1. Introduction and Supplies You Will Need: Hi friends. How are you? I hope you're having
a great day today. I'd like to introduce
you to this course. This is a drawing
and painting course, and it was designed especially
for kids and beginners. Students do not need to have
any drawing or painting experience to be
successful in this course. I will guide students step-by-step through the
entire creative process. So they will feel
comfortable at all times. In this course, students
will create artwork inspired by the warm
days of summer. I'm excited to teach
students how to draw and paint a fish with patterns. Hallow summer sign,
a dolphin at sunset, and a surfing bear. Let's talk about the supplies in the materials that you will
need for this entire course. The first thing
that you'll need is a sheet of watercolor paper. For each of the projects. You will need some watercolor
paints and a paintbrush. These are two
different size paint brushes that you
might consider using. But if you don't
have these sizes, that's okay, just use what
you have available to you. You will need a cup or a
bowl with clean water. You will need some oil
pastels or some crayons. Either one will work. You will need a
permanent marker. It means that the
ink and the marker will not run around on
your piece of paper. If you add water or
watercolor paints to it, and you will need a paper towel. So go ahead and collect
these items and then we will get started
on our first project.
2. Let's Draw and Paint a Fish!: Hi friends, how are you? I hope you're having
a great day today. I'm excited about sharing
this project with you. This is a drawing and
watercolor painting project. And today we are going to be creating this really
awesome fish. I hope that you have a lot
of fun with this project. Let's get started. Let's talk about
the supplies and the materials that you will
need for this project. The first thing
that you'll need is a sheet of watercolor paper. You will need a set of watercolor
paint and a paintbrush. You will also need a cup or
a bowl with clean water. And then you will need a black oil pastel
or a black crown and a yellow or orange
oil pastel or crayon. So yellow or orange, you don't need both,
just one or the other. The last thing that you'll
need is a paper towel. So go ahead and gather all of those supplies and materials, and I'll see you back
here in the next video. In this step, we're going
to draw our fish design. So let's get started. We're going to orient our paper landscape,
the landscape way, which is going back
and forth this way as opposed to up and down
with our piece of paper. Because we're going
to make our fish going across our piece
of paper like this. Our fish is going to be large. So keep that in mind
as you're drawing. Small fish are so
cute, aren't they? But we want to be
able to see this fish from across the room if we're
looking at it on the wall. So we want it to
be nice and big. Go ahead and pick up either your yellow oil pastel or crayon or your orange
oil pastel or crayon, I'm going to use my orange. And the reason why
is because I want you to be able to see my
drawing on the video. Okay? So come in a little bit from the left edge just to CAD. And we're going to
make a curved line. And like I said, our fish is
going to be fairly large. So we want to make a curve
line that is fairly large. And we want to leave some space here on the
right hand side for a tail. So now we have our curve line, that's the top of our fish. Now we're going to come back
to this area right here. And then we're going to
come down and come back up. But we're not going to close this shape right here because
we want to create a tail. Now you can create any
tail that you'd like, any style tail that you'd like. If you want a really
huge tail you can make that are really small tail, It's up to you. I'm going to make a tail with a slightly curved line this way, a slightly curved line this way. And then come in
and then come out. That's the type of tail
I'm going to make. Alright, the next
thing that we're going to do is
we're going to add some detail on the inside
of our fish's body. So you get to make any lines or patterns
that you would like to with your orange or your
yellow oil pastel or crayon. I'm just going to
start making patterns. I'm going to start right
here with a straight line because I want to section
off the head from the body. Now, I am going to just
start making my patterns. So I think what I'll do first
is I'll make a curve line. And then I'll make
another curve line. Then maybe I'll
make a wavy line. And then maybe I'll make
another curve line. Now up here at the top in
this space right here, I think I'm going to
make some circles. They'll probably be pretty
large for this space. Sometimes I don't know until I'm actually drawing if they're
going to be small or big. Now I think down here I will
make some smaller circles. And then down here I think
I'll make some scales. And those are just going to
be some curved lines that are connected together
the way across. But as I said before, you can make any type of
pattern that you'd like. Just fill in those spaces. Alrighty. So after we have all of our patterns in our
spaces filled up, then what we're going to
do is if you'd like to, we're going to put a little
bit of detail in the tail. We're going to make
a fin on the back. It can be any type of
offender you'd like. You can have just a
