Acrylic Painting : 10 Days Of Miniature Landscape Painting

1. Intro: Everything in nature, in whites us constantly to be what we are. Clouds, which don't overthink, but just drift. Every sunrise gives you a new beginning and a new ending. Sky is not the limit. It's just a view. Climb mountains. Not so the world can see you. But so you can see the world clearly. The dark is tonight, produces the brightest star. Trees. Stay ground and keep growing, and know when to stop. Just like moon, we also go to so many phases. Let the waves Getty you where light cannot. A strong person and a waterfall always carve their own part. And finally, like the river, which never stops flowing until it reaches the ocean. This life is your opportunity to continue flowing down the path of enlightenment. Hello, my name is acrylic artist from many of you know me. I love doing the job. So this time I have for you back at each other elements in this class we'll be basically painting, then miniature paintings, acrylic medium, and posting it every day like one video at a time, one element at a time. And also there will be one for this class for you so that it gives a prize. So stay tuned for that also. Let's start with our first day of painting and slowly read through every day with all that stuff. 2. Materials Required: So now let's discuss about the materials which will be needed for completing these paintings. So the base is the MDF board and magnet sheet. Then the water container, tissue paper, the ballot. And these are the brands of colors which we'll be using. And these are the masking tape, ruler and pen, and these are the brushes. So let's start. 3. Clouds - Drawing Rough Sketch: Hello oils. So let's start first the isopod. So these are the MDF boards of four inch size. And these are magnets sheets, which is cut out and round shape and which will stick on the backside of this MDF board. So this will be, this is the base which we will be using. And before using, we'll apply this JSON from liquid texts. So we'll just take out the JSON in this palette. And just like we paint the base, we will be applying this object so over this MDF board. So similarly we will be doing on the ten MDF. So this is one of them which I'm just showing you. And you guys have to do it on all the den MDS. I'm just showing you one. So if this Jesu is take enough, there are many types of gestural somatic also, if it is thick, you can also apply a little bit off water in it and then apply one or two coats of this Jesu. In this MDF I've applied to codes of Jess. Jess was actually very important when you are painting on any MDF base or any wooden base or Canvas. So Jesu is the medium which blockings the poles of these Woodson canvases so that the color remains on the top of it and it does not absorbed and faded. So that's why it's very important to apply, Jess. So when you are using Canvas or any wooden base, c, I've applied one code on it. So once it is dried-up, will apply second coat, the same way like we have applied on the first code. So this is one of the MDF which I have already applied to code so fat and also take the magnet behind. Similarly, we will be doing for all the ten base. So now let's first start with the first magnet. This is the picture which we'll be painting. So let's first draw the sketch with a pencil. Just a rough sketch of the clouds and the mountain. So this is the center point. The first element which we are doing is the clouds. So the main focus will be on the clouds rather than the mountains. So the first element of nature is the clouds. Just drawing a rough sketch of the clouds. And then the mountains, which are overlapping one another. Now once we are done with the sketch, will do the blocking. And the whole demo paintings, miniature paintings. I'll be uploading every day. The paintings not in one go. So every day I'll be uploading one magnets. 4. Clouds - Blocking: So now let's start with the blocking. So these are the colors which we are using. Naples, yellow bond, Dumbo to Danny and white, black and Winsor blue. And the brushes which we'll be using here is the flat brush. This is the filbert brush size to Bristol filbert brush size to n, rigger brush size 0. So let's first use the filbert brush for filling the upper area. So here I'm using the same filbert brush of size two. Since it is a small paintings where I'm using a smaller size of this brush. It depends upon the size of the canvas which we are using. Though, I'll be adding ultramarine blue also do it because this Winsor blue is quite light. I'll be just adding little bit of ultramarine blue to this Winsor blue. So here I've taken ultramarine blue. So now I'll be just blocking the entire above sky with my filbert brush. This is synthetic brush which I'm using. And you can see I've just wet my brush. I'm not applying any water to this color. Just wet my brush and I'm just using this color. So whenever you are using acrylic medium, you don't have to use a lot of blood amount of water. You just need that much amount of water so that it is blending is easy for you. But you're blending is not required. We're just blocking in this whole sky with one color. Just taking care of this whole layer of clouds and just blocking the above area. You can see this color is bit translucent, so we'll be doing two coatings of this blue part. So now once this above Skype part is done, we'll move towards the Cloud one. So just blocking in one more time to give it a smooth finish. Now, using my same brush with same amount of color, I'm not taking extra blue, I'm just using the color which is on the brush and taking white. And I'm just blocking in that entire Cloud area. So filled with brushes. Very nice when you are creating clouds because it is round in shape. And you can create that round contours with this round shape filbert brush. This is the brush which is of size two I'm using here because this is a miniature painting and it's very small in size. So you need to use a smaller size brush. But when you are you a bit, but when you are painting bigger paintings, you can use bigger size filbert brush. It depends upon the size of Canvas which you are using while painting the landscapes or clouds. So you can see, I have not taken extra blue colors in this. I'm just using the same amount of color which is which was on the brush and just mixing it with titanium white and giving shape to the clouds. So this is the first blocking which we are doing. The detailing will be doing after this blocking. But in this painting the main focus is on the clouds, because this is our first element, that is the clouds. So we'll focus more on this cloud part rather than the mountain. But now once we are done with the top part, so let's take this bond, umbo and black mix and little bit of Naples, yellow. So I want a little muted colors, so that's I'm trying to create. So the reason of adding Naples yellow to create some greenish texture because when the yellow and black is added, it gives a light greenish texture to it. So that's what I'm trying to create. I don't want it to be complete green. It's brownish also at the touch of green also. So color mixing and deciding which color to use is basically a very important part of painting. Any painting which you are choosing as a picture. First process is the color part, which, what color we need to use. This comes with practice and experimenting the mixing of colors. So when I started painting, I was also not sure which color to use, but with experimentation and color mixing. Gradually, I came to know when to use which color. See there are so many mountains which are overlapping one another. So plus mountain has done. So net comes the second 1. First 1 is already done. Now the second one is quite light. So just applying more of Naples yellow so as to distinguish between the mountains. Because that is also very important to black and just align so that these two mountains are distinguished. I'll just adding white to it. And just blocking in the space. Ys all blockings you can do with the flat brush also. But here I'm using filbert brush because the same brush which I used for the entire painting. So the same brush I'm using here for this blocking also. So very slowly you need to do because these are very small miniature paintings. You need to take care of this things. Because the more you practice small miniature paintings, the more hands-on you get. This area is quite light, so I've added more of Naples yellow to it. You can see already vital blocking the shapes are coming. And we just need to do the detailing after doing this blocking. Now let's start with that upper one, so that is quite dark. So I've just taken bond Dumbo. So let's take black also because that is an adjoining Mountain which is joining the first one. So now this is done blocking part. 5. Clouds - Detailing: Now let's begin with the clouds. So creating contours. So this is first, let's do that top part first. You can see it's quite translucent, so I'm just applying one more quote of the same color, which we used earlier. So that it looks like finished painting. Can see same brush I'm using the J used before. So now you can see the opaqueness of the color when we are doing this toward code on this upper sky part. So now let's start with the clouds. Brush we're using here for the clouds. Also. Just washing my brush off, removing excess over water. And then just taking this color white color on my tip and creating some round shapes. Just using that tip of the brush and creating the shapes. This brushes already half round in shape, so it will be easy for you to create those counters. And see, I'm just first applying on the tip of the clouds. And then we will do the inner part. So just mixing that color a bit. Again, taking white on the tip of the brush and creating shapes. So clouds are actually very tricky when it comes to painting its needs practice. And more patients for creating such Guan does, the more you do the lettering on the clouds, the more realistic it looks. You can see I'm just doing the edges first, just giving the shape to the clouds before going inside. Now let's create the inside shapes. So just digging with just taking the colors on the tip and creating this circular shapes, half circles you can say. And removing excess of white and just mixing the color. So this you can do with this presto brush also. But I think with this synthetic brush, it will go nicely with the same brush I'm using. And again, I'm creating some big quantities adjoining that same gander and giving shapes, removing excess of color and just blending the entire lower part. I haven't I'm not destroying that lines which I have already drawn. The shapes I'm doing is I'm just creating this shape and then removing excess of color, just trying to give the shape like the clouds one. And thus removing excess of color and just moving the brush in the circular motion and blending that color. I'm not touching that line which I've drawn. I'm just blending the color into that space. Likewise, you have to create this small contours and remove X's are wide and just blend it. This is one of the easiest technique of creating clouds. You can see I've just taken very small amount of this white color and I'm just Mixing it and if your brushes dry than just wet your brush, remove excess of water and take little amount of color and then start doing this glazing thing. This is called as glazing, like we can see the back portion, but the above portion is quite different color. This is something like glazing technique which we are doing here. And you can see I'm creating and the shapes and overlapping it one on the Ananda. So that it gives some realistic looks to the clouds. Again, just filling this area. So again, taking white and just moving the brush and the circular motion, taking very little amount of color and just filling these spaces. So again, just wetting my brush, taking very little amount of white and just overlapping on those areas. You can deaths such a thin white color so that you can see that background lines also that you have to create for creating these clouds. So again, I'm creating contours on the top. So the above, our shapes a little smaller in size. And as we go down the shape size increases. So this is the pattern which we have fall following. Read the shapes are coming and just blocking the lower portion, which is quite white. Now once this is done, there are clouds which are on the top of the clouds, like the clouds which are floating over the clouds. That also we have to create. Creating more shapes. You can see already these clouds are looking like realistic. This is like the basic details which we are doing for creating such clouds. And always use synthetic brush for creating these clouds. And let's create the clouds which are on the top of the clouds. After this, let's add a little bit of black, white, and a little bit of blue, also. Very small amount of blue and more black because it is quite darkish, bluish green color. So now on the top of it, I'm just creating the shapes. These are actually the clouds which are on the top of the clouds. So that's what we are creating. So just creating the cloud shapes, random shapes, very light pressure to the brush. And I'm just creating the shapes. And little white mixing to the same color and again, creating the shapes over to creating layering on the top of those clouds. Adding and leaving the shapes. Leaving the outlines, you can say. In taking more of white, again, there's washing my brush off. Again, taking more of white and just applying on the top of this. So the more layering nucleate in the clouds, the more realistic these clouds look. Actually. This is how we create simple clouds. This is not yet over. We need to outline the above clouds also before we end up this Cloud section. Using my liner brush, that is rigger brush of size 0. And I'm just outlining these clouds. Just, oh, I've wet my brush and taken this take color. And I'm just outlining this outer portion. That this outer portion look more vibrant and more sharp. So you can see I'm just outlining this outer portion and also altering some shapes also. This is the complete cloud shapes. And there's something on the lower section of the clouds also. So it's bit off the same color, that dark color. And I'm just moving my brush and soak low motion and this filling this area. 6. Clouds - Mountain Detailing: So finally, now coming to the mountains. So here I'm using my filbert brush, just dry filbert brush and taking black just on the tip of the brush and creating some small textures. Just using the tip of the brush and creating small, small, fine details. And just blocking in this very light pressure you have to put in to create this small dots on the entire surface of these mountains. It creates a very nice texture and look off the mountains. So just doing this for the entire mountain area. So also taking this bond amber and creating these lines which divides these mountains. Just dabbing my brush, the tip of the brush and I'm creating those lines. These are pretty dark. So I've just added black also to it. So now we will be using our rigger brush and this black and bond on Bluemix, we will be creating small lines which will depict the distant tree. So before that, let's first draw the lines and shapes to this mountain. Whenever you are creating these fine details, the color has to be in liquid form. Because of the color is take you'll not be able to create those fine lines. So now, after creating these lines, I've just added a little water to it and a little bit of Naples. Yellow to give a greenish touch to this lines. And just creating vertical lines over these adjoining lines, which are giving shape to the clouds. Just on the edge of the clouds, I'm creating some vertical, small, small lines which will depict the small trees at a distance. So it will resemble like some distinct bushes or trees are there on the top of this mountain. You can see the color has to be in liquid form to create such fine lines. Top lining, I'll be filling this vertical lines. Some are big, some are small. So these small, small textures plays a very important role for creating some beautiful paintings. And these, these miniature paintings are not only gives you practice, but also helps you to build your muscular exercise, your hand brush exercise, and do more fine painting you will do the more you practice. It all depends upon how much you practice, the brushes and color mixing and the paintings. So start with do doing miniature paintings rather than doing big canvas. And see that top one, it's done. So the line which is joining the second mountain, I'm creating again vertical lines over there, also. Some dots and between some lines in between the mountains also. These small, small details actually adds beauty to the entire painting. To just lines. Can see these are very close lines which will look like the trees which are together. So all this painting is almost complete. Only few details are left. And we are done with this first miniature painting. So always create fine line brushes whenever you are creating such small details. So now let's create some more textures using this Bristow filbert brush, adding white and Naples yellow, again, creating some textures. This has very fine dots, textures which I'm creating very light pressure to the brush. My brush is completely dry without any water. And I'm just creating these small fine dots on the entire surface area. I'm adding little bit bond number also to give some textures. These, now let's do the top one also is a very fine textures. Now, the top one is quite light in color. So that's why I've added white to it. And just very light pressure to the brush. And just using the tip of the brush, I'm creating these torts. Very light. Just I'm touching the surface. I'm not pressing it. So you can see already it's looking really very beautiful. I hope ****, you guys are also enjoying this. And don't forget to share your project. Bach, I love to see those. Again, taking my rigger brush and creating some lines in-between these mountains. And finally, we are almost done with this painting. So now we will do the second painting. That is the second miniature painting. And let's see what element it is off nature. 