Hello There, this is Dr. Arbia Sultana. An Artist based in Bengaluru, India. I have always loved making art since a little kid, but with time I was busy building my professional career. This pandemic i.e. in 2020 I went back chasing my passion for art. Believe me or not every single day in pandemic I used to paint with watercolours at least for 30 minutes this was like a meditation for me every night before bed. Since then I have improved so much. One of my colleague told watercolour is so hard to work with. Its actually tricky but not hard. Just to teach such people who wants to learn this medium but find it difficult I am here with new classes with loads of tips and tricks. Do check them out and follow me for more.

Transcripts

1. Introduction : Abstract art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of reality, but instead uses shapes, Carlos, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect. Vogelstein, this free-spirited is to take that mixes different cultures and artistic expression into an electric style with an emphasis on organic elements in nature. We will be combining these two together that is more hostile to make this beautiful paintings. Hello. This is RBI, Silvana, or teacher and an artist. Judy. We will be painting these full gorgeous paintings. Along with that, we will be looking into the materials required and how to paint this main things and doing truly happy learning and happy creating. Join me now and let's get started. 2. Materials Required : Now we will be looking into the materials required. As you all know, I love this beginner friendly watercolor paper. That is Canson 300 GSM, cold press watercolor paper. I'll be dividing this A5 size people into two halves in a vertical manner so that it can be used as a bookmark. You can exactly cut out the paper according to your choice. I just don't want to eat the people. Looking into the other materials, we will be using a masking tape of 1 " along with that Sharpie Black Marco, Marco. And also our black 0.5 psi spin. If you have these markers, you can always print them using a pointed tip brush. You can also use a black pen instead of exact foreign A5 size spend. The next element is the mixing palette. To dispense the Carlos and use the colors. I'll be using your peasant artist grade Brewster wash paints. You can use acrylic and watercolors to D3, Carlos, I'll be using for the first set of printing as fleshed out in pain. And I really black. The next three colors, I'll be using ropes, kylo, saddling blue. And deal with these materials. I'll be using two jars of clear water and or tissue or accordance. And also, I'll be using a flat brush, round brush of size ten. I believe these materials will be available with you guys. So grab your supplies and let's begin. 3. Aesthetic painting : Let's begin with our first painting. Let me just step down the people with the masking tape. You can use caused by tape. Make sure you tape it down in a straight manner so that when you remove the frame doesn't look like asymmetrical. If the tape is too sticky, make sure you use it on plot before applying it on paper. One to apply the tape, make sure you go back and forth like that so that the paint doesn't come beyond the point. Now let me just dispense the paint and mixing Berlin. Firstly, I'll be using fleshed and next, I'll be using hot thing. Now using these two colors, I'll be painting the background using a flattened brush of size ten. And it'd be mixing flesh and blood, some water droplets, and making random shapes on the people. Abstract art means use of hello shapes, random designs, rather than actual design or shape, which represent something. So let's make some shape. The brush at the tip and making design corner of the paper. I have painted an S-shape and filling out the inside part. You can go ahead and make any shape square, rectangle. So cool, triangle, any shape. Once this is done on the corner, I'll go ahead and make the center of the people. Make sure you do it in a thick mat. Know if you're using watercolors and one in the background to be transmitted, then go ahead with it. Or use acrylic or gouache. If you don't know exactly how to make the shapes in paintbrush, then use benzyl and then go ahead and paint and not designed. Now, I'll go ahead and make a U-shape. And then Philip, as you can see, I have made only halfway you and that to an inverted one. I'm going ahead and filling the scene being in that you can just go ahead and make outline of U-shape also. Now I'll just go ahead and read that model and then make it into a circle. You can go ahead and make whatever shapes you like. Now, let me just shift them to the hot pink. It means it's being called an inverted P. And that will have fun. I will go ahead and fill in the space, at least make sure that the paint isn't ticked consistency to add the dad or trans fat. And one, as you might have known that Bosch can act as accurate as well as watercolor. It can be transplanted as well as opaque. So I need the opaque form meal in an inverted bell shape. Now once that is done, I'll go ahead and make one more you that was an interim left side and ending Indian in the left side. As you can see. That U-shape also. I'm trying to make the edges smoothed that then rough. As you know, this is a cold press paper so there'll be a texture. But I'm trying to make smooth, as much smooth as possible. Now on this randomly, some lines using a flat brush, I'll go head from bottom to top, just like that. No things might not look good now, but and then it might look better. So whatever you like this duster process and then keep going on the square also, I go ahead and try to make it a bit broader. Morning dose to not take consistency when everything is dry and let me just spend some black color. I'll go ahead and make leaves. The borehole. Art means making some organic, natural things. You can go ahead and add Florida too, but here I'm using black color to paint the leaves. Then Florence, we will paint flowers too. But right now leaves for me. Leaves firstly, I use already pointed brush. And slowly without that and without probing much pleasure, I'm dragging then so that there is a line form. And as you can