Watercolor Illustrations: Pumpkins Composition Beginners Friendly

1. Intro: Hello and welcome to this class. My name is Jaime, and I will guide you through the whole process of creating beautiful pumpkins and then creating a composition with them. We are going to start with a blank canvas. And then at the end of the class, you will be able to be painting this beautiful composition. You are going to be learning about the four elements. You are going to be painting with me the most easiest, I'm kings. And you would be amazed how easy it is for you. We're creating together the color palettes and do will also learn how to use the outline. And you can download this composition in the resources section for this class. I will show you how to paint this beautiful composition using only your brush with our sketching, without outlining. And you will see how easy it is. And then I would tell you how to use a outlines to make the same composition. You have Both idea in both styles. You can choose which one you prefer. I can't wait to see you in class. And remember, you can follow me here and it's going to tell you don't miss any updates and any glass that I shared with you. You can also always talk to me. In the comments section for this class or the discussion section for this class. I will love to hear from you. So don't hesitate to contact them. Get them ready to start the class. And I was I doing the next video. 2. The Materials: Welcome to the class. Let's take a look at all the supplies that we are going to be using during the class. This is an overview of all the materials. I have. My watercolor paper. You always need that good-quality watercolor paper brushes. This is not the one that I am using the ingested into the brushes. We are going to be talking specifics during the class. In the next videos. I have, I cleaned our ankle, my color palette on watercolors that we are going to be using for this pumpkin paintings. I had white paint, a pallet with left over colors that I always use and have had clean water and always, always have washi tapes. Fine line. There is another type of paper to make your class, Georgia, but in that you have everything you need on your desk. I will see you in the next video. 3. The Color Palette: Now it's time to start playing with colors, but fears, let's activate them. Uploading one drop of water on these little bands. So the color becomes easy to use on our papers. I have here are the shapes that we need started from a cold colors going into the warmer ones. And as I was telling you, I have always my left over colors on my pan because I use all of them. I don't discard any leftover watercolor and they are so much fun to use, to practice and to make little touches of colors on your painting. So don't throw watercolors. Use them. All. I going to be starting with this pilot and then going with all of them. So we can see the value of these tones of this chase. And we're starting with a darker value and going to the most lighter one. This is a black from Connecticut. And I really like how these pigments are so easy to work with. The final result is always super beautiful. I then, then they lifted the value here. I'm just adding more water and then you have a deep color or a light Kotler. Now I will use the raw umber deep. This is also from cuda, could attack at this Japanese brand. And very nice and beautiful to use what you are painting. And the colors really are vibrant and beautiful. Now, I will use this burnt sienna from could attack as well. And you can see that the pigment works really nice on the paper. Now I will change. This is a burnt sienna. But from Winsor and Newton, you can see the difference in the pigment. A little bit more lighter. This is a ocher yellow from Winsor and Newton as well. This is a cadmium yellow from Winsor and Newton. And this one is cadmium yellow. But from Kodak, these colors are really beautiful. And do the worms here. This is another cadmium, yellow or yellow ocher, yellow from Holbein and other Japanese pronouns. And I am really loving how this works. And I almost know all this color because I use this color on my paintings. So I am used to this behavior from the pigments. And this other one is cadmium yellow as well. And this is the lemon jello from Holbein, the D3 last color, or from watercolors. I have been using all these colors for many, many times, so I know how they react as well. This is my favorite thing. And this is the olive green from Holbein. And this gives a really nice color to the paintings. I really like this. These are firm, could attack it. That's, this one is this sap. Green. This other one is Bellamy. Who you, this is the viridian hue. Number one, don't make their cell of a program. If you don't have all the same colors, you can use whatever you have at hand. Don't complicate yourself too much. Just try to use the similar colors as Eigen testing here with you. And I just want to show you that it is very important that you get to know your colors. Because depending on the brands, the pigments of the watercolors can differ very much. And I cannot tell you. Use the sap green and then you have another brand and it will not be the same as I have here. So don't complicate yourself. Just played with me and played with your materials, winter supplies, and get to know them so you can get the whole advantage for injured palette. Now we're going on the warmer side with these, all these reds, cadmium, red, red, orange, and rose mother. Those beautiful shades that we can find in autumn and pumpkin, or a autumn fruit or vegetable that we enjoy on this season of the year. We can mix all these scholars and get another chain and make them deep pigment if we want. So that is why we are doing these kind of exercises. So we get to know or need to do the same with the colors that you have at hand and with your favorite, favorite ones. And it will help you to get the better resource in your paintings. So yeah, they are dry. And you can see the vibrancy of this pigment and water colors. And this is the difference. When you are using high-quality watercolors as, when you are using very cheap and affordable ones. So this is the difference. There is nothing, nothing but having these cheap watercolor. But if you are more quality than they need to invest a little bit more for now, use whatever you have and try to get the best out of it. I will see you in the next video. 