not compulsory. You can also leave it and you can directly do on the entire bookmark. It's your choice. So this is all I have done, the taping. Now I'll just do a little bit of drawing of the mountains because these are landscape paintings which is done in Boho style. So it's very simple. It's not very complicated. Anyone can try it out. So first I'm just trying to draw the overlapping mountains. So at least four mountains I have drawn. So one sun I will be adding, that is a half sun I will be adding on the top of mountains. So this is my smaller masking tape which I'm using. You can use compass also for drawing it. It's your choice, how you want to draw it. Scrubbing the extra lines so that when we will paint, the lines will not be visible. Make sure that from all the sides, it is properly taped. Now, let's start with the coloring. These are the colors which are there, white, violet, orange and yellow. I will be using my flat brush for painting the top first. So let's take the yellow color. You can use any yellow, whichever yellow you want, the lemon yellow or the cadmium yellow, any yellow. So I'm just mixing first a little bit of orange into this. So it's very light color, very pastel shade color. So first, I'm just trying to cover the above part. You have to do with very light color, so it should not be very dark. Applying it on the top. You can see how light my color is. Adding more white to it. Try to use very creamy color, not make it very thin color because we are using acrylics. So try not to make it very thin. So I've also covered that sun also. Then on top of that, we will be doing the painting once the color dries. Now, I have done it on a bookmark. You can do it on any sheet, any size sheet. It's up to you. I'm doing it on a bookmark, and also I will write one quote on this. So first, I've just painted the above part. Now, a little bit corn is left, so I'm just putting the same color there. Now, with my round brush, I'll start from below. So first, I will take just violet color and start painting the bottom line which is there. A very simple and easy painting. If you are a beginner and you haven't tried acrylics, it's very easy, and you have to just follow each and every step and you will be able to do it. Just try, remember that only water should be on your brush and directly take the color and fill it. Don't mix too much water in your color. Water should only be there on your brush. So slowly, slowly, I'm just adding white. So as I will go above, more and more white, I will start adding. Just be careful with the shape which is above, first outline it, and then you can fill the colors. You can use your round brush also. You can use your flat brush also for filling this. It all depends upon your choice, how you want to do it. Which brush is comfortable for you. You can see I've just filled it with this nice dark purple color with a little bit of white added to it. Now, as I'll go above, I will add more white to it. I'll just make the color lighter and lighter. Like, I have made four layers. You can add four to five layers also. It not only is that you have to add only four layers, you can add many more layers like four to five. Roly slowly, I'm just filling the colors. Now in the top layer, I will add more white and very little amount of this violet color. So now you can see the transition from the dark to light color. This type of painting really helps us to understand the color tonal values also. If you are not satisfied with one you can apply the second coat also. But if you are satisfied with one, it's fine. Now I will start adding the top part, giving a little shape, proper shape, round shape to the lower part. So it's up to you how many layers you want to apply. Now the second code you can apply, it's up to you. So if you see any brush marks, you can definitely apply second code. I would recommend to apply second code because sometimes second code makes the color more bright and more neat and with less brush marks. So that's why I'm applying the second code. Little bit color variations will be there, but it's fine because you're applying second code on the entire thing, it doesn't matter. Slowly, slowly, I'm just applying the coat with my same brush. And now let's start with the above part. So that is the sun, which I will be doing. I think the top one is fine, so I'll not apply second core. So a little bit of this red color also I have added and little bit mix of this yellow and little orange. So I want a little orangy, dark orange color. That's why I've taken red over here. So first, make the outline with circle and then start filling the color. So if you have dark orange color, you don't need red. But if you don't have dark orange color, try to add little red to that yellow and orange mix so that a different color value will come up. Very simple and easy to paint. Just try to make it as neat as possible. The more neat the painting will be, the more beautiful it will look. We are almost done with the painting. Now I will write one at over there in the darker part with my white gelpin So some of the colors, there are gap, so I'm just filling it with this light color. So once your base has dried, then only write the coat. Otherwise, wait for the base to dry. Once it has dried, then we can write it down. So let's first take out the tape. Now my whole painting has dried, so I'll just take out the tape slowly. So now let's write a small coat on top of it with my gelpin. This is a white gelpin which I'm using. So on each and every bookmark, there will be one code depending upon the landscape painting which I am doing. So let's meet in our next lesson. 4. Go With The Flow: Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark. So again, I have just taped down the entire thing. And first, we'll draw a little rough sketch and then we'll start painting it. So this is go with the flow as the names suggest. It's like a water which is flowing and you should flow along with it. It's like that, the message. So that's why I'm drawing here first the waves, which is there, and then we'll create one sun, very simple painting and very easy to do it. Anyone can do this type of painting. I'm just creating some nice curvy lines. After that, I'll create small sun on top of it, half of it, and then we'll start with the painting. So for doing the sky, I will be using yellow ochre and white color. So two colors I will be using. So this is yellow ochre. If you don't have yellow ochre, you can use chrome yellow also. And this is white color, that is titanium white, which I'm using here. So I will try to make this yellow ochre colour very light color. It's a very light color. So maximum, it is white and very little amount of yellow ochre I will add to it. So you can see how much quantity I'm taking very little amount of this yellow color and mixing a lot of white to it so that the background sky becomes very light pastel shade color. So now with my flat brush, I will just start painting it. You can use your flat brush. You can use your round brush. Whichever brush you are comfortable with, you can use it, and you can just paint the entire thing. Try to use thick colour when you are blocking the entire sky. Very simple and easy to paint these bookmarks, and these are very beautiful. So mostly we will be doing here the landscape in Boho style. So this is one of them. If you're not satisfied with one coat, you can apply second at after the first coat dries. Now, once you are done with the background, now we will be doing the we can do the sun and then we can do the water. It's up to you whatever you want to do. Now, the color which I'm using for water is the hallow blue here I'm using, but you can use any blue whichever blue you have. So using my round brush, I will create a transition from dark to light color. So like this, the transition will go. So first time using the dark color, that is the dark bluish color. Then as we will go down, we will use lighter and lighter and lighter, so it will be like that. So first, try to use the darkest blue which you have, and as you go down, try to make the color from dark to light, the transition. Then only that effect will come. You can use your round brush also. You can use your flat brush also. It depends upon your convenience, what brush you want to use. You can go line by line also, and you can just directly paint it also. It's totally your choice, how you want to paint your painting. You can see as I am going down, I'm making the color more light. So this is the exact transition which we want from dark to light color. A If you're still not sure what to mix, how to mix the color, mix quite a large amount of color with the first take dark color, then on that dark color mix totally white color a little bit, and then again, mix more white, then again, mix more white like this you can do or you can divide the color into parts and then also you can mix. It's totally your wish how you want to mix the colors. You can also don't create the shape and just try to mix it first the colors, and then you can create the lines that also you can do. So here you can see, I'm just making the color a little more dark. Using directly that tallow blue and making