Abstract Ocean Vibes Relaxing Abstract Acrylic Painting for Beginners

1. Welcome to the class: Hello and welcome to this exciting abstract painting course. This is actually one of the most fun courses out there. Understanding how to make abstract painting is such a fundamental skill as a painter. Almost all paintings start as abstract paintings. And that is the reason why you should focus on shapes on how to create colors, on color harmonies, and, of course, on having a lot of fun. This class is perfect for beginners who want to understand the fundamental building blocks of color and painting. You will play with textures, with colors, with brush marks, paying attention and really focusing in on making a successful abstract work. Hi, my name is George, and I've been a professional artist for over 11 years. And in the last five years, I've developed this passion for teaching. With both online and in person classes, I taught over 20,000 students, and I developed this method of teaching that focuses on the project and, of course, on having a great experience. Learning in a fun way is crucial to understanding everything that you need to know about painting. So if you want to learn how to make paintings that you love, and that you can give as gifts, this is the right class for you. After you finish this class, you will be able to translate the skills that you learned into making so many more abstract painting. This class builds upon the fundamentals and really teaches you how to make a successful artwork. So let's get into it. 2. Materials needed: Hello, and welcome. Before we start, you will need some materials. These materials include three brushes, a big flat brush, a medium flat brush, and a small round brush. You'll be using the big flat brush for maybe 80% of the painting and a small one and a smaller one for details. This will be a beautiful abstract painting. You should also have some kind of a paper to try things out a bit on the paper like colors or also you can try to do some lines to get used to the idea of painting. For paints, you will need acrylic paint. This is titanium white. I recommend Amsterdam acrylic paint, and I recommend getting big jugs of paint. This is Azo yellow medium. Brown, also known as burnt umber. This is carmine red and brilliant blue. Okay. You will also need a mixing plate. These Ikea plates are very good and cheap, and you can use them hundreds of times. A good tip is to put boiling water over it to get the paint out of it faster if it's completely dry. You'll need some paper napkins, as well to clean the brushes and some water to clean the brushes as well. And, of course, you will need a canvas. This is a 30 by 40 centimeter canvas and some gloves if you have to not get yourself dirty. H 3. Dark composition elements: The first step, you will need some blue. Quite a bit of blue. You'll need some brown. Not too much. You will also need a tiny bit of yellow. And the big brush. Let's dip it in a bit of water just with the corner. You can see it doesn't have a lot of water. And we're going to mix a beautiful turquoise, a dark turquoise color. The brown is gonna make it darker. Take some brown. Don't go overboard. Don't mix all the color. Just go like this and start mixing a very dark bluish color. This will be the darkest color that you will create. Let's add a touch of yellow just to bring it forward. Okay. Mix it thoroughly. This painting will require you to mix your paints thoroughly and loading up the brush, as you can see, it has a little bit of yellow onto the back side, so we need to mix it a bit more. Okay. And let's start onto this side right over here, and move the paint around going lower. This is like a square and another square here. You don't have to keep these squares to perfect. There is going to be a lot of paint over them as well. But you can use some of this brush the other way around. If you use it like this, it's going to not make a beautiful line. You can also go the other way around to clean up the edges. Okay. And let's go ahead and fix this a bit. And now let's make a beautiful line just going down like this. Don't be afraid to press on the brush. It's important. So it's like a staircase just going like this. And now let's go from this one up to create a dynamic thing. Now growing out of this shape. I should have left a bit of white here, but I'll probably remember or forget to do it. A longer shape. And then higher you can notice that there is a lot of paint in the brush, so I'm using the middle of the brush, and you can use it as well. Let's go from here going down. And let's go here, maybe not make it the same height. I'll probably go a bit higher with this one. You are thinking about composition, like, things that end up at the same spot like this one and this one, I'm going to have to make this one bigger. Things things that end up at the same spot, they tend to have this look about them. I'm fixing this corner to be a bit more rounded, so it doesn't take so much space, and you cannot see it as much because 90 degrees corners like this take a lot of the viewers attention. So you can