4. How To Paint the Pumpkins : Or colors are selected and they are dry and you can see the vibrancy on the pigments. And now we're ready to make some practices before we start painting our final pieces. So I will be playing with all these colored and I have fear, different sizes and types of brushes. We are going to be working with flat brushes and with round brushes. I have medius, big size, medium size, and a small size. Do can choose from your brushes. I have my watercolor paper to work on, and this is my workbook. And this is a very, very affordable type of paper. This is not the best quality, but it is perfect to make practices. And during the class we are going to be using a better quality watercolor paper, which is from cancer. You can use whatever paper you have, any style, any type, any quality. But for now we are going to be working on these beautiful workbook where we are going to be practicing how to paint or pump kings before we do the real job. So I have my left over palette here with my left, our colors from my palette for this painting. And some are just to play with a little bit. I hope you have fun with me and that you have your paper ready angel, different sizes of brushes. I will start with a flat brush. This is a small size. I think this is a number four, but it depends on the brand that you have. The sizes are always interchanging. I can not tell you exactly. Use this number because maybe the brand that you have is bigger or smaller. And we're going to start by tracing the middle part of the pumpkin with our brush. If you have a referendum picture or a real pointing. Besides, it will help you to make this shape and just tracing with my flat brush a oval shape in the middle. Then with my smallest brush, I will trace like shapes on both thighs size of these fish shape that I painted. Using a very light wash of color. To start painting these. Then we are going to add another C-shape a little bit above of the ones that I painted. And then I will start to join those end part below my pumpkin. Then we are going to be painting like small C shapes on the back from the pumpkin. And then we are going to be adding or the stem from our pumpkin like this. Doing this could've shape from our stamp. And then we are going to be adding a little bit of pigment to create more structure on art punk. Making sure that we leave all those white space, white spaces on the pumpkin. And training to emulate the shape of the real pumpkin. As you can see, I didn't sketch the pumpkin before, but this is my preference. If you are not comfortable, comfortable painting with your brushes, then you can trace the sketch before you start painting. I left that up to you, but this is my way of doing the paintings. Normally I enjoy doing it this way. But if you feel more comfortable doing the sketch before, then you're very welcome to do it. Asked you prefer. I didn't just playing here with the chase and the values of my colors and adding some shades on the pumping to give it a little bit more of extraction. We are not painting this pumpkin here to the perfection with all the data. We're just getting to know how it is easier for us, the brain, the pumpkins. And as you can see, you, they just needed four steps to paint this beautiful small pumpkin with this small size brushes. And I use the additional colors for pumpkin, which are in the colors are orange and reds. So we are getting warm up to make or beautiful paintings. So this is the fiercest demo on how you can paint your pumpkin. Let's see the second one, and we're using bigger brushes. This is a number ten, flood brush, number six, round brush. Let's see how are bunking will turn out. So we can work. Beautiful. Pumpkin for this one, I am using a green color in a very light, light it swash. So we have the first layer of our pumpkin. I'm doing the same. Just this time the brush is a bigger, a oval shape to start with in the middle. And then just shaping these with my brush. Then with my round brush. Number six, here, I will paint the C shapes on the sides of my fears shape. So easy it is. We're just creating the shape because we don't have the sketch pumpkin underneath or watercolor. And then adding the second C-shape. So we have five C-shaped on the front of our pumpkin, then joining in the ends below the bunking and then going on the bug. Just making it more try three-dimensional. Using this like a small seed shapes, the buck. And then we can paint the stem using the deep brown and making the stamp this way, filling up the space. So it looks like coming from the pumpkin. As we asked, they are in real life. Now, I will add some the dark color using the same che, sap green. And just get the, getting an idea on how my pumpkin with Luke. Remember we are not making here or the bumpkins with all the details. We're just having a taste on how we can play it with our colors. And as you can see, it's so easy. Solely the steps you need to paint pumpkins. We are just shaping. And then with shadows and more pigment than we can create a beautiful shape for our new n is the same color. So you can play with whimsical colors as we are going to be doing in the next video. And I will see you in the next video. 5. Painting Pumpkins Different Sizes: Now I will use a flat brush number five in a bigger brush, number ten to paint the next pumpkin. Using these two brushes, I will start with the flat brush, and I will use the colored blue and Prussian blue. And I will start as we have been doing. And I want this to be a elongated pumpkin. Denote this tape of pumpkin that are more long than the typical pumpkin. Using this beautiful shape. With my brush, with my round brush, I will proceed to paint the shapes on the size, making it very long. The last one, a little bit behind. On the shapes. You're going to always correct shape with your watercolor. When they are still wet. I am making it the shape. And then I will add some more pigment to make the color more three-dimensional. Now we're painting the stem as we have been doing during the class using sap, green 0 PD, believing, believing. In this case, how easy it is. Just a oval shape on the medium and then C shapes on the sides and you have your pumpkin. So now I will add some shadows and more pigment to make the bunking more beautiful. I didn't like how this blue bumpkins looks like. And maybe for another class, I will use more whimsical colors for the pumpkins. Let me know in the comments section for the class, if you will love to see this, we can make whimsical pumpkins or something like that. And they will turn out very beautiful. Happy. How easy it is Bond kings. And I hope you get the point here on how to make with your brushes UP default shapes of kings. And I can't wait to see what you create. Now that we have our three pumpkins, let's paint some autumn and four elements. Just to practice and just to use the colors that we have on autopilot. And for this I will be using a round brush. And I will show you how I paint some leaves. This is not perfection of course. But you can try. I do a line and then I paint some perpendicular lines. And then I am using a very, very light wash of this olive green. And then I will go around and grab those lines with other lines to make the shape of a autumn leaves. And