30 Days Acrylic Painting Challenge : Bookmark Landscape Painting In Boho Style

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. 18. Silent Beauty: Come back. So let's start with another bookmark. So this bookmark is silent beauty. So first, let's draw some sketches, and then we will start with the painting. First, I'm drawing the center line with scale. Then with some wavy lines, which is starting from the corner, and it is ending towards the other side of the bookmark. So this is the and some overlapping mountains, very small overlapping mountains are these and the sun. So there's much drawing we will be doing. After that, we'll start with the painting. So let's talk about the colors which we will be needing for the painting. So the colors which we will be needing is the white Indian yellow, red, cobalt blue and black. So let's start top first. So for the top, we will be using a kind of orange shade. So first, I will be taking white color, and with my flat brush only, I will be doing taking enough of white, then this Indian yellow. So Indian yellow is a bit of orange in color, so as you can see here, and a little bit of red to make it a little bit more orange. So if you have orange color, you can directly use orange color. It's your choice, how you want to use your colors. You can use different background color as well. So this is what I have taken. So I'm just covering it fully with my thick color. If you will use thick color, the color will not bleed inside the masking tape, and in one coat only, it will give a nice finish. So just covering the upper part first. You can see I'm slowly covering the part, leaving behind the sun and the mountain. So very slowly try to cover each and every part. So the upper background is done. Now we will start doing the lower part. So for the lower part, I'm taking white and a little bit of black mixed to it. So making a grayish color and a little bit of so you can see, I'm just using this pathway and just covering this pathway which is there beside the beach, covering it with nice light gray color. Now, this one you can also do with your round brush. It is totally your choice which brush you want to use it. You can use your round brush also. You can use your flat brush also. So now let's start painting the other part, taking, again, a little bit more of white and making a little more lighter colour, a little more light grayish color. Just filling it with a little lighter gray color. Try to do it as neat as possible. So now let's start with the water part. This part we will be doing. So taking first color, which is the cobalt blue, mixing it with white, and also a little bit more of white I will take, and I'll start filling it with this colour. This is a blue color which I have taken here. So now I will switch the brush to the round brush because it will be easy for do these wavy lines with this round brush, and it's really very difficult to do it with the flat brush. So I've switched to the round brush of size six. So just first outlining the parts and then we'll fill the colors. Very simple and easy painting, it is. It's not much because it is in a little boho style, so we don't have to do too much details in this. Just filling the colors and So just filling it with blue and white mix. So now taking my red colour, mixing this with a little bit of black and making it a little dark color. So I'll just fill the upper part first. So the upper mountain, it's quite dark in color mixing this with the colors. And the lower one, I will just add a little bit of white to it to make it a little lighter color. So try to do it very slowly, very neatly so that it looks like proper, neat and beautiful. The more neat it will be the more beautiful it will look. All these paintings, anyone can try it out. Just pick one of them and just try out any bookmark whichever you like. So it's just all the bookmarks are separate bookmarks, so you can try anyone and you can gift it to your love bus who loves reading books. They will love it, especially these bookmarks. So just covering the lower mountain, now we will do the so now we'll start doing taking black and just outlining it with my liner brush. So you can see how simple and beautiful it is looking, but try to do it very neatly. Now again, I'm adding this yellow and very little amount of white and just painting this sun which is there. Oh You can paint the sun with orange color also. I totally depends upon you which color you want to choose. All these paintings I am doing with 23 brushes, that is flat brush, then rigor brush, then round brush. So apart from that, I'm not using any of them. So as the name suggests, it is a silent beauty of the nature, just watch it and enjoy it and just feel the nature wipes. Now, let's make some clouds. Just taking this white color and making it a little liquid form and just giving a shape of the clouds. I won't be giving any details to it. Just normal circular clouds are these two to three clouds I will be creating. Just try to move your brush in a circular motion and just try to fill it up. Very simple and easy clouds are these. Not much details in this. After that, with the same color, I will also be adding birds. Using my rigor brush, three to four birds we will be adding. Okay, now let's take black and make it a little liquid form. So but before making the trees, we have to first make the highlight which is there on the water part. So taking this blue and white little white mix, so it is a light color. So just using my brush, just giving a little round shape to it. And now I will use my flat brush over here. Either you can use your flat brush or you can use this round brush to create the details. First, I will give other lines with the flat brush only. So just filling it up and making this a little green color. So you can see the color which has changed. So I'm not liking that total blue color. So I've just mixed a little bit of yellow to it to make it like a greenish, like a teal color. So I'm just filling out up with this same color. So it's up to you. If you want to leave it blue, you can leave it blue, but I thought I just want a little greenish touch to it. So I've just added a little bit of yellow in this blue mix, and I'm just filling it with my round brush. 19. Silent Beauty Final Details: Welcome back. So now let's start with the trees. So using my same brush, I will just make the colors a little lighter. And I'll just make this part little more light in color because I think it is quite dark. So just making this a little light. After that, we'll start making the trees. So before making the trees, we'll first make again, the reflection. So for the reflection, I will be using my flat brush, just taking this same color and mixing a little white and just adding some lines going towards down. So bigger lines on the top, and as it goes down, it becomes smaller in size. So very simple and easy to do it. Anyone can try it out if they follow each and every step of mine. Now taking my rigor brush and making the color a little fluid, I'll start making the trees. You can make the trees upward. As you can make it downward, but I think I'll make it downward. So from starting from the sea point towards the end, so I will be making two palm trees, as you can see. So two palm trees, making it a little thick at the bottom, and just making the leaves. Simple trees as we do in the normal palm tree painting. So first I'm creating the lines, and then I will start creating the leaves in this. So there will be two trees, one big and one small. Now, to add the lines, I'm using my round brush because with this, this will be more helpful. You can use the rigor brush also for creating this, but I thought of using this round brush. Adding the leaves to the entire section. So my first tree is done. Now I will add the second one. Second one is a little smaller in size. So just adding the smaller one. Same process as we did for the first one. After drawing this tree part, we will be writing the codes. So very simple and easy bookmarks are these. If you are trying these out, you can share your project work. You can also tag me on my Instagram that is Mohni Art Gallery. I will love to reshare them. So just adding some lines So my painting is now complete. We just have to write the codes. And after the codes, I'll just take out the tape. Just with my technical pen, I'm writing the codes. So my painting is complete. Now let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So I hope you liked it and see you in the next class. 20. Value Nature: Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark. So here we will be needing three colors. That is the white, blue and black. So blue is winsor blue. So first, we'll paint vertical directions. So this time we are painting it in vertical directions. So I will be using a smaller size flat brush for painting this because as the size of this bookmark is very small, so try to take a smaller size flat brush. And first I'm taking white color and putting it in the center. Taking a thick white color. So when you take any thick color, the color doesn't dry very fast. So take thick white color and start putting in the center. Then I'm mixing a little bit of this blue to this white and just putting to the sides of the white color. Just a straight line. This is actually a vertical blending which we are doing here. Just wetting my brush, taking the color, and then trying to blend this color with this blue color. As you can see, I'm just trying to blend this color with this blue color. Slowly, slowly, I will start blending the colors, leaving a little area below. Rest of the areas, I will be blending in a vertical direction only. And as we will go to the sites, the colors will become dark. So it's like mid is the lightest and the sides are the darkest. So like a misty forest, I'm trying to create this background. So as you can see, I'm just trying to blend the colors, wash off your brush, remove excess of color. And with just the lighter color, take very little amount of lighter color and try to blend the darker color. So this is how we have to do the blending on both the sides. One side, you can see I have done. The other side also, we'll do the same thing. So this painting is basically related to nature, everything related to nature, the forest, everything. We should always value our nature first. Nature gives us everything. That's why I thought of painting this as a bookmark. So we should always value nature and what it gives instead of destroying them. So nowadays, you must have seen a lot of tree cutting and the deforestation is happening. So this bookmark is related to that. So if we want a healthy environment, a healthy weather, a healthy us, then I think we should value the nature first. So it's just the painting through which I'm trying to depict So just making a misty forest. Center it's very light color, and the sides are quite dark. This is how we have to blend it. Now, the blending is, again, if both the colors are wet, then only you will be able to blend it. So try to use a thin flat brush, then only you will be able to do it. Don't use very big size flat brush. Otherwise, these color variations will not happen. So try to use a flat brush but of a smaller size. And again, you can see I've applied the darker color, taking the lighter color, I'm just trying to blend this color. So this is how this blending is being done. After blending this, I will also create the pathway below, and then the trees which are somewhere far, the far trees will be a little blurry, and the one which are closer, it will be a little dark. So like that, I will try to create the whole nature effect. So just painted the entire background. Do the painting till you feel that the whole background has been blended nicely. Now I'm using the lighter color and just putting this shape of, like, a triangle shape to the bottom part of the bookmark. With my same brush I'm using and I'm blocking this shape and how it is blending towards the lighter path. So this is like that. Now I'm using the darker color. That is the blue color, and I'm just applying it below. Mix of little bit black is also there. So just filling it up. Just filling the whole pathway over there, and then we'll draw some trees also. Now the blending and the background is done, the foreground is also done. Now let's add some trees which are first the lighter tree. First, I will make a light blue color, and then I will start first creating some light tree backgrounds with very light blue colour. That is the mid color which is there. The color should be darker than the background color which you have put in. So just adding simple lines, some short, some tall lines in between. Very light color are these. Don't try to create a very dark color. Otherwise, it will not look like a misty forest. So that's why I'm trying to create very light lines and very light colors. So just creating the light effect, these trees are very far away. That's why they are in very light in color. So now we will add a little darker ones with a mix of black and blue. So adding black and blue and just trying to create some darker trees. These are very simple trees, just some straight lines. Some are tall lines, some are short lines. So like this, I'm just trying to create it. And then we'll create the branches and sub brranches and then we are done with this painting. Now, for all of these, I'm using my rigor brush for creating the lines. You can use your rigor brush also. You can use your round brush also of size 01 to create all these branches and sub brranches of the trees. I'll not create the lines, the dark trees in the center. In the center, I will remain keep the light trees only, only onto the sides of the pathway, I will create the darker trees. So you can see I've kept the center as blank, and the rest to the sides, I've created the trees. Very simple and easy and beautiful painting it is. Once it is complete, it looks absolutely amazing. You can use any color, any color, whichever color you want. I have used here, blue color you can use here, the combination of green and yellow also. You can use the combination of purple and pink also. A combination you can use to create these types of bookmarks, these looks very beautiful and very vibrant. Any color you can use, even the paints gray or Christian blue or ultramarine blue, any color you can use to create such type of bookmark painting. Even if you can create multiple colors of these bookmarks and you can give to your loved ones. So just adding a few more trees and branches and here and there, just adding some very thin branches, some thick branches. So here and there, I'm just trying to add it up. I will not create the leaves in this. I'll just create the tree and the tree branches. So that's it. Very simple and easy to paint. It's just the background which makes it the painting look more vibrant and effective. Now I will just add a little bit of details to the pathway to create a more misty effect. With the light blue color, I will just add some of the dots and textures over this area, the light texture area just to the sides. And then with my white gelpin I will write the coat. So once this whole background has dried, then only write the coat. Don't write it on the wet one. Otherwise, it will not look good. So adding a little bit more of lighter trees and lighter grasses below just to give a little more misty look just giving final touch to the painting, and then we are done with it. And So you can see how beautiful it is looking. Let's write the quote here. If you are trying this bookmark, then you can also tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohni Art Gallery. I will love to share it on my story. And very easy and very beautiful bookmarks are these. You can try any of them. And this is it. Just we'll take out the tape and we'll see how it looks. I'm sure you will enjoy doing this bookmark painting as I did, and we will meet in our next bookmark class. So just removing the tape and you can see how it looks. 21. Grow Gracefully: Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark painting. So this bookmark is, again portrait shape, again, vertical. Let's draw a few lines, and then we are done with it. I'm just drawing the foreground and one half circle on the top, and that's it. That also you're not required to draw. You can do it directly if you are able to. And let's talk about the colors now. The colors which we are using here is orange. Naples yellow, lemon green, sap green, and black. So these are the colors which we will be using. Now, let's start from the first half circle which is there below the land area. So first, I'm using the light color. Now, if you don't have lemon green color, you can make this color easily just by mixing yellow and blue. Mix more amount of yellow and less amount of blue. And if you have normal green, you can just add a little bit more yellow to that. This will yellow and a little bit white as well. And this will create a nice greenish color. Now, you can see how I'm doing my blending. First, I'm putting the darker color, there's dark green color, which is the sap green color which I'm using here. So it's a very dark color which you can see over here. So using my same round brush, I'm just trying to put this color first and then just blending it with the lighter one. So again, I will take the lighter color and I'll try to blend this color. Nicely. So this is how you have to blend the colors. Similarly, I will be doing the other one also. The other two also in the same way. First, I will apply the lighter color and then I will move towards the darker color. So try to do as good blending as possible because here we are using two color blending and the lower part is quite dark. So once you are satisfied with blending, then it's perfectly fine. So again, taking thick color. So when you will take thick colors, the colors will not dry very far. So try to take thick colors so that you can easily blend the colors while you are adding the darker one as well. So first, I've applied the lighter color. Now I'm again adding the darker color. So slowly, slowly, I will be blending both the colors together. Same thing I will be doing for the third one as well. So a little lighter, I think below one is. So I will just try to make the shape as neat as possible. So you can see I've just added the darker one, and then, again, I will blend the color because I felt that that color is a little light. Always push the lighter color towards the darker color, then the blending will take place very smoothly. Similarly, we will be doing the lower part also. For this bookmark, I have kept the name as grow gracefully, like the trees or the plants or the smaller plants also, how they grow so gracefully, so nicely without thinking that they are thin, they are short, they are tall. So, likewise, we also should grow in our personal life gracefully, not thinking that, okay, I am dark complexion. I am white complexion. I'm short in height. I'm tall. I'm not good in studies, so we should always grow gracefully. So there are so many things we can learn from nature itself. Each and every thing in nature teaches us some or the other thing. So that's why I kept this at in this bookmark. Here you can see a thin plant or a tree which is growing so gracefully, even there's a harsh sun on top of it. So likewise, we should also grow gracefully irrespective of any situations. Now taking my flat brush and naples yellow and just filling the above part. Now, if you don't have naples yellow, again, you can mix yellow and white to get this color. Try to take thick color so that in one go, the blocking is done perfectly. Now once this whole blocking is done, we'll just add one sun on the top, which is half visible. But for drawing the sun, you have to wait for the background to dry. Once my background has dried, I will just add the sun on the top. Using my round brush just half circle. Very easy and simple painting is this. Anyone can try it out. And within 15 minutes, it is done. So once you are done with the blocking and everything, now we will take out the tape, and then we will draw the branches. So just a smooth, nice round shape I'm just trying to create. Now we will be drawing the trees. You can see these trees are also on the white part. So let's first give the lines first, and then we will remove the tape. Using my rigor brush, I'm just creating a single line. And one shorter line is also there. Just adding small small lines and in different different directions. So first, I will remove the tape, and then I will draw the lines on the other side. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to do it afterwards. So just removing the tape from both the sides. So first, I'm doing this side, and I will also do it on the other side as well. Very simple lines in all the directions. Now creating the smaller one. Smaller one is a little shorter in size. Just removing the tape, and again, same process I will repeat for the smaller one as well. I haven't removed the upper tapes because otherwise, this bookmark will move and I will not be able to paint. So I've kept that tape fixed. After drawing, then I will remove that tape. I Try to use thin colour for creating all these lines, not to use thick colors, otherwise, you'll not be able to make these lines. Now we will add the coat which is there. The coat, you can write it with black color also or white color, depending upon your choice. I will be writing with white gelpinGrow gracefully. Even some of the letters will come on the stems, which is perfectly fine because we are using white color. Very simple quotes. And if you're trying this painting out, do share me or tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohni Art Gallery. Very easy paintings are these. You can easily draw or paint it just by watching this video. Just follow my steps and you can easily paint these beautiful bookmarks and you can gift it to your loved ones. After that, we will remove the upper tapes, and that's it. Just removing the upper tape so that you can see how it looks. So let's meet in our next class. 22. Gratitude: Welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark painting. So I've just put a tape in between, and I'm just drawing first the base and then just the sun. Rest, we will just draw and paint directly. So these are the colors which I have taken out. So you can see this black, orange, blue, white and yellow. Blue is hallow blue over here, which I'm using. So the first color which I will use is the cadmium yellow, which is there and mixing it with white for doing the base. So I've just taken out the colors first. Mixing a little bit of yellow in this to make a very light color yellow. You can directly use naples yellow over here also for painting the background. Try taking thick colors so that in one coat, the background coating is done. Again, I'm using my flat brush for painting this. Just painting this whole upper background. After that, once my base has dried, then I will add the sun part, the sun painting, and then I will remove the tape. So if you live in a humid area, the colors dry very fast, like my color has already dried. So just taking my round brush and a little bit of yellow and orange mix together, mixing a little more of yellow to make the color a little more opaque. When you mix two colors, the colors become quite opaque, especially when you mix yellow with something else colors. So just painting it, blocking this whole half circle which is there. And then after that, I will remove the tape. So once I've done this painting, I will just remove the tape which I have put between. So this tape actually gives a perfect straight line, as you can see. So now I will start doing the water part, which is using first Tallow blue, thalo blue first, and then as I will go down, I will start adding more and more white to it. So the first top base is the total just Tallow blue color. So try to make it as neat as possible, the line, especially the horizon line which is there. Now, once I have added this color, then I will use the mix of blue and little bit of white. And as I will go down, it will be more lighter color. So this is how I am going to paint it. So mixing little white and just painting it and also blending both the colors. So I have kept this bookmark quotation as the gratitude. So we should Always thank for what nature gives us. We should always feel blessed that what nature gives us, we should also give nature back in some form. So that's why I have kept this painting the code name as gratitude. So just covering it, making it a little more dark, the upper part. So very simple and easy to paint. Just you have to follow the instructions which I am giving and you can easily paint it. If you don't have how blue, you can use any blue whichever blue you have, and you can just paint this with blue colour. After that, we will be doing the foreground and then some waves, some reflections. Now for doing the foreground, I'm mixing black and orange and a little bit of white. So when you mix black and orange, it gives a nice brown color. You can directly use brown color also. That is also perfectly fine. But since I already have orange color, so I just thought of making orange and black mix to create a nice brown color. So you can see how nice brown color has come up. So you don't need each and every color. You can just mix and make different different types of colors just by mixing the colors. So just adding here the brown color, as you can see. After that, there are some sea waves which are coming. Then some upper shadow area of the sun is also there. So first, let's create the shadow part which is there on the above. Simple straight lines taking thick color. And with the tip of the brush, I'm adding these details. The lines are bigger on the top, and as it is going down, it is becoming small. So it's like a cone shape which is being formed. Now we will create some waves which are there. So let's create some waves first. Taking a little mix of so here my color has come up a little bit. That's why I'm just adding that light color over here. And then taking thick white colour, I will just add some nice wavy textures over the foreground area which is there. You have to add thick colors over here. Don't mix any water when you're adding these textures. After that, I will just add outline with a nice brown color, an outline. So this is it. So this is the whole painting. And after that, we'll draw the trees. These are not full trees, actually. These are palm trees which are actually just few of them, not the complete palm tree, the leaves are visible. So like that, we will be painting. So first, let me take out the tape. Oh. And after that, I'll start creating the leaves. As you can see, there are only two leaves visible. You can create two, three, as much as you want. Taking my rigor brush and mixing it with black, little blue. So I don't want this tree to be completely black colour. So that's why I'm mixing a little white, little blue and black as So with my rigor brush, making the color a little thin, starting from the white part, I will start creating the leaves till down. So these are very big, big leaves textures which I will be creating over here. It's very simple and easy to make. You just have to be careful that the color has to be a little fluid, then only that movement of the brush will take place. Otherwise, that movement of brush will not take place. So make sure that your color is fluid and you are using a nice rigor brush of size zero. Here I'm just creating two leaves. We almost done with this painting, and we'll just write the coat and this is it. So very simple and easy one it is. Anyone can try it out. So the whole painting is done, we have to write the coat with my gelpin with my white elpin, I'll start writing the coat below to the foreground area. If you are trying out this painting, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Moheni Art Gallery. I will love to share it. So we will meet in our next class. 23. Feel The Rythm: Come back. So let's start with a new bookmark painting. So here is first, we will be doing the sketch, and then we'll start with the painting. So feel the rhythm is the quotation over here which we will be writing. So first, I'm creating just the sea waves which are there, just some wavy lines. So five to six wavy lines, I will be drawing just a half of the bookmark and then sun on the top, and also the fish tail is there. So just the tail is reflecting and this fish is actually enjoying the rhythm of the waves. That's why I have given the name the feel the rhythm. So actually, the wave is feeling the rhythm, how the waves are moving. So, likewise, we should also feel the rhythm in our life. That how the life moves up and down like the waves of the sea. So just drawing a rough sketch, and then we'll start with painting. So we have mostly drawn the entire sketch. Now we will start with the painting. So let's first discuss about the colors which we will be needing. So it will go out the tail, so we'll do it later. So let's discuss about the colors. The colors which we will be using here is black, white, orange, Windsor blue, and Prussian blue. So these are the colors which we will be using so let's start from the top using my flat brush. I'm making this orange and white mix a very light orangy color. So taking more white and very less amount of orange in this and just mixing it together. Very light pastel shade color I'm trying to create. And then all the above background, I will be covering with this color only. Try to use thick color so that in one go only the background is done. You don't have to put the second goat. Water is only there on my brush, that's it. So you can see I'm just taking the thick color and I'm just applying on top of this whole sky part. Even if some colors go inside the tail, it's perfectly fine because we have to do it with black, so that will be covered. So now we will be doing the sun and the waves first. Taking my round brush of size six, taking Windsor blue, and directly first using this as color, directly the Windsor blue color. You can also mix a little bit of this Prussian blue as well. So as we will go above, there will be a transition from dark to light color. So like this, we will be moving upward, mixing a little bit of Prussian blue in this to make a different version of blue. So you can see how different the color is. You can just use one blue also if you want. No need to use both the blues. You can just use one blue and make it from the transition from dark to light. But I thought of changing the colors a little bit. So I have used both the colors and mixing both the colors to make a different version of blue itself. So as I'm going above, I'm just trying to make the colors a little bit more light. Each and every wave, there should be a difference between them. As you can see the waves which I have put here and here, they look quite similar. So try to make the lower one a little darker so that there will be a little difference between those two colors. So I'm just fixing it up a little bit. So just taking the colors and I'm just applying it over here to make a little darker version of this color. Now let's move on upward, taking a little bit of black mix in this windsor blue and just making this area a little bit more darker because I feel that this area is quite light because the lower part should be quite dark in color. Now, again, mixing a little white and moving upward. Likewise, we have to move the colors and make the transition from dark to light. Similarly, we will be moving upward. As we move upward, the colors will become lighter and lighter. So like this, you can use any blue, whichever blue you have, you can use it. You can use Windsor blue, you can use Kobal blue, you can use Prussian blue. You can use ultramarine, any blue, whichever blue you feel like you can use it over here. So as we are moving upward, you can see the colors are becoming lighter and lighter. Once we are done with all these filling, we will wait for the background to dry and then we will draw the tail of the fish. So now my background has dried. Now we can add the sun on the top, taking orange color and just creating a nice circle on the top. See how vibrant this cadmium orange is. Now taking my rigor brush, making this black color a little thin. And I'm just trying to first outline the sketch, and then I will fill it with black. Or the tail which is on the other side, it is more towards the white part also. We will do that later, but first, I'm just doing the part which is the other side. So for doing the other side, we have to remove the tape, and then only we can do the other side of the tail. Just removing the tape first. So now we can draw the other side of the tail as well, and then we can just paint it. Use your rigor brush or liner brush for just sketching it so that it is neat and clean. Once we are done with the tale, we'll just fill the color, and that's it. The whole painting is done. So you can see it's very sweet and within 12 minutes, you can just complete this painting, and it's very beautiful. You can gift it to your loved ones who love reading books. They actually love bookmarks, so you can gift them. And if you are trying this project, this painting, you can tag me on my Instagram that is Mohii Art Gallery. Now, we're done with the filling of the colors. Now we'll just write the quotation that is feel the rhythm. So using my gelpen I'm just writing it out. So finally done, now we will meet in the next class. 24. Own Your Dream: Welcome back. So let's start with the new bookmark. Own your dreams. This is the main quotation which I've kept here, creating a single mountain with two different shades, one dark shade and one light shade. One at the shadow area and one in the bright night sky. Just creating a round circle, and let's start with the upper part of the painting. So the colors which we will be using here is white, red, yellow ochre, and black. So these are the colors which we will be using. Let's start from the top. Using my flat brush. I've just wet my flat brush, taking black color, mixing a little bit of white in this. Not too much white, very little amount because I want the transition to be from dark to light and not too much light also because it is a night sky. So just first applying the dark color on the top. And as I will go down, the colors will be more lighter. Simultaneously, I will try to blend the colors as well. So slowly, I'm just filling the colors and I'm trying to blend the colors as well. So just filling out this whole entire thing, it's okay if the colors go inside the moon, also, it's perfectly fine. We will fix that. Once the background has dried, we can overdo with the white color. So just first, I am focusing on the blending of the colors. I want a transition to be from dark to light color. So that's why I'm just trying to blend the colors as well. So once my background is done, I'll start painting the mountain, which is below. One is at the shadow side and one is towards the bright side. That's why I've kept two colors. So just filling out these spaces first. Now, just filling it up the corners also so that the shape comes properly when we remove the tape. After that, I will mix the colors and we'll create a nice, dark, brownish color with red, black, and this yellow ochre. So first taking a little bit of white, mixing this white with black. And first, I'm just spraying up the entire, creating a nice starry effect. Whenever you are doing this spray thing, try to make the color a little fluid and then only try to spray it up. You can see I fully sprayed the entire thing above creating small tiny stars. This is a very simple and easy way to create stars. After that, we can create the we can colour this whole part with red, mixing red and white, little yellow, and then little black to make a nice brown color shade. It creates a very nice and beautiful brown color shades, if you will see here. You can directly use brown color as well. It's totally up to you. You want to mix it up or you want to directly use the color. So I'm just making a little darker brown, mixing a little more black into this, and then I'll just fill in the color on one side of the mountain. So just with my round brush, I'm just first outlining the shape, and then I will just fill the color with this same color. Try to use thick colour so that in one go, the entire filling is done. So just enjoy the process of filling off the colors. Now, other side, I will be using simply yellow ochre. No color mixing, nothing, yellow ocher on the other side of the mountain. So I've kept the quotation over here, own your dreams, and dreams means you own your dreams and shine like these beautiful stars. That's why I've created this quote and own your dream, whether you want to be in the darker side or you want to be in the brighter side. It's your choice because you have to own it. So that's why I've kept this name of the bookmark as own your dream. So just coloring the other side of the mountain. Very simple and very easy to paint. This whole bookmark is. You can choose any bookmark whichever you want and just take it and start painting. Each and every bookmark is unique. You will see more classes. I have tried to kept these bookmarks as simple as possible so that each and every person can try it out, even the big nurs who have never tried it out. Now I have just colored this entire thing. Now I'm just coloring the whole