1. Intro: Holiday cards are a reflection of your sentiments during the holiday season, and often make family and friends feel better. You can make someone smile with a heartfelt message or a funny photograph. They can't get anywhere else. Let's make your friends and family more special. This ear, by making handmade God's. My name is Mohit Center and I'm an acrylic artists based India. So here we will be creating for beautiful Christmas cards, which you can easily create and gifted to your loved ones. So let's start with this Christmas magic of creating beautiful gods. 2. Materials Required: So let's discuss about the materials which will be needing for making these cards. So fosters this envelop and discard shapes. Brushes, synthetic, and Bristol brushes. These are paid through colors which I'm using here, apart from this end, then the ballot tissue paper and this container, water container. Then this decode transfer. After that, this bunch. And finally this one. So let's start with creating these beautiful cards for Christmas. 3. First Card Painting: Hello all. So let's start with a first-class. Let's first talk about the materials. So this is the sheet which I'm using it as of 6 ". This is the transfer page. The code runs per page. And these are the colors that is lavender and beach. This is from rostral and white color. And this flat brush, this sponge. And then the masking tape to tape it around. And this palette, apart from that one more color, we will be using that as gray. So these all up is two shades, which I'm using from Bruce, true. Let's first taper down. So this is, I'm just taping it all around. So that gives a nice border to the paint, which we will be doing here. So this is like a mixed media painting. You can save your, we will be doing the background with acrylic color. And with the Deco, transfer page, you will be transferring that flowerpot. So this is the whole scenario. Let's first tape it down properly. So if you're not having these basic shapes, you can always make it from your own acrylic colors. So what I'm doing is I'm just taping it, but equal level of that masking tape. And just making the border of this whole sheet. This is actually, oh God. So now let's start with the painting. So let's take out the colors. That is lavender, white, beach, and one more color. We'll be using that as for zoo, or you can say gray color. So this is the fossil color which is written and rostral part is actually gray color. Let's start with the background painting. So for the background painting, I'll be using this for the middle line for the table pad. So I'm just pasting that masking tape in-between. So now we'll start with the painting with the same flat brush. I'll just dip the flat brush in water and remove extra water. And we'll take the colors was little bit of white and black window and just mixing it. And we'll apply it on the top. And from the top. As we'll go down, we'll move towards the peach color. Stop lying. You can see how much water I've taken. It's very little amount and I'm just taking take amount of color and I'm just applying in the background. Now as we go down, we'll be adding little bit of this peach color as well, so that the color changes gradually. We can see I'm just adding white and beach as I'm going down. Now adding more amount of peach and white. And just applying one layer and also blending both the colors. So you can only blend the colors when both the colors are wet. If the above color has dried up, then again, apply one layer of color and then blend it. So this is the technique which we do in acrylics. You can also use your oil paints, but don't use gouache colors because when you apply that deco transfer, the colors will come out. So it's better to use. Acrylic colors or oil colors. So once we are done with the top part, now we will start with the lower part. So now you can see I'm just redoing that background so that it becomes quite opaque. And finishing is also nice. So now we'll start with the lower part. The lower part will be completely white. So before that will just take out that tape. Or we can do without taking out that tape, just applying that pure white color to the bottom. But now once we are done with the border sheets, that is the background and the foreground. Now let's take out that tape slowly. Just very slowly you need to take out that day because that John says that if the papers tend their chances that paper can come out so better take 300 plus GSM paper, then only you will be able to take out that paper nicely. So don't take thin paper. Otherwise, that texture will not come up. And John says that the paint can be transferred on the other side of the paper also. So better use take paper. You can see how slowly I'm just taking out this tape. And then I'll apply the background color over it. In. See, I'm just applying that beach and white color over it. We'll also try to blend the colors. But first I'm just filling that gap, which is between the foreground and the background of white. And I'm just trying to blend the color by using little water and just applying on the above. Just slowly. Move your brush. And then again, taking that lighter color because that lavender color has dried