Transcripts

1. Intro: Hello and welcome to this class. My name is Heidi, and today we are going to be painting by napkins using that assist technique. It is a very fun and easy magical technique and I will charge you from the beginning, chosen the colors. Why to use this type of technique? What paper is better for you, cold pressed or hot pressed? And how will be the final result? And you'll find that piece. Remember, you can always turn me here an escalator and you won't miss any class. I will love to see your work project for this class. And I can't wait to see which color disease. How would you painted pineapples? And I am so excited to have you in class. So let's begin. I will see you in the next video. 2. The Supplies: Let's take a look at all the supplies we are going to be using during this class. And don't worry, if you don't have the same as I am showing you. You can use whatever you have at hand. First, you will need a good-quality watercolor paper, European ruler. For this class, you will also need different in watercolors. I am using a cold press and hot press watercolor paper. I will show you the difference in the next video. Keep at hand some scrap paper for making the watercolor chat. And you will need the magic cranium wax Canadian in this class. A brush. Different Russia is always a nice thing to have water, clean water and upon to mix the colors in your site. Also, a fine liner, wash day to fixture paper, watercolor markers. A day. Wherever you think do you need from your art supplies? You can also substitute the crayon with masking fluids. I have two types, liquid masking fluid and a ping masking fluid. If you don't have the Graham, just you can use that or the medium to work in this class. I will see you in the next video. 3. Create Your Color Chart: Before we start talking about the difference papers that we are going to be using during the class. Which are the hot press watercolor paper and the cold press watercolor paper. And you will see that the front end, when we are working on those type of paper, let's make our color chats. And I will just try all the colors that I choose for this class, which are innocent range. So pink, blue, green and different shades, and yellow in different shades as well. I'm using a round brush to make the watercolor chart, and I will start with the Prussian blue that I choose for this class. I am not sure yet if I would be using this color, but I just find them very nice. And I have an idea that they want to share with you on this class. So keep an eye on that. But you can always choose all the colors that you want. We are painting in this class, pineapple, and they have a characteristic color. We should range in the brownie jello or query colors with green leaves and some touches of black. And I will be teaching you how to paint the pineapple. And in the most easy and quick and easy way, I am just playing as always, with my color because I want to know them really good. So I know what to expect or what will be the final results when I use them in different stages or with certain amount of water, or when I am using them, it dry. It is always a very fatal recommendable embedding important that you do do color chart before you start your paints. Whatever painting you are doing. It is always a good practice for you as an artist to get, to know your mediums. The ones that you are working with. And go and get to know how they react, how they look like when they are, when they are dry. So you have a more beautiful experience while painting. So these are, these are all the colors that I will going to be using probably. And this is my pineapple reference for painting. I will see you in the next video. 4. About The Type of Paper: Let's talk about the paper and the difference when you are using cold press paper, watercolor paper. And this is a fine-grain paper. It has a little bit of texture. And the paper is very rough, is very, can contain a lot of amount of water. When you paint on it. The watercolors really blends perfectly, but you can feel a texture on the paper. So this is the first difference. When you are using cold press watercolor paper. Here I have another one in it is hot breast collar pipe. This one is a very soft, is like silk, silk English teacher and is a very delicate when do you use it? And the final results are very smooth, very clean, very sophisticated. When you compare it with the cold press paper finish, it looks a bit of a difference. It doesn't matter in which paper you use, just use what you have at hand. And you will see the difference when we are using the watercolors and working on our pineapples. These are the previous that I did when I was planning this class. We are going to paint together on this class three types of pineapple. I will see you in the next video. 5. Studies: Alright, let's see how our paper, in this case, a big cold press paper, watercolor paper, works out with our pineapples status. We are going to be study the colors and the crayons. So you see how the magic happen here. And when we are going to paint the pineapples, do we'll understand better the technique. I will just divide my paper in four equal parts. And we are going to be playing with our grains and our watercolors. So I have my pipit of fixed and ready to work. Now, I will start in the first coordinate of the paper using my white gray and I have other colors. So you can see, when I paint with a white gradient on my white paper, do not see who I am, what I am doing. So I want to show you first what is the thing we are going, we are going to do here using a colored pencil or crayon pencil like this. I am using Jell-O and you can see the lines that I am tracing with my roller onto