basically cut them like this a bit to really focus on the composition a bit more and make the viewer not spend a lot of time on the corners. I'm going round like this. Okay. Don't forget to make sure to paint the sides of the canvas a bit. Okay. And now let's take the smallest brush. Well, let's take the flat brush. I enjoy using the flat brushes. Well, it has a bit of glue. I took a bit of water just to make it glide a bit better. Water is a lubricant, and it makes everything glide a bit better. And right now, I'm just going to grow a line from here down into this shape. And probably going to round it like that and going to start to add another shape here, going the other way around. I'm also going to go from here with some lines up into this shape and also down a bit more and then out. Let's make this longer. So notice that this is smaller, this is bigger, and this is even bigger. We are focusing on big, medium, small. In fact, let's just make this bigger so that it's more interesting. I'm cutting that corner a bit. And refining some of the shapes, I might want to connect these shapes just a bit. These two shapes. A bigger brush would have been so much better. Let's actually take it and use all of that paint that it has inside. So I've connected these, and I made a very interesting shape and very interesting connected composition. Now, let's make another shape over here just because we want to break the whole composition a bit because it's two connected. It has two shapes that are not connected, and they don't have bigger shapes on the sides. Now, I'm going to take the smaller brush because I took some yellow onto this one, and I'm going to focus a bit more on the edge. Okay, I'm going to have a little bit of a square here. Pointing at the focal point or however you want to call it. And, of course, let's do another one beautifully here and another one here. Maybe this one is too short. I'm going to break it a bit just because we don't have breaks like these. Perfect. Variety of shapes, variety of composition, and we're going to go into variety of color as well. Right now, I'm looking around to see what areas are empty. Let's do this corner. Not going to focus too much on the edge of the shape because it's probably going to get covered up by something else. But you do need full color, like, really take. Don't be stingy on the paint. Just try to cover all the canvas so it's not transparent. Most beginners do not press hard enough and do not use enough paint in their brushes. So be careful not to be transparent with your paints. Perfect. And maybe another one maybe continuing like this line. Perfect. And another one just continuing. Another one just continuing this line over here and another one continuing this line as well. Perfect. 4. Deep turquoise: And now you need to even though it has some yellow, we need the yellow to create turquoise. Turquoise is just a bluish green Emerald. I think it's emerald green. Okay? Notice, I'm not going too yellow to green. I'm slowly adding over the dark color. I'm slowly adding this blue to make this deep turquoise color. Once you have your brush loaded, take some water just to lubricate the paint a bit. Don't take too much water because it will make your color transparent. And let's start right over here to actually accentuate that small little divot and over here and start to focus a bit on the edges that are not very clean, like over here and making this shape a bit smaller and maybe over here. And in between those shapes, slowly editing the whole painting. Okay. Now let's go fill in this shape right here. Can go a bit inside the shape if you want, but not too much. Don't go overboard with the blending. This painting will become a very clean painting because it has nice edges. Clean paintings have very sharp edges. That's how you keep your paintings clean. Let's go inside here. And notice how I broke that corner because it was too angular and using the brush on its sides gives you a lot more control, breaking this corner as well and going towards the shape, filling it in, not too much. And let's focus on this side over here. Filling it faster and then focusing on the edge, breaking that corner again, going a bit inside, just to blend those colors a bit, pressing harder on the brush just to add more of this color. Notice how this is too much of a straight edge. Let's break it. Not having enough paint, so we'll need to focus a bit more on the shapes that really need our attention. Like, over here and over here and maybe in between those, a bit, maybe over here. And let's edit this corner shape as well. A bit. Okay. And we're going to do another beautiful turquoise, getting a bit more yellow and a bit more blue. This will be a bit lighter because there isn't so much brown, so much of the first color in this blend it nicely and thoroughly because you also have a lot of so press hard. You have a lot of paint in your brush. So you should be pressing a bit harder to get a homogeneous homogeneous color. And let's go over here. There isn't a lot of difference, so I'm going to add some white. But before we actually go ahead and mix some of this white, we're going to use it like this just to cover some more areas because we mixed. We worked this color, and now we need to use it a bit so that it can show up in the painting. 