Journey 

My grandfather encouraged us to paint Goddess Laxmi on the wall during Diwali; this is my oldest memory of my creative self. I never dreamt of being an artist, but as a kid, I was always inclined toward painting and even participated in various school-level competitions. I'm from Patna, India, and almost every child goes for engineering or medical. I was no different. I completed my engineering in Information technology in Indore and moved to Pune to work as a software engineer. I worked in top IT companies for a decade, and suddenly, the forgotten love for art came back, searching for me. I started my journey as an artist in early 2019 and eventually became a full-time artist in 2022.

Transcripts

1. Intro: Everywhere I look around, all I see are fields of lavender. Purple stretches. As far as the eye can see. Life is better when you are in lavender fields with your friends. One of my dream and vicious to walk into the lavender fields surrounding the village with my loved ones and enjoy its beauty. So thinking of its beauty and vibrant color, thought off painting the stream on my little canvas. Hello friends. My name is moodiness. And now, and I'm an acrylic artist and hope you all are doing well. I mostly paint nature related beauty, like seascape, landscape. So thought of sharing this knowledge with you guys. I hope you will love it. So in this class we'll be learning how to block in the background and foreground, step-by-step, creating trees and tree textures. And how to create the grass texture in detail. As well as the lavender flowers in detail with layering technique. So I hope you guys will enjoy this class. So let's start with that. 2. Materials Required: Let's discuss about the colors. So the first color is the charcoal, black bond, Dumbo, surrealism, blue, alizarin, crimson, dioxazine, purple, tallow green, permanent green to Daniel White and lemon yellow. So these are the colors which we will be using. For the background. You can see there are surrealism, blue and white mix. And for the lower permanent green and lemon yellow. For the background, we will be creating some shades that are the base two shades which we'll be creating here for creating such lavender texture. So I hope the coloring part is clear and what all colors we'll be needing you. So let's start with the shades. So here I'm using white. Little bit of alizarin crimson and dioxazine purple mix. Little more white to create that purpley look of purplish, pinkish look off the lavender flower. This is one color of the lavender flower which we'll be using. So let me show you the shade, how it is. It's almost purplish, but it's quite baby being gold. So you can say, it's a mixture of both. You can say, the next color which we'll be using here is taking more of white and little lighter version of it. So these other two shades, which we will be using for creating the lavender flowers of one kind. And there are other colors also which we will be using. Apart from these two, I'm just adding more of white so as to distinguish between the two because the other colors little lighter. So the third color is, I'm just adding surrealism blue to it to make it more bluish in texture. So it's more bluish. Little bit of purple. This is the color which I will be your third color, which I will be using for the 11 different level and the lighter shade of it. So this is the third one. And after adding, so after adding white to it, we'll be using the lighter shade also. So these are the four shades. You can say paste style sheets, which we will be using for this lavender flower painting. So I hope this color combination and shades are clear with you guys. And for the grasses will be using this tallow green and yellow mix for the darker version. And by adding, this is the darker trees grass texture. And for the lighter one, I'll be just adding white to red and just little bit of white I'll be adding. And this is D, sixth color which we will be using. So these are the colors which we will be using for the foreground that the lavender garden. So as you can see, the painting, this is the painting which we will be doing. So let's discuss about the materials. So the first one is the primed canvas than the water container, tissue paper 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. Blocking: Hello friends, welcome back. So now let's start with a painting. So this is the primed canvas, which I'm using here. And it's sizes almost five is 27. You can use any size of Canvas or watercolor paper, whatever base you want. You can also use MDF also. So let's first see the image. This is the image and I've also attached over the, in the right corner so that for further reference. So first we will be creating one single line with our masking tape. So I'm not using any pencil, I'm just using my masking tape to draw a line. And this line is not in the center. It's somewhat like a little bit upward. Like the upward portion is little smaller than the downward one. So I'm just putting the masking tape for the line to divide the foreground and the background. I've just put the masking tape in, not in the center, but as I said that the proportion is less than smaller and the level down one is more broader. The other colors, which we will be using, black, surrealism, Blue, Titanium white, permanent green, and lemon yellow. So for the base color, we will be using these colors and a flat brush. So whatever size you take, It depends upon the size of the canvas. So first we will be doing the upward and then downward