the paper. Then we are going to be applying the watercolors. During the class, I will be using the white crayon. So he's most likely do not go in to see the lines. So that is why we are going to do this. Now. I have my crisscross lines, and this is the same design we're going to use when painting the pineapples. So this is how we do it. We just trace lines in these two different directions, crisscrossing them. So we get those shapes of pineapples. Little diamonds are little squares, or this shape that the pineapple has on the pillow, on the pill. So you can now see that. You can see the white crayon on the paper when I trace with it. That is why we are using colored pencils. You can get the idea while we're painting, or pineapples or final pieces. Now, I will just use my watercolors. You see the magic and how it happened using the wet on wet technique here. So you can get an idea on how the watercolor will work on the technique. In an RF thing that I want to show you is how this works. Can you see how the wax crayon resist the watercolor? And on those spaces where we paint white or gray in, the color doesn't show on the paper. So it makes the silhouette or the separation in our painting. For now you can not see the shape because I didn't bank and shape here. I just crisscross the line so you see what we are going to be doing in or next PDFs and during the glass while painting the pineapples IN just blending the colors here, pink and blue. So we have a beautiful background. This is just a study and this is very fun to do and super important for you to see. And you don't get confused when we're painting or pineapples. Now, getting a lot closer here, which shows you how the magic happen. Now, we have the white lines on the paper. And look at this. This is just a magic. The wax crayon just resist the corner selling now here, now here now the current is not going here. And the same will happen if you use masking fluid or masking ink. To make this pattern of the pineapple. I will continue painting and you will see how The lines show up in our bike around using the green color. Just testing the colors. And this is a cold press watercolor paper. So you can see already how it will create this texture. Texture. While these are drying, I will then paint on the other squares that I have fear using this color combination because I want to decide if I want the lines from my pineapple white or if I want to try the combination I have in the napkin with the reference shape of a pineapple. And I'm doing the same crisscross lines. So I get those little diamond shapes or squares shapes on the pattern. You can also decide to use another crayon color and not the one I will let that to-do for you to decide. And I will also use a brown gray area and try to do the same idea. So I just want to try here. Color combination for my pineapple. This is our more than the more resemble the normal pineapples, which are yellow, ocher or brown. And then we are going to be applying watercolors to see how it looks like. And then decide if I want to use the white effect or the colored crayons on the painting. So now let's use the watercolor saying, I am using the most near colors to a pineapple, starting with the ocher, and then using the permanent yellow deep and the permanent yellow lemon. So I get an idea of how they will look like. If I use them to paint my pineapples. Looks really nice. I must say, but I want to see it when it dries. I get a better idea. Remember, you can use your creativity here. It doesn't need to be their real colors of a pineapple you can use most, the most color you want. And major pineapples as unique as you like. Now I will try this combination from the napkin that has more darker lines in a very light jello. So I get them better idea and then I can decide what they want to do with my pineapple. When I paint them. During the class. You can do the same upside. In doing so, you'll get to play with your colors and then decide on colored palette. Looks nice as well. But they listen that the white combination is the more appealing to me. I think I will decide to buy in with the white corridor, just adding another layer to see how the color react, how it looks like. And I will let this dry. Now, it is completely dry. I will remove the washy tapes. Then. Certainly I will use the white gradient for this class. We did a study and the white point, the other ones doesn't look like that. But I prefer the white one. I will see you in the next video. 6. Pineapple Hot Pressed Paper : Time to start painting or pineapple. But 5th, we are going to be fixing or paper to the surface. We have a frame on your paper and it looks more time MU different. If you have taken any of my other classes here on Skillshare to know that I use this technique to make my washy tape more gentle on my paper. So when I peel off the washi tape from my pipette, it doesn't damage it. It is pretty easy if you haven't taken my other classes, then I will explain it quickly to do. But you can refer to my other classes. Just take your washi tapes and place them first on your clean towel and then do take your washi tapes from the tower to just paper. And you will see that the glue from your washi tape will become more subtle. So it doesn't stick too much to Egypt paper, but it covers the spaces that you want to live. What it doesn't damage your paper. Using the hot press, watercolor papers for this pineapple. Here you have an overview on the colors that I'm using during the class. So you can refer to this list anytime an hour. So you have here a pineapple silhouette that you can download in the project and resources section of this class. I will start by tracing my pineapple shape using