1. Introduction: Hello and welcome back. I'm angina and I'm here
with a new class for you. And we'll be creating not one but four
beautiful paintings today that all Mini Polaroid
street light paintings. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know how
much I'm clicking pictures of street lights
everywhere I call. This is mainly focused on
adding street lights and other competence
to your paintings and how you can make
it look realistic. After watching this class, you will be able to make
your own compositions. All you need to do is paint the sky at silhouettes
of your choice. Add one or more street
lights and that's it. You will also be able
to paint without any differences after
watching this class. My previous class was also focused on a street
light themed painting, but it was really
detailed and was suitable for intermediate and
advanced levels. This class is very
big enough, friendly, and you can finish
each painting in around ten to 15 minutes of use. Few of my favorite color
combinations for the sky, sunset Who was based on sheets, blues and purples guys. Most of the basic techniques
that I'll be using in this class are all
covered in my first class, basics of gouache painting. It's a very little
explanation about the media and also how you can use it
in the best way possible. Make sure to refer to that
class before you watch this, I will be using the
similar techniques and some new ones in this class. I'll be explaining it
in detail as we paint. Super excited for you
to watch this class. So let's get started.
2. Materials and getting started: Let's have a look at the
materials required to make these paintings that almost the same as I use in all my classes. I'm using Bruce joe
do 50 GSM sheets, that is success
papers and they have a smooth surface which
walks with gouache medium. I'll be using those
jaw flag brushes and detail of brushes. We need a masking tape to tape the paper and give
them a Polaroid frame. Will be using Brewster and anima Ballard White
Nights gouache paints. We'll be using two
jars of water, one to wash off your brushes and want
to dampen the brushes. Ceramic palette to mix your
paint and a piece of cloth. Since you're painting these in a Polaroid format, we need, they have the edges
on three sides and David slightly to the
center at the bottom. Now that we have a frame ready, let's get started with our
first Mini Polaroid painting.
3. Polaroid painting 1 - part 1: Okay. So let's get started. I'm just going to
keep my father to us so you can see the fans I mix. The first painting
that we'll be making is this beautiful
bluish purple sky with this little street light casting its glow on the
surrounding bushes. We'll also be adding
clouds and learn to create depth and
make it look realistic. Let's have a look at the colors we'll be using for
this painting. Ultramarine blue. Mao, or any other
thoughts that you have. Cobalt blue. Lots of white will be waking day different
colors using these. The first one is a mid tone, the intermediate color that
we'll be using at the center. For the darker shared
on the upper half will be adding more
blue and purple. This is the Docker
shared that goes on top. The consistency of the paint
is always very important, not Dalton are not
very taken dry. It should form a smooth mixture that is easy to work with. Funds he had this
beautiful shade. We can start from the top, apply a good amount of it
and walk your way down. I'll wash my brush off and they put in the lighter
color that we mixed. Starting at the centroid
and walking my way up slowly so that it blends well with the color we
applied earlier. Make sure you do this step
while the first color is still coming back with a clean
brush and now mixing the lighter shade that we'll be using for the bottom
part of the sky. I'm starting it from
the bottom and working my way up and blending it
with the intermediate color. Leave any way be adding
trees and bushes, silhouettes at the bottom part, but it's always better
to paint a base layer and then layered or
the confidence on it. You can walk on the blending as long as you're
satisfied with the result, It's totally okay if
you don't get it, guys the first try, you can practice blending
in your sketch books. It's very calming to just blend two or three
colors without having to worry about the final product
or the end resided. So I suggest you
aedicula sketchbooks and just fill out the sheets
with your brushstrokes. It comes your mind
and you'll also gain confidence by walking
on your final pieces. Let's add some clouds. Now. I'm using a
slightly darker tone. I'm just dabbing
my flat brush on the base layer and
painting the clouds. Now I take some lighter purple. This is a combination
of Mao and the white. And I'll add it to the upper
portions of the clouds. Since the bottom part
of a cloud is dense, it's darker in color. Now I'm coming back within intermediate shed and
I am just going to blend bodies sheds by dabbing
some paint in between them. So the edges are soft and we do not want any harsh
edges in the clouds.