part. So the flat brush depends upon the size of the canvas which you are using. Jam just taking surrealism, blue and white mix. So it's more of white and less of blue. It's more of weight. Does almost white, just a bluish touch to it. So just covering the upper part first. So as I was saying that the flat brush size depends upon the size of the canvas. And if you're using big Canvas, you need to use bigger size of flat brush. Since I'm using the smallest size canvas, I have used your size for the flat brush. I'm just adding the upper part and then just washing off my brush and just taking more of color. So as we go down a two modes, like a yellowish shade. So I'm just trying to create that also. I've just washed my brush and then I'll just take white, more than just a tinge of yellow and very little amount of yellow. It's almost white, just a bit of yellow to it. And I'm just applying in the second part. And after that, I'll try to mix it. Plus I'm just applying that color. Just applying more of it. I'm not going towards down because it's downward, it is green, so I'll apply green over there. So with my blender brush, I'll just take little white and I'll try to blend both the colors. As you can see, I'm just taking a little bite and I'm trying to blend both the colors so that there's no line in between. So this is how we blend two colors. So now, after blending this color, we'll start with the lower area, which is joining the foreground and the background. So as you can see in the reference image, the downward part is bit green. So here I'm using this filbert brush of size two. And I'm just taking little bit of lemon, yellow and green and more of green. I'm just trying to create some random patterns. I'm just trying to copy the image where there is green spot and I'm just trying to create that struck that shape. So just dabbing my brush, taking more of green and yellow mix, and just tapping my brush tip and creating those textures. You can see how nicely those textures are being created with the filbert brush. And this is very nice for creating some texture, some tree textures. This filbert brush, it gives a very nice round, half round shape structure. Just trying to create the effects somewhere there's dark green, some weather or more of the yellow and green. Just different. I'm trying to create different colors so that it's not same everywhere. So whenever you use all these types of brushes, use synthetic brush or blistered rush. And please do not use any watercolor brushes are the while you'll spoil your brush completely because these acrylic colors are like plastics and a width, and it will, the colors won't get removed from the brush. So take care of that first. So whenever you use these brushes, immediately wash off your brush with water. Don't leave it as a desert. The ways you are, the chances that brush will get damaged. So now we'll start with the lower part. That is the foreground. For the foreground, I'm just using the two colors. And the same flat brush I'm using just black and white mix. And I'm just applying over the entire area. I'm just covering the entire area. It's not as smooth blend, but it's random. Just moving my brush in the water go motion. I'm just blocking the entire area downwards. So just enjoy the process. So this is just the blocking part which we have done still the detailing and the tree structure, everything is left. This is just the blocking part, which we have completed by using the flat brush. So the foreground is almost complete. As you can see. It's almost done. I've covered the entire area. So just here and there. You can see how it's not smooth blend or anything and just dabbing my brush in the vertical direction. So once this is done, we'll start with our next part. 4. Creating Trees Structure: Hello friends, welcome back. So now let's first start with the culverts. We're using same colors. Here. I'm just removing the masking tape in between. And I'll just fill in the sweat, same green color. So first let's do this and then we'll be creating the tree structures. So just taking a little bit of green and yellow and then just blocking the lower portion which is left to white. I'm just covering it. Suggest adding more of green and yellow and a little bit of white. So just trying to give little textures. It's the same technique which I was using earlier. Just covering the lower portion also. Now just adding little white, little black and green, and again giving textures. So I'm just using the tip of the brushes and trying to give texture to it. Just tapping my finger, that is my edge of the brush. And I'm just creating these shapes here and there. Now once this is done, now we will be creating trees. It's not like we'll be creating exact trees. What there is, what is there in the image. So here I'm using my rigger brush and we'll be creating trees, but not exact. It will be somewhat similar but not exact. So let's start just make this black color a little fluid and then start creating the lines. So first we'll create that thick line which is on the left-hand side. So just Just figuring out from where to start. So just creating those take lines. And that'll be just blocking it with black color. So these are just the three lines which will be creating in this. I'm just trying to blocking it. You can block in with your flat brush also. But I'm doing that this pressure only suggest blogging in that area which I have created those lines. See whenever you are creating any lines you have, make sure that your color is fluid