the white wax crayon. And as I explained to you, you are not able to see the lines. Are going to see the magic happen when I apply the watercolor. So don't be scared. The painting is there. Even though you don't see it. By now. I will trace the leaves and they are like pointy leaves, to know a pineapple. Now, I will trace the crisscross lines across my lounge shape. For my pineapple. I know you can not see yet, but we'll see it. Went. I paint it with my watercolors. I didn't wait to see what colors you use for your lines. And if you use the white as I'm doing the white cranium, then you will see that this is a little bit challenging even for myself and for yourself, because the lines doesn't show up. I needed to look for that perspective to see the lines and not make a myth with the separation of the crisscross line. So we are almost there with all the lights. And then to start painting with watercolors and create the beautiful nomadic of our pineapples. I think you can see here the lines are little bit. When the light is shining onto the paper. Size, you can make yourself an idea. I have here my watercolors, and I will add a drop of water with my little button to activate the pigments. For the brushes, I am using two types, one small flat brush for the leaves, and one more bigger flat brush to paint in the body of the pineapple. I will start using the bigger one because we are starting with the body of my pineapple. And I will start with the ocher yellow on the bottom part of my pineapple. And look the magic, how it happened. In using the technique wet on dry. My paper is dry. This case. I'm just using wet my brush and the color which was activated with the drop of water that I put my little bottle at night. You can have a more near expedience of this magic. I hope your pineapple is looking separately like this. And you don't need to mind about the CEJ, the perfect shape, because we are looking for a perfect shape. We're looking for a nice expedience with the cranium, magic and our watercolors. I clean my brush referred to using the next color. And I recommend you to this as well. Color will show more cleaner and sharp honored paper. Remember, this is my hot press. Watercolor paper. And you can see how smooth and shiny this appearance is. Now for the last quarter, which is the permanent is yellow lemon summer liner journal. I then painting the upper side of my pineapple. And we can just see, look at this and it looks already like a pineapple. Remember, you can use whatever color combinations you like. But if you're using this same color combination is also perfect. I can't wait to see it. Injured. Class project. We're going to upload that to the class project section. For this class, I will pick up a little bit of the excess of water on the painting because we are going to be adding another layer of color and it will make the color more clean and sharp. Now, to paint or leaves, I went to make things a little bit sharp. Pointy pen for that again, using my smaller brush, doing this motion up and down with my brush, not pressing onto the paper, just holding it, lined it with my hand. And going very light up and down, up and down. And just following the shape that I did before with my white crayon. You can see how these shapes are showing up when I paint with the green water color. And it doesn't matter if you go slow or fast. We are looking for the effect of pointy, leaves. Just to make it more fun. Using fears, the permanent green. Number one, this is a later, lighter, lighter colored and also adding some a spot on my pineapple to know when to buy a pineapple order. When you pick up a pineapple from this field, they have always some spots and we are going to resemble that on the paint. Just a little bit of getting the lighter one you have with water. And it will make the effect. We're just tracing the lines a little bit more. And now with my darker green be DVM, who in this case, I will just add some leaves or another layer of green color with a darker on top of the fierce layer to make a little bit of contrast and depth. Or my pineapple leaves. You can do as many as you want. And feel free to use different shapes to make your painting more fun and beautiful. Going up and down, holding your brush very lightly, not pushing it to the paper, just holding it very slightly and going up and down, you will get this effect. Now it's time to let this a little bit try to continue with the next layer. 7. Pineapple Hot Press Paper Details: Now, the pineapple is that i, and I will do a glaze technique, which is just with my clean brush. I will wet this in water and I will go through my whole painting so I can soften those hard lines when the watercolors dry before. I can then make it smoother onto my paper. This is a very useful technique to make your painting more soft and beautiful. And you just need your brush and what they're going through and cleaning your brush. Of course, if you need to take that x is of watercolor, then I will add a little bit more of pavement. In some of the parts of the body. From the pineapple. The colors gets a little bit highlighted. Just need to do this if you think it is needed. But if you've considered to pineapple looks dry away, Perfect. Then just let it at the, this. In just doing this because I want to show you how the glaze technique works. And I want to add a little bit more off layers to my pineapple. Going on one direction with my brush applied in the cleaning, my brush is very important to this process. And now with my wet brush, I will just move the watercolor and create a background. Not too dark. Just using my brush and the excess of pigment that my pineapple already has on the sides. I will I