Transcripts

1. Introduction: Looking up at the sky full of stars, since bars are in, leads us to ask what else might live beyond the world? As we dredging of the vastness of the star filled sky. We get to feel the connection to nature. We get to learn that we are small in a good way, part of a larger infinity. This view might not be available to ask all the time and certainly not well your endurance, but Celestial. Or it can remind us of just how beautiful the night sky with the night sky is one way for us to discover how to appreciate the wonder of this guy. And it is one of the most rewarding artistic and the voice. Hi everyone. I'm Christina, self-taught artist, and in this class, I will demonstrate a step-by-step process to eat the night Skyping, list of supplies that you'll need and pick some tips to make your painting is here. Alright, in any form whether a while to eating are observing reduces the stress hormone called cortisol. It also releases the feel-good hormones called endorphins, which help you combat stress and be letting a joy, a sense of fulfillment. It transforms you into a more positive, well-rounded human. So enjoy this class and had been doing. 2. Materials: In this class we need acrylic paper or canvas. Acrylic paint with watercolor. But I prefer acrylic for this project as it dries quickly and has brighter pm spend compared to watercolors. Water painting, brush set, painting, *******, masking tape, toothbrush or splatter brush. 3. How to Paint Blended Night Skies: Blending acrylic paint is the process of having two colors mesh together to blend into each other, creating a new color. It is a technique to create stunning results that we can be using paint the night sky. We will use wet and wet technique as this is the quickest way to blend. And basically means we will be blending the colors together while they're still wet. I'm going to show you now a simple way to do a night sky background. You can use any flat wash with a round brush. In this demonstration and use the colors gray, Prussian blue, and white. Take note that we'll have to work quickly as acrylic is not reasonable when dry. Squeeze and an even amount of three colors you've chosen in the Canvas. Wet your brush and start applying white tubes of paint from side-to-side. You can go from top to bottom. You the first color in dip the brush into the second color without crossing to brush off. And can you get me to the bottom? Tried to go with straight lines from one side to another and evenly pressing on the brush, but not too much pressure. You may add extra layers achieved nice intensity of the color equation, or indeed with more transparent. Now let's try with different colors. Let's use violence. Most read and chill, peak. Wet your brush and then from top to bottom. Blending to get a smooth, soft edges. 4. How To Paint Moon: The brightest and the largest object in the night sky paintings the moon. In this lesson, I will teach you the step-by-step process of painting a moon. And we will use the sponging technique to give it an interesting texture and perfect appearance. Let's first create the circle stencil that will serve as an outline form one, using around lead, draw three common of paper then cut out the center. Using masking tape, connect the circle. Then cut the excess paper. You state being white for the moon and Prussian blue and violet for a little bit of texture. First, grab the sponge, damper dry, we'll do. Then please your moon stencil on the middle. Put the paint on your palette and using your sponge, dop the moon stem cell until the entire moon is covered. We will beat of brushing need to have a little texture. Once the center is covered and looks nice and textured, you can gently peel off the paper stencil to reveal a nice mountain sheep. You can do this while paint is still wet or wait until it dries. Here's another illustration. We'll still be using the team in white for the moon and violet for a little bit. Texture. 5. How to Paint Stars: In this lesson, I'm going to teach you a fast and easy way to paint stars. We'll be using splattering painting. This is a technique that uses brushes to flick through or drip paint embedded canvas, rather than brushing paint directly onto that surface. It is also known as cheap painting or action painting. So be ready because things are about to get a little bit messy. Preparing your materials, we need water, brushes, palette toothbrush, and titanium white bean. First, dilute your acrylic paint with the level of water in the mix black. Easier. We have two options to splatter. First, we will use to brush filled up results of toothbrush with the new data can be, hold the brush at a downward angle. So the bristles are pointed towards the ground. And run your fingers along the edge of the brush. Go slowly and pull the pieces back to the bunch beam onto the canvas. Second option, we can use two brushes, splatter. Feel the resource of a paintbrush means diluted paint and jumpy. Top it with a second paint. You can also see sticks or even your fingers. This will give the paint enough force to travel across regardless. 