moon which is there on the backside first making the circle, and then I will fill it with white thick color. Try to use thick colour of white because the background itself is very dark. Do it very carefully leaving the mountain top You can also add little textures of gray in this whole moon part because the moon is never very totally white. It has a grayish texture in this. I'm just adding a little bit of grayish texture in this moon. Now taking my liner brush or you can say rigor brush, and I'm just outlining the whole mountain with white color. Make your color thin when you are doing this outlining part. This is it. The whole painting is done. We just have to write the quotation, and that's it. So just adding one more layer of white so that it becomes a little more bright and shiny. So this is the whole thing which is there, adding some white here and there. I'll also add a little bit of gray also in this. Um, So is it. We'll just write the codes and we are done with this painting. You can see within 12 minutes it's complete. So try it out. And if you're trying it out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. So using my gelpin I'm just writing it out. And let's remove the tape and see how it looks. I suppose some colors come outside your borderline, take just a little bit of white color or you can use your white gelpin just to remove those dots and things which have come out. This is a way you can just solve your problem. And this is it. See you in the next class. Mm hm. 25. Cherish Today: Welcome back. Let's start with a new bookmark. So in this bookmark, first, we will do the little outlining. As you can see, it's a tent, which is below. We will draw each and everything, and then we'll start with the painting. So first, the lower area is the area, which is the area of the foreground. I'm just creating a zigzag line over there. After that small mountains on top of it, there are two overlapping mountains which I will be creating over here. As you can see, and then the trees. After that, the whole sky. So one more I will just create so you can see there is one, two, and three overlapping mountains, and above is the sky. Tree we will directly draw with the colors. So these are the colors we will be needing. First color is violet, red, white, black, and lemon yellow. So let's start with the painting first. So we'll start from the top using my flat brush. It's a violet color which I'm using here as you can see. Just mixing white and violet first, making it a very light color. I don't want a very dark color to be there. So just creating a nice light, violety color. And we'll start first from the top. And as we will go down, the colors will change to mostly pinkish or orange, you can say. So here, the red which I'm using is the crimson red. You can use any red, whichever red you have, you can use that. So I've just covered half of it with this violet pastel shade of violet, you can say it's after that, I will mix white and this red color together. So taking red, white, and mixing both the colors, making again a pastel shade, a little bit of yellow to it, very light color of the orange pinkish shade I have created over here and trying to cover the area which is above the mountain. And after that, I'll try to blend both the colors. Washing off my brush, taking again a little bit more of colors, making it and trying to blend both the colors together. Now you can see my color which is above has dried. So I'm again taking that color and just mixing it with the color which is the lighter color. So this is how we do the mixing part. So again, taking the violet color first. Because here also mixing is not done. So I'm just trying to blend both the colors together so that there is no sharp lines in between. So this is it, the background. Then we will move towards the mountains which are there. So the mountain which are at the backside will be of lighter colors, and the more it will come towards the foreground, it will be dark. Here, the quotation which I have written here is cherished today. That means enjoy today. Don't worry about the future or the past, enjoy the moment where you are in. So this is the quotation of this bookmark which I have kept. So first I'm doing the background mountain, which is a very light violet color. Using my round brush, I'm just trying to blocken this up. Very simple and easy painting, it is. It looks very complicated, but it is not. It is very simple. If you will follow each and every step, you will get it. Now, the mountain, which is the second one is little more darker, so I'm making it more dark color. So making the above color a little more darker. So in this less of white I have used Using my round brush, I'm just trying to blocken this up. You can see two mountains are already done. Now comes the third one, which will be more darker than the other two. For the low mountain, I have taken quite a lot of this violet color. I'm not mixing any of these white and this. I'm just taking this violet color, and I'm trying to cover this up. So all the three mountains are done. Now we will do the one which is below that is completely dark color. Mixing black in this violet color and just covering the below part. I haven't drawn any of the hut or the tent over here. We will directly do it once I will do this blocking. Here, also, with my flat brush, I'm just trying to cover it this whole whole thing up. 26. Cherish Today Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start with the trees first. So with my rigor brush, I'm just making the color a little thin and just making a color a little fluid so that we can easily draw the trees, adding a little more black to this. And these here, which we have made a zigzag shape. The only we will add the trees, simple trees, making simple lines in a diagonal shape, some big, some small trees. Let me zoom in so that you can see it clearly. So simple trees I'm drawing over here, not much complicated. Simple pine trees are these, big, some small trees I have made over here, and simple diagonal lines I'm just trying to draw over here because it is a bookmark, we don't have so much space that we can do so much of things over here. So I'm just adding very close close these trees. So five to six trees I have just made in very close area, some big, some small, different sizes. So after making the trees, we will do the lower part also. But first, we will do the bigger trees as well. There are bigger trees which are there. Just adding little more colors, dark colors in the below area so that the lines are not visible. Now we will create some more bigger trees, which you can see on the sides, and I'm not keeping it in the center because I have to create that smoke area. So that's why I'm doing it on the sides, the trees one. So bigger trees, one is big and one is little smaller size. Now, this pine tree, I will draw it in a different way. It's just a little bit of dots and textures I'm adding over here to create some nice tree texture. So on both the sides, I will try to add these textures. Creating some area which is the mountain area and they're enjoying the camping thing. That's why I've kept the name here, the cherish today. So another three on the other side. For the sides, I've drawn the trees. Now I'm making a light violety color for making this tint which is there below. So very light color I'm just trying to make first and creating a shape of the Hut type shape it is first creating a triangle and then the rectangle lines. Just filling it with the same color. And the color which is the triangle part, I will fill it with the orange color. Small size tint it is. It's not very big. Taking this red colour and little white mix, and there's already a little yellow in that, so orange colored it is. So I just putting it inside, you can see all these detailings I'm using. Same brush, that is the rigor brush, adding more yellow to this, to make it more bright and a little bit more red, I'm adding to this to make it more vibrant and orange and creating the line below. Now taking again the same color and just creating some nice stick area which is there because this whole area there's a fire which is burning there. So I'm just creating the lines and then some smoke which is coming out, some fire which is coming out, little bit dots over there, little bit fires, which is coming, which is a little bit of lights below. And then the smoke which is coming out, we'll create with just white color. Using my round brush, making the color very thin, adding a little bit of violet also with my round brush, I will create a nice smoky texture going from down to above. Try to make the color transparent. Don't use thick color. Otherwise, this smoky effect will not come up. You can see how thin my color is. This is called as a glazing thing, which you can see the background of the color as well. This is the glazing effect which I'm creating over here. So this is the complete painting. I really enjoyed doing this painting. I hope you will also enjoy it, too. And if you're trying it out, do share me or tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. Now I will write the quotes below with my white gelpin All these bookmarks are very different and unique in their own way, and every bookmark has a small quotation in it. So I hope you will enjoy doing these small bookmarks. And within 15 minutes and 20 minutes, you can color all these bookmarks. You can take any one of your choice and you can just start painting it. So now let's remove the tape and see how it looks. So this is the complete painting. I hope you will also enjoy it and see you in the next class. 27. Stay Grounded: Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark. So first, we'll draw a rough sketch of the foreground, and then we'll start with the painting. So just simple foreground landscape. I'm just adding one on top of the other. Also, the background will be also in layers. So that's what here I'm thinking about. So the background will be of three colors. So now let's discuss about the colors which we will be using here. So the colors which we will be using here is the lemon yellow, black, lemon green, sap green, orange and white. So these are the colors. So let's start first with the foreground, starting with my round brush, the lower part. So the lower part which I'm using here will be the mix of lemon green and black mix. So two colors, I'm just mixing together, and I'm just filling up the below section. So the first layer is done. Now we will start doing the second layer. The second layer will be just sap green color. So in the second layer, I will be adding this lemon green and sap green mix, and the second layer, I'm just adding it. So I'm adding a little bit of lemon green to this sap green because the color is a little translucent. So when I mix some colors, especially the lighter value colors, the colors become a little opaque. So that's why I'm mixing that color. So now comes the above part, which is the simple sap green. And more of yellow and lemon yellow also. So as we will move up, the colors of green will change, starting from the darker color to the lighter color. So you can see it's a different shade of green. So now I will be adding a little more lighter green by taking this lemon green colour. Just adding a thick coat of it. So just adding a nice coat and a smooth finish to the painting. Now taking lemon yellow and lemon green mix and a little bit of white and adding the above layer. So these are the colors from darker transition to lighter one. Then comes the upper part, which is the sky part. So this one I will make a little bit more darker because I feel it is a little light. So I'm mixing sap green a little bit to this green, and then I will just apply this color over here because you can see there's a drastic change between both the colors, so I don't want that. So I'm just making it a little darker color. Applying a thick coat of this color. And this is it, the foreground. Then comes the sky, which is again of three colors, as you can see, Now, I've kept this bookmark quotation as stay grounded. So first, doing the upper part, taking this orange and white mix and applying on top. And then as we will go down, we will add more variations of warm colors. So the topic here is stay grounded means, the more you become, the more you get onto the positions high and high, you should always be grounded. You should always feel the gratitude and be thankful for it like the tree does. So now this is the little more darker orange color. So mixing a little bit of lemon yellow and just filling this up. Now, the center one, I will keep it lemon yellow only. Mixing a little bit of white and just filling it up. Our background part is almost done. Now we will create the trees and the sun, which is there and some of the grasses. First create the sun, which is with orange color. Bright orange color you can see over here. After that, we will be removing the tape, and then we will draw the tree, which you can see the tree branches are also on the white part. So let's first draw the main tree trunk with simple black and sap green mix color. So using my rig brush and making the color a little thin, I'm just first trying to make a straight vertical line. Simple tree it is very simple. So more sub brranches going towards the upside. So all are directed upward, as you can see. Creating some more sub branches and adding some leaves with the same brush. That is the rigor brush. I will remove the tape from one side because you can see the grasses and the tree branches and the sub branches are also there on the white part. So I've just taken out the tape only from one side, and let's create some more branches on the other side also. Now, some leaves with my round brush with round brush, it is a little easy to create leaves rather than using the rigor brush. Very simple and easy way to make trees. So after that, we'll add some grasses below as well. The grasses will be mostly lighter green color because the background is dark. You can see I've just added the leaves here. Now I'm just creating with my rigor brush some nice grasses, big grasses. So this is the whole painting. We'll just write the quotation and this is done. So whenever you're writing any quotations, make sure that your background is dry then only start writing with your gelpin. So this is my white gelpin which I'm using here and just writing the quotation. This is the entire painting. I hope you enjoyed doing this. And if you're trying it out to tag me on my Instagram, that is Mohii Art Gallery. And we'll just take out the tape and see how it looks. So this is it. So see you in the next class. 28. Today Is Your Day: Come back. So let's start with another bookmark. So today is your day, the bookmark coat. So first, we will just draw a rough sketch of the sea, which is on the upper side, and these are small newborn turtle babies which are moving towards the sea for the first time. So this is the whole image which we will be drawing. Very simple sketch it is. Just we have to draw some of the turtles which are moving towards the ocean. Simple shapes and circular and the oval shapes. I will be drawing three turtles. If you have space, you can draw three to four of them. You can see the second one I'm just putting his legs which are in the front so that it looks like it is walking. So here I only have space for three, so I will be just drawing three of them. Now, let's discuss about the colors which we will be kding. So the first color is Tallow blue, white, yellow ochre, and black. So these are the colors which we will be ing. Using my flat brush, I'll start first the ocean. So taking water on my brush, and first color which I will take is the Tallow blue a mix of white. Starting from the corner, I'm just using thalo blue color as I will move towards the ocean shore, it will be more of a lighter color. So like that, I will be moving. So a little bit of white I'm adding to this thalo blue and just covering this area, and slowly I will be moving towards the shore with a more lighter color, making this color a little bit more dark and also blending this color with my lighter color. So slowly, slowly, I'm just making the colors more light and light just by mixing white in this. Do it carefully and also blend the colors. Blending should always take place in between the dark and the light color which is there. As you can see, I've blended the dark and the light color. I'm adding a little more white towards the shore so as to make the color a little bit more light. You can see I've just blended the colors properly. After that, I will just paint the lower part with yellow ochre and white mix. You can use same brush or you can use the round brush also. It's totally up to you which brush you want to use. There's no compulsion with it. So I'm just covering it with simple yellow ochre and white mixed color. Even if you're using this lighter color, you can see the pencil marks below because these colors are light colour and a little bit of translucent color. So you can see the pencil marks which are below, so it will be easy for us to paint these all turtles. Now I will use my round brush because these are little curvy lines, so I will use my round brush and block in this part. Now, you can see we have blocked both the parts. Now I will create some nice ocean waves which are at the shore and some are below with just white color. Taking just thick white color, and I'm adding a little bit of thick lines, some wavy lines. So whenever you are creating these textures, try to use thick colors. So I will highlight this line with this black and blue mix. A little bit outline I will give to the outer edge of this s. A little bit more lines below. Also, I will add some of the sea waves which are coming from far with the same brush. The whole background which we have done? Now we will be doing the turtles. 