and it's not taken off. Otherwise you'll not be able to create those fine lines. So make sure that your color is in liquid form. So just trying to create the lines. There are so many lines you can see in this painting. So we have to create those, those many, but at least it blocks those many lines. I'm just trying to create those lines. So it's a bit time-consuming, but the result will be amazing. You'll see it is time-consuming task. You have to create so many lines. So just have patients have cup of coffee or tea and then start creating the lines. Because to create some massive magic, you need patients. So just take your time and create slowly the lines and make sure that your color is in little fluid form. There's some thick lines, also some thin lines. So accordingly, we will be creating. So you don't have to be in a hurry. You just take your time and you can see that the base of the line is not in one. On this same base somewhere, somewhere. Some of them are little downwards, some of them are little upward. So that way you have to create the depth of the lines. So all the depth of the lines are not same. So that you have to take care because that will help in creating shadows. You can see first creating those take lines that dose take trees which are quite visible. And then we'll be creating those fine lines. So I'm just trying to create first dose, take, take trees which are really visible. You can use your flat blush also. But I feel comfortable with my rigger brush. So I'm using my regular brush for creating such lines. So this is time-consuming task, but the output you will get after finishing this painting will be really amazing. You will be proud of yourself that you have painted this. Just relax and keep on painting. Take breaks in between if you are getting tired, and then start over again. So you can see the depth of this tree is quite below, so you have to create it like that VIP so that the shadows will be also like that. So depending upon the shadow we are creating the trees. So after that, we will be creating the shadow lines. So just enjoy the process of creating the lines. So you can see I'm also creating little branches also in-between. So you can also do that. So you can see I'm not creating the exact trees but similar to it. So not the exact lines I'm creating, but I'm trying to create as much as I can. It's not compulsory to create exact lines where I'm creating. So you can create your lines on your own because it needs a little, because there are so many lines in between. So just trying to create a rough sketch of it. Now I'm creating those small and thin lines, just filling the gap. And now we'll be creating some textures also. So this is almost done. We'll be starting with our next part. So I hope you guys are enjoying this painting and take your time. Relax, sit back and just enjoy the process of painting. And you'll definitely going to love this. 5. Creating Tree Texture: Hello friends, welcome back. So here the color which I'm using is, is tallow green and all other are the same fellows. So let's use this round Bristol brush for creating some textures, some grasses. So first I'll be using permanent green as the back shadow of the tree. That is the lighter color. I'm just using the tip of the brush and mixing little bit of lemon yellow. And just using the tip of the brush and creating the texture. So as you can see, I'm not completely blocking the entire area, which is I'm leaving some areas in between that is white and blocking the permanent green. Just using the tip of the brush and creating the textures. So they actually do three layers of green, which we'll be using this, the first layer that is the light green, you can say that is permanent green, which I'm using here. So from the image you can see that the background that is the shadow, a bit light and above the trees textures a bit dark. So I'm also trying to create that effect. Now on the above portion, I'll be using this tallow green, which is a bit dark, darker color. So it's kind of greenish texture with the tint of blue in it. So it's the tallow green which comes out and adding little black also Baker is quite dark. So just a little bit black and tallow green mixture. And I'm just repeating the same technique which I've used for this permanent green in the background layer. I'm just blocking in the upper area. This is the simplest technique of creating three textures or tree leaves. The very simple technique of creating the tree textures. And whenever you are creating these textures, always use Bristol brush and hard bristle brush. And this, and this I'm using round brush. You can also use flat brush also, or filbert brush for creating those textures. So but use toothbrush for creating these textures. So here you can see I'm applying the second color. First color is the permanent green, and the second color is the tallow green. And I'm just applying that might tip of the brush. I'm just creating small textures as you can see. And I'm also over layering that permanent green color so that it gives a nice contrast to the tree texture. You can see I've left in-between a little area which is white. So I'm just adding little black also toward and again applying, again, doing the layering technique, which is called just applying on the top of the tallow green to give much darker effect and much more texture to it. So this is the most effective and easiest technique of creating three textures or any leads, bushes. And whenever you are using creating these textures, use