7. Sun - Blocking The Sky: Now let's start with our second painting. That is the second element, that is the sun. So here we're mainly focusing on the sun. So this is the sketch which will be picture which we'll be painting. So let's start. Let's first draw the sketch. So there's a center line, so which we'll be drawing with the masking tape. Instead of drawing with scale, you can use pencil to draw that line also. But here I'm using my simple masking tape to draw a line in the center. So this is not exact center, but a little bit below it. So just now we will just draw the below part that does the Grass Pad. And we are done with the sketching, not much sketching we need to do with this painting. So just a little bit down the middle one, we'll be drawing the hills after removing that masking tape. This is it. So not much of the sketching. And yet is that line which is little dark for just I'm drawing it. So it's okay. So let's now start with the painting. Let's discuss about the colors first. So these are the colors which we will be using. Let's start. Black, danny and white. Cadmium yellow, Alizarin crimson bonds, sienna, cadmium orange, and lemon yellow. There's one more color that is the bond. These are the brushes which we are using that as an extra brush, that is the blender brush list all are same. And then there's a pen cap which will be creating circle that is the sun with this band gap. Start with walking. For the blocking. I'm using the same lot size filbert brush. That is of size two. And we'll just be blocking this area. And color mixing is very important when you are doing this such type of painting. So let's take a little bit of white then, Alizarin, crimson and black little bit. So it's kind of a purply grayish shade which I'm trying to create a whale. And the top part of the sky is the scholar. So first I'll be starting with the top part. You can see I haven't used much of water. It's just that the brushes wet and I'm just using same raw color and I'm just trying to blocking the whole background. So this is the first color which I'm using after mixing two or three colors. Then as we go down, the color becomes little bit warm colors. So that will be creating by mixing these colors. I'm just washed my brush and taking this cadmium yellow and a little bit of alizarin and white mix. So I wonder quite a light color actually. Just adding little water to wet. And again, I'm taking cadmium yellow alizarin mix, a little bit of white and just blocking this below. So now you can see there is a line in between. So I'll take again that same color and I'll just blend both the colors. Because for blending both the color has to be wet. Then only you can blend the colors. If both the colors are not wet. You cannot blend the color. That's why I used first color because that was already dried up and the second color was wet. So I just took the first color and then started that blending. Now, as we're moving down, it's more of a warm color. So now here I'm using my pen cap and taking this lemon yellow, just very little amount of color. And I'm just trying to create a circular shape on the center part of this. Canvas. So just creating a circle with this. And after that we'll be blocking the entire site area. So that center is actually quite white. So I'm just leaving it as it is for time being. And then we will do the color mixing afterwards. So again, taking this cadmium yellow medium and white mix and just applying on the outer circles. So now we are just moving towards the warm color and just taking orange, cadmium orange and then applying on the second layer is taking a little bit water and just applying the second layer of color. After that again, Alizarin crimson little bit, burnt sienna and white mix. And applying on the sides. You can see there are a lot of color mixing over there. And this comes with practice that what color to use. So in this, you also learning some nice color mixing techniques. These are quite nice and bright colors and it looks very nice when it comes to like sunset or sunrise painting. So in this case, our main element is sun. So we are mostly focusing on that. So here I've just mix alizarin, cadmium yellow, burnt sienna. Same color, but a little bit. And then white. Talk a little bit more of burnt sienna and a little bit black also. Just applying it. More. And blonde number also. And just applying the lower side. You can see my color was rank. So I've just added a little water with my brush. And then again, taking cadmium yellow, just washing off my brush. And taking this round brush that is round blender brush. And then applying white in the center. This brush is actually very nice. It is from Kingston and a size six round blender brush. Just blending the colors. So this brush is not wet, it's completely dry. And I'm just using the dry brush and the colors to create these shapes. Just trying to blend the colors. Now again, taking white and creating that round circle now again, washing off my brush. And then taking the dirty bit too white in the center. So this is also a dry brush. It's still wet, but it's not so wet that I've just removed excess of water from this brush and then I'm doing it. I'm just trying to blend it nicely. Now, this is the line which we need to blend it. So first, we need to take some lighter color. That same color I'm creating, which is that upper color. That is quite popular. Gray shade, which I'm trying to create. I'm now adding little amount of water toward so that I can blend it. And then just adding this color to the upper area first. And then slowly going downwards with this darker shade that is orange and Alizarin mixed color. And just taking a little bit too wide also, because not quite dark. And just mixing the color C. Now this is, this mixing is very important because both the colors are wet. So you can easily mix both the colors. Whenever you have to blend two colors, both the colors have to be wet. Then only you will be able to blend both the colors if one of the color has dried. And again, you have to apply the same color which is dried. And then you need to blend both the colors. This is a technique which is used in acrylic for blending the colors. Now once we are done with this whole sky thing, we'll do the down portion, that is the reflection of the sun, which is falling on the water. It's actually so you can see how nicely this blender brush creates magic with this blending technique. So now again, I'll take this cadmium yellow and create this cool effect around the sun to give it a more brighter look. You can see already that brightness is coming up. So now again, we will use that same color, that above top color, removing excess of water. Because we don't want much of water when we are using acrylic. So just creating that same color, that above color. And again, I will just blend that area. You can see how nicely this is blending. But this blender brush, this brush is actually very important when it comes to the blending part. Now once we are done with this whole thing, the top part, we will be moving towards this down part, just creating little round circular effect of the sun, which is coming. 8. Sun - Blocking The Water: So now let's paint the lower part. So let's not take this out first. Let's paint this lower part first and then we'll take out this middle area. So for this lower part first we will use the same brush we'll be using. And the first color we'll be using is this bond amber and black mix for creating this line. Little bit more color and just the line. And then there's again another line. Let's first mix this three colors like we did earlier. Same color which we created earlier and unjust. We're just blocking in a little bit of lemon yellow also, so that the color becomes opaque. And just applying it a little bit white also, this alizarin and cadmium yellow and cadmium orange mix. So just covering that area. And then the below areas quite dark. And that is the darker shadow or something. Just adding bond, Dumbo and black mix and creating this dark water effect. Before all these painting, I'm using synthetic brush, as you can see. I'm just covering this area. Just a little horizontal line, quite thick. I'm just blending the scholar are again using the same orange which we used earlier for this upper part, little bit of buoyancy and also added to what, an orange and cadmium yellow toward little bit too white. And then I'm also trying to blend that dark portion, also, leaving that lower portion. I'll be covering this entire area that does the water. After that, the slower grass area will be blocking in wet black color. And see how bright this color is when you use so much mixing of the colors. So this is very important when it comes to the color mixing. You should know how to mix the color and how much amount. As you can see, I'm using very little colors of mixing. So you don't have to make pseudo-mature amount of color. You can mix very little amount of colors and then try the color combinations. I'm just creating a little bit darker value. This is darker. So once we are done with this water part, so we will now be doing this lower grass area. This we will be blocking in that black color. So you can see I'm just using this raw color and my brushes. Let me read that much amount of water I'm using here and I'm just blocking in this at DIA lower part. After that, we will be doing this upper. That is the land area which is in middle, which is where masking tape is there, so that we will be doing. And this shadow part is also loved. 9. Sun - Blocking The Mountain: So now let's take out this masking tape. You can see both the colors have dried and such nice straight lines are being created by using this masking tape. And now we will create this island which is in between that, that water and the sky. Let's use this bond on board and black and a little bit of white. So it's quite muted colors. So that's why I'm creating, I'm adding white to it. Just trying to cover this entire middle portion. The same color, just adding a reward because it's quite dry, the color is just creating the island or land which is in-between. Suggest taking a little bit of alizarin and just filling this entire area. We need to do it very slowly so that the colors doesn't come out. So now I'll be using my liner brush to create these lines. So above I'm just creating small, small lines. But before doing that, I'll first create the lines and then I really does shape to it. And then I'll create the lines. And the slower, also just creating a single line. And then I fill in this area. Now again, taking a little bit of orange. Actually black only because this side, it's black and orange is actually in the middle. So just creating small, small lines so that it looks like a distinct trees or bushes are there. The center I'm leaving because I'll create it with some orangey color. And then taking cadmium orange, mixing it with little black and creating these lines in the center area. Where does send reflection is there? So these actually very small, small details which creates magic to the painting. Very small details which we need to take care while we are doing such kind of paintings. Just blocking in this lower area is black and burnt umber mixing a little bit off white. Just covering this whole lower portion very gently. Now once this is done, aching white and a little bit of cadmium yellow and creating shadow effect of the sun. Which is in the middle and below, leaving that darker portion. Just taking a very raw color without running water. Because we need quite brighter look off this shadow. Again, just washing off my brush and just taking a role White. Take row wide and just applying just below to it. And also the loading dock shade. And then taking little bit of lemon yellow, very small amount of lemon yellow and adding on the sides of the white. You how bright this is looking. Now with my liner brush, I'm just giving it a shape. Just little shape toward yellow also. Adding to the corners. You see how bright this reflection is looking. Now just staying a little bit more of white and mixing a little bit of black and just covering this whole that middle area because it is actually very dark and we want light effect just like a foggy thing, which I'm trying to create a whale. Just adding caddy and also removing excess of color. And it's quite removing excess of color. Just applying a very fine layer on the top of it. The color is very transparent and I'm applying it so that the below color is also seen. 10. Sun - Final Detailing: Now let's start creating the grasses. So this is actually the last part of the painting which we are doing and little bit more detail things we will do for the sky and then we are done with it. So just with my rigger brush and using this black color, I'm just creating some fine lines, fine grasses. So the color has to be in liquid form to create such grasses. And you can see these grasses are in different directions, somewhat horizontal or vertical, some water in diagonal directions. So whenever you are creating grasses, just makes sure that the color is in liquid form and you are creating the lines, vertical lines in different directions. So likewise, I'll be completely filling this entire Bellow area. And some grasses are tall, some are short. So make variations so that it looks like a real grass. If your lines are being created, like take lines. So try to make that color in liquid form and use rigger brush off small size and very light pressure to the brush. And with just the tip of the brush, you have to create these lines. You can see I'm just using my tip of the brush to create these fine lines. Now once we are done with these lines, will now move towards this upper area. And I'm using that small size filbert brush and taking burnt umber. This darkening, this lower line little bit more. And this line a little bit more lines I'm just creating in this water effect to create some water effect. And now let's test some shadow, which is there on the mountains. So that also will be creating. So just taking orange and just applying on this center area, like it looks like the reflection of the sun, which is falling on this small land area. Mm-hm. Oranges already transparent. So you can see the below colors as well. Just adding a little water and just spreading the colors on the other board decides. So now let's do some more detailing of this whole top sky. Just a little bit more round shapes. This is our final detailing which we are doing very little amount of color I need for creating some effects. So making that same shade. And I'm just trying to block the sides portion of the sky. Let my blender brush. And again, just taking that same color which we used above, very small amount of color. And I'm just trying to blend both the colors. So when you do this small miniatures painting, you get more confidence when you are doing the bigger one because the bigger one is easy to do. But when you are doing that small size paintings, it's very difficult to paint. And when you are practicing more on these small canvases, you get more hands-on and more practice. And your painting skills also improve. So I think whenever you are starting any painting, first start with the small paintings instead of using bigger canvas. Final level of blending. I'm just doing, giving more shape to this son parte. Little lemon yellow. So just keep in mind that both the colors will only blend. Then both the colors are wet. Just keep that in mind. Whenever you are blending two colors, bring more of white in the middle. So my wife has almost dried off. So let's see if I can do it. No, it's not coming. See outlining it. So again, I'm taking just a little bit more amount of white, just adding in, in a middle to give it a more brighter look toward. So finally, we are done with our painting. So if you are trying this painting ******, share me in your project work, you can also tag me on my Instagram. That is more an art gallery. 