it is very easy. And you have to leave. Here, it's a bit bigger. Leaves. This is not a perfect leaf, but you get the idea on how to paint these leaves in a more easy and loose way. Then I will add some colors inside to see how they are, how they look on the paper. Using that technique, wet on wet. So I'm just wetting my paper and now I will start adding the ocher yellow. Because we are painting this autumnal leaves. When the leaves us are starting to turn into the new costume of what Tom. We're just playing with the color. We're not making any perfect leaves. So just go with the flow and paint as you wish. You can use other colors. The mercury in the mortal reds and browns on ochre. Just try to use your watercolors. Adding some thought just off black or deep brown to make these imperfections that the autumn leaves normally half. Just to get an idea. My bank that is so wet that I cannot make it the details. I will let this dry and then we can add some details. Are a little bit of green here, but it looked a little bit muddy. So maybe it's not a good idea. But let's see. When it's dry, maybe it will be better. And this is the whole point of these practices. So you see how the colors react and how they look together, and how you can improve them or get the best out of it. So I will continue planning and I will see you in the next video. 6. Doodles: The Fall Elements: While the yellow leaves is drying, let's paint the most iconic list. For autumn. I released my brush as my fine liner, and I will start with a very light wash, wash of color. I will trace a line. This is the stem. And then I will find a point around the middle of the lifts. And then I will trace a perpendicular line going up in another small one going to the site. And I will do the same on the other side. From the exact same point I found in the first line I trace. Then with my brush, I will adjust abrupt those lines. Simulating beliefs check. So this way you can paint in these beautiful leaves. That is the most, the most iconic one. During autumn. The maple leaf. Now you have it under beautiful maple leaves. Now we are going to be adding colors to this just to see how it looks. And I understand deal with this commune dread. And then doing some demos with all the shades for the leaves. Normally when this, when this elif or changing colors they are red and yellow, ocher and Angie and even getting in some part. And then when they are complete than they are fully read. The process of changing colors on the trees happens. So fast. One day you go around and the trees are green, and then the other day they are turning colors. And this is like overnight, they start changing the colors. And very, very fast. They will start to fall on the ground. It is a beautiful season and it is very quick. So if you have the opportunity to have Autumn inter-country or where you live, enjoy the season. Don't miss a dose changes. Because of those. Changes on nature signifies the changes in yourself and in the world and around you. So pay attention and be a witness for that magical phenomena that we have the fortune to experiment. I didn't just adding colors, just to see how they react. This is just me playing with my colors and I do to this rigid watercolors. You will get to know your beautiful tools. Then adding some awkward yellow mixed with the red. And moving the color around. So it makes and blend. Go around the whole leaf. And you will get a sense on how you will want to paint your leaves. When we are working on the final piece. Adding more pigment. So the color shines. And seeing how they react. On the paper. The watercolor is wet. You can move them or change the value. So be aware of the situation on your paper. You can see that I can shape the shapes of the leaves, making it more pointy or elongated. This is the magic of using watercolors to create your paintings. And it is best if you know them, you know how to treat them. So they get the best of its qualities. I think it is enough for now. And now we can paint another elements of autumn, which ad some berries because they make beautiful contrast on the paper. Now the leave is that I will try to paint the stem. Justice to look how this color looks onto the jello base. That's it. Nothing fancy, nothing. Perfect. Now we can proceed to paint. All the elements are paper. And I will use the brown here, the deep brown to make some acorn. And this is another very easy element. Just using the brush as a fine liner. And trying to make the shape of an egg is pretty easy to paint. Then letting it dry and see how the colors making some texture. And then proceeding. I'm painting some basics. Now we're painting using the burnt sienna to make the branch. So I can paint some little berries. For varies. These are the most decorative elements you can use for your paintings. Just a branch in some dots. The deeps. And it is so easy. And they're so beautiful. And you can use whatever colors you want to make it more decorative. So for now I think it is all the elements that we can Use painting. And I will see you in the next video. 7. Doodle: Fall Elements and Outlining: Let's add some leaves on this side just to practice, remember we're just doubling here, some fall elements. And I am making the stem using the brown deep. And then I will paint some leaves using the greens. See how they look. You can add any elements that you prefer. These are just ideas and we're just the other link here. To see what we can use for our final composition that we are going to be working during this class. These are, these around getting a terminal green leaves that defined even in winter. They are very beautiful and decorative. Just add in some light swash of this green and looking and trying to make them look harmonious with the whole composition that we have here, with all our banking thin and the other four elements that we have painted. This is looking very nice. I will let this dry. And now we are going to be trying some outlines. In this class I, and not focusing on outline, I weren't a more loose and just watercolor painting and it has my fine liner. And I will just add the outline, very light. This is a very fine, fine liner, 0.5 because I don't want the lines to be too big. Because when you use a thicker lines, then endure painting with local more like a cartoon. We want to make this banking more delicate. And in cute. Normally you will start by outlining is your subject before adding the colors. But I wanted to show you first how it look without the outlining. And it is looking pretty nice, pretty cute. I really like this as well. And I will also add some outline to the leaves that we painted here. And see how they. You can combine as well these two methods. And see if your composition looks really nice. For the class. I will show you the whole composition only using watercolors without outlining or sketching. Then I will show you the same composition using the outline. And then you can decide which one you want to create for the class, for your class project, which I cannot wait to see what you create. Just adding some stems inside the leaves to get them a little bit more of X structure. I think we are letting these here to come play further. Make all the style of bonk kings or other elements. But for now, I think the modeling is done. Now you have the basics and we can proceed to the next PBL. And I started painting paintings. 