4. Polaroid painting 1 - part 2: Let's add the silhouettes
now using black. Covering the bottom
portion with black. And we'll work our way up
and detail are the trees. Little trees and bushes. Silhouettes don't mean
define shapes who are like a perfect
circle or semicircle. It has to be as
random as it can get. Don't stick to a particular
shape or symmetry. We are just painting
the dense spot tau by applying blobs of fear. And once that's done, we can detail it out and add tiny leaves using
a detail of dash. So now I'm coming back
with the detail brush. I'm going to be adding
very tiny leaves on the upper part and the sides
of the trees and bushes. Just start dots that are
spaced very closely. Don't leave a lot of blank
spaces in between them. We don't want the leaves to look like they're
floating in the air. Make it very random
nor defined shape fits knee joint and it
has to look very natural. Okay, once that's done, let's now add the light ball. You can also use a
detail or pen for this. The first scholar will be
adding hood is odd inch. I'll be mixing yellow and
the orange I need hood is a little lighter and it
doesn't come in this set. So I'm mixing the tool. I'm going to start by applying the orange paint for
the street light. You're spreading the order
and Jeran the light is because we need to achieve
the glowing effect. That's what would
make this painting no detailed and realistic. Using a darker
orange or rounded. Now using yellow paint for the center portion of the light, blended solely with
the orange paint. That way we can achieve a
beautiful glowing effect. Now, I'm using white
paint at the centers. And look at how
beautifully it's glowing. Let's now add some
light to the bushes. The light from this
ticket bulb, gas, this beautiful colored
on the bushes around it. And that's exactly what we're
trying to achieve here. Honestly, this particular step takes the painting to
a whole other level. I'm using the orange that we mixed earlier for
this street light, just adding tiny leaves on
the upper part of the bushes. One thing to keep in mind while painting this is the
source of light. The light coming from HIO is falling in this direction
on the bushes over here. This part will have light falling only on the sides
and not the whole bush. Since this is strong here, we're using orange on this
and diode part of the bush, making sure where the
light falls is very important to get a
realistic effect. Here. You can clear this up their little bush
to add more depth. I'm digging a ****
brush now and blending the orange very gently
with the black bushes. It should look like it's
fading away with light. We all love adding stars
and moon in our paintings. So let's do that and make
this piece more magic. You can also use a while
Jelly Roll pen for this. But I would suggest you practice it with a detailer brush itself. With that, we are done with
our first Polaroid painting. Tie him to feel the tape off.
5. Polaroid painting 2 - part 1: So for the next painting
will be making a to sky. I'm using these
purpose that we have on the palette from
our first painting and will also be a
mixing a beautiful color using crimson,
orange, and white. I'll be mixing white to these puppets sheds
on the ballot. Now that we have both
these gorgeous sheds will be painting a
sky using these. Let's start from the bottom, but based in pink. Now, I'm going to
dip my brush in the pastel purple without
washing my brush off. We start from the top
and work our way down. Do this while the
paint is still wet. I'm adding another layer of
fresh pasted from the top and I'm going to blend it. Now. I dip my brush in some
black paint and add very little of it to the pastel
purple color and white. This will give us a beautiful
popular should be there. Same way how we added clouds
in the previous painting. Dab some paint on the base
layer for the clouds. I'm now adding some depth to the clouds by adding
a darker color to the bottom portions of
the clouds by adding very little black for the
parent be mixed earlier. Then len board the sheds
but the **** brush, you don't need any harsh edges. So I'm just softening
the clouds. As you go down. Just make very light
lines for the clouds. Again, I'm coming back with a **** brush to
soften the edges. Now using right is please
get off the update to it. And I didn't some
highlights to the clouds.
6. Polaroid painting 2 - part 2: Let's add the silhouettes
now using black thing. I'm adding the light
folios in black, make it slightly
thicker this time. I'm adding the other silhouettes like bushes and the virus. If you observe, I'm not
adding dots this time, you can do that, but I wanted to add in another technique
with this class. Let me give you a
closer look at it. I'm adding random lines that are going in different directions, but there are no blind
areas except at the top. And it gets dance
as you come down. I'm just going to
Yvonne little brochure to balance the composition. When you're painting the
upper part, just do this. When you come down
and you want to fill up slightly larger spaces, you can address to
your entire brush on the surface to fill it up. On top you are just painting
the delicate leaves. And at the bottom
you can fill up the areas with your whole
brush testing on it. Aladdin, the virus silhouettes. Now, you can also
use a pen for this. I need the tailored or micron
pen would work with it. We'll be using this Odean sure
that being mixed earlier, same as the previous painting. We'll start with their
doctor would order hinge and welcome to the sender using
yellow and then white. Of course, we'll
be adding the moon and the stars in this
bending as well. I be using this same
auditors that we mixed to make the lighter needs. Just adding highlights
on the leaves. Again, see him technique
as a previous painting. I'm also adding highlights
on this point on mine sites. Let's fill the tape
off and we are done with our second
Polaroid painting.