11. Stars : Blocking The Sky: So let's start with our next painting, which we'll be mainly focusing on the night stars and night light. So let's discuss about the colors first, which we'll be using here. The first color is cadmium yellow, burgundy, Prussian blue, cerulean blue, pale violet, white, and black. And the brushes which we'll be using here is all same brushes except few brushes. These are same brushes except the blister. That is the round and flat brush, which we'll be using here. So these two, the brushes are different except Paula same. So let's start with first, the sky painting. So first we'll be using our filbert brush for blocking the sky. Sky is a magical sky, so we'll be needing lot amount of colors. As you can see you. We'll be using the darker color that is Prussian blue and a little bit of black mix. So just starting from the top corner. So it's like a diagonal painting, like a triangle shape painting we'll be doing here. So I'm just adding little white because as we go down, the color value starts decreasing. So you can see the upper is quite dark and as we're moving down its light. So this is just adding surrealism, blue and Prussian blue and a little bit of burgundy and white mix. Taking little amount of water in my brush. And just again, starting with filling the color. You can see on both the sides, I'm applying same color. The movement is in diagonal form, but in a form of triangle. You can see on both the sides you have same colors. So just mixing the color and blending in nicely. And now, taking small amount of burgundy and pale violet. I'm just blocking in the lower portion. Taking more white. Again, blocking in can see it's coming like a triangular shaped form when we are blocking the colors. And I'm also blending it simultaneously. Make sure that whenever you are blending two colors, the colors has to be wet. Then only you will be able to blend those colors. So now I'm digging more of pale violet and burgundy mix and a little bit of yellow and then applying below because this is quite pinkish purple shade. So that's what I'm trying to create. And again, adding little bit of yellow one burgundy and white mix. And then just applying on the lower portion. So just applying the colors. And then after washing off my brush, we'll try to blend these two colors. I'm just washing off my brush, removing excess of water from my brush, and then trying to blend both the colors. The board the colors would only blend if they are wet. Otherwise you'd have to apply both the colors again to blend it. So again, taking this hello, black and little bit of helium and Prussian blue mix and y it also, again applying on the top because the top is quite dark actually. So that's what we're trying to create over you. And again, light shade. Just applying. One more, quote. So when you apply one more quarter with the blending of the colors and the mix of the colors become more prominent and more smooth. So at least whenever you are doing any blocking, it leads you should do twice that blocking thing so as to make a nice blending, smooth blending. So you can see I'm altering the colors also a little bit where I feel like it's dark because it quite light color when we are going down. Now you can see there are two lines in between the two colors. Now I'm just washing off my brush, removing excess of water and aldehyde, try to blend these two colors. So instead of using the same brush, you can use blender brush also for blending such thing. This is also nice for blending two colors. You can blend, blend with the same brush also, and you can blend with blender brush also. It's up to you how you blend your colors. Just mixing board burgundy and cadmium, yellow and white. And just adding it below. And again, we'll be blending these two colors because you can see there are two lines. Your brush not have water in it when you are blending the colors. And the colors has to be dried wet when you are blending two colors. So you can see here it is, right? So I have added both the colors and then I'm trying to blend it. Again, see how vibrant this so color is, this burgundy and yellow mix. So blending is very important when it comes. So let's blend from this blue one also. Just trying to mix these colors properly so that there are no lines in between these colors. Just adding a bit more of pale violet. And blending is very important when it comes to create disguise of different colors. Mixing the top part goes, there are lines. 12. Stars : Blocking Trees: So now let's start with the trees. So for the trees, we'll be using a liner brush, that is the rigger brush and black color. So just taking black color and creating force the lines from smaller lines to bigger lines like this. We'll be moving forward. And then we'll be creating this pine tree. Now, let's create the tree leaves. Just small, small dots and make sure that your color is quite liquid form. And the leaves are in the upward direction, as you can see. So similarly, we will be doing the rest of the trees also. So you can see I'm just creating the leaves and the lines which are in upward direction. Let's create a triangle shape so that it'll be easy for us to create a nice shaped tree. And also blocking this area, also the triangle part. And the middle area, we'll be filling with these same color, which we have done the upper one. So first let's create this triangle and then we'll be filling that gap which is left and in-between. So now taking my filbert brush and same color and just filling this area, which is left white. We can also do it in the first goal when we're doing the Skype bot so that it'll be easy for us to fill in. I'm doing after creating this lines. So you can do before also. You can see I've just filled the entire area. And then we'll start creating the trees. So first let's create the second tree, which is so you can see how I'm just moving my brush. I'm moving and creating some random shapes in the upward direction. There are many ways you can create this pine trees. There are different types of pine tree. This is one of them which I'm creating. So again, D, Todd, one. We also have to create these stars. So after doing this, we'll be creating this task so that drops doesn't fall on these trees also. So let's first do this tree and then we'll create this. Does 13. Stars : Final Detailing: So similarly, we need to do the rest of the tree is also met. My same rigor brush. So just blocking in the triangle shape. So once we are done with blocking part, we will be first creating these stars. Creating this task, we need this Bristol flat brush. So what I'll be doing here is just taking water and white color. And with my finger, I'll be just spraying this color. On this background. You can see how nicely those small, small dots are coming up. So likewise, just taking little bit blue. And again, just sprinkling it using my finger and just trying to sprinkle it. You can also use your toothbrush if you have to create this effect. Now, in the middle, it's quite stories. I'm just using white and violet color and just using my tip of the brush, I'll create this texture. So very light brush pressure and creating these dots, which is going till the topmost sky. Lower is little bit take n as we go up, it's bit narrow. So this is the pattern which I'm trying to create. So again, taking violet and just my tip of the brush, I'm creating this texture, very light brush pressure you have to give. Just adding little bit of burgundy and creating some effects decides. Then again, digging a little bit of blue and white mix. Little bit of burgundy also. Just adding on these sites. So that it makes a little bit darker color on these sites. It's very important that the brushes now again, I'm taking my round brush, that is round brush to brush and just creating this dots. Just trying to cover the entire lower or area also and till the upper end. Or like this way you can create some good starry nights. You can see how nicely these stars are looking. So just small few dots, big dots with white. And now you can see that the white sprinkle has also come up on that black one. So that'll be just covering it. Because I don't want on these trees. Now, we'll start creating the tree texture, which we were doing earlier. Just same three textures with my rigger brush. I'm just creating these textures. I'm also removing those white spots which are reflecting on this tree. So when you are painting, when you guys are painting, first create the stars and then create these trees. That will be easy for you to create the trees afterwards because the sprinkle will not fall on your trees. Just creating some textures on the trees. So make sure that these textures are very close together so that, that line is not visible. That line which we have drawn that triangle line, it should cover the entire triangle line area. It should be that close. Can see that I'm trying to cover the entire that line area so that that line is not visible. So I hope you guys are enjoying this class. And if you're drying this painting to share your project works. And also on my Instagram that is more money on Gary. You're always welcome to tag me there and share your artworks and projects. So whenever we do such small miniature paintings, It's kind of a practice that we do whiting, It's the best way to practice any kind of painting. So that's why I taught to create these miniature paintings so that you can practice a bit and it's a good hands-on practice when you are a beginner or intermediate level. Similarly, we will be doing the entire tree bot. So just enjoy the process and make sure to cover this entire triangle area when you are creating such textures. Once we are done with this whole triangle part. So we almost complete this entire painting and just some few details are left. I'm just trying to cover the entire triangle so that it is not visible. And finally, we're almost done with this painting. And if you are trying this painting, please do. Tag me on my Instagram also, I love to see your project works. Just a bit of white effect in between. 14. Sky : Blocking The Sky: So now let's start with the next element that is this guy. So this is the Canvas and these are the colors which we'll be using, the first color. And this is the painting which we'll be doing like the magical sky it is. So this will be painting. This picture is not clear, but you'll see when I will paint. The colors are, the first color which I'm using here is the pale violet, cerulean blue, Burgundy, cadmium yellow, white, and alizarin crimson. These are the colors which we'll be using. So first let's tape down the smile with masking tape. So it's quite a t to 20% ratio. And I'm just creating a horizontal line. If you don't want to use masking tape, you can create the line with scale also. But I prefer using masking tape, because with this you can easily create those straight lines. So now let's start with the coloring. But before that, let's discuss about the brushes. Will be using the same brushes except the one as the comb brush off from rosemary, which is of size two, rest all are the same brushes, which we'll be using. So let's start with the sky. So here are the main center of point is the sky. The magical sky which we will be creating here. And this is default wet brush we'll be using of size two to, Let's take first cerulean blue, little bit of pale violet, and a little bit of burgundy also. Just here. We have to paint it in diagonal direction, not in horizontal and vertical, but in diagonal, like starting from the corner and then going forward. Let's paint. This color is actually little light, so we'll be adding your Prussian blue so that it becomes a little bit dark because we want a little darker than this. So let's add a small amount of Prussian blue. So now that this mix will be adding little bit of Prussian blue to make it a bit darker color because we want dark color. So again, we'll start from the top. You can see the color has darken a little bit. And then moving into and flow direction, you're just moving. So I'll take a little bit more of Prussian blue and apply on the top. And little more. Because we want the corners to be dark. And as we go down, the color value becomes more light. So now adding little bit of pale violet to it and mixing it and then applying because it's quite light color. Just adding little white also do it. And then moving down. So we don't have to fill the entire area but little bit. And then just washing off my brush, removing excess of water. And then softly blending those middle boundary, which divides the two colors. You can only blend colors when both the colors are wet. Otherwise you will not be able to blend. So this is bit light, so I'm just adding more of violet and white to it. Adding more of violet because it's light in color. So that's what we are trying to create. And then blending these two colors again. Now, adding little bit of burgundy to this pale violet. And then applying a thin line, just adding little white also. Then applying below this pale violet color and then again mixing the color. You can see that the blending only takes place when both the colors are wet. So I'm just removing excess of color and with the raw brush, I'm just blending it. Whenever you are blending, don't press your brush very hard. It should be very light pressure. And this is the synthetic brush which I'm using. Now again, adding burgundy to this. Color because we want a little bit of purplish color. And just creating little bit of cloudy shades on one side corner of the again moving the brush and just to and fro motions, very light pressure. And just creating some cloudy effect. Very light pressure to the brush when you are creating this. Now. Taking this burgundy and just adding to this pale violet, and then creating a line where that masking tape is meeting. Again. Just taking little white because I wondered the light color and just adding below this shade. So there you can see there are so many shades of color. Now you can see there are two lines which are forming so we need to blend it. So first color has dried off. So I'm just making that the same color and just trying to blend both of them. So I'm just removing excess off color and washing off my brush and then again blending it. So just blending it. And then using this alizarin very little amount and cadmium yellow to create a orangey shade. And just creating the line. Because this is quite orangey form of shade. Just creating one single line. And then yellow and white mix. On the top of it. This is the yellow color and white color mix. And then just trying to blend both the colors. Just washing off my brush. And again, taking this burgundy and pale violet and on the top of it of yellow, just adding that color. Just blending the lower part also. And again, adding little water to my color because it has dried off and just mixing this whole column. And see there are so many colors and this cloud which creates it magical sky, you can say just creating little effect of clouds. Very, very light pressure to the brush, and just creating little effect. You can see how magical this sky is looking at different shades of colors added to it. Just adding a little white in the middle portion. Take very little amount of color and then just moving the brush and the to and fro direction. So now taking again cadmium yellow and a little wide and creating little darker effect of this yellow. And then taking again this Prussian blue and burgundy and white mix and creating some clouds. Very light pressure and just moving the brush with the tip of the brush, I'm just creating random shapes and cloudy effect. And this color is completely dry. There is no water in it. So you can see how nice this effect is coming. Again, adding little white in the center. And just moving the brush in the to and fro direction. Because