29. Today Is Your Day Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start with painting of these turtles, which just black color. I'm using here my liner brush, and first, I will outline these turtles, and then I will fill the colors with black. So it's good if you outline it because when you will outline all these things, the colors will not come out and the shape will come properly. So just outlining it first. Try to use your rigor brush or the round brush of size zero for doing all these small turtles because these are very small in size and try not to use bigger size brushes. When you are doing this, use thick color so that you can paint it properly in one go. Now I'm outlining all these four legs which are there. Same way, we have to do all the two other turtles as well. Enjoy the process of filling the color and do it very carefully because the background color is very light. If any mistake of black will be there, it will be visible. So try to do it very carefully when you are painting this with black. I've kept the name of this bookmark that is today is your day because they are just newborn and they are just moving towards the sea and starting a new life. So that's why I have created this quotation as today is your day. So you can see in this one leg is going up, one leg is going down. So like this, it looks like that they are walking. So one more to go? So now we're almost done with the filling of this black color. Now I will take yellow ochre and black mix, and I will try to outline the outer area of this small turtle. This is actually the shadow which I'm trying to create with this color. So try to outline it from the outside. Use thin colour when you are outlining it. Don't use thick colour so that it looks like a shadow which is being formed. Oh So similarly, I will outline the other two turtles as well. And we create some of the area, which is the area like the pathway it's following, some imprints which are there of this turtle. So that I'm creating on the back side with the same color. Similarly, I will be doing for the other two as well. This painting looks very beautiful and it's very easy. Anyone can try it out, and you just have to follow each and every step, and you will be able to do it. Even bigners can try it out. Very bigner friendly. These all bookmarks are I'm not keeping it much complicated so that each and every one of you can try it out. And if you are trying out these paintings, these bookmarks do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. So we are almost done with this painting, and we'll just write the quotation below, and then we'll take out the tape and see how it looks. Now, the quotation which I will write here is with black pen. So taking my black technical pen, and I'll just write the quotation. So this is it, and we will just remove the tape and see how it looks. So this is the complete painting, and thank you for watching. We'll meet in the next class. 30. Choose Right Path: Welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. So let's first do the sketching and then we'll start with the painting. So this is a painting about choosing the right path. So accordingly, we will be drawing the bookmark. Very simple and basic drawing it is just a pathway and some mountains behind and the sun. Mountains I have created in a wavy texture. Very simple sketching these are. We just we'll do the sketching and let's talk about the colors which we will be needing for doing this painting. The colors are black, turquoise, Tallow, lemon yellow, red and white. These are the colors which we will be needing. Using flat brrush, let's start with first color that is the thalo turquoise, and mixing this with white, making it a nice, bluish, greenish color. If you don't have Taloturquois, you can use any color like Tallow blue or cobalt blue, and just mix a little bit of yellow in that. This color will be formed. Or you can directly use simply cobalt blue also. No need to mix it. It all depends upon how you want to paint your bookmark. So just mixing a little more of this color, and I'll fill this whole background first. So after filling this background, we will be doing the pathway which is there. So now we will be doing the pathway. I'm just repeating the second quote of it because I felt this color is little thin. So I'm just repeating the second quarter of it. I have removed that sun drawing because this color was not very thick, so I have done second quarter of it. And let's do the pathway which is there, taking same colour, mixing a little bit of this red and little black. So when you will mix all these colors, a different color will be formed as you can see. So just making a different color, which is a grayish touch to it. And I'll just first fill the path which is on both the sides, some grayish color. So both the sides which are the parts, I'm just coloring it with my round brush. You can use here flat brush also. I totally depends upon your comfort, which brush you want to use. The middle part will be more blackish grayish color, which I will make a little more darker. You see, I've just mixed black and white in this and a little bit more black because I want the middle roadways to be a little darker compared to the side pathways, using my flat brush and trying to first make the outline and then I will fill the colors. See how dark the color is. Do as neatly as possible because here the painting is very simple. It all depends upon how neat you are painting this. Filling the center part. To that we will be doing the mountains. 31. Choose Right Path Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start further. So first, we will be painting the Back Mountain with my round brush using this lemon yellow, just filling it with lemon yellow colour. Try to do it very carefully and make sure that your background has dried. Try using a smaller round brush and try to fill it up because the size of this mark, you can see, it's very small almost 2 ". So you have to be very careful when you are painting this. Now I'm making a nice color of orange. So just mixing both the colors that is yellow and red, the two primary colors and making a secondary color, just making orange the mountain which is the second one. And the last one will be a little darker one. After doing the second one, we will be doing the last mountain with a very dark color. So we'll mix red and black and we'll make a certain dark, brownish color to it. Just filling the last one with a more darker color, making it a little more darker and filling the last mountain. Now, let's do one more at on the sides because I feel that color is a little lighter in shade. So I'm just making it a little more darker by mixing all the colors, and you can see how gray colour is being formed here. A different type of gray it is. So when you mix all these colors, a different type of gray comes. Adding one more coat of it to make the painting look more smooth. I have kept the name of this bookmark as choose right path. Like we should when we are traveling, we should choose the right path. It's simply with life also that we should choose the correct part, not the shortcuts. Otherwise, we'll end up missing our life. So it's related to something like that. So just filling that up. Also, if you want, you can add one more coat in the center part because when you add two coats, the color become a little opaque and if the finish of the painting looks much better. Now, let's do the sun, which is in orange in color. In this, we'll make a light orange color and we'll try to paint the sun which is there above. When you are using on top of blue, try to add at least two coats of it so that the color becomes thick and opaque and that orange color is more visible. Now the thing, the nice leaves which I will be adding over here, the palm leaves which are not full tree is just the leaves are visible. So those leaves also, I will be adding with white color. And these pathways with gelpin, I will just create a straight line. You can also do it with your white color, or you can do it directly with the gelpin if you have. Just outlining these mountains first. Remember, whenever you are outlining with gelpin, make sure that the base of the color has dried. Now, this white outline makes the painting more vibrant. Also outlining these pathways. All these outlines you can also do with the white color and using your rigor brush. It's totally up to you how you want to do it. So I thought of doing with this, and there are the white marks which are in the center. That's what I'm trying to create here. Some thick lines which are rectangle lines. These are very small, small details which make the entire painting look more beautiful. Very simple and easy to follow. Anyone can do it. Even the beginners who have never tried out their acrylic paints. They can also do such type of painting. Drawing the line at the horizon. Now we'll take the round brush, and I'll just make one more coat on this sun which is there just to make it a little more glowing. Now, taking my rigor brush, I will make some leaves which are on the top. Now, whenever you are making thin lines or anything, try to make the colors little fluid so that it is more easy to do it and you can create thin lines. If you will use thick colors, you'll not be able to create thin lines. Very thin lines and wavy lines of the leaves are these. Just enjoy the process of doing this. Every day within like ten to 20 minutes you can complete these paintings. Just take one of your favorite bookmarks or your favorite ates and try to paint it. And it's very easy and very bigna friendly. Anyone can try it out. We are almost done with this painting, the quotation is there. So you have to decide where you want to write it. I will write it in the gray area which is there with my white gelpin. So just writing the quotes, choose your right path or choose right path. Anything you can write it out. After that, I will just take out the tape and we'll see how the painting looks. So anyone can try it out. And if you are trying it to share me or tag me on my Instagram, that is Moheni Art Gallery. So just removing the masking tape. So this is the complete painting we will meet in our next class. Thank you for watching. 32. Life Is A Journey: Hello, friends. Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark. So this bookmark is about life is a journey. So first, let's draw a sketch. You can also use the masking tape in between instead of drawing the line. This will create a nice crisp line. So just keeping it in the center. After that, rest of the things we will directly draw. So there are two mountains, overlapping mountains which you can see, and there is a sun, which is just joining that mountain. And after that, there is a boat below, which is also overlapping the mountains. So boat we can draw either after the painting or we can just draw a little rough sketch if you want. So because when we will fill the coloring, it might be the chance that the pencil marks will be gone. So you can draw it. But let's see, simple drawing it is of the boat. So rest of the lines we can draw directly. So let's start first with the painting, and let's discuss about the colors which we will be needing here. So the first color is black, orange, lemon yellow, white, prussian blue, and teal. So these are the colors which we will be needing for doing this painting. It's a very vibrant and lively painting, as you can see. So first, I'm using orange with my flat brush. Water is already there on my brush, so I'm directly grabbing the colors, and I'm just applying first this thick, permanent orange. So if you will use thick colour, in one go only this painting will be done. So try to use thick colour when you are blocking the background, especially. So just taking thick colour of orange. And after that, I will add little yellow and mix it with orange. This will make this orange a little lighter orange. And as I will go down, I'll make it more yellowish. So I'll just wash off my brush, and then I'll grab this lemon yellow color. And first, I will do the bottom, and then slowly I will blend it with my orange color. So I want that yellow to be there. I don't want it to turn into orange. That's why I'm pushing the yellow color towards the orange side. Try to blend it nicely so that there are no sharp lines in between orange and yellow. After blending, we will now do the lower part, which is the mountain part, and then after that, we will create the sun. Currently, my focus is on the blending part because the more you will blend the colors, the more it will look nicer. Sometimes with just damp brush, also, you can just blend the whole thing if your color is wet. I'm taking my round brush and mixing a little yellow and more amount of white and creating the sun which is there around half circle, which is on the top of the mountain. So I'm just filling a thick colour. So very simple painting it is. It is not at all complicated. You just have to follow each and every step, whatever I'm doing, and it will be done. It's very big nerve friendly. Anyone can try it out. So just try to fill in the colors nicely. Take thick colors when you are blocking in. Now we will do the lower part, which is the mountain part. So behind mountain will be light and the front mountain will be dark. So I'm just taking Prussian blue and a little bit of black mix, and I'll do the first, the mountain, which is in the front one. So this is the darker one. Just filling it with the same round brush. Now, let's do the lighter mountain, mixing this Prussian blue, black and white mix, and you'll get a nice light color You can see the two mountains are done. Now we will just remove the tape and then we'll start painting the lower part. If you're using thick colour, then you can remove the tape, even the paint is wet. Now let's do the water part which is there, mixing this teal, then little white and blue and black. So I'm just making the color a little more bluish, light bluish color. So the top will be this color, which is a mix of all the three colors. Just making a nice thick coat on this. After that, as we will go down, it will be more towards the teal side. Just taking teal color and trying to blend it with this dark blue color. So you can see how nicely this teal color is blending with this color. As we are going down, we'll add more and more teal. You can see how bright and beautiful this whole water part is looking because of the steel color. If you don't have teal color, you can use, like cobal blue and mix a little bit of yellow in that, you will get a nice steel colour. Also, a little bit of white because it is a little lighter color. So just adding a nice coat of this little bit of wavy lines also we will add in between. So once we are done with the proper blocking of the colors, I will just wash off my brush and take this nice blue color which we have mixed earlier, and we'll start creating some nice lines, some nice waves which are there, very light. Now my color is already wet. I'm applying it on the wet, so it is mixing with this teal also. That's why the colors are very light. Trying to add a little bit more of the lighter color and trying to blend this darker one. Wound y clines. 33. Life Is A Journey Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start further, taking white color and a little bit of yellow and making the line just below the sun, which is there. This is the reflection of the sun which is falling. After creating this, we will then create the boat, which is there. So taking just black color, and I'll just first take my round brush, and I can see a little bit of line in there. So even if you cannot see the line, you can draw it with pencil. But remember, you cannot rub anything when you are doing it with pencil. Either you do with the watercolor pencils or chalk pencils you can use for drawing it on the acrylic paint surface. So I'm just creating a small boat which is there and with a nice curvy boat. Just creating a nice curve with my round brush. To that a straight line. Now, whenever you are creating any straight line, you can use the masking tape also. If you're not comfortable directly doing with your free hand, you can use your masking tape, put a straight line there, and then put the line above. So that will create a nice straight line. Or if you are okay with it, you can use your rigor brush and directly create the straight line with your free hand. It's totally your choice, how you want to create it. Just create a nice little bit thick line. It's not very thin. And then the flaps which are there on the board. So just creating the lines first, and then I will just fill in it with black colour. Make sure that the lines which are the yellowish lines below, the boat, you have to do it first. Otherwise, you'll not be able to do it once you are done with this boat, because half of the areas will be covered with that boat only. Just filling this with thick coat of black. You can use a smaller size brush of size zero round brush or the rigor brush to just paint this out because any mistakes if you do, this is a dark color. You cannot cover it up. You have to redo the background again. Now let's add a little reflections which are there below. These are just lines which I will create. I'm just creating a nice straight line below. Try to take thin color when you are creating any lines. Don't use thick colors. H. Just simple lines are these. So we are done with this board part. Now we will do the tree part. So first, we'll create the lines. Again, whenever you are creating any lines, try to make your color very fluid and then only try to create the nice thin lines. So I will be creating many lines, some of them are overlapping. So as the coat suggest, life is a journey. Here I have shown the boat that is sailing and it's like a journey, which is someone is onto it. So similarly, our life is also like a journey. So we should enjoy each and every moment. So now I've just made it upside down, and then I will create the leaves. This will help me to draw the leaves in a downward direction in a very easy way. So again, using the same brush, liner brush, and creating small small leaves, as you can see, eaves you can also create with your round brush of size zero oh one. Just creating very small, small leaves which are very close to each other. Because we have to make it like filled with small small leaves. That's why I'm creating one by one. It's a little time consuming process, but the effect is very beautiful. So just enjoy the process of doing this. Don't do it in a hurry. Take your time and relax and then do it. You can see one by one, I'm just filling these stems. Once we are done with this, we are done with the painting. We just have to write the codes. Always make sure whenever you are creating any lines, any texture, make your color a little fluid and then do it for better result. Now I will rotate it, and then you can see these leaves are in downward direction. The easiest way to create the leaves, just rotate it upside down and then create the leaves. Now, we'll just write the quote, which is life is a journey with my white gelpin So I hope you enjoyed doing this and watching this beautiful bookmark. So try it out and you can tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to share it. So this is it. I'm just taking out the tape and you'll see how it looks. So this is the whole painting. I hope you enjoyed doing this and watching this, and thank you for joining my class, and we'll meet in the next class. 