Bristol brush. Now I'm adding little white in-between just to create more whiteness to it. And I'm just overlapping on some of the branches. Like it should look like that. They are in shade or something. Because you can see all are not completely black, some are hidden in the light. I'm trying to create that. Look. Now. I'm taking a little bit off all the three colors and just applying in the middle of that white portion. Very light texture, not completely filled up. Very light greenish texture like light green texture. You can see I'm just trying to create. So you can see I'm just trying to create a similar effect, which is shown in the image on the right-hand side. So just trying to replicate it to create some realistic look. So whenever you are trying to create some thing which is realistic and the colors are similar. It takes time and you need to have patients for doing this. Then only you will be able to create the same effect as it does in the image. So this is almost done like just few detailing his left the upper part. I'm just using my liner brush and just highlighting the areas which are not completely black, not too visible, and which are not completely drawn out nicely. So I'm just trying to create those. I'm just trying to darken those lines. Can see some lines are not clear, so I'm just trying to give proper lines to it. So this is almost complete. Now, we will start with the next. 6. Rough Sketch of the foreground: Hello friends. Welcome back. So now I'm using the other gel pen and scale to draw these lines. As you can see below, these lines are drawn. So I'll be drawing with my gel pen, that is white gel pen. Let's start. So the ones which are, which, the trees which are more visible, be drawing lines from their first, we'll start from the left-hand side. So let's start from the left-hand side. The trees which are joining the foreground. I'm just trying to create that shadow. Lines, so forth. We'll be drawing and then we'll start blocking in. So I'm using white gel pen so that it is visible to use to you. You can use any other pen or pencil, whatever you want to draw those lines. It's not compulsory that you have to use this white gel pen only. You can use any sort of pencil or pen or anything to draw those lines. So I'm not creating the exact lines are exact image, but somehow the a little bit exact portions, It's not exact but similar to that. So I'm just trying to create those. So likewise, we need to create those lines. So you can also use masking tape instead of creating lines and place that thin masking tape across and start painting the background. But I found this drawing is drawing much more easier than using masking tape. But yes, you can use masking tape as well to draw those lines. So let's enjoy the process of drawing. So as you can see, mostly the focus of the line is at the center of the main line, which is dividing the foreground and the background. So we need to make sure that the lines which we are creating it should start from the center that joins the center of the adjoining lines. So you can see this lining part is almost done. So we'll start with the blocking of the foreground and width. And moving forward, we'll be doing more detailing of the foreground. So just enjoy the process. And almost ten, the line part is almost done. So we will now be mixing the colors and blocking in the foreground. 7. Tree Detailing: Hello friends, welcome back. So now you can see there's some textures in the tree trunk. So I'm just taking white and a little bit of burnt umber and just mixing it and trying to create some textures, adding little white. Also do it with my liner brush. I'm just trying to create some textures to it. So just outlining the outer area and just trying to create some lines and textures on the trunk. Just to give some details and realistic textures to this whole tree. Branch and trunk. Liner brush is very important and very important brush for doings details and lines. I'm just taking lemon yellow and little bit of white. And I'm just trying to create some highlights on that tree trunk. Just the highlight on one side of the tree trunk. As you can see, it's quite bright. So I'm just trying to create that same effect on one side of the tree trunk with my liner brush, or you can say rigger brush. And just highlighting some areas which are quite shiny. Now, taking my black again and creating some more effects to the other trees. Some are not properly shapes. I'm just trying to give a nice shape to all the trees and creating some branches. So just trying to give proper tree structure to all the trees. Just creating some random branches urine there. Now creating, again, just shaping the trees which are tin and which are not properly shaped, suggest trying to grip the shape to it. And adding little bit of bond on board to the trees. Because not all the trees are black. So just shaping the trees, it is very important that your tree looks is properly shaped and it looks real, then only that effect will come up. So just trying to give some effects and details to it here also one area is quite shiny because of that light is coming from behind. So whenever you are painting or doing any painting, either in oil or gouache or acrylic. Make sure you take care of the light direction which is coming. Because that plays a very important role in painting your entire painting. That is the most important part which needs to be understood and taken care. So you can see I'm just creating some lines, horizontal lines and details to the tree. So