up. So I'm just adding to it and just trying to blend the entire thing. Now once we are done with this whole blending part, we leave this as a test. Once it has dried up, then we will use that decode transfer page. All these products I have bought from itsy-bitsy. You can also buy it from that. Or if you have, you can also buy it from Amazon if you like, because there are many products which cell that the code transfers. So this is just applying another layer of white or it. And I will leave it to dry. And once it does ride, then we will apply that the code runs full page. 4. First Card Detailing: Welcome back. So now the Says completely dry off. Dry it off. So you can see it's not coming in my hand. So now I'll use this transport page. I've taken three cutouts. These are butterflies and this is the wires with the flowers. So I'm just taking out different that plastic dict around and then I'll place it in such a way that that white portion is like a table. So very gently press it. And similarly, I'll just paste these two butterflies also. Make sure that you do the cutouts properly because when you transfer this image, there are the shapes which comes out to better. You cut out in a proper shape as the pictures. So now with this point, I'm just dipping it into water. Just dipping the sponge into water and it's completely wet. And I'll just apply it on the top of this deco transfer. Take more water. Trying to keep water on this area only gnawed on that beach. Just applying a lot of water to it. This point. Similarly to those two butterflies also in C, I'm just trying to take out that page. So slowly you need to rub your finger and take out this page. On the upper, this is the upper layer of that image which I'm trying to take out and remove this extra people, mic's coming out. Do it very gently, advisor chances of getting damaged. So takeout very gently. If it has dried up, then again applied relative mode of water do with your finger and then gently rub it. Says one way of taking out this quadrants for there is another way. We'll do it in the next painting, or maybe in the third painting. So this is the one technique. Very slowly. You need to take out this upper layer gently without pressing it very hard, very lightly, you need to take out these papers. And similarly we will be doing for the other two butterflies also. See that little bit of blur image. We need to take out more of one more layer of papers there so that also we need to take it out. So very take water and very lightly just rub that people. Let's remove that extra papers which are coming. And then again start again. Take water in and just applied above. And again. See, now it is coming out very gently. You have to do it very lightly. You can do with pre-op brush also if you want. But I prefer doing it with my finger. So very slowly you need to take out the entire paper, which is above this image. Suggest, enjoy, and follow the process. You can see this lower portion is almost done. So now we'll just do the upper flowerpot. You can see how slowly am doing it so that that image is not damaged. Once this full board is done, we'll do the butterflies also. Eddie's gently, you need to take out the page. I'm using both of my hands to remove the layer very gently. Just the upper left. Once this is done, we'll do with the butterfly. This is very small part, so you need to take out the pages very carefully and apply water only on that area. This is almost coming out. I think one more layer is there, which needs to come out. See I'm using my brush also to take this layer of paper out slowly. Now this is done. Now there's one more butterfly which is left. So just remove that extra papers and clean it up. Now, just take it out too slowly. So very slowly I'm doing it. Let's see if it comes out properly. Now you can see that it has bid, got damaged. So what I'll do is I'll just remove this butterfly because it does not stick and dilate. So I'll just try to remove it easily but water. And then we'll just remove the extra paper which is coming and just clean the area. 5. First Card Final Detailing: So now before applying the varnish, what we'll do here is we'll just create a little bit of shadow of that was which is reflecting on that white portion. Here. I'll be just using that gray that as default color. And I'll just mixed a little bit tough, very little amount of gray and a little bit of white mix. And I'll just create little bit of shadow effect in the lower portion with my flat brush. And after that, we will do the varnishing part. But makes sure that deep and dial painters dried off, then only use the varnish. Now for the one niche, I'm using your liquidity sat and one niche. And with my normal synthetic brush, I'll be just doing the varnishing part. Just apply a little bit off, drops off that satin varnish, and I'll just apply it very gently on the entire thing. So that deco page transfer is also fixed. Just applying a layer of varnish and I leave it to dry. Once this is dry it off your handmade goddess. Ready, simple, easy, and very quick. You don't have to do so much of hard work in this. Once I've applied this entire layer, I'll just remove this whole masking tape. Let's talk very slowly and in the very slanting way you have to take it down. Otherwise, the chances of people coming out. So you can see a little bit off, people are stuck over there. So what I'll do is I apply L, apply just water over it with my brush so that it gets stick to it. So you can see now it does not visible more. And once it gets dried off a glue stick to that page. So again, very slowly and in a very diagonal direction, you need to take it out. This masking tape. Once this entire deep is taken out, you can see how beautiful this border is looking. Your first card is ready. 