8. Tracing The Pumpkins First Layer: Now it's time to start painting or bumpkins composition. I have here my paper fixed on the solid phase. And I have all the other things that I need, the brushes taking down what are the other colors? And my mixing palette. With the less left over scholars. I went to have an idea, first of all, where I want to start this composition and why would I want to finish? Did you remember we painted the, all the types of pumpkins. What I want to make, the bigger on the center and the other small pumpkin swan on the sides. And then add the fall elements. Let's start with a bigger brush, flat brush, using a very light swash of color. And then using the ocher one to make the sketch with our watercolor. And we'll start by painting with a brush, a oven, bigger, oval on the medium, and then shaping it as a pumpkin. This need to be very light in color. So afterwards, we are going to be adding the more pigment. And now I have my bigger brush, round brush, and I would see shapes on the size of the fish shape. I painted here, the orbital shape. I would do this elongating the CEJ because I want these to be the biggest pumpkin. You can always reshape. And the good thing is that you are using a very light color here. So we paint as we did in the practice in the back of the pumpkin. We shape or banking as we want. This is a big pumpkin, so we are using the big brushes we have. Now I will sketch the stem using a very light wash of the brown, filling up the spaces. So it looks very realistic. We're not adding detail yet. We're just start to create or composition. This is the fierce bunking, the big one, the one in the middle. Now I have a medium size flat brush and we are going to be painting the second medium, pumpkin on the set. On the right side. In this case, I am using a very light wash of olive green to paint this pumpkin. In using a medium-size round brush to complete the shape. Adding the C-shaped on the sides. I want this to be touching my biggest, my biggest pumpkin. So I will make sure that they do. And then on the other side, the C-shape and then joining on the below, joining with my center shape, and then the backside of my pumpkin. So I have a guide line when I proceed to paint that yet at the things and so on. Now, I am doing a very long stem using a very light switch off, deep brown. Now I'm using the smallest flood brush to paint the small pumpkin on the left side of my biggest pumpkin. Doing the same steps. Starting in the middle, doing the oven, and then adding the shapes until I have this pumpkin shape. Then added the back part of the bunking. And finally we can add the stem. You can see how easy it is to create its shape only using your watercolors. This is what I want to show you in this part of the class, that you can easily make Derby different composition, only using your watercolors. And now we paint the stem using a very light color shade of getting. I have this center part or the basic for my composition. Now, I will add little bit of the four elements using a very fine brush to make my sketch. Using a deep brown swatch. Not too dark because we just want to trace the outline. Then we are going to be adding the color and it will be super easy. So I didn't adding here like a wine style. And then I will add some branches to paint the berries. And then I will paint a leaf. And then name. This is just to have an idea of placement. And here we can paint a autumn leaf, as we did in the practices. A line and then adding some stems. This is not the maple leaf. This is the other one, the yellow one. And then we brought up or lead the lines with more lines to create this beautiful shape. So now we're set to start adding the colors and then decide how big will add more elements. I will see you in the next video. 9. Painting The Big Pumpkin : It's time to start adding the second layer. And I want to use my bigger brush to paint, starting with a big pumpkin. And we're just adding a layer of clean water. So we have a wet surface where we're going to start adding our second layer. This is our big pumpkin. This is the centerpiece of our composition. So we're going to start adding the second layer using this orange color. Not too dark just yet, because we are going to be adding many layers to this piece. So the pumpkin gain, a structure and a very beautiful effect. Going to be using fears, this orange color. Then we are going to be adding another chance to make the shadows. And to bring this to a very appealing effect. Adding the color in lasers help us to make the color vibrant. Or the piece. In this case, the pumpkin, doesn't look flat on the paper. But more like dry dimensional or three-dimensional. We're keeping these layers of color in a very light way. Making the lines as I am doing here. And then moving them with the brush. On. That round brush retains a lot of water. This is the reason why the colors run. When you go through the painting with a brush. And if you keep adding the ledgers, when injured painting is still wet, it is easier for you to accomplish the perfect shade that do really want to achieve in your painting. We're keeping adding pigment here and then moving them through the pumpkin with our brush. Be very gentle. Doesn't need to press your brush. Just just let the color goes that way, didn't meet the goals. And when you're painting is still wet, the color we go there. If you notice that your painting is getting dry, just add a little bit of water into a brush and continue moving. The color. This is like a dense. So you need to let your partner. Here is the watercolor and dirt. But other parent is the brush. But the main partner is still hand. Maintain your hand very loose. And you will see that the colors in the painting, the way to what we are, continue adding more pigment it corner. And the painting at this moment is eight per cent dry. And it is a very important part. Because then the pigment with we will not fade. It will keep it vibrancy. This goes drying. And we want this color to be very bright because this orange pumpkins, Hokkaido pumpkins, I know that is called here. And the ones that people use for, for Halloween, pumpkins, that color we're looking for here. Now, you can see that the pigment is becoming more and more bright. It is