that middle area is quite white. So that's why I'm trying to create it more bright. This cloud painting is almost done. And then we'll start with the below portion. Just doing the final touch of this cloud painting. The more you do the layering, the more it becomes like Cloud, Natural sky you can see. So just adding little bit of that shade also. 15. Sky : Blocking The Foreground: So let's first create a little bit off more yellow to this center part. This is the main highlights. A little bit white and yellow mix between just creating a line and now taking this Prussian blue and just creating that straight line, that Prussian blue. So whenever you are creating such lines, make sure that the color is not sore. So once we have done creating this line, I will just remove the masking tape. Again. See how nicely this line has come up. Let's start filling this area. This is a water pot. So let's mix this portion. Blue answers, brilliant blue and a little bit white. And just so more of Prussian, little burgundy. And just start. So one side it is quite bluish and the other side it does more of like pinkish shade, you can say very slowly touching that upper line. I'm just covering one side of this water to just blocking in the scholar. Then on the other side it is more of burgundy and a mix of Prussian blue and white. So just covering this area. The above part is actually the line which is who love blue. So I've left that part, just taking blue and just covering the upper part. And now with my blender brush, I'll just try to blend this color. It's not blending so accurately because the color has actually really dry. But it's fine because we have to create these water effect. But this compression, this will, it will be fine because we'll cover that area. So now using my brush, just wetting my brush and taking this Prussian blue and just creating small, small lines. Just moving the brush in horizontal direction and creating smallest model line just applying on the tip of the brush the colors. And I'm just creating the lines. The above part is actually quite dark and as it goes down, this side, make soft border colors actually. So I'm just adding a little bit of burgundy also do it to make the color a little bit population just adding these small, small lines in horizontal nano. See this gives a very nice effect to the water when you are creating such lines. Similarly, I'll be covering this whole area. You have to see that all these comb lines should be separated, should not be joined, otherwise you'll not be able to create such lines. And very closely, you have to create this lanes. You don't have to leave so much of gaps in between. And make sure that all these brushes are a part that lines that cone part. If the adjoint you'll not be able to create the effect. And the color has to be in little bit of liquid form. Otherwise, this whole the color should be in liquid form, it should be and take. Likewise, we have to cover the entire area. And then we will be using burgundy of lighter color. And we'll be filling this area. Gandhi and white mix. Same technique and just applying it a little bit. So you can see how nicely that what reflectors coming up. So we will mix this blue part also so that both look combined. Just trying to blend the colors with this texture so that it doesn't look in separate. So now you can see how nice this as looking. And if you're doing this project due to share your project work and you can also tag me on Instagram, that is more art gallery. So just one line of light color to give more bright effect to it. These are very small, small details. So that's it. 16. Moon : Blocking The Sky: So let's start with our next painting, that is the moonlight. So here our main element is the moon, which we will be painting. This is the image and the colors which we are using year as white, black, Prussian blue, and cerulean blue. So these four colors we'll be using. And apart from this, the pressures all are same except one which is the bigger size for the brush. Synthetic brush and rest all are same brushes and also that form which we'll be drawing a circle. If you don't have formed, you can draw circle with a compass or with any circle thing. So let's start. So my bigger brush and taking black and Prussian blue mix and just starting from the corners side. And then we'll go diagonally to the other end. From dark coat color to the lighter color will be moving like that. So you're also, we will be doing Just nice coat of black and Prussian blue. So it's quite a dark color. And as we move towards the other side, will add little white to it to create a nice lighter shade of the color. Now adding surrealism blue. And then moving towards the other end. Slowly. Now as we are moving towards the other end, we adding more of civilian blue and less of Prussian blue. As you can see. So covering the entire area. From the darker color on the advanced side, we move to the lighter version of blue. The lighter version of brooder only will be creating the moons and the clouds. I adopt a bigger size filbert brush because it will be easy for me to fill in the color fast. If you can use a smaller size also, it's completely okay. So once this is dried up, we'll do one more coating of the color because it does not quite smooth. So we'll be doing one more coating of the same color. So we can see are two coating is necessary when you were doing the background. But you can blend two colors only when both the colors are wet. So you can see I'm just blocking in this color. But one more Good. Once this is done, we will create a now the moon, but they will take the sponge and we'll put it on the sponge with my brush and just dab, just dab it on the canvas. On one end. We can see the circle as being created. And then we'll do the detailing. Just smoothening this color because it is quite wet. So just mixing the color. 17. Moon : Creating Moon And Clouds: So now let's start with this Cloud-first. So I'm just taking this small filbert brush and white. Just very small amount of white, very little money and it's completely dry brush. And I'm just creating small, small clouds. I haven't drawn any shape, but if you are not, o give it drawing freehand so you can draw shapes also. You can see I'm just using very little amount of color. And with my dry brush, I'm trying to create some snowy, cloudy texture. And just moving my brush in this circular motion and creating small, small different shapes of cotton balls. You can see. Likewise, the whole below part is the cloud part which we will be doing, will be creating. This is another type of cloud which is quite simple Cloud and just using your synthetic brush, you can create such beautiful droughts and you don't have to press your brush very hard whenever you are creating such clouds. Just make sure that your brush is very soft and very light touch to the brush and very little amount of color to it. And your brush should be completely dry. Dry as in like you just dip in water and remove excess of water and use it for creating these clouds. So you can see, I have just fill in this lower part with different shapes of clouds. And now digging a little bit of black and mixing white to it. Very small amount of color you need to create such. In between, I'm just adding those, again. One layer of this dark color. Just doing more of white and creating more vibrant clouds. Just adding a bit of textures. Can see it's quite bright. Now. Once this is done, we'd be taking again white, a little bit of black mixed leg, grayish color you can see. And just read it, be adding a little bit of texture in between those clouds to give it a little depth to the clouds. So now taking my blender brush and then creating first the circle, just mixing it nicely. And this brush is completely dry without any water. I haven't dip the brush in water. It's completely dry brush. I'm just creating the circle, little broader circle because it is quite light blue outside and then inside it is white. So now just if the brushes getting dried off, you can add a bit more water, but if it is not getting dried off and the color is not sticky, don't use water when you are creating such round effects. Just moving the brush in the circular motion and very light pressure and creating this round effect. Now, let's create this center part. So for the center part, I'll be using this white. Very little amount of wide. And then start with the center. Just very slowly. Create the circle in the center. Just taking roll white, that's it. And then mixing the middle part. You can see already it's so bright white and just blending the outer whites little bit to give them more light effect to it. Just taking a little bite. And now this time my brushes wet and I have removed excess of water and I'm just creating some round white effect around it. So make sure that you wash. Your brush does not have water in it. Otherwise, your whole painting get spoiled. So now let's first outline this whole round moon shape. So with a quite thick color, I'm just outlining the outer area. And also filling this in dire. You have it my liner brush. So Mona's neighbors mood for we need to give some textures to wait for the textures. We will be using that grayish color, like white and black mix for creating some textures in it. Now again, just digging a little bit of wide and just blending the outside part so that it looks quite bright from outside. Also, very little amount of color you have to take when you are creating some nice transparent white effect. So yeah, this is done. So let's start with this. So one part, just filling in this with white. So after filling this entire thing with white will create some texture also. And see it's completely white. And then we'll add a bit of grayish texture using my filbert brush, using my rigger brush, I'm just take you through creating gray color and creating some random textures in it. Just some lines and dots to create some effect, moon effect. And see it's looking quite pretty. So. Now what we'll do is we'll take the Bristol brush, Bristol flat brush, and then we'll just take the brush little bit, remove X is a water and then take this white color and just sprinkle it to create stars, like we did earlier in the previous painting. So just for creating stars, we can use this bristle brush. So this is, it. 18. Moon : Final Detailing: So now let's create some more details with this moon. Because you can see it's not quite so close, just creating more circles, more accurate circle. You can see when you are doing such small painting is very difficult to adjust it because it's quite small painting. But when you are doing small painting, your learning very nice technique and your hand exercise is also being done. So it's good to practice first on small paintings. And then you get a very nice hands-on on your paintings. Then you can create on the bigger ones. Just outlining it a bit. So it's not quite smooth. So just I'm trying to smooth ended up taking more of white. Just creating more bright. Why do you can say? So now again, I'll create this outline. Just giving little final touch to the painting, but it's almost done. Just a few final touch. So that just few details which makes the painting or beautiful. Just adding more white to it. You can see now how bright and white it does. Like it's shining. And just adding little more that grayish detail also. Now let's create some more whiteness to the Cloud, but just staying wide color and with my Philbrick brush creating more, adding more white to it because it is quite bluish. Suggest on the top part I'm adding more white to the colors. So this is almost done just adding more white on the top of the clouds to give it a more like brightness to this whole night view. So we are done with this painting finally, and move on towards the next element of the painting. And if you are drying this painting, then do share me to share your project work and also do tag me on my Instagram that is more in the art gallery. This is it. Just a bit off. Little bluish effect on the sides. See the more you do the detailing, the more you will find. Okay, this is wrong, this is wrong. So this is a never ending exercise, which is really frustrating sometimes. So it's better just to stop it at a moment when you feel like Okay, it's fine. It's okay. This is actually the main part, the moon. So tasked to be perfect and round in shape. As you can see. Finally, we are done. Thank you. 19. Ocean : Blocking: So let's start with our beach painting. A fresh canvas. And this is the painting which we'll be doing. Let's first tape down with the masking tape. The center part. Just taping it more higher to the center. It's not exactly centered. The sky is little short than the sea. And then we'll just draw a rough sketch of the sea waves. And then we'll start with the painting with my pencil. I'm just drawing a rough sketch. So now let's discuss about the colors. Black, burnt umber, white, blue, and cobalt teal. So the pressures, these are the brushes which we'll be using all our same brushes. So this is the blender brush and stressed out all same brushes which we'll be using here. So let's start first with blocking with my filbert brush. Let's first take cerulean blue, and white mix. And let's start with first the top part. So the top is little bit darker and as we move down color that the color value decreases. So this is the pattern, how we'll be blocking the background. You can see as we're moving down, I'm adding more white to it. And you can see I've taken very less amount of water. I'm just using just my brushes wet, That's it. And just digging the raw color. And I'm just blending the color. So as you know, when the colors are where you can easily blend the colors. So currently my color as wet, so I'm able to blend these colors. So very softly you have to blend the colors. Very light brush pressure. And just moving the brush into from motion. And just blending the colors. White. And again, starting blue. Again blending. So at least two coats of colors you need to do when you are blocking in the background. So now let's do the C part for the C m using cobalt teal mix and cerulean blue, little bit of black. And first creating the top line. Because that is quite dark. And as we go down, the value of D increases because it is more of just covering this area. And then adding in more detail and white. And blogging in this lower portion. Again, taking deal and white. Just leaving that area which we have drawn, just covering this entire area. And then the lower portion, just adding a little black to it because it quiet show grayish green shade, actually, more of white. And a little bit of bond Dumbo. And then covering the area below it. And now digging more of burnt umber, mixing it with same color and just blocking the lower portion dark. So I'm just adding white to it. I'm just logging in this area and just removing the color and just blending it, just water so that there are no lines. And then the lower portion with burnt umber and white, more of burnt umber because it's quite dark and a little bit white. And just blogging in the area which is lower. This is the sand area which we are blocking in. Finally, blocking is done. We'll move towards the next spot. 20. Ocean : Background Detailing: So now let's create the sky and the clouds. For the clouds, I'm using the same brush that has the filbert brush of smaller size and just taking white color and dry brush, just creating some round, round shapes. So just very light pressure and very little amount of color you need to take. And just creating small, small cotton balls shapes. So very light pressure and moving the brush and the circular motion and creating the clouds. So this is another type of cloud, which is very easy and you can create it in this Cloud. In this type of cloud, you need to have the synthetic brush and very small amount of color and completely dry brush, then only you will be able to create such cloudy sky is very little amount of color you have to take on your brush so that it gives a nice feathery touch to this sky. Can see how small amount of color I'm taking. The billow clouds are very small, small. So little bit of blue also allowed. And very small, small clouds below, just the dots. We are done with this cloud but just giving more light to it. The easiest Cloud which you can create when at the beginner level. So now let's do this, remove this masking tape and fill in this area also. Now let's fill in this spot with this blue and white mix. So very light color. Actually I'm trying to create still dark. Just filling this area. So just filling this area still I'm not convinced with this spot. So let's take a little bit blue and