6. Second Card Painting: Welcome back. So let's start with a new God. Now this time I have taken this white background dissolve 6 " paper. So this is D and lime, green color and white color. And this is the pen, green pen, and this is the Deco transfer, the cutout, that is the deals. And these are the brushes. So let's start. That is the liner, fan brush and flat brush. So let's start with the painting now. With the flat, also the sponge be needing. So these are the colors. Let's start with the painting with my flat brush. I'll just dip it in water and take white first and mix it with deal. Very little amount of T, like 90% white and 10% of teal. And we'll start with the middle part. And as we go on these sides, the darkness of the color, the value of the color increases, means it becomes more dark as we go to the corner of the gods. So likewise, we have to do both the sides and in between we need to leave it quite dark. So now you can see the shade and also you need to do the blending of the colors when you are doing this. Because blending is very important when you are doing such type of painting, and especially with acrylic. Acrylic, you have to do the blending when the color is wet, otherwise you'll not be able to blend the colors. And you can see this side is done. Now I'm just doing the other side. And as I'm going towards the end, the color is becoming darker. So this is how you need to apply the colors and simultaneously blended the colors. Just washing off my brush, removing excess of water. And then starting to blend the colors because my colors are already wet. So I'm just taking this side little bit of more of teal and just removing the colors and then starting to blend the color again, middle, it will more of white. And just trying to blend the entire area in the vertical direction. So you can see this middle part is quite bright. So that, that's what I'm trying to do here. Just removing excess of water again and then again, blending the color. Remove. Before blending the color, remove the excess of water, dry a little bit with your napkin and then start blending it. Then you will see the finished look of the blending. Now we'll start with the bottom part. So for the bottom part, we will be using the fan brush, you're whale. So this is the fan brush, Bristol fan brush of size two and a little bit of white also have added too wet. And I'm just applying. But the tip of the brush, the details just covering this lower part. So this is also very easy painting, just you need a little bit more all knowledge of blending. There are many classes in which I've taught about the blending of colors. You can see that now once we are done with the coloring part, now let's start with the detailing. That are the trees and the grasses. The more amount of deal now. And then let's start with my liner brush creating the trees and the branches. So just taking this teal color and creating the tree trunks and branches, you can see all these coloring I'm just doing with the base color from Bruce, true. You can also try it out. These are very nice colors. And if you don't have pastry colors, you can always mix the acrylic colors and make it. So just creating horizontal lines first. So just horizontal lines, it can be ten whatever. So as we go in the middle of the lines are quite light. Now the branches, just random branches, I'm creating urine there. You need to create this same type of branches you can create like any type. But it needs to be a little bit, little bit off, a little bit of dense. So just try to create the branches. Once we are done with creating the branches will create the leaves also. So whenever you are creating these lines, try to make it a little bit of watery and then create the lines. No, I have not created too much of the branches. So now let's start with the leaves. So here is the fan brush, which I'll be using, just applying on the tip of the brush and just dabbing my brush, just off the brush and creating these textures. As you can see. It's trying to fill this entire area. And it'll bit down also so that it looks quite filled with leaves and branches. Now let me read off grasses also. Met my liner brush. So this painting is almost complete, which are just left with the decor transform. And we are done with this God. So you can see it's had contains both the painting basic level, as well as some creativity added to it. Just chatting little bit lighter shade of leaves in between so that looks filled. So now we are done with the painting bud. So let's start with the next part. 7. Second Card Final Detailing: So now this has completely dried up. So now we will be using that take