this upper color more darker. And without creating any lines, just go down and down and down using more white and white. So like this, you have to move down. So when you will do this process, you will come to know how to mix the colors, how much to mix the colors, and how to create a nice transition from dark to light. So You can see how nicely the transitions are coming from dark to light. So that's what we want here. If you feel that the color is coming a little same, just try to mix it and just make it a little more dark. Till then you are satisfied, just try to mix the colors. This also you can do. No need to create the lines like this and just try to first create the transition from dark to light. So slowly, slowly, as I'm going down, I'm making the color more light. Now, once you're done with this whole transition thing, then you can add the lines with the dark color. Try to add the lines with the dark color. Simply dark color. Take the dark color and simply try to create some wavy lines. My color is still wet behind. I'm just adding on top of it. And these lines, I will try to blend also with these light colors so that the lines are not very sharp. I'm just trying to blend these colors on the upper part. Similarly, you have to do for all of them. Just try to blend the lines a little bit. Don't make it very sharp. Just try to blend the upper part of the line. I'm able to blend because my colors are still wet behind. That's why I'm able to bend the top part. Once you have done all these blending, now you can create the sun on top of it with just this yellow aqua colour. Using the same round brush size four or size two, and just colour the whole above round circle and see that your blue colour has dried. Otherwise, it will mix with blue and it will turn out to be green. This is it. This is what we have done it. Now, here, once the space has dried, then only write the at. Simple at with your gelpin, white gelpinO even you can use your brush also to write it. It's totally your choice how you want to write it. Simple quote I am writing here. You can see how beautiful this color is looking the hallow blue especially, and just slowly take out the tape. So if you don't want to put the tape, you can color it on the entire bookmark also. It's totally your choice. I love putting bookmarks. That's why I put the bookmarks. You can see here the color has little spread up. So what I will do it, I will just take white colour and just cover that area which has not come up properly. So this is it. Go with the flow. So you should always go with the flow. So this is it, the whole bookmark thing. I'm sure you will also enjoy doing these bookmarks and we'll meet in our next class. 5. Live: Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark with the quotation as v. So just adding some mountains, some overlapping mountains, and then we'll start with the painting. Very simple sketch, not much to do. So you can see I've created four overlapping mountains and one sun. Now, let's start with the painting. So the colors which, again, we'll be needing here is yellow ochre, white. And black. So these three colors we will be needing for our complete painting. We don't need much colors. So first, we will be doing the background. So let's first mix the colors. Now, again, a very light color we need very light yellowish color. Again, if you don't have this yellow color, you can use any color, any yellow color of your choice and try to make it a little pastel shade. So just trying to fill this whole sky color first. Very simple and easy painting, it is. Very relaxing. Just move your brush in one direction and try to fill the color. You can see water is only on my brush. That's it. And I'm just directly taking thick colour, and I'm just putting one layer of this whole light color on this background. M Now, once you are done with the above part, let's start with the mountains. So these are overlapping mountains. So we'll start with dark color. And as we will go above, it will be slowly, the color will fade. So it's like that. So let's mix first this yellow ochre and black and make it like a burned umber color. So very dark color it is. So just filling it up the lowest mountain, I'm just filling it with very dark color. And as we will go above, this color will becomes lighter. So just filling this with dark brown color. See, when you are using yellow ocher, you don't need a separate brown. You can just mix this color and you can make brown color because this yellow ocher is already a little brownish in color. Now, you can see I've added more of yellow ocher in this, and I'm just filling the above mountain. Now, again, I will make the color a little more light by adding white to it. And just filling this area with my round brush, you can use your flat brush also for filling it up. It depends what brush you are comfortable with. Very simple and easy painting. I'm sure you will enjoy doing this. Whenever you feel stressed, you don't have time and you want to paint something, you can just pick one of the bookmarks and just try it out. You will feel good. Because when we do coloring and we use colors by just moving the brush and the colors and mixing the colors, our mood automatically changes. So now we will add the leaves. But first, we will remove the tape and then only we will add the leaves. So before that, let's paint this sun, which is there with just yellow aqua color. Simply using my round brush and filling this circle. Try to do it as neat as possible. And now I will just remove my tape, and then we'll start painting the leaves. So I want these leaves to be on the white part also. That's why I'm just removing it. So once we have removed the tape, now I will start making the leaves with just black color. First, I will create the line. Make the color a little thin when you are making any lines or any detailing things. Don't use very thick colour. And when you make the color a little fluid, it will be easy for you to move and flow your brush. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to paint. So try to make the color, little fluid, and that's just grab this black color and start making the leaves. The leaves are very simple. You just have to press and release the brush. Use your round brush of size four or six and just press it and then release it. If you're using from outside, then make it a little thin and as you go down, it should be thick. The pattern is like that. So as we are going down, the leaf size will also increase. And these are like wavy leaves, not very straight leaves, something like a wave, you have to move the leaves like S type. These leaves look very beautiful when you will do it completely. You can see I'm also doing it on the white part as well. So take your time and enjoy the process of creating these leaves. You can create different leaves also. It depends upon you how you want to create it. You can also create two small leaves. I will look good. So it all depends upon your creativity, how you want to decorate it, how you want to decorate your landscape. O So you can see how beautiful these leaves are looking when we have put them on. We are almost done with this painting. We'll just put the quotation and we are done with it. The quote which we will put here is live. Just live your life to your fullest. Just live. That's it. So I hope you enjoyed this. See you in our next class. 6. Be Free: Welcome back. So let's start with our new bookmark. Be free. So let's first draw the rocks. These are rocks which are there, some small rocks and some big rocks. And simple painting, not very difficult. It's a very simple painting and one sun in the center. So very simple drawing, just a circle the center. You can draw with free hand also, and you can draw it with your compass. Now, let's see what colors we will be needing for painting this whole bookmark. The colors which we will need here is white, sap green, black, magenta, and lemon yellow. So let's start first with the background. So taking my flat brush and just magenta and more of white. So very little amount of magenta, and maximum color is white here. So we have to make a pastel shade background. So just mixing it with white and just apply it and see what color is there. It's a bit dark, so I'll add more white to it. And just with a simple coat with horizontal brush strokes, I will just fill this entire section with a light magenta color. If you have pink color, that color also, you can use it. Simple strokes, horizontal strokes. Try to fill the corners properly so that the bookmarks, when you take out the masking tape, it comes out nicely. So try to cover the corner edges nicely. Very simple painting. You can do it within 15 minutes, and you can just gift it to your any book lover, whoever you want to gift it to. I think handmade paintings are the best gift you can give to your loved ones. And especially the book lovers. Let's now paint the below part, the below two rocks which are there. So the first color which we will be using, we'll mix and make the colors here. Let's see what first we'll mix. The first color which I'm taking is the magenta color and lemon yellow. You can see it is a little orange color mixing white and