6. How to Paint Mountains: Claiming melody might be hard, but learning how to paint it is easy-peasy. For this lesson, we'll show you how to pick mountain on the nighttime mountains and that street angular triangles like most of us withdraw one. Instead, they are wobbly lines that form speaks and as different shapes to. First put a medium gray in your palette. You can use any size of brush dented the mountain shapes with that gray by stroking upwards and downwards and just try to avoid heights and widths of this mountain peaks. Fill in the entire area of the mountains with this medium gray and then add some white brushing and the side of the mountains to have next. Sure. 7. How to Paint Pine Trees: Please give structure to a pinky. In this lesson, I will show you how to paint pine trees that easy to follow. Using a very tiny round brush. Beeping vertical lines represent the trunk of the tree. I suggest watering down the page just to be to help the flu start at the top of that vertical line and stop. Just like be to create a thin set of branches. As you work your way down. Keeps dumping the brush left and right in a zigzag motion. Work your way down to Chile in sections, making each series of branches a little longer than the ones above, leave some space between sections of pine trees look more realistic if they're not the branches all the way down. You can also simply dotted and daub Leto march downwards. And as you keep zigzagging the way down, make your key for him a wider sheet on the button and try varying the heights of the feast for a more natural look. And that's it. Just keep practicing and you will be an expert at it in the syllabus. 8. Night Sky Painting 1 : Moon and Stars: Now it's time to apply what we have learned in the previous lessons. For this project. We will be the Morningstar's in acrylics. For our sky background, squeeze an even amount of black, Prussian blue, and white on your canvas. What's your brush and start applying white socks off paint from side-to-side. You may need extra layers to achieve nice intensity of the color green. Now, let's do this plug-in for stores. First, delete the white acrylic paint with water to make splattering is here. Feel the bristles of a toothbrush with the muted acrylic. Hold the brush at a downward angle so the bristles are pointed towards the ground and run your fingers along the edge of the brush. Go slowly and pull the bristles back to the launch beam onto the canvas. Once dry gets removed, stencil, bunch and titanium white acrylic. And let's start painting the morning. Darby white acrylic paint and killed entire moon is covered. Once the centers cover it and looks nice and textured, you can gently peel off the paper stencil to reveal a nice motion. And we're done. 9. Night Sky Painting 2 : Pine Trees Under Starry Night Sky: For this project, we will paint pine trees Under starry night sky. Using gray, Prussian blue, and white acrylic, apply straight lines from one side to another. Dip the brush into the second column without glycine your brush off until we fill the whole canvas with take some time to blend the columns together. Continued to blend until you're satisfied with your sky. Now, let's add the stars. First, the mute your white paint with a little water and fuel the results of your toothbrush with that thing you did. Picking finger and rub the bristles above the canvas into page each week of the brush. Using gray acrylic paint, the base of your trees. Using a very tiny round brush, beat the vertical lines, represent the trunk of the tree. And recommend watering down the black UCB to help with the flow. God little marks and keeps dumping the brush left and right in a zigzag motion. And as you work your way down, make your T form a Whiting sheep on the bottom. Be different height of trees for a more natural look. Feed this many trees as you want and don't bother trying to beat them in a straight line. It's really an osmosis army seems most GI transit nature or incomplete. Okay. 10. Night Sky Painting 3 : Full Moon Rising Over Mountain: For the last project, we will paint full moon rising over a mountain. Let's paint the night sky using black, violet, most read, and shell pink. Then blend the colors together while you still wet. From the top, dip the brush into the next color. We don't crazy until you reach the bottom. The stars using this splattering technique, load up your brush with white beef in using your thumb. Rob the B-cell to create tons of little speckles in your painting that will serve as stars. Once dry, getting more stance, heel, spine, chin, think anymore with acrylic and next part, bead wider. And Gilgamesh. Dab a little amount of violet for texture. Once you are satisfied with the color of your moon, you can gently peel off the paper stencil to reveal a nice mountain sheep. Now we'll get ready to paint your mountains. The mountains shapes with black acrylic based talking downwards and just tried to worry the heights and beads of the mountain peaks in the entire area of the mountains with the black. 11. Night Sky Painting: Final Output: Your night Skype meeting may not turn out like you thought it would be, but somehow, just by contemplating it, you feel lifted bytes it. Because the biggest benefit of this project is that it makes us go down and separate the results from the stresses and strains of everyday life. So I hope through this class you feel the charge and refresh.