5. Analogous color harmony: Let's mix a bit more so we have enough to be able to put the white. Okay. And going very fast and loose, as you can see, it has a bit more of a light tone right now. Let's go around. You should go around the shape and edit it a bit. Not all the shapes should be very, very clean. Some of them you can go inside and finish them like this so that you can have a bit of a lost edge. A lost edge is fancy talk for an edge that is a bit more blurry, not so crisp. And a beautiful line over here, cleaning up these areas. Okay. And let's add a bit of white, a touch of white, maybe a bit more grabbing some of that blue and a touch of yellow to make it a bit more turquoise. Notice how I'm not getting very, very, very light. You shouldn't go very light very fast. Let's go over here. Lighter colors if you want to create contrast, lighter colors go next to the dark ones if you want to create contrast. If you don't want to create contrast, then you want to have a pleasing and less contrasty painting, you should go around the colors that are the same, almost the same value, like here. But if I go here or you start right next to the black, well, the blue, is going to create a lot more contrast. Think of them as bridges, bridges of color. Let's go a bit faster with the side of the brush and fill in this beautiful side. Also, let's fill in this. This is just easy fill in work. I'm also getting rid of the paint on the brush and mixing in a bit of the color. Okay, let's go over now. Let's add it here. Cleaning the brush just so we can take a break. I think about 17 minutes of painting is enough, and we can let this dry. You can put the brush in the water. If it doesn't have a wood handle, if it has a wood handle, you need to wash it. That's the only reason not to keep the brushes in the water, okay? And let this completely dry or it doesn't really matter because we're going to work in the same color harmony. 6. Broken down smaller shapes: Okay, the painting is not really dry. It has been only 3 minutes after we've painted the other shapes. So the painting is not dry, but it doesn't matter because we are going to work with analogous colors. Analogous colors are like friends. They play together well. They really have a great time together. Just adding some white on top of this color. If you don't have it, you can do it again with blue, yellow and white and making it very nicely, adding a bit more yellow into it, just to keep that color beautiful. Let's go a bit more white, just to have a lot more color. Let's add some more of this blue and a touch of yellow, maybe too much. Okay. Perfect. I grabbed some brown on accident, but it doesn't really matter. Okay. And let's go over in this area to create more contrast like here and here. Notice how the colors are blending a bit. That's okay. Just take some more color and some more white. Blend it a bit more over here. And now we're going to be a bit more careful since we've understood that that will happen going over here with a straight line, and right next to this edge, just cleaning it, barely touching it, but going a bit inside and going down. Let's go here. And over here, just cleaning out that edge. There are some beautiful white points, and those white points are an opportunity to add some more white spots. Notice how I drag the brush like this. It creates a bit of an interesting shape, but you can also go back over them to blend in case it's too much of a color, too much of a texture for you. Let's go over here and add another one. Perfect. Now, let's build this beautiful corner. It's in the middle of the painting, so it's going to have a lot of interest for the viewer. And let's go here because I left a beautiful shape. And in this area, just going and blending and then making a shape. Let's take some more white this time and some yellow let's keep this color a bit more yellow. It's a yellow turquoise. Okay. And let's put it over here. Notice how it sticks out very nicely. Let's mix it a bit better because it created some lines. Okay. And over here. It also creates lines because there is wet paint underneath, but they play together very well and nice. Okay, I'm going to accentuate that line we've created in the beginning by going around it. To make it more visible. I'm going to also accentuate this shape over here by going and making a beautiful square next to it, brushing it off a bit just to make it more of a flat shape. This is half of the painting already done, but it needs a few more things before it's ready. Okay, focusing a bit more on this side, just creating some beautiful shapes. Now, this brush has a lot of paint. Unfortunately, you can go and look for some white areas, white, small dots that are a great way to make the painting a lot more complex because you don't have to think about it. You're just seeing it. And try to keep the shapes in the same family, like, going up and