Bottle Art With Mix Media - Learn to Create an Artwork With Easy Steps

1. Welcome to the Class: When I started exploring art, I always knew that I love to explore different art mediums and styles. Mixed media is an art style in which we combine different art mediums to form a beautiful artwork. It's not at all difficult to produce an artwork using simple techniques and methods. Heyy buddy, you're most welcome to my new class myself for Patel, I'm a self taught independent artist and an interior designer by profession. In this class, we are going to create a beautiful artwork which includes a little bit of wash painting, some mixed media, and a beautiful bottle art. As someone who's very much passionate about teaching, my major focus is always to create classes for beginners who are trying to develop their skills on a regular basis. I personally love to explore different art mediums and not to stick to one particular thing. If you join me, you'll find a variety of classes that I create. We're going to start by learning about the details of the class project that we're going to create. You can easily replace the coaster and change the guash painting according to your mood. We're going to talk about all the art supplies in detail. No need to worry at all in case you're missing out on any particular art supply. You'll find it very easily in any nearby local arts too. We're going to talk about the color palette that we're going to use is going to be a nice study about the object that we are going to use. We're going to apply a beautiful acrylic color to the entire bottle to create a beautiful base before starting with the gouache painting. Before starting with the gouache painting, we are going to have a beautiful practice session. We are going to learn about all the elements and how to paint them in detail. The practice sheet will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be ariess. The guash painting is going to be minimal and elegant. We're going to start by applying a beautiful gradient effect using easy and simple techniques. We are going to paint a beautiful water body. There are going to be sellouts, which creates a beautiful contrast with the background color allover. It's going to be a very simple and easy technique of combining all the elements together to form a beautiful scenery. The class is absolutely suited for all level artists. It will definitely ignite it. Throughout the class, you will learn how to combine different art mediums together and turn your simple bottle to an extraordinary artwork. I'm super excited to share this class with all of you as it is going to be a combination of painting and some beautiful craft work together without any delay. Grab your art supplies. Join me on this creative journey. Let's get started with the class. 2. Details About the Class Project: Hey buddy. Now let me give you all the details about the class project that we're going to create. I have placed all the elements of the class project on the desk. You can observe we have a beautiful bottle and there is a simple guache coaster placed just on the bottle. The coaster is basically attached with the bottle by using a simple magnet. If you can observe carefully, the coaster will be easily detached from the bottle. I have placed one simple magnet onto the bottle, and another piece of the magnet is going to be on the back side of the coaster. It's basically a very simple and easy technique of applying this magnet so that you can simply detach the coaster from the bottle and you can change the wash painting according to your mood and convenience. On the bottle, I have applied a nice coat of acrylic paint and you can observe it's a beautiful sap green color. Similarly, we're going to apply the magnets on the back side of the two coasters that we're going to paint. The reason behind applying an acrylic color to the bottle is because the bottle is going to have a glass surface and you do not want your color to leave the bottle surface. That's why I have used acrylic color onto the glass bottle. Now for the coasters, we are going to use simple guash colors. With these beautiful, vibrant color palette, you can observe how beautifully I have just changed the coaster on the bottle. Similarly, you can take the last one and you can attach it with the bottle. The magnet basically helps us to detach the coasters easily from the bottle and change it according to our convenience. I have used a simple watercolor paper to enhance the coaster, and I have just made a nice cut using a pattern scissor. It basically creates a nice zigzag effect on the circumference of the entire coaster. This is our entire class project that we are going to create. No need to worry at all. We are just simply going to combine these minimal elements together and form these beautiful sceneries onto the coasters all over. It's going to be a very fun and creative session in which we are going to convert a simple bottle into a beautiful artwork using mixed media. Now let us move towards the next part. 3. Art Supplies: Hey buddy. Now let us talk about all the art supplies that you will need for the entire class. No need to worry at all in case you're missing out on any particular art supply. You will find it very easily in any nearby local art store or you can go for any other good alternative as well. The first art supply is a simple cap of a spray bottle. It is basically not an art supply, it's just for a support that we're going to use. We're going to use this particular cap to get certain height. While we are painting, I'll be just using a masking tape and we are going to paste the coaster on the cap so that we can paint easily in a comfortable manner. In case you do not have a cap, that is absolutely fine. You can place the coaster on the desk surface as well. Now these are MDF coasters, which are basically medium density fiberboard. The diameter of the coaster is basically 4 ". For this particular artwork, you will need three coasters. Then the next art supply is a simple masking tape. We are going to use this particular masking tape to place the coaster onto the cap so that we can paint in a nice, comfortable manner. The next up I have a simple acrylic color that we are going to use to paint the bottle. The color that I'm using is sap green. In case you want to go for any other good alternative that is completely fine. You can definitely choose another darker shade as well, since the bottle is going to have a glass surface, that's why we're going to use an acrylic color. It would be really durable and your color will not get off the bottle surface easily. Then next up, I have these little magnets. As you can observe, these are circular magnets that you'll get very easily in any nearby local art store. We are going to place these little magnets on the coaster and the bottle as well, so that we can just place them and detach them easily. All right. Then I have the next art supply which is a Feb quick basically a quick glue that you can find very easily in any nearby local art store. It's a very quick drying glue. Then similarly we have a Fevicol that is also a slow drying glue. You can use any of the two. Then next up, I have a simple cup of water in which you can observe there is some clear water which we are going to use while we are painting a guash painting. Basically, it will help us to clean the brushes quickly. Then a simple pencil, wherever there is any reference sketch required. Though there is very less sketching required in this particular class project. Now let us talk about the most important art supply, which is the brushes that we are going to use. The first one is a round brush of size zero. Then the second one is a round brush of size three. Then we are going to use two flat brushes, one is of size seven, Then the last one which is of size nine. These are all the four brushes that you will need for the entire class project. Then next up, I have a simple tissue paper which we are going to use to dab the brushes to remove axis amount of water. Now comes the main art supply, which is a simple glass bottle. You can observe the shape of this particular glass bottle. It's a very near to an oval shape, but it is also having some nice flat surface on the topmost area. You can observe this is how you have to select a beautiful bottle. And it is absolutely fine. If you do not have a same bottle, you can go for any other good alternative. And this is how we are going to place the coaster. You can find this type of glass bottle in any nearby local store. You just have to make sure that you have enough surface to place a coaster on the topmost portion. Then next up, we have two colors, which is basically black and white. Neutral colors, basically these are basically Gah colors that we are going to use. I was basically missing out on G tubes for black and white, that's why I'm using Gh tubs. But you can definitely use any good alternative as well. Now let me give you all the details about the colors, which are basically gache colors that we are going to use. Don't worry about the exact shade you can go for any other good alternative as well. The first one is Vermilion. Then I have crimson move, cyline blue, violet, and rose. Now comes the next art supply, which is a simple ceramic color palette. You can go