34. Life Is Like A Mountain: Welcome back. Let's start with a new bookmark. The bookmark which we will be painting is life is like a mountain. This is the quotation which I have put over here. Let's first draw the structure. First, the line, which is a little below then the center. And straight line. After that, two, three overlapping mountains, we will create the valleys which you can see. These are some small trees which are there. After that, there are overlapping three valleys, or you can say mountains, and there is one big mountain on the top. Just some overlapping mountains and one bigger one behind the mountain is the sun and some trees we will create later on, but just the lines we can create it. Very rough sketch I'm drawing. After that, we'll do directly with colors. The waves and everything we will be doing directly with the colors itself. Now comes the line, which is the tree line on the top. So this is it. This is the complete drawing. Now let's start with the colors which we will be needing for this complete painting. Simple branches I am just adding out and this is it. The colors which we will be using here are the colors. First color is the turquoise halo which you can see on the first upper side, that is the turquoishalo. Then which I will be mixing it with little amount of black and white, and I'm making a nice bluish and greenish color. If you don't have this turquoise hallow, you can directly use an eco bolt blue and add some amount of green to it. This will create a nice bluish green texture and a little bit white also you can add because here also we are adding some amount of white as I'm going down, I'm making the color more lighter and lighter. This is how I'm going to do this entire water area. Simple brush moving in horizontal direction and just blocking it with this color. I haven't made much difference in the colors, as you can see. Now I'm adding some lines which will be there. Taking, again, a mix of white, black, and the turquoise, making the color a little more darker and a little more lighter. You can add one more coat of it if you want, or you can leave it. If you feel that there are lots of brush marks, then you can definitely add one more coat of it to make it more smooth. Now, you can see I've added two codes. Now I'm just making the lines of the waves. Just I'm creating first simple lines and then I will make it a little more darker. Just adding some more wavy lines. Now using my rigor brush, just making the color a little more darker with this rigor brush, I will try to create some more lines. Just adding a little bit of red also to it. So this is a kind of color which is more towards the bluish, reddish, like grayish side. So just filling it with this color using my rigor brush because it's a very small area. If I'll use a bigger size brush, there are chances that colors will come out of the line, which I don't want. So that's why I'm doing it very carefully and also making the color a little lighter and trying to blend it. Now I'm using my smaller size round brush to blend these two colors together. So as you can see, the top part is dark and the lower part is little light. It's fine if the colors are going inside that tree part also because we will be using darker color so we can overlap that thing. Now let's do the upper one, which is more light. I'll make a little more lighter in color. Again, the top one, it will be a little more darker. Two are dark and the mid one is light so that you can see the three overlapping mountains. Now these three overlapping mountains are done. Now let's do the mountain part, making it a little more dark because the mountain is the darkest, so we want a very dark color. But before doing this mountain, we should first, I think, do the background because when we do the background, the colors might go inside the background as well. So we'll wait for the mountain. First, we'll do the background and then we'll go for the mountains. Let's again take first black color and let's do the trees which are on the horizon line. Very simple up and down exact lines are these? I haven't created much details in this because this is a type of Bobo style, so you don't have to create too much details in this. Now, let's do the sky part. The sky part you can see a grayish, very light grayish color which I'm trying to create. I'm just mixing a little white in this, and I'm just covering the upper part. Try to make the color as light as possible. The value you can see, it's very light color. So try to make it as light as possible. Even if the colors go inside the mountain, it's fine. Just try not to take the color inside that sun part because it will entirely change the color if that goes inside it because we have to use a warm color there. Just covering the sky part with very light grayish, greenish bluish color. Now, let's paint the mountain. So just taking more of this thalo turquoise as it has finished. So again, taking this black and thalo turquoise mix a little bit of white and doing this bigger mountain. So So the upper mountain is the darkest, so don't try to add too much white in that. After that, we will do that sun part which is there. There is also a white snow area which is on the top. Now, taking red and a little bit of yellow color, making it a nice, rich orangy colour, very dark orange color or like a tomato colour and just covering that above circle. Do it very carefully when you're doing this because there's a white part of the mountain as well there. 35. Life Is Like A Mountain Final Details: Welcome back. Let's start with the painting further. Just making this orange red color a little more just a little bit more smooth, just by adding a few lines and colors here and there where it is missing. After that, we will be doing the part which is the white part, you can see in the center. This we will be covering with just thick white color. Just taking my rigor brush and taking thick white color, I'm just trying to cover this part, making the shape also proper and covering this with white color. Now, let's add the tree line which is there, the branches which are coming from above, small branches which are there and some more sub branches and small small white flowers we will be adding in this. So just some small branches, and after that, we will be creating some nice white flowers. I will be using your gelpin, but before using the gelpin let's do the first this part, the lower part which is left, the water part, adding a little bit more waves with dark color using my round brush and just creating some nice wavy lines. Also adding some more of the thicker lines as you can see. Now, adding the line, which is the horizon line with white color. Also some flowers which are on the top, just round circles and some dots in a dot form. Simple small, small dots and adding. After that, some birds also you can show on the sides. Just taking again this black color and making some more small small leaves here and there. Now let's take again the same color which was the background color of the sea and let's start adding more waves to it because we need a little bit more waves and little thicker waves. First, adding a little more lighter color. You can see I'm just filling the color inside this and I will then blend it with the dark color. This is how we actually do the waves. We have to do simultaneously first the dark color, then light color, and then we can blend it. Or you can leave it like this because this is the bo painting. Just adding some of the lines. It's a bit confusing and a tricky thing. If you're not able to do it, you can just leave it and just make some wavy lines with different colors of blue that also you can do. You can see now I'm adding the lighter color. Again, just taking the dark color and just overlapping with this. Since my lighter color is wet, so it is easy for me to blend with this lighter color. You can see now the effect is coming out. Now this is done. I'll create some birds on the top and then we are done with it and just write the codes. Here the quote is, life is like a mountain, doesn't mean that it is a burden. It means there are lots of ups and downs when we go into the height. Sometimes we go down, then again, we go up, it's like that life is always sometimes up and sometimes down. We should enjoy each and every moment of it. Writing here the quotation and we'll just take out the tape and we are done with it. If you're enjoying this series to share your project works, you can tag me on my Instagram that is Moheni Art Gallery. I would love to reshare it. Let's take out the tape and see how it look we will meet in our next class. 36. Stand Still: Welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. So it's a very simple yet beautiful bookmark, which has a coat that is stand still. So let's first draw some curvy lines, which is the foreground and the background. And the mid center is the tree. You can create any tree, whichever tree you want. Here I have created pine tree. So some wavy lines for the foreground. There are three lines and some lines curvy lines for the background. So like this, I have divided the section. So first, we'll start with this much drawing is needed. Let's talk about the colors now. The colors here we will be using is the yellow, red, white, turquoise, hallow and black. So yellow is lemon yellow. So let's start with the paintings, taking the black color first, just covering the black color for the below part. Now, this time, I am mostly using the round brush for filling the colors and creating a nice curvy lines because when you are doing it with round brush, it gives a nice round shape to it. In this entire painting, I'm mostly using two to three brushes. If you have seen my bookmark painting. Only I'm using like two or three brushes. Apart from that, some gelpins, that's it. So just covering the above part now, taking this hallow turquoise and just covering the above part. So the first foreground is black, then turquoishlow, then there will be a mix of white to it. Try to do it as neatly as possible because it's a very simple painting. It's only required is the neatness. Now adding this white color to this taloturquoise and painting the above one. Try to make it a little more light. And when you are covering this part, do it very slowly and patiently. A so you can see how nice the curves have come. Now, let's do the background. Taking lemon yellow. Wash off your brush nicely. Otherwise, this lemon yellow will turn into green by mixing this with tallow turquoise. So taking lemon yellow and a little bit of white and little bit of red and making a light lemon orange color. So let's start with the painting. Okay, let's do first to top because the lower part is a little wet. So first, I'm doing the upper part, which is more orangy like a tomato color. So just adding more red to it and covering first the above part. Use thick colour. If you will use thick colour, I think in one go, your painting will be complete. But if you will use a thin colour, you have to do at least one more quote on this. Now you can see I've kept the name of this painting as stand still. So the tree is standing still irrespective of whatever is the atmosphere, whether it is raining, whether it is hot, whether it is humid. Like that, we should learn from the trees to stand still, even in any difficulties. So there are so many things we can learn from nature itself. So try to observe the nature and see how they are behaving and how they are standing still in such extreme condition. So just making the little orange, little more lighter towards the yellowish side. So I've added a little more yellow to this. Just covering the middle part first. After that comes the last part which has more yellow in that. A so you can see when you will use thick colors only in one coat, the painting looks perfect. So basically, our background painting is done, few parts are left. That is the tree and some birds, and then we are done with this painting. So you can see this whole background is done. 37. Stand Still Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start with the tree now. Here we will be using our rigor brush, making the color a little fluid, and I'll start making the tree directly. Just try to make the color a little fluid and use your smaller size brush size zero or size one to create this tree, and don't forget to make this color very thin. It should not be thick color. Otherwise, you will not be able to create the trees. I'm just first outlining all these areas, the foreground part with my black color first, and then I will create the tree directly. Now, let's start creating the tree. Now, the tree which I will create, it will be mostly in the center part, which is the yellow orange area which is there. So just creating the textures. Small small textures I'm adding. Let me zoom in a little so that you can see it more clearly. So you can see how the textures are being formed. So very small small textures are these. So try to make it as a small as possible, random textures I'm creating and as I am going down, I'm just making it look more like a conical shape. You can see as I'm going down, it is becoming bigger and bigger. So this is how we have to create the trees. Just one tree I'm adding here. And then comes the birds, which are on the top, very simple birds like a section. So just like a V, I have just drawn a simple bird. I haven't created any complicated one. So this is the entire painting. I'll just outline these above part also with white color. And I'll write on the black part that at that is stand still. This is my gelpin which I have written. Also with my gelpin, I will just outline the above background area also. So this completes our painting. So we'll just take out the tape and see how it looks. So very simple and easy to make. Anyone can try it out. If you're trying this painting out, do tag me or you can share your project work and tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohii Art Gallery. Now, here you can see, I did some colors came out when I was removing the tape. Soave just used the same color and I'm just coloring the same color, and I'm just fixing it. So this is how you can fix your things. So whenever you are taking the tape out, do it very slowly because these are papers and try to take it out at an angle, and very slowly, you have to take it out. So this is the complete painting, so we'll meet in the next class. 38. Never Quit: Friends, welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. So this time, it is the coat that is never quit. So let's first start with the drawing, creating a horizontal line in the center, and there are a few overlapping mountains on the top. There are a different type of mountains. You can see it's more of a curvy shape. So just two to three overlapping mountains we will create. Then there is a boat and the sun. So simple drawing, not much to do. Then the boat, which will be below, and also the reflection. This is the reflection of the mountain, and there will be reflection of the boat as well. So once we are done with the drawing, then we will discuss about the colors. So this is the reflection of the boat which I'm creating. Now, let's talk about the colors which we will be using here. The first color is the thalo turquoise, red, black and white. So these four colors we will be using for this entire painting. So first, starting with the background. So taking lots of white and mixing a little bit of red to make it a pinkish color. So very light pinkish color. And I'm just trying to cover this whole up area, which is the background sky with a thick color. Here I'm using my round brush only. You can use your flat brush also if you want. Covering the above sky. Now once we are done with the sky, then comes the lower part, which is the mountain. So the mountain first I'm taking this turquoise hallow and mixing it with little amount of white. First doing the back mountain which is there, first outlining it, and then I will slowly fill the colors. Just making the color a little more light. And slowly, slowly, I'm just covering it, taking just white color and putting below. And then I will blend both the colors. Wash off your brush, remove excess of water, and just with your damp brush, you can just blend these two colors together in a vertical direction. It's a very simple way of doing blending. So now we will do the other mountains. There also blending is required for the second layer of mountain which is there. So first applying the dark color Then after that, we will blend this with the lighter color. So I'm just taking white and I'm trying to blend it with this dark color because already that color is there on my brush, so it can easily mix with that color and make a lighter colour. Now with just damp brush, I'm just trying to blend it, taking a little bit more of this dark colour and slowly try to blend it. Similarly, the blending, I will be doing the other side as well. So till then you are satisfied with the blending, try to blend it because this is half dark color and half of light color. And this both should blend means the line which is dividing the two color, it should be a blurry line. I should not be a sharp line. So just taking the lighter color and blending it with the darker one. Now, once this blending is done, we will do the mountain which is at the horizon. This is a dark color. We don't need any blending in that taking little bit of black and mixing it with the tallo turquoise and just covering this one, which is on the sides. In this no blending is required. Just create the horizon line and just block in the colors. So you can see how beautiful and glowing these mountains are looking. Now let's do the part which is the side part. The side part is actually dark in color, as you can see. So I'm just taking the same color and just painting it with the darker color. So both the sides, it is dark color. And the center part is more little lighter than the one which is on the sides. I'm just mixing white and covering this entire area, which is the water part. I'm not colouring the board, so that part I have left. Also leaving that reflections. I'm just covering it carefully. Mostly it is the same color and a little bit darker below. Or you can just put the same color. So you can see the blocking is done. Now we will create some details in the water part. Mm. 39. Never Quit Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start further. So now we will be doing a little bit of detailings first. Let's take first red color and make a bright sun on the top. Just adding a nice red, bright color on the top. I'm using my same round brush over here, just making it proper round shape and filling thick color. So try to make it perfect round shape so that it looks more neat and beautiful. Okay, so now we will do the boat part. The boat which we will be doing is with my rigger brush. So I'm just taking first red color, and first, I will just outline the boat, and then I will fill this red color over there. So try to do it very carefully. Use your smallest size brush here, that's why I'm using your rigger brush so that there are less chances of colors coming out of the line. So do it very carefully when you are blocking this up because it's a very small boat. Oh and use thick color so that in one go, you can just do the blocking of the boot. Now taking this black color with a mix of red and just doing the upper part, just filling this upper part. Also, I will do the lower part, and we'll do some shadow part also. You can see the shadow part is mostly red in color. So let's first just put the proper shape of the boat. Now I'm taking my flat brush and creating these textures using my dry brush and thick colour. With the tip of my brush, I'm just filling color, the red color over the shadow area. Also, I will be adding some whites in between. Just use the tip of the brush and you are good to go with this shadow part. It's very easy when you use flat brush. Now we will be taking this turquoise color and we'll create some more shadow effect on the above part, which is the shadow of the mountain, creating some lines on the sides of the shadow part. So you can see. So the coat which I have written over here is never quit, like the boat, even if in the stormy season or something, the boat, the people who are traveling in this boat never quit and they fight. So like that, also in life, we should never quit ourself. Even if we fail, we should always keep on doing and doing. Similarly, I'm just adding some of the lines below with my same brush, that is the flat brush. Just to show the ripples of water. And let's draw some lines on the boat as well with my rigor brush, making the color a little thin, and I'll just draw some lines below the shadow as well, and on the boat also. So these white lines enhance the beauty of this boat. So we're almost done with this painting. We just have to write the coat and we are good to go. Just writing with my gelpin so this is the complete bookmark painting. Let's take out the tape and see how it looks. I hope you also enjoyed doing this like me. So if you're doing it, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Moheni Art Gallery. See you in the next class. 