1. introduction : Hi, everyone. Welcome to today's class. I'm gonna be working on one of my ah flower girl Siri's I've been creating. So I'm going to show you what the set up looks like. And then I'm going to get started and just basically create one of my poetry. It's what I'll be doing is that I'll be setting classes on my portrait class flower girl classes, and I'll just be number in them. So it would be like Portrait flower girl one and dependent on what you feel that you would be interested in creating. Then you could kind of link up to that class yourself. So this will be, um, Flower girl off number two. So I will be working on that now. Yes. So let's get started.
2. Gesso Layer: So here's a set up for the class today. So this is an old, um, book. But I got from the library. Andi, it's basically going to be working in this book with different, um, Siris of paintings just in the idea. Like a journal. If you've heard of Journal Art and it's the Journal are also I'd say, Is that the idea of a sketchbook, but really, really relaxed? People use a lot for personal reflection, and and it's usually quite private. But I like the idea off being able to look at it through that way reflectively and also as a sketchbook as well. So what I usually do is I would, because I've got so many pages here and actually started this upside down. So just show you what I did there, Um, on the back of its have done these characters already in here on, um, basically just go through doing the same thing. I really like this one, which I use, You know, the Jessel ground is always you just projects onto the page to kind of seal the page, and then you can do your sketches with your pencil and then water color and so it's just constant layer. And so once the watercolor goes in, I'll be using my marker pens as well to kind of put on another Lear. Then, after the market pins and I'll go onto the acrylic clear. So that's what I'm doing for all the classes I love using mixed media. Sometimes I will use collage, but because I want to use the water color different, there's different ways of approaching the Le'Ron, so you could always at college after. It depends on how abstract you want the peace to be. So you have to be flexible, or you can go really abstract, pull it in really abstract again and then pull it back in. So it's just constant pushing in and pulling out off your characters. So this was Flower Girl one, which on the classes available as well and ideas, um, also some copper, um, acrylic on that. So she's got some copper elements. I don't know if you'll be able to see that, and this year there's a bit of the reflection there, so I can always go on to use that as well. I mean, here I also have like my paint sticks, which are oil paint. Um, origin is, like, basically oil paint in the Korean format so that I would use of the last layer because you're always looking at how European will be able to sit one on top of the other. And if you put something oily, then it will no, actually necessarily be us archival as it needs to be. So yeah. So this is also actually, this is the, um, flower girl one. The class that I did this was different piece that I did before that. Yeah, this is the one, actually, and, um, I love the colors on this beautiful. So I'm gonna try and push towards something like this again today. And as I said, it was the Le'Ron off the Jessel and issues in this book, which I'm trying to do one on one side just because in case someone wants to actually buy a piece from me, Then I would be thinking about what's behind it. So, um, once it's framed, then you know that will be just gorgeous as well. So I really love the colors in this, and it's just to get started and do something very similar to this. Um So what I'll do is start by putting some. Yes, so on the page. So that might be a lot, but this see, what you could do is you could always use this shape and shape brush to just fill it across into the different things or I can use. My ruler just got here, So I think I'll use this this time round for ease. And if I have any excess, I might go over that page as well just because it's not really so. I like the way it's covered that quite well. So now you can't see the image as well, and it's covered it, Um, and just to make sure that it's so you can do more layers if you want. I mean, this is still even with this. You could always drop in some paints and might be acrylics, and you get a different backgrounds on that as well. So I'm just gonna use the excess off this page. My use any excess on this dependent don't really want to make it to miss just so once this dries then will live on to the next stage, which would be using some of the I um, mediums that I've mentioned before. So usually whatever did next would be to use a pencil, any pencil that you feel comfortable, it that could be very dark. Oh, it could be quite light. And he just basically draw your images on. And that's the start. Then all you could use also, like about your some watercolor pencils as well that you could draw with if you wanted, cause I like going with a sketchy idea, the sketchy theme to actually work into the painting level. Because I love I love to draw a lot, So that helps me to get started into what it is I'm doing. And I've got some Conte pencils here. Um, we haven't used for a while, but they're kind of like like Chalky. So yeah, and then other water commoners I've got as well. Like I've got these pallets that have used that these kind of water colors from which you can squeeze you can squeeze different colors and from sets like this. So I got that as well. So that's watcher color that you can use after you've done your pencil sketch. Then also, I've got my acrylics, so the acrylics are very jumbled here if I just show you some of the difference. So this different colors that I've got like, these paints really bright colors. I love some skin tones as well, like beige or like the sienna. You can't see that barrels really dirty. But because of all the paint have been mixing on but different acrylics that you can use. Um, but