And you can also join me in my classes here on skill share in. I am sure you will enjoy them. I will see you in the next video. 2. Watercolor Ice Cream The Supplies: Let's take a look at the splice that we are going to be using during this class. We need watercolor paper. I am using ash. This is a very good quality watercolor paper. You can use whatever you have at hand to round brushes. We need a clean towel. As always. Clean water. In watercolors, I suggest you choose very bright and happy summery colors to paint as your ice cream. So I will say during the next video. 3. Ice Cream Watercolor Chart: Let's create our watercolor chart so we can choose the color for our ice cream. And here I will be playing with other colors that I have in mind to use during the paintings. You can choose all the bright and beautiful colors that you want and played with me creating your own watercolor charts. This is a very important part in creating your art pieces. Because when you create your color palette altered colored chart, you will interact with watercolors and say how they react, how intense, or how light you can play with this color. And then choose the shape that you really want to express. Injured painting. We're bringing here on the summary pipes. So I will try to choose all the beautiful vibrant colors to paint. And you will see that this is a very fun activity. That it will bring you the meditative state. And then your intuition and your creativity will flow while you are just playing with the colors. When you feel uninspired, just because your watercolors and start painting in a clean page. And you will see how the ideas will flow into your consciousness. You will feel inspired to create something beautiful, just blending with watercolors. This is a activity that every artist need to include in their daily practices. Because this will create in your hands and in your mind and in your disposition to create this openness. And then you will be inspired to create something different or something beautiful, or just let a jury creativity flows into the paper. Then you can mix the colors and see how they react together. Add more water or less water, add more pigment. In some places of the painting. See how they react when they are dry or when they are wet still. And then just see the magic of watercolor. Because watercolors are really a magic medium to work with. And sometimes they have lives on themselves and they make beautiful fin, final pieces that they didn't expect them to turn them the way. I didn't just pledging with my colors that I am seeing job. Very nice combinations that I will want to try. And please do the same. I will let this dry and then I will see you in the next period. 4. Watercolor Ice Cream: Painting the Cones: All right, It's moment to start creating or ice cream in accounts. And my idea is to paint two ice creams in a cone. Like they are touching each other. And we're going to start by painting the cones, how we do it. If you can paint a triangle, then do our set for this class. So I start painting your goal with your watercolor in a very light brown. So we can create the triangle shape. And then we are just placing or cones. So we can have an idea on how or painting will look like. I'm placing them like they are touching each other, like saying cheers. And this is the idea that I have, but you can paint in another position if you prefer. Now I will start coloring with the watercolor in a very light tone of burn down. The center of the triangle. This is the first layer. We are going to be working with a technique wet on dry as to us, as you can see, and just filling up or triangles with a very light shade of brown or ocher. Brown. And I will do the same with my second triangle. I will be painting them simultaneously because the processes in layers, so we have the color's getting dryer at the same time. So I am painting the cones brown, but nowadays, the cones or evolve and you can find goals in different flavors, like strawberries or pistachios or with some sprinkles. These sugar sprinkles do name it. There are many, many options nowadays. So I then painting the classical cones that we know from from all the times. But you can get wild and use another color for your cones. And use the same process as I've been teaching do here. These processes in ledgers. So I let these dry and now we will apply the second layer using a more darker brown and start shaping the squares on my triangle or cone. And this is another layer process. I will start painting those little squares with my darker brown. It is a little with my painting. And that is why in my colors are reacting. But don't worry, this is a ledger process and this is good. I will try to add the layers and making some, some spaces darker. So we started to get the look of a cone. We're going to keep adding layers and layers. And then we are going to be shaping or squares more visually. It is good. Is it as good idea that the fears and second leisure or dry before you start shaping your squares inside the triangle. So I will proceed painting in those more tapered squares, as you can see, leaving a little bit of a space between them. So we get the Luke little by little. The cones are really fun invention for eating ice cream. And malicious, Of course. So keep adding squares, living spaces between them. So you get the look. Then we