co-transport. And this is the cute deals. So let's start with the transport part. So I'm just taking out this plastic from that top plastic which is coated on that image. And I'm just, what I'll do is I'll just paste it very gently in the middle. Nicely. Just pasted and with the same spawned. I'll just read the sponge and then again read the entire that deco transfer part. The same process. We need to repeat it, which we have done earlier. For the first card, which we did, same technique you're using. So just enjoy the process and do it very slowly. And only wet the area which is this cutout part, dawn to wet your oh, that God that God page on which you have done the painting. So only do on this area. And then slowly remove it. Now this is one move form here you can put Christmas tree also, or you can put sand also. You can put any TeddyBear also. Everything will look fine. So I chose this cute little detours, which I felt it's looking cute in there. And then disquiet a forest team, misty forest type of look. Have chosen this image. You can choose any image, whatever you want. Or even if you can draw it, It's up to you. So just I'm just slowly removing the page which is above. That is the people which is above this. This is very bachelor level painting, which I have done in the background so that everyone can try it. So slowly. You can see it's coming out. Now once this entire thing has can see it's done. So now what we'll do is just add a little bit of grass below. But this pen, this is normal gel pen that is green in color gel pen and I'll just create some grasses below with this pen. You can use any green pen, whatever you like. Or you can leave it, as it is. Says, done completely. If this painting also we will do the varnishing part. But before doing any one niche, makes sure that your complete painting is dry. Then only do the varnishing bud. Now let's take out this masking tape. And likewise, the one hashing part, which we did earlier in the first god painting. We will need to do it here, but I'm not showing it here, but you need to do it so that that image gets protected. Otherwise, the chances that the image can come out. So it's better you should gets completely stick to this people. So this is our second God, which is ready. And now we will begin with the third God that is off for Christmas tree. So let's start. 8. Third Card Painting: So now let's start with our next card. So these are the materials which we'll be using, the steel, this gray color, white color. And these are the brushes that is fan brush, liner brush, and that is the blender brush, the sponge, and the Deco transfer. This is the Christmas tree and the palate. So let's start painting. First. I'm using the sponge and I'll create round shapes. You can also use blender brush if you want. You don't have the sponge. I'm just applying little bit of wet water on it. And I'll directly take the color and mix a little bit of gray toward like a grayish de Gallo you can see. And then we'll create circuits. So let's start with the process of creating these circles first. You can also apply with the your brush or directly from the palette. You can take the color and just take the coloring properly and then dab it on your paper and just roll it in the clockwise direction. So this is how I'm just going to create like the snow if background effect. So first the dark color and then on the top of that I will layer the lighter color. So this is how I'm going to fill the entire area. So very easy process of creating the fog effect or blur effect you can see in any painting. So this spawned you can easily created. If you don't have spawned, you can create with your blender brush also, or with your round brush. Both are equally good. But with this sponge it creates another look. But it's perfectly fine if you are creating with your round brush or the blender brush. I'm trying to fill the entire area which is white, leaves little bit of portions so that when we layer, we can layer on these areas which I left out because this is darker color. And after that we will be using the lighter version of it. So these are very simple cards which you can gift to your tailwinds. You can create it in a, I think in just half an hour or so. So these are very easy and quick cards you can say you can create an bundle and you can give to your dear ones. So you can see I've just left view spaces also have not completely folded. So now using more of white, little bit of gray and teal, I'm just mixing the color. Just mixing the color. And then again, I'll use that sponge for creating this. So you can see just creating the circles on the areas which are already left out. And I'm also leaving the below color also so that both the colors are visible. It's not like I'm covering the entire first layer, am leaving some portions. Now once we are done with the entire thing will create some pine trees. And then we are done with the painting part. So just enjoy and follow the process. If you want to learn acrylic, the beginner level class in detail, you can always DM me on my Instagram that is more neon gallery. I take seven days of beginner level classes also. So you can see I've just covered the entire area, leaving few spaces