1. Popsicles Intro: Hello and welcome to this class. My name is Hayley, and today we are
going to be painting these delicious and
beautiful popsicles. I will be guiding you through the whole process without
a sketch in there. But you can still, at the end of the class
to be able to paint. And then I am showing
you in the class, I can't wait to see
your creations and I hope to join me
for this class. In the class, we're going to be creating our own color channels, focusing on vibrant, summery
colors, like the popsicles. Remember that you can follow
me here on Skillshare so you don't miss any nucleus
a bike share with you. Let's begin. I will see
you in the next video.
2. Popsicles: 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. We need a clean towel. As always. Round brushes, clean water, a little bit
of salt to create texture. And watercolors. I suggest that you choose very bright and
happy summery colors to paint your popsicles. So I will see you
in the next video.
3. Watercolor Chart: It is time to playing with
our watercolors colors and then choose them to popsicles. And here I will be playing with other colors 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
ordered color chart, you will interact with watercolors and see
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 in all
the summery vibes. I will try to choose all the beautiful vibrant
colors to paint my popsicles. And you will see that this
is a really fun activity. That it will bring
you meditative state. Then your intuition and
your creativity will flow while you are just
playing with the colors. When you feel uninspired, just take your watercolors and start painting in a clean page. And you will see how the
ideas will flow into your consciousness and you will feel inspired to create
something beautiful, just blazing with watercolors. This is a activity that every artist needs 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 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, because watercolors are really a magic
medium to work with. And sometimes they half lives on themselves and
they make beautiful fin, final pieces that you didn't expect them
to turn that way. Then just blending 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. Popsicles 1: How to paint them: All right, It is time to
start painting our popsicles. I have here my round brush. And if you can
paint a rectangle, then you are set for this
beautiful painting where we are going to be painting
popsicles, pattern. I will start by tracing very
lightly with my first color, which is pink, a rectangle. Just tracing the lines. And then we can proceed to add the color inside the rectangle. Like this. Just with water. We are we going to be painting using the
technique wet on dry. And starting with
the first legged, very, very light in color. Whichever color to use, please just make it very light. Then you will start adding more layers to make it
pop with the color. You will see how
beautiful this turnout. Try to start then adding
a little bit more of pigment on the edges to create
a deepness in the paint. And then water to dilute and move your color
around the rectangle. We are going to be
painting the letters without letting the
painting completely dry. We are going to be adding pigment and adding
water in them, moving the color and then picking a color again and adding color until we see that the change that
we want to create is, I want to create a very
bright pink because this is a strawberry or raspberry, because they are
my favorite colors or flavors in popsicles. Very gentle and very conscious about your
movement with your brush. So now that I see the
color is really pretty, I will start painting
this thick using brown. And I will do the
same thing with a very light shade of my brown. I will paint the
stick of my popsicle, not touching the color of my popsicle because
this is still wet. Now, this dry and you
can see the difference in pigment is a
more bright color. And I will start with
my second popsicle, doing the same with
a very light color. In this case, is it
yellow because it is a Mongo strawberry popsicle? And I will trace using my
brush, doing the lines, tracing the line and then just covering the whole
surface of my rectangle. Using what I want this, I wanted this to be
very light because then I will mix this with another color
which is an asset. And then they will mix together. And do, We'll see how beautiful and delicious
they will do an out. I can just reshape
me my rectangle. So it looks like
a real popsicle. Now, I think in my brush and picking up the next color
which is red and adding, eating some places
with a lot of water. So the color line. And with the other color that
I have in my paper ready. Now I will use a little bit of salt to create a
little bit of texture. If you know my other
class about texture, I guess blend AID defining
beautiful techniques where you can learn how to
create the extra intubating. You can check it out in the
about section for this class. Now, I am painting the steak
and I will let this dry.