for any other good alternative as well. This is just a palette which is having enough surface area to take out multiple colors in it. So just make sure that you use a good color palette, which is having enough area. Then I have another poster color which is basically olive green. We're going to use this particular color to apply this nice texture in this black sill out to create some grass effect. Now, this particular art supply is a very creative art supply. It's a pattern scissor, you can simply observe the blades of the pattern scissor. This basically gives a nice zigzag pattern to the paper that we are going to apply on the back portion of the coaster. No need to worry at all in case you're missing out on a pattern scissor. You can definitely use a simple plain scissor as well, or you can directly place your painted coaster onto the bottle surface. So these are all the art supplies that you will need. Now let us move towards the next part. 4. Color Palette: Everybody. Now let us understand the color palette before starting with the class projects, I'm basically going to use a simple six size watercolor paper. I have simply labeled all the colors on the watercolor paper. Now simply we're going to just apply the color onto the watercolor paper starting from Vermilion, This color is basically very near to orange. You can definitely use that as a good alternative as well. Just simply make a good composition of water and color together in the color palette and apply a little patch. Now the second color is crimson. I was already having all the colors in my color palette. I'm just loosening them up using some water. So I just made a good composition of water and color together and apply these two patches. Now the reason behind doing this particular step is so that you can get an exact idea of the application of the color onto the watercolor paper. It is going to be similar for the coasters as well. In case you're using a coaster or a watercolor paper, it is absolutely fine. I have applied another color which is move. This particular color is very near to violet. You can go for any other good alternative as well. Then I'll be just cleaning my flat brush again and make a good composition of ceruline blue. No need to hurry at all. Try to mix the color well with water. Again, I'll be applying these little two patches just above the labeling. Now we are left with two colors, which is violet and rose. I'll be just taking a little bit of violet in the color palette because it is finished and some rose as well. You can simply clean your flat brush and just take a little bit of water to loosen the color up. And repeat the same process of applying these little two patches so that you can get an exact idea of the color application onto the watercolor paper. This particular step helps us a lot to understand the colors and you can definitely combine the colors according to your convenience to create a beautiful composition of a gradient background. Apart from the coasters that are placed on the left hand side, it is not at all compulsory to have the same composition. But you can relate it with the color palette that I have created right now. Whenever we start any particular class project, it is very important for all of you to understand the color palette initially. Now we have an additional color which is going to be olive green. This is basically a poster color. It is absolutely fine. If you use a poster color or a guash color, this will definitely give you a nice matt finish, very similar to gash color. So you can observe the application of this particular color. We're going to create some nice texture using this particular color. I hope that you got an exact idea of the color palette. Now let us move towards the next part. 5. Understanding the Object: Everybody. Now let us understand the object that we are going to use. Definitely the object is going to be a simple bottle. You can observe a very beautiful glass bottle in front of you. The shape of the glass bottle is very near to an oval shape, but you can observe a beautiful flat surface on both the sides. Before you select the object for painting, whatever it might be, a bottle or any object that you like, just try to make sure that it has enough flat surface where you can place your Ge painting, which is going to be on the coaster. I'll just show you that as well. You just place your object on the desk surface, which is basically my glass bottle. We're going to apply this beautiful acrylic color, which is going to be sap green on the entire surface of the bottle. Now once we are done applying the entire base color, we are going to use the coaster on which we are going to paint some beautiful gash sceneries. To apply the acrylic color, we are going to use our flatbrush of size nine. Here is the circular coaster of diameter 4 ". Now on the object you can carefully observe, This is how we are going to place the coaster. That's why you have to select a beautiful bottle or the object having enough surface area in case you do not want to paint a bottle. You can definitely go for the coasters and take up that as a class project, it is completely fine. 6. Painting the Bottle: Everybody, now let us paint the bottle, which is going to be the first step for starting the entire class project. The color that we are going to use is Sap green, which is basically an acrylic color. Just simply place your bottle on the desk surface and make sure that you can paint in a comfortable manner. I'll be using my flat brush of size nine and I have taken some good amount of sap green color. There is no requirement of water, since we want to get a nice solid coat of the entire color, this is going to be the first. Then we are also going to apply another coat on the entire surface. You can simply observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple vertical movement. Slowly, we are trying to cover the entire surface. It's basically a very satisfying part of applying this beautiful color to the entire surface. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner in case you find that your color is getting finished. From the brush, you can definitely take some more color in the brush. You can carefully observe that we have almost covered the entire area of the bottle. There is a little bit of space which is not having that great opacity. Let the first coat of the entire surface dry for a while, and then we are going to apply another coat on the same surface. Also, make sure that there is no space left on the entire surface of the bottle. Definitely try to paint in a slow and steady manner. Now, simply wait for a while for the first coat to dry. Now once the entire coat is completely dry, we're going to apply another coat on the same surface. Take some good amount of save green color and we'll be using our same brush of size nine, which is basically a flat brush. And we're going to apply another coat on the entire bottle surface. The reason behind applying another on the same surface is so that we can get a nice opacity of a solid sap green color. Once the entire color is dried, you'll get a beautiful finish. We are almost done applying another coat of sap green color as well. Now I will let it dry for a while again. Now let the second coat also dry for a while. Once the second coat dries, we're going to apply the same color on the other side of the bottle as well. You can observe the glass surface on the other side as well. We are going to use the same sap green color. And I'll be using my flat brush of size nine. And we're going to apply a nice coat of sap green on the other side of the bottle as well. You can simply observe a beautiful vertical movement of my brush in the bottom part. You can just apply some simple horizontal strokes, but it would be really better if you apply the flat brush in the same direction. It is basically a vertical movement only. Similarly, we have applied one coat on the other side of the bottle. We will let it dry for a while. Now once the first coat dyes, again we are going to apply another coat. Now let me tell you one thing that I have decided to take a safe green color on the entire surface of the bottle. You can definitely select any other acrylic color that you like. It is absolutely fine. It is not at all compulsory to use the same color. Now, we will let the second coat also dry, give some good amount of time for the entire bottle to dry. And now you can observe that the entire surface is looking beautiful. We have covered the entire glass surface and it gives a nice sap, green color finish. You can definitely show your creativity by creating any other texture or selecting any other color as well. This is how we are going to place our beautiful gauche coaster. I'll just show you the position. As you can observe, we are done applying a beautiful coat of acrylic color on the entire glass bottle. I hope that you got an exact idea of painting the bottle. Now let us move towards the next part. 7. Lets Practice the Elements: Hey buddy. Before we start painting the coasters, let us learn about all the elements and how to paint them in detail. I'm basically going to use a simple watercolor paper of size six and it is basically 300 GSM in case you want to go for any other good alternative, like an art journal in which you