are going to be a certain thing with the second column of a squared. And then when they add a little bit dry, we will add another layer on top. So the colors get that. And we get the cone. Look like they're cooked. Betty, well, in crunchy. I do use a brush at the die. So the color of your watercolors doesn't dilute. And as I told you, when the triangles are dry is better to make the squares because the color will stay on the paper and don't dilute. But if you have what the chorus is still a little bit wet it Judas, add another layer and another layer, and the color will be more vibrant. Don't worry, you can always correct. And I'd asked, you bring when you are using watercolors. Sadly, weekend won't do. But we can correct. This is very satisfying when we can do that. Take your time. As always, don't rush. Enjoy the process. And as you are painting cones and you're waiting, go to the window and look outside or God outside. And then you come back and continue painting your cones, letting them dry. It doesn't need to be done in five minutes. You can start a painting today and finish it by three days later, or five hours later. They take your time and you will see that your colors will be more beautiful In the final results will be much more beautiful. Now, I didn't do this fault line that the cones have. The more traditional cones have to emulate this line with my brown. So we have our traditional cone for the ice cream. And I don't want just wondering which flavor. We'll just choose what these cones, the most favorite color, the most favorite flavored ice cream is said it is bunnies. And the second one is chocolate. But I, I don't, I get it with it. My favorite flavors for ice cream, Strawberry, and the more fruity ones. Not too much chocolate. But I know, I know most people of chocolates. I will not discuss that. So I will let this dry and I will see you in the next video. 5. Ice Cream Balls Flavor: Now it's time to select or flavors for the ice cream. And I select it pink and blue for the colors, meaning raspberry and bubble gum for the blue. And we're going to start painting these. And using that technique. Wet on dry and wet my brush with my round brush. I will start painting on the, on the paper, just touching the paper and leaving some white spaces. This is the first layer. The worry, it will be more darker. But by the end, we are going to be adding pigment on some places. But to just touch the paper, leaving those white spaces. Clean your brush and start painting the second, the second color tissues I am. They start painting with the blue or the cover turkeys in, IN touching the fears. Ice cream bowl. Because remember my DAs, they are like making cheers. And then the two ice creams at DOE and the color will be mixing than selves. Add the second color and use the same technique, just touching the paper with your wet color brush and leaving some white spaces. Try to have your brush very damper in water. So the color runs freely on your paper. At pigment on those places and shape your balls, your ice cream balls. As you are painting your ice cream. I'm cleaning my brush to use the pink IN, adding some touches of colors here and there to make it pop. My painting is still wet. It's not completely dry. And you start to see the mixing of the color. Now I will be taped my ice cream, having my brush almost dry. So the color is more deep. And now that my painting is completely dry, I will add the second layer. In this case, the bubblegum flavored ice cream. And you can see the color stays more vibrant on the paper. I ended up shaping the ice cream bar. So it looks more like they are melting or something. This is a hot summer. So ice cream we met. Now I will proceed with the other color, the raspberry color. And I will do the same. Adding some, shaping my ice cream and some color to make it pop, pop. The module, wait for the painting to dry them more. The second or the ledger. More pigment will have remembered those white spaces are very important because they are the reflection of the light and, or ice cream or the frozen in this case. So keep in mind that those white spaces must be there. They look like clouds by now. Really like the ice creams. Okay. I will let this dry and now it is dried medic of the camera. And now I will add some sprinkles on the painting to make a little bit of contrast. When we use the two colors, the pink and the Turkey's. What? Turquoise. And picking up the color and doing some little splashes onto the paper. Then I will let this dry completely. And you can see it is looking really cute and delicious. Now I have this idea of the melting ice between the two. Let's start with the pink. And I will lift my paper and just trace a line. My brush is wet and you can see that the color is running. I will let this dry a little bit before adding the second the second line with the other color. Now I would proceed with my second color. It doesn't matter if the color is is mixing because when they are melting, it doesn't matter. And I will do the same over to this because then it will look a little bit messy. Lifting the paper so the drops dripping. And then I will let this dry. This is it. Or beautiful ice cream in a cone is a red. And I can't wait to see what you create, which flavor you choose for their painting and deposition for your cones. I will see you in the next video. 6.