again, fill in this area. Just trying to create another quote offered. Because I want to remove that line which is there for the masking tape. Little darker color and creating some small clouds. Sorry about that light. And so this is not coming up, right? So what I'll do is I'm not looking appropriate, so what we'll do it. So there's always a chance of overdoing an acrylic whenever you have do any mistakes. How we can do it is just add a little bit of room, filling the scholar with the same color, background color, and just adding white and blue. So why does almost finished? Just take out a little bit white. And then I'll again filling does then that area. And just with this same color, I'll just fill in this area. And after doing this, I'll just put the masking tape where that line is joining. And then we will again create the sea from that level. Again, we will just put that masking tape. This is folded so I'll take another masking tape and just applied on the line which is visible that masking tape line. And I'll just put it over there. And again, I'll just fill in that area with the same see color. And we are good with it. 21. Ocean : Detailing: So now let's fill in that area with the same color which we have used earlier, that dark color. So here I'm just taking this two colors, blue and cobalt, teal and black mix. And that my blender brush, I'll be just filling the above area. So just filling that top area with my liner brush, taking more of black and blue and just creating the line, dark line so that it divides this whole area. Now, Let's remove the masking tape and see how it looks. So nods, good, quite. So this is one of the technique how you can redo your work. Now, just creating lines with this white color. Just take white color and just trying to create some not smooth lines but the water effect. So again, see these are all crooked lines, not smooth lines because this is the water which I'm trying to create. Now creating some random dots, some dots, some lines, creating like some texture. Just lines and dots mix so that it looks like a thick layer of water, which is like a formatters coming across the shore. So in this case, you have to take a tick, tick white color for creating such textures. So the lines which are close to the shore or very close to each other and as we move away, it is little bit farther. Little bit away. It's not so close. So this is the texture that you need to create when we are painting this seashore. So once we are done with this, we'll be creating some lines over the sea also. Can see these are quite thick lines and take colors. Just random lines. And some lines on the top also. And then taking black and a little bit of blue mix and just outlining this, this waves. Just outlining this area. And then taking my pesto brush and bond amber and black mix. Just creating dots and some lines, very light brush pressure. Then filling the small, small dots on the entire land area. Taking little white, very light pressure. And just with the tip of the brush I'm creating these textures gives us a nice realistic look to the land when you create these textures with different color values. Now we're taking again blue and white mix and creating some lines. I think more darker color. Just creating. So instead of creating lines with this, we'll try creating lines with our brush because that will be fast. You can do with this also, but fifth column brush, it will be more faster than creating with this rigger brush. 22. Ocean : Final Detailing: So now let's take a brush and then again, same, this cerulean blue. I'm just creating small, small dots on this entire area. Just adding a little water because I need little fluid color. And just creating lines, horizontal lines, small, small lines with this brush. And two on the top of it. So once we are done with this, so instead of doing with this dark color, we'll be using light color, that is d, D and white. So teal and white mix and doing on the top of this dark color. Same technique. And we're almost done with this painting. Just few more details are left. This is the easiest way of creating this seashore. You can see how taking my Bristol round brush and taking white on the tip of the brush and creating some dots on the edge of the shore. Because this is quite, take some dots on this sandy Rio also. Just small dots here and there. Then with my favorite brush just adding a little more white to this cloudy urea. We're almost done with this painting. And I hope you guys liked this painting. And if you are trying to share and do tag me on my Instagram, that is more unique. Art gallery, few random lines and some more lines here and there. So we are done. 23. Mountain : Rough Sketch: Welcome back. So let's start with our next painting. So today we'll be painting mountains, something like this. So let's start with first the sketching. Let's take a pencil and just scared, do a rough sketch of it. And then we'll start with the blocking of colors. So first I'll be drawing the road which is coming out from in-between. And then we'll be drawing a rough sketch of the mountains. Just a rough sketch. And the road which I've drawn in the North from centred slightly below. So just a very fine sketch of the mountains which are overlapping one another. So this is it. And there is also lines in between the mountains so that also, I'll draw a tiny bit so that it'll be easy for us to paint and block in the colors. These are all overlapping mountains, one over the other. So there's also a mountain above the two mountains in between. Stan. So now let's discuss about the colors. So these are the colors which we'll be using. The first color is cadmium, yellow is really blue portion blue tags in purple, white, black, burnt umber, and permanent green. These are the brushes, just all are same brushes except the fan brush retweet be using for creating the grasses. Let's start with our filbert brush for blocking in the sky. For blocking in the sky. I'm just using little bit of white and cerulean blue mix to block in the above. Just blocking the above sky, leaving the mountains and just blogging it very carefully. So since one code we will be doing at least two to three codes so that it should have a smooth finish off the sky. So now let's start with the next part. 24. Mountain : Blocking: So the above mountain is quite so fast, we're just blocking in with white with my same filbert brush. After that, we'll be doing the detailing. Now let's paint the road. So I'll take take little black and white mix like a grayish color. And I'm just blocking in this spot, we're just blocking this middle part way with this grayish color. Just adding little bit of digoxin, black and white mix. It's not quite dark color, it's quite light in light dish grayish shade. Now once we are done with this road, but we'll start doing this grass area. So for this we'll be needing permanent green and black mix. Just blocking in this whole grassy area which is on the board, the sides of the pathway. So just taking black and green and just blocking it roughly. It should not be a smooth blocking and spine. If it does a rough blocking on both the sides, we'll be doing this blocking. Again, cm using very little amount of water. It's just on my brush. That's it. I'm not using extra water or am I not adding any extra water to these colors? Because it's the color. Whenever you are using acrylics, you should not use so much amount of water. Otherwise, this the brightness of the color and that freshness of the colors disappear. So it's better not to use so much water when you are using acrylics. And please don't try to use it as a watercolor because it is not a watercolor. If you want to use acrylic as watercolor, use acrylic ink. So now let's start painting the mountains. I'm just taking Prussian blue and black mix and add a bit of dioxazine purple mix. So really in blue also, just want to create a nice bluish shade off. You can see off bluish. I'm just covering the mountains. Just blocking that middle portion which I have drawn. Again, taking same color and again blocking the other side. There are some areas which are dark and there are some areas which are light, so we need to take care of that. And then adding little white to it because it's not so light color. Just adding dioxazine, purple, white, and black, offering this middle portion. So you can see here I'm using my rigger brush to paint the entire thing so that the colors doesn't come out. Because we want to, we want colors to be in that boundary. So just taking a little bit of bond amber also mix and black mix and just covering the other mountain pot. So there are varieties of shades on the mountain. So when you make so much of colors, you also get the knowledge and advantage of learning more varieties of shades. So it's better you mix the color and shake and try mixing the colors. Because it helps to us to learn more about the color variant and how can we mix the exact color when we're doing any portrayed or any landscape painting. So now comes the other mountain which is on the other side. So I'm just mixing bond amber and black and covering this entire area because there's quite a dark shade mountain. So once we're done with this, we'll do the detailing now. 25. Mountain : Detailing: So now let's start with the mountain detailing. So here I'm using my rigger brush and B2B doing the detailing for us to just taking white and just creating the borders. So the outline you can see just outlining and shaping the mountains. I'm just taking that row wide because I want to take lines. You can see the color which I'm using is quite thick and there's no water in it. So after drawing the lines, Let's create some detailing. Taking civilian blue and just outlining this area and creating small, small lines. So this is a really blue and the same mix which we have used earlier for creating the lower mountains. It's actually a black and Prussian blue mix. And the cerebrum BlueMix. This is the color which I'm using here. Just adding little white to it. And you can see these are quite take colors which I'm using and creating some details. So these are very small, small lines which will appear like there are some mountains and Hobbes on the top of the mountains. Just adding a little bit off the colors and just creating some dots and lines. So whenever you are creating such small, small, tiny lines. So let's make sure that the color is all. Take form, not in liquid form. It creates a very nice look when the whole oh, does detailing will be finished. Initially, it looks like what we're doing. It's weird, but when it's completed looks really nice. Prussian blue and black mix. Just adding some details on this darker area. Now again, taking the same color, creating some details below, adding white to it, and again creating some more details in this portion. Just like there are some snow urine there. Adding little bit of lines and urine. They're depicting like the snow area. Just lines, diagonal lines which I'm creating. Again adding cerulean, blue and black to it. And again creating some more textures in between. More you add textures and the more you do the layering of these things, the more realistic it looks. This is a small painting and it's just an beginner's class of the realistic painting. So I'm not going in so much of deep. But whenever you are doing some realistic painting, you have to do lots of layering in order to look like a realistic painting. The more you do layering and the more you do color mixing of the exact color which is being used, the more realistic it looks. You can see I'm just adding a few details here and there so that it looks more realistic form. Just adding more little lines over there. Now using my round brush and taking black and little bit of a jumble mix and creating some textures on this part of the mountain. Just taking, creating some dots with the tip of the brush. So very light pressure and my brush is completely dry without any water. And ink. Little bit of green also do it. Again, taking little bit of black on same mixture and I'm just applying what the end diode is. Green area. Over this entire green area, I'll be applying this texture. Brush actually plays a very important role when it comes to texture or some tree texture or grass texture. So whenever you have to create textures, use presto brush for creating such textures. As we are done with the class. We'll also do some like textures on the bot ways as well. To the sides of the pathway. 26. Mountain : Final Detailing: Let's start with the grass part. Now here I'm using lemon, yellow and green mix and my Bristol flat brush. I'll be creating details. So this is completely dry brush. And I'm just applying the color on my tip of the brush and just tapping my brush very gently, not very hard pressure to the brush, very light and gentle pressure. Just using the tip of the brush and creating this texture. You can also use your fan brush. If you don't have this brush. For creating such textures, it will be filling this end dire grass area with this texture technique. Now here also you can create layering and variety of green colors to create a natural scenic or grass look. This is a technique where you can create some beautiful realistic grasses. Just adding more of yellow and just creating the text shows in z these are very small, small dots which are being created. Once we are done with this grass part. So I'm just washing off my brush and now taking this round brush, round bristle brush and adding little bit of burnt umber to this green mix. And just creating some little bit black, also, just creating some dark spots which are in-between these grasses. These are very small, small minute details which makes the painting more beautiful. So it's not that I don't make mistakes. We all make mistakes at some point of time when we are doing such paintings. But we should not lose hope and we should always try. Because whenever we do something wrong, we learn something new. Now you can see I'm just using that white color very small amount, and creating the texture in between. Just in-between using my rigger brush and taking white color and just creating an outline like the border of the roads and the pathways and designs which are made on the road trying to create those signs. And this white line. You can see our painting almost complete. Only few parts are left. Adding just in between this area which divides the mountain and the road. So outlining this mountain more with white. Now, taking my brush and again, blocking in that above Skype bot because it's not quite smooth. Now you can see off the second code how it looks. Again, taking my rigger brush off smaller size, and just creating some lines with this cerulean blue and white mix. Dealing as never-ending. The more you do details, the more it looks quite appropriate. So it's, it's actually when to stop and so that your painting is not destroyed. So this painting is almost complete. Just adding more details, let fit my Bristol brush, taking black and creating some black textures which divides this pathway. And does green's Office and the mountain. And also there are some dark patches in between this green grass area. We're almost done with the spin painting. If you try this painting to share your project work, and also tag me on my Instagram, that is more Heaney art gallery. So I hope you guys are enjoying this miniature painting. And the motive behind creating this class was that you get used to acrylic paints. And the more you practice, the more you learn. So I thought of explaining each and every part of the nature element, which either it is mountain, grasses, sky, everything. So here we're almost covering everything which makes our environment are beautiful. 