I discovered my love for lettering way back on October 2017 when I felt so stressed about my job and wanted to do something new. I saw a friend from a social media posting her works of Calligraphy and I instantly became interested to try it for myself. But like every beginners, it was also frustrating to me at first: keeping my upstrokes thin and my downstrokes consistent.

"Practice makes progress." This became my mantra as I improve myself on lettering. I learned to just enjo... See full profile

I'm so excited to share this painting technique with you and help you take your calligraphy projects to the next level. Get your brush pens ready, grab some paper, and let's dive into the colorful world of brush pen blooms. I can't wait to see what you'll create. 2. Types of Brushpens: In this module, we'll discuss the materials needed for this class. I'll explain the different types of brush pens and paper that you can use in brush pen, floral painting, and other supplies you'll need. Let's start with the different types of brush pens. The most important feature of the brush pen you want to use to paint florals is that it should be water based. If you're unsure if your brush pen is water based, you can check the barrel or packaging, or simply test your brush pens. I'll show you how to test your brush pens to see if they will work with the techniques that we will do in this class. Let's take the tombodual brush pens. As an example, I have two types of tombo brush pens here. One is alcohol based and the other is water based. Most of the brush pens have this tag in the barrel. You can easily check if your brush pen will work with the techniques that we will do. As you can see, this type of tombo, this is the tomboABTp. You can see that there is the label alcohol based. Then the other one, which is the Tombo ABT, you will see that it says water based. This one is what we need for this class because the ink in this brush pen can be activated with water. Like with the alcohol based, it cannot be blended with water. Most of the alcohol based markers, the ink will be easily absorbed in the paper. What are some of the water based brush pens that I love to use? My most favorite brush marker that I love to use for brush pen, floral painting, is the in brush marker Pro. This is the juiciest of the brush pens that I've ever tested. It really works well as water color. It has so many colors to choose from. The tip is durable enough. You can use this directly on the watercolor paper. Even if the watercolor paper has some texture on it, it doesn't easily free. You can see here it says it can be used for calligraphy graphic design illustration. This is water based and the tip is medium sized and flexible enough to do some brush markings for the florals. Of course, if you don't have carine brush marker pro, there are other water based markers that we can still use for floral painting. My second favorite is of the dual brush pens, or the Tombo ABT. This comes with different sets. I have the galaxy set of colors, but there are other sets, like the basic colors, floral colors. There are so many colors to choose from. Again, with tumbo dual brush pens. Of course, if you're on a budget, I highly recommend that you try cola. Super tips. This works well also for the brush pen, floral painting that we're going to do in this class. It's also easily activated with water. The tip is like a cone. It's also easy to control if you need to create some brush markings for your florals. It doesn't also easily fray, affordable, and cheaper compared to the other brush pens that I mentioned. You will not be afraid to use them on watercolor paper, even if you use them in watercolor paper, they don't easily fray. Also, there are a lot of other water based brush markers that is available in the market. This is just the top three of the brush markers that I usually use especially for brush pen, floral painting. If you don't have the exact materials, don't worry because I'll show you later how to activate your brush pen with water. Just to check if the brush pen that you will work with, the techniques that we will do in this class. Okay, in the next module, we're going to talk about choosing the right paper. I'll see you there. 3. Choosing the Right Paper: Now let's talk about the paper testing. How your brush pen will react to the paper that you'll use is an important step to make sure that you achieve the best result of painting loose florals with brush pens. I have here a set of copy paper, velum board, and two types of watercolor paper. I'm going to activate the carine brush markers to each type of paper that you will see, which is the best paper For this technique. I'll start with the copy paper, which is 100 GSM. Normally, I'd use copy paper for practicing calligraphy because this brand of copy paper is smooth and high quality when you use irregular copy paper for brush pen florals, or when you use your brush pens as water color. In regular copy paper like this, even if it's 100 GSM, look what will happen. I'm just going to create some strokes. I'm going to paint a simple rose. Then I'll activate the brush markings with water. This is a paint brush that is damp. You see the pigment is not activated. All it did was like a bleeding of ink in this paper. It will be frustrating to do brush pen florals or any types of watercolor painting with your brush pen if you're using regular copy paper, even if it's already 100 GSM. The techniques that we will learn in this class won't work for copy paper. Now let's try this velum board, which is 220 GSM. I'm going to do the same brush markings and then try to activate it again with water to see if this is going to work. So again, the same result as our copy paper. It is not activated with, to work as water color. Now I'm going to try this Canson watercolor paper. This Canson watercolor paper has a rough texture. This is the rough texture at the back is a smooth texture. This is 200 GSM. Okay, then activating again with water. There you will notice that the pigment from my paint brush was activated with water. And it works now as water color. You see there is a big difference with the type of paper that you will use. In this technique, I used the rough side of Canson watercolor paper. The beauty of Karen brush marker is that even if I only have two small brush markings, it managed to give me a lot of pigment that I was able to make a form of a rose here. Okay. Now let's try to paint at the back, which is the smooth side of the Canson watercolor paper. Let's see how the brush pen will react in this side of Canson watercolor paper. Again, the pigment is easily activated with water and still can work as water color. If you feel like you don't want to ruin your brush pens with the rough textured paper, I suggest that you find a watercolor paper that has a smooth side like Canson. But personally, I prefer to use watercolor paper