5. Popsicles 2: Creating the Pattern: Let's continue with
our Popsicle pattern. And now we are taking in
the color green because our next toxicant
is a key we flavor. And we are going to
proceed the same way. Very light in green. And we start to
paint a rectangle. How easy it is this, this flavor popsicle
written out very delicious. Recovered then the
rectangle inside with a very light getting in, we reshape the rectangle
using the same check. Then we start to add
little touches of pigment. And the reshaping our rectangle
is always a good thing. This is the magic of watercolor. You can shape before
you finish your pieces. Adding more pigment on the edges and then moving either
with your brush. If you're using round brushes, is very convenient
because this type of brushes retain more
illiquid on them. So it is easier to move your watercolor and
to reactivate if they add a little bit that I
do this until you feel your popsicle looks
amazing and delicious. And shape rectangle as you
see they need it. Now. I feel like it is complete. So I will add this
thick, very light. And then a little
bit of pigment. We are going to be
doing this later. So don't worry, if this
looks a little bit pale, it will have more colors later when we add
the other layers. Or 3 first popsicles are. So we will continue
with the next one using a aquamarine color here. And I don't know
what flavor disease, we can call it blueberries. And then I will mix it with the pink to
give a little bit of contrast and to make it a little bit of
violet, we'll see. Now we will add a pink from the bottom to the
upper side of our painting. And then we will try to
mix these two colors. You can do your creativity to go wild and use the colors that you prefer or the flavor that
you prefer for popsicles. So they look like your likings. I think a little bit
more of pigment on the edges and on those places
that I think it needs. And using a reasonable
quantity of water. So my colors mix together. For now they look a
little bit like a mess, but you will see
when they are dry, the two colors we're, makes very nice together. Now you can have
a better look of our blueberry gain of popsicle. I can't wait to see what kind of popsicles you are going to be painting in sharing with us? Yeah. Now I'm
painting this thick. Remember, don't touch
the popsicle body when it is dry because
then the color will mix. Now I will be adding
a little bit. The second layer on the other sticks
because they are dry. So I can bring it
together to my popsicle. As you can see here. You can add as many
layers as you wish. So the color looks like
you want it to look. The stakes are always
like a pale brown.
6. Popsicle 3: Adding Dripping Effects: At this point, or
salt is already dry, or painting is already dry. So I will remove the
salt very carefully. You can see those
beautiful blends between the mango and the strawberry
flavor on my popsicle. And now it's time to add
some details to make this popsicle a little bit
more appealing and beautiful. I will paint son lines
using the same shade or a little bit darker that the
popsicle flavor or color. Like this. I will paint lines, you know, how the popsicle
looks like in real life. So I will try to imitate
it the same for them. In this case,
adding this line in the center of the
popsicle using my brush. The smallest one I
have, and the paint. Adding two lines, do not
how a popsicle looks like. So we're trying to do the same. This is a little bit trying
to recreate a real popsicle. Using my paint, my watercolor
paint in my brush. We showed a color
that you are using. You just need to do the same process using
the color that you have. And we're going to be doing the same with all our popsicles. So they look like the reappears popsicles shape the lines so they look
cohesive and harmonious. This is the best part of using watercolors and then with
a little bit of water, go through the lines again. So the colors mix well
with are already dry. Popsicle behind it. Go gentle, beriberi chain. No need to rush. I will
do this until I see that my lines look cohesive
and then I will let this dry. Adding more water, of course. And you can see how
the color move. And it doesn't matter if the color mix or expand integers. You can always wait
for it to dry. And then correct if
it isn't needed. I went to add some
little torture source, Parker, with my brush. So it looks like
the popsicle had some pieces from the fruit, from the Raspberry here. And I'm just moving
the watercolor around. You will see how cute and how beautiful this effect
turned out when it is dry. I just, I'm just moving the water color with my brush
in water as you can see. And then just going through
all the lines again. Trying to define those
lines with a watercolor. This is the idea here. When a popsicles go out from the freezer
and then they melt, and then they go again
in the freezer and then they are frozen again. This is the look
Diane looking for. So let's go to next Popsicle, which is the mango
in a strawberry. And I will do the lines
again using my darker color, in this case, that red one diluted a little bit with water. And then using here
the other brush. Because I want them all to
what more water in my brush. I will also combine this with
the jello watercolor to get a more cohesive nas on the
colors that I'm using. I changing my brush
and proceed with my yellow color in the
upper side of my popsicle. As you can see. This is another beautiful and
delicious popsicles flavor. And I am really loving
how they are looking. Again, I can't wait to
see what you create and how you play with the colors and what kind of flavors do like when you upload your class
project in this section. For the class project
for this class. Let me know which one is your favorite flavor
for popsicles. Okay, Let's do the same with
our blueberry ice cream. In just mixing a little bit
the colors to get a purple j. So I can paint my lines and create the
popsicle appearance. As easy as you see. This is. And then add some touches
of the color that we use to make it more dark kid. Just go with the
flow and try to keep as your work cohesive
and beautiful. No need to rush again. Now, let's do the same
with our kiwi popsicle. Notice that the young here using a darker shade of green.