see how I'm making a lever slowly dragging and then pressing hard so that the crystals spread. And then I'm dragging out and lifting it slowly. If you don't know how to paint the leaves, make sure you practice onto the prostate and then do it on this. See how easy it does. Firstly, small dragging and then spreading the Bristol and then slowly lifting it. Similar to the last leaf like Natalie, I'll go ahead and make one more from the top without any pressure, homemade a line and then slowly blood pressure and then spreading the Bristol and slowly lifting it. See how easy it is. If you're feeling difficult to do it on the left side, make sure you're done though, cardboard, and then you go ahead and do it. Left center, it still looks empty, so I'll go ahead and make some more leaves patterns in that time. And we are finally done with this painting. As you can see, it's minimalistic, but it does smoking so good. Now, remove the tape in a slant manner so that there's no ripping off of the paper. As you can see, there is of the same form. Since we have submitted to leave, please. The masking tape. Isn't it looking so we're all different. That's it. Yeah. And then this minimalistic painting. 4. Minimalistic Painting : Let's begin the painting number two, without wasting the masking tape and go ahead and they blindly use masking tape around the people. And also the other side of the day. I'll be using number one, which is already used. Once this is done, I'll be using the same combination of colors that is fleshed them. Thin and black. You can go ahead and spends more color as required. We can also use the fresh masking tape. It's not necessary that you do use it. I'm just using it because it wasn't used. And you can actually use it without spoiling Liping thing. So I have I'll be using flesh tint and we'll go ahead and light on the background. As you saw that I ensured the masking tape is really stick to the paper rather than there is buckling. Go ahead and apply the flesh and the people. Once it is bullied. I mean to say that it is, a mixture is applied. Then I'll go ahead and shift forward to the bladder. And then before that I'll make sure the edges up into n the paper is not completely dry. Sent me Dr. and I didn't go ahead and add black color and squishy. As you can see. Give me a piece to black shade of gray but not clean. You can make it into black or any shape for any Carlo. I'm going with the same color combination. You can apply it wherever you want. It's a beast in black. Cautious reactivating the previous South being mixture. So that's why it's giving that Kylo. I'll go ahead and make some squares all over. As you have notice, I have used flatten brush. You can go ahead and use round brush and make it as well as you know, or have used minimalistic brush set that is ramped up and flatten brush. If you don't have anyone on these, you can even need to. Now, I'll shift to the round brush and the paint Carlo. With this, I'll go ahead and make some sell goods in between the squares. If you don't know how to exactly make this open, make sure you're Dwight and the pencil and then fill it out with the paint. I see is three. So quizzes are worth more than ten. Already looks so good. Make sure those shapes adding in all trans fat and form and it's big. Now I'll be using this. You need to go white, go, and make some moving on to the black squares. We can go ahead and make any type of where I'm going with the lines. L-shape. Now when that's done, I'll shift over to our black pen. That is 0.5 psi is you can go ahead and use water type of brand new one. And I'll go ahead and make leaves with it. As you can see, make sure the paint doesn't dry before you do it, one of the leaf has ruined with this lonely, shy it, dry completely and then use it. I'll go ahead and make one in the left Central as well. You can make any type of leaf, banana leaf, or euros when I leave, anytime I'm going on the symbol one. And now from the unbound, but I'll go ahead and make one more. Since my pen go join with the wet paint and shift or with the Sharpie marker and then draw the rest of the leaf. Seemed. So looking good. If you want to do it with Sharpie, go ahead and make them mature. I feel that's looking good. Let's go ahead and remove the masking tape. Make sure you remote in a slant so that the paper doesn't drip off. And since the papers since the tape is already used, it on, the sticky as the fresh day will be smooth. Looking beautiful. Our second minimalistic abstract painting is done. 5. Leaves Design Painting : Okay, We are finally done with two paintings. Let's start with the third one. I'll be using a new combination that is, now I'll be using rose color. You can go ahead and use a pink color also are reddish pink. I'm using a proper rose color from blue stroke, wash, rinse. And along with that, I'll go with the two blues that is surrealism blue, and also arterials Carlo. You can go ahead and choose whatever combination you require. And also you can choose monochromatic colors like light purple, dark purple, and the most darkest. To. Amusing these three colors right now. The tubes actually blow out sometimes and cause the pain to leak out from backside. So make sure you press from behind to that the pain comes out and there's no blotting of the tube and there's no stage. This is what I have learned from this stock off rostral Gua Sha means that it will automatically bloats and then it leaks out. And while you press the pain from behind, it causes less off such leakages. Now I'll put the tape around the paper. Again, make sure you put it in a symmetrical fashion. Now I'll be using a round brush and then are similar to the first painting. I'll go ahead and make some leaves. As you can see how I'm making a leaf, take the most point is around rash and then fill it out completely, slowly or drag with light pressure. And then put some pressure and then drag it again and fill it out on the other side of the crystals aren't spreading that much. I'll go ahead and make some leaves. Are the people. You can make as much as you want. That's the other way of painting to talk. You can always draw it first and then fill it up to our goal by parts and