wavy line like I made, or you can have your
fin de more pointed. It's up to you. Then I think I'll even make a small thin down
here at the bottom. Here we go. Now that we've
created our fish design, what we're going to do next
is we're going to take our black oil pastel or crayon. And we're going to
add some details. So I'm going to make, and I write here,
it's pretty large. I'm not going to make
a mouth on this fish, but if you want to make a mouth like a little
smile or something, you can go ahead and do that. Then down here at the bottom, if you have some space, you can even make some seaweeds, some sand, different details like little shells or starfish. It's up to you. I have
a little bit of space. So down here at the very bottom, I'm going to make some sand. It's not going to be a
really straight line because it's sand. Then I think right
here I'm going to make a few little rocks. So those are just circles
with a little bit of seaweed coming up like this. Then maybe I will make a
little starfish right here. I love it. I think I'll
make some bubbles up here. There we go. Depending on how much space you have on
your piece of paper. You can get creative
with your background. If you'd like to fill
up your background with a lot of different details, go ahead and do that. Alright, I think I'm finished. If you have more drawing to do, go ahead and do that before
we add our watercolor paints. In the next step, once you're finished, your hands might be a little bit messy. So why don't you just wipe that off on your
handy-dandy paper towel. And I will see you
in the next video. In this step we
are going to apply some watercolor
paints to our design. So let's get started. The first thing that
I'm going to do is I'm going to add a drop or two of water into
each pan of paint. And what this will do is it
will soften up my paints a little bit so they are
easier for me to use. So I do encourage students to take that step because
it does make it a lot easier to use
these paints if they have a little bit of
water to dissolve that paint. Now that our paints
or softening up, Let's turn our attention
to our drawing. So here we have a big fish and we have a background
for our fish. We have some seaweed and we have a little bit of sand
and some other details. So what we're going
to do right now is we're going to
paint our fish. And we're going to
paint our details. And then we're going to save the background painting
for the next step. What you can do is you can think about the color that
you'd like to use. For the background. I'm going to use a color that is not an ordinary
color for the ocean. I'm going to use the color pink. So if you'd like to use
a different color other than the ocean color
that we normally see, which is blue or greenish
blue or a dark blue. And then you can use a
different color as well. So I'm going to use pink
for the background. So I'm not going to use pink for my fish because I
want to use pink for the background and I want my fish to stand out
from the background. I think I'm going to
use mostly greens, maybe some blues, and then maybe a little bit
of purple or orange. I'm not even sure yet. For the sand down here, I'm going to use a light
brown which will be tan, maybe some green and red. And then for these bubbles, I think I'm going to not put
any paint on there at all. So I'm going to start out
with the sand and I'm going to show you how to
make a sand color. I'm going to take a tiny bit of brown and add
quite a bit of water. And that will make a really
light brown as sand color. So that's what I'm going
to do for my sand. And then four. The rocks, I'm going to
make a really light gray. So I put some water in one of my wells and I used a
little bit of black. And I'm going to paint those rocks gray
like a light gray. Then I think I'm going to
use red for my starfish. Notice I'm trying to
stay inside the lines. Like my starfish to
be a darker red. And then for my seaweed, I think I'd like my seaweed
to be green. We go. Okay, Now for my fish, I think I'm going to use
some blues and some greens, so I'll start out here. I'm going to try to stay
inside these lines. But if I go outside of
the lines a little bit, that's okay because
sometimes it's neat to watch the watercolor
paints blend together. So what I'm going to do is I am just going to start painting. And you can watch me. I'll speed up the video and then I'll see you back
here in just a minute. The next step, what we're
going to do is we're going to come back and
paint the background. So I'll see you back
here in the next video. In this step, we
are going to add some watercolor paint
to our background. So let's get started. So as I mentioned before, I'm going to paint
my background pink. I know that that's not
the typical ocean color, but that's the color
that I want to use. So I encourage you Use the
color that you'd like to use. So I'm going to make
some pink paint by putting a few drops of water and a little bit of paint
into one of my Wells. I'm going to test it out on my paper towel,
see if I like it. Oh, I love it. Okay. So what I'm
going to do is I am going to carefully
paint my background. And I will speed up this video
so that you can watch me. And I will be back
in just a minute. Alrighty friends. I'm finished painting the
background of my fish design. I'm really happy with the
way that it turned out. I hope that you had a lot
of fun with this project. I will see you next time.