with texture because it just my painting texture. This is the difference. This is the rough texture side of cans is the smooth texture side of cans. But not the my favorite watercolor paper to use for brush pen florals is the Fabriano watercolor paper. This one is cold pressed and it is 200 GSM. Okay. Since it's watercolor paper, the pigment from my paint brush is easily activated with water so that it can work as water color there. This Fabriano watercolor paper, it doesn't have a smooth side. Both side of it is rough or has a texture. But so far, I didn't encounter any problem using my brush markers with this paper. I highly recommend using watercolor paper to ensure that you achieve the best result of painting loose florals with your brush pens. Again, this is my favorite, The Fabriano watercolor paper, it's thick enough to absorb the ink and water to paint flowers. You can also use Canson watercolor paper or any other watercolor paper available in your location. But wait, Wouldn't that ruin my precious brush pens if I use watercolor paper? Well, the answer is yes. But it will be okay if you only use the brush pens to make a few strokes and markings on the watercolor paper. Based on my experience, carine brush markers are the best tool for this technique since their tip is durable and won't fray easily even if you use them on rough textured paper. As long as you're not practicing the drills and letters of calligraphy on the watercolor paper or any rough textured paper, brush pen should be fine. But if you worry that using your brush pens directly on the watercolor paper will damage it, I have a solution for you. We'll talk about that later. Okay. Don't worry. 4. Other materials needed: Okay, going back to the materials you need for this class. We will also need a paintbrush. Any paint brush will do but a round paintbrush that is size 46.8 is preferable to make loose brush strokes. Some of my paint brushes are the Princeton Heritage series. These are size 5.8 the tip is round. You can also use water brush if you have one. As long as the tip is also round, I suggest that you get a medium size water brush. Lastly, you need jar of water, tissue paper or a towel, a pencil and an eraser. 5. How to Activate Brushpen Ink with Water: I won't be able to know what brush pen you're going to use for this class. The best way to know if your marker will work for painting is to test and activate them with water. You can check your brush pen if it is water based. Because some brush pens don't have the label water base in the barrel. Like this, cool super tips. You need your jar of water and your paint brush. In this exercise, of course, your water based brush marker, you can just draw a line. Then dip your paint brush on the jar of water, but you don't need much water on the paint brush. Make sure to tap or remove the excess water gay. Then just touch it with your wet paint brush. When it is activated, then your brush marker is good for this class. So this is the ink from Cryola. Super tips. Okay, now I'll show you tumbo all brush pen, although you're already sure that this is water based because there is the label at the barrel, just draw a line. If you have some frayed or damaged brush pens already and you know that they are water based, don't throw them away because you can certainly use them for painting. Okay, you can see the ink of the tumbo dual brush pen gives me a very vibrant water color. When you're able to do this with the brush marker that you're using, then it's good for this. This one is the Tombo Pt. Then next we have Carine. We already know this, Rene is really juicy, really perfect for this technique. And when you're painting with your paint brush, you don't need to really use them a lot on the watercolor paper, so you don't need to worry if you're going to free them. Okay. So this is N now let me grab my right brush pen. I forgot to show that to you earlier. Okay. So this is a brush pen from right tech. Okay. I'm not sure if this is water based, but let's just test it again. I'll draw a line here. If the ink will spread as water color, then it's water based. Oh, yes. This is also water base. I'm, I tried this one right pecker is a good pen also. They are new to the market. I think they just started a few years ago. This is not sponsored, but, yeah, if you're looking for an affordable brush pen, definitely recommended, right? Peck. Okay, of course, I am going to show you also, if you are using an alcohol based marker, how would it react to the watercolor paper? Okay, I have here my tumbo ABT pro alcohol based. I just drew a line and dip my paint brush on the jar of water. Then there you go. It cannot be activated with water no matter how I go back and forth to this in No, it's not going to work. Okay. Yes, not working. Look for a brush pen that can work like this. Okay. What about for those of you who are not willing to use their precious brush pens? I understand brush markers can be expensive and we don't want to just ruin them by constantly using them on rough texture paper, because in calligraphy it is recommended that we practice on smooth quality paper, right? It's the same brush pens that you use for calligraphy, that same brush pen you can also use for brush pen, loose floral painting. What you can do is get a zip lock bug or any blending palette. I have here a blending palette from Tumbo. Then you can transfer the ink of your water based brush marker here or on the zip lock bag. Just be resourceful, you don't need to buy this the same palette that I have. Then simply in from your brush pen, then you can activate that with water and it can work as watercolor. Amazing, right? It just works so well. I hope that you find this lesson helpful and enjoy testing your brush markers. Find a zip bag or blending palette, whatever works for you, just do it. Okay, in the next lesson, we're going to talk about the brush pen painting techniques. 