little bit of black I will mix to make it a little brownish color. You can see how you can make a nice brownish color. So this way, you can just mix and make any color, whichever color you want. So it's like a raw umber color, which you can see here. Once this rock is done, the other one, I will make it a little lighter colour. Lighter means more yellow and a little bit more white, I will add to that. So it will turn out to be a little lighter color. Just filling it with my round brush. So in this whole painting, I will not be using so many brushes. Two to three brushes we will be using for this complete 30 days challenge. That is the bookmark challenge. Just try to paint it evenly. Once we have done with painting of this, again, I will mix color. That is the magenta and lemon yellow to make it orange color. So just making this a nice coat and just wash off your brush and grab the colors and just try to mix it up. You can see a nice orange color has come up. So just painting the upper sun with a nice orange color. So try to do it as neat as possible. Now, after doing this, I will remove the tape and then we'll start making the leaves of the banana, you can say. So just removing the tape very slowly. So actually be free is with the banana leaves, how they move with the wind. So it's like that you just have to move freely. Just be free. Just make yourself free from all the obstacles. And, So that's why I've kept the coat like this. So first, I'm drawing the line from the bottom, taking black color. And with black color only, I will be drawing the leaves. The simple lines from starting from the bottom, and slowly I will be creating the leaves also with black color only. So I will try to take the leaf outside the white portion also. First, I will give the shape with my black color. If you're not comfortable directly using black color, you can first draw with pencil, and then you can do the black color. It's totally your choice how you want to paint it. First, I'm making tea leaves. I will make three to four leaves because it is a very thin bookmark. It's not very thick. So that's why we cannot make too many leaves here. So just adding one more, which is wide open. Once I've drawn it, I'll just fill it with black colour. Try using milky color so that you can easily fill all the gaps. So two more. I will add one small, and one on the top, which is going towards the sun. Try using your round rush only for doing this. Just try to make it as simple as possible. So if you don't want to make that second leaf, you can make all the leaves same, but make it of different sizes, some big, some small, like that. So one more smaller one, which I will add over here. And once I'm done with the leaves, we'll create some little details with our sap green and lemon yellow color. So just a highlight on top of all these leaves. So just taking first the sap green colour and a mix of lemon yellow, just to make a little lighter colour. And I will just try to give a little highlight on the curvy part which is there. Do these detailing when your black color has dried. Otherwise, this color will mix with black color, and it will turn into black. So wait for the background to dry and then use this layer. A simple one. You can add a little bit more of white if you want, sorry, not white, yellow if you want. Adding here in the center. So just taking a little bit of lemon yellow and just sap green mix and giving this a shape. Similarly, I will do for other ones also. For this one, I will do on both the sides. Just the textures I'm giving just to give a little highlight and a little more beauty to the leaves. Once you have done this highlight, we'll just do the quotations and we're almost done with this bookmark. You can see how quickly you can do just one bookmark. So yes, these are very easy and you can quickly paint these bookmarks easily with just a few colors. Just adding a little bit highlight or with this lemon yellow color. And now I will add the coat which is there, just making a little more bright with yellow. Now, let's add code with. Either you can write above or below. It's your choice. I will write below. Taking my black pen. This is black technical pen which I'm using, and I'll just write it. I think below, I will write. Just be free. That's it. I hope you will enjoy doing this painting and see you in our next class. 7. Keep Calm: Welcome back. So let's start with our new bookmark. Keep calm. So let's start first with the sketching. Simple sketch. Overlapping mountains first I will draw. So like this, I have just drawn, I think, six overlapping mountains, and then on top of it, sun. Tree, I will directly will be creating with colors. So these are the colors, cadmium yellow, turquoise, black and white. So let's start with the first color that is Tallow turquoise. Taking white and mixing a little bit of white in this turquoise color and a little bit of black because I want a little dark color. So first, we'll start with dark color, and as we will go up, the colors will become light. You can use any color, whichever color you want. If you don't have this turquoise color, you can use any blue colour, teal color, purple color, whichever color you like, you can use it. Same process. So I'm just taking out all the colors from my palette, and then I'll start from the last one. So from the lower, we'll go to upper. So first, I'm starting with the dark color. And then as I will go up, I will start adding more and more white to it. So taking my round brush, I'm just first doing the lower part. You can see how dark this color is. Very simple and easy to paint. You just have to change the colors accordingly, just by adding white. So in this way, you will learn how to make the transition from dark to light also. Now, as I'm moving up, I'll just add a little bit more of white into this color which I have mixed, and slowly we will move upward. Oh Try not to mix your colors with the brushes because the brushes get damaged if you mix the colors with brushes. Try to mix it with your palette only palette knife. So just adding one more layer of color. Now, again, I will mix a little more white into this. You can see now the colors are becoming more light. So one by one, I will be filling each of these mountains. So so again, we will be adding white colour. So this is the easiest way to add actually white colour on the same color, you keep on adding and adding and adding, and a nice transition from dark to light will be created. So you can see water is only there on my brush and I'm just taking nice thick color Now, as I'm moving upward, again, I have added white. So you can see how beautiful the transition is coming from dark to light. So, likewise, you can use any color, whichever color is your favourite. You can use that and you can make this transition. Now, once this is done, we'll first paint the background and then we'll paint the sun. So for painting this, we will be using cadmium yellow and more white. So cadmium yellow will be very less amount, and more amount will be white because I want a little lighter color. So you can see how light my color is. So similar color you can use. If you have naples yellow, you can directly use naples yellow. Naples yellow is also similar to this color. So just applying it with my flat brush, taking thick color and blocking this background. So you can see I've just block in the entire thing. Be careful. Try not to disturb these lines which are there. Do it very carefully. The more the neat painting will be the more beautiful your bookmark will look. So I've almost filled the entire thing. Little bit is left because we'll cover that sun, so I've left that part. So I'll just take my round brush and my cadmium yellow, and I'll fill this up this entire area. Very nicely and very neatly try to do this circular part. You can see I've just done this part. After that, I will just remove the tape, and then we will be creating the pine tree. Try to do it very carefully, very neatly. Then only that effect will come. 8. Keep Calm Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start with the tree part. So just making the color a little dark, mixing black and this thalo turquoise and just creating first the line using my rigor brush. If you're not comfortable creating the line directly. First, you can create it with pencil, and then you can draw the line. So after drawing this line, we'll start creating small, small leaves as this is a pine tree. So as these will go down, the size of these leaves will start increasing. So I've just zoomed a little so that you can see the textures which I'm creating. These are just random dots and lines, which I'm trying to create it and trying to give a shape to it. As we go in the outward direction, these dots and lines decreases so that the thing becomes pointed like a leaf. I'm also filling the area which is in between those spaces that are between these leaves. So very small textures are these. Just have to create random dots and lines, and you'll create a perfect tree texture, as you can see. Try to use your rigor brush or liner brush for doing such details. It gives a very realistic look to the pine tree. So once we are done with this, we are finally done with this painting, we have to create some few leaves and we are done. So the reason behind keeping the name as keep calm because as these trees keep calm in winters and same in summers. So like these trees, we should also keep calm in extreme situations. So that's why I kept this name for this bookmark. So you can add some birds also on top of it. Very simple birds. It's totally your choice. You want to add or you want to just leave it like this because this is also looking very beautiful. You can leave the bird part also. But if you want to add it, you can So let's write the coat with our white gelpin I am writing in the dark place, so that's why I'm using your white gelpin. Simple codes, and then we can just remove the tape. You can see how beautiful this painting is looking, this bookmark. Very easy to make. Within 15 minutes, you can make such bookmarks. Also, you can extend these lines to the white part also. So the leaves which are there, you can just extend them to this white part so that it will give a little more different look to the bookmark. So just extending it more towards the white line as well. So I hope you guys are enjoying this bookmark challenge, which we are doing here. So let's meet in our next class. 