3. Let's Draw and Paint a HELLO SUMMER Sign!: Hi friends, how are you? I hope you're having
a great day today. I'm excited about sharing
this project with you. This is a hallow summer, a celebration to summer artwork that we are going to
be creating today. We're going to be drawing and we're going to be using
watercolor paints. So I hope that you have a lot
of fun with this project. Let's get started. Let's talk about
the supplies and the materials that you will
need for this project. The first thing
that you'll need is a sheet of watercolor paper. You will need a set of watercolor paints
and a paintbrush. I like to use this size. If you'd like to have a
smaller paintbrush as well, because we have some
small spaces in here, you can go ahead and use
a smaller paintbrush. You will need a
cup or a bowl with clean water and a
permanent marker. Permanent means that the
marker will not run around, the ink will not run around
if you add water to it. You will also need
a paper towel. Go ahead and gather all of
those supplies and materials. And I'll see you back
here in the next video. In this step, we will
draw our designs. So let's get started. The first thing that
we're going to do is we're going to write two words here directly
in the middle. Those words are hello
and the word summer. And I'm going to
show you how to make some really cool
letters. Alrighty. You're going to want to go to the middle of your
piece of paper. We are going to make
our letters pretty big. About two or 2.5 inches tall. If that's in centimeters, it's about three or
3.5 centimeters. Okay. So we're going to put them
right here in the middle. We're going to make
the letters BIG but not giant because
we want to make sure that we can fit all of the letters
on a piece of paper. All right, so take the cap off of your marker and
we're going to start. If this is the middle of our
piece of paper right here, we're going to go up
just a little bit, okay? So we'll start in just a bit and we're going to
make a straight line. And then we're going to make another straight line right next to the first straight line. And remember if your line
isn't perfectly straight, That's okay because
you're human being. Let's close up into this shape. That's a really long rectangle. So that's, this is for our h, It's the left side
of our letter h. Now we're going to move
over a bit and we're going to make another
straight line. And then we're going to make another straight
line that's running perpendicular to this
line and this line. Alright, there's our
h. Now let's make an E because we're
writing the word hello. So H, e. So we're making a straight line,
another straight line. And then we're closing those up. This is the left side, the spine of our e. Now we need to make a line here, a line here that's a
little bit smaller. And a line here. You see there's our h and r e. Now we need to make the letter L. So we're going to
make two L's actually. So we have this L, So we have straight line, straight line close up and then make a line
here at the bottom. And then the same for this L. So two lines and then close those up and make another
line here at the bottom. And then for our, oh, we're just going to make
the letter O pretty big. Because the OH, has curves. We're not going to
use straight lines. We're going to use a
curve line right here. On the left-hand side. There's our word hello. If yours is not perfectly level or straight and it has
a little bit of curve to it. That's okay, that
actually will look great. It doesn't have to be perfect. So we have the word hello. Now we need to have
the word summer down here below our word hello. So let's make a capital letter S and that's going
to be fairly large. And the kind of like the O doesn't have any straight lines. So we're going to
make a curved line here and a curved line here. Then for our u,
we're going to make the letter U really large. Then we're going to make a
little line here on the left. And another line
coming down like this. There's our S and R you. Now for the letter M, we're going to make
a straight line, another straight line
in close that up. Then we're going to make a V.
And another straight line. There's our n. Then we have another
m that we're going to make exactly
like this one. So we have SUM. I'm going to make a straight
line, a straight line, and close those up to
make a long rectangle. And then a V, and then
another straight line. Alright, now we're going
to make, Let's see, SUM and E. So we need a
straight line, a straight line. Close those up in like this E. We're going to make a line, a shorter line,
and a longer line. Sum m e. Now we need to make
an r. So let's make a straight line,
a straight line. Close those up. There's the spine of our R. And then we're going
to make a curve line. Then a slanted line. There we go. We have hello, summer. Remember if your letters don't look exactly like
mine, that's okay. Remember I've had a lot of practice creating
letters like this. And what you can take
away from this lesson, one thing that you can
take away is that you can make more letters like this. You can make any letter
in the alphabet. Just add a little bit of
thickness to the left-hand side. Alright, now that we have our letters in our words
that say hello summer, let's add an exclamation
mark right here. We have a straight
line, a straight line. Close those app. And little square right here
at the bottom. Alright? So what we're going to do
next is we're going to make a happy sunshine up here, coming up from the
hallow summer. So I'm going to start
about right here and make a curved line about like that. And then I'm going to
make an upside down U, which connects this
line to this line. Drawing slowly and carefully. So I do my best work. Now that we have the
main part of our Sun, Let's add some rays. You can add the rays
along this area. And you can have some triangles, or you can have some
really long rectangles, or you can have lines. It's up to you how you would
like the rays of your son. I think I'm going to make the type of ray that
looks like this. So some curved lines that
just come out like this. They almost look like petals. So I'm just going to go
along that top line of my son and I'm going
to make some rays. Alright, now that I have
the rays for my son, I'm going to make some eyes and they're going to
be pretty wide set, meaning they're not going