So it's the same game. So diluted by the
popsicle itself. Because I want
these lines to pop. Moving the color and
creating the lines. For these popsicle,
we are going to be creating the effect of the seeds from the
kiwi in just a moment. When I finish it
the center lines, then we will proceed to
create it, the seeds. And this is how we are
going to be doing. I will cover my other popsicles with some scrap
paper that I have, just white paper that
I have here, my desk. So they don't get a n. I will just pick it up with my flat brush in a bamboo stick. Their green color,
not so dilute it. And then I would make
our little trip and then go around my popsicle, the kiwi popsicle,
creating the little seeds. How can you do this?
7. Popsicles Last Details: Okay, let's add the last
details on everyone of my popsicles and then see how my composition here with this popsicle pattern
is looking like. And then I just add more details around this
beautiful painting. I then using my brush to make shadows on the lines
inside the popsicle. So they pop up. And I have another idea for this beautiful popsicle,
raspberry popsicle. We're going to get
that idea further. In the class. We'll see
how it will be software. Now I am just adding x1 though, chest with color on
the edges to make a little bit of shadow
on my popsicle. Now, we're going to finish it, the sticks from the popsicles, bringing it to a
more realistic look and making them china. As they dodge. The popsicle itself. Just adding another
layer with a brown to make the contrast in the shadows on the sticks from my popsicles. So now I will show
you the idea that I have for this dress,
a berry, PepsiCo. And you will love it. We are going to be
adding some effects for these Popsicle because they will make it this
particle a look so refreshing that it will always
inviting to look into it. Maybe this is how we
are going to be doing. I will add the sun that drops, the drops of color
with my wet brush. And then we are going to be
blowing n with a stroke. I teach this technique or my class for
watercolor texture. You can go to that glass and see more in detail
how this works. But for now, I will just blow up on this right side
from my popsicle. And adjusting the colors. Here, I just turn
over the page so I can blow up on the near this. How cool is that? Now I would be finished. These other popsicle
add in a little bit more of color sides so it looks more natural like a
real positive popsicle. And then with my
button, my brush, I will just move
the color around, creating a little bit of shade. On this popsicle. Use water if you need it. And do more for the color. This is the muscle my
painting with watercolors, you can move the color, whatever you want,
even if they are dry, to just wet your brush and
move those colors around. What we're doing here
is adding more pigment, like a second layer on this popsicle to make them
a little bit more colorful. My paper is wet because I was going through
with my brush with water. So this, this drops
here and adding, reacting to that
water on the paper. And creating here a
little bit of shadows. The lines on the center
line of my PepsiCo. Now with my wet brush, I would move the color
a little bit more. So the color mix on the paper. Now I'm just
adjusting my pattern. I will add some little
more tortuous a half SDK, and then a half of a
popsicle on the left side. Now I will add a half popsicle. On this side. This will be a pineapple
popsicle on the inside. And then I will add
another a little bit of orange flavor or color to
make this blend together. Yes, I didn't just
shaping my popsicle here with my brush in water and a little
bit of watercolor. Now I will be using
this cabinet, jello, that can be atheists. And then I will
add the orange to make it more vibrant and
for them to mix together. My painting is still wet. So the color will run M mix with the color that I already have on my paper,
which is Jell-O. Made the colored dance
together may become one. Add more water if you need it. And try to leave some jello
spaces on your painting. Now I will need to let this new popsicle dry before
I add the center lines. Because if I add it now, we will be unable to see them. So now my my new
popsicle is dry. I will add the center lines
with the orange color. Here in the center, I'm painting the center
lines with a orange chain. So they make the contrast
with the popsicle. At first, you don't
need to make it so that you can start with a lighter shade and then add
more pigment if you need it. They are looking so delicious
and pretty and colorful. I now want to eat a popsicle. How about you? It is tempting. Finishing the last
touches on this popsicle. And we are going to
vary with our painting. I can't wait to see
what you create freely. Upload your work. The class project
Accenture for this class. And look at this. This is our final painting or popsicles pattern that
you can use as a card, invitation cards, greeting scar, happy birthday card
for the summer kids. And they will bring a smile to the phase of the people that
are receiving this. Now, I will see you
in the next video.
8. Class Project: Now we have come to the
fun part of the class, creating your class project. And for that, it is very easy. Just share with us in the class project
section for this class. Your materials work in
progress to final pieces are your ideas to make it this popsicle more
beautiful and vibrant. I can't wait to see