40. Shine Like A Diamond: Hello, friends. Welcome back. So let's start with another bookmark. We'll draw a little rough sketch, and then we'll start with the painting. So I've just taped down the entire sheet. Now, let's start with the drawing. So simple drawing it is some lines. Now, this is the foreground which I'm adding over here. Then above, there are three mountains. So two is overlapping and one is separate mountain. So like that, I have created the mountain. So the overlapping mountains and above this are the overlapping mountains. There is a little path which has the water area as well in between the mountain. And these two are the overlapping mountains and the moon which is on the top. It is the half moon. So I will be using this round or masking tape to create the nice half circle moon. You can use any round shaped thing and you can create it like this. Just making it a little pointed. Now we are almost done with the drawing. Now let's talk about the colors. First color is Windsor blue, black, yellow walker, teal, white and red. So first, we'll start with the top part, which is the sky part. So as the sky is very dark, so I'm just adding windsor blue and little black mix, and I will just cover the above area with my round brush. Because this is a night sky, so I want the sky to be very dark. That's why I've created a very dark bluish color. If you don't have windsor blue, you can use Christian blue also for creating a dark background of the sky. Just filling it with my round brush. Leaving that moon, just doing it carefully. We almost done with the sky part. Now we will add some sprinkles also on the top part with my flat brush. And because we have to do it earlier, then only we'll start painting the rest of the things. Otherwise, the colors and everything will fall on that part. So first, let's take a very light color of the you can see this is the water part which I'm adding here with teal color. So just taking the teal color directly and just adding some more colors in this making the upper part a little bit more darker and just filling the colors. As we will go down, it will be a little lighter. So I've just covered it with one coat as you can see. You can use here, your flat brush, round brush, any brush, whichever brush you want, you can use it over here for filling it. Also a little bit area of water is above so that also I'm filling it with teal color. Now, let's fill the below part, adding a little bit of yellow ocher to this color to make it green. So I'm not separately using any green. I just mixed the colours and made green with it, and I'm directly using this mix of colours. Very nice green colour is formed. And here also, I will add a little lighter green by adding white, and I'll blend both the colors together. So now we will do the mountain part. Let's do the mountain part also taking first white color and a little bit of black mix. And it's basically a very light color it is, so I don't want it to be very dark, so it is like a grayish color. So doing it very carefully. Now, once we are done with the above one, we will do the next two. The next two is a bit of more the red and orange side. But first, let's add the stars here, just taking the white colour, making it very thin, and I will just sprinkle some stars on the top before painting the other one because the colors will fall on them. So just adding sprinkling some dots on top of it. Thin down the color and then you do it. Don't use thick colour. Others wise, thick patches will be created. So try to thin down the color and then create these sprinkles. Now we will do the rest of the two mountains which are left. 41. Shine Like A Diamond Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start with the rest of the mountains. So the second one, I'm just doing it with red colour. Simple red color blocking, thick blocking you have to do. Now the last mountain, which is left, we will just mix some of the colors and make some brown color using yellow ochre, orange, and you can see how the color has been formed. It is like a brownish color which is being formed when you mix this yellow ochre and red color together. Just try to do it carefully so that it is not going outside the boundary line. So we're almost done with de blocking the part which is the above part, it is left, and we are done with it. Now, let's do the part which is there on the above, adding some more this red colour. You can always do second layer of blocking if you want. Now, just adding some white to this part, the moon part. You can see the quotation of this is like shine like a diamond, like how the moon shines like a diamond in between so many stars. So we should learn something from the moon, even if it is dark, even there are so many stars that one moon is catching attention of all of us. So there are so many things to learn with nature itself, you can see, adding thick color of white on this spot. Now we are done with the above part. Now we will create some leaves which are there you can see, little bit of area if you missed it out. If the shape has not come up properly, you can just fix it with this color of the background color which you have used. Now, let's take the mix of blue and black and make a color a little fluid when you are creating any tree line or any leaves. Just adding a nice line from top to bottom. You can see I'm not taking the leaves on the darker part. I'm only keeping the leaves where there are bright sections. So try to keep it on those areas only. So just add taking my, again, the round brush and just creating some nice leaves with one stroke like we did, I think in our first or second bookmark painting, which we did, it is similar to this, but a little different. So just adding some nice leafy textures on both the sides, All the leaves are in a diagonal position and moving it in the upward direction. If you're not comfortable doing it directly, then you can just draw the leaves and then paint it. Both the ways you can do, you just draw it and then first then fill the colors. It's totally up to you how you want to fill it. So just enjoy the process. So we have almost done so many bookmarks. You can try any bookmark, anyone, whichever you feel like that is any quotation which you feel like it's good for you. Just draw it. Within like 15 to 20 minutes, you can draw one bookmark. It's that simple. Even the bigners who have never tried painting, they can try it out these beautiful bookmarks. I'm sure they will enjoy it. So just adding few more leaves and then the quotations, and then we are done with this painting. So if you're trying this painting out, do tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare. So just adding one more last leaf and we are done with the painting. So now let's add the quotation. So you can see I've already taken out the masking tape. I will just write the quotation and we are done with it. So I'm writing the quotation on the black part. So we're almost done with this painting, and we'll meet in our next class. 42. Time Is Precious: Welcome back. So let's start with a new painting. So this is a desert pattern thing, which we will be creating some sand dunes and some balloons on the top of it, some air balloons. So I'm just drawing a simple sketch. So just making some desert patterns. So three to four overlapping sand dunes I'm trying to create over here. And also, there will be a one big air balloon on the top. For that, I will use a circular thing. I can use my masking tape, which is a smaller size, and I'll put it on the top, and I'll create the half circle first. This will create a nice round circular top, and then I'll just extend it like a conical shape and we'll join the line. Very simple and easy to sketch. Also, there are some more lines within this circular balloon. Also one basket sort of thing, which is below joining with a thread. So as we will be using light colors, so these lines will be visible. That's why I'm drawing it with pencil. Now we are done with the drawing. Now let's discuss about the colors which we will be using. So the colors are yellow aqua, burgundy, orange, white and black. So these are the colors we will be using. So I'm just taking my round brush and we'll start from the top first. So let's mix some white and Burgundi colour to make the background color. So just taking this color and making it very light. I don't want a very dark color to be. So very light, pinkish color. These Burgundy colors are mostly violety pinkish colors. If you don't have this color, you can directly use any pink color, whichever you have. So try to make it very light. It should not be very dark color. See now when I'm applying this color, my background lines are also visible. So it will be easy for me to draw and paint the whole balloon. So just as I'm going down, I'm making the colors a little bit more lighter. Trying to fill the background part first. When you will take thick colors, you don't have to do two, three codes. So try to take thick colors and do it in one go. So just making a nice smooth of color, it should not have brush marks. Again, mixing a little bit more of this color and just trying to do one more coat. When you do two coats, the brush marks are removed, and the colors which you have filled, it looks more neat. So just I'm adding two coats of the background, and then we'll do the sand dunes which are below. So by the time we'll do the sand dunes, the upper part will dry. So just taking burgundy, mixing it with the yellow acre and a little bit of black. This color will turn into a nice burnt sienna. It's very dark brownish color which has come up. So I'm just coloring one side of the sand dune with this dark color. So you can see I will be coloring alternatively this dark color on all the sand dunes which are there. Do it very carefully with your round brush. When you will use your round brush, it will be easy for you to fill the colors. Filling the darker part first. So one more to go and we're done with the darker part. 43. Time Is Precious Details: Welcome back. So let's start with the other parts of the sand dunes. So we will be using different colours of warm colors, actually. So just mixing this orange and white together and a little bit of burgundy also, and I'll start filling the colors. So I'll start from the top making this a nice orange shade. You can see. It's a very orange shade. So just filling the upper part first. Now, here I have kept the coat as time is precious, so we should enjoy each and every moment of our time because this time never comes back, so that's why time is very important. So now we will be doing the second sand dune which is there. So you can see it's a bit darker in color. So I'm just mixing a little bit more of this yellow ochre and making it a different browny shade. Just adding a little more of burgundy and white mix, it will be a little different color than the one which I have used on the above part. So just filling it with this color. So different different varieties of values of warm colors we will be creating, as you can see. All these four colors of the sand dunes are different. Then only it will look beautiful as we are creating a bow painting of landscape. So just adding more of this black and Burgundian this to make a little bit more darker color, but not darker than the one which we have used in the first one. It should be less darker than that. So I'm just making it more browny color, different from the color which we have used in the first one. So I'm just adding more of white to create a difference between both the colors. So you can see there is a difference between both the colors. So just filling it carefully, thick color so that in one coat it is done properly. And the last one we will be doing, it's a complete brownie color. So just adding orange, yellow ocher and white and a little bit of Burgundi also, and just filling the lower one. It's more of the brownish color. So now we are done with all these four sand dunes. Then we'll start painting the upper part, which is the balloon part, which is there. So we're almost done with this. The lining we will do once the color has dried up. Now the upper part has already dried, so now we can do the painting of that balloon. Just doing the outline first because outline here is important. After that, I will start filling the color. Outline I'm just doing with this nice, dark, Burgundi color. With the same color. I'm just trying to fill it up both the sides, the dark color which we have made. So So it's just Burgundian black mix, just filling that with a very dark color. Then the second color is the yellow and the mid color is more of orange color. So second color which I will be filling is the orange color which is in the center. The rest are mostly yellow ochre with a mix of white. So these are the colors which I have used for the balloon part. Try to fill it as neatly as possible. If you want, you can add second at also to it, but try to fill it as neat and the lines should not go outside the boundary. Otherwise, it will not look good. Just making the outside color a little bit more darker. Now we will be doing the lower part, first making the line with the darker color and just the lower basket shape, which is a rectangle shape. Just filling it with a nice dark burgundy color. 44. Time Is Precious Final Details: Welcome back. So let's now outline this first. Just using my white gelpin, I'll just outline everything. You can outline this with your white color also using your rigor brush. But outlining with gelpin is the more easier process. So just outlining this with my white gelpin Now taking my round brush, I'll just mix some burgundy and this orange and little bit of white colour. Just filling the area, which is in the second part a little bit, because that was not filled nicely. After that, we'll just write the coats and we'll also outline the upper part as well. Outlining makes the painting look more beautiful. You can outline this with black also, but I felt like outlining with white will look more beautiful. Outlining the inside part with my rigor brush because these colors are still wet. And if I will outline with my gelpin this will not work properly. So I'm just outlining with my rigor brush. Now, once this outline is done, I will also create some details below. With my same rigor brush just outlining this box and creating some nice vertical lines. Now, the last part which is left is the quotation and some boards also we will be creating. Just filling the colors nicely so that this whole balloon looks neat. Little little things makes the painting more beautiful. So just adding some birds and quotations, and then we are done with this painting. Let's take a gelpin and write the at first. The coats which I will be writing here in the darker section that is time is precious. Also, I will be adding some birds on the top with my brush itself. Taking rigor brush, taking black colour, making this color a little fluid, and just adding few birds on the top. Very simple and easy birds, which we used to learn in our childhood. So this is it. And let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So I hope you guys are enjoying this bookmark series. Anyone can do any bookmark, whichever bookmark you like, you can do it. And you can tag me on my Instagram. That is Moheni Art Gallery. I would love to reshare it. So this is it. We'll meet in the next class. 