you can find wherever you can and used is acrylics as well. And I use that mainly at the last layer. Unless I was planning to use, um, the paint sticks which I mentioned before. But even before I would use the pain states if I wanted that go back to using my markers again. I just get this over so I could use my markers again even before the pains takes us on top of the acrylic just to get some different, um, results as well, with the peace so so much that can be done. If you didn't like this kind of textured because it's kind of a textured result on the page from that ruler, you can see that kind of effect There were It's kind of lots of rivets. What you can do is just used to smoother, uh, the one that will kind of the shaper brush that would then Smith out about. So it's almost drying there. It's a good way to test, actually, just kind of go over a little bit. So, um, I used white Jessel here. You could use black Jessel. You could mix the Jessel with another cower before you put it on and get the colors to be quite, um, different from this plain white background. Lots of people don't like working for this plain white background, but I like to do that just because I like to sketch. So I don't mind if it's just clean. Why, I will just leave it like that and then just start drawing on. I have some samples which I will show you, probably in the next segment that I'm gonna use as a prompt four, creating the flower girl I'm about to create. So let's get to the next section, and we'll get on with that
3. Sketch Layer: So as I showed before, I've been using these little characters to prompt me for, um, the ideas of what to paint here. These are not my flower girls, but I'll just get some ideas for for kind of facial expressions. So these were sketches. I did not that long ago. Onda, who this has been a nice one to do it some small flowers, is not quite the same. And for some reason I feel like I should feel the page, so I never really I've not started doing smaller pieces. Basically, it's better that way. So I'm trying to think of what kind of a character to draw here. So I'm gonna zoom in a little bit. I can try and adjust my look here. So I am going to try and sketch a character right here. So trying to think what she should look like I've been inspired by the one with the hair flew in so discretion into the service now because it's still not fully dry. So some of the color from behind this kind of, um, coming out into this so it's lots of things to be considering while we're doing this catch , which is with my big guy girls. Usually I've been doing a lot of them look really contemplated at the moment. So usually their eyes were closed and, um, everything around them things very serene. And this is just the idea. I have just being thankful in general in life. And, um so I've been going with that theme and also this idea of flowers, which I really like and it's quite a thing of appreciate in nature. So I think that's where all the links are coming in for what I am doing at the moment. So it's just kind of sketching into the Jessel on trying to get, um, a character out here and this scene where you go with, So, um and then you're right. Just trying get some, no idea of it, then going into the whole idea of how I'm gonna put the flowers and so just trying to get it all in the picture. You see a bit more when I start to add the other colors. So also, while this is drying before I had the water color and, um, I was thinking of keeping our eyes schools, but I think I'll keep it open, actually in. Try anything, but you can look the way that the wind is blowing. Every piece is like practice. So it's really this time. I've got my kind of rag here to use because it's kind of scraping back technically, because I'm impatient on one level on the other is really cool to get that screen texture into your piece as well. So just be free. I mean, I think I use my left hand in the last class so you could do that if you wanted to, um, time consuming. So I am trying to get these segments in as clearly as possible. So that's probably another class to focus on left hand drawing or the weak handed or a national see. So I'm just being free with this, and just almost like I am carving the Jessel away and the layer underneath is coming out a little bit, so there's some areas that are drier and the pencil is working on those areas. Then there's some that is basically because of the it still wit, and so it's creeping like these darker areas here of a sweeping, so I'm gonna make her eyes were really big so from there and every time I'm experimenting with these eyes, so sometimes they might not look exactly the same because a Z say this whole idea is technically like a sketchbook. You can experiment, you can create new things and new possibilities. And if you wanted to bend so it helps you to develop basically what it is that you're doing all this is the eye. So I'm just gonna do like, a little circle idea. This is all usually black. And then I, uh I usually have a eyelashes black and start working on colors that I joined randomly on the black and things and overlay it so I don't usually have to draw that, But that's just to show you that it's just very, um, abstract. And the leering effect just kind of have to go for, um So the hair. So I was trying to make this more about flowers, so well, I will do up here to kind of it and and through some flowers in here, my flower girls pigments. Um, yeah. I'm just trying to think what more I can add to this character to make her really interested in this Really like these ruffles around the neck. And yeah, So once we've done this like this, next stage will be to try and draw with some watercolors, awesome marker pens, only to decide in the next stage dependent how dry and it's still wet in those areas. So it might use some water color and these sides on. Then I might work on some market pins on her face if it's mostly dry, only to check it and then we get into the next thing. So I think I used water colors next, and then, uh, we can continue, so I'll see you in the next segment.