down or to the right. And then if you want, you can sometimes go onto the side to create some more dynamic shapes or go wiggly like this. But it still goes up and down a bit. So, yep, let's add it here. Okay. And some white here, maybe something over here. Just looking and actually cleaning the brush as much as I can so that we have a clean brush, and you have a clean brush with which to paint. Perfect. There should be a small Well, let's cut this corner first. And let's make a beautiful shape inside the black. Why not? Let's go the other way now. Okay. And maybe another one continuing this line. Smaller shapes. If you want, you can use the smaller brush. Let's use the round brush, take some of this paint, and refine these shapes a bit. Maybe make this one a bit bigger. Adding more color to it because the black is blending in. And let's make another one maybe over here and another one continuing this line. Notice how it's really popping out because these shapes are very small and they are very different because they are small. You can go inside over here and make another small one. You can also go break this shape a bit you shouldn't really brush that much. Try to do it as smoothly as possible with one motion like this so that it doesn't blend with the colors underneath. There is some white here, and then that is a great opportunity to just make a beautiful line and maybe another one here. Perfect. I'm gonna wash the brushes the way you properly wash the brush. Wash the brush is take some water, squeeze the paint out with the first pass and the water. Okay. Put the napkin aside, take some more napkins. If you have them handy, handy dandy, which I didn't. So I have them now over here and squeeze it again. You squeeze all of that paint. And then take a bit more water and do the same thing over and over and over again until the brush has you can also swirl the paint water just like this. It also helps and also dabbing the water out a bit so that you don't ruin the napkin so fast. Perfect. Now, for the next step, you don't need to let the paint dry. 7. Lighter shades: The next step, you will need a bit of a place to put some color. This color will be a lot more white. Add some beautiful white on this corner, clean up the brush, not thoroughly. It's almost 99% clean. And then with this water and color, you can have bit a bit more color, mix it in. It will create this bluish tint over the white. I picked up some yellow, so you can pick up some yellow as well. Take some blue, mix it in, mix it thoroughly. With this color, you will basically just squeeze that water into the paint. To make an off white turquoise, mix it very thoroughly. And squeeze that water once again. Just so it's very nice and fluffy. And now going onto the top side, we're going to actually just focus on this side over here. And we're going to go ahead and paint the sides. The paint is almost dry, but you should also be careful not to go too much inside of the shapes, clean the edges, but that's just about it. And then going careful. And when you go into the shape, just go a bit faster. Okay. Grab some more color and now go with some shapes going this way, being very careful to just go over the edge. Let's focus on the white. You can also take the small brush. If you don't have it clean, you can clean it. And let's go and fix. Go in between. This brush is very good for going a bit more interesting on the edges and the shapes. I picked up a bit of color, but that's fine. And going with some lines going down, And inside over here, just blending some of that color and picking some more white, blending it in over this color. With a big brush, remember not to put Brushes with wood handles in water because the wood gets damaged. Let's go a bit lower with this one. And in case you have the same problem as I have, try to blend it in over the shape. The paint. This will also have the added benefit of spreading that paint around, and it's fine if it's a bit more texture. You can also clean the edges a bit more by going like this and up inside of the shape. And let's go with a beautiful line just over here, accentuating that shape. This can be a bit more blended because it's inside of the shape. Same goes for over here. One single stroke because the minute you do another stroke, it's going to have a lot of the paint. The way you get rid of that is by taking some more paint, blending it together, and then going and adding another shape. And let's put one over here. They are very white, but it doesn't matter. We can go over with a wash at the end. There is some water here. I'm going to blend it. Maybe I can get rid of it. Okay. And let's do a bit more over on this side. This time, I'm actually going to blend it, and you can blend it as well. Blend it nicely onto the canvas with the painting underneath with the paint underneath. To make a beautiful shape, you can go to the side to clean up those edges, and then the moment you go down, you can see that it plays very well with these other colors because they are friends. Color friends, paint friends. I'm going over some of this color just to make