in-between for the darker shade also. Once this is done, just leaving, checking that the corners also taken care. Otherwise it will not look like the borders. So better take care of the corners as well. Because that is also important. Now with my blender brush, I'll create a little bit smaller circles. You can see just taking more of white and my, as my widest finished. Just taking my blender brush and a little bit of teal and white mix, I'm just creating small, small circles. Just take very little amount of color and wet your brush but remove excess of water, don't use too much water in it. Otherwise, you'll spoil your painting and just create small, small circles here and there. And you're almost done with this circling part. Just taking care of these bases, or if there's some spaces left behind at the corners. So we are done with this background part. And this background is almost dried up because, you know, acrylic dries very fast. So now I'm using my fine brush to create the pine tree. But first I'll create the lines with just white and a little bit of teal mix color. Just creating the more of white and less of t should be there. So just creating the lines to create the pine trees. I'm not creating in the middle because I have to paste that deco, transfer that Christmas tree. So just on the sides I will be creating the pine trees, just creating small and big lines, vertical lines. And then we will be using our fan brush and just taking the tip of it and does a dry brush, completely dry brush. And just need to use your tip of the brush and create these lines in a zigzag manner. You can see how I'm moving the brush in the zigzag manner. So this is one of the easiest technique of creating the pine trees. So once we are done with this pine tree creation, we will be doing the Deco patch, but that is a deco transfer. But first, we have to wait for this entire paint to dry off, and then we can do that deco transfer. So this tree part is, we'll do it later, but I'm just saying little bit wide also and just sprinkling little bit of sparkles urine there with this white color. Just sprinkling dots with my fan brush. So now let's start with a deco transfer. 9. Third Card Final Detailing: So now this is completely dried off now. So now we can start with D deco transfer. So make sure that it is completely dried. It away is the whole painting will be ruined. So just taking out that upper plastic and then we'll paste it. So just pasting it in the middle. And then now this is the, another method of taking out the paper. Just put that sponge full of water on the top of it. Lots of water on it. Just only on that area where you have put that deco transfer and until that is more like translucent. So you can see I'm just applying water to it more and more. So just applying it to very carefully so that I don't want the water to be on the paper because that is that may affect the paper also. So I'm just applying it only on that deco transfer page. Now you can see that translucent tree part is a little bit too visible. So let little bit more water will apply. On the sides also. Very carefully you need to apply this water. Now you can see it does easily drifting by. And you need to be very careful by while taking out that page because it's quite thin. And their chances that you can take out that transfer all sorts of very carefully. Just take out. You can see I'm just trying to take that page out very slowly because it's like a sticker that sticks on the paper so you can see it's coming out. So I'll leave that area and I'll take it out from the bottom part. So just trying very slowly to take that part out. So just lifting the paper with my hand. And here we go. And so this is the Christmas tree. And now we'll create some more trees on the sides because it is quite blank. So I'll just fill in that side AD over the Christmas tree with the pine trees. Just taking more of white to Daniel white. And now I'll be creating a little bit more of pine trees on these sites. So in this case I'm just using the white color. And I'd also overlap this background tree, also. Just creating lines with my liner brush. To do three pine trees, I'll be creating of different sizes. And now with the same technique like with the same fan brush, that is the dry fan brush. I'll be creating the leaves just in a zigzag manner. You have to go start from these small, smaller leaves and then as you go down that the gloves should be bigger but in the zigzag manner. So both the sides, I will be creating this similar pine trees you can see similarly on the other side also, I'll be creating the pine trees just you need to move depression those exact form. And you can see just a little bit of grasses below. And it's almost done. So just creating little bit of textures on the up. And one-star also we'll be creating. Because that is the special star. The star. And a good bit of dots suggests these star and little bit of dots also, I'll be creating just random dots urine there to create some study night effect. Or you can say snowfall effect. So we almost, at the end of this painting and after one hashing it, it does all done. But before varnishing it, you need to remember that this entire painting has to be