4. Watercolour Layer: So now that we have finished with the pencil there, we're going to go on and use some water cover and this. So let's get my brush. Um, also, actually, here you can use a smaller brush or a bigger brush. It's quite optional. You could always also have just realized use other mediums like past ALS. And I have some. A variety of other pastors here is well, she can use, like oil pastels if you want to go over thing. Um, also chalk pastels. I do have water soluble pastels as well, which are another medium that you can use as well for these pieces. So also, to achieve this with the watercolor, you can use litter brushes, so they're quite good for get in some of the details. I'm gonna use water brush just for some detail. And if I wanted to, I could. They used the bigger ones to fill up more spaces and things. So I'm just gonna just start to feel my way through some of us, um, and see where I go with that basically and just yeah, right with that and just squeeze in. Some of the walls were in here because usually, Actually, you can spray these watercolors beforehand so that you can just used them. But I haven't done that for some reason. I like using this blues and greens and this in the initial stages. I don't know why I just love, but we that it looks so, um put that on just and he could carry some of the colors to the eyes. Go saying I'm trying to put them in the same area just to try and say that the reflection is in similar environments and look seeing for her hair. Usually I always do their hair black, but, um, there's so many ways you could do this. If you want more water on, you can put more water just to feel free with this on just to play with it. Just trying to bring in some of the shadow I go into some dark colors to this. Blair is just building with Walter Color and so many things you can Also, while you're doing this, you can always scrape back as well. I will show you what I mean by that. In a minute, you can get messy before you get you tighten it again. It was just going back and forth. So also with the brush can go into the water as well. I don't have to squeeze out of the actual brushing. My hand can just take that and smudge it in a little bit, blended in a lot of it. So you can see you build on the layer off the peace, all sorts of colors, because all of these could be covered liters. So there's no stress. And there just experimented and seeing what you like. And some of these he can actually but it into the water with this brush. And you can actually just smudged a little bit smudge this fall that I just painted and still some Jess on that's taken. Mix that in a little bit with lots of color. Then you could go over again, so this would be like the water club a little earlier. Just, basically, just add in things you can get an idea for where you want to take the pieces well, with this so you can take some of this and ever and put it some other places, take some water, smush it about and just fill in this talk. But here this mission around from mixing things up so much, then you can. So you've got some color. And now on it. Um, and could this keep on added in tow Different, different aspects. And then two fingers. You could do so many things. You can blend, um, of in the green. And then these are lots of colors before I get to my final piece. Very comfortable. This A lot of people will be scared doing this and not knowing where it's going or anything . But sometimes I just want to see what it's gonna look like experimenting. It doesn't look anything like you the same. She should look. What? So what we'll do in the next round is we will then go on to the market pain, I think. But I would love to. I mean, you can keep on going with the actual watercolor as long as you want. Can come back in and you can scrape in with pencil and do a lot of details and things like that. So we're going to the market stage