it more friendly on the eye. I'm still keeping some of the white, but I'm also blending you should also be careful not to make them too hairy. These big brushes tend to make very hairy edges like over here. Notice. And taking some more white going over that paint. Notice this edge, you can go ahead and make it more smooth. And, of course, let's add some of this over here. And maybe 1-1 dash over here, even though I lost that black, that darker color. And another one here. Perfect. You can go back onto the if it has too many lines on it, you can go back on the shape and fix it a bit. Make the edges a bit more crisp by just blending and then going to the edge, blending and going to the edge, just so you create some flat shapes instead of shapes that have textures and lines. This will really make the painting a lot more beautiful and interesting because it will seem a lot more fresh. I'm cleaning this small brush. With some paper towels and blending these colors a bit more so that you have some nicer, more exact shapes going over them and cleaning them up adding another one over here. Let's take some more paint and clean up the brush so that it blends a bit more with the other colors. You can also, if the paint is starting to become sticky, take some water, go over the shapes. It will make everything blend a lot faster and a lot nicer. Okay. Let's go over this one as well. Don't worry if you're losing some of that color. Let's go make another shape over here and clean up the edges of this shape as well. Maybe make it a bit more interesting. There is a lot of white on the edge of the canvas. Just blending this color until you feel satisfied with it and making another shape here, maybe accentuating that interesting stick onto the right side of this shape. And focusing on the edge, slowly creating some more interesting edges. Now going over here and adding this color that you have in the brush. You can also pick it up from the side of the canvas and add it over this shape because it has become too dark. We can also add a bit more of this whitish color and maybe make it a bit longer. Don't worry about this white, even though it seems too intense. We are going to let this dry completely because we're going to change color palette, and you're going to paint with some beautiful brown earthy tones to bring some of that hotness. Some of that heat, those cold this is a very cold painting, so it needs some balance. It needs some more warmer earthy tones. 8. Bubbly goodness: Forgot to mention that you should be letting the painting dry completely. If you have a hair dryer, you can use it to completely dry the painting in just a few minutes. You should also clean up the brushes. You might need to go at the faucet and run some water and do it much faster under the running water. The painting is almost dry, and let's do something more interesting before we go into the brown. Let's take some water, and let's take some of this white. Blend it with the water just so it glides better. And you're going to have to take this paper and start drawing some lines, noticing that every time you need to go ahead and add more paint to the brush so that you can create lines. If you press a bit harder, the paint goes a lot further, but you have the unwanted benefit of having the texture showing. So let's take some more water. Let's blend this color together. And over here on this corner, just cleaning up the edge first and then going with a line slowly, 1 centimeter or two at a time. Always try to go the same way with the brush as where you are going so that you don't get these hairs. So you should go with the brush in the direction that you want the line to go. It doesn't have to be a perfect line. It's an abstract painting, but it needs to have some clear shapes. Okay. Let's do one over here. Notice how on the canvas, it's a lot more easy to draw lines than on the paper because the paper gets some of that paint into the pores and it extracts the water very, very fast. Notice how these are not perfect circles. They are just beautiful organic shapes, lines. They are a bit more abstract than perfect shapes. Let's make a smaller one. Just so you train your hand to do smaller shapes with bigger brushes. This is not the perfect brush to do this. But if you use a bigger brush, you learn more about control, and you also learn about how to do them better. It's way harder to do shorter lines, smaller lines with a bigger brush. Let's actually make this one a beautiful shape. I'm changing the shape and maybe dividing this. Notice here, we're going to divide this into a small little rounded shape. And this one as well, so it seems, well, maybe let's connect them. Nicer. Okay. And going around on this shape, making another one over on this side. Notice how it's a bit transparent, so you need to go over it again. And going a bit more thick on this side, so this shape is a bit more clearer that line, that line. And now let's make this edge a bit crisper. And let's do a line that goes and connects this shape, maybe start a bit thicker to have like this. And this seems to be the right spot to