because the underlayer getting dry or color stays on the paper and then fade away. And that is what we want. And we are continually, continuously adding colors. And you can see that IN letting some spaces and more light, it does is because I want to create some light effects, effects. So it is a continuous waiting. In this process, I will let the painting a little bit dry. So I will continue with the stems using my deep, but it will start adding the lines and the second layer to create the stem. No worry, we are going to be adding many layers to this. And I am using a smaller round brush, as you can notice here. So it is easy for me to go to those places. Throughout. The color. This time is always more directed at the bottom and knighted at the, at the, we're off the stem. Maintain this ratio on the values of colors. Very gentle and very, very low. You don't need to rush. This is a meditative process and they need to allow the colors to do their own magic. Now, with my smaller brush, I will continue adding the theory of four layered now. And trying to make these sections of the pumpkin. This lines symbolizes the section of this of the face of the bunking. As you can see in the real pumpkins, They have like sections. And that is what we're looking for here. So I need my brush to be almost dry. The color, the color as well. So we are just defining this section here with these lines in a more darker pigment. It orange. In, at this time, at this moment of the process of painting, it is important that you let time to dry a little bit, not completely, but almost dry. So the pigment to fix sense to the paper. And as you can compare, when we started, now, it is looking very Brett. So I will continue now with this second pumpkin. I will see you in the next video. 10. Painting The Medium Pumpkin: Now it's time to paint and then medium pumpkin. And we're using for this, the olive green. And we add a stepped into the second layer. I then using the medium round brush. And I'm just going through all the lines. The phases as we're making the sections of the pumpkin. Like tracing the outline with our brush. Barely gentle. We want this to be more easy to see and then add the colors pink of this process as if you are out of alignment. Do pumpkin with your brush, and then go through the sections with a little bit of color and water. Assent to weighting those lines, making them darker. So it started to gain mod, structure. Our biodiversity on colors for banking. So don't hesitate to use another color or shape for the rankings. Remember, this is just a suggestion for a painting. But the idea is that you use your creativity and that you create unique, beautiful paintings. You can reshape just bunking anytime while the paper is wet. But if the paper is too wet, then the color will just dilute and faith. So you need to give a little bit of water control here. So didn't damage the paper for going too many times with the brush onto the same space. That is where you need to wait. Sometimes longer than others. And it depends on the quality of the paper. When the paper, the water, then the color is starting to show up more. There we are adding the third layer on a bunking to give it a more structure. Pradesh is to your best friend here. So gentle with it and go very gentle on your paper. These processes only to add more pigment and make those sections of debunking more visible. It takes time, but then the returns are always a pleasure. To the eye. You're going to use another color if you prefer. But for these, I choose the olive green because it resembles some things that I saw in the supermarket. We are almost finished with the third layer of color. I love the account, but do need to go with the flow and see how the colors are looking like counting the leg it. So enjoy the process. But I am thinking that this is a good point to start considering, stopping with the lenders and let the painting dry a little bit so we can then continue later. Adding in, making the corrections are making the painting not too flat, two-dimensional or three-dimensional. And then we can proceed. The paint, the stem. While painting is rising. As you will see, the colors are mixing very well. And we have this section. What do we want? At the same time, you can see are bigger pumpkin, how the colors are becoming more brighter. And then we're going back to them for the details and correcting the colors. I'm using for this ten, a very dark green be DVM, who is the name? And I am making this line, so I have this section on the stem. Then just with water, I will move, I will move the colored. So some places are darker than the others. When we start adding the details do we'll see how this transform realistic stem is. You have the opportunity to go to a pumpkin patch. Go because this is a beautiful experience. And I hope you have a nice weather when you decide to go. If you can, just watch some videos and you will have the same feeling or in the supermarket and you can go and see the beautiful paintings. I then add in some shadows here to make the stem structure. But we will adding more details to this later when it is more the dye. For now we're going to let this dry and we are moving on on painting this minus pumpkin. And I will see you in the next video. 11. Painting The Small Pumpkin: For the smallest item using the smallest brush. And I'm using the red color for this. So I get more deepness on this corner. My painting is wet. I painted it with water before. And now I can just add in this section lines and going through afterwards with my brush damper in water to move the color Juno distance situation here. I want this to be a very cute clip, pumpkin, reddish orange, pumpkin. I will mix these colors to make the pigment that they weren't adding some yellow here. And making this model the reddish orange color. This is the wonderful things of color. You can mix them and obtain a new shape. Some lead in these white spaces that symbolizes the section on the bunking and make the light effects. We want this to be pretty bright. So we will let this dry a little bit before adding more red on the section lines. And going with the flow on that mixing of this course. The blending is that they have is always so beautiful. Okay, For this other layer, we are going to be using a smallest Burdash and we're going to be using cadmium red. This is a very deep dread. And we are going very slowly on the lines, only on the lines with these colors. So we create this more elevated structure on our painting is like adding shadows. So the pumpkin really show up in this beautiful shade of red. This marks the section of pumpkin. As you can see, goes in another dimension. Really fascinating how just using your brush or their painting in a different way can make a big difference in how your painting. It looks like. We're having