to be very close together. You can make any eyes, any type of eyes that you like. I'm making a little
bit like an oval I with a circle at the top and then I'm going
to fill them in with marker. So that's a little shine mark there at the top of that oval. You can make any eye any type of phi that
you'd like for your son. You can make smiling eyes
where they're just lines that are upside down use or you
can make just plain circles. It's up to you. Now you can make a mouth. You decide what kind of mouth
that you'd like to make. I think I'm going to
make a mouth that looks like this, a line. So there's the top
part of my mouth and then underneath
I'm going to make a u that connects those two ends
of the line and then a line coming across like this and these are going to
be teeth right here. I like that kind of
a smile for a son. Now I may or may not add some cheeks right
here as I'm painting. I'm not sure if I'm
going to do that. There'll be pink if
I decide to do that. Now I'm going to make a slice of watermelon underneath
the words hello summer. And the slice of watermelon is going to be about this big. It's not going to be giant, but it's not going to be tiny. I'm going to make a
slightly curved line right under that word summer. And I'm going to make a u that attaches the two
ends of those lines. Then I'm going to move in a little bit and
I'm going to make another you following
along that first line. Then what I'm going to
do is I am going to make some seeds,
some black seeds. Just kinda sprinkle those seeds throughout
this watermelon. So now you can think of some
designs that you'd like to add to the sides
of your artwork. I'm just going to add some
little splashes here, and maybe some little circles. Maybe one right here. I'm not going to put
too many on there, but I just want it
to look like there's some summer fun right here. So maybe I'll add a
few little circles. You can add any types of
shapes that you'd like. It's completely up to you. You want to add some
hearts, are some stars. This is your artwork so you
get to add what you'd like. I think that I'm
happy with mine. If there's anything
else that you would like to add
to your artwork, go ahead and do
that now before we start adding our
watercolor paints. In the next step, I will show you how to use your watercolor paints on
our Hello summer artwork. In this step we are going
to paint our design. So let's get started. The first thing that
we're going to do is we're going to add a drop or two of water to
each pan of paint. And what this will do
is it will soften up our watercolor paints so they
are easier for us to use. So go ahead and
take a moment to do that as it really does help. Now that our paints
are softening up, Let's turn our attention to our design and
talk about colors. Because this is your artwork. You get to choose the colors
that you'd like to choose. I'm going to choose a yellow for the sun and a red and a
green for the watermelon. And I think for the background, I'm going to choose a blue. I'm not quite sure the
colors that I'm going to paint my hello
summer letters. I'm not sure on that yet. And I'm not sure about
the little splashes, maybe a different shade
of blue I might use. But because I do know that my
son is going to be yellow. And because that's
a very light color, I'm going to start there. I'm going to be very careful about staying
inside the lines, but I'm going to
understand that if my paint goes outside of
the lines a little bit, that's going to be no problem. That's what watercolor
paint loves to do. Run around. As you can see, my son is pretty bright and
that's how I want it to be. So I'm adding just a little
bit of water to my paints, but I'm adding a lot of paint. So if you want bright colors, you add a lot of paint and
a little bit of water. And if you want
really soft colors, pale colors, then you add
more water and less paint. So I'm going to be very
careful as I'm painting in my arrays because this
is a very small space. Going to do the best that I can. Then I'm going to move to my watermelon and I'm
going to paint that. I will see you back here. I'll speed up the
video a little bit. I'll see you back here
in just a minute. Alrighty friends. I'm back and I'm finished painting my son. I still need to paint the
inside of the sun's mouth. I'm finished painting my
watermelon and my letters, and my little designs, my little splash
marks and circles. So the next thing that I'm
going to do when I come back is I'm going to
paint the background. So I will see you back
here in the next video. In this step we are going
to paint the background. So let's get started. So let's talk about the
colors that you can choose. For your background. You can choose multiple
different colors if you'd like, or you can choose one color. I'm going to choose just one color and
that's the color blue. I've made a little bit of
blue paint right here. And the way that I did that
is I put a little bit of blue paint and a lot of water
in the the little well, because I want to make sure that this paint is pretty light. I'd like my paint to be light on my piece of
paper because I want my son to really pop out and I want watermelon and the
letters to really pop out. So I'd like a light
blue background. As I said before, you get to choose the
colors that you like. And just think about what you
think would look the best. So we're going to
paint slowly and carefully so we
do our best work. I hope you can see this
on my piece of paper. If you can't let me
describe it to you. It's a fairly light blue and that's what I
want it to look like. I want it to be pretty
light because I want those other colors
to really stand out. So I want it that color
to be pretty light. What I'm going to do is I'm
going to carefully try to stay on this side of the line because I don't
want my colors to mix a lot. And I'm going to also
understand that if my paint starts running into
other colors, that's okay. Alrighty friends. I'm going to speed
up this video and I'll be back in just a minute. Alrighty friends. I'm back and I'm finished
painting my background. The last thing that
I'm going to do is put a little tiny bit of gray inside the mouth of my son. And to make gray, I'm going to put a tiny
dot of black inside one of my wells and I'm going to carefully put a
little bit of gray. All right, friends.