9. Fly High: Hello, friends. Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark painting. So I've just taped down with the masking tape. These are the colors, white, red, Bern sienna, and Pain's gray. So let's start first with a little drawing, and then we'll start with the painting. Simple overlapping mountains first time creating. And a nice sun picks and I will create with my compass. You can directly create this circle. No need to use compass also. You can directly create the circle like this. Just make a small circle with the compass. So all these things you can directly also do. You can do with your compass, or you can take any circular thing and try to draw a small circle on top of it because on these small area, drawing with compass is little difficult because we don't want a very big sun. We want a smaller size. So now we'll start with the painting, just removing extra lines which are there. Now, let's start with painting using paints gray, little bit of white mix. First, I will do the background, that is the sky, very light color. So starting from the top, I will add a little bit more of this white, and starting from the top, I'll just try to color each and everything. Eaving the sun, I'm just trying to block in everything. If you don't have pains gray, you can use gray color also. Just add a little bit of blue in that. So just covering the background first. If you will use thick colour in one coat only, everything will be done perfectly. You don't have to use second coat. So water is only there on my brush. That's it. So once we have done with the background painting, we'll start with the lower end of the mountain with just a dark color. Little mix of this color which is left. So it's completely dark. Using my round rush, I'm just trying to block in this last one first. Very simple and easy painting. You just have to block in the shapes. Anyone can do it, and it's done within day 15 minutes. So just give a nice smooth touch to the boundary. And then after that, we'll be painting the upper part, which is with different color. That is the brown color which we have taken. That is the burnt sienna. So I'll mix a little bit of white and burn sienna together and a little bit of red also. And I'll try to just apply on this part. Just taking lots of burn Sienna, mixing white and a little bit of red, and just covering the upper part. Try to block in very nicely and neatly because the more neat your painting will look, the more beautiful it will look. Uh So I've just applied on the above. Now I will just be adding another color on top, which is the lighter color of the same version, but I'll add more white to it. So same color. I've just add a little white to this and a little bit of pains gray and just applying it on the top. So we are done almost with these three overlapping mountains. Now we'll start doing the sun with normal red colour. Any color you can take any warm colour, red, orange or scarlet lake, crimson, any color, whichever color you feel like you can take it. Just mixing a little bit of white to this and just covering it the upper circle. Very simple and easy to paint. Try to do it very neatly when you are doing the circular part. If suppose if colors comes out, just try to make a circle a little bigger so that the shape is proper. So once this is done, we'll create the trees. 10. Fly High Final Details: Come back. So let's start creating the tree line using the same color that is Pain's gray and by using my rigor brush. I will start creating the lines. I will not create a very thick tree. It's just a thin tree which is just blowing with the wind and all the leaves are just blowing with the wind. That's why I have named this bookmark as fly high. So also, I'll be creating some birds over here. So thinking that in mind, that's why I kept this bookmark as name as fly high. So everything has meaning. So yes, so just making the lines a little thick. So just making the lines a little more thicker and a little more branches and sub brranches I will be adding. Now, whenever you are adding these lines, just try to make sure that your color has to be fluid. It should not be thick color. Otherwise, you will not be able to create thin lines. So try to make your color a little thin, then only your lines will be also thin. So that's why try not to use thick colors when you are creating such fine lines. Just adding some of the branches and sub branches and few leaves also, I will add to it. Just adding some leaves. You can add these leaves with your round brush also. That will be easy for you because these round brush has nice round tip on the top. With this brush, you can easily add some nice round leaves. Simply adding few of them here and there. Just enjoy this process of drawing leaves, drawing trees. It gives a very soothing effect, and within 15 minutes, you'll be able to complete this and die of painting. So small small birds also you can add. But it's not compulsory. You can leave it like this. But if you will add, it will be good. So you can add some small small birds on the top. Small small size birds, since my painting is also very small. So let me zoom in a little so that you can see it clearly what I'm drawing because these are very small and tiny birds which I'm drawing on top of this bookmark. Very small and tiny birds are these. So do it very carefully. You can also do it with your technical pen if you're not comfortable doing with your brush. It's completely fine. Very small and tiny little birds which are flying high. So only three birds I will add, not more than that. After that, I will just be adding the coats. So three to four birds is more than enough. Now let's add the coat also a little bit more branches and shapes you can add. If you want you can add more birds. It's your choice, how many birds you want to add. Or you can just leave it like this just making the tree. That's completely your choice. So now just adding a little bit more of these lines, just making a little thick and a little more lines, thin lines here and there. Now, let's add the coat with my white gel pen. You can also write in this black part also, but I'm writing in the center. So just simple codes fly high with a quotation. So yes, double ates and we are done. Let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So let's meet in our next class. 11. Be Still: Welcome back. So let's start with our new bookmark, B still. So first, we will just draw a little sketching and then we'll start with the painting. This painting will be completed, like within 13 minutes. So let's start. Just simple outlines I'm doing. And then I will just start coloring it. I just simple sunset and the pathway, that's it you have to draw. The boat, I will be drawing directly. So let's start with the painting first, these are the colors. The first color is black, tallow blue, orange, white, and naples yellow. So these are all colors we will be using. So let's start with our painting. I will be using flat brrush. So first I'm taking naples yellow directly, and I'm just applying it to the foreground. Now, if you don't have naples yellow, you can use cadmium yellow and just mix a little white to it. A similar type of color will come up. So just applying it in the foreground first, simple yellow, taking thick color. Water is just on my brush and I'm just painting it in a nice one direction. So once we are done with this painting, then we will be doing the background and the middle ground. Let's just wash it off my brush, and we'll take the second color. Thoroughly wash it off your brush. Now let's start with the orange color. I will be using simply orange color and I will just apply it on the above background. I haven't mixed any color. I'm directly using cadmium orange over here. You can see how bright this color is. Try to do it in one direction. And with very light pressure, you have to fill in the colors. Once we are done with this, we'll wait for the background to dry. Then