5. Marker Pen Layer: So what we've got here is a piece that we've been working on. What we'll do is actually try and think of how we can expand on this next. I would originally have gone in with the market pain at this stage, but it's still wet. And because I want to continue and what I'm doing, I am actually going to put on the some of the acrylic clear and start working on it that way. So what I have here also is more shaper brushes, Um, similar to this one, basically, which is like a plastic, um, thick plastic. And these are like this one's, like appointed one, um, Andi. This these air old, different shapes that you can usually use that thinking clean model in a swell. So they create different designs and patterns as well. So I will use this, I think, in the next teach or basically my brush for put in on some of the acrylics. I'm trying to work on what her either a hair color or her flowers could think to be your hair cover. I will work on that right now, and that might give me leeway to do next. Or maybe actually her face cover, I said So I'm gonna use him acrylics for this. So usually if you actually skipped this stage and you go into acrylics is quite is not as easy with the market pens because you have to wait. Two is dry. Trying to feel all those environments are all ready to To you. It's conceive. I can Yeah, all there is to it. So if I want to have some of the market pain you can see here, the yellow so blurry. So they want to see him here. I'm using the markka pan into this, and, um so you can do this. Uh, but because this is so wet, I am trying not to block my market pen. Usually need to wait a bit longer, Have Basically, if they're Marco there. So it's just to show you that different things when you can use them? A When you shouldn't so that you don't ruin your pen as well and things like that. So these here is that right? I'm just going around with this marker pen feeling along to see? Yes, it is. It's still really wet because then it would block my marker pen So, um, all the kind of considerations you have to take while you're doing something. So it kind of put that Lear back there. It can use other colors as well. Uh, baby, is this a darker? You think? I think it's a darker you devil is the one I just used. And this one gonna use six. So let's see. So this has a thicker side, this marker, and it has also go, um, no end in sight. So, um, yeah, I don't know how well that zoom is working, so you could maybe over here, just to of extra. So, as I said, I've put the Jessel before just to stop it Kind of leaking through. So yeah, put some little circles kind of trying to show full lead in the background as well. About what? Keep it lightly. Office? Yeah. So in between this, just do some because some of it will show through Possibly so. Yeah. Just trying. Have continue on it. Continued station off things as well. So a hair, That's still what? Before I put some other colors, I really like blues. I could have put also the blue markets, but it's just about time, but I could have put these through her hair. Let me just see, like is in the thick of it. But look at you some of the smaller bits and just like that, just put some detail on. Here comes women a little bit. It's just good to start putting some lines some lines through so many different ways that you could start doing the details in here. But I'm going to get straight on teas and my acrylic with her hair. So, um, skepticism that a little bit. And here I've got some acrylic and I'm going to start Just pin it on our hair. Um, you can use a brush for this reason. My shaper breath cause another reason as well is you don't have to wash these brothers out , but using the brush is you have to make sure that you actually wash out trying to go here for so in between all this is the flowers are gonna be there. So So they hair this would bean the market pen layers. I would have gone over and more like the flowers probably could still do that. Actually, they're a bit drier, and I'm just trying to show you where I am filling in for here. So just did that. Then, Uncle Rector Admissible markup in Think of a time So mark up in my eyes so I don't have a black mark up in as well, which you can use. Kind of Teoh, um do the eyes as well. So I think I need to use their krilic for that, cause it's still wet on this I But basically, you can just go and, uh, add some other colors and things, even with these pinks up here. See if I can actually add some pink into this before I But it's not all gonna be pink is just really like the pink and the so, but yeah, Marco Pannella, mainly. Just so you could have used more market pen of this, which I could still come back toe basically just clean in my marker pen. Um, so resume out. You can see what I've done so far down the hair this I can use acrylic for the I part. So that's what I'm gonna do next layer, which is the Foca Levy acrylic lair. And then we can also look at the background and what we're gonna do can of building that, but the next level. So that will be fun. So see you in the next the next stage.