practice on a regular basis, or even a rough scrap of paper. That is absolutely fine. We're going to start by learning how to paint a beautiful gradient effect. Now I'll be using my masking tape and we're going to apply it on the borders of the watercolor paper. We're only going to apply it on the half portion of the entire watercolor paper. You can observe, I have applied it on the borders and I'll be just applying the last masking tape. I'm just covering half portion of the entire watercolor paper. Try to dab your finger onto the masking tape so that it gets completely stuck with the watercolor paper. Use a simple pencil to draw a horizon line which suppreds the water body and the sky area. Now in the color palette, I have taken some vermilion. And the second color is going to be crimson red. Since we are going to paint a very small portion, always try to save your resources and take colors in a required amount only. We're going to start by painting the Vermilion. I'm taking my flat brush of size seven. Add a little bit of water into the color palette and try to loosen the color up. Make a good consistency of water and color together. Now we are going to start by applying this horizontal strokes, just above the horizon line. You can observe it's a simple horizontal movement and I'm slowly covering the entire area. We are leaving some white portion on the topmost area because we are going to create a gradient effect now. Similarly, just make a good consistency of water and color together of crimson red. So you can observe in the color palette, I'm mixing the colors well, now start applying it from the topmost portion. Right now, you might be observing a small line of suppression between both the colors. It's a very simple and easy technique to blend them. Just simply take your flat brush, make it completely clean in water. Make it a little bit dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper. And just apply these horizontal strokes in between both the colors. Now you will observe a beautiful blend of both the colors together and it creates a nice gradient effect. I'll be taking some move color in the color palette which is very near to boil it. You can use that as well. Now just simply take your flatbrush of size seven again and just make a good composition of water and color together. Make sure that you have less amount of water and more color. Now, just below the horizon line, use the tip of your flatbrush to paint this color. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. You can observe the simple horizontal movement of my flatbrush. Now, in order to create a nice gradient effect in the water body as well, just take some solid white color by cleaning your flat brush again. And just apply it below the mauve color. And you will observe a nice blend of both the colors together. The more horizontal strokes you apply, the better blend you'll get. Also, make sure that there is no space left between the masking tape and the watercolor paper. We are done applying the base color, which basically creates a nice sky area and the water body. I'll be using my round brush of size zero and I have taken some solid white color in it using some solid white color. You just have to apply these horizontal strokes in the water body area. This basically creates some nice depth and details. These horizontal strokes basically creates a nice wave form in the entire water body. And it makes it look a little bit more aesthetic and elegant. No need to hurry at all, Just try to combine these little horizontal strokes together to make a nice wave effect. Now, once we are done applying the horizontal strokes, we are going to paint some beautiful clouds in the sky area. I'll be using my same round brush of size zero. Take some good amount of solid white color in it and just apply these little horizontal strokes combining together as clouds generally have a very natural and organic shape. There isn't any specific way of painting them. You can just apply the horizontal strokes in a very random and natural way. Right now, you might be seeing that the solid white strokes are very sharp. To make it a little bit more lighter and rough, what you can do is you can just simply clean your round brush and water, add a little bit of water in it, and just reapply it. On the solid white strokes, you will observe that the edges of the entire clouds will get a little bit blur and it will become a little bit smoother. It's a very simple and easy technique. You just have to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Now we are going to paint a beautiful sun, or you can also consider it as a moon. You just have to paint a circular shape in the sky area. You can decide the position according to your convenience. It is absolutely fine. Now let us paint some beautiful landscape area. So I'm going to use my round brush of size zero. Take some solid black color from the color palette, try to make a good composition of color and water together. Make sure that you have less amount of water and more color. That will definitely give you a nice saturation of solid black color. To paint some nice plants in the bottom portion, which is a part of a beautiful landscape, you just have to create these little strokes in a very random and natural way to create a nice outline for the plants. Once you're done creating this beautiful outline for the plants in the bottom portion, we're going to fill in solid black color in the bottom portion to cover the area in a very quick manner. I'll be just shifting from a size zero brush to a size three round brush. Take some good amount of solid black color in it and just make a good composition of color and water together in case you find that your color is getting finished. From the brush, you can take some more color from the color palette. You can observe the way I'm moving my brush. It's a simple vertical movement. Make sure that there is no space left between the masking tape and the watercolor paper. Once we are done painting all the plants in the bottom portion, which is a part of a beautiful landscape, what we can do is we can paint a beautiful tree. So it's a sellout of a tree as you can observe in the coaster. Placed in the left hand portion, I'll be creating the outline of the tree. First, I'll be using my round brush of size zero, make a nice organic outline, combining these little strokes together. Once we are done creating the entire outline, you just have to fill in solid black color in the inner portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. You can definitely explore creating a beautiful shape of the entire tree. Now, similarly, I'll be creating a little bush on the left hand portion as well. We have painted the entire foliage of the tree. Now we are going to connect it with the landscape area in the bottom portion. While doing this particular step, you have to keep a lot of patience and try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Just use the tip of your round brush and connect these little strokes combining together, which basically replicates the roots. I can also call it as tree trunk. You can observe how beautiful the entire sellout looks, and it's a combination of all the elements together. The vibrant colors in the background, the water body, the sellout that we have painted, and the sun. Now, to enhance the entire scenery, I'm just adding a little bit of landscape area on the horizon line. It's a very simple and easy technique. Simply use your round brush of size zero and just create the outline first of a small landscape area. You can combine or you can make a cluster of two to three landscape areas together. You can also create its reflection effect by adding these little horizontal strokes just below that. This is how we are going to create a beautiful scenery using minimal elements together, you can enhance the sun by adding some more solid white color so that it creates a nice contrast with the background. Now just simply remove the masking tape and you can see how beautiful the white edge looks. I hope that you got an exact idea of how we are going to create a beautiful scenery. Now let us practice few sell outs, which is a part of all the coasters. If you observe the coaster right in front of you, there is a nice small house and a beautiful bridge, which is having some nice details in it. No need to worry at all. It's a very simple and easy technique. You will just need some patience and a good control on your hand. I'll be using my round brush of size zero. Take some good amount of solid black color. Start by creating a beautiful fill out of the house. You can observe that I have started it from the topmost portion, creating a nice tower. On the topmost portion, you can create a triangular roof. And then you can fill in this square shape just on the bottom portion. It basically replicates the walls of the entire house. Now to connect the house with some beautiful plants, you can just apply these random strokes, which are basically tiny strokes combining together, forming a beautiful landscape area. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Also, no need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition of the plants as well. You can create your own natural outline. You can simply observe the movement of my round brush. I'm just trying to combine these little strokes together, forming a beautiful natural outline. Also, as you all know that plants generally have a very natural and organic shape, there is no specific way of painting them. Now I'll be just making a outline so that we can get a nice reference for the entire landscape area. Once you're done with the outline, you can fill in solid black color in the inner portion to get a nice coverage for the entire area. I'll be using my round brush of size three and take some good amount of solid black color in it, make a good composition of water and color together, and just fill in solid black color in the entire portion. Whenever you're painting a sill out, which is basically in a solid black color, just make sure that there is no space left in between. It will not look nice when the entire color dries up. Now similarly, let us practice one more sellout, which is creating a natural landscape in the bottom portion. You can start by creating a natural outline first and then fill in solid black color in the inner portion. Now if you observe carefully, we have a beautiful detailed bridge in the coaster that is placed on the left hand portion. It's a sellout of a bridge which is very easy and simple to paint. Just paint a horizontal line connecting between the plants in either sides. Then just make a semicircular shape on the bottom portion. Now we are going to paint these vertical lines in the entire bridge, which creates a nice detail to the entire sellout. While painting in a smaller portion, always make sure that your hand is very much loose and free. No need to make it very stiff. Now let us practice. Few pine trees as well. So it's a very simple and easy technique and one of the most favorite part of mine. You just have to create these vertical lines, which basically decides the position of the pine tree. Once you have painted the vertical lines, just start applying these little strokes from the topmost portion and slowly move towards the bottom area. While you're moving towards the bottom area, just simply increase the size of the strokes that you're making. This is basically a very interesting step and you'll definitely enjoy this step as well. I hope that you've got an exact idea that the vertical lines are basically telling us the exact position of the pine trees where you have to paint them while we are going to paint the pine trees onto the coaster. I would like to tell you that no need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can definitely explore and you can create your own composition of the pine trees as well. We are done with the bottom landscape area as well. Now let us add a little bit of contrast in the house. By painting these little windows, You just have to take some solid white color in your round brush and just apply these four dots. You can observe the practice sheet carefully. I have added some labelings so that you can get an exact idea of what we have painted. The practice sheet will be very helpful for you to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. I hope that you enjoyed the practice session now let us move towards the next part. 8. Placing the Coaster: Everybody, before we start painting the coasters, let me give you a basic idea of how you can place your coaster having some support at the bottom side so that you can paint in a comfortable manner. Here I have a simple cap of a spray bottle. You can use any other support material also, it should just have a little bit of height from the desk surface. Now we're going to place the coaster on the topmost portion so that you can move it easily and paint it in a comfortable manner case you want to place your coaster directly to the desk surface. That is also completely fine. If you do this particular thing, that is also absolutely okay. I'll be using a simple masking tape. Take a little piece of the masking tape and just fold it. You can make it a double sided tape. As you can observe, I have the sticky part on both sides now. Simply place it on the back portion of the entire coaster. No need to hurry at all. Now we have some sticky portion on the back side as well. Now simply place it onto the cap. Apply a little bit of pressure using your thumbs or fingers. Now you can observe that we have a little bit of height from the desk surface and you can easily move it according to your convenience. You can simply use your hands to grab the cap on the bottom portion and move the coaster according to your convenience. This will definitely help you a lot to paint in a comfortable manner, you can observe carefully. It is absolutely okay if you want to place your coaster directly to your desk surface. Now let us move towards the next part. 9. Coaster 1 - Dense Landscape: Hey everybody. You're most welcome to the first coaster which is a dense landscape. As you can observe, I'm ready with my coaster. I'll be starting with the first step, which is using a simple flat brush of size seven and apply a thin coat of water on the entire surface of the coaster. This is basically known as a simple wet on wet technique in which we apply a thin coat of water initially. And then the color so that when we paint the background color, it blends in a very nice way. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that you cover the entire surface carefully. Now let us take the first color, which is going to be Vermilion. Take a little bit of color in the color palette, add a little bit of water to make a good composition of water and color together. Now start applying the color from the bottom portion. No need to hurry at all and observe the simple horizontal movement that I'm having. Slowly move towards the above area, applying a good amount of color on the entire surface. In case you find that your brush is having axis amount of water in it, just simply dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed. Now let us take the second color, which is going to be crimson. Take a little bit of color into the color palette and we're going to use the same brush. This shade is a little bit darker. It is absolutely fine if your brush is not that much clean, but simply clean it in water, dab it onto the tissue paper, and take the second color. Start applying it from the topmost portion and slowly move towards the bottom area. There is a little bit of difference between both the colors. No need to hurry at all. And just simply clean your flat brush. Make it completely dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper. Now we are going to blend both the colors together. Applying a dry brush will help you a lot to get a nice, clean blend between both the colors. The more horizontal strokes you'll apply, the better blend you'll get. Once you're satisfied with the blend, just let the background dry for a while. Once the background is dry, you're going to paint some beautiful clouds in the sky area. I'll be taking some solid white color and I'll be adding a little bit of vermilion in it to get a nice light shade of vermilion. No need to hurry at all. We are going to have more amount of solid white color to get a beautiful contrast with the background. I'll be using my roundbrush of size three. It's a very simple and easy technique of painting the clouds in the sky area. You can observe the movement of my round brush. I'm using the tip of my round brush to create these little horizontal strokes in a very random way. You just have to combine these little strokes together to get a very nice, beautiful cloud effect in the sky area. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and organic shape in the sky, there is no specific way of painting them. You can create your own composition as well. Also, no need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition. You can create a cluster of two to three clouds together in the sky area as well. I've created a cluster of cloud in the left hand portion because we are going to have a beautiful tree on the right hand side. Right now, you might observe that the solid white color is very sharp. To make the edges a little bit rough and have a nice blend with the background, you can use your same round brush. Take a little bit of water in it and just smooth the edges by applying it on the outline. Slowly, you'll observe that the clouds get a nice blend with the background color. Do this step with a lot of patience. Now let us paint the beautiful landscape area that we have on the bottom portion. It's a very simple and easy technique. You are definitely going to enjoy this particular step. What we are going to do is that we're going to create a nice organic outline First, using the tip of the round brush of size three, you can observe that it creates a nice grass texture on the outline. We have to fill in solid black color in the inner portion. Try to make a good composition of water and solid black color in the color palette. Make sure that you have less amount of water and more color so that you get a nice, saturated, solid black color. You can observe carefully that I started from the left hand portion slowly, I moved towards the right hand side area, making the landscape a little bit bigger, having some more plantations. Slowly, I'll be filling in solid black color in the entire portion. You can observe the movement of my round brush as well. It's a simple vertical movement. Always try to move your brush in the same direction. Whenever you're applying a same color in a bigger surface area, you can observe that we have somehow created a nice base for the entire landscape area. In the bottom portion, this is basically replicating some beautiful plants in the bottom area. It is basically a sell out. A sell out is generally in a very solid black color. Right now, we do not have a well defined outline for the plantations. What I'm going to do is I'm going to use my round brush of size zero, which is a little bit smaller than the first round brush of size three. And we are going to use its tip to create a beautiful defined outline for the plantations in the bottom area. It's a very simple and easy technique. You just have to create these little strokes so that you get a well defined outline. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. For doing this particular step, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. No need to make it very stiff. Also, one more thing I would like to tell you is that no need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition of the landscape area in the bottom portion as well, since we are going to have a beautiful bridge sellout in between. That's why I have created a nice variation which is having a little bit of depth on the left hand portion. You can observe carefully that we have created a nice variation using the round brush of size zero. Now, once we are done painting the landscape area in the bottom portion, let us paint a beautiful tree, which is also in a sellout format. Again, this is going to be a very interesting step. You just have to create the outline first by using your round brush of size three. Just make a very random and rough organic outline first. And then you have to fill in solid black color in the inner portion in case you find that your color is getting finished From the brush, you can take some more color from the color palette. We have created the entire bush, which is basically the foliage of the entirety. We have painted the base. Similarly, we are going to add one more bush on the right hand side, which is going to be a little bit smaller. You can use your same brush and create a nice rough black patch. Now again, to define the entirety a little bit more in detail, I'll be using my round brush of size zero. Use the tip of your round brush carefully. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free and create a beautiful organic outline. As you all know that trees generally have a very natural and organic shape. There is no specific way of painting them. You can create your own composition of the entire tree as well. You can play with the shape and sizes also in case you want to practice the tree initially on a rough scrape of paper first. And then you want to come towards your final coaster that is also completely fine. This will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. Similarly, I'll be defining the smaller bush as well by adding these little strokes on the outline. Now simply, we are going to connect the entire bush with the landscape area. In the bottom portion, I'll be using my roundbrush of size zero. You have to simply connect these little strokes with the landscape area. Try to paint it with a lot of patience. And just use the tip of your round brush. Apply very less pressure on it. This basically acts as the entire trunk of the tree. I'll be using my same roundbrush of size zero and we're going to paint a beautiful bridge. You just have to create this horizontal line connecting with the landscape area. And you have to draw a semicircular shape in the bottom portion connecting with the horizontal line. Now to add some nice details in the entire bridge, you just have to add these vertical strokes in between. It is a very simple and easy step. You just have to use your round brush and just apply very less pressure on your hand and just simply paint these vertical lines in between. Similarly, we are going to do this on the other side as well. Now you can observe how beautiful the entire sell out of the bridge looks. We are almost done painting the entire bridge. Let us add some more details by adding a simple horizontal line just above the first horizontal line that we painted. Again, you have to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Try to leave a little bit of space in between. You can make the entire horizontal line a little bit thicker by adding a few more horizontal strokes in case you find that your color is getting finished. From the brush, you can take some more color from the color palette. Now let us add a beautiful moon, or you can also consider it as a sun in the sky area. Take your round brush of size zero. Take some good amount of solid white color in it, and you just have to paint a circular shape in the sky area. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Try to get a nice, perfect circular shape, and we are done with the entire coaster. Now let me take you a little bit closer by detaching it with the cap below. You can observe all the details carefully how beautifully we have combined all the elements together to form a beautiful scenery. I hope that you enjoyed the entire process of creating this particular coaster. Now let us move towards the next part. 10. Coaster 2 - Pine Trees: Hey buddy, You're most welcome to the second coaster which is pine trees. As you can observe, I'm ready with my coaster and we're going to start with the first step, which is going to be applying a thin coat of water on the entire surface of the coaster. I'll be using my flat brush of size seven, and we're going to apply a nice coat of water on the entire coaster. No need to hurry at all. Just take your time. Try to apply the water on the entire surface of the coaster carefully, make sure that there is no space left in between. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique, in which we apply a thin coat of water initially, so that we can blend the colors in a nice way. I'll be using a simple pencil to supread the sky area and the water body. You just have to draw a horizon line, which is a simple horizontal line. Now take some little bit of cerreline blue in the color palette. Make a good composition of color and water together. Now we are going to apply the color just above the horizon line. It's going to be a very simple and easy step. You can observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple horizontal movement. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply some good amount of color on the entire coaster. You can observe carefully that I'm slowly moving towards the above area in case you find that your color is getting finished. From the brush, you can take some more amount of color. Now you can observe, I have covered the entire area. Now we're going to create a beautiful gradient effect. That's why we're going to apply some solid white color on the topmost portion, you can simply dab your brush onto the tissue paper. Take some good amount of solid white color. No need to worry at all. You can blend it together by applying a lot of horizontal strokes in between them. In case you find that your brush is having a lot of water in it, you can definitely dab your brush onto the tissue paper to remove some axis amount of water. Whenever you want to create a beautiful gradient effect, always make sure that the more horizontal strokes you'll apply, the better blend you'll get between both the colors. Now let the sky area dry for a while and let's paint the water body. I'll be taking some violet color in the color palette as you can observe. And I'll be adding a little bit of water to make a good composition of water and color together so that we can move our brush in a very smooth manner. Now just below the horizon line, I'll be using the tip of my flat brush. No need to hurry while applying the color just below the horizon line. Slowly apply the color in the bottom portion. You can observe, again, it's a very simple horizontal movement. In case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can definitely take some more color from the color palette. Now I have left some portion in the bottom area. Because we want to create a beautiful gradient effect, use your round brush of size three. Apply a little bit of solid white color in the bottom portion. Now simply clean your flat brush of size seven and just apply these horizontal strokes between both the colors. Slowly, you'll observe a nice blend between solid white color and the ilet color. I'm personally loving this beautiful gradient effect. The more horizontal strokes you'll apply, the better blend you'll get between both the colors. We have applied the base right now. Now we are going to create some beautiful depth and details to the water body. I'll be using my round brush of size zero and we are going to take some darker tone of violet color. Now simply you have to apply these little horizontal lines. There is no specific way of applying the horizontal lines. You can just randomly apply these horizontal lines. And you will observe it gets a nice blend with the gradient effect in the background. You can definitely create a cluster of two to three strokes together. And as you all know, that water body is also a very natural and organic element in the nature. There is no specific way of painting them. You can create your own composition of these beautiful horizontal strokes together. The more horizontal strokes you'll apply, the better depth and detail you'll get in the entire water body. In case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can take some more color from the color palettes in case you're not that much confident enough to paint the water body directly towards your final coaster. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. Now you can observe that I'm also creating some darker tone of solid violet color. This is how you can create a beautiful variation to create a beautiful water body. Now to just decrease the sharpness of the strokes, you can just take your flat brush, which is completely dry, and just apply these horizontal strokes on the entire surface. This will help you a lot to balance the entire horizontal strokes with the background color. Now I'll be using my round brush of size three and we are going to paint some beautiful abstract clouds in the sky area. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and organic shape, there is no specific way of painting them. You just have to take some solid white color. Apply these little horizontal strokes in a very natural and organic manner. No need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can definitely create your own composition of the clouds. You can decide the position. You can create a cluster of two to three clouds as well. Right now, you can observe the white strokes are very much sharp and in a very good contrast with the background. To make the edges a little bit smoother, you can just take your round brush of size three, make it completely clean in water. Take a little bit of water in it and just reapply on the strokes that you have painted. You will observe that the color will get a little bit less saturated, the solid white color basically. And it will get a nice blend with the background color as well. It basically makes the entire cloud look a little bit smoother. No need to hurry at all. Just try to paint the clouds in a very slow and steady manner. Now let us start painting the landscape area. I'll be again using my round brush of size three. Take some good amount of solid black color in the color palette, make a good composition of color and water together. You can observe that I have created a beautiful landscape area by creating a nice black patch just above the horizon line. Now similarly, we are going to create a beautiful landscape area in the left hand portion as well. While applying a solid black color, always make sure that there is no space left in between to create its beautiful reflection effect onto the water body. You can simply add these horizontal strokes just below the horizon line. This is basically acting as the reflection of the landscape onto the water body. As you move towards the bottom area, You can simply decrease the size of the horizontal strokes that you're making now. Similarly, we are going to add a beautiful landscape area in the left hand portion as well. You can start by creating the outline first and then fill in solid black color in the inner portion. That is also absolutely fine. I have created a small landscape area in the left hand side. Slowly, I'll be adding a landscape area onto the water body. It is again a very simple and easy technique. You just have to apply the outline first, then you can fill in solid black color in the inner portion in case you find that your color is getting finished from the brush, you can definitely take some more color now to create the reflection of this particular landscape. Also, you can just add few horizontal strokes. No need to hurry at all. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free so that you can get a nice rough horizontal stroke. As you move towards the bottom area, you can simply decrease the size of the strokes that you're making. As you can observe, we have added a beautiful landscape in the water body area. Now similarly, we are going to add few more landscape in the water body area, which basically acts as an island. There can be variation in size and shape of the landscape. No need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your beautiful composition of the landscape as well in case you are not that much confident enough to paint the solid black landscape area directly towards your water body and you do not want to spoil your beautiful coaster and its gradient background. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. Also, in case you find that your solid black color is getting finished from your detailing brush, what you can do is you can add a little bit of water and make a good composition of water and color together in the color palette. And take some more color so that you can get a nice saturated, solid black color. Now we are going to paint some beautiful pine trees on the island that we have painted. Just start with a simple vertical line. This basically tells us about the position of the pine tree. Now it's a very simple and satisfying step to paint a beautiful pine tree. You just have to start applying these little strokes starting from the topmost portion. You just have to apply these strokes in a very random and natural manner. As you move towards the bottom area, you just have to increase the size of the strokes that you're making. It basically creates a beautiful shape for the entire pine tree. No need to hurry at all. You have to paint the pine tree with a lot of patience and try to create some nice beautiful strokes. You can simply observe the movement of my round brush and the way I'm using the tip of the round brush to create this beautiful organic outline. Now slowly, we are going to connect the beautiful foliage of the entire tree with the landscape area. In the bottom portion, you can observe that I have increased the size of the strokes that I've made. Now similarly, we are going to add few more pine trees having variation in these sizes. You can definitely add and create your own composition of the pine trees. You can decide the position, you can play with the shape and size as well. I have added two vertical lines having different height. The step is absolutely same. You just have to create these little strokes starting from the topmost portion. As you move towards the bottom area, you can simply increase the size of the strokes that you're making. I'll add one more pine tree in the small landscape area that we have. In the right inside, the steps are absolutely same. You just have to create a beautiful vertical line. This time it is going to be a little bit smaller than all the three that we have painted initially. Now just add these little strokes around the vertical line, connect it with the landscape area in the bottom portion. Now if you observe, all the elements that we have painted as a fill out are solid black and it creates a beautiful contrast with the background colors. I'll be using my olive green poster color, which is a very good alternative to guash colors in case you have a guache color that is also absolutely fine. And we're going to create some nice grassy texture to the landscape area that we have painted. Take some good amount of solid olive green color in the color palette. And we're going to use our round brush of size zero. It's a very simple and easy technique. You just have to create these little dots. You just have to tab your brush to the entire solid black color. We are basically applying the grassy texture on the topmost portion, only We are not going to cover the entire solid black color. This basically creates a nice depth and detail to the entire landscape area. Also, this helps us to separate the pine trees and the landscape area. Similarly, you can add this beautiful texture to the smaller landscape areas that we have painted while applying the texture using this solid, olive green color. Just make sure that you have no water in your brush. Just directly take the color as it is having a good consistency already. Similarly, I'll be adding some texture onto the landscape area that we have painted, just above the horizon line. You can definitely create a nice variation by adding this beautiful texture. Also, in case you're not that much confident enough to apply the texture directly towards your final coaster, what you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. I'll be using my round brush of size zero and just take some solid white color in it and we're going to paint a beautiful sun in the sky area using this solid white color. It's a very simple and easy technique. Just try to paint a circular shape. No need to hurry at all. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free while doing this particular step. We can also create a beautiful reflection effect of the entire sun onto the water body. It's a very simple and easy technique. You just have to take some solid white color, add a little bit of blue if you want to just make these little horizontal strokes, as you move towards the bottom area, you can decrease the size of the strokes that you're making, and we are done with the entire coaster. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular coaster. You can observe how beautifully we have combined all the elements together to form a beautiful scenery. Now let us move towards the next coaster. 11. Coaster 3 - House by the Bridge: Everybody, you're most welcome to the third coaster, which is housed by the bridge. And this is the last coaster that we are going to paint. As you can observe, I'm ready with my coaster and we're going to start with the first step, which is simply applying a thin coat of water. I'll be using my flat brush of size seven, and I have applied a thin coat of water on the entire surface of the coaster. Make sure that there is no space left on the entire surface. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique, in which we apply a thin coat of water initially, so that we can blend both the colors in a very nice way. Now I'll be taking the first color, which is rose very near to a pink shade. So you can go for any other good alternative as well. And we are going to start applying the color, but before that, make sure that you create a nice composition of water and color together, mix it well in the color palette. No need to have axis amount of water. Now I'm going to apply the color to the entire coaster. No need to hurry at all. You can observe it's a simple horizontal movement. Try to apply a good amount of color on the entire surface. Also, in case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, just simply dab it onto the tissue paper and you can reapply the horizontal strokes, that axis amount of water will be removed. Now you can observe that we have applied a nice coat of rose on the entire surface. Now I'm going to take the second color, which is going to be oilet. Simply start applying it from the topmost portion, slowly moving towards the bottom area. Now to blend both the colors together in a nice way, what we're going to do is we're going to apply maximum horizontal strokes in between them. You will observe that you'll get a nice blend. The more horizontal strokes you'll apply, the better blend you'll get. You can clean your flat brush completely in water. Make it completely dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper and you can reapply the horizontal strokes. You will slowly observe that you'll get a nice blend between both the colors. Once you're done painting the entire background with this beautiful gradient effect, you can let it dry for a while, give some good amount of time for the background to dry, and let us move towards the next step. Now once the entire background is dry, we are going to paint some beautiful clouds in the sky area. I'll be taking some solid white color in the color palette. Add a little bit of water to loose in the color up, and we're going to create some beautiful abstract clouds in the sky area. You just have to start applying these horizontal strokes. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and organic shape. There is no specific way of painting them. You can create your own composition of the clouds as well. You can create a cluster of two to three clouds together. You can decide the position. You can play with the shape and size of the clouds as well. You can observe carefully the way I'm using the tip of my round brush and I'm just creating these little white patches in case you want to use your round brush of size zero. That is also absolutely fine. If you are completely okay with size three, that is also absolutely okay. You can observe I have created some natural abstract shapes of the clouds, forming these horizontal strokes together. Right now, you can observe that the clouds are very sharp and in contrast with the background color. To make the edges look a little bit more smoother, what you can do is you can just simply clean your round brush and water, have a little bit of water in it, and simply reapply the brush near the edges of the entire cloud. You will slowly observe that the clouds will completely look a little bit more smoother. You just have to do this particular step in a very slow and steady manner. Take a little bit of water and simply reapply it on the entire cloud surface. You can basically apply it on the outline so that you get a beautiful blend with the background color in case you are not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly towards your final coaster. You do not want to spoil your beautiful gradient background. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. We had un painting the clouds. Now let us start with the landscape area in the bottom portion, which is a very satisfying part. I'll be using my round brush of size three. Take some good amount of solid black color in the color palette. We want some more amount of solid black color because this allot is going to be a little bit bigger. Take some good amount of solid black color, make a good composition of color and water together. And we're going to use our round brush of size zero. Starting from the house that we are going to have. On the left hand portion, you just have to draw a simple vertical line. Place the coaster in a comfortable manner so that you can paint in a very nice way. And we're going to paint a beautiful triangular roof. You just have to use the tip of your round brush to create the outline. First, I have created a beautiful triangular roof. Once we are done painting the roof, we're also going to create the walls as well. You can simply create two vertical lines on either sides. And then you have to fill in solid black color in the inner portion in case you find that your color is getting finished. From the brush, you can take some more color from the color palette. Also make sure that you have less amount of water and more color. Because if you have more amount of water, it will decrease the saturation of the solid black color. Now we are going to connect the entire house with this beautiful landscape area, which is going to have a lot of grass, which is basically a part of the plantation. You just have to use the tip of your round brush to create these little strokes combining together, forming a beautiful organic outline. No need to hurry at all. Try to do this particular step in a very slow and steady manner while you're creating these little strokes combining together, always try to keep your hand very much loose and free. You can observe that we started from the left hand portion slowly. I'm moving towards the right hand side Now, in order to create some little pine trees, or you can consider it as some beautiful plants, we have created two vertical lines. And just add these little strokes around, so it creates a beautiful variation in the entire outline. Now similarly, we'll just repeat the same steps by adding these little strokes together, completing the entire landscape area. In the remaining portion, as you can observe, we are done creating a beautiful organic outline. Now we are going to fill in solid black color in the remaining portion. Now in order to paint the entire surface a little bit quicker, what you can do is you can take your round brush of size three, take some good amount of solid black color, and just apply it in the entire portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner and make sure that there is no space left in between. You can simply observe the movement of my round brush. It's a simple vertical movement. Whenever you're trying to cover a larger area using a same color, make sure that you do not change the direction of your brush. As you can observe, we have completely covered the entire area using solid black color. Now let the color dry for a while and let's add a few more details. I'll be using my round brush of size zero. Take some good amount of solid black color in it, and simply add a horizontal line connecting with both the landscapes, presenting the right hand side and the left hand side. This is basically a sell out of a bridge. Now we are going to create a beautiful semicircular line, which is going to connect with the horizontal line that we have painted on the topmost portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint this particular thing in a very slow and steady manner, since it's a very thin line to try to apply very less pressure on your brush. Now in order to add few more details, we're going to use the same brush of size zero. Take some good amount of solid black color in it, and we're going to add vertical lines in between. I'm starting from the left hand portion slowly. I'll move towards the right hand side. You can keep a little bit of distance between all the vertical lines. You can observe how beautiful the entire details looks when we complete the entire bridge. Now, similarly, I'll be adding the vertical lines on the right hand side as well. The steps are absolutely same. Try to keep your hand very much loose and free. No need to make it very much stiff in case you're not that much confident enough to paint the bridge directly towards your final coaster. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. I'll be using my same brush of size zero. You can give some nice finishing and details to the entire bridge by just adding one more line. We're done with all the sellout elements. Now let us add some nice details in the plantation as well. You can use your round brush of size zero and you can define the plants a little bit more by adding these little strokes on the outline. No need to hurry at all. You can take your time also. No need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can definitely create your own composition of the entire scenery as well. Now let us add few more details by using some solid white color. I'll be using my round brush of size zero only. And I'm just going to paint a beautiful sun. You just have to paint a circular shape in the sky area. You can decide the position of the sun according to your convenience. It is absolutely fine. Just make sure that you paint a beautiful circular shape. You can decide the size of the sun as well. Now to make the house look a little bit more aesthetic, we are going to paint a nice window. You just have to create these four dots, which is basically creating a nice window shape. I hope that you got an exact idea of how to add some minor details. You can create a beautiful contrast using solid black color and white as well. We are done with the last coaster. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular coaster as well, and got to learn something new. Now let us move towards the next part where we are going to enhance all the three coasters. 12. Enhancing the Coasters: Everybody, we are done painting all the three coasters. Now it's time to enhance them. This particular step is not at all compulsory to do. If you want to place your coasters directly towards your bottle using a simple magnet, that is absolutely fine. But in order to create a beautiful contrast with the bottle color, what I'm going to do is that I'm going to add a nice paper in the background. If you want to place the coaster directly, it will look like this. In case you want to add a beautiful paper in the background, then you can follow these steps further. It's going to be a very simple and easy technique. What we're going to do is that we're going to use a simple white paper if you have a rough scrap of paper that is absolutely fine. Or in case you want to go for a watercolor paper, that is also absolutely fine. In case you have a rough scrap of paper, it will work completely. Now what we're going to do is that we're going to take some simple glue that you'll find very easily in any nearby local art store. You just have to apply some good amount of glue on the back portion of the entire coaster. Take some good amount of glue so that the paper gets stuck to the entire coaster in a very nice way. Use your finger to spread the glue in the entire surface of the coaster on the back side. So that the glue can be applied on the entire surface in a nice way so you can observe the way I'm spreading the glue on the entire surface. Now, once we have applied the glue on the entire surface, you just have to place your coaster onto the white paper. Just simply flip your coaster and place it onto the white paper. Make sure that there is enough white space left around the entire circle. Use your fingers or thumb to apply some pressure so that the paper will get completely stuck to the entire coaster. Give it some time to settle and the paper to stuck to the entire coaster in a nice way. Now, once the entire coaster is stuck with the paper, we are going to use a pattern scissor. You can observe it's having a zigzag pattern. We're going to use this particular scissor to cut the entire remaining portion of the white paper. We'll get a nice zigzag circumference for the entire coaster. While doing this particular step, you have to be a little bit careful. Leave a little bit of white space around the circumference of the entire coaster and just follow the line. No need to hurry at all, just simply follow the entire circumference and follow the pattern as well. You will slowly observe that we get a nice zigzag line on the entire circumference, and this basically creates some beautiful aesthetics for the entire coaster. Just simply follow the outline of the entire coaster and complete it by cutting it out. The reason behind selecting a solid white color as the background is so that it creates a beautiful contrast with the bottle. Similarly, you can add this beautiful solid white paper in the remaining two coasters as well. Now you can observe how beautiful the entire coaster will look when we place it onto the bottle. 13. Placing the Magnet: Everybody. Once we are done enhancing all the three coasters, we are going to place a simple magnet onto the bottle and the coasters as well. Here we have basically created three coasters, but in case you want to create a few more coasters and paint some more beautiful Was sceneries, that is also absolutely fine. I have added the white paper in the remaining two coasters. Now I'll be using a simple quick, this is a glue which is a very quick drying glue in case you want to use a simple glue that is also absolutely fine. But then you have to wait for a while the magnet to stick here, I have small magnets. You will find these magnets very easily in any nearby local art store. And you can observe these are very small magnets that you can place very easily. We are going to use the magnet to place onto the coaster and one onto the bottle. You can observe that I've used a waste paper to enhance this particular coaster. It was a simple rough scrap of paper on which I practiced. I'll just place one drop of a Fe Quick and then you have to place the magnet on it so you can add a little drop of pequick on that as well. And simply place the coaster on the center portion of the entire coaster. No need to hurry at all. Try to place the magnet in a very slow and steady manner. Make sure that you place it on the center of the coaster. Now, similarly, we are going to add the small magnet onto the bottle as well. You can decide the position. Try to keep it a little bit up from the center. You can just add a little drop of the quick and place your magnet and it will quickly dry and the magnet will be completely stuck with the bottle. Now we have the magnet onto the coaster and the bottle, both you can simply place the coaster to the bottle and you will observe it will get completely stuck with the bottle. The best part of the entire artwork is that you can easily detach the coaster from the bottle. That is the reason we have used a small magnet. You can observe how beautifully the entire coaster can be easily detached and attached to the bottle easily. Now, similarly, we are going to add these smaller magnets to the remaining coasters as well, so that we can replace the scenery according to our mood and convenience. As you can observe, I have flipped both the coasters. No need to hurry at all. While you're placing the magnet, be a little bit careful because a quick will very easily get dry and your hands might get stuck onto the paper in case you want to use a simple glue that is absolutely fine. It's just that the glue will take a little bit of time to dry and it is completely okay. You just have to wait for a while. You can observe that I've taken another magnet and I have placed it onto the second coaster. Make sure that you try to place the magnet onto the center. It is okay. If it is a little bit off center, that is fine, but make sure that it is approximately onto the center. Now, similarly, I have taken another magnet and I'm going to place it onto the last coaster. No need to hurry at all. Take your time and place the magnet. Let it dry for a while. We are done adding the magnets on all the three coasters. Now the best part about the artwork is that wherever you place this beautiful bottle art, you can change the washed scenery according to your mood and convenience. And it is very easy and simple. Because it is having a magnet, you will be easily able to attach and detach it from the bottle in case you want to place your coaster permanently towards your bottle. It is absolutely fine. You can do that according to your convenience. I hope that you got an exact idea how you have to use a simple magnet to create this beautiful bottle art. Now let us move towards the next part. 14. Class Conclusion: The best part about mixed media is that you can use any art medium, combine it together to form a beautiful artwork. In this class, we combined a guash painting, a beautiful bottle art using a medium of acrylic. And we used some basic craft work to enhance the entire class project. It was a really fun and creative session for me as well. And while I was creating this particular class, I made any number of mistakes. And that is something I tell my students that never to be afraid of making mistakes, you can definitely enjoy the process. While you're creating a beautiful artwork. Always try to maintain an art journal on which you can practice on a regular basis and keep a record of your artwork. I would be super excited to see all of your class projects. Do not forget to add your projects to the project gallery. In case you have any questions or doubts related to the class, feel free to ask them into the discussion section. It would be really great if you leave a review for the entire class as it encourages me a lot and my class can reach many more students like you At the end. I would like to say that enjoy the process of creating, keep learning, keep practicing. Thank you so much for joining the class and Abbey painting.