So there we go, our Hello, summer artwork. I hope that you had a lot
of fun with this project. I really had a lot
of fun teaching it. And I will see you next time.
4. Let's Draw and Paint a Dolphin at Sunset!: Hi friends, how are you? I hope you're having
a great day today. I'm excited about sharing
this lesson with you. This is a dolphin at sunset. And we are going to be
drawing and painting today. We're going to be using
our watercolor paints. So I hope that you have a lot
of fun with this project. Let's get started. Let's talk about
the supplies and the materials that you will
need for this project. The first thing that you'll need is a piece of watercolor paper. You will need a set of watercolor paints
and a paintbrush. I like to use this
size paintbrush. But if you have a different
size that you like to use, go ahead and use that. You will also need a cup or
a bowl with clean water. You will need a black crayon, and you will also
need a paper towel. So go ahead and gather all of those supplies and materials. And I'll see you back
here in the next video. In this step, we are
going to draw our design. So let's get started. Go ahead and pick up your black crayon and find the middle of
your piece of paper. The middle of my piece of
paper is about right here. You're going to go pretty close to the end of
your piece of paper. I would say about two or
three for you. Finger spaces. Your fingers are probably
smaller than mine. So go about three fingers spaces from the edge of
your piece of paper. And what we're going to
do is we're going to draw a curve line from here. We're going to arch it and then we're going to land about here, not all the way to the
edge of our paper, but about three finger spaces
away from the end here. So watch what I do. I start about right here. I'm going to go up with
a pretty straight line. And then I'm going
to start an arch. I'm going to come
around like this. Then I'm going to stop a little bit further
down from this one. So if you're drawing
a straight line here, It's a little bit further
down your piece of paper. Alright, now that
we have our arch, what we're going to do next, we are going to make our
dolphins nose and mouth. So coming from this line here, we're going to make a curve
line coming around like this. This is going to be the
top part of his nose. And then what we're
going to do next is we're going to come
in just a little bit. We're going to come down. And then over like this. So this is the top
part of his mouth and nose and this is the
bottom part of his mouth. Now what we're going to do
is we are going to go a little bit further
with this line. And we're going to
stop about right here. Now what we're going to do is
we're going to make a thin. So the fin is going
to have a curve line. We're going to go
up a little bit, make a curve line and come down. See how I made that
curved line right here. And look at where this
intersects, right here. It goes a little bit up. This line is curved line that I just made goes
up a little bit. Now we're going to scooch
over just a little bit, maybe about two or
three finger spaces. And we're going to make
another curve line and we're going to
connect right here. This is going to be one of
our fins on our dolphin. Now what we're going to
do is we're going to follow this line here. We're going to jump over that thin and we're going to come out the other side down and then
meet at a point right here. This is going to be the base
of our tail for our dolphin. Remember, if your dolphin
doesn't look exactly like mine, that's actually a
really good thing. We want your dolphin to look
like your dolphin right? Now that we have drawn the main part of our
body for our dolphin, we're going to create the tail. So we're going to have a curve
line coming up like this. Then if your tail goes off of your piece of
paper, that's okay. And then we're going
to curve down, right? It's almost like
a teardrop shape. So come up to a point
and then come down. That's going to be the tail. Now let's go back up to
the top of our dolphin. And let's create the top fin. So curved line. And then a curved
line coming in. There we go. Now let's add
a little bit of detail. Let's make a blow
hole right here. Let's make an eye that
is closed right here. Almost looks like our