buds, just like what I did. Whatever shapes you want, you can just go ahead and do it. Right now. I'm filling this with leaves, pink are the leaves. Now once that is done, I'll wash the brush thoroughly and shift to settle in blue. Make sure you add water in limited quantity and don't make it too watery. So it would look like watercolors. Let it be like, Oh gosh, I'm making here. Good. You can make how many ever so close to 11 in the corner. I'll go ahead. No, go ahead with the color and make up your shape. You can see you can go ahead and make any type of shape. This looks so perfect for me. So I can go ahead and fill up. I'll make one more. I think one more Can want to be put up. So I'll go ahead and add that as well. Make sure though are defined rather than smudge. Fill up the space with Telco. You can slowly go ahead and follow the edges. So it gives us more texture rather than one. As I told, make sure you go ahead and pick consistency rather than what you have done watery mixture to go over it again. Now let's shift into the markers. I'm using a sharpie marker and then I'll try to make one branch leaves. Conditions, checkout blends. Before you actually do it. You can go ahead and try whatever you want. I'm going ahead and making too many leaves. The marker. Try to define in our leaf D in detail in an alternate. I know. I have also highlighted the alternate leaves. And now I'll shift into the white marker and doodle on to the shapes misfolding in this painting. I'm going ahead with just dots using white monk. Go onto the bell-shaped. That's it for the painting. I don't want it to look even more clumsy. It's already looking for. So I'll just go ahead and remove the masking tape. And also if you find any undefined edges, make sure you define it. And yeah, that's it for this painting. 6. Floral Design painting : Moving on with our final painting, I have decided to use the same three, Carlos, but I'll be painting the above half differently and below half differently. So let's tape down to people. The full painting. Ensure that the tape has talked to the people properly. Now, moving on with the painting part, I'll go ahead and paint with candle and do the one half of the people. Don't. The only thing that this abstract painting is so relaxing, you can paint anything and give up life, do it by painting on natural element to it like leaves, flowers, etc. Yes, For this last painting, we'll be painting some flowers as well. We are not actually painting the flowers, but we will be depicting there's a flat element into it. So once I have properly painted the teal color, I'll go ahead and add it on images. Let me just go on with a rose color and with a round brush. I'll go ahead and make a floral like five petaled flower, which is not exactly flat but shadow or type of solute type fly. You can follow the Fibonacci series of flower petals, or you can just randomly make any flat. The lower half of the flower looks transparent. So let's make it opaque by painting one more layer onto it. Now, this looks all empty. So I'll go ahead with this Adam Lynn blue and make lines, diagonal lines. As you can see. This is a good hand practice as well. And be slow and patient and just draw our lines. Make sure you draw ten lines rather than take line. So be very careful, gentle pressure lists and go with it. It's okay if you make mistakes, it happens. So just try doing it. Whatever you make it as a masterpiece or class because it's made by you. So practice makes you a good painter. So once those diagonal lines are done, we will move on to the teal background. Using the same color. I'll go ahead and put a natural element, another natural, and it meant I could say Sun. So I'll just make a little blue, so good and fill it over. The best part about Bosch and layering makes it. When multiple fake and it doesn't let the low Carlo be more than one retreat applying. So it's always good ones. This painting patterns done and dried. Let's move on with the markers. I will try making or Florida or teal part of it, the black marker. You can just notice my drawing first and then go ahead by practicing it on the practice people. And then we'll go ahead and paint over it and draw over the painting. Just see I have just done the three-step process for the flower. And one more step, then your filaments rate. It's so easy to do around and make something which is cool enough to make things be more than minimalism. Some leaves and stem. Now a black man uncle, I'll just go ahead and bolder painting and then also add some shadows and shading. Some bark. This leg back. One the shading but even just go ahead with the alkaline. But I like those lines, field lines. It's not actual shading, but yeah. So once the deal is done, Let's move on with the pink flower. That is rows flag. All we'll go ahead with the outlines. I'm just adding some folded petals everywhere. You can notice how I do it. And then cover up from the side and M shape and the first and then coverage from background. I'm not doing exact M, but at times I'm doing it. Intend to go ahead with some not so good. And also here I'll try making some shavings. Lines. Wow, that looks so good. Now let's go ahead and make that San Marco, the sun rays with white marker. One longer line and one shorter line. Doesn't this look like we are in UK, the class where we used to draw sun, stars, moons, etc. But it's looking beautiful, isn't it? I'll add some white dots onto the flower in the center. This looks so beautiful. But let me just add some more elements into this. Since it's not a minimalistic painting anymore. We'll go ahead and fill up this whole painting. I'll go ahead and add our dots everywhere. But onto the team will go on. Certainly in blue, mostly. Let's see. Now, the low part is looking beautiful right? Now, let's go ahead and make some Sarah Lynn blue dots onto the teal as well. That's it. Let's remove the masking tape and finish off this painting by bringing the other paintings together and keeping them beside. We are finally done with all the full paintings. This look, how does it look for you guys? So awesome. Share your paintings as well. I would love to see them and also the reviews and discussion box. 7.