similarly for the other branches and trees and doing the same thing, I'm just highlighting the corner areas and creating some textures in between these that black portion. Just enjoy the process and the techniques which I am doing. So you can see the ones which are trees which are nearer. I'm just highlighting those and I'm leaving the trees which are very thin and which are far away. So I'm just highlighting those trees which are quite near to the foreground and just creating some branches. So whenever you are creating any fine lines, just make sure that your liquid, that your color is in liquid form, then only you will be able to create those fine lines properly. You will not be able to create fine lines if the color is thick. So take care of the density of the color, whether it is take cotton and make sure that the color is thin and in liquid form so that the color can easily flow on the brush. The upper background is almost complete. Now we will move towards the foreground, which is still left. We have just done the blocking and there's lot of detailing and layering technique which needs to be done on the foreground. So I've just completed the upper background and now we will be doing the foreground. 8. Detailing The Foreground: Hello friends, welcome back. So I'm just taking my brush too flat brush and black just on the tip of the brush and creating some textures behind. So after that, we'll start with the painting just I'm digging very little amount of plaque on the tip of the brush and creating the textures. So you have to take just a little bit of the color and start creating those small textures on the entire portion, which is the foreground. This is done. We'll start blocking in the colors. We'll start with the blocking pad after doing this. So now I'm using my fan brush of size one, and I'm just blocking in the entire colors. So let's first use the color that is the yellow and permanent green. Just the tip of the brush. And just dabbing your brush very gently. Don't put so much pressure on your brush. Just take a little bit of color and start filling in the area. Just so that was the darker portions. So I've left that with halftones, so we'll be doing with the darker color. I'm just covering those areas which has lighter green texture. Same technique we'll be using for the darker color also, but on the darker portion will be using the tallow green. For this lighter portion, we are using permanent green. Just very little amount of color. And with the tip of the fan brush, I'm creating those textures. Make sure that you don't press your brush. Just gently. Create small, small textures with it. And very light pressure to your brush, very light, very gentle pressure. Then only you will be able to create those small dots and textures on the foreground area. Are, you can see there are alternate dark and alternate light color. So that's what I'm also trying to do. Just this is the lighter version of color which I am doing and the portion which is left in-between, we'll be filling it with the darker color. This fan brush creates magic when it comes to the grass texture or any textures which you want to create specially the grasses. And it is also used in the tree textures. Also, like if you don't have that Bristol brush for the above d, dx, dy direction. You can always use this fan brush for creating those textures above the trees that leaves. And it's a very nice brush. And this brushes from rosemary, which I have what? You can also buy it and it is easily available online. Once we are done with the lighter one. Now we'll be doing with for the darker portion that is the tallow green. Via using you directly. You can see the contrast that the shady area is the darker color and the lighter color is the area where the lights are reflecting. So I'm just trying to covering those lines also which is visible so that when that it does not there. Try to cover those lines as well. That white lines which we have created because it was just for our convenience that this portion as white, this portion is lighter color and this portion is darker color, so you need to remove that line. So just try to overlap those with darker color. So this is the first layering which we are doing. There are two to three Lamar larynx which we will be doing. And ultimately those lines will disappear. So no need to worry. Now there's a line which is in-between that tree that is the boundary you can say which is created. So I'm just using the same masking tape and placing on that line where the background and foreground does miss joining. And I'll just use my brush. So this is the liner brush. And just using black color and creating that line. You can also use your scale to create your line or ruler anything to create those lines. I'm just using this masking tape, so that is easy for me to create those lines. So just trying to create that boundary which is dividing or you can say the fence which is dividing that area. Does drawn just remove the masking tape and just create some fence lines also in-between, just trying to create some lines, darkening the lines which are leftover, and just trying to create those fence lines in between. These are actually the fences which are dividing the two areas. So this is almost done. So let's start with our next part. So just done with the fencing bot. 9. Creating Lavender Texture: Hello friends, welcome back. So here you can see I've added two colors. That is alizarin crimson and dioxazine purple. So we'll be creating the foreground. So let's start