dolphin is smiling, right? Alright, so that's the
basic shape of our dolphin. Now that we have
drawn our dolphin, Let's create a background. So I'm going to have my dolphin
jumping out of the water. So I'm going to make my water down a little bit
from my dolphin. And I'm just going to make some curved lines that are
connected together like this. There we go. Now I'm going to add a
little bit more Water, little tiny waves,
maybe one more here. You can add as many
waves as you'd like. If there's something else that you'd like to add
inside the water, you can go ahead and
do that as well. Some little fish would be cute. All right, now let's make
some drops coming down from the tail because our dolphin just jumped out of the water. So let's make some
little splashes. Now let's add
something in the sky. You can add some clouds
or you can add a sun. I think I'm going to add a
sun right here in the corner. Maybe I'll even put a
little smile on my son because this is a
cartoon little smile. And then I'll add some
rays going around. And those are just going to be some curved lines that
are connected together. You know, of a different way
to make raise for your son. You can go ahead and make your raise any
way that you'd like. Sometimes I use some
triangles going all the ROI around or sometimes
I just use straight lines. But for this project I decided
to use this type of array. Alright, I think
that I'm finished, but if there's anything
else that you'd like to add to your drawing, go ahead and do that now
before we start painting. In the next step, we will add some watercolor
paint to our design. In this step we are going to add some watercolor
paints to our design. So let's get started. The first thing
that we're going to do is we're going to add a drop or two of water
to each pan of paint. And what this will do is it will soften up our
paints a little bit, so it will make them
easier for us to use. So I really encourage
students to take a moment to add a drop or two of water to
each pan of paint. Now that our paints or
softening up a bit, Let's turn our attention
to our design. So in this part of our project, you get to pick the
colors that you would like to paint your design. It's up to you. I'm going to paint my dolphin, blew, my water blue. And I'm going to
have a sunset sky. So I'm going to paint my sky a combination
of orange and yellow. It's completely up to you as to the colors that
you would like to use. So just because I'm using
a certain set of colors, does not mean that you need
to use the same color. So I'm going to start
painting my dolphin first. And I'm going to paint
him this shade of blue. Going to add some paint to one of my wells and
I'm going to add some water to that, test it out. Oh, I like that color. I am going to try to stay inside the lines for this project. Already friends. I'm finished painting
the dolphin. And for the water down here, I have mixed up a couple of
different colors together. I have mixed a darker blue
and a lighter blue because I wanted the color to be a little bit different from the
dolphin just a little bit. So that looks pretty similar. Let me add a little
bit more of this lighter blue and
see what happens. Alrighty friends, I'm finished painting the dolphin
and the ocean. I'm not sure if you
can see on the video, but the colors, the blue colors are a little bit different
from each other. Alright, the next
thing that we're going to do in the next video is we're going to paint
the sky and the sun. So I will see you back
here in the next video. In this step, we are going
to paint our background. We're going to paint
the sky and the sun. So let's get started. As I mentioned before, I am going to paint
a sunset sky, which is going to be a
combination of yellow and orange. You can paint any
sky that you'd like. But that's what I
am going to do. I'm going to start out with my yellow and paint my son yellow. And then I'm going
to move to the sky. Okay. I'm going to
use some yellow. I'm going to also
use some orange. So I'm going to go ahead
and speed up the video. And I will be back
in just a minute. Alrighty friends, I'm
finished painting my design. I'm really happy with the
way that it turned out. I hope that you had a lot
of fun with this project. I will see you next time.