dried up first. And then only you need to manage the entire painting. The sprinkling some more whites on the top. So we are most complete. This painting is almost complete. Just the varnishing is left. And if you're painting has been dried off, you can varnish it now also because acrylic dries very fast, so it's fine if it has dried, you can. One I should, but if it is not dry and you'll live in cold place, then don't varnish it before it gets dried off. So now it's completely dried off. So now here I'll use my Liquitex Satin varnish. And this is the brush which I'm using here. And just few drops of liquid here and there. First in the middle. I'll apply so that it pastes nicely. And then also L apply on the sides. Few drops only because it does not big papers. So I'll just cover the entire area. This is the synthetic flat brush which I'm using. It is of good quality brush, which I'm using here for varnish. So you can get it in any store in Amazon also. So now, once this is done, let's take out that masking tape and see how it looks with the white borders around. Just slowly take out this tape because there are chances that people can come out so very slowly you need to take out this table. I hope you guys are enjoying this garden making. And if you are making the cost to share your project works. And you can also tag me on Instagram that is more in the art gallery. And I'm also on Facebook that is with more creation. You can also tag me there as well. Again, see this little bit paper came out. So what I'll do is I'll just put a little bit of water on it and just plane. And this is one technique which I showed you earlier. So same technique I'll be using you, but try not to take out the papers on the sides. Be very careful. So finally, we are done with the third guard. So let's begin with the last card. 10. Fourth Card Sketching: So now let's start with our last God. So here we will be needing pencil eraser and the scale for drawing like the rough sketch. So we'll be, we'll be drawing tool on which the red and the belts will be there. So this is the Deco transfer sheet which I have already cut. I'm just taking care of the size of this red so that I can create a little bit bigger door so that it can fit into it. A little bit bigger dole on the board decides you have to create. Let's first create the rectangle shape. On the board decides I'm creating vertical line and above also the horizontal line joining these creating a rectangle shape. And little bit of the creating the pattern lines on both the sides with almost 1 cm, you can say, or half a centimeter, not more than that. To create. This is bit tens, so I'm just creating little bit bigger. The drawing part takes a little time, but it is not very tough drawings, so just a simple dual via creating. So we'll decorate the door like we decorate and Christmas. So just a round shape so far as creating the center line. And the half circle, I'll be creating above. So by creating that center line, it becomes easier to create that half circle. Now once this half circle is done, we will be creating small squares and in-between these doors. So double line. These are just the rough drawing which I'm doing here. And then after that, we will be painting it. So first let's draw it, and then we'll start with the painting. Now here, there are boxes, shapes. So when double line on the top and then the boxes below. So just creating the again double line on the sides to create a border of this door. And then creating the boxes. So this is a very simple drawing which is just creating these boxes, these three boxes on both the sides. And we'll draw the vertical line joining these boxes. Once we are done with the drawing, we will be painting and also discussing what all colors we will be needing to paint this. So two to three colors we will be needing your white, of course they will be there. And to what repays two colors, which we will be needing to paint this entire thing. So once this circle, you can also create with the, you can say the masking tape circle, half circle. If you don't know how to create like particular round circles or half circle you can create with this also. You can check it is so proper circle or not. The top of that there is a border of break which I'm just giving a little bit of shape to it. But eventually I'll be painting the bricks and the wall painting. So just creating a bit bigger circle on the top of it. So this is sketching is almost done. And now we're good to go for painting. 