only we will add the sun and the birds. So let's do the middle part, which is the thalo blue with a mix of white to it. So just mixing a little amount of thalo blue to this white. So whenever you mix any colors, take the lighter color first and mix with the darker color. So this is the rule. So I'm using here round brush because I want to make a line over the foreground as well as the background. It should be a nice neat line. So that's why I have used here my round brush and try to fill it in one direction. After you can fill it with your flat brush also, but I have taken round brush and I'm just trying to fill it up. You can definitely switch to the flat brush if you are just blocking in. Now, if you don't have tallow blue, you can use any blue, whichever blue you have. If it is dark, just mix a little bit of white and try to fill in the colors. Mm sure you do the above area, which is the orange part carefully because there is a line in between the orange and the blue. If your orange is wet, it will mix with blue, and it will turn out to be a nice grayish color which we don't want. So now you can see I've left a little bit of white space there because first I will color this whole sun with mix of naples yellow and white. Tick color you have to use. Only when your background has dried, don't use it on wet one. Otherwise, this color will turn into orange. So once your background has dried, then only apply this color. Try to do it as neatly as possible. The more neat you will do, the more beautiful it will look. So once we are done with the above part, now we can do the lines in pillow, just covering it carefully with my round brush. Okay. So now let's start with the boat which is there. You can also add some birds above with the white color or black color. Whichever color you feel like you can just add it. I thought of adding white color. So I'm just adding a simple V shape normal birds, very simple, which we used to learn in our childhood. So yes, now let's do a little bit of shadow effect of this sun. So I'm just making the color a little light, and I will just add a little bit of shadow effect to the area which is just below the sun. Just simple lines because since this is a boho painting, we don't have to do a very detailed one. So now we will be adding some more lines with my flat brush. This will give a more nice finish to the lines. Once we have created these lines, now we will add the boat which is very small boat, it is not of very big size. Simple boats, it's not very complicated, you just have to take your round brush of size two or four and just try to create a nice curvy shave like a U and just make it a little thick with a nice little thick and with a nice triangle shape on the top. If you are facing difficulty doing it directly, then first draw with your pencil and then you can color it with black color. Just a simple sketch and also a shadow, which is same, similar. Whatever you have created above, you have to create just below. Very simple and easy sketch it is. You can directly do it with your same color also, and if you have difficulty, then you can obviously draw and then paint it. So just creating the reflections just below this board. Try to make it with similar shape, little bit of up and down is fine, but try to give it a little shape of the board which is above because it is a mirror image. Do it very carefully and neatly. You can see a similar shape I have given to the below boat also. I will add some reflections also of the water with my same flat brush just on top of it. Make sure that your color has dried, this black color. Then only put this lines. Otherwise, that black color will mix with this light color and it will turn out to be a grayish color. Just adding small small lines to give a watery effect, the reflection effect to it. Making the lines more crisp and clear. Now let's add some leaves below, with my round brush only. You can take any size two, four, one, any size brush and try to create some nice leaves below. Just with the tip of your brush, you can easily create these leaves. You can see these leaves are mostly in the upward direction. Now, this is completely option. You can leave it empty also. It's your choice. If you want to leave it empty, you can leave it empty also without any leaves or any grasses. So more grasses on the sides. So just adding some few crosses. And then after that, we'll write the quotations where the area which is left in between the yellow So taking my black technical pen, I will be writing the name, the quotation over the yellowish area. As the names suggest B still, so boat that's why I have resembled here the boat. So be still be calm and be gentle. So like a board, you should be still calm and gentle and keep flowing. So let's see, take out the masking tape and see how it looks. So this is the whole bookmark complete painting. I hope you enjoyed this. If you are painting this out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohni Art Gallery. I will love to see it, and we'll meet in our next class. 12. Still Blooming: Welcome back. So let's start with our new bookmark that is still blooming. Let's first draw some sand areas which are there. So we are drawing some sand dunes, just normal wavy lines, three to four lines we will draw, and then our sun and then we'll start with painting. So characters we will draw directly by using the colors and just a little small sun on top of it, and that's it. And then we'll start with the painting. So let's take first color, which is the red color. 50% red and 50% born Sienna, we will mix together and we'll make a nice reddish brown color. That put the colors we will be using together. So I'll just mix these two colors with my palette knife. Nicely just mix both the colors together. And after that, we will be using white color, sap green color, and black also. So let's first take white color because we have to make the color a little light. And it should be a light color it should not be a dark color when we are doing the background specially. So we'll make just a pastel shade of it. I'm just taking sap green also, so that we will do it simultaneously. So first, we will use the color which is the normal dark color which is there. The reddish brown color. And I'm just painting the first one, which is the below one. And as we will move above, we'll start adding more white to it. So this is how it goes. These are all sand dunes, which I'm showing with different brownish, reddish, brownish color. So as I will go above, I will just start adding more white to it. So I've given the name still blooming because instead of these such harsh weather that characters still blooms there. That's why I given have suggested that name to this bookmark that it is still blooming. So, likewise, in our lifestyle, also, there are many times which is very tough, but still some people are a very happy face always smiling. So this is what it is. Nature teaches us a lot. So just adding the layers. As we go above, we'll start adding more and more white to it. So as you can see, Very simple and easy painting, it is. Anyone who is a beginner can easily follow all these steps and can easily make these beautiful bookmarks. Very easy, very simple. And very relaxing it is. You just need your 23 brushes that is round brush, flat brush, and the liner brush, and you can make such beautiful bookmarks. The last one I'm adding with more light color, and then we'll start adding the sky. The sky will be the lightest color of this color. So you'll see how it is. Now I'm using my flat brush and mixing more amount of white, and I will start applying from the top. Make sure that all these masking tape is taped down nicely, otherwise, those crisp line will not come up. So just adding more white to it to make it to the lightest color which is there. It's like a buff tan color, you can say. So any color you can make just by mixing the colors. If you don't have brown, you can just make orange and add some black. You can make easily that brown color. I have just applied the first layer of the sky. I think I have used a thick color so I don't need to do it again. So if you're using thick color, you don't need to do the layering or blocking of colors again. Now, after doing this, I will start painting the sun, but you have to wait for the base to dry. Once the base has dried, then you can add the sun which is on the top of the sky. Simply just to remove the brush marks, just doing one more layer. Now, once this is done, I will then take the colors, blending, just putting one more layer to give a nice smooth touch to the background. Now we will start adding the sun. My base has dried. Now I will just take this dark color which is there. That is the mix of the colors which are there, and I'm just applying coloring that circle very properly so that it is round and very neat. So now I will start adding the cactus part. So for the cactus, again, I'm using my round brush, sap green color. And first, I will create the shape, and then I will color the whole thing. So first, I'm just taking my brush. Water is just on my brush and I'm just first creating the shape of it. So in round brush, there is one technique that the