connect it. Notice the transparency, you need to go back and forth to get those pores of the canvas covered. Because you're using some water, it's difficult to go ahead and paint over the darker areas. But if you are patient, you can get a great result let's take actually a bit more water because it will spread a bit nicer in the pores and some more paint. Going and focusing on making this nicer. And now let's make a runaway just here. 9. Long bubbles: This area doesn't have any circles. So let's go around this shape. Just to clean its edges. You're doing two things at the same time. You're cleaning this shape's edge, and you're also making a circle, but not perfectly surrounding the shape, around it, going Make a medium shape. Let's clean this one as well, because now they are dry and you can add another layer of paint. And over here, a smaller one. As you gain more confidence, you'll start to really add some speed to your Brush marks. You don't always have to make them completely opaque. You don't have to go over them two or three times. Sometimes you might want to have an edge that is a bit more transparent, like here or here. They look more integrated that way. And let's actually go with this one. Let's go a bit faster and connect it over here. And taking more water and more paint, it seems like the water helps with the pores of the canvas. This is a good time to take advantage of the fact that this is not very blended, so you can make another line just going outside. And with this one, let's just focus on some parts, making some parts visible and some parts more transparent so that it becomes a bit nicer. Okay. And let's clean up this one. It has a bit of a corner. Let's make it a bit more round. And this one is too transparent. Focusing on the edge. Now, going and cleaning up this shape, it's too hairy. Even though it's not really the same color, you can start to see. The more you do this, the more you start to see those areas where you can add a beautiful circle. Maybe this circle has a small little bubble. And you can go onto the side and maybe this maybe another smaller one here. And now, this one, this one, let's make another one just longer and faster over here. Making it very nice, maybe connecting it together so that it doesn't seem like it goes outside of the canvas. It still gets outside of the canvas. And now let's make an interesting thing and put another beautiful bubble inside of it. And then the amongs character and take some more water and make another beautiful one going right over here. And going over this one with a bigger shape, having a bit of fun with some circles. It's all you're doing. Just slowly creating these beautiful bubbles. They are wonderful. Let's make another one just on the top side, maybe over here. You can start to go a bit faster and clean it up afterwards. Let's make another smaller one. Let's see. Here or here, here. And now you can also clean the shape over here maybe a bit, just to make some more interesting things happen. And let's actually go ahead and make another line going around this shape, beautifully creating an edge. Let's take some water. And just so it doesn't circle the shape, you can go on to the side to grab some of this color over on the side. You can focus a bit more on the edge and the transparency. Okay, and maybe this shape needs to be a bit more clean. And another beautiful circle just over here. Adding some lines as well. You can add some beautiful lines just going and creating some of that edge on these circles, as well, because they are not too opaque. Because it has water, it becomes a bit more transparent, a bit more translucent. So you might need to go once or twice over it again and again. Okay. And just because it's interesting and it balances out the composition, let's do another one on this side. Notice how at the end I'm going up. This creates a bit more the idea of a bubble instead of just a shape just coming in to the beautiful painting. I'm cleaning up the edges and making sure that the shapes are opaque enough. Like, for instance, this one is way too transparent. So it needs another layer of paint and this one on the edge. This one, as well. And this one coming out from over here. Okay, maybe over here as well. And I think that's just about enough for the whole circles thing. We're going to do the brown in the next step. I'm seeing another beautiful, transparent side over here. Okay. And there you go. The step is over. For the next one, you're going to need to just dry around here and maybe over the circles. The other stuff is already dry enough. 