5. Let's Draw and Paint a Surfing Bear!: Hi friends, how are you? I hope you're having
a great day today. I'm excited about sharing
this project with you. This is a drawing and
watercolor painting project. And today we will be creating this cute bear who is
surfing on a wave. I hope that you have a lot
of fun with this project. Let's get started. Let's talk about
the supplies and the materials that you will
need for this project. The first thing
that you'll need is a piece of watercolor paper. You will need a set of watercolor paints
and a paintbrush. You will also need a cup or
a bowl with clean water. And a permanent marker. Permanent marker
means that the ink will not run around if
you add water to it. You will also need
a paper towel. So go ahead and gather all of those supplies and materials. And I'll see you back
here in the next video. In this step, we
are going to draw our surfing bear design. So let's get started. The first thing that
we're going to do is find the middle of
our piece of paper. The middle of my piece
of paper is right here. And what we're going to do
is we're going to create a circle right here
above the middle line. That is going to be the head and face of our surfing bear. So let's go ahead and make
a medium size circle. Not too big. If your circle is not perfect, like my circles not perfect. That's okay. It's really challenging
to make a perfect circle, even for me and I've been making circles for a lot of years. So whatever type of
shape that you have, even if it's not
a perfect circle. That's okay. Let's make some
ears coming off of the top side of your circle. And then we're going
to come down here to the lower part of
our piece of paper. Starting here at the
bottom part of our circle. What we're going to do
is we're going to make a slightly curved
line coming down. And we're going to do the
same thing on the other side. Now we're going to
come in a little bit. Come in a little bit from
those initial lines, and then make an upside down U that connects these
two lines right here. This is going to be the
body of our surfing bear. Now let's make this surfing
bears arms and legs. So the arms will come
out from the side. You can make them up, you could make them down, you can make them
slanted like mine. Maybe on this one I'll go a little bit more
straight out like this. That way my bear can balance. Alright, now let's
come down here to the lower part underneath
the little pants. And we're going to
make some little legs. Curved lines. Now that we have the basic
shape of our surfing bear, what we're going to do is
we're going to cut back up to the face and we're going
to add some details. So let's make an oval towards
the bottom of our circle. That's going to
be the nose area. Make a line towards the top
but not touching the top. And then a V enclosed that up. So it looks like an
upside-down triangle. Let's make a straight line
coming down from the bottom of that triangle and then a curved
line for a little smile. Now what we're going to
do is we're going to come back and we're going
to make some eyes. I'm going to make my
eyes pretty wide set, meaning that they're not going
to be too close together, but I am going to
want to make them a roughly the same size. The next thing that we're
going to do is we're going to add some little swim trunks
down here at the bottom. I'm going to make a curve line. Then I'm going to add a design
down here with my marker. You can add some
flowers or you can add some stripes or some
squares or circles. It's up to you. I'm going to add some stripes. So it just gives a
little bit more detail to these shorts. There we go. Alright, the next
thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to add a little
bit of detail into the ears. Then I'm going to start
working on my background. So because this is
a surfing pair, we're going to make a surf
board down here at the bottom. Let me show you how
we're going to do that. It's going to be
a small surfboard because we don't have a
lot of space down here. So what we're going to do is
we're going to start about right here and
make a curve line. Jump over the bearers leg, come out in the middle
and then jump over again and then come
out and then end up, uh, roughly the same space
that we did over here. My areas a little bit
smaller and that's okay. Now we're going to make
a curve line coming down and then going back up. So we connect those two lines. Then I'm going to
make a triangle down here at the bottom. And then you can decorate your surf board in a
way that you'd like. I am just going to make a
stripe down the middle. Did you notice how I jumped over the legs of my surfing bear? I'm going to make one stripe
going down the middle. Alright, the next thing that
we're going to do is we're going to make some waves
down here at the bottom. We're going to make a wave
coming up from the bottom. So I'm going to come up and it's going to be a little
bit of a splashy wave. So some curved lines. Let me show you how I did that. I made a curved
line coming up from the surf board and then I
came in with a curved line, came out with a curve
line in and out, and then all the way back down. Right? I'm going to make
a little bit of a wave up here at the front. Curved lines, same
as in the back. Then I think what
I'll do is I'll make some little water drops. You can make as
many water drops as you'd like if you want
to make some back here, maybe look like little
raindrops, don't they? Now I'm going to create some
water in the background. We'll just go like this.