6. Acrylic Layer Part 1: So now we're gonna use more of their krilic and build up some more. I'm gonna finish this. I, uh So I'm gonna come down here like this. I mean, you can see the difference between the the pin on, um, acrylic. You want me to use a smaller brush and coming with more detail there? Moment. It's basically. Now you can see her expression a little bit more. I am going to go ahead and start some of the colors on her face. So trying to think what? I'm gonna add these start off so I can use my fingers in here and I could start, Um, adjust in some things. I am trying to also be able to put outlines so that I can remember where things are so spare with me in my plan in stage on another, the flowers there or something. So these are like I said, that's the layers upon layers. And just to get you to this state where you're thinking, right, Okay, I could do this, Do that. Um, even at this stage, I could at another color and, of course, like a yellow here so pages as well, But I'm trying to look at the skin tone and just different things I can add to live in the character up. So I'm always trying different colors just to see Well, I can do, and I could still, even after all this, use my ruler over this and see what this will side cause that's what's just come into my head because I want to try and get a flat result with the paint. Right now, this area this, like some of the pain, is, um, with the acrylic. This is what happens with acrylic. You end up getting, um, areas that are higher than other areas, some discount about even the black. I'm going to go in here, and I'm just gonna I'm gonna paint her hair over this really bold it. Gonna go in here. Here. Her hair is kind of gonna be in between and Flutie and just hair. So this can be fine. Just like a little something going on. Just don't be scared to do stuff. So here is in this general environment. So then also, just to get some shadow in there as well. So you get a lot of ugly stages. No people talk about all the ugly things, actually, endless amounts of ugly stages so it could be puffy are I'm gonna go over the whole thing with this bits of black that's on the thing. And that adds some kind of ah texture and earlier in the background that we will pain into not necessarily over into as we are building the image, So do not be scared off your results. So I'm gonna take some white here, and maybe can I come in a little bit, too? Some of this period that I'm imagining will be some kind of reflection on her island. Here, there'll be some kind of reflection. So you just start trying to build and different here years. That's a bit of agree. I recall a mixed here. I find it. We've added a little bit more into already doing that. So what's next? Still, I'll clean up my brush, and what we can do is start to build and this, um, the hair in Rio here just to get some other stuff going on, but we can look at, so I'm gonna put so of her flowers here. They see already. That's going to change things already. So I'm gonna zoom in a little bit. You're just gonna put a couple of red ones? I usually like to work in threes. I'm trying to think where else to put Maybe another one here, could she can. And trying to let some of the covers I love that yellow coming through. They're not really like that parade, actually. And I could put actually the yellow that I just use. I could find it. Just put that yellow right. Okay, I can fit that. Also, on top of this, So here's some you and just put back, But that read still in their mix. And I like that blue idea coming in there so might put some of that deal. And there just pull over top so you can see how that's already a bit more lightening up. It can carry the yellow through to other areas as well. But I'm gonna just this It's just blended in a I'm just gonna put this here. It just happened. You can carry the yellow into other areas, but we have the layers building up now. So, um see, what should we do next for her? I like the idea. Blue. Different blues. I'm thinking, yes, a Dark Live might put the dark blue just because I want to see what happens with this I remember best. My dark wood. That's probably the blue that I'm looking for actual and I might put up in here. It's a mix in it and and it's just becoming something else. And I love it lovably, yeah, and also, like in the eyes gets that this is how step to build the character up before I even get to the actual other details. Still, so she's still looking a little bit confused, still not seeing her face as clearly as we can, so I'm gonna use them Naples eo to pull her face out a little bit. The background will still need to think about that. If I wanna actually, um, used what come I want to use in the background. So I'm going light again, and then I can pull back and go back to something else. So I just did this. I can see her face about more for myself as well, where she is amongst everything else in her neck, and now it's becoming something else a little bit unlike should I take this away. So I'm thinking that. And I'm thinking I'm going to use my bigger one here. This Mm, Only me. I should use some greens. You some green. It's about to just get rid of that whole thing, But I will use some greens in here.