with it. Let's first mix our colors, which we will be using the two colors which are quite to lavender colors. So I'm just taking my liner brush and Alizarin, crimson and white and eggs in purple mix. Just more of dioxazine, purple, more of white. I just want to create that pinkish. You can say lavender. I'm just trying to create that. So first, we will be doing that on the lighter area. So I'm just adding little bit of surrealism, blue and white also. Again, creating small dots on the area which is in the light portion. Thing. That liner brush will take up quite a lot of time. So let's use our Bristol brush. And with the tip of the brush, I'm trying to create those textures. Because creating 11 dot will take a lot of times I'm just using my tip off the flat bristle brush and creating those effects. Just the dots. As you can see. I'm using, I'm creating those textures on the lighter green area. So just more of a pink is there. So I'm just trying to create that. So just with the tip, you have to use a very light pressure. You have to create those textures and onto those areas which have lighter green color. So this is our third layer which we are using. The first was the blocking the background. Second one was the green, green color. And then this is the, again the textures that is D pinkish texture which we are creating on the lighter green part. I'll be blocking the entire area which has lighter green color. Now once this is done, using again more of digoxin and blue because the other one is quite bluish and texture. So more of blue. And this color we'll be using on the darker portion, that is the darker green color. Similarly, the same technique I'm using very light brush. Pressure on your brush and using the tip of the brush, you need to create those textures and fill the entire above area. Now once this is done, we will be now doing some details with our liner brush. Because this is the texture pod which is complete. Now we have to do the detailing part, which is still left. So here I'll be using my liner brush and the same color, adding more of surrealism and digoxin, purple and white mix. And just trying to create again the textures. So the colors should be more lighter than the one which we have used it earlier. I'm just trying to create that. I don't want to complicate this painting, so I'm just trying to create as much easy steps as possible. Does creating some dots, but lighter dots with that brush. The liner brush. So on all the area which is of this color. So it's quite time-consuming process of creating small effects and dots. So take your time and enjoy the process. And if you're getting bored, just take a break and then start doing it. Because there's sometimes we feel like it's taking a lot of times a duvet in a hurry, but please don't do that. Take time, breaks, whatever you feel like watching TV and then start over it again and do it slowly so that your painting is not affected. The painting really depicts your mood, what you are in. So if you are in a good mood, the painting will automatically turns out to be beautiful. And if you're not in a good mood than the chances that you can ruin your entire painting. So take breaks and do these detailing because it will take time. 10. Detailing The Lavender Garden: Hello friends, welcome back. So now we are using again the liner brush and using my black. I'm just trying to create some grass effect. Just taking a little bit too blue and trying to create some grassy effect on the area, but just joining that green and the lavender color, I'm just trying to create small grasses. So just creating some grass effect. So this is also a very long process and you have to repeat the same steps over and over again on the entire that grass area. Then again, you have to do another layer and another layer to give that are realistic to that, to that grass. So yes, it is a bit time-consuming process, but the end result is just mind-blowing. When you'll see the end result, you'll really love it. So just have patience and go with the flow. And this you have to use very fine line brush because you need to create fine grasses. Not but your colors should be in liquid form. So as I go above the colors a bit, not perfectly black, but it is sort of bluish. So that texture I'm trying to create little bit of alizarin crimson also added to it. So similar process I will be repeating on the entire area, entire garden area which is coming up. So just enjoy it. If you will see the entire painting. The main focus is on the lavender garden part, which is the most highlighting and I appealing part of the painting. So you have to make sure that it should be more realistic and it should look like that whole area is perfectly filled with lavender so forth. That's why first, we are trying to create some glass texture and then we will create that lavender effect. It's already coming as we have applied those colors, but still a lot of layering and the lavender effect is there, which needs to be created. So go slowly and create those grasses effect as much lines. You can see the lines I'm creating. The sidelines a bit diagonal like slant. And the middle lines are a little bit of watercolor and some are off indifferent angle swap. So the grasses has to be created in different, different angles, but the side trusses are to be like this, that they are falling off. So that is the shape which I'm trying to create on that grass effect. And once we are done with this, we will be again doing the layering on those grasses. So just trying to give