will do this until I cover the whole paragraph of the pineapple. And this gives a depth and a contrast to the painting. Make the pineapple pop-up the front. If you can see it. You just need to go all the way up with your brush and a little bit, a little bit of pay. In this case, I am using the yellow shades. You can live with pineapple on our white background. That doesn't makes any problem. But as I want to make a frame, then we need to cover that space with colors. So if Mark the frame when I remove the washy tapes, you can also use another color if you prefer. But in this case, I wanted to just add the more yellowy tones or shades to maintain the tropical pipes going on. There are going to between the little leaves. And it is okay if the green water color go a little bit on the paragraph. So I will just make more layers with my dad. Watercolor in green using my dry brush. So the texture shows up on the leaves. Go gently with the brush doing those lines. So it gains a little bit more of a structure and contrast, we think are the greens that to the half injuries. So now my painting is completely dry and as I told you at the beginning, I am using a fine liner brush around. In this case, you can use black if you prefer this. Okay? And I will add some dots just to make the little marks that the pineapple has on the Pew. Just adding little dots on the center of the diamond or squares. The pineapple. This is our adjust these little marks that the pineapple half and you can maybe do hers or circles iron just doing, doing dots in this pineapple. So you get the idea. Go through all the free spaces on the, on the squares and add two or three little dots. Here. You can see more clearly and near how I'm doing it. Just placing three dots on all the squares of the pineapple. Started looking like a pineapple embedded. Cute. I think. I like how the colors blend. And this not too loose style. Now, I will also add some splashes to make the painting more fun. Using the green and using a flat brush in a bamboo stick. Another of the, the technique that I use on my paintings. You have noticed that if you have seen all of my classes here on skill, share, this make the painting looks a little bit more fat. Analyze. So now that my painting is completely dry, I am having my signature ended year. When I did this. You can do the same place. This is your artwork. Nice time to remove the washy tapes very carefully still. So you don't damage your paper. Very gentle. Enter paper will be seconds. We are almost done with the painting. And I hope to like, how do you print it is looking. And they do enjoy the process and have fun creating it. So you have something beautiful to add to do correlate to your collection of paintings. One more to go. And our painting we'll be done. Here, we have it. Or pineapple painted with watercolors and white gradient and hot pressed watercolor paper. And I hope you like this one. And I can't wait to see what you create on the glass. Pretty excited for the class. I will see you in the next video. 8. Pineapple Cold Press Paper : I have here my paper fixed to my surface. And I already painted the pineapple using the cold pressed watercolor paper. In this case. You cannot see it, but you will see it when we apply the watercolors. In a minute. Here you have an overview on the colors that I'm using during the class. So you can refer to this list anytime an hour also, do you have here a pineapple silhouette that you can download in the project sources session of this class. To start painting our pineapple. It is here. You will see the magic happened right now. Using the technique wet on dry. And do can see that texture just showing as I am applying the watercolor over the silhouette that I already transferred to my paper using my crayon. And you can see the magic, how the wax resist to the applied in the colors. It just assisted. And we can see then the silhouette and the pattern forming as we paint on the paper. You can also notice that this paper, the cold pressed, is most, most of a texture, even though is a fine grain paper. With the, the look is very nice. I like this kind of paper. Because the finally salt always look like a loose watercolor paint. Blending a little bit of width, color. To make more contrast. In the chat. I'm just adding some shades below the pineapple. Now, let's paint the leaves just in a more shape. It leaves in this pineapple more rounded and pointing on the, on the points. The tips of the leaves have different type of leaves, as we did in the other pineapple. Just to be playful and to make something different. Using the same technique applied in the field selected and then add in some darker spaces on the leaves to give them more of a depth and mortar structure. You can use whatever shades of green you have, or even your campaign, the leaves in another color, maybe brown, because the pineapple is ripe. Or get creative and paint a galaxy. Pineapple, that will be nice. Adding the change on the top left is some white spaces on the leaves. Gave them a structure and contrast. And they look very nice. And tried to pay to place leaves. Had ammonias on the paper. To keep a little bit of. Cohesiveness is always a good thing to do. And just let yourself be guided by nature. Now I will use my smaller brush to add a little bit of a dry colored on the pineapple and then just activate it using a little bit of water. So the watercolor can move on to the painting. I want to create a leader with a rough texture. This is why I am using a more dry colored in this case. So it stays on the paper and doesn't dilute or dissolve. When I use too much water. Keeping the water low will help you to create a more rough texture, underpainting. And