7. Acrylic Layer Part 2: So is this state would still just continue with building this piece on background and things. Why I want to do is I want the focus of the hair to be more obvious. So my pit some white here and then go over this and drag it over this just to push back some of these areas here. So that looks a bit controlled, but it's just to get this area a little bit more uniform. Then I also working from a bit so that I'm gonna make this into kind of a breed comes down here so you can see that breed going down like that. You can always change which way your piece is going. Trying to see how even, please. There's seems that this area had hair before, but older is just a little peek. What was there before? Come around here and zoom in a lot of it, so that might be a little Okay. Here, there. Oh, here. I'm gonna put some flowers. The actually, I might actually do some white. I think there's some white missing in some areas that it's required. Um um, these areas here, I'll let dry a little bit and try and focus on her actual, please. So, um, I'm gonna try and get her, you persons so try and Rick Concern later areas here. I know that I want Yeah, cheeks. So while I'm doing all this, it's kind of trying to measure what I will be doing. Like drunk is here and thinking her face only to come out a little bit more with the darker color that I'm gonna be using. Then I'm gonna go into the sky here and start actually her here. I'm gonna actually start putting some colors of this into her hair and let me now go into the sky and start trying to put some colors and there as well. So I'm gonna use some balloon. So there's just to pull back and Teoh think a little bit about what I'm doing here. Um, going down. I'm trying to frame her face a little bit. And just to with another color and just to I like that just make a little bit clearer to where her face is. So what can you do? It is kind of like a circular motions. I'm gonna go back a little bit so you can see all of it. So this is what we've now been left with through our conversation, Uh, still bits of that yellow that was peeking through. But I'm just gonna usually they're there. We know you're underneath and just building. Basically, just put the cover on this. So now I want to put some of this blue in her eyes. I know that this, you know, different color there. And I'm trying to think of how to no kind of start carrying the colors through two different areas off the piece. So this is like a t lip of kind of brought in here a little bit. I love my tulips, actually, and is to make sure that I got enough with the same glue in and around the doctor I here. So I'm gonna this pill that in a bit what's on her nose have a part of her news and conceits all carrying itself in a little bit. So here, I really want I mean, her face is quite pointy to me right now, so I want to just do a little something this brown, which I'm gonna have come in to face now. So I'm gonna go back and forth for this but despair with me because I need to get her the shape of her face. Right. So once that colors and it's now, like, almost like you're starting again because I was still need to go back and put some of these colors and again in other areas of the blues. And I've got to come in and start restructure in her face a little bit more ad in the color by really want her to have in here somewhere. Um, um so and then, while you do know that I can add also some more off the lighter I like your baby Naples eel and mixed that in as I'm going on as well. So just trying to build up overall face and in colors that are pulling, pushing, pulling its Lehren, it's probably gonna be a symbol of that brightness color here again. So, uh, yeah, a lot of fun. So the next stage will come in and I'll add some more colors, more acrylics just to finish her off. Um, because if I work on are too much, I could run her. So it's kind of gonna try and focus on maybe some flowers
8. Acrylic Flowers Layer : So I'm gonna now have a look at some more flowers and also at her hair. So it might put another cute to lip flower here. Really? Like colors I'm using here because I don't want Teoh at this stage because I don't really want I'm just trying to feel my way, so I dont over do this, but I really like that she lived there. Add another one here, and I probably should add one more to your come and give them some substance with some extra layer in. And then maybe pill some of this color in into her Nick a little bit, uh, said into her face that was all mixing before. So I can always expect in a little bit, uh, into the flowers on her. And so I really like this, but condemn this and then change it a little bit again. That's, um, different blue. Think so? Really? In blue. Actually, I'm gonna wash my brush and add some more highlights on her face before I go anywhere else . Basically. So this is the finally, unless I want to add, um, pain stick. So I need to wait for this to dry or from one ad, maybe more. My markup in which I can do and add some extra texture to this as well. So I'm just going in and taking some of this and add into her face, which I consume in so you could see a So this is just to get the lighter shade home for face. Andi? Um, yeah, I can add some other colors, just thinking it was just a highlight. Some areas of her face and he can blend it further still, but really just want to stick with some areas I know to bring up the flowers. Um, but I am create. So even on these, uh, flowers at the side, I'm just cannot added some things. Yeah, I liked