6. Brushpen Painting Techniques: This lesson will cover some of the basic brush pen techniques that you can practice before moving on to painting beautiful spring flowers. This is the time to get your brush pens and your paint brush. I'm using Princeton Heritage size five. Your jar of water and a tissue paper. Yeah, let's do this exercises together. You can follow along or watch first the video. It's up to you how you learn best. It doesn't matter. Okay, just enjoy the process. The first exercise is just do some dots with your brush marker. No need to complicate this. Just do some dots and then load your paint brush with water. Again, not to web, just dump, Then just do some light strokes with your paint brush. Okay. That's it. That's the first exercise. You didn't expect that, right? That's easy. The second markings that we're going to use is the V shape. This V shape is very helpful to paint five petal flower. Again, you can use any color that you like. Just grab this brush pen to draw a V shape, then wet your paint brush, then just spread the ink, then make it rounder on the other side. This is how you paint petal with the V markings of your brush pen. Okay, let's do that again, I'm going to use a different color, this time, V shape. It doesn't matter if you have thin or thick strokes. Forget about the rules of calligraphy. Just using brush pens for watercolor painting. Then from this V shape, drag the color and then create around shape on the other side. This one looks like a tear drop shape. Okay, Then we can combine these two brush markings to make a simple five petal flower. Let's do that. With this, it's not necessary to spread that. I just want you to have a simple exercise of activating the ink from your brush pen with water. You have your dot there, and then I'll get another color draw letter V. Okay, let's make a simple four petal flower then your paint brush. Just let them blend. Don't be afraid if the colors are blending, that's totally fine, and that would make That would give you a natural look of water color. I'm just dragging the ink from this V shape, then making a round shape on the side, and then pulling other colors to form the petal. Okay, you have a four petal flower already. Okay, Let's practice C shape markings for petals. You can use the shape markings for roses and other flowers that we are going to paint. In this earlier I've already shown you. Just draw stroke and then another stroke. Then you can activate this with water. The way that I did this shape, let me grab my blending palette here and activate this with water. Actually, I'm going to add more pigment so you can see more. Okay, you hold your paint brush at this level for the C shape. You can start with the tip of your paint brush. Tip of your paint brush that's going to be thin, then you're going to exert pressure then slowly so that it will go back to again, light pressure, heavy pressure. Then again you will see that your paint, the bristle of your paint brush is going wider, The belly of the paint brush and then live release you. Practice this exercise. Heavy pressure, drag the belly of your paint brush. Slowly release C shape, practice other sides thick, then the thick, thin. You can also start here with thick and then thin. Notice the belly of my paint brush. This one is thin, then I apply heavy pressure. You see, release the pressure. The shapes will be helpful later with our roses. So other sizes of shapes, you can start with shape, then overlap another shape here. Do this exercise repeatedly and practice on different direction so that you'll be more familiarized with the brush jokes. It doesn't necessarily need to have this thin line there and then thick and then thin. You will notice some of my strokes doesn't start with thin stroke. That's okay if you can manage to have that thin stroke better, but if not totally fine, there's nothing wrong with that. I'll show you later that with the brush marking technique, you can paint rose simple and quick process. So these are the exercises for the shaped petal. Strike this again with their brush pen. Roses are just C shapes or C strokes overlapping each other. I'll follow this curve shape. Don't be frustrated if your strokes are not beautiful. These are just exercises to help you be familiarize with the brush strokes. Okay, this is not yet the project. Just practice some loose brush strokes. You can also flick that for los feel of your petal. Okay, next is how to paint leaves with your brush pen. 7. Brushpen Leaves: Next is how to paint leaves. With your brush pen, you can get any green color. We can start by a thin stroke and then put heavy pressure to create thick, then slowly leaves, you will go back to that thin stroke, then we'll do the same on the other side, thick and thin. That's one thing to paint the leaves, or draw the leaves with your brush pen. You can add a stem. Then let's start by thick, thin, thin, thick, thin. Notice that I am leaving a white space at the center of the live. That is because this might mean the vein or the light in this live. That's just making an illusion to make this painting more interesting. But you don't, if you want to cover that up or you don't want to leave white space, that's also good. It's also fine. This is how it looks like. But to me, I really love the look of my leaves when it has a little white space at the center, that is the leaves. You can also make bigger leaves again, thin, thick, left the brush pen thin, heavy pressure. Then they're going to meet with a thin stroke. Okay, I just drew this stem. Let's make a bigger leaf. Heavy pressure release, heavy pressure, and then slowly release. If you don't like to draw leaves with a paint brush, of course you can get your palette transfer in, then we're going to activate that with water. Then remember the C shaped exercise we did earlier for our rose? You can use that to paint some leaves again. You have the thick, thin, then thick, and then they'll meet there. This is your leaf using your paint brush. And you can also create a thin stroke, heavy pressure release. A thin, heavy pressure release. Thin, heavy pressure release, thin, drag the belly of your paint brush. Then there you go, You have your branch of leaves. Okay? Do these exercises as much as you need to. Don't forget that it doesn't have to be perfect. On the first try, my leaves and my strokes didn't look like this. When I first started learning how to paint flowers, It's totally fine if it's not perfect, It doesn't look good on your first try. Okay, keep on practicing and just enjoy the process later. When we are actually painting flowers for our projects, you're going to learn more brush pen techniques and other brush markings for the type of flower that we're going to use for a certain project. But for now, practice them yourself. Because by practicing these techniques, you'll be well on your way to creating beautiful brush pen artwork, including stunning spring florals. Now if you are ready, let's do our brush Spring Florals challenge. 