7. Polaroid painting 3 - part 1: Let's start our third
Polaroid painting. Now, I've taped my paper and
I have a ceramic palette. I'll just quickly
run you through the paints that we'll
be using for the sky. For the upper part will be using a mixture of black
and Prussian blue. At the bottom we'll
be using yellow from Bruce joe made the
yellow and flesh tint, both from Bruce straw. We'll be using that at the bottom and a
little hint of orange. We'll be needing black
for the silhouettes and brown to add
in a few clouds. And white for this
street lights. You through the process and explain it in
detail as we paint. Some flesh tint paint. And I'll add it in the center. Violet still erect. I'll read the opinions are made yellow and start
from the bottom. Walk 58 up and blended
gently with flesh tint. Lot to be adding a
lizard right yard because I wanted to share
to be a little lighter. Okay, So since we'll be
using Prussian blue on top, it's important to cover it a little bit of the
top portion with flesh tint so we can overlap the colors and blend
them together. I will allow grab
some Prussian blue and black and mix them together. I'm using very
little black yard. This is a beautiful deep blue. I always prefer this
scholar over just blue. Adding it from the top and
I'll work my way down. I'm going to overlap it
on the flesh tint color, but make sure you don't
cover it completely. I am now going back
to flesh tint and I am going to apply that
and blended with blue. You can work on it until
you achieve a nice, smooth blend, beautiful
gradient for this guy. Now, dip my brush in very little orange paint
and mix it with yellow. Adding this color at the
bottom to give some depth.
8. Polaroid painting 3 - part 2: Now that we're done
with this guy, I'm going to get started
with the silhouettes. I'm taking some black
paint using a flat brush. And just like how we did for
our first Polaroid painting, I'm going to cover
this area here. Make sure you don't cover up the orange area in
the sky completely, but let it overlap a little. This line that we're painting, it need not be
straight or perfect. I'm going to add some bushes and trees
silhouettes on top. I'm coming back with a detailer brush size three
from Khrushchev started, I think in the tiny leaves. These silhouettes at
a level far so I'm making the leaves
smaller this time. The main intention
of this class is to practice painting street
lights and to achieve the glue and how you can
make your paintings look realistic by following a
few very simple steps. Diam do Aadhaar street lights. Now, we'll be making multiple
light falls in these. One thing to keep in mind while painting this is
the perspective. The poles in the front
are longer and take God and as we bend
the ones at the back, we reduce the land and the
thickness of the balls. Now use a pen for this step, using a soft liner size tool. And it gets bigger
as we get closer. Let's now add light
to our street boils using this
beautiful orange color. And I'm making the glow effect. I'm going to mix white with little yellow for the next step. And I'm adding it in the center. Then I'm adding some white
just dots of paint will balk. Time to add some tiny stars. I feel like it's a little
plane at the bottom. So I'll be adding some clouds using audience and burnt umber. Now coming back with
a clean damp brush to soften the clouds so we
don't have any harsh edges. Using a flat brush for this. You can add lighter
clouds as it goes up. Let's build the tape now. Favorite part of the
entire process is this, feeling the tape off and finally be able to see
the finished painting. That completes our third
Polaroid painting.