27. Waterfall : Blocking: So now let's start with our next painting. So this time we are doing waterfall, so this is the image. So this will be painting. So let's first draw some rough sketch offered through pencil. And then we'll start with the painting. Let's first draw the sketch. First time creating the mountain. Which is almost like diagonal and shape. And some guts in between the mountains. So that also I'm trying to draw. So it's just a rough sketch will be doing painting after that. And the lower part where the waterfall will fall. So this is the area. So not much of these sketching is. There's just a few little rough sketch so that we can paint it easily. So there's another and the lower side, that slanting area so that I'm drawing. So this is almost done the sketching. And now we will do the painting and from Yoda, waterfall will flow. So let's discuss about the colors first. So the colors are white. Surrealism, blue, black, bond, amber, and sap green. So now let's start with the painting. These are the brushes, and let's start. So first we'll begin with this guy. And this is the filbert brush will, I'll be using for this, I'll be using this cerulean blue and a little bit of black added to it. And this white color, I don't want perfectly like bluish color should be a little bit of Payne's gray tape color. You can see. So just applying turbid, just mixing the color and just applying on the top of it to starting little more white to it to make it more. Now just blocking in that whole background area. You can use your flat brush also for blocking in it's not required that you have to use your filbert brush. You can use your flat brush. Even you can use your round brush for this filling part, this background and he blocking part. So it depends, doesn't not depends upon like you have to use velvet brush here. So I felt it convenient. So I am using this filbert brush. So once we are done with this whole blocking, just mixing it a bit more. Maybe we'll have to do it one more coating after this dries up. So now let's take this bond Dumbo and black mix. And let's start with this blocking. Starting more of black to it. Because I want pretty dark color and a little tender of white. Just adding this color to the mountain. Blocking in this whole mountain area. Just highlighting these lines a bit dark so that it is more clear and visible. Just the blocking which we are doing. After that, we'll be doing the detailing. But first we are doing with this blocking part. Just taking green and covering this upper area. Just quiet greenish in color. So just blocking in the upper part. And then again taking those brownish color and governing this lower one. So only that part of areas green and a little bit below also. It's green. Just slowly proceeding with the blockings. Now, just taking again this green and little bit of mix of this. Now again taking bond amber a bit and covering the upper part. This is little bit greenish in color. So I'm just adding the green too wet and just blocking in this area. Now let's do the blocking of the lower part. Dotting more of black to it. And just blocking in this lower part. So once we are done with the blocking, now start with more of the detailing. 28. Waterfall : Clouds Detailing: So now let's start with the sky first again. So I will be doing one more layer of coding because it is not smooth. So let's add same color and little bit lighter color this time. Little bit of black to it and just blocking in with my, again, this filbert brush, just blocking in this Skype Bot. So now you can see the financial smooth. So that's what we wanted. So every day and whenever you do any blocking of the sky, at least do twice when you're using when you're painting with acrylic. So that it gives a nice finish and nice smooth to it. So now once we are done with the blocking, we will be doing the that raise that clouds. It has different Clouds this time. So we will be doing that. Now, taking this Bristol brush, flat brush and creating some textures on this mountain till the time this upper part gets dried up. So after we are done with this, small details, will be doing the Skype odd because this is currently wet so we cannot start it immediately. Once this background area will dry up, we'll create the clouds. Otherwise, this whole color will come out if you use it on a wet paint. So I'm just creating some textures on this mountain. Just using my black color and dry brush technique. Completely dry brush without any water and just creating some textures that dabbing my brush very lightly and digging very little amount of color. We just filling this entire mountain. But once we are done with this mountain, but you'll be doing this Skype portion. So you can see I'm covering the entire mountain area. But this technique, it's a very nice technique of creating textures and mountains and trees. Using my rigger brush, just creating the outline. So that when we create that clouds, we know that these are the boundaries. So that's why I'm creating just the nine to it. So that to just clear can see I'm also creating the lines mich war, which we have drawn the rough sketch to it. So now let's do the cloud part thing until it's dry it up. So let's do that first. So same brush I'm using and just taking white and it's completely dry brush. I've removed excess of water and just soak all the water and just very light pressure to the brush. And I've just taken very little amount of color. You can see I'm just creating feather reshapes. So it's like a diagonal shape, just creating some feathery shape to it. So it's like that form of cloud. So you can see we have learned so many types of cloud and while doing so many elements. So this is one type of cloud. Just feathery touch, very light touch too wet. And your brush has to be completely dried and very small amount of color to it. And just touching the tip of the brush and very light pressure. Then only you will be able to create this February clouds. You can see. So this is little bit more we can do. So you can see how I'm dying, very little amount of color and just creating feathers. 29. Waterfall : Mountain Detailing: So now let's start creating more details to this mountain area. So let's use our this fan brush and let's create the details taking white and a little bit of sap green mix. So it's kind of more white and little bit of sap green. And just applying it to the areas where we did green to it. Just using the tip of the brush and completely dry brush and creating the textures. As you can see, very light brush pressure. And you have to use completely dry brush. It is not wet. Not even I've pulled this brush in the water, it's completely dry and the colors are also row. I haven't used any water in them. Also. Like that, we have to use the brushes for creating such textures. And see it's more of like sea green type color. Let's do using it to the lower area. And as V goes up, the color changes. So it's more of a grayish, brownish texture. So we'll do that also. Little bit up on the edges. I'm trying to create Natalie bit in-between, not filling it in dilute, just be tough it so that it doesn't look like uneven sort of. So now let's use our different brush because just taking white and little bit of black to make it little grayish and little brown color. That is bond Dumbo. And just creating, just mixing the color. And let's start with the detailing. So there are some lines on the top where the mountain starts. There are some vertical lines and some horizontal lines which are created. So just very fine lines. And whenever you are creating these fine lines, make sure that your color is quite fluid form. Otherwise you will not be able to create such fine lines. And see there so fine lines. These are textures which I'm creating on these mountain. Some more vertical lines with black to give more texture to it. So you can see there are so many textures now using my round brush for creating little more textures, adding white and black and little bit of burnt umber. And just adding some more shows. Just using dry brush technique and just creating textures on these sites. We can see already this mountain is looking quite just adding little black on the lower part. And then we'll create the waterfall also. From the little bit, adding little bit of green texture to it. 30. Waterfall : Water Detailing: More detailing is left and then we'll start with the waterfall and the lower riverside or lakeside, you can say, just adding little more detail to it. So same lines I'll be drawing in these lower part also. See these effects are very necessary when you are creating some mountains and just outlining the lower line that just joining the water body. And attune more off white details here and there. So you can see now our mountain is almost ready and so we'll start with the waterfall part. So again, I'm using your Bristol brush and a little bit grayish, whitish color. You can see just was creating the fall where we need to create the waterfall. Just creating the shape. With my round brush to brush. This pressure is also completely dry without any water and just creating small, small textures. So first grayish and then overlap with the white texture, bit of texture. So now let's first do this below part. Then we'll do with the waterfall because water will, water will fall on that. So that also we have to create, so again, using black and sap green and the amount of white to it, letting water I'm adding to it because it's dry. So just covering this lower area with darkest green color with a mix of black and white. Just blogging this whole thing. Once we are done with this blocking, we'll then create this waterfall. Just adding one line to it. There's some outlines which are there. So just I'm drawing with my rigger brush with black color. Very small, small details. So you can see I'm drawing very small details. See if you are a beginner and want to learn this type of painting and you know how to use the brushes, you can paint it easily. So whenever we start painting anything, we should know how to use these pressures. How much pressure, how much quantity of color we need to use. So these are the important things which we need to take care when we are dealing with acrylic colors. Just taking white. And again, just take white color and creating the textures. I'm just filling up this area which I have drawn like a rough sketch. Just using my tip of the brush to create these textures. You can see the lower part is quite more white, so I'll be creating more white offered. And there are some waterfalls which are besides also so very light pressure and just creating vertical lines. And z, these are dry brush strokes actually. So again, taking very light pressure and creating dry brush vertical strokes to it. So now again, we need to create this lower body part. So again, taking this white color and just creating some dots on the top of the where the water is falling. Just dots Here in there. So now we need to create this lower part also. Just trying to add a little bit of details, little bit of dots to give a more vibrant look. Once you can see I'm not filling the entire area. I'm also keeping that back grayish portion also there. I'm not covering the entire thing. Again with some waterfall effect. Just lines and dots mix. And then the lower part also this is covered with water. This we'll be doing with the Bristol brush. So let's take around restored brush and same brush, dry brush and just creating dots. On the lower portion like a circular form or an oval shaped form. Circle, which is just forming. Just some effects, some effects on the mountain also. Again, taking flat bristle brush and creating some effects on these sides. Just dry brush and just taking very little amount of color and just covering this entire portion. And then again, taking my liner brush and creating some water effect, some lines that is forming the water ripples you can see. So this is almost done. And if you're trying this project to share your project work and also share tag me on my Instagram. That is more Heaney art gallery. I'd love to see your project works. So you can see just paid off details I'm adding to it. To give it a more realistic look. It's almost done. Just giving some more lake forgive effect over there because this water is falling and it create forks when it falls. So this is it. I hope you guys are enjoying this class. It's quite a detailed class. Smarter, normal one. So this is it. 31. River : Blocking: Hello all so let's start with our next element. So this is the image of the painting which we'll be doing. So let's first start with the drawing. Just using my pencil. I'm just drawing a rough sketch of the mountain and the reverse. So it will start from the upper than the middle part. And then first we'll create the riverfront, and then we'll do the upper part. So it's a very simple sketch which we need to do. And then we'll start with the blocking. So you can see the lines are also not too quiet straight, it is like so and then the mountains. So this is the rough sketch which we have drawn and then discuss about the colors. The colors are lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, burgundy, Windsor blue, black, white, and green. That is sap green. And these are the brushes which we'll be using. These are all same, similar brushes which we have used earlier also in all the paintings. So let's start with the painting was the blocking and then the detailing here for blocking, I'll be using my filbert brush. Since it is a small miniature paintings. So I'm using a small size filled with brush. I've just taken as rid of Windsor blue and white. Just makes it small amount so that it's clear to you how much you have to take blue and how much you have to take the other colors. A little bit of burgundy I've added to it. So just blocking the first layer. We can see the water is just on my brush. That's it. When you use extra water to it. And as we go down, the color changes. So the two colors can only blend when both the colors are wet. If both the colors are not read, you won't be able to blend the colors. So make sure that both the colors are wet. See, now the upper color has dried up, so I'm just mixing it a bit and a little wet so I'm able to mix that color. Similarly, as we are proceeding towards the mountain and the river, you need to check that the color which you are blending with has to be wet. Not completely wet, but yes, it should be wet so that you can blend the colors. You can see I'm taking very small amount of color and mixing it with the blue and just going upward and mixing it more. I'm just taking blue also because it has dried up. So again, mixing it with the lower color. So this is a technique which we use an acrylic for blending the colors. Taking cadmium yellow, little bit of burgundy, and white. So we're gonna d is nothing but little bit mix of Alizarin, dioxazine, purple. It's a mix of digoxin and alizarin color. So it's like burgundy in shape. It's like a pit of population also. Now down the lemon yellow. So you can see the Gallo virions on the Cloud sky side. Now the sky part is done. So let's do the mountains with this just, I'm just blending it with this blender brush, more of it so that it does nicely blend this yellow and the burgundy color. Just blending it properly. So now after blending, this will move towards the other part of the painting. So let's start with the mountains. So for the mountains, I'm just taking the same color that is Winsor blue and mixing white and a little bit of black color also. Just covering this whole mountain area. Also have added a little bit of burgundy to it to make it more like a purplish shade. And it's quite dark. So I've just added a little white so that the color is more visible and more muted. So adding more black and just applying, just blocking these mountains. The lower part is quite light, so I've just added white to it and I'm just applying to the wide portion to the lower part of the mountain and then I'll blend together. So I'm just adding the colors and then we'll blend it. You can see the lower part is light, so I'm just trying to blend a little color to it. Again, taking the darker color and then blending it, just giving little shape to it. So finally the top part is done. Just a little bit of blending is left. So after that, we'll move towards the real part. And the reflection of the sky is on the reversal that Chez that just shared we will be creating on the river also with same color. Using same color that does the cadmium yellow. We'll start with the lower color, which is yellowish, and then we'll go with the blue. So first time doing the lighter color, and then we'll start with the some cool colors. So first warm and cool colors. One thing we have to do, we have to block in the color and blended simultaneously. So make sure that you don't mix yellow and blue together. Otherwise, it will turn it into green. Since there is burgundy and metal, that's why it's not turning into green. So if you are adding these two colors together, there are chances that the two colors can turn into green. So make sure of that. That doesn't happen. I'm just blocking in the blue one. Once we are done with the blogging will do the blending all. So let's start with the blending for that lighter color because we don't want it to be green in color. So I'm just taking care of that. Just slowly blending the colors. 