11. Fourth Card Painting: So now let's first discuss about the materials which I'll be using here. So these are the cutouts which I'll be using here. So this is the bed and this is the boss which I'll be putting out the door. And these are the brushes which I'll be using, the flat brush and this round bristle brush, creating textures. And the liner brush also. And then white color, gray color. And this is the burnt umber but tear descend color, estrogen, rostral, technical pen and pencil. So the sponge and the palate. So these are the materials which we will be needing for this painting. Let's start with the paintings. So here this is my filbert brush. Or you can use plaid brush also. And just take a little bit of clay and sand color. And if you don't have sand color, you can use raw umber and mixed it with white to it. It will become sort of sand color. And we'll be just first start with the painting of the store. Just blocking in the outer part. Very slowly. You have to do it. And make sure that you don't dig out the colors beyond those lines. Do it very slowly. Take your time. I'm just adding little white also to it. So apart from all the three costs, this will, It's a little time-consuming, but the result is very beautiful. So I think you must, you should try out this beautiful painting. So just blocking in this outline of the door, leaving these blocks in between. You need to do it slowly and gently. And you can see, I have not added mature water adjust my brush. Brush was red and I'm just taking the color. That much amount of water you need when you are doing acrylics until unless you are doing any like liner details or something, you don't need much water in acrylics. So just slowly do these blockings. In one go. The hole blocking will be done. No need to do it twice because I'm already taking a thick amount of color. If you use a little bit of liquid color, then you need to do it twice. But if you're taking quite thick amount of color, you don't need to do it twice. So now just taking that sand color and just applying it in the middle part. And I do a bit of white. I'm adding too wet to become more light color. So I'm just applying it in the center part because I want a little bit different color in those blocks. Just filling it carefully. Even if the color is a little bit coming out, you can easily do it. Well. You can always redo it and you can fix the area by overdoing it. So using my same brush, I'm just blocking in these areas. So once we are done with this whole part, we will now be, will be also doing that wall puddles soon. But first, let's concentrate on the door and then we'll do the rest. So finally these all four blocks are done. So let's start with the next. So the upper part, also, this middle bar I'm doing with the same color which I used for this blocks. Just covering it, just a thin line. Is there. Also the sites? And then the top top half circle, Bordeaux. The center part is same color which we used in the below portion. So you can see how the text color is that the lines are also not visible now, which we have drawn earlier. Now we will do the outer part. So just taking a little bit of gray and white mix and just applying on the upper that half circle. That is also a part which we will be doing, but first-time doing that part. And then we'll do the rest of the area which is left out as a background. So just covering that upper half circle, which is above the door. And now let's do the sidebar. So just taking the gray color and just covering these sides. You don't have to do with like very smoothly because these are wall, so it's fine if it is very not finished, not finished because the walls are never very smooth. So it's okay if the colors are not in the proper smooth fashion, so it's perfectly fine. You can see all we are done. We are doing the blocking pad and slowly, we will be filling this entire portion. And then we'll start with the detailing. So you can see I'm not doing it very smoothly like we do it in pen. I'm not trying to blend the colors also, it's Oh, it's fine that the walls like just a rough filling of this entire space I'm doing over here. Now. We're almost done with this complete blocking. And now we will move towards the next part, next part of the painting. 12. Fourth Card Final Painting: So now let's start creating the borders that is the lines. With my technical pen. I'll be creating the lines. I'm just, I'll just outline this whole part with the scale and this technical pen. And if you don't have technical pen, you can do it with the acrylic paint also. So it's perfectly fine if you are doing with paint. I just wanted to make it a little bit easy. So I just did with did it with technical pen, but you can do it with your liner brush using black color. And in this entire four cards, just use the base still acrylic colors from Bruce, true? And if you don't have the space to colors, you can always make it by adding more of white to it. So just creating these lines. Now once these lines are created, we will be doing this outer that toe wall area also. So again can see I'm just trying to create straight lines. So the lines above, we will be doing this Technical penance of micron. This is very good technical pen and it doesn't like if you add water also to wait, it will not come out. So this is very nice pen. You can use it for your mixed media art work. Now once we are done with this outlining part, so let's do some detailing, like just a little bit of like just a bit of some textures on these corners of this wall. Just giving a little bit of textures. I'm not painting it completely, but I'm just giving little smooth, not smooth. You can say just a bit of texture to it. So now this texture bot is done. So let's do the little bit of detailing with this liner brush and leave it this gray color. So you can see this is already creation. It is not completely visible. These lines are. So it's better to use a little bit