9. Polaroid painting 4 - part 1: Let us now begin our
fourth and final painting. I'm referring to an image
I clicked a few days ago. We'll be simplifying
this and painting it. For this guy. I'll
be using civilian blue and Prussian
blue with white. I am going to take some
Prussian blue here, some cerulean x2,
and lots of white. We'll be mixing several, Ian and bye, I'm very
little portion blue. I am going to mix it well, the lie achieve the desired
color and consistency. Let's start with the
base layer. Now. We are making an
evening blue sky and I'm using a flat
brush for this. Just applying an
even coat of paint. It's just one color. And make sure there are
no brush lines scene. I'm just going to
run my brush over the entire surface
doors more than it out so it doesn't look
patchy after their gyrase. Let's start painting the trees. Now, I'm using this valid here. I have a separate palette just for all the different
shades of green. Since I work on a lot
of future paintings, I thought I may as well
keep one just for doors. This is yellow, green from
Bruce draw that we'll be using for the lighter portions and highlights of the tree. Sap green as the next
shared after the yellows, olive green for the
darker parts of the tree. We have black here
that we'll be using as a base layer for the
tree silhouettes. These other shares will
be needing for the tree. Let's find the base
layer for the tree now and block this area. Just using a flat
brush and dabbing some paint on your covering
1 fourth of the sky. We can always add more leaves on top using the lighter colors. This step is to just have a
defined area to paint on. And adding black
gives that depth. We need to live more
colors on this. Once that's done, we are going
to take our neck shared, which is olive green. I'm adding very
little black to this. I'm going to start from the top. Adding dots and lines that
are pleased ready closely. One thing that shouldn't be
done here is adding dots, but a lot of blank
spaces between them. It will look like the leaves are floating in the air and it won't give us a natural effect that we're trying to achieve. Make sure to connect
them together. Especially on the upper part, it's important to do this. But at the bottom you can
add dots with spacing, since we already have
a base layer of black. Now repeat the same steps
on the other side as well. Making an ADL little band
charts so it doesn't look like and also gives it
a more detailed effect. Let's now add in the highlights. That is, those parts of the tree where the light from the street light is falling. This is such a beautiful color. Yellow light from juice Joe, I love using it to add
in the highlights. I prefer this scholar over lemon yellow or just light green. If you don't have this, you can mix yellow and red, a little light green
or olive green, and that will do the job. I'm adding this color on the
top most parts of the trees and making dots and lines that are closely
spaced at the door. And as I move down making
dots, you are in there. So it looks like it's fading away with the darker
green and black. And if you'll feel like
you've added too much yellow, then you can always
go back to sap green, olive green, and cover
it up and blend it.
10. Polaroid painting 4 - part 2: Let's add the street boy now. So this funnel slightly
more detailed than the ones we had in our
previous Polaroid paintings. I am taking this as
my doctrines point. So the perspective is that we're looking at a street
die from the bottom. You're standing next
to it and looking up. It's gonna go like this. So the bottom part
will be ticket. And as it goes up, the thickness that
I knew was, is. You can also use a
scale to draw this. This is VAB will be adding the light out a few values that will be painting
behind this. For the fall, we'll be
using a mixture of black, ready little portion
blue and some white. By mixing these scholars will be achieving a beautiful bluish. Agree? Let's paint this sheet boil now. Now to add some shadows and
highlights to the poll, I am going to make some black and make this Greer
little darker. I'm doing this on
one side because we'll be needing the rest of the band omega lighter color. This bowl has a nice
metallic effect and we are trying
to achieve that. You can also use a black
marker and add this. I'm adding a little
white and making a lighter color to add the
highlights on the forum. Now coming back
with a clean brush and I'll just blend it
with the other sheets. We do not want to
mix all the colors. What we're trying to do
here is just soften it out. Allow come back with some
white and add it at the site. This is the light falling from the street light
onto the fourth. I'm using yellow and white to add the light for
the street light. So I've painted this
central area and a little bit around did
to create the glue. I'll now come back with
a clean brush and blend it with the background to
achieve a nice glowing effect. I'm also using the same
yellow for the poll here and adding it on the
highlight that we made earlier to enhance it
a little more edge. Once that's done, I'll
leave some orange red mixed earlier and add an outline
to show that light. And a little bit in
the center as well. I am adding white and
yellow at the center now, this time with a little more
white so it's brighter. Let's add the wires. Now, I am using a point
to soft liner for this. You can also add in a
few more details here, dark and a few areas and
make some defined lines. Let's build the tape off. And we are done with our
last Polaroid fainting.
11. See you soon: Thank you so much
for making it till I absolutely loved painting
these many Polaroids, but street lights and
other continents. I love how they're so simple to paint and how they
look so beautiful. But all those little details, you can make your own color
combinations of your choice. Don't be afraid to explore different gradients and colors. Look out of your windows, look at those beautiful sunset. Use and paint them
on your papers. Add in some silhouettes and
street lights and you have a new washing of your
own Polaroid painting. I'm really looking forward
to seeing your creations. After watching this class, you can either paint one
for Polaroids and don't forget to share it in the project section and leave it or view below
if you'd like the class. Do shared it with me and tag
me on Instagram as well. Thank you again for joining
me and I'll see you soon. It