8. Brushpen Daffodils: Okay, let's get it on with our daffodil floral project. The code that we are going to use for this project is, no matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again by Buddha. The design of our floral project is we're going to paint our daffodils at the bottom part of this paper, the cote is located at the top. Let's paint first our flower. This is again Fabriano watercolor paper and 200 GSM. I just cut it into half because the size is 9.5 by 129 by 12. Yeah, somewhere around that measurement. Okay. Starting with my brown color, I'm going to random dots. Start by drawing random dots. Grab your orange and just make thin strokes around your brown color. Pick the yellow color, then add six V shapes. Again, the tip of the petal of the daffodil is quite pointed. It's not round. Okay, just make your petal a little bit pointed by the way we are painting loose flowers here, just capturing the idea of the daffodil flower and putting it into our painting, and we're not aiming for a realistic kind of painting. Okay, so that's one daffodil already. I'll draw another one in this side again. If your orange is blending with your yellow, just let them be, let them blend together. It doesn't matter if your petals are not the same or equal sizes. It's also okay if not all your petals are of the same sizes. And one more on this side. Random dots, random, thin strokes. Oops, it's raining while I'm recording, so if you're hearing the rain, I'm so sorry. I hope that it's not too distracting. If then, just mute me for a second while we're painting these daffodil flowers. So this is a full bloom, open daffodil. Now we're going to add stem and leaves, And the leaves of a daffodil is quite long and narrow. I'm going to add thin stroke here. Then another one here. You see, because this petal is still wet, the green just blended with that part. But I'm not bothered, it's totally fine. It will give me a beautiful effect if that happens to you, don't be so. Okay, We're going to draw the leaves using the same brush pen and make sure that it is narrow and long. If this area is still wet, please don't put your hand there, okay? You might smudge the ink and you don't want that because you're going to run your painting. Okay. And then going to have draw a long live there. And I think this is already good. I am not fond of overdoing my artworks. Simple. The better. If you have a yellow color, then we can add more details. To. The way that I add details to my painting is that I just draw strokes. Maybe on this side. Just there, yeah. Just adding random yellow details to add depth and more interest to my afful deal. Then here, sometimes I use pressure, sometimes I just use thin strokes, but I don't overcomplicate this thing. Okay, that's it. This is our daffodil floral project. On the next session, we're going to add o calligraphy here, but make sure that this painting is already dry, okay? 9. Day 1: Daffodils Floral Field: Okay, let's get it on with our daffodil floral project. The code that we are going to use for this project is, no matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again by Buddha. The design of our floral project is we're going to paint our daffodils at the bottom part of this paper, the cote is located at the top. Let's paint first our flower. This is again Fabriano watercolor paper and 200 GSM. I just cut it into half because the size is 9.5 by 129 by 12. Yeah, somewhere around that measurement. Okay. Starting with my brown color, I'm going to random dots. Start by drawing random dots. Grab your orange and just make thin strokes around your brown color. Pick the yellow color, then add six V shapes. Again, the tip of the petal of the daffodil is quite pointed. It's not round. Okay, just make your petal a little bit pointed by the way we are painting loose flowers here, just capturing the idea of the daffodil flower and putting it into our painting, and we're not aiming for a realistic kind of painting. Okay, so that's one daffodil already. I'll draw another one in this side again. If your orange is blending with your yellow, just let them be, let them blend together. It doesn't matter if your petals are not the same or equal sizes. It's also okay if not all your petals are of the same sizes. And one more on this side. Random dots, random, thin strokes. Oops, it's raining while I'm recording, so if you're hearing the rain, I'm so sorry. I hope that it's not too distracting. If then, just mute me for a second while we're painting these daffodil flowers. So this is a full bloom, open daffodil. Now we're going to add stem and leaves, And the leaves of a daffodil is quite long and narrow. I'm going to add thin stroke here. Then another one here. You see, because this petal is still wet, the green just blended with that part. But I'm not bothered, it's totally fine. It will give me a beautiful effect if that happens to you, don't be so. Okay, We're going to draw the leaves using the same brush pen and make sure that it is narrow and long. If this area is still wet, please don't put your hand there, okay? You might smudge the ink and you don't want that because you're going to run your painting. Okay. And then going to have draw a long live there. And I think this is already good. I am not fond of overdoing my artworks. Simple. The better. If you have a yellow color, then we can add more details. To. The way that I add details to my painting is that I just draw strokes. Maybe on this side. Just there, yeah. Just adding random yellow details to add depth and more interest to my afful deal. Then here, sometimes I use pressure, sometimes I just use thin strokes, but I don't overcomplicate this thing. Okay, that's it. This is our daffodil floral project. On the next session, we're going to add o calligraphy here, but make sure that this painting is already dry, okay? 10. Day 1: Calligraphy Quote: Now for the calligraphy part of this project, I'm using a ruler and a pencil to draw guidelines. Because it's really important to have a guidelines when you're doing calligraphy. If you're not yet comfortable with the composition or layout of your caligraphy, you can totally do that on a separate sheet of paper. But for me, I'm going to just draft my layout directly here using my pencil. Throughout this project, we are going to this, we're going to use the bounce lettering style. If you need to learn how to do the bounce lettering style, you can check my workbook simplified bounce lettering to know more about the tips and techniques that I share there on how to do bounce lettering. Okay, I don't follow a certain rule when I'm drawing my guidelines. I just follow my ruler size. Yeah. Depends on you on how big you want your calligraphy size to be. But for me, I'm using small tape brush pen, because big brush pen won't fit in this size of paper that I used. Then for our code, I'll just draft it with my pencil. Okay, so this is my rough sketch of my coat, but it can change once I put ink into it. And of course, the thin and thick strokes of calligraphy. But for now, this layout is already good. I'm going to grab my needed and slightly era of the pencil markings. To match this, I'm going to use an orange color from pental field. Touch in calligraphy, thick down. I'll just trace the sketch that I did earlier. Maybe just some of my wordings at the left side just to give my thick strokes space. Don't forget the author of the code. I'll just draw an extra line here. Make sure I don't mess this up because I have the tendency to write in a slanted way if I don't have my guidelines. And then I'll just wait for this to fully dry and I'll be back and this is our day one project. 