it will help your painting to look a little bit more realistic. This is the second layer color. And now with just water, we are going through the whole pineapple. Moving the color with your brush, a little bit of glazing. So the color move and those hard edges of dry colors, the salt and get more soft on the paper. We're making a little bit of background here with the same yellow from the pineapple, just moving the color away and making kind of a background in a lighter che 9. Pineapple Cold Press Details and Reveal: All right, let's add some highlights and details. Or pineapple. And I will start by adding some splashes using my flat brush and the bamboo stick. And you've seen in the green, darker color that I have in my palette. To add a little bit more of fun, too. Cute and beautiful. Pineapple. You can use other colors if you prefer. I want to use the green one. Now I have a very small brush. This is number 0. Very fine. And I will go through all the leaves with the darker shade of green that I have in my palette. To make a little bit of more structure and define every leaf with this color. Just going around the shape of the leaves with the green tone. Using the technique. Wet on dry. So the color China more deep and bitmen, it doesn't dilute and doesn't mix with the leaves. Going. I don't have to leave. And making the shape sharper. Clear. Add in some stems. But being careful that the whitespace stays on the lips to create a contrast and the reflection of light. You can do the same. And if you are using another color, just use a darker shade of the same color. And take your time. This is a very slow process. As you can see, I am not speeding up this video. This is a real time painting. So you are painting with me? I hope so. And I can't wait to see your class project in the class project section for this class, I always enjoy seeing what to do, how to approach the class. And also do your own creativity and your own way to do things. I also learned from you. When do you share your creativity and your wisdom and your beautiful creativity? This is taking a more defined che, as you can see. And I am very, very happy on how this is turning out. Now that my leaves are done, I will do the same. But on the pineapple giving a more defined shape using the ocher, yellow from my palette. And going around the silhouette of my pineapple. And using the technique wet on dry as well. It looks more shape it the pineapple. And if you notice that if you're white lines are not showing up, you can use a white paint and go through the lines with your white paint. So you're white lines show up more nicely. Now this bot, using the same ocher color, these marks of my pineapple. I am really liking very much how this is looking. Now. And we are animals. We are pineapple. Defining the shape. Make it pop to the front. As you can see. Now, I will add some splashes with the ocher, yellow. Now that my splashes are dry. So it may contrast on the painting. Try to control the water amount so the splashes are small and not too big. Okay. Here is a time to remove the washi tapes. And to look at or beautiful painting or pineapple is looking and green lines here, these are pineapple is done. And I can't wait to see what you create. And what color do tooth. Remember to always sign up, sign up your paintings. Because this is a beautiful creation. And I really love these beautiful pineapple. So I will see you in the next video. 10. Funky Pineapple: For this pineapple, I will, I went to do something fun with you. And I am using the cold press watercolor paper. I have fixed that on my surface and I already painted pineapples. So you need to do that first. Here you have an overview on the colors that I'm using during the class. So you can refer to this list anytime. You have here a pineapple silhouette that you can download in the project and resources section of this class. Let's start with our painting. And I have, here are the colors that I will be using in my palette. And I have activated them with a little bit of water. And we can start then painting. I will wet my brush. I am using a flat brush. And I will start with the Prussian blue from the bottom to the upper side of my pineapple. And by now, you are very familiar with the technique that we have learned during the class. The white cranium is from wax, so the color or the water is resistant by the Best Buy this medium. So the color go through without painting those pattern that we did, crisscrossing the lines using the ruler and the white crayon. And if you are using masking ink, that will do the same job. Just you need to remove the masking ink at the end when the whole painting is dry. So I then applying the second color and you can see how they mix together. And now we are applied in the last color with this yellow, permanent yellow, lemon, which is a very light jello. Now we're just going through the colors, making them mixed together. So we get a real nice timberland. Using cold press paper. You see that the appearance get a more loose and it blends perfectly on the paper. So applying a little bit of more of colors. And then let this dry. And now we are going to be painting the leaves. In this case, we're painting little lines up and down. And getting the round edges on those leaves. Using the lighter green first in the first layer. And then using the darker green to make the shadows and highlights. You can paint the leaf in any way or shape you want. Joseph, lead to creativity flows. As always. Just get going around the lines that I painted with my white pen seen before. This is why I know where to paint and how to do it. The guideline. Now I let this dry and now I will apply the shadows on the