this beautiful shades and going very slowly embedded gentle on the paper. Now we're going to be painting the stem with permanent green. This is saying John, pumpkin. So the colors are more like new colors. Going through the whole S then with our color, permanent green. And then in the next videos, we are going to be adding details. So let this dry. 12. Adding Details To The Pumpkins: Okay, or painting is dry and we're ready to add the structures, details or paint. Starting with green pumpkin, the medium pumpkin, I will start adding some structure and texture to the, to the section lines with my smaller brush. Using this technique, like adding point with my dry brush and my dry paint. So they pop up on the paper. We'll charge you more close. So just see what motion using to paint in these dots. It really gets gifts. Another level of texture to the pumpkin and doesn't, and it doesn't look so flat as it was looking like before. Now you see as soon as this dry and then more dots that I add to this little pumpkin, it will be totally, totally different and more beautiful. I am using the olive green. And you see that it is super dark. And this is a good combination for our structure. Bunking. When you look at this real pumpkins and real life, they had lead bumps. And like I mentioned, and three-dimensional really looks like that. This is what we are going or we are trying to create here or bunking. It looks more texturize. So easy. Just maintain a read them. So don't get fast and do start to paint too big dots. If you feel tired than just rest and come back later. Because this can be a little bit time-consuming. So don't rush into this, just let it be. And do we have a really nice texture? Try to make some clusters and you are going up, then tried to separate the dot. That is the only rule that you need to follow here. And take your time, because this can be a very long process depending on the size of your pumpkin. This is a medium-size on this paper. But if you are working in a bigger size, then it will take a lot of time. You can be smart. Paint this on this more or less. Parking. Been normally when you see this in the supermarket, the ones that have these bumps at the beginning ones are, they're getting white ones. So this is why I wanted to charge you with this one, with this pumpkin. Do as many bumps or dots as two. See it is needed and then go and start painting some details on the stem. Just tracing the lines following the direction of the of the stem and then go backwards. Because to make this effect of that is like Darn. And you will see that Egypt pumpkin will be, will look like this. But actually it's very small. It's an doubled zero, but it depends on the brand that you use. I can continue with the same brush. And now we are going to be adding some details on the big pumpkin using a very deep concentration of orange. Going through the section lines to create this shadow that will allow us to form the beautiful shape of our pumpkin. You can use a bigger brush if you prefer. I am mixing a little bit of red, so the orange becomes more brighter. For this effect. I will go through all the lines, the section lines, trying to have my brush as dry as possible. But if I need water, then just take a little bit with your brush and go through the lines. So you see n log n. The effect is a really beautiful. This is our biggest, biggest, biggest pumpkin. So it takes more time for the finish effect. But you can see that it is ligands, the defendant as when we started. And this is the magic of watercolors. Adding more and more and more legs. And going through all this section, lines, mixing red with orange to gain more deepness on the color. We're just creating the base. And then we are going to be going with the brush through the hard bunking. So these hard lines that you're seeing now will be self-study. And the colors will blend perfectly. As you know, I always left my glasses on. Glia die either SP that diabetes. Because I want you to really have the feeling that you are painting with me, the mod seven and you can't really learn while doing. So. I hope you are doing your class project. And I can't wait to see what you create. It is always a pleasure to see your work. And it makes me really happy to get to know what to do. And how to do is we want to create a little bit of channels on some places of our pumpkin because they give the bunking more structure. And it looks more realistic. I think now we are ready with this. And I will let, let this dry and continue with you in the next BPO. 13. The Fall Elements: We are going to be starting with the yellow leaf. And I didn't using ocher, dilute the paint this leaf. Starting just with my wet brush on dry. Paper. Wet on dry. Is this technique. The corner move really easily and the paper in a second notice I'm leaving a white space because I want to add another color. So the blending give me a more beautiful tone, a little bit of olive green. This to be more darker because some of these lists have these imperfections and thus is what I want to create with this leaf. We are not going on the perfection of these leaves. Because this class is about pumpkins, not leaves. Just to have some elements on the painting. Going through all the lines with the color. And I will add a little bit more of this ocher, yellow that it is a little bit more darker. To make more dramatic effect on this left butt He Ci is completely dead. Now we are going to be painting berries. And for the Dionysian, they're red. The red berries. And a symbol of autumn and winter season. You can find them everywhere. Even in degradations for the home. By two can choose another color for the berries, blackberries or violet berries, orange berries. Whatever, Egypt different. It is completely okay. And now we're adding some leaves, getting ones and yellow ones. So old painting looks super colorful because this is a very conifer season. This season of autumn and fold is so beautiful in colors. In it is like preparing us for the winter when there is no color, almost. So they give us a very bright, vibrant colors. And then they always goes. And adding all the leaves. Two or little line here below the pumpkin. So we create a more frame. Painting and Gibbs, also more perspective. Now the bumpkins look like they are behind it binds. And Margot has, if it looks the composition until now, the colors are so beautiful. And you can find greens and ocher, and yellows and reds and orange pronouns, and then that. And then all of a sudden, you don't see anything because all the trees lose their leaves. And the winter begins. But for now we're enjoying the beautiful colors in, right into the present with them. As long as a day last week, let them show us and teaches us beautiful lessons about life. Your campaign, this another way, if you prefer, you can make these green or red. It all depends on the contrast that you want to create. I will add some details to the park in some veins to them. Some veins like this. So they look more the collective or decorated. But let's say using the green che and painting them on all of our bunk kings. Using my smallest brush, this model is that to have two can use as well. So we're ready to add more details. And I will see you in the next video. 