11. Brushpen Tulips: Day two of our challenge. Today we'll be painting tulips, which symbolize perfect love and elegance. You'll learn how to create the simple shape of a tulip and how to use color splatters to add interest to our project. By the end of this lesson, you'll have a stunning tulip pattern background to add to your calligraphy projects. You can grab any color that you like. For our tulips practice, I'm going to show you the basic brush strokes that you can use to paint a simple and easy tulip flower. I'm still using my Ren brush marker pro, and this is in scion color 27. To paint a two p all we need to do, I'm going to paint beside the daffodil to demonstrate to you the shape of the to lip. First of all, we're going to draw an inverted obloor oval. Never mind the thin and thick stroke. It doesn't matter if you don't have stroke variations like I have in here. I am just used to exerting or applying heavy pressure whenever my pen is going down because of doing calligraphy. But really it doesn't matter if you have thin up or thick down. Okay, then once you have this shape, we're also going to draw thin up stroke on both sides. You have the three brush markings on your paper, then you're going to wet your paint brush. I'm still using my Princeton heritage size five. This is a round paint brush. I'm just going to wet this paint brush. Tap the excess water so that it won't be, it won't create a puddle of water on my paper. Then I'll just spread this ink to make this the center petal of my tulips. Since my paint brush is still wet, I just use the water to drag the color of the two brush and create petal out of it the same here. I'm just curving and following the brush. As you can see, I am leaving white space here because this indicates the separation of the petals. If you feel like there is a big gap between the two petals, which I feel like there is on this painting, what I'm going to do is just drug colors inside to make the space smaller. This is one way to paint a tulip. I'll use another color to show you another way to paint a tulip with your brush pen. That is to simply create two strokes like this, then wet your paint brush and simply drag the color to create the petal. Okay, so that's it, that's for a war lip petals. Then you can grab a green color. This is olive green to 81. Then from the bottom of this flower, I'll just draw my stem and it's okay if the green bleeds to the pink, it's totally fine. That adds a beautiful effect to your painting. We'll add long lives. Okay. Then we can add thin stroke at the center. This is the exercise that you can practice to paint a simple and quick to lips with your brush band. 12. Day 2: Calligraphy Quote: Our day two class projects, we are going to write first the code in calligraphy. Then we are going to paint tulip florals around it to act like a floral pattern background. And then we'll add some splutters. Since this is going to be a tulip floral pattern, I am choosing three colors for my tulips. I have here pink, which is the service 376. I have bluish color, which is again the ion seven, and an orange red 051. But you can choose any color that you like for this project. I also have two shades of green. Just to add more interest and variation to my leaves, I have here olive green 281 and apple 210. You can check the free caliigraphy template for the code pattern of this project. You can follow that or you can create your own layout, Whatever works best for you. That's totally fine to do. I have again my ruler and I'll just draw my guidelines. Most of the time I am just eyeballing the center of my paper. But if you are a very detailed person, then I suggest that you measure your paper and then find the center of your paper. But for me, since most of my projects are loose and I don't usually for 100% perfection, as long as I achieve my goal and my idea into paper, then that's fine with me. I'm not going to find the center of this paper. But if you want to then do so. I'll just draw my guidelines following the size of my ruler. I am just following the size. You can use a light pad if you want to trace the calligraphy template that is included in this course. Or you can manually add your coat. Like what I'm doing, A drawing guidelines and I'll sketch the coat. Okay. I'll add another line at the bottom. Okay. So this is my guideline. Now I'll draft the code with my pencil. Pencil is my best friend when it comes to anything like flourishing planning code. Whatever project I need to do, I always have to use pencil. Again, the style that I'm using is bounds calligraphy. Okay, so this is my rough sketch of the coat, and of course the author, don't forget that at the bottom. Okay. As you can see, it's not perfectly centered. The flower can be adjusted a little bit to the left. All that I do when I already in it with a brush band, but for now it's okay with me and I'm going to erase it with my needable eraser. Again, I'll be using small brush pen for this. Since two lip pattern background is tricolor, I'm going to use red. Again, I'm using small brush pen. This is the pental fed touch brush pen for my coat. And I'm going to ink this and adjust my letters and strokes accordingly. Okay, so this is the code. And I just realized that red is just perfect for the code. Since we have the word love in here, you can use any brush pen. If you don't feel like using a small tip brush pen, that's okay. Use a bigger brush pen and a bigger size of paper. Of course, don't squeeze this long hold into this size of paper because we still need some room for tulips. Okay, in the next video, we're going to fill the spaces with our tulips. 13. Day 2: Tulips Floral Pattern: Now it's time to paint our tulips. I know what you're thinking. You're afraid that if you paint flowers around this, you might ruin your calligraphy. I've been there. I totally understand that. But you need to do this project, not because it is a requirement, but it will help you to conquer your fear of adding other details to your calligraphy. As I do this, more combining calligraphy and florals, sometimes I do flowers first and then I'll add calligraphy. There were times that it seems like I ruined the floral project like a wreath when I added the calligraphy quote. But that's part of learning. We can never discover our style if we won't explore. Okay, today I challenge you to just go with the flow and let's enjoy the process. Me too, I'm not sure how this is going to turn out, but let's see. I'll pick up first my blue color, which is the scion I'm going to paint here. Maybe just small tulips here, if it helps you. You can also grab a pencil and then just draw some circles. Light circles where you want your flowers to be placed or located. Maybe here. I'll draw stem, another one here, and then we'll just draw some leaves. Okay, let's do this. Okay. Again, to paint the tulip. We'll start with this shape, and then another rushes on the side. Then you wet your paint brush. But not too, you don't want to create a puddle of water on your