more you will press your brush, the more thick the lines will be. So first, I'm just creating a nice thick vertical line with a nice semicircle on the top and just filling it with the colors. Now, you can see my sap green is a little translucent. So I'll just add a little bit of white to make it more opaque color because I don't want a translucent color. So just adding little white can make your color a opaque color. Adding a little more darker color to the sides, just to give a little highlight to it. So more cactus roots which are there. The stems which are coming out, this is not a root. This is the stem, small, small stems which are coming out. So just very simple and very easy to make. Two. So this is one plant which grows in these areas which are mostly the desert area. It holds a lot of water inside, so I'm just making a little big. I don't want it to be very small, so I'm just extending the line a little bit above. You can see I've just extended it a little more above. Now we will add some details also to this little bit of the little bit details, not too much. I've just taken black color over here and with mixing black and sap green, I will just make one area a little bit more dark so that it will give a little more effect to this plant. Also, I will add some more details to this whole plant structure, adding a little more darker color to one side only. Now, I'm just using my gelpen that is the white gelpen to write the quotation. You can write it on the top with black or you can write it below also with white color. It's your choice. I think black will suit more over here. So I will just start writing with black color because white is not visible. With white technical pen, I'm writing the ads still blooming. Now, let's give a little more details to this. This has dried up and now just small, small white dots I will add onto this area. I think I'll use the round brush because with round brush, it is more easy to create small, small round dots, thick colour and small small round dots here and there. Oh. So you can see just small dots I have just added. You can add one more characters if you want, or you can leave it like this. Let's remove the tape and see how it looks. Now, you can see the little color has come up there, so I will fix it just taking my same color, and I will just try to fix this up with my round brush. You can fix anything, any mistakes over here when you are using acrylic. So let's meet in our next class. 13. Make Your Own Magic: Friends, welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. Make your own magic. So I'm just drawing the center line, the horizon line, and above, there will be overlapping mountain, or you can create a simple mountain just in a U shape. And after that, we'll draw the dolphin whose face is upward. So very simple sketch. Not much. So just drawing the nice U shape, something like X shape size and some fins dividing the line in the center, and there is a fin which is on both the sides. So the name which I have given here, make your own magic. So like the dolphin creates their own magic in water and creates the magical beauty inside the whole ocean. Same way, people can also do and create their own magic. So nature teach us so many things in so many ways. So just thinking this in mind, I created the at this make your own magic. A small bird which is flying above. And that Dolphin is looking at it and just enjoying and making its own beauty above the water surface. So just a small sketch, and then we'll start with the painting. So let's start with the painting. So the colors which we will be needing here are just four colors. That is cobalt blue, yellow ochre, black and white. So let's start from the top. So from for the top, I will be using yellow ochre and white, so it will be more of white and less of yellow ochre. You can mix it directly with your brush or you can also use your palette knife for mixing. So I'm just currently mixing it with my own brush. That is flat brush, and I will apply just same color on the top. If you don't have yellow ocher, you can use the cadmium yellow also for this whole thing or naples yellow, any color you can use. So just blocking the above part. U Now we will be painting the lower part. The lower part is more lighter in color. And in the same color, I'm just adding little blue, and I'm starting to fill this whole thing. Just adding a layer of very light, bluish, grayish color and just mixing more of this yellow and blue and just applying it and moving the brush in the downward direction. So try to add the brush strokes in one direction only. Then you will get a very smooth finish of the background. So once we have done with the background, there's a little bit of pencil line which is visible still below this color. So we can easily paint it. So let's first start painting the mountain, and then we'll gradually move to the dolphin. So just adding a black and little white to this blue and making it a light grayish, bluish color. So it is a dark color, and I'm just using my round brush and trying to fill this entire area which is there. So just filling it very carefully without disturbing the horizon line. The more you will paint such type of painting neatly, the more beautiful it will look and try to use thick colour so that in one go only, you are done with the painting because these are very small paintings. Now, once you are done with this, let's now paint the dolphin which is there, adding black and making the color a little thin. And using my liner brush, I will try to first fill in the colors which are black in colour, the body of the dolphin. Whenever you are drawing or coloring anything, first try to outline it, and then you can fill in the colors easily so that your colors will not come outside. So first try to outline it everything. And then with your same liner brush or rigor brush, you can just fill it up. Since this is a very small area, that's why I have taken my rigor brush to fill this up. You can use your round brush also of size zero or one. So try to do it as neatly as possible. Just making the line below. And then the fins, also, we will try to color it. So so then comes the white color. So before white color, let's add the water part first, and then we can color the white one. So being same color, which is the mountain color, very dark color, and just applying some nice water ripples which are coming there. That dolphin is creating magical ripples around its whole body. That is the magic which the dolphin is creating. So once we are done with those ripples, then our black color has already dried. Now we can apply white colour in the body part, which is the below part of the dolphin. Let's add the bid same color. Again, all these small things try to do with your rigor brush because these are very small, small shapes which we need to be done properly. That's why try to do it with your rigor brush. So let me zoom in a little so that you can see it properly. So you can see how the lines are coming very neat and crisp line to create it. Always try to use your liner or size zero or rigger brush because this will help you to create a nice and neat painting. Now, let's paint the part which is the body part of the dolphin, the below part, which is there. So just adding white color on that part. Also, some white is there on the black part also. Everything I'm doing with my rigor brush. Now, this is the whole painting which is done. So now we will write some quotes below. That is, make your own magic. This code I'm writing with my black technical pen, simple lines with a quotation. So this is it. You can see how beautiful this painting is looking after it is done. Very simple and very easy to do it. Anyone can try it out. And if you are trying out this painting, do tag me on Instagram that is Moheni Art Gallery. I will love to reshare that. So now let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So now we will meet in our next bookmark painting. So I hope you are enjoying this series. 