of light color rather than using that gray color. What I'll do is I'll just take my round Bristol brush and I'll just create some textures on these are area, just textures, very rough texture of the wall, some dots, some lines. And this is completely dry method. I haven't used any water in. This is completely dry brush and I'm just creating a bit of textures on board decides that does dry color. So the color is also, it's like semi dry and the brush is also completely dry. And see just a rustic touch to it. I have given to the walls. And now with my brush, I will be creating these bricks, mixing the sand color and white mix. And just this horizontal small, small blocks and creating. These are some Blogs which are on this half circle. So this is very easy technique of creating this wall and bricks pad with this filbert brush, you can use flat brush also. So you can see these are not all in same direction. The Bricks, Some are in watercolors, some are in horizontal, some are big, some are small. So you have to give you variations so that it looks like the bricks. We'll be covering this entire wall part like this. This is very basic technique of creating walls. Very beginner friendly, easy technique, which you can use in any painting whenever you are using this wall texture. Now you can see this is almost done just adding little bit of light color that is white color in between these colors. So just to give it a little bit of effect, there are some different brick colors also there in between. Just to give it a nice different look. Now, now we'll add a little bit more detail, two widths. So just taking my again, this Bristol round brush giving a little bit of textures all over this area with the gray color so that it looks more of very little amount of color you have to take and just using your tip of the brush, you have to create these textures. Add some textures on this half circle. Also. You're almost done with this painting, but just few more details are left and we have, now, we are done with it. Just, I'm adding the highlight on these square parts, 36 squares which are there. I'm just adding a little bit off directly the sand color without mixing any white. And just applying a little bit of highlight over there and a little bit to the sides also. Finally, we are done with the painting. Now we'll wait for it to dry and then we'll do the Deco transfer. But 13. Fourth Card Final Detailing: So now just check if your painting is completely dry, then we can use that the quadrants four, so my painting has dried off. So now we'll be using these cutouts for this declaration of the door. So like why is we'll be placing it? So let's start with the first one, which we will be placing it in the center. Then the bells on the top, and then the small or the so sorry to be doing on other sites, placing it in the middle. And then this bell on the top of the door and the small flower pot at this side. So this is the whole scenario which we'll be doing. And then likewise, we'll be using a sponge to wet this cutouts. And we'll be doing the same technique which we did earlier. This is just the arrangement which we have done after painting this entire thing. So just applying water on the top of it. So very gently just apply lots of water on just this area, not on the painting part. You can see I'm just applying water on only on those cutout area. Only. Just gently. Apply water with the sponge. If you don't have one, you can apply it with the brush, also water. But with spawned it is easy to apply the water. So you're going to also apply with your brush also. Let's first do the center part and then we'll do the rest. Just pressing it nicely so that that transfer is done nicely. And just putting more water to it. So you can see how nicely it is coming out. Just perfect. Let's do these Center on also. Just tried to pull that up, proceed very slowly, very slowly. You have to do it. So that just pull that apart sheet. And you can see it. Just take two sword, tried to do it very carefully so that the pages also, you can see doing it very slowly and very gently. You can see how beautiful letters be it's looking. And now the bell part. So this is it. This is the entire God which we have done. And I hope you guys liked all my four cards and do try or projects and do share me. I love seeing the project works. Now we will be doing the varnish bar that is the most important part to keep these deco, transfer intact. So this is varnish part is very important. You have to do the varnish when you're not, when you are just doing the acrylic painting on cards, It's not necessary. But when you are doing this deco transfer, it's better to use this one niche so that is properly stick to it and doesn't comes out. So you can see nicely, I've done one-quarter of one niche that said you have to do it and leave it to dry. And you're done with the gods. Just now we'll take out this masking tape. And we are done with the oil For of tickets for the season. And N1, wishing you a Merry Christmas and also happy new year, 2023. So very slowly, take your this thing out so you can see it is taped here also. So I'll, what I'll do is I'll just do it very carefully so that comes out without removing that.