14. Fall Elemets Details: Time to paying our mapping. Here on the upper side. On the left. We are going to be starting as we did in the practice. Aa, BB, tracing a line, this is the stem of the leaf and then finding a point in front, they're tracing the other lines parallel to the middle one and then two that are perpendicular. And two smaller ones at the lower part of. And then we're going to be starting, do need to have 1234567 lines. And we're going to use that to put wrapping all these little lines. And so we have our beautiful maple leaf. How easy it is. You can also have a leaf and then paint from there. But for this, we can paint this leaf this way, is it's super easy and super fast. And then we are going to be adding the color inside or leaf. And for this we are going to be using that reads the color red and maybe the yellow to create a little bit of contrast. We want this color to be very bright, very deep. So we are recently, we're starting on the point of orderly and trying to shape them as pointy as they are. With our brush. I'm using a medium-size round brush. You can use any size of brush that you have. Because we're just adding the color. Whatever is easier for you to use that. We want this to be pretty dark. So we are trying to have control on how they want that amount. Going. See embedded, Embedded slow. So we don't go too much with the color. And we are letting a piece space on y so we can add a second color. I. Then making this a little bit longer. As you can see, it is not a perfect leaf. And that is okay because nature is not perfect, the nature of imperfections. Now we can add the dealer deep and meets with. The blending is beautiful and the colors is very beautiful as well. We're just adding more clad to make them blend. Mode. Shape. The point of the leaves. The yet very pointy. So it is a good idea to not round on the point. So we don't lose the shape. It is looking like a maple leaf. Now. With its seven bind now or composition we send most ready to. We're just looking at it and finding those spots where we want to add more details. You can leave it here, add some splashes and that is it. But I want to add some leaves. And some Marbury's starting here adding some green leaves. On the side of my, of my green pumpkin. Two threes. On this side. And then looking where I can add, I know that they are another element. Then using the olive green for these shaping my leaf. Now I will add some leaves on the left side, on the side of the small pumpkin. The same way. Just to give more cohesiveness to my painting and to give time to use or elements. Now I think we can add other elements over here. Maybe some berries using the kidney and tracing some branches to make the batteries using the color. But he liked. And then adding some gentle Belize to make contrast on this side of our painting before bed. And now we can add some leaves on the branches of order. Barely branch. So it looks more full and cohesive. For the leaves, I'm using the color green, permanent and my smallest brush. Because these are tiny leaves. I am really liking how these are looking like. My composition is very cohesive. Now, I think we need some other leaves and a couple of batteries, and then we're done with this composition for now. We just need to add them some details on the leaves. And we're done. Here. I will add the other berries using the ocher, yellow, and the berries are red. And other leaves over here, using the olive green leaves would be enough. The second leaf and then the lines inside the leaves. And then we can let it a little bit dry and then add a color inside. I will add some shadows underneath the punk kings to give them a surface. You see the brown deep and a very light shade and going underneath the punk kings. So it looks like they add onto a surface and not floating on the air. Just like that. Lung it too much. Betty, betty light going through there, three pumpkins. And does this ordinate to go into the leaves as well, creating some shadows, give deepness. But anybody right? Now we are ready to add a little bit Model T that's inside the leaf. Using a small brush. Going inside the width or olive green. You can also use black or brown by the for this, because the stain is in this column, I would use this code. Going for the point. Betty gentle. And here I have too much paint. The stems a little bit imperfect, but it doesn't matter. So this is looking begging, nice. Now we can add some dots. So it looks more natural and just elongate in the lines. So it looks more structure. Now, the dots n We add. Done. I will see you in the next video. 15. Final Details and Reveal: Let's add the final details. And then we're done. Here on the leaves. I'm going through the light with my green. To make these leaves more structure. Just with the stems. I will do the same with all the leaves that we need to finish the piece. Going through the whole shape of these leaves. So they look more structured. I didn't listen. They're very small. Brush again because this is easier and it works like a fine liner. I did some shadows here around the leaves. This leaves the inside stamps. This lines to define the shape of the leaf as well on this side. Just making this mod finish. The last one is adding lungs inside this model lives. Just to give them some structure. Not too much detail here. You can do the details if you prefer. I am just making very simple. And lastly, feeling with the color with my brush is wet and Diane just moving the color of these ones. No need to add more color. Now, finishing up this step of my small pumpkin, now that it is completely dry, you can see how they look, changes when we add some details. Martin, beautiful. Now we're complete. And this is the final piece of the whole pumpkin composition using watercolors, no sketching and no outlining or elements. I hope you enjoyed this process as much as I did chatting with you, and I will see you in the next. Be there. 