32. River : Mountain Detailing: So now let's start with this ground blocking. So for this we'll be using sap green and white first and then little bit of blue also. So sap green, less and white mode. And little bit of touch of blue so that it gives lines see green color. Just blocking in this whole area. And the land which is close to the revised little bit bluish in color. So you can see it's quite bluish, greenish texture and color. So just applying that and mixing both of them slowly we'll be doing on the other side also. First green and white color and little bit of blue mix, and then more of white. But the tent of blue and green mix. So you already have to blocking and is looking like stunning. Like I'm really liking the vibrancy of the colors on hope you guys are also. Finally, we are done with the blocking. Now we will do the detailing, but so for the detailing, we will be using our same filbert brush. First. Let's first do the Skype Bot, and then we'll move towards the lower, just creating some skies and some clouds forms and shapes like we did in our previous painting. And just adding little blue and white mix to create more shapes in the lower yellow portion. So now let's start with our mountains. For the so this is before doing that, I'm just adding little more white and lemon yellow to the lower portions because it's quite vibrant. So this is it for the sky part. Mixing that yellow color. But once we are done with, the sky will move towards the mountains. It's creating some light blue texture and adding to the lower part because it is quite light and color. Adding more blue to the upper part. And I'm just mixing board the colors. It's okay if these two alkalis looking in the separate form because we will need to create some detailing so it will get mixed up. Using my Bristol round brush. I'll be creating details with this Winsor blue, just with the tip of the brush and dry brush technique and adding little bit of black also when creating some textures. In see these textures look very nice when it comes to Cloud detailing, as we will be doing also in a waterfall painting as well. Finally, just adding little white to this color and again adding little white texture to the above area so that it looks like there are patches of four snows Around. I'll just giving shape to it. Did we create the lines which will look like the Far trees that is above the mountains. Just the lines. 33. River : Detailing: So let's start with our foreground detailing. So we have already done the blocking. So for the foreground will be using Bristow brush. So same color, white and blue mix and sap green. All the three color mix and we will be creating details. So I guess instead of using this brush, we can use fan brush for this. Let's try for us with this. So instead of using with this brush, we can use fan brush for creating some tree texture. Here I'm using Bristol fan brush of size two. And just creating textures with the tip of the brush. It's completely dry brush without any water. And I'm just creating that light color which we used. The background was much darker than the above one. And mix of light and dark colors to create the graph structure. So the edges are little lighter in color, so we're more wide needs to be added. So you can see I'm using completely dry brush over here and just using the tip of the brush and creating the textures. The same thing we will be doing on the other side of the foreground. Just creating for us to detect, show with green, blue, and white mix. So in the corners is bluish and more or less of green color. So just adding more white to it to create like stone texture technique. So on the, both the sides, I will be creating these textures with light bluish green texture. Here I'm using my Bristol round brush because it is difficult to do with that same brush. So I've also added a burgundy to it. You can see to the sides of the riverbed am using this round brush, bristle brush for creating these stone like textures. Can see to the other side of the riverbed. The stones are quite spread, so I'm just creating that texture with my round brush. So after doing this, we'll just create an outline of the river sites with our rigger brush using the black color. So using my rigger brush, I'm just creating the outlines of the sides of D4 ground. And now we will be doing the water detailing. So for the water detailing, we'll be using sale rigger brush first. And let's start first with the water detailing. But before that, let's create some more textures with these sides. The black color, just creating little bit of textures. Like looking like a shadow of the foreground. So just a little bit of textures. Now let's start with the detailing of the river using the same rigor brush and taking white, lemon yellow and cadmium yellow mix and just creating small lines. Sum all horizontal lines vary. So whenever you are creating these lines, make sure that the color is in liquid form. So the technique here is whatever is the background color of the water, you need to create a lighter version of the lines. And for merging body colors, you need to also overlap on the other side of the river, which is the darker portion. So once we are done with the warm colors will also do with the cool colors as well. After doing with this brush will also do the Guam brush, these detailing, but was let's do with today's blushed Oh, that there is two textures of brushes come up on the water, but let's do the cool colors, overlapping the warm colors as well. So like this, we need to create the contrast between both the colors, two sides a little bit dark. So just I've added more of black and bluish color to it. So we are almost done with this brush now we will be doing with accomplish the same detailing. 34. River : Final Detailing: Now, the final detailing. So let's again take this rigger brush and black color and just create trees, like palm trees for us, Let's create lines where we need to create trees. And then we'll be creating the pine trees shapes with black color. And then we will be letting it too wet. So these are random tree lines which I have created and just creating three shapes. First, small, small dots like triangle and shape. You can see the shape has to be in a triangular form like in triangle shapes deep from up and as we go down, it becomes broaden. And once we do with the black part, blocking part, we will be doing detailing with the different green colors to just enjoy this process of tree shaping. So whenever you are creating these three shapes, make sure that your color is in liquid form and it's not take, then only you will be creating, able to create these fine lines. Just trying to give you an idea of how to create the distant and nearby trees. But these tree reflection as well. Like for destined trees you can see these are small in shape and small and sizes. And for the nearby trees, you need to create the larger leap. So once this treaty dealing is done, I'm adding just green to it. And again, overlapping with the same color, green and a little bit of lemon yellow as well. To give more textures to the tree leaves. So I'm doing the other side. These are very small details which is required when we are doing some realistic painting. Just doing little more outline of this reverse sides and adding few more details to this stone rocks area. So again, see if you are using different types of brushes and different sizes of brushes is give all the brushes gives you a unique textures using different brushes and where to use and when to use those brushes is very important when you are dealing with these paintings. So now once this texture part is done, we'll do the water part also with our brush, just giving little bit of lines and details to the sides because sides and angles moot. So now using the brush of size two, I will be creating the details. I'll be using same colors, but with this brush. And you can see it gives a very nice texture when it comes to water detailing. Here, what I'm doing is I'm just taking the color. It's not take all, so it's not ten also. So I'm just taking the color and just moving the brush in the horizontal direction bit by bit to give it a nice texture to it. So this middle area is quite bright and quite warm. So I'm just adding this warmness in the middle and to the sides. It's more of a bluish in texture. You can see here we have used two types of brushes. One is the rigger brush and one is the brush to give it a perfect detail to these Riverside. Also adding little blues to this warm colors. So we are almost done with this painting and we're left with one more painting as well as one bonus painting. So I hope you guys enjoying painting these miniatures and do share your project to walks. I love to see that as FW de dealings and we are done with it. So finally, this river painting, landscape painting is ready. And here it is. 35. Trees : Blocking: So let's start with our next element. So here we'll be mainly focusing on the trees. So you can see this is the image. So let's first draw a rough sketch offered, and then we'll start with the painting. So first let's just, uh, we'll draw the ground and little bit of background details. That's it. And rest of the thing will be just doing the painting right away. What I'm doing is I'm just drawing the ground part. We can see the ground is little bit triangular in shape and the background trees which are falling. So this is the space where the background trees are falling. So just this and then we'll be painting. So let's start with our painting now. And the trees and all will be drawing directly via paint. Let's discuss about the pains. So permanent green, black, Winsor, blue and white. And the brushes which we'll be using are, these are the brushes, similar brushes. You can see in most of the paintings we have used these brushes only. So let's start with the blocking. So first we'll start with the sky pod. So it's like 70% wide and 30% of fluids there. So it's quite light blue color, which I'm trying to create over here. And see It's very light in color. So what we're doing is we're just blocking the entire thing. And then we'll be doing the details. So you can see how light the colors. Now once we are done with the blocking of this whole background. So now we'll start with the next blocking, but that is d. Just adding the two black and green to it and just covering this entire area with my brush. This is permanent green and black mix. I'm just covering this area. So you can see it's not a smooth finish. It's just like random brush movement. I like We don't want any smooth textures with splaying if it does like brush marks are there. So just outlining the lower part first with black. And then covering the entire UDL allele will be doing the other part as well. Now, let's start with the lower part. So just taking green and a little bit of plaque, very little amount and just covering this whole area. So does blocking is almost done. Now with our row, this Bristol brush, we'll be creating some textures with this green and black mix. On the lower part of the foreground. You can see also on the upper side. So on the both sides, like on the upper side as well as on the lower ground, will be creating this texture. So Ben and we'll recreate something like autumn. So this is a technique which you can use for creating any landscape painting. Just adding these textures. Sorry about the little bit lighting as the squad cloudy two days. So just adding textures, very light brush pressure you can see. So covering the lower part. Just using the tip of the brush and creating this texture. Now once we are done with this texture detailing, we'll start with our tree spot. 36. Trees : Creating Trees Structure: So now let's start with the tree detailing. So for this, I'll be using my rigger brush of psi is zero. So this brush I'll be using for creating the tree trunks and the tree stems. So just make that black color more fluid so that you can easily create the lines. Just starting with the first treeline. So just very slowly. And I'm just using my black color and creating the tree structure. If you're not comfortable creating directly with your color, then you can draw with your pencil or with any pen you want to draw it. Otherwise, if you're okay with creating with directly with the paintbrush, you can go ahead. So I feel comfortable directly creating with my brush. So I'm doing that. But yeah, you can create with your pencil first the outlines, and then you can fill in the colors. So that will be easy for you. Slowly, slowly we are moving towards the detailing. And this is a sort of autumn trees, like trees falling, leaves are falling. So this is kind of this type of painting. And it looks very complicated the painting, but it's not so complicated when you know how to start and what colors to use. So just follow my step-by-step process and you will be able to paint this entire autumn beauty. So what I'm doing is I'm just creating some tree structures. So enjoy this process of creating the tree structures. So whenever you are creating such a tree details, make sure that your color is in liquid form and it should be flowing the water like water. Why we use water to make the column flow. So for making the smooth lines and fine details, you need liquid color. So try to make the color in liquid form so that your brush and the color can flow through it. Just slowly creating the branches and branches and stems of the tree. So this is actually the main tree. So in this, I'm actually painting, we are mostly focusing on the tree, but this is our element, that is the tree, which completes the nature of beauty. So trees are actually the main part of our ecosystem. So actually everything is important. But trees that gives us oxygen, so it is the main element. So just take your time and create the tree lines slowly. This painting, I'm DJing in the last sections because it is quite complicated painting. And first I thought little easy painting, and then I've started grading some intermediate one so that you get to know the acrylic mediums better. And you can also practice the artwork daily. This is actually the main tree and rest are very small, small trees which we will be creating also. So you can see whenever I'm creating the branches in steps, I'm breaking those branches. These are not straight branches are not like one. Slow branches. These are having breaks. You can see these are having breaks in the branches. So this is how we create branches when it comes to the tree making. And always use rigger brush for this whenever you are creating tree. So now I have just added your d little bit amount of bond, amber. So just to give you a little highlight to the area. Starting at a little bit of highlight. Bond amber and white mix suggest creating some effects in these tree trunk Galea, just adding more of this one, Dumbo. And again creating the branches. I'm just creating the background branches with burnt umber little black and white mix. So these are all background trees. I'm trying to create. Just random lines. Some are big, some are small, some are different sizes. So adding some highlights with that brown color. 37. Trees : First Leaves Layer: So now I have added few more colors. That is, the Alizarin, cadmium yellow, and lemon yellow, also burnt sienna. I'm just mixing these two colors. That is alizarin and cadmium yellow and a little bit of white and a little bit of buoyancy and also to create those tree texture. So it's kind of orangey and pinkish shade. It's more of an orange shade. So that's, I'm trying to create this, adding more of white. Also just adding more of this cadmium yellow and burnt sienna. So you can see it's like a gas unit, sort of color. So yes. Again, I'm using here the liner brush and just starting to create the leaves. Just small, small dots I'm creating. So just small dots or these which I'm creating, as you can see, just random dots here and there. Norden, one size. Fill in this entire portion. This texture effect. Just slowly take, It's going to take college, not like liquid colors. So I've just added water on my brush. And these colors are quite raw colors which I'm using without much of water in it, as you can see. And I'm just taking the color and I'm creating small dots here and there to create a bunch of leaves, sort of structure. I'm also overlapping the branches. The above areas quite full, full of leaves. And the lower part is just the leaves are falling down. Filling this entire area. Slowly, slowly, these this whole area I'll be filling up. It should look like a bunch of leaves which are together on one stem. So that's what I'm trying to create a field. This is just one layer of color. We will be doing two or three layers of this. Then only we will come to the exact result. So this is the just the first layer which we are doing. So once we are done with the color wheel again, do the layering with the other colors, other texture color, shade of color so that it looks more realistic. 