45. Look Beyond: Hello, friends. Welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. So let's do a little drawing. So you can see there is a background, the sky, the sea, and the ground in between, there is a lighthouse. So simply drawing some lines, and in between, there is a lighthouse which we will be using scale. So it's not a straight line, a little bit of a diagonal line you can create, like a slanting line, like a steep from top and a little bit thick at the bottom. So not too much thick, but little thick. After that, we'll start with the painting. There are not much of drawing here, the lighthouse and some grasses below, and we are done with this drawing. Also, in this quotation is the Look beyond. So you can see I have written the quotation in the red part. Few of the drawings, you can add the grasses also below directly, or you can draw the lines. It's totally up to you. So I'm just drawing the lines in between also. You can see there are lines in between. So some grasses, some zigzag lines. Also, some lines which divides the white and the red part. Very simple and easy drawing it is. Now, let's talk about the colors. So the colors which we will be using is hallow blue, yellow ochre, red, white and black. So these are the colors which we will be using here for the entire painting. So let's start from the top. So for the top, I'm using my round brush and this white first. You can see it's a light color. So whenever you mix any light color, take first white and then take some little amount of color and then try to mix it. Then you'll get a perfect light color. So I'm just painting the above part with my thalo blue color. You can use any blue, whichever blue you have, you can use it and you can just paint the background. So here you can see I'm using my round brush, not the flat brush, but yes, you can use your flat brush. Since the area is very small, that's why I'm using this round brush so that I can do these small, small areas carefully without making any mistake and without taking the color inside that lighthouse, do it very carefully. Once we are done with the background, we will do the s and then the foreground. Try to do this as neat as possible because everything in simple painting requires is the neatness. So the more neat your painting is, the more beautiful it looks. So you can see I have done the above sky. Now we will be doing the lower part, which is the area, which is the Sea and little bit area which is left on the side, I'm using my rigor brush to do it. And inside also the tower house, there is a gap which is in blue in color. So try to use the smallest brush to fill these gaps. Don't use the bigger size brush. Otherwise, color might go inside this tower house. So be careful when you are doing this. Now, let's start with the below part, which is the mid part, the C part. So the C part which is there, you can see it's a dark color on the top. I'm just making a line a little below so that it's more of the sky area. Now, let's do the C, which is there, mixing a little black into this tallow blue and making the above part a little dark. Try to first make the line and then start filling the color from dark to light. So you can see how dark my color is. And as I will go down, I will just take a mix of hallow blue and a little bit of white. And as I will be moving down, it will be more and more white. So like this, I will keep on doing the coloring of the sea part. So try to blend it simultaneously when you are filling the colors. You see I have not mixed any water in this. The water is only on my brush. That much amount of water is required when you are doing acrylic painting. So don't use too much water when you are doing this. You can do this type of painting with acrylic colors, with gauge colors, with poster colors, any colors you want, you can use it and you can paint it. It is a very good practice to paint every day because these are very small bookmarks, and if you are a beginner, I think this exercise is must that you paint every day. This will give you a habit also and your muscular exercise also for holding the brush, how to move the brush in a smaller part because painting in a smaller area is more difficult than painting in a bigger area. So you can see I'm trying to blend also simultaneously the colors. So blend it, then only that C part will look more beautiful. Once I've done one side, I will do the other side of the sea as well. So you just have to keep in mind the three colors. The first color is mix of black and Tallow blue, then thalo blue, then thalo blue white, a little bit more white and more white. This is how the color should go from dark to light transition. Just try to be careful so that the color should not go inside this tower house. Even if a little bit of colors goes inside this tower house, it's fine because when we will be doing this painting of red and white, this will be gone. But yes, if some dark colors go inside this, you have to do at least thicker coat on this so that the other color is not visible. So you can see I'm just filling it. So do it very slowly and blend the colors with your same round brush. You can see I'm blending the colors. Colors will only blend if your color is wet. Otherwise, it will not blend. So make sure that your color is wet. Then only those colors will blend. We will be doing the lower part, just mixing a little white into this yellow ocher and filling it with this nice yellow ocher color. So we're almost done with the blocking of everything now will be doing the blocking of the tower house and the grasses and little bit of detailings It's okay if the color has gone inside these grasses because these are dark grasses, so it will be it is completely fine. So just adding some nice, ocean textures with thick white colour. Don't mix any water in this. Take thick white colour and then only add these textures. Don't mix any water when you're adding these thick textures. Also some thick textures above, also, I will add a little bit to give a water effect or a ripple effect. 46. Look Beyond Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start further. So just taking first red color and applying it on the top. So this will be an alternate part. So one part red, then another white, then red and white. So alternate, we will be doing it. So here you can see I have used my rigor brush for painting this because it's a very small bookmark and it's not very big in size. That's why I'm using the zero brush for painting this. You can use your round brush also size one or zero for doing this whole thing because the area is very small, so try to use a smaller brush and give first the outline of the edge and then fill the colors so that the color should not go out because if you want a neat painting, so try using a smaller size brush. Now, as the quotations suggest that look beyond like we use this lighthouse to look beyond the horizon where the ship is coming or enemies are coming. So something like this we use for this tower house. So like this, we should also use our mind to look beyond our imaginations. We should try anything which is beyond our limit. We should not stop somewhere that, Okay, we are not able to do this, so we'll not do this. So just you have to think beyond and try to achieve your goal as much as possible. So something like this, I thought in mind. So I kept this quotation in this painting. So every painting has a meaning. I've tried to connect that bookmark painting with the quotation as much as I can. So just filling all these blocks with red color, simple red color, you can use any red color, whichever red color you have, cadmium red or scarlet lake, any red, whichever you red you have, you can use vermilion, any red. So just enjoy the process and fill it one by one. So first fill the red and then fill the white. You can leave it blank also like this, but I thought of filling it with white also so that it looks uniform. The more you practice such paintings, the more you will get hands on, and more muscular exercise of your finger will happen, and more you will get used to using your brush if you are a beginner. So that's why I have created this class so that you can just try it out. These are maximum 30 minutes painting, and you can do it in 30 minutes time or so. And if you will follow each and every step of mine, so you will be able to do it exactly the same what I'm doing. So just try to follow the process. If you're not good at acrylics, if you're not able to do acrylic painting, just follow the process what I'm doing. And I think you will be able to paint these bookmarks and you can gift it to your loved ones. You can just laminate these bookmarks and then you can just gift it. All the bookmarks are unique in their own ways. And if you're trying these bookmarks, please do tag me on my Instagram that is Moni Art Gallery. I would love to reshare it. Just enjoy the process. Now I'm just filling white color in this. Now, this is a time when some colors have gone inside this tower house, you can just fix it with the same colours. I have almost completed coloring the entire tower house. Now I will do the next part. Either you can outline it or you can do the upper part. It's totally your choice, how you want to do it, or you want to follow one by one, same steps which I am doing. That is also fine. So here you can see I've mixed red and black, and I'm just doing the above part. M So again, you can see I'm doing with my rigor brush. So every time you have to use your rigor brush for doing such small things. So don't use bigger brush. Otherwise, there will be chances that some colors will go out, and again, you have to fix those things. So do it very carefully when you are doing it. The best practice is to outline it first and then fill the colors. So you can see we're almost done with the blocking of this lighthouse or tower house, you can say. And then we will be doing the outlining also, and the grasses which are below, we will be doing with some dark color. When you mix this yellow ochre and black, it turns out to be a nice greenish color. It's a dark green color which I'm using here. So try to mix yellow ochre, a little bit blue and black mix, and you will see the colors have become a little greenish. So just coloring the grasses. So adding some more smaller waves with my rigor brush. Also outlining the edge of the ocean wave with my black color. Make the color thin when you are outlining it. Whenever you are doing any outline, try to make your color very thin. Otherwise, there will be a very thick line of will be created. So just adding some nice birds, small birds on the top, like a V shape. Also outlining this lighthouse. You can outline this with your pen also. If you're not comfortable outlining it with your liner brush or rigger brush, you can outline it with your technical pen also. So just trying to fix some of the areas which are left out or some colors have gone inside it. So that's why I was telling try to make your painting as neat as possible. Now I'm making the rays with a very thin color. You have to make a color thin by adding water and just try to make the rays on the top. So you can see I'm just mixing white and yellow ochre, making the color very thin, and just filling it with my flat brush. Try not to use very thick colour. These are the actually rays, which are light splashes, flash, which is coming out. So I'm trying to create that since it is a boho painting, so I'm not giving much of details in this, a line showing that the light is focusing somewhere. So now I will write the coat. The coat will be in the red section. So I think this is the best place to write the coat with white color. You can write in the white part also with black color. It's your choice where you want to write. Simply look beyond. This is it. Now let's take out the tape and see how it looks. So this is it. We will now meet in our next class. 47. Stay Beautiful: Hello, friends. Welcome back. So let's start with our bookmark painting. So this is you can see in a circular or oval shape. I'm starting from the center, creating some five oval shapes, starting from the center. Just take a proc center and start creating some nice oval shapes. This you can directly do with color also, but it will be easy for you to do when you draw these ovals. Very simple and easy painting. Like, as the quotation says, stay beautiful. Sunsets are always beautiful. You don't have to explain anything. So these are the colors which we will be using here. So the first color is the white color which we will start from the center. So just filling it with white. Then comes the lemon yellow color. So just lemon yellow, you have to do it in the second circle. Since this is a boho style, so we don't have to blend it too much the colors. It's okay if the colors are visible like a separate color. But if we are doing as an acrylic painting, we will blend this whole thing. So just filling the colors. This blending, you can see in my Bigner lesson class, which I have taught. It is a complete Bigner lesson acrylic painting for bigness, complete bigness. You can see this type of painting in there, which has a blending techniques as well in that case. So here I'm not blending it. I'm just filling the circles. Now I'm mixing this lemon yellow and orange together to make a nice, light, orangy yellowish color and just covering the third circle. So everywhere you have to use the same brush, that is the round brush. You don't have to add water to your colors. Water is already there on the brush. Dip your brush in water and directly just grab the colors and start painting. You can see I have added the third layer as well. So we will be adding fourth, fifth and sixth. So total, there are six circles altogether. So slowly, slowly, I'm just filling the color nicely. I just want it to be in an oval shape. So that's what I'm trying to do over here. Again, now we will use directly the yellow. You can see yellow, it's not properly circular. So I'm just giving it a little shape to this yellow part first. It's okay if little bit colors go inside this orangy part because it will blend and will turn into that orange color only. It's fine. Just try to give a nice circular shape to it. Then only it will look a little more beautiful. So just try to make it more circular. Now I'm adding orange color. This is cardium orange, which I'm using here. It looks like red, but it is not red. It is cadmium orange, which I'm using here. It's quite bright orange, as you can see over here. So just adding this camium orange in the fourth layer. The easiest way is to just first make the circle and then just fill the color. The easiest way is to make a nice oval shape. So try to do it carefully and as neat as possible because in these types of painting, the neatness matters how neat you are making your painting. Here, you can use the oval shape brush. You can use the round brush also. You can use the Filbert shape brush. That is the oval shape, which has a nice curve on the top. That brush also you can use in your painting. Any brush you can use, it's totally your choice with which brush you are comfortable with. So I'm finishing it. Now I'm taking red color and putting it on the top. So as you can see the names suggest that is stay beautiful. Whenever we see any sunset or even if we see every day the sunset or the sunrise, it is always beautiful. So all these natural things teaches us so many things to be stay beautiful in whatever condition you are in beautiful from inside. It means that should be beautiful from inside that even if anything changes or anything, you should always feel the gratitude and thanks the universe for who you are. Thinking this in mind, I thought of creating this sunset painting. You can see a glowing sunset which is there only as the sun is there, I haven't created any background because there's not too much space over here. I'm just creating the sun and the background effect which comes and some nice tall grasses which are there. Just adding this red color. Now in this red, I will mix a little bit of black and I will add on the top. So it's not totally black. It's a mix of little bit of black and more of red. So don't turn it to totally black color. Now comes the lower one, which is a little more darker than the upper one. So first, I will just try to fix the upper one first, and then we can do the lower part. Lower part is more darker from below because here is the foreground where we have to create the tall grasses. And I've tried to keep each and every painting very simple and easy so that even if you are a beginner, you can easily paint it because these are very small paintings, not only that you have to do it on the bookmark itself, you can do it on the poloid or A five size paper or A six size paper. Any paper, you can paint it and it very easy to paint and very easy to draw also. You can see I'm just adding one more coat to make it a little more thicker because I can see some pencil lines over there, which I don't want to be visible. So I'm just hiding it with a thick color of yellow. Try to keep it as neat and as clean as possible. The more your painting will be neat, the more beautiful it will look. Just making this whole circular thing more circular, it should not look like a crooked shape. It should be nice, oval shape properly. Adding one more coat to all of these and fixing the shapes also. Okay, now, just taking this orange color and just applying more orange color to it. Try to fix the colours wherever it's possible because this will only make your painting look more beautiful. You can see how I'm fixing this and making it more oval in shape. I just want all these shapes to be more oval. After this, we will be doing the darker color, that is the red and the upper dark color, which is a mix of black and red. So just enjoy the process and do the whole painting background painting as beautiful as you can. Here, the brush number which I'm using is the four number. You can use four number brush. You can use six number brush. Any size of brush you can use, it's totally your choice. So we almost done with the background thing. Now we will be creating the grasses, making this again this whole yellow part, little more round. 