those lines and highlights on the area. Similarly, I'll be doing on this right-hand side area as well. You can see how fluid might paint my color is. Then only I can. I'm able to create those fine lines. And of course, the brush also plays a very important role in this. So make sure that you use a fine liner brush for creating this texture. If you are interested in learning more of acrylic painting, there are almost ten to 12 classes of acrylics, which I've already uploaded. And you can always watch that. And you can easily follow that and you can learn the acrylic medium. So mostly I use acrylic and gloss medium for doing my nature painting. And I mostly do nature and some nature related painting, landscapes, portraits, portraits, animal portraits. So these types of paintings, I mostly do. If you're interested in one-on-one classes, you can always contact me via Instagram. That is Martini Art Gallery. You can always DM me there and ready to help you out. So just taking a little bit of lemon yellow. So just it's not coming out. So yes. Just a little bit of lemon yellow. And the screen that is tallow green. And I'm mixing lemon yellow and green. And again, I'm trying to create those grass lines so you can see how nice the color is coming when I've just added a tint of white to it. So bright green color is coming out. So again, What are the same or layering and same texture? We have to create this color on the lighter part of the green. And this color I'm just using for the lighter part of the green and the darker part, we will be using the darker color. So here I'm using the same liner brush and the same technique which I applied for that black color. The same technique I'm using for this lighter color also. Just trying to create the grasses which are falling in different angles. Just trying to create those effects. And there's some grasses which are in between those areas which are full of love vendors. One blocking is Dan. Similarly we'll be doing for the entire greenish area, that is light greenish area. So I've just divided that section into two lessons. So this is the first part. Now let's begin with the second one. 11. Grass Detailing: Hello friends, welcome back. Let's start with the same technique which we were using. I've just added white to that same color and making it a little light because that side it's quite light color. I'm just adding more yellow to it to brighten the color up. So just repeating the same process with my liner brush and creating different, different lines and different angles. As you can see, I'm repeating the same process which we have done earlier on. The other grasses which we were doing. So same process I'm repeating over here also. So take your time and do it slowly. Because it will take almost half of your time because grass detailing is the major part in this painting. I'm just adding little bit of highlights over this green area. Also. Some bright highlights. Not everywhere but little letter somewhere. So just highlighting those areas. Now, once we will be done with this slider bar, will start doing with the darker part as well. So I'm just mixing the same color and covering the other area which is left out. And I'm trying to block in that white line so that it is not visible because that was aligned which we draw it drew earlier. I'm just trying to cover that lineup. So try to take the fine line brushes, that tennis brushes, which you have, then only you will be able to create these fine lines. Cannot use a thick brush for doing these lines. You have to use the liner brush size. The minimum small size. Like 000, that is the best size you can use for these d tailings. You can see almost the picture has come up what we're going to do. But still, a lot of detailing is still required to make that painting look like that image. So we are trying to do that. So just creating more lighter color. So this is one of the technique which is called as layering technique, which we will use most of the time, doing a realistic painting even and for painting or any animal for painting. We use this type of technique. And it is very nice technique to create any realistic painting. So take your time. Do it slowly. Make sure that this color is a bit in fluid form. To create those fine lines. It should not be in the form tag form, otherwise you'll not be able to create those fine lines. As I said earlier. And do share your projects. Once you are done with this painting, I love to see those projects. I really enjoy seeing the projects from the students. That makes me feel more confident. And it's like something which I'm teaching and I'm also learning from it and do give your reviews because reviews plays a very important role in improving myself. So now I'm using this darker green, so I've just used a little bit of yellow and I'm trying to cover that darker portion. So same fallow green and a little yellow and just covering it. Same technique which I've used for the lighter color I'm using for the darker one. So once you are done with this entire grass technique, grasp painting will then do the lavender painting. Half of the lavender painting is done but still small, small details are left, which needs to be taken care. So this whole thing we'll be doing on the entire darker area. So just enjoy the process of painting fine lines. Yes, enjoy this lovely slow music. Which will make you feel more into it. This painting. You can also do it in gouache if you like it. This is the same process and the same technique you have to use in painting