paper. Then simply drag the colors to make it the petal of your tulips. Okay, one flower done, and I'll add the stem right away so that I can have a smooth blending of ink and of course the leaves. Then I'll add another here. Just tiny brush strokes from your brush pen can turn this into a flower. Then I'll add here, maybe I can make this big. Because the space here is bigger, we can try another variation of tulips instead of rod. I can make this pointed. You see explore. Even if I am doing this already on the final project and not on another scratch paper, whatever the result, so be it. I can just repeat this if I don't like the result. And I like it. The beauty of loose floral painting is it gives you freedom to just make doodles without worrying too much about the details of water painting. It's a flower, it's two lips. Then maybe I'll add another stem here and draw. Let's take another blue color for that. Then I wet my paint brush. I like this one. See if I am not focusing too much on the details. The outcome becomes O. And then I'll grab the lighter color green just to draw smaller leaves, just totally random and to make this balance, because we have light green at the top, I'll also add at the bottom. So I am just making thin stroke and then exert heavy pressure and I am leaving white space at the, in between these two stroke lives to add more interest. I think this is already good, but I'll live here. And another here, maybe there. Now, you know, I am so random in creating my art works. I'll just look at it from afar and see if there is an empty space that draws my eyes on that certain space. For example, at the top and at the bottom, this feels empty. So I added more leaves. This looks nice and balance already. So I'll just let this dry and I'll erase the pencil markings that I did before we add the splatter. Okay. I'll erase now the remaining pencil markings. All right. Now for the splatter part, you can grab your blending palette or your silo bug, whatever that is available to you. You can transfer some in and we'll just activate this with water, but don't blend them altogether. Okay? And I'll go get some blue color on my paint brush. And then just like this, I and rinse my paint brush and get another color. This time I'm getting the orange. Then tap again, the last one is the pink. Okay, so yeah, imperfect platters just add additional effect and loser style to our project. 14. Brushpen Cherry Blossom: Welcome to day three of our brush band Floral Spring Challenge. Today we'll be painting cherry blossoms which symbolize renewal and the fleeting nature of life. You'll learn how to create delicate pink petals and how to paint an easy cherry blossom wreath. Since we are painting cherry blossoms, I pick two pink colors that are different shades. The first one is a pale pink 220 and the other is a darker pink service 375. If you don't have these exact colors or you don't have two different shades of pink, you can use even just one shade of pink to paint our cherry blossom. This is a super simple, I love simple floral painting with brush fence. I have here my lighter pink. Then we'll just draw V shapes like so. Then I'm going to wet my paint brush. Then just drag these colors to paint the petals. The shape of this petal is it's a bit round at the top, but you don't need to make this perfect to make this interesting. I use a darker pink shade with my wet paint brush. Just drag it to form the petal. I'm not worrying too much about the shape of this. And then one here, basically we are painting five petal flower. We are using the technique to paint the five petal flower, to paint our cherry blossoms. Just quick and simple brush strokes of your paint brush will do, That's already good. Now we'll add the brunch I have here, my brown color, which is sandstone 174. Then I'll just connect that with a brunch by just drawing lines here and there. You can combine it with thick stroke, thin stroke, and some wiggly strokes to make it look like a brunch. We can add green for the leaves. This is curry 297. I choose a muted green color for this. It looks like brown also. Okay, so that's our cherry blossom. Now, in the next video, we are going to draw a cherry blossom. Th 15. Day 3: Cherry Blossom Wreath: Since we are painting a cherry blossom wreath, we need to use a compass. Or if you don't have a compass, any circular object that you can trace for your wreath. I also located the center of my paper, but it's not too, it's not perfectly centered. But that's totally fine with me. Depending on how big you want your wreath to be, just make sure that it fits on the paper size that you are using. This is the size that I like for my wreath because it still has space at the side of my paper. Okay, now I'll just draw the circle. Okay, now it's time to fill this circle with a cherry blossoms. The process is simple. We are going to paint five petal flower here, a series of five metal flower here. And then we'll repeat the pattern that we did here four times on this side, side, side, and on this side. Okay. Let's start. If your pencil markings is a bit dark, you can use your needed as to just lighten it a bit, but make sure that you can still follow your circular shape so that your wreath won't be all over the place. It's not visible in the camera, But I still have my circle here. You can see I'm going to paint five petal flower here. We can also vary the sizes of our five petal flower to make it look more interesting. Again, it doesn't matter if it's if your five petal flower or not perfectly spaced together, that's okay. And make your petals loser by just dragging your paint brush. You can see I'm just doodling my petals here. I'm not worried. If it's not perfect, then I'll add another one on this side. This time it's the darker pink. Okay. Now I'll add the branch, and I'm following the circular shape of my pencil. Actually, you can use the same brown color to make the leaves. You don't have to get another green color for that, like what I did here. Okay, then I'll repeat this pattern or maybe change it a little bit on this side. Since I ended with a darker color pink, I'm using again, a pale pink. I'll add another darker pink. Still drawing V shapes to form my five petal flower. But when I activate this pigment with water, using my paint brush, I'm really making the petals perfect. The loser it is the better. Sometimes you can use just for V shapes, doesn't matter. Okay. And then grab my brown, then connect them. Okay. And now I'll finish these two sides. Random movie shapes, loose brush strokes. Sometimes you can make them like they're overlapping with each other. The petals won't always be complete here. This petal is a little bit shorter than the others because that's hidden by this flower. Then I'll grab my brown color and one on this side. You can rotate your paper if you need to that you won't much the ink if this part is still web or you