14. Slow Down: Welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. So these are the colors, white, naples yellow, black, and hallow blue. So these colors we will be using and a flat brush. Let's start first with the background painting. We'll not be using any drawing or anything. We'll directly draw with the colors. So I'm just making the color a little light, and then we'll start from the top. So as you can see, I'm trying to make a u pattern to this background painting. That's why I'm painting it in a shape. So just trying to paint it in a U shape, and as we go down, we'll start adding the yellow one. So I'm just making the color a little light and just blending the colors. And as we will go down, we'll start adding the yellow part. So here you can use the round brush also, but I feel that flat brush will give more neat finish to the background. That's why I'm using the flat brush. So once the coating is done, then we'll start creating the trees. So I'm just painting it, and then as I go down, I'll start adding the yellow colour. So you can see I'm making a little lighter, moving it in the upper direction so that there are less brush marks there, a little more darker on the top and trying to blend the colors. So like this, we have to move the brush. Now we'll take white and naples yellow mix, and we'll start with below, and we'll start adding and blending the colors with this. Blue color. Now, you can see my blue has already dried. That's why that line is coming. So now, again, I will take blue color and start blending it with this yellow. When you mix naples yellow and this tallow blue, it gives a very nice greenish touch to it. I not turns permanently green, but it gives a very nice, beautiful color which comes out to be. You can see the color which is coming out. Very beautiful color comes out. So just trying to blend it with very light pressure, very light and you have to blend the colors. After blending is done, we'll fill the below part with the yellow colo itself. Now with our rigor brush, we'll start creating the trees. So the trees the background trees will be a little lighter. So mixing yellow to this blue, and we'll create nice tree structure, big, big trees at the bottom part. So you can see some are small, some are big. So random sizes of trees, we'll start adding So very beautiful way of creating pine trees, which I like to paint the most, this type of pine tree. As the quotation says, slow down. Slow down means you have to just enjoy the process of everything, whether you are painting, whether you are doing anything. Don't move fast in it. Just enjoy the process, slow down and watch how it is going. So you should not run in a rat race. You just enjoy the process and just see how the brushes are moving, how you are painting it, how your life is going, slow down a bit. Oh similarly, nature also does same thing. It slows down. Sometimes you must have seen that at a point, the trees stops there and it slows down and it breathes. So this is a time when it is fully grown and it has slowed down, and it is just relaxing. So you can see the light color trees I'm creating at the back. And as we will move forward, we'll create the darker trees. Same type of trees I will be creating on all the four trees. Now, here the area is very small, so you cannot add too many trees over here. So I think four is more than enough. So just enjoy the process, feel the flow of the colors on the brushes, how the brush is moving, and just enjoy the process of creating a new bookmark. Each and every bookmark has its own uniqueness, has its own beauty. So you can just pick any one of them whichever you like, and you can start painting. Most of them are completed within 15 minutes. So even if you have 15 to 30 minutes time, you can just paint one bookmark. No need to paint all of them. Just paint one of them, whichever you like, and it's done. Now, taking black color and mixing a little water. Whenever we are creating any lines or any details, try to use thin color. Just mixing a little water in this and creating some nice trees on top of the lighter one. I have drawn four lines, and on top of that, I will start creating the trees. Very simple and easy to create. You just have to create with dots. Dots and lines, simple textures. Let me zoom it so that you can see it clearly. So these are just simple lines and dots which I'm creating over here. Similarly, I will be creating for other trees as well. Try to use the black color on top of this lighter one. So here you can see I've just added four of them because the space is very less. So yes, we can add just four of them, and that's it. Very simple, easy and beautiful painting, it is. So just enjoy it. Do it slowly, take your time and enjoy the process of the details. So once we are done with all of these four trees, we'll start adding some birds on top of it. And on small, like a U shape moon also, I will add there. So with just using your same brush, or you can use your technical pen also for creating the birds. If you face any difficulty creating the birds directly with your brush, you can use your technical pen as well. Very small tiny birds. I'm just creating on top of it. So I'll just zoom it in so that you can see the details of the bird properly because these are very small and tiny birds, which I'm creating over here. Just created three of them, but you can create four to five birds. It's completely your choice, how you want to do it. If you face any difficulty doing with your rigor brush, you can definitely use your technical pen, or you can use your liner brush of size zero to create these small and tiny birds. These are very small and tiny in shape. But these cute little birds add beauty to this painting. So try to do it very carefully. So just three birds, I will add a small moon, which is there on the side. So just enjoy the process and do it very carefully when you are doing this. And just taking a little white color, making it a little very less white color you have to take and just a very thin. It's a half semicircle shape you have to create very thin it is taking a little bit more of white and making it a little more visible. We are done with this. I'll start adding the codes, which is slow down with my black technical pen, and then we are done with it. This moon shape you can also create with your white gelpin if you want. Normal slow down with black technical pen. And this is it, and then we'll just take out this tape and see how it looks. So this is complete, so we will meet in our next class. 15. Accept Yourself: Welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. So first, we will be doing the sketching, and then we'll start with the painting. Simple sketching, starting from below, and some nice landscapes, and then the sunset. So the main part here is sunset. And the coat which will be here is the accept Yourself. A simple sunset drawing with the rays going outward. So the main focus here is the sun which is there with the nice rainbow warm colors which it is spreading. So how the sun accept itself like that also we should also accept ourself. So it's like that. Simple lines, I'm just drawing it out, and then we'll start with the coloring. Very simple sketch. You can draw these lines directly with scale also, or you can draw simply with your free hand. It's your choice. Now, let's start with the painting. So the first color which we will be using here is the Indian yellow. The second color will be red. You can use any red, naples red, scarlet lake red, any red, cadmium red, whichever red you have, you can use that. And the third color is the lemon yellow. So lemon yellow after that, black and white. So these are colors we will be needing for the painting. So I've just taken out all the colors and we'll just start with the painting. So using my round brush, I will be doing first the lower part, taking red colour and a little bit of yellow, Indian yellow and white mix, and starting from the bottom part, I'll just fill in this whole area which is there. It's a nice, pinkish, yellowish color with tint of white added to it. After that, we'll do the next part, which is the adjacent landscape which is there, making the color a little dark by using black color in this little brownish color it will come. So you can easily mix and make brown just by adding all these colors. So simple brownish color, or if you have directly burned sienna, you can use directly that color also. But I feel when you mix the colors, you learn more how to mix the colors and make the combinations. So this part we will be doing with this dark color. Now, the above part, I will be taking this lemon yellow and Indian yellow and just mixing together both the yellows and filling the upper part. Whenever you are filling the colors, try to make first the outline and then fill the colors. That will be easy for you to fill the colors. Take thick colors so that in one go, it's done. Otherwise, you have to repeat another code. So try to take thick colors and do the blocking of these things. Try to make it as neat as possible. The more neat you will make, the more beautiful it will look. We will paint the sun which is there. I'm just adding a little bit of red and this Indian yellow together with lemon yellow mix, making it a dark orange color and painting this above round shape. Covering this whole circular part. So you can see how we can make orange also just by mixing the red and yellow color. You can see how bright orange it has come up. So now we will be painting the above part. So we will be using two to three colors in the above portion. So let's begin with that. So the first color, we'll do one by one the colors like alternate colors we will be using. So total, there are four colors which we will be using. So the first color I'm just making it with white and little pink color. I'll start from the first part, and leaving the three parts, I will do the fourth one. So like that, I will start painting the whole rays which are there. You can see I have left the three gaps, and the fourth one I'm painting it. Again, I will leave the three gaps, and the fourth one, I will paint it. So like that, I have done this whole painting. So the first color which I have mixed, I will first block in the entire thing, and then we'll move to the next part. As you can see, all the three of them, I have just colored it. And I think the bottom one also, I will do it because after three, the bottom one is also left out. So like that, I'm leaving the three parts and the fourth part, I'm painting it with this light pink color. 