10. Finishing the composition: Just to simplify the painting a bit more. And since we have a lot of paint still left in the palette, no more brown, just turquoise will be enough, making it a bit more blue, just so it's a bit more interesting. Okay. With the big brush, let's clean it. Just a tiny bit. Take some blue, tiny bit of yellow. And some brown, recreating some of that color, but this time a bit more blue. Recreating the middle color, the darkest one, just a tiny bit more brown. To make it darker, you can notice that this color is a lot more blue once you add it to the canvas and filling in the spaces that are left onto the canvas on this corner going a bit faster just because this shape is very simple. Being a bit more careful as you go around edges and around other shapes, not to lose all of the work you've done previously. Perfect. And adding a bit more blue to this color just so you can create some more interesting shapes inside of this turquoise. And you can also maybe edit this shape completely by going around it to divide those two beautiful shapes and going a bit lower. The painting is completely dry, so that's why it's so easy to go over some areas. Let's make another shape just over here. And just a few touches really make the painting feel more defined, since this is a very interesting color. Accentuate some of the circles by going around them with a shape like this, adding some white, not a lot of white, just going around the shapes, editing some of these corners that are sticking out too much, going a bit outside, and maybe cleaning up this area as well. Adding some of it over here to clean up that edge and going the other way to clean up the shape itself, adding some more lighter colors over here, and on top, like that. And over here, you can also go inside of the bubbles to make the bubbles a bit more interesting. Even if they are not really that accurate, you can go back to the white, grab some of that white and go ahead and edit it once again. This will also benefit you in terms of adding some of that blue inside of the bubble. Okay. And this is a great time since you have the color to go over some areas that are transparent or need a bit of editing, let's actually put on the glasses. And add it to this shape. Let's make some lines over here and a beautiful bubble. You might notice that this paint is quite wet. So whenever you're making something, it's going to have a bit of a texture to it. But if you go back to the paint, you can create these bubbles a bit better. Go with a bit more thicker paint just so you can blend that color in a bit and make those edges seem a bit sharper. Just blending it in, making it more circular, and adding a smaller dot just over on this area. Let's make another one just over here. And that's it. The painting is finished, almost. Let's fix this shape a bit. It's too hairy and add a bit of an interesting color to it. Also over here, maybe to accentuate that line a bit more since this white color has a bit more blue to it. Perfect. And there you go. The painting is completely done. 11. What do you have learned Thank you : A very big believer in unconscious learning. What does unconscious learning look like? It looks like this. You have started with a big brush, so you've learned that a big brush can cover a lot of area on the canvas. You've also learned about analogous colors by shifting the hue from the very dark to the very light. You've played with analogous colors. Remember, analogous colors are friends. They go very well together. They play nicely. And you've also learned about edges, how to clean up the shapes in order to have crisp, clean edges so that they don't look hairy or messy. You've also learned how to make beautiful lines with a small brush, and you've learned how to control the brush better in order to make those transparent lines a bit more intense going over them again and again. You've also learned that you can simplify the painting or add a lot more complexity by just adding small dabs of paint. And you've also learned that some kinds of brush marks or things that you don't like you can fix, like we fixed this area over here. You've also learned about big, medium, small, big, medium, small, big, medium, small. So big, medium, small. This is a very interesting and very good concept to play around with when you are painting. You've also learned how to brush handle, how to combine paint because that's one of the most important things when it comes to painting. You've also learned about color variety. You understood what it means to go from this turquoise dark color and achieve this bluish color and notice how much more interesting it looks once you've added this blue. You've learned about contrast, light, dark color contrast. This is very light. This is very dark. And if you place colors that are very light right next to colors that are very dark, it creates a lot of contrast. But if you put them over closer colors in a brightness, you get softer contrast. You've learned about soft contrast, hard contrast, brush handling, also dark light color. You've learned so much by doing these paintings. And I am 100% sure that you can really make this course in another color palette. So if you want to expand your knowledge about color, just try to make it red or pink and see how you can play with these concepts on a different color palette. Try to stick to analogous colors so that they play together well. And that's all for this course. Thank you for being part of this community and see you in the next one. Don't forget to leave a review. It will really help other people know that this course is for them.