can grab a tissue paper also to cover this. Since I don't have a tissue paper and I have an extra paper here, I'll just use this. See, I am not overthinking with my brush strokes. I feel like this one is a little closer to this. That's why I have a big space here. But that's okay. We can add just random, close that with another branch on that area. Okay. So yeah, even if it's not a perfect circle, this is totally fine with me. It looks more organic. I took my app to 10. This is light green because I don't like the color of curry. Then I'll add some leaves, but I won't fill this whole width with leaves. I'll just add on some awkward spaces to fill those empty spaces. Where is it, the silly killer? Okay, so this is our cherry blossom wreath. And we can add details to our flowers. Just add dots at the center. If you're already satisfied with your cherry blossom wreath, let's go and add our calligraphy coat. 16. Day 3: Calligraphy Quote: Okay, so now let's add our calligraphy code. Don't forget to use a guideline to make sure that your calligraphy strokes are consistent. Okay, now I have my guidelines inside my cherry blossom wreath. Now it's time to add our code. Remember, you can trace the calligraphy code on the template provided on this class. I'm using a pink color to match the theme of our cherry blossom wreath. I'll just trace the calligraphy code. Okay, and again, wait for the pencil markings to dry and you're finished. 17. Brushpen Hydrangea: It's day four of our challenge. And today we'll be painting hydronjas which symbolize gratitude and heartfelt emotion. You learn how to create the unique shape of a Hydronja by using the techniques of painting. A five petal flower also cover how to use the blending method to create a beautiful gradient colors. By the end of this lesson, you'll have a gorgeous hydra watercolor border to partner your calligraphy with. Instead of practicing on a separate piece of watercolor paper, we are going to paint directly on our project paper. Because painting hydronga consists of only painting with the five petal flower. And we've already practiced that earlier when we painted our cherry blossom with the same techniques that we are going to use when we paint the hydranga. Since the form of a hydronga is circular and we are going to paint a border for our project. I have here a circular object. It's not too big. Just enough for my hydra flower to fit on my paper. This is my paper. We are going to paint hydroga on this side and then it's going to be a border. We'll paint on the bottom left side of my paper and draw a circle here. You can grab any circular or circular object that you have at home. Then I'll just fill this circle with five petal flower. I'll be using two colors, one light blue and one dark blue. The shades are Arctic blue 264 and Egyptian blue 35. I'll just fill this circle with five petal flower constantly alternating between these two colors. So I'll start from the center with my V shapes, and then I'll add some V shapes randomly, some will be cut off by the circle. Then I'll go ahead and activate this with water and turn them into petals. Then I'll rinse my brush and do this lighter blues. So it's okay if the petals overlap from one another. Don't worry, they can touch each other. The goal is to fill this circle with five petal flower. And if there are still some spaces, continue filling it with some strokes to make this fuller. This time you don't have to worry that it should be a complete five petal flower. It should be just random strokes to fill in the empty spaces. Here I am, spreading the ink from this random shapes and filling it, the spaces with this ink. Okay. And then let this dry first and then we'll add another layer. All right, once this is already dry, make sure that it's dry. Before we add the second layer, you can just grab your darker blue and draw random V shapes to make this fluffier. So what we did is just add a new layer of five petal flowers to flower. This is so easy, right? It's so relaxing to just put some brush pen ink on the watercolor paper and then just activate it with water and then it can magically turn into a. If you feel like you're having a creative block or you just don't know do with your brush pens, then definitely try painting with them. Okay, so I think this is already good. This is our hydranga. Now we're adding a border here. 18. Day 4: Hydrangea Floral Border: I have here two sets of green apple 210 grass 253 and sky blue six to one. What we're going to do next is to draw like our ribbon coming out here. And the same on this side. You can start with thin, then you can exert heavy pressure. And then thin, we'll do the same here. I'll just rotate my paper. Okay, so you now have a border. And then we can add leaves here. Can add Ig leaves. And let's repeat that on this side. Draw a thin stroke, exert heavy pressure. And then you seeing another shade of blue, we can add smaller leaves. Okay, so our Hydrogo floral border project is now complete and now we're going to add our code to this area. 19. Day 4: Calligraphy Quote: Okay. You know the drill. We need to draw guidelines first. Since this green leaf is not yet dry, I have smudged it, but this is okay. It's part of the process. Maybe I can just paint more leaves to this later. So that's why it's really important to use a tissue paper or any paper to cover the things to cover this part, because I am really impatient, this happens. But if you're a patient, then let the painting be fully dry first, before you add your calligraphy code. I'll just continue with my code. Writing the code here. I ran out of guidelines, so I'll just draw some more. So this is how I do my artworks raw and unfiltered. Now, going to erase pencil markings, and I'm going to use blue color from pentel, fed, touch pen. Actually, I can still adjust it here. I can still one line above so that it won't be crowded on this area. Okay, let's do this. Since I feel like there is so much face here at the bottom, I would like to add some leaves here, like what we did here. I rotate the paper and just add my big leaves there. It looks more balanced now. 20. Brushpen Roses: Welcome to the final day of our brush pen floral challenge. Today we'll be painting roses which symbolize love, beauty, and passion. You'll learn how to paint roses with a simple strokes from your brush pen. And how to use water to create soft, delicate petals. By the end of the class, you'll add your coat to the rose geometric. For this class, you can choose any color of the brush pan that you like for your roses and for your leaves. This class, we will need an extra pen. I have here a gel pen from a, But if you don't have a gold gel pen, any regular pen will do to create the border of your wreath. To start with, I'm going to draw three circles to locate the ross of my wreath. Then I have here my leaves. Then for the geometric read, it's not really necessary