with gouache. You can definitely use it in Gouache technique also. This, I have done an acrylic or an, also an oil painting. You can do this but you need to take care. The background oil is dried, then only you can do the lettering part, otherwise the whole painting will be messed up. So in that, in oil painting, you need to take care of this part that the background color. Then you are doing the lettering has to be dried. And then you need to do the second layering. Layering will be done once the lower part of the color is dried-up? Yes. And of course you can do it an acrylic because actually drives fast. So you can do multiple layering as much as you can. You don't have to wait for it to dry it. So the almost done with the landing pad, it's fuel. Moral. Blocks are left, which we'll be doing slowly. We are almost done. So now we will proceed for the next detailing. That is the lavender detailing. 12. Final Detailing: Hello friends, welcome back. So this is the current brush which we will be using here for the painting. And this is our last video of the painting. Here I'm just taking alizarin, white and dioxazine purple mix. Little bit more of light because we need a little lighter color and little bit of a purplish pinkish color which we need to create. So just putting my brush in the vertical direction and the, just the tip of the brush, I'm trying to create those small, small patterns which will look like the bunch of flowers which are popping out. So this is the very nice and brush for creating such textures. So you can see like three dots will be coming up, like there are multiple branches off for flowers coming out. You just need to use the tip of the brush and create those dots on the entire area. You have to use the color, this color on the pinkish, but this color needs to be used on the lighter greenish part. And the other bluish color we'll be using on the other. But just trying to create some nice flower texture, that lavender texture. You can see how nicely the dots are coming up and it looks like the bunches of flowers are coming out. So this is actually Rosemary brush, which I'm using here. And of size two, which gives a very nice texture. As you can see. If you don't have this brush, you can always use your liner brush for creating such textures. Or you can use fan brush also for creating these textures. So you can see how I'm repeating the same steps on the entire area which is lighter green. I'm not covering the entire area, but on fuel, few areas and different sections. I'm creating such thoughts and in different directions so that it looks a bit realistic. Once we are done with this technique of painting is almost complete. And this is also a bit time taking. So take your time. Have a cup of tea or coffee, whatever you like, and take breaks and then start. So when I started painting, I also had this in mind that I have to finish this painting fast. Like after 30 or 30 minutes or one hour, I used to get bored and eyes to complete this painting as fast as I could. So patients develop with time. If you start painting every day at least for 30 minutes, and then you increase your time, you'll be able to resist your impatience and your patient's level will also increase. So this what I did. And I used to take breaks in between and I used to listen to music after taking one or two hours of painting session and then I used to take breaks for one or two hours and then start over again. So this is how I use to complete my painting. Now also I use the same technique of completing the painting. Like I started with 30 minutes and then I increased to one hour and then to us. So likewise, I started increasing my time interval of painting. So if you paint every day, at least for 30 minutes with time, you are your patient's level will develop. I'm sure. You can see I'm using the bluish color and does have just mix blue and the same color is there. So and same technique you have to use for the entire dark part of the painting. I'm already loving this painting. I hope you guys too. So it's quite bright painting. Rarely, very bright. Bright sunny day. I have never seen lavender garden, but I love to see in my near future. So since I have not seen it personally, so I thought why not to paint it on my Canvas? Maybe in near future, I'll definitely go and visit this lavender garden. I hope you guys must have seen so many places so you can relate to it. So yes, we all most moving forward to the completion of the painting, just few more minutes left and we'll be done with this beautiful lavender garden painting.

Now you can see that this area that the branches of the tree trunk has been lightened up because of that texture. So I'm just giving it a shape to it. Because the colors has come up on that. Black areas where I'm just highlighting dose almost at the end part of the painting. And see you can see that lines have disappeared. So I'm just darkening it up because those lines, three lines are coming down on those grasses. So I'm just darkening those lines up. More important thing is that when you are done with the painting, leave it for one day to get dried completely. And then in the next day, just tried to varnish this painting with your anyone is like satin varnish or matte finish, whatever you have so that you can protect your painting from dust or from any other dust particle. So varnishing is very important for protecting your painting. And if you have any doubt and varnishing, you can see some of the videos I have shown, how to wildness your painting.