16. Outlined Pumpkin Composition: Here you have an outline it composition. It is the same as P painted in the previous video, are only using watercolors. And in this, you are going to be downloading these resorts in the class projects and resources section for this class, just click this link and you will be able to download this sames composition so you can work with me and you will have the same final piece, but with the outlined. It will be more easy for you and you just need a fine liner to trace a composition in your watercolor paper. I did that already. And you can use a pencil if you prefer. And then do the outline with the fine liner. And it is very easy. You just need to download this printers and then transfer to your watercolor paper before you start painting with watercolors, it is very important that they use, just use watercolor paper. So the colors and the water doesn't damage. If you use another paper. I will see you in the next video. 17. Watercoloring The Outlined Pumpkin Composition: So I have here my outline it, composition. And I will start painting from left to right, starting with the leaf and then going with it, are the elements that I have in my composition as we have just painted, or complete composition with watercolors. In this video, I will be speeding up in some part of the process because you have seen how it works. And for this ion is in the color red using the technique wet on wet. I have already go through my whole live with my wet brush. And now I can add a fifth layer of color. This is a very dark, one of the cadmium red to be specific. But you can use any type of thread and you will be adding more layers thing getting the deepness in the current that do what? Now I am adding some ocher in the center to make a beautiful blend. And as you can see, the outline is showing up on the colors. Now, let's proceed to paint the leaves on the left, and then the pumpkin, the small pumpkin. And for the color I didn't using occur. Because these are the colors of autumn. We are going to be keeping this palette. Just adding color using the technique wet on wet again, and using my small round brush. Now, I would repainting the pumpkin. And in this pumpkin, I will be using the color BD. Then this green is very beautiful. Then I then starting with the outline, just going through my color. In using the technique wet on dry, my paper is completely dry. And when I finished all the lines, I will add jello, this permanent yellow, because I want this to be a more light in color. Pumpkin. Young also painting this term, a fifth line it, using the brown sienna, burnt sienna. Now with our big pumpkin and then changing the brush because I want a bigger brush, round brush, and I'm starting to paint with the orange color. And I will do this process until I have a very bright and beautiful orange. And then I will add some red and cadmium red on the lines to define the sections on my pumpkin using now that red one. Unless you see it, you can see the video is speed up. Because we had done the whole process in real time during the class. Now you can see how I am adding that led to make the shadows. So my section on the pumpkin look better, define and beautiful. Then going with my brush and moving the color. So the color doesn't make heart the lines. This is a very nice and beautiful process and you can see the colors are very vibrant. Now, let's paint the leaves. And I will be using my permanent green, very light green. And I will go through the leaves and the stem of my pumpkin. Again, just changing a slightly the colors that we use in the previous painting. But it is the same process. Now I'm adding some olive green to make the stem a little bit more darker. And as you can see, I use a very fine, fine liner. So the lines on my pumpkins are not so thick and they delegate. But two can use a thicker line. If you prefer. This is just a matter of preference. Now let's paint the medium pumpkin in, IN it using the ocher, yellow just to make a, another type of pumpkins, the ones that has these colors. And I will add some darker spots around the lines. So my section of the bunking looks defined and get them more structure to my painting. We are getting the beauty of food, j of ocher. And now I will paint the stem using the deep brown, making it darker on the bottom and lighter at the top. Again, adding just a little bit here to make this imperfection on the bunks. Now, let's continue with their lives. Ins and red. To make contrast with the color dye that I already had on my paper. Now we're painting the little berries and the leaves using the same and the same cadmium red. And I will try to paint all of them, making correction or adding more colors, but I think they need e.g. in these leaves. Maintaining had money in the whole composition and the colors that do are using. So I will see you in the next video. 18. Last Details and Reveal: Now I will paint the last leaf using burnt sienna, ocher yellow. To make a contrast in these colors. You can use the same terms as I am using, or you can use the same as we did in the previous composition. I am just showing you how it will look is if you use fine liner or outlining in your painting. And as well as this, it is more easy to paint. And then adding the yellow in the leaves, because remember, it's autumn. And Adams had this beautiful color palette interchanging with olive green and making the beautiful contrast in all these beautiful colors. Continue with the other leaves of my branches and finishing up some details on the other elements that I have here. I am using this occurred to paint these leaves and make contrast. The whole composition. This is olive green and yellow. They make very beautiful and autumn like color. So now I will add some shadows underneath the backings to give a little bit of structure in perspective and making them. And you can see how they outline giant through the corners. And it looks very different than the other one back. Beautiful as well. It is just a matter of preference on how to paint paintings. I am going through the elements, I think a little bit of shadow. And now with my fine liner number 0.5, I will add some details on the stems to make them look more like the real ones. And this gives another dimension, the painting going around with the lines on the stem and add-ins. Other details there where I think we need to add some details to decorate or parkings. Entered painting. I will at some point, some dot in this little pumpkin. And I will remark the lines here. And that's on imperfections. Password in the big banking, some dots. These are just highlighting the pumpkin. Those little dots here and there. Near the lines. Retracing some lines. Because the watercolor sometimes covers it to match. So retrace them. I'm very likely not too dark or deep. Just go again with fine liner. The same with the leaves here. Adding some imperfections are these little marks that the real lives. And they pop up pretty nicely. This is it. Our outer lining. Painting of packings is done. And you can notice the difference. And really clearly. And I will charge you that both of them. So I will see you in the next video. 19. The Class Project: So if you're seeing this video is because you have completed the hot glass and I congratulate you for making the effort.