that you draw a perfect square or hexagon. Because we are doing florals and modern art work, we're just going to eyeball border for this. But later we are going to use ruler to make sure that our lines are straight. I just want to have that I know where I am going. This is my square or rectangle. Later we're going to draw some other irregular shapes here for our geometric with I think this is good for now. It's just a rap sketch of the geometric. We'll work on this later. Now let's paint the roses. I have a purple theme in mind. I have chosen purple colors for this project. I have red eight violet blue 688, and pale violet 247. I'll start with the setter to create the rose. All we need to start with is to create or draw brush markings of C shape. Let's erase first some of the pencil markings if it's too dark, so that it won't show up when we already paint with our brush pens. Okay, this will do now. We are going to start with the or just draw C shape that overlaps each other. I'm going to zoom in a little bit so that you can see much better. Then with this, we're going to add bigger C shapes, still overlapping. Make sure that this brush markings are pigmented enough because the brush markings are the only brush markings that you need to create your whole and then wet your paint brush. Now for that center, we are not going to activate that. All that we're going to activate is the three petals that we did. Just follow the curve. Then from this pigment, you can grab again another pigment from that center. And then continue to create petals. Larger petals. You can also wiggle your paint brush to create variation of your roses. As you move farther away from the center, the petals are being lighter. Don't worry if it's not a perfect circle for me, this is already good. Now let's jump into the next rose. I choose another color for the second rose that I'm going to add on the side. This one, it's going to be a little bit smaller shapes, another three shapes. I'll go over it to make sure that I have enough pigment. Then we your paint brush. Let's activate this with water. You see I'm following the curve of the C stroke. Add another one here. You can deal your paint brush to add interest to your petals. And then I think I'll just use same color on the other side. Make sure that you don't touch this if it's still wet with your hand so that it won't smudge. Remember, we are creating loose florals, lose roses. Don't worry if it's not a perfect shape of a rose. The important thing is that you leave white spaces in between the petals so that it won't become a blob. Okay, so you now have three roses. In the next video, we're going to add leaves and complete this geometric, I'll see there. 21. Day 5: Rose Wreath: Now let's add leaves to the roses. I'm going to grab my blending palette. And A green, I'm going to use olive B447, transfer some pigment here. Actually, I would like to try blending it with a lighter green. This one is olive green 281. Let's just see what will happen. I like this shade of green. This combination. If you don't like the green color that comes with your brush pen set, feel free to combine and blend some colors. Now we are going to start with bigger leaves. I'm going to just to here and here. I'm still using the same paint brush. I'm going to draw a stem and a bigger leave, another one here and here. We'll do the same on this side. And of course, we are going to add leaves in between these roses to remember what we practiced in the previous lessons. To create your leaves just the belly of your paint brush. To create thicker strokes for the stem, you can start with thin up stroke the belly and then do the same on the opposite side. You can leave white space between the two stroke leaf. Or you can fill it in like what I did here. It depends on you. Then I'll continue to fill this with more leaves here. I'm going to add triangular leaves here as well. The symmetry of your painting doesn't really need to be perfect. As long as you think that the leaves are already doing its job to fill in the empty spaces, then that's already good. Wait for a few minutes to let the leaves dry and then we'll add another layer to create variation. And to add more interest to this painting, choose another shade of green, a lighter green or a darker green compared to the shade of green that you use. For the first set of leaves that we painted, I am choosing apple 210. Then we'll add small leaves or filer leaves to add more interest to the painting, so you can draw it on top of the first leaves that you fainted. Let's add here. I'm going to add another one here. Smaller leaves. Hey, this is already good for me, but if you feel like there are other empty spaces that your painting has, feel free to add more leaves. Okay, now that it is fully dry, grab your gold pen, or any regular pen that you have, a ruler and let's complete the geometric Th, so be careful not to paint over the leaves or any part of your painting. Sometimes your gold ink can sit on the edge of your ruler. All you have to do is grab a tissue paper and then wipe the edge. Okay, so you don't go all the way to the leaves. Okay. So skip those paintings. Okay. So I have my first frame, Now I'm going to add another frame. Okay, So now we have two layers. If you feel like adding more, you can do so. If you please plan first with a pencil or you can just be bold and brave enough, like me to just go with it. Let me just fix some of the shape here so that it won't look like it's broken there. I hope that you like your geometric wreath. And let's jump into the next video to write our code. 22. Day 5: Calligraphy Quote: Okay, so I grab another ruler because my first ruler has some gold inks on the edge. And I don't want to smile to this artwork. So I'm just going to draw my guidelines. And then I'll draft the coat. And then of course, we'll need to erase some of the pencil markings. And I'll use purple color to match the theme of this. At so this part right here, I need to cut the word because it won't fit in. So I'll just continue it on the next line. Now I'll wait for this to fully dry and then I'll erase the pencil markings and we're finished with a challenge. Congratulations. 23. Final Thoughts: Congratulations my lovely student. You made it to the end of the brush Pen blooms challenge. I hope you had as much fun as I did painting these beautiful spring flowers with our trusty brush pens. But the journey doesn't end here. I encourage you to keep practicing and exploring your own style. Even beyond this challenge, don't let the lack of materials or experience hold you back from pursuing your creativity. Before we part ways, I want to ask you a favor. I would love to see your completed projects. Please applaud them in the comment section of each lesson. Or share them on Instagram. And tag me at seven brush strokes. Wait to see what you've created and share it with our community.