48. Stay Beautiful Final Details: Welcome back. So let's create the tall grasses which are there. So first, I will be just adding with my flat brush some dark area, taking the color and just creating some nice pushy area below and taking a little bit of orange and a little bit of red color and creating more of these textures. Try to use a damp brush. Don't use very watery brush. Remove excess of water just by removing it with your cloth and then use the brush. You can use the vertical brush strokes, as you can see, I'm putting it from down to up and using it at an angle, the brush. And using the tip of the brush, now I will create the grasses with the round brush also. Once I've created the whole base, I will be taking the rigor brush and just making some nice maroonish color mixing black and red and creating some nice lines below first. Then a little bit smaller lines then as I'll go creating the bigger lines as well. So it's a mix of both smaller lines as well as the bigger lines. Add some lighter first and then some darker version first. It will look like that these rays are falling on these grasses and it is turning into the orange shape. That's why I'm not using directly the black color. Just create some nice tall grasses. With your liner brush. Try to make the color fluid when you're creating these lines. Don't use thick color. Otherwise, thick lines will be generated. Try to use thin color and create nice lines, big lines, small lines in different directions. When you add these lines in different directions, it adds more beauty to the painting. It's not like how I am adding you have to add same. You can add your lines in your own ways. It's not compulsory that where I am creating the only you have to create. It's your choice, how you want to add your lines. I'm just giving you an idea. So you can see just adding few more lines. So just making it a little bit more longer. So just making little taller lines, some criss cross lines, some lines are overlapping one another. It's totally fine if one line is overlapping the other line. It's totally fine. Now adding some more lines to these bigger tall grasses. I will just add these hairs only to the taller grasses, not the smaller ones. And always try to use thin colour. Then only this will look more beautiful. Otherwise, thick patchy lines will be created. So make your paint a little thin by adding water and then use the colour. So this is actually our 30th bookmark painting. So, yes, it was a long journey from bookmark one to bookmark 30. I thought I will not be able to do it, but yes, we did it. So almost 30 bookmarks, and guess what? There is two more bookmark coming up. That is the bonus lesson, bonus lesson one, and bonus lesson two. So two more bookmarks coming up. So yes, this is not the last bookmark painting, two more bookmark painting I will be sharing. So if you're trying out these bookmarks to tag me on my Instagram, that is Mohii Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it. So you can see almost the grasses I have done. Now I will just write the quotes when my base has dried. I'm just adding a little more black parts below because I want it to be very dark. And just adding a little more of the grasses below. Also, you can add some of the lighter colors also. So I will write the coat first, make sure that the base has dried. Don't use it on the wet paper. After it has dried, then only you can write the coat on top of it with your gelpin so here, the quotation is Stay Beautiful. So this is it just removing the tape and see how it looks. This is the complete painting. I hope you enjoyed this whole series. Is you in the bonus class. 49. Bonus Lesson Cherish Every Moment: Welcome back. So let's start with a new bookmark. So just doing a little sketch. This is the second last bookmark which we are doing and one more to go. So let's start first with the drawing, and then we'll start the painting thing. Simple sketch it is with some mountains, some valleys and some trees. So these are the sketches. Very simple sketch you have to do. It's not very complicated. Only the main thing is there's mountain in between the water part also. So it's not only in the horizon line, but also below the horizon line. After drawing this, we'll be doing the coloring part. So just simple drawing. Circle you can draw with any own thing also, or directly, you can draw the circular thing with your pencil. Now, let's discuss about the colors. The colors are the we will use the background first. So the colors first we will be using is this violet color. This is a light violet color and mixing a little more white to it. It is already light color, but I want more lighter than that. So if you don't have violet color, you can use any purple color and just make it as light as possible, like a pastel shade. So just mixing this light violet color with white, and I will try to cover this whole background with my flat brush. So the first color is this use thick color so that in one go only that whole blocking is done. So you can see I've done the entire blocking, just the mountains. I love little bit colors. I've gone inside that circle, also, but it's fine. When we'll be doing it, it will be covered the mistakes, whichever color has gone inside, the boundary of that circle. So now let's take our round brush, and again, taking this violet and a little bit of red mix. Very little amount of red. I want to make it a pinkish color. But when you add this red into this violet, it becomes like a pinkish, purpolish color. So this is something different color. You can say. You can also say it is like a peach color it is. So something like that. And I'm just making a circle. Take thick color. Don't mix too much water. And just water is there only on my brush. That's it. That much amount of water I'm using here. And I'm just filling it the upper part of that is the moon, which is there. Idly, the moon is not pink, but in this case, I have made it pink because this is something creative which we are doing. So yes, you can do it with any color. It's it's just the representation of a moon or a sun, anything anything you can say. So for this, I have kept the quotation as cherish every moment that you should cherish each and every moment which comes to you, whether you're go traveling, you are seeing some scenery or you're going to something or you are just sitting and drinking tea and watching TV, so enjoy each and every moment. The more you will enjoy, the more you will feel good from inside. So yes, nature teaches us so many things. I'm just mixing this blue color, which is the thalo blue I'm using here and a little bit of red. So when you mix these two colors, it will become a light, darkish violety color, not totally violet, you can say, but it is a reddish violet color with which I'm covering this one part, and one part will be the dark color. So like this, I will alternately fill the colors. So just use your round brush and fill it slowly. All these mountains are of same similar color, just little variations. So you can see one part I have done with this light color. So all of them, whichever mountains are there first, I will do this light color, and then we can proceed with the darker color. Just try to do it as neat as possible. You can see it is alternate. One side, it is blank. Then again, I put other side. So it's like you have to do it alternate ways. So just mixing more of blue and black and a little bit of red also just to make it a very dark color. So this dark color I will be applying on the other side. So these are very small, small patches which are there, which I'm representing in a form of Boho style. So we are not doing so much details in the mountains. We are just filling the colors, and the dark colors also we are filling in between. So just making the darker part, and then we will do the area which is below. So you can see how simple it is. Within 15 to 20 minutes, you can paint all of these paintings. Choose whatever coat you want to choose or whatever painting you want to do, and just start with it. You will feel good. If you are fresher, if you are a beginner, I think this is the class which I think you should try out. You will really feel good after creating this because I have taught step by step from drawing to painting to writing the coats, everything I have done from scratch. But in this case, try to do it as neat as possible. Now, the lower part, I'm just covering it with black, which is the tree part. Can see I've just covered it with whole black. O. 50. Bonus Lesson Cherish Every Moment Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start with the water part. Again, using my round brush, white and Tallow blue. You can use any blue ultramarine blue or cobald blue if you don't have Tallow blue. Tallow blue is a little more like a sea color. That's why I'm using here, this blue. It's very vibrant blue actually. That's why I'm trying to use this blue in this painting because it will look beautiful and very cool in this warm painting. So that's why I've used this color. Filling this part neatly. Now, you can see we are almost done with our background and everything blocking. We just need a little bit of details of the trees and the outlining with white, and then we are done with this painting. Try to take thick color when you're filling all these colors. Now we will be just doing the outlining of the whole circle, the mountains. Each and everything I will outline with white. So here I'm using the white pen gelpin I'm using. So you can use either pen or you can directly use your liner brush and draw the lines with the same acrylic color. It's totally your choice. But when you will do with this gelpin it is a little bit easy, but make sure that your base color has dried. It should not be wet. Once this whole thing has dried, then only apply this gelpin. So you can see I'm outlining each and every part, also creating some birds. So each and every part of the mountain, I have outlined over here. Now I'm just making some trees which are the pine trees. I'm showing the above part of the tree and the rest are in the darker section. Very simple tree textures, I'm putting, not very complicated, you have to create lines in a diagonal shape and little curvy. That's it. Very simple and easy way to do. If you want in any other way, which I have taught in my previous classes that also you can use. There are lots of pine trees which are there here. That's what I'm trying to show in this small bookmark painting. Once we are done with this, we can write the codes and we can outline this mountain, which one is left. Outlining the last mountain. I. Also, I will add a little white and black mix and just adding some more dark grayish coat in this just to look a little more different. After that, once this has dried, then only I will write the quotation. I'll wait for the background to dry and then I'll start writing the quotation. You can see this painting is almost complete, taking white colour and outlining the horizon line. Now my foreground has almost dried. Now I can write the quotation over there with my white gelpin. Simply cherish every moment. So if you're trying out this bookmark, please share or tag me on my Instagram. That is Mohni Art Gallery. I will love to reshare it. So there are so many bookmarks. Anyone you can try it out. So this is it. This is a whole painting which we have done. I'll just remove the tape and let's see how it looks. You can do the painting on complete bookmark also, complete Earth page, but I like that white border. That's why I've kept bookmark. This is the complete painting. See you in the last class. 51. Bonus Lesson Two - Miracle Happens: Welcome back. So let's start with our new bookmark. So just a little bit of drawing and then we'll do the coloring. So this is actually the northern lights, which I have done in A Boho style, so you can see here. And the quotation of this will be Miracle happens. This is like a miracle only that you can see different lights on the sky, different green, purple, pink lights in the sky. So these are all miracle which happens in nature. So just adding first the mountains and then the lines. So this will be our last painting of this whole session, which includes almost 32 bookmarks. So this is the last bonus lesson which I will be doing. These are very simple paintings, just drawing the lines, and then we just have to block in the colors. So anyone can do it. Even big nurs can do it like perfectly. Now, once I'm done with the drawing, we'll talk about the colors which we will be needing for this entire painting. So let's talk about the colors. So the colors which we will be needing here is the black, white, lemon yellow, and Prussian blue. So let's first start with the above part. So I'm taking my round brush over here. You can take round brush of size four or six and just taking white color. Sorry, just taking this yellow and blue mix. When you mix Prussian blue and lemon yellow, very little amount of Prussian blue, then it turns out to be a nice light lemon, you can say lemon green color. So that's what I want. I'm just coloring, just mixing this up with this color. And after that, like, alternately I'll be filling this color inside these lines which are there. So you can see how bright this color is. So try to use lemon yellow only over here. No other yellow because lemon yellows are quite bright, you can say, and just a little bit of prussian blue. Very little amount. You don't have to add too much. Otherwise, the entire color will become dark green, which we don't want. We want a lighter color of green. So more towards yellowish side. Just adding alternate rows, you can see. Here, you can use your flat brush also, but if you're using flat brush, then use a smaller size flat brush, not a bigger size. Take thick amount of color and just fill in these nice curvy shapes, as you can see. Water is already there on my brush, so no need to add any water in your color, directly use the color and start filling it. Now you can see I have done the lighter color. Now we will be doing the darker one. So for the darker one, I'm using this Prussian blue and a little bit of black mix, and I will start filling it in the ones which are not colored. Fully slowly, I will fill one by one the entire blocks. So you can see this painting is very simple and very easy, and the outcome is very beautiful, as you can see here. So that's why I was telling that anyone can try this painting. Anyone, even if the beginner who has never tried any painting, just take your colours and start painting the bookmarks. It's the best way to practice your brush techniques and everything. As you can see, the quotation which I have put in here is that miracle happens. So as in nature, these are miracles which where you can see these beautiful lights, these green light, this purple light, pink light in the sky. Similarly, in life, also, miracle happens. Sometimes we are not expecting that and it happens. So yes, it's completely true. You just have to believe in yourself, and everything is possible. So yes, so nature teaches us so many things in different ways, as you can see. So that's why this last painting is this Northern Lights because I really like seeing the pictures of Northern lights, even though I have not seen it like with my own eyes, but yes, I have seen pictures. So just filling these colors one by one. So I hope you enjoyed this complete series of bookmark. And you can gift these bookmarks to your friends, neighbors, family members, anyone who really like reading books, and they will love to see this handmade bookmark by you. So just filling the colors. Try to take thick colors so that in one go, you can just fill in the entire thing. You don't have to repeat it again. Finally, we are done with the blocking. Now we will add some stars using white and this Prussian blue mix. I'm just spraying it above. So with this, it's really difficult. So I'll take the flat brush, wet my flat brush, and then again, take the colors which is here, taking more of white mixing here. So it should be a little fluid. So just mixing a little bit of this lemon green also and just spraying it with my finger. Very small, small dots will be there. So just adding a little more water to this, and again, I will spray it. 52. Miracle Happens Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start further. So the mountains. So the mountains here we will be using the colors, which is this Prussian blue and a little bit of this yellow and green mix and white. And you can see the color which is formed. It is like a teal color. So just mixing it and a little bit of black to make a little darker one. And first, I'm adding the darker color which is there. So you can see how you can mix and make different different varieties of color. It is like a turquoise color, you can say or a teal color. So it's something like that in between. Any sort of color you can just make by mixing it. So you don't need each and every color. You just have to mix and make the colors. So first I'm doing the darker one and then I will do the lighter one. Lighter one is nothing but a little more white should be added to that. Now, once we are done with one side, we'll do the other side. The spraying thing, you have to do it first before painting the mountain. Otherwise, when you will spray it, some dots drops might come on these mountains. So that's why spraying of these stars, you have to do it before. So you can see, I'm just adding now the lighter color. Very simple and easy way to paint these mountains in boho style. So You can see I've just done the mountains. I will also add small pine trees below, not very big, small, small pine trees. But first, let's outline it with my rigor brush. Make your color a little thin, white color and then outline it. Don't use thick colour. Otherwise, you will end up creating thick lines. You can also outline these things with your gelpin, but you have to wait for your background to dry. Then only use your gelpin. Outlining with white makes this mountain look more beautiful and vibrant. So we will also outline the upper part, which is the sky part with the same white color. Just simple outline. These outlinings you can also leave if you want. It is not necessary that you have to outline each and everything with white. You can leave the upper part. It's totally your choice and your creativity, how you want to create your bookmark. Little bit here, the color has come up, this blue color, so I'm just fixing it. Now, once we have done the outline, just the tree part is there, and then we are done with this painting. So now let's add the trees which are there. These are pine trees and very small small pine trees I will be creating below, as you can see, taking my round brush of size to just creating first the lines straight lines, And then I will slowly start creating the tree textures which are there with my rigor brush. So slanting lines on both the side. Try not to leave much of gap in between the trees. Otherwise, it will look very odd. So try to fill each and every gap which is there with these tree textures. So you can see how closely I'm just adding these tree textures. Let me zoom in a little so that you can see it clearly. So this is how we have to create it very close to each other, as you can see. You can see where less gap is there in between, some of them don't have gaps also. So that's why I've created some tall, some short different types of sizes of pine tree. So this is the entire painting. I'm just filling the gaps which are there and below with black color. So we're almost done with this painting, we'll just write the quotation and we are done with it. So I hope you enjoy these whole series of bookmarks which we have completed. So this is our last bonus class. And I would love to see your project works. You can also tag me on my Instagram that is Mohii Art Gallery. So we will soon be meeting in our next exciting class. So this was the last bookmark. So do share your reviews as well. I would love to see your feedback, your project works. So simply writing the quotation, and we'll take out the masking tape and see how it looks. So just taking out the masking tape, and this is the entire painting. So I hope you enjoyed this, and we will now meet in our next exciting class, which will soon be coming up. Thank you so much for all your support.