16. Accept Yourself Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start further. So the three of them I have done. So let's mix another color, which is the light yellowish color. So that's what I'm making here. So if you don't have this Indian yellow color, you can use cadmium orange color also. So it's like a more of towards or cadmium yellow also you can use. It is somewhat like that type of color. And just covering one by one, all of them. So like that, after pink, I'm using this yellow color. So every adjacent color, which is the pink adjacent to it, I'm just adding this light yellow color. So now comes the third one. After that, we'll do the third color which is there. The third color is the yellow and white mix, lemon yellow, which I'm using here. So this is a different yellow, you can see. So just a lemon yellow and white colour. So both the yellows are different. Indian yellow and lemon yellow, both are different yellows. So adjacent to Indian yellow, I'm using lemon yellow and white mix and filling it up. Likewise, you can also divide your sections and you can paint it with different variations of warm color. Now I'm using this red and both the yellows mixed together. This will create another form of orange color. You will see here. Very nice bright orange color it will create. So this is the fourth color which I'm using here. So you can see a nice orange color has been created over here. So there are total four colors which are there, which I have divided into. Now, all these paintings I have just done with this brush only this round brush. It's a very good brush, and all these paintings you can do just with one brush also, the round brush. This round brush is of size six, which I'm using here. So you can see I've just blocked everything. And after drying, I will start outlining it with white. But first, you have to wait for the background to dry. Then only you can use that white gel and you can do the outlining part. So I'll start from the bottom outlining. So I will outline each and everything with my white gelpin. If you don't have white gelpin, you can use white color and just outline it with your liner brush. That also you can do Simple outlining each and every part of these drawings which we have made. So just outline it carefully. Make sure that your background color has dried. Otherwise, it will not work. So your background should dry then only outline it with your gelpin. Once we are done with the outlining, we will start with the quotations, which will be written below. So you can do this outlining with free hand also. You can do this outlining with the scale also. It's totally up to you how you want to outline it. You can also create these wavy lines. It is a straight line. You can create some wavy lines on top of it to create the rays. It's totally how you want to paint your style of painting. So I'm just giving a little idea that this also you can do. Mm. You can see I have just outlined it with my gelpen each and every line. And after that, I will start writing the code which is there. With the same gelpin, I'll start writing the code in the darkest section which is there. Simple codes. You can write this code or you can write something else. It's totally your choice. I thought of writing this by seeing the sun. So you can write anything, whichever coat you like, you can write it. And this is. This is the complete painting. Let's take out the tape and see how it looks. You can see how beautiful this painting is looking. Let's meet in our next class. M 17. Glow: Welcome back. So let's start with our new painting. So these are the colors which are here. So the first color which we will be using is the Prussian blue, black, white, and fluorescent pink. So let's start with the painting first. Here, we will not be drawing anything. We'll directly paint. So first color which I'm using here is the Prussian blue. So a little bit of black and Prussian blue mix. With my flat brush, I'll start from the top. So starting from the top and as we'll go down, it will be more towards the pinkish side. So as we will go down, we'll just add Prussian blue and we'll try to blend this color with the dark color. So as you can see, the area is very small, so try to do it very neatly, especially at the edges so that this proper border comes out. It's just trying to fill all the areas, especially the corner areas. Now, as we are going down, I'll add more of white mix to this blue. And just trying to blend both the colors. So you have to remember that whenever you are blending two colors, both the color has to be wet. Otherwise, it will not blend. So again, I'm washing off my brush because the dark color has been there on my brush. So taking again the lighter color and putting it aside and trying to blend with the darker one. Like this, we'll go all over to the down part. So just taking more of this blue because this blue has dried up. So just adding this blue and trying to blend with the lighter color, washing off my brush, removing extra water, and then we'll try to blend the colors more. Just with a damp brush, I'm just painting and blending the colors. So now taking pink color, mixing it with this white and just putting it a little bit, taking a little bit of blue also because my blue has dried and just blending this colour with this lighter blue colour. So here we have to mostly focus on the blending part because we are making a dark, glowing sky. So maximum portion is the dark portion. Adding more pink to it. And as I will go down, it will be more and more pink. So this pink color, I'm trying to blend with this blue colour. So when you blend this blue colour with pink color, automatically, some of the colors turns out to be violet. So just try to blend it as much as you can. So try to use thick colors because if you will use thin colors, it will not blend. And if you will use thick colors, the colors will not dry very fast and it will blend easily. Now just with damp brush, I'm just trying to blend this pink with blue. Now it adds some lighter effect, which are the sparkling effect to this whole background. So with my same brush, that is the flat brush I will wet my brush, make the color a little fluid, and I will start spraying the colors on top of this whole background. So a little light violety color which I'm making and just spraying it with my finger using my flat brush. So you can see how nicely the stars are coming up when you sprinkle it like this. So once done this much, now we'll start creating the trees. So we have to wait for this background to dry before drawing anything. Once this background has dried, then we can add the trees part. So for the tree part, I will be using a mix of blue and black mix. So more is black, less of blue, mixing it and with my rigor brush, I will start creating the lines first and then we'll create the tree textures. So starting from the top, slanting lines are these. And as it is going down, it is becoming more and more bigger lines. So like this on both the sides, I'll try to create. So you can see I'm just creating the lines. So once done, we'll create some more stems, some more branches to these lines. Adding few branches and making the line a little thicker. You can use your rigor brush or your size zero round brush, any brush you can use to create these branches and try to make the color a little fluid when you are creating such lines. Don't use thick colour. Try to use thin colour. So I've kept the name of this bookmark as glow as stars glow in the dark. That's why I have kept this name of this bookmark as glow. I've just created the branches and sub branches. Now we will create some leaves. For the leaf texture, I will be using, again, my flat brush, a completely dry brush, and using my dry brush, I will take some of the darker color, and with the side of the brush, I'll create the textures. Very little color you have to take. Don't take too much color. Otherwise, it will create a patchy effect. So take very less amount of color on your brush and just with the side of the brush, you have to create the textures. So slowly, slowly one by one, I'm adding these textures. Here you can use your fan brush also for creating textures. But here I have used the flat brush only for creating such textures of the trees. So wherever I have created three branches, there only I'm adding these textures. So try to take very less amount of color when you are creating such type of texture. Don't take too much color. Very little little amount of color you have to take. Now you can see entirely I have done the texture part. Now we'll start writing the coat. I will mostly write the coat in the section, which is the dark section with my white gelpin. So let's first make it dry and then only try to write it down. Now, just writing in the darkest part which is there with my white gelpin just a big this is it. Let's take out the tape and see how it looks. You can use any color of your choice you want. So we will now meet in our next bookmark session. So this is the complete bookmark.
