Transcripts

1. Introduction & Materials : Many Eyes go through the metal, but few see the flowers and hi, my name is Dakota. I'm practicing art for more than a decade yet my enthusiasm towards it keeps increasing. Today's class is all about loose aesthetic Florence, sparkling shine of metallics using simple materials. So let's get started. Let's see the materials required. For practice. Use drawing sheets, preferably A4 size and for class projects, cold compress papers, A5 size. We will require brushes of size 36. Watercolor tubes or cakes removed in a pallet to thousands of bottles, silver and copper pigment powders, and few paper towels. See you in the 2. Quick practice : Welcome to the lesson, quick practice. Let's begin with the orange pigment. First, I'm going to add three dots with the orange pigment and then soften it up with a wet brush. While adding a dash of cocoa powder to your pigment. Keep adding more three dots of the same color and then soften it up with a wet brush. This way, your petals are ready. You can add additional touch ups with your tissue paper and also continue with the damp brush. Basically you're using the calendar technique, the excess of paint and my wiping it up on the tissue paper. Petals are wet. This is the best time to add some Prussian blue for the center. Let's try making the next flower using Crimson Lake. I'm adding three dots of the same color, softening it up with a damp brush, and then adding the cocoa powder as and when required. Every time I add my three dots, I soften it up and then keep removing the excess on the tissue. The center this time is cobalt blue. My top flower now is using Naples yellow. Again, three dots softening the petals. Adding three more dots. Make your brush softer and tap again. Every time I lift up, drive it up on the tissue paper, adding dots with burnt umber in the center. We will now practice WA of flowers. Firstly, I'm beginning with three dots of Prussian blue with a dash of copper powder in my brush. Now without cleaning, I'm touching a dash of crimson lake and making petals with crimson lake and little bit of copper dust, ocher and burnt umber, my favorite. Let's try making using the same method. This is the correct time to check out on my previous flower with some crimson lake. You can give few details according to however you like. Now let's come to the fifth one. Again, I'm adding few more burnt umber dots. So as you notice, it is always not a correct time to do it on a wet on wet technique. At times we tried to let it dry slightly and then we add few more detail. Now finishing up with the Persian blue and the Sandoval bought the flowers. Let's see how to make leaves and stem. I'm using sap green, using the tip of my paintbrush and giving few strokes, urine, they're randomly to add leaves and stems. Do my flowers. As it is a noun brush. You can play with the ticks and tens when you want to give your leaves. Adding some berries with dread and dots with Coppola to make it look dramatic. Let's paint some colorful butterflies first times getting it out with a pencil. You can see the sketch on the top. Applying some clean water in the shape of the butterfly. Crimson lake for the first ring. And then adding the second thing with a touch of cobalt blue yard. We will keep in mind the one which is behind will be slightly lighter to the one we just add front. Flavored the tints and ticks of the brush. Use two different brushes and play around. 3. Class project : Welcome back to the class project. This is the final class where we're going to incorporate what we have learned. Let's begin with a yellow ocher flower, again, starting with three dots and softening it up using the tip of the brush. When I want the color to be concentrated, I'm using more pigment and less water. And when I wondered color to be transparent, I'm using more of water, adding few more petals to my floor, softening them up by typing the x's on the tissue. Copper, gold and silver powder. Or the most easy and convenient way to make your painting look metallic. Moving towards my second flower using permanent orange. Playing around with some transparent paints, urine there in your flour and let it look perfect. Space left in the corner. We can add few petals to make as if there isn't a half flower. Tiny using copper and silver powder. Overlapping two colors are ideal in nice kind of flowers. Slight touch things in blue and the purple which you get makes a flower looks so pretty. Letting the first layer dry slightly and then adding the second layer. You will notice I'm adding a lighter flower and then a darker flower beside it so that it will enhance your previous flower. What you have made. Feel free to use the colors however you like. Butterfly here is the cherry on the top on flowers. Play around with the stroke of the thick and thins in your brush. And add some couple of powder to it. Time to add some leaves and splatter. Most of the time I splatter with the color which is leftover in my brush. The Apple iPod was looking slightly empty, so I decided to add few flowers there too, while it in the first layer and crimson lake in my second layer with some brilliant do in the center. I decided to add half flowers on both the side of the center flower, one with yellow ocher and burnt sienna, joining them with sap green leaves and stems. I enjoy the splattering part the most, but always be careful to keep a tissue paper on the rest of the area so that you don't spoil it. Now, let's add the code to the painting. I'm writing it with the pencil first. And then now with the tip of the brush, I've added a bit of silver dust to my paint. And I'm trying to maintain the thicks and thins. As I write. The momentum is going up and making it ten and then it is coming down. I'm trying to give it a tick, adding dots and start to make it look shiny and brighter. Data we add Tan.