I think that's good. Now I think what
I'll do is I'll add a little bit more detail
down here at the bottom. So I'll add a few
more little waves. I just like to make little
lines, little curved lines, and that reminds me of
a wave. Here we go. It reminds me of water. Alright, if there's anything else you'd like
to add down here, at this point you can do so. I'm going to move up to the
top of my piece of paper now. And because this
bear is surfing, I'd like to make a small
son here at the top. I'm going to make a circle. Then I'm going to
make some rays. Going around that circle. There are different ways
that you can make rays. You can just make lines
coming out if you'd like. Or you can make triangles. I've done that before. It's up to you. I think I'll even put little
Smiley face inside my son. So upside-down, u's like this. And then maybe a
very small smile. If you'd like to add anything
else to your artwork. Now's the time to do that. You can add some
clouds or a bird, anything that you'd like
to add into the sky. You can do that at this point. After you're finished drawing. Take the cap off of the back of your marker, put it back on. Your marker, doesn't dry out. And in the next step, we will add some
watercolor paints. In this step we're going to
add some watercolor paints. So let's get started. The first thing
that we'll want to do is prepare our paints. So we're going to add a drop or two of water to
each pan of paint. And what that will do
is it will soften up our paints and that will make
our paints easier to use. So I really do like
to take that step. Now that our paints
or softening up, Let's turn our attention
to our drawing. So I am going to
paint my bear brown. I'm going to paint
the water blue, the sky blue as well. The sun maybe maybe yellow or
maybe an orange-ish color. The trunks on the bear. I'm not quite sure
what color I'm going to paint those yet. And the surf board, I'm not sure either. So what I'm going to
do is I'm going to remind you that because
this is your artwork, you get to choose the colors
that you'd like. Alrighty. So I am going to start
by painting some cheeks, some pink cheeks on my bear. Because I like that
luck where you see a cartoon animal and you
see those pink cheeks. So I'm going to make some
circles for my pink cheeks. And I'm also going to paint
the inside of the ears pink as well. There we go. Now I'm going to
show you a trick. So I want to lighten up the
pink on the little cheeks. So I'm going to hover over my pink cheeks with the
handy-dandy paper towel. And I'm going to soak
up some of that color. So the color gets a
little bit lighter. See how that works. So if you ever see
an area where you think has a little bit
too much extra paint? You can just soak that up
with your paper towel. Now that I have my pink, I think I'll move
to my yellow sun. Move to my yellow sun because I would like to
paint that yellow. I am going to try to
stay inside the lines, but I'm not going to
worry about it too much. If I do go outside of the lines. There we go. Now what I'm going to do is I'm
just going to move on to my bear and my surf board. So I'm going to
choose some brown. And I'd like my bear to be not a really,
really dark brown. But not a really, really light brown either, maybe a medium brown. Yes, that's perfect. So I added a little bit of water along with a
little bit of paint. And I mixed it inside
of my pan right here. And I came up with a certain
perfect shade of brown. Alrighty friends, I'm
finished painting the bear and a
surfboard and the sun. I did paint this
little nose area of the bear a really,
really light brown. You might think that it's
white because it's so light. But I just added a
really large amount of water to my brown paint and it turned into
a very light brown. I'm going to wait until the end to paint my nose
because I want it to be a gray color and I
usually use the black last. The black. I usually make
the gray with the black. When we come back, we will be painting
the background. In this step, we are going
to paint the background. So let's get started. I'm going to paint the waves
and the water a dark blue. And I'm going to paint
this guy a lighter blue. I'm going to start
with the waves because I want to
show you something. I want a little bit of white to be on the tips of these waves. So I'm going to put
some of this dark blue inside one of my wells. And when I paint, I'm not going to go all
the way to the end of those lines because I want to leave a little bit
of whitespace. So it looks like a little
bit of froth on those waves. Do you see how I did that? So I like that look, so I wanted to do that. And I will also do that
on this wave as well. So I'll leave a little bit
of white there at the tip. So it looks like a
little bit of froth on. Those waves, I'm going to
paint everything else blue. Down here at the bottom. Maybe a little blue right
here and right here. So what I'm going to
do is I'm going to speed up this video. Then you can watch me. And I'll see you back
here in just a minute. Alrighty friends. I'm finished painting
the background and I really am happy with it. I decided to paint
these two little drops blue and then leave
these two drops white. I think it looks awesome. I also decided to leave
this stripe right here white and the stripes on the
swim trunks white as well. The last thing that
I'm going to do is paint that little nose gray. To make gray. You take a little tiny bit
of black and a lot of water. And you will be able
to make a gray. You have to be very careful
when you're filling in the space because
it can take over. Let's see, do you see
what's happening right now? Taking over that space. So you take your
handy-dandy paper towel and you just lift up that color. And because it didn't have
a lot of paint in it, it lifted up very, very well. Now I can go back and I
can add some more black. I'm going to be very careful
this time adding that black. It's actually a gray because
it has a lot of water in it. There we go. And if I want to take up some of that paint because it has
a lot of water in it. I just hover over
with my paper towel. If I still feel like it's
not quite dark enough, let me show you another trick. You can take off some of the water with your
handy-dandy paper towel. You just wipe your paintbrush
onto your paper towel. And then it will get
most of the water off. And then you can try again. Sometimes it takes more than
one attempt to get it right. And that even happens to me, even though I've been painting
since I've been a child, sometimes I want to do things
over again and that's okay. All right, friends,
I hope that you had a lot of fun with this project. I will see you next time.