her hair going down. Me too. See that? So, yeah, I really like the way she looks. So yeah, this kind of add in some highlights center actual hair thing. Um, and I just Do you think what other colors to put in her actual I, and to think about as I am going to had some bright pains to her here, and I'm going to go back to use in my other two. So many colors I can go in here. It's ridiculous. Oranges? I can't see fiery forages. Um, and they would just bring her alive, basically, as soon as I put these only gonna be You see what I mean? So soon as I put this on there, I mean, look, that that's beautiful and just introducing smaller flowers into different areas. It's gorgeous. Gorgeous. Maybe one year, Um, and I'm Canada's leaving it as a head rest of the moment and not technically, anything else. Um, so, uh, I'm gonna add this red, Um, And here, like, maybe in just three areas, just and I love the way might make that lighter it about just so that we can see it a bit, but are again, um, so and then also maybe just line. So building the layers, I think I'm gonna make that bit by bit lighter. It's that kind of illness. Only two blue still be blue, but this, like toe just to make her hair stand up a little bit so you can see that, um look clear. Uh, no. Next autism and a little bit. You can see what that looks like. Isn't she gorgeous? Absolutely gorgeous. And I would be very tempted, I think, to put a little bit of pink in her actual cheeks here. And I'm not sure if I want to do that. I don't really want to spoil what we have. So I'm going to say I just leave it alone. But it's just the way that looks. And then it can introduce some white over some other areas. So just that idea off, Um, making that more this brighter and brighter. Really? Um, with other flowers. And so just, uh, a couple. We got a little yellow in that, I think, where I would technically add another one. But I think that somehow and then try and get some of the white. The eyes by air is supposed to be white. So trying to do that just basically just trying. Teoh, I like some other stuff to you. So, um, I can draw some more over this as well, and it's just beautiful. I really love the way she's turned out. And once his dry, he can always go over this with the mark a pan and create
9. Final Layer : so I think she's amazing. Just beautiful. Um, she looks gorgeous at this stage. So what I'm gonna do is now I am going to get my point, e, um, shaper brush and go into the Jessel and actually put the highlights in the eyes that you usually see in the pieces that I do. Uh, right. It's presuming a little bit. So the eyes air there, and I'm going to try and do this because it's still a little wet all around. Yeah, that's not really it. It was just And this just brings the eyes alive straight away. As soon as that reflection goes in, it's amazing. The difference. So that's the reflection. And then since, um, usually out to this kind of a thing as well, some tryingto you could get this so wrong. But this spooling a little bit, so they're slightly different. But you get the idea and I can always make it fine. Tune it with a brush or something like that as well. So her nose here, I feel, is not quite as, um, most over the kids. Uh, yeah, but it could be a little bit better. Um, so you can go in and start puttin, you know, colors and different ways that to kind of get the lips and different details, right? And I kid, I don't want to ruin this. So that's what my problem is at the moment. So I don't want to put any pink on her cheeks, because usually I would have put some other colors. But sometimes it's fine for them to be blend. And I think I have just remembered something else I did with the pieces before, which was put some dots around the piece, which really loved in her here. So that's quite cool with them, a smaller than others. Just It also just highlights where the hair is a little bit as well, but I love to 10. You can always use like a posco pan. For this, a swell it doesn't have to be. The acrylic is a delicate thing to do. You could get it wrong, and l just do some nonsense, Um, and maybe might make some bigger splotches off. Could be flowers somewhere else. Things just around so that I can trails him stuff with my am what my market pens later on to make little flower stems and things. Uh, so, yeah, there's just different things you can add to the peace to make it all. You know, unique fun can do more to her top. Um, I just left it this way. You can draw more into it. You can do a lot more things. Um, I just basically have left it mainly like this. So I didn't want to do too much. Yeah. So that's the piece for this class. Um, thank you for joining me, Andi. I will see you in the next class, and I hope you enjoy this. Just take your time, Andi. It great to see what you create as well. And that was a lot of fun. And it went through the chaotic stages, but we pulled her back, and that's really old There is to it. It's to just keep on experimenting. Um, and even I myself will have my moments where I'm not happy with something, and I don't want to risk doing anything else with the peace. So I stopped because I'm quite scared to ruin peace. Um, so yeah, that looks great. Um, CEO. Zoom out so you can see a little bit more. Um, and so that service is quite thick paint in some areas that would dry, concede the shining this machine on the of the acrylic as it's still to dry. It's still very wet, but I love it. And, um, thank you for joining me for this class and I'll see you in the next one by.