first layer using the dot character. This makes beautiful contrast. I call this one the funky pineapple, because I will be using a beautiful pink for the background. As you will see in a minute when we finished the contrasting the lips. And it will give a very funny and funky appearance to or pineapple. I've pink, orange would be a nice color for these funky pineapple. And I went to charge you. How would you need to work on the background when you have a objects? Aren't a painting at the green on those spaces until you feel or do see is enough. And then you can let it dry and see when it dries if it needs some more color. I want this to be very natural and very loose. So I don't know mining too much about the perfection of the shapes. And it is more fun like that. Now I will add another layer on the body of the pineapple using the same colors in a more pigment that way. So using less water. So the color is stick to my paper. If you add more water than the colored with desal. And if you want to blend the colors and Jones, use a clean brush with water only. If you need more, one more, pay more pigment and just paint and then just add very deep or less dilute colored injured patient. As I'm doing here, the watercolor tends to be more lighter when it dries. This is why you need to make so many layers until you see the effect that you really want. And always you can use your clean brush so your painting stays clean and chart the colors. In just going through all the colors with my brush. A little bit of blending using my pigment where I see it needs more pigment. So the color when it dries look much vibrant and beautiful. And keep their towel near you so you can use it to remove Sx of water color. Or when you see that the color is getting a little bit mixed side you can correct those before it completely dries. Many layers as you wish, because this is the magic with watercolors, you can always correct and always get the more colored or less color as you need. Or S2, which shape of the pineapple is looking really nice. The colors are getting more vibrant. And now it's time to paint the background. I then using a buddy vibrant pink. This is the opera pink. And you can use the same color or CEJ, or you can use another color. And spinning up a little bit. Because this is a long process and it will be too long for it. I then fit using my small flat brush. And then I'm changing to the bigger brush to finish the background. Painting with my pink on the light, I covered the whole background of my pineapple, mining the lines of the pineapple so that the color doesn't get over it. And then let this dry a little bit before I add the final touches to my background. In two layers of pink. 11. Funky Pineapple Details: All right, my pineapple is completely dry. Now I will add that the last and more vibrant layer of color, using the same colors and trying to have the list of water in my brush as possible. So the color stays very vibrant. This is what I am looking for here. I apply the blue first and now I am applied in pink. And last, I will apply the yellow one. If you are using the same colors, then you need to see how prevalent or how light you want your colors to be made the adjustment as you like. With water, we can always dilute the color so they can blend easily to get. Now I will continue adding a last layer on the leaves. Using the darker green I have on my palette to create the contrast and the shadows and the highlights on the leaves. As you can see, these lips are rounded on the tip. And it gives a more puffy look to the leaf on the pineapple. Remember we are painting a Fanta pineapple. So this can be as the head of the pineapple, need to be like Buffy. Adding the color that we need more color to be, and trying to keep white spaces between. So it reflects the light. Make the effect of light reflecting on the pineapple. And continue until you decide how much you want to paint. It is always a measurement when it comes to decide how much color or how less color you want in a painting. Gibbs. Do the choice of deciding what to paint to look like. We're almost ready with the leaves. It looks also like a clown. If you think of a pineapple. This leaves represent like a crown for the fruit. So that is more the idea I have with this one. Now. I think this is enough and I will let this dry and see how it looks when it dries. This is how my pineapple look like. I already took off the washi tapes and here I have a Burdash watercolor brush pen. I will outline my pineapple. You can use a fine liner if you don't have this one. This is a brush Japanese style pen. And it gave a very beautiful effect because the tip of this brush is like a brush. And I like the texture that it gives to the painting. In the color black. I will go around all the silhouette of my pineapple. And it will pop. It, put it made my pineapple pop on the page. And look more fun and playful and funny. If you then want to use black, you can use brown or other columns that you prefer. Even gold will make a very nice contrast here. And goes low on the lines. So you don't miss that shape. Of your pineapple. Now, I will make a close-up so you can see the texture of the brush pen. And you can understand what they mean because the paper had a texture when you go through with Ben, than the texture reflect on the ink. And it looks really nice. I really love and really break. I will now paint some stems and the leaves to make them look more structure. Chat. We're almost done doing this little outline from our pineapple. And now we're ready to start painting. And the little dots on inside of the diamonds are the squares of all pineapple. And here I am doing and the head shape with my brush pen.