38. Trees : Final Leaves Texture: Now let's start with the further layering. So first layering of the leaves we have done so, we'll start with another layer. So here I'm using cadmium yellow and just trying to create more leaves in-between. Just adding little bit of white also do it so that it becomes little light color. Just adding the details in between. Yellow also do it. Just filling in the area because it's quite a no spaces in between these leaves. It's very dense you can see. So that's what I'm trying to create a whale. Just adding the dots here and there in different directions. So you can see I'm just filling up these areas which are left in between with another shade of orange, squat, orangey and shade. Similarly, I'll be doing for the rest of the area as well. The more you create the layerings in the leaves, the more it looks like, realistic and more dense. You can see how I'm using my fan brush to create some textures. So this is also of size zero fan brush I'm using, and I'm just taking same color and creating some textures at the bottom part so that it looks like the leaves which are far from this main tree. So just adding the color on the tip and creating these textures. So I've just covered the below area with these textures. The fan brush. Now adding little bit more of yellow and alizarin and again creating more textures at the bottom. See how dense it is looking after doing this with the fan brush. Just creating some more textures in between here to give more variety of texture to the leaves. Now again, using my rigger brush and adding alizarin and white and burnt sienna. And a little bit of yellow. Again, creating the textures. So you can see I'm taking very thick color. It's not like liquid form of color. So it's completely take color which I'm using and I'm creating those textures. So it takes time because you have to keep track of patients when you're creating such detailing of the trees. So in this case, what we're doing is we're starting with the darker color and then slightly lighter and slightly lighter like that will be layering these leaves. So now you can see the leaf structures and the three sheets are coming up. So now digging more of lemon yellow because we want the light color and cadmium mix, cadmium yellow mix and again creating texture on the top of it and little bit wider. So I'm adding to it because I want a lepton lighter shade over how we started. We started with darker color than light, and then more light color to give the varieties of leaf color do it. We don't have to fill this entire area with this lighter color. We need to fill little bit of area here and they're leaving the background color also visible in some parts. So that all the three colors of visible. Just adding you can see the texture. Similarly, I'll be covering this entire leaf area with this texture. You can see I'm not covering the entire portion. I'm using only few of them. Mostly the upper area I'm covering the lower part, I'm leaving as dark. So mostly the upper part of the bunch of leaves. I'm covering the D lighter color. Just using my rigger brush and creating small, small textures. It's a quite lengthy process. You can see it takes time, but the end result you will see when you will complete this entire painting. Use it will be very beautiful because it takes time, but the end result is amazing. And currently, you can see how we are moving and the amount of details and textures which we are putting in. And requires a lot of patients actually. So I mostly do like these realistic painting. So there's also my website is there. If you want to learn more realistic painting, that is MS creative arts, you can check that also. That I have uploaded almost three to four classes, which are quite in detail. If you want to learn some realistic paintings. So we're almost done with this three part. Just small little bit here and there layering is required. So now again, we will create textures with the span bridge. Fan brush creates actually a very nice textures just here and there. Like we did for the other color we are doing with this color. And just green also little bit. This brush create amazing textures. When it comes to realistic painting. 39. Trees : Final Detailing: So now let's start with our last part of the painting that is the ground part. But before doing that will create some branches because these branches of weighted. And so we'll create some more branches and the trees which are hidden with this texture. Just adding a little bit more branches. You can see the trees which we create at the background parts. So this is a hidden with these textures. So I'm just overdoing those lines. You can see. So just using bond amber and black mix for creating the lines and details. So again, whenever you are creating such lines, make sure your color is a bit of fluid form. Because then only you will be able to create these lines just outlining some of the branches urine there. So it looks more bulky and heavy tree because the main tree is the tree which is having these many branches. So just taking little bit of white because my wife has finished off, suggest taking a little bit of white. There are so many colors why it is not visible. So just adding little white to this lemon yellow color and creating some more leaf effect on the tree part. Here I'm just using lemon, yellow and white and creating the textures randomly urine there. So you can see there are four layers which we did almost for creating those leaves. Now adding, creating the same color, that darker color. You can see a little bit wide also. Again, creating some more textures, darker texture in between. Because these spaces are quite blank. I'm just filling it up and creating little more here and there. So now let's do the lower part. For this lower part, we'll be using fan brush. So just same color and I'm just creating some textures below. But my fan brush to look like that leaves have been fallen off. And just adding little bit of green this color and creating more textures at the bottom. So now we will again take the same brush and taking green into that mix to create some nice greenish, orangeish shape, texture and white added to it. And creating the same texture all around. Just digging more of green and white mix to create more light textures. So here also layering technique works. So the more you learn, the more realistic it looks. Now just adding a bit of brown and white, solid brown and black. And just creating a shadow sort of texture. Triangle in shape. The shadow of the trees. And then taking my liner brush and mixing the same color which we use for the leaves. The same color. And we will be creating small, small dots and leave texture on the lower but just small, small textures on the lower part of the ground. And as we go down, it decreases. Similar shades we have to create like the one which we created on the above leaf bud, and also in that shadow area also. You can also create these textures with your comb brush because with that also, it will be very nice. Filling this entire ground area. The similar colors of the same as that of the leaves. Using my bristle brush and creating some more textures. On top of it. You can see how small it doesn't. It's very difficult to paint wet on a small painting. But with dad only will learn and practice. Just adding the textures. We are almost done with this painting and just very few details are left leg wide also have added few white details also. And finally, we are almost done with this painting. And this is the second last painting which we'll be doing. And the last painting is also left and also one bonus class. So stay tuned for that as well. 40. Snow : Blocking: Let's start with our bonus class. And this is the round MDF board, which I've already primed. And I've applied burnt sienna acrylic ink on it. So let's first start with the drawing, and then we'll start with the painting. Here. I'm just using my pencil to draw the outline. Then the last thing which was left as normal, so I taught to teach snowball. So let's first draw the rough sketching. So just using the line which is below the center and just trying to draw the foreground area first. And then small mountains which is above. So after drawing this, we'll start with the blocking. Let's discuss about the colors. So these are the colors which we will be using. So surrealism, blue, black, and while it, and Burgundy, yellow and white. So these are the colors which we'll be using year. And these are the brushes, these all same brushes which we have used earlier in all our paintings. So similar brushes which we'll be using. So let's start first with the blocking. So for the blocking, first, the color which we'll be using here is the violet. And then a little bit white mix. If you don't have violet color, you can use dioxazine purple also for this and add a little bit blue to it. So some little bit cerulean blue I've added to it. And I'm just trying to block in forced the background. So there are two or three colors and these guys, so we'll be painting that and blocking it. What is the first color than the second color is little bit yellowish, which is mostly close to the mountains. Yellowish, white mix. And then in-between is D, burgundy color. Just adding that color also. And just mixing board the colors. So we will be doing one more layer of it. The background. Just applying a little bit more of yellow and just washing off my brush and removing excess of water and ingest trying to blend this color. Blending will only take place if both the colors are wet. Otherwise you'll, you'll not be able to blend the two colors. So after doing this background, we'll now do the mountains that is the middle ground. So again, taking violet, blue, cerulean, blue, white, mix it a bit more of blue. And just covering this mountain part. Similarly, we'll do the rest of it, rest a little bit more. Dark in color. Upper one is a little light, but the side one is more dogs all have different bluish contrast color. The side one, just digging more of blue and violet and just knocking this toward mountain. So now we will do the foreground. For the foreground again, while it, and more of white. It's very little amount of violet and more of white. It's just blocking this whole foreground. Once the blocking is done, we will be doing the detailing part. 41. Snow : Mountain Detailing: So now let's start with the detailing. So first with the background. So I'm just using my dry brush and taking white and little bit of yellow and creating very light pressure to the brush and creating the clouds. You don't have to put too much pressure on your brush. And just with the tip of the brush, I'm just creating some cloud formations on the top. So now let's do the mountain part. So for the mountains, Let's first block in, in these second time, the colors. Just blocking in the mountains. Taking more of a violet and blue color, white light colors, I'm just adding another code to it. Similarly, the other mountains as well. So once we are done with the quoting, the second blocking, we will do the detailing of the mountain. So for the detailing, your, we will be using our brush for creating small lines which will look like trees. Suggest. Just using my brush from rosemary that is of size two. Dipping it in water and just taking the black and blue combination color more of black and less of blue, and just creating lines on the edge of the mountain. These are all vertical lines which I am creating and very close by. Similar mannose will create more lines and parallel to the top lines, which will resemble distinct trees on the mountains. You can also do with your liner brush if you don't have this compression. But you need to do it one-by-one with calm brush. You can do it in bundles. So once we are done with this, parallel lines, will then use our liner brush to create more lines, more bigger and smaller lines, just giving it a more realistic look. Similarly for the other mountains as well. I've shown you, bought with the brush and the liner brush how you can create these lines. And now using our Bristow flat brush, just taking black and wireless mics. Completely dry brush and creating textures as we did in our earlier mountain painting. Just tip of the brush and creating textures. Similarly on the other mountain, you need to take very little amount of color. And just with the tip of the brush, you need to create small dots and textures. Just adding little more textures to the base. Now once this is done, so now again, we will take our liner brush and black color and a little bit blue texture and just add a little bit more details to the third mountain. Just trying to create little more trees which are quite visible. And then we will be doing the foreground and the trees. Also with my liner brush, I'm adding some details to this behind Mountain which is loaded with snow. Many small, small Johnson textures. I'm creating a darker color also. 42. Snow : Final Detailing: So now let's start with a foreground. So for foreground, I'm using the same brush, that is default wet brush. And just first real blocking, the second code. And then we'll start doing the details. So once the blocking is done, we'll create textures using the same brush, taking violet color and creating small textures like small diagonal lines are there. So I'm creating but the Guam brush, just like a bad way the lines I'm trying to create. Now once this is done, we will now use our liner brush for creating the trees. So first we'll create the lines where the trees needs to be there. So they are different shapes and sizes of three. Some are near to D, That pathways, some money into the mountains. So someone distinct. So the Muslim or very small trees, so different sizes of trees, we'll be creating ovale, just creating lines first. Now let's small trees also, which are very close to the mountain. Now creating the leaves. Just moving the brush in the diagonal directions and just creating like feathery shapes in triangle and shapes should be in triangle in as we go down like smaller and sizes. And as we go down, the leaves should be in bigger size. So similarly, we need to do the entire these three lines. You can also create these lines with a brush or fan brush, but this painting is very small. That's why I'm using here the liner brush. But if you have a big painting, if you want to draw big paintings, then you can use your brush and fan brush also for creating such lines and details. We are, I'm just using my black color and creating these shapes. And once we are done with creating the entire tree line, will then create the snow on the trees. Just enjoy the process of creating. You can see there are different sizes of trees. Some are small, some damping. So like ways we need to create the entire tree line. Once we're done with this tree line, we'll be creating snow. Does giving a proper shape triangle shape to it. So now we will create snow by using white and little bit of violet color of white and just a touch off violet. And same way using my liner brush, I'm just creating these lines, slanting lines. You can see. You can see I'm just creating some lines, dots and textures on the trees so that it looks like the snow is falling on the tree. So this is one of the easiest technique of creating snow on the pine trees. Have also one more lesson in this, where I've created just the pine tree in the holiday cards, they call it the holiday card class section. So you can see that also. So just we need to do for the entire tree line, this texture. And once we are done with this store snore detailing, we will do again the foregrounds little bit. Does no part. Street Partners Almost done Just two more left and we are done with the three lines. So we are done with the tree part. So now let's create some more details in this foreground section using white color. Just using dry brush and taking that white and creating some textures. Just filling a little bit of area with this light violet color. Again, using my filbert brush and white and a little bit of white and yellow mix. And just again, just outlining that area, that sky area, which we have created, that Cloud area, just making it a little bit more light and color. And we almost done with this painting. So I hope you guys enjoyed these paintings. And we learned almost ten paintings. The different, different types of paintings with different elements, clouds, sun, stars, everything. And if you are trying this project, then do share your project work. And also you can tag me on my Instagram. That is more lenient gallery. I would love to see that. And thank you for all your support and love and happy learning.
