1. Introduction : Hello, everyone. My name is Damini and today
we are going to learn how to create this beautiful Christmas
winter season painting. In this course, you
will learn to paint the background to painting the house with a wooden effect, to painting the lights. We will also see how to make smoke coming
out from chimney, snow clad trees and roof, snow covered floor, and Christmas lights
hanging up on the tree. You will have a lot of fun exploring various
techniques and effects. In this painting, I have explained a lot of
different textures to you. I invite you to join
me for the class. It's a bigners friendly course, and there's no experience required to make this
beautiful painting. I look forward to seeing
you in the class.
2. Materials : Hello, everyone. My name
is Damini and today we are going to be learning
acrylic painting on canvas. Now, this is a very easy, bit nurse friendly painting
which anyone of you can make. You do not need to have any prior experience in painting or drawing to
make this painting. So let's get started. Now let's see which all materials are required
to make this painting. The first thing that
you will require is the canvas. This
is the canvas. The second thing that you
would require is the colors. So we would require
dark green colour, dark blue colour, Brown
color, yellow color. White color. And orange colour. You do not need
so much quantity. You can just do fine with a little then we would
require a few brushes. So these are the brushes. One is the broad brush, which is a flat brush. Then we would require
a round brush. This is a round brush. Then I would need a small brush, which has a small tip. This is to make things
which require detailing. So we need a brush which
is quite thin and pointed. Okay. Alongside, we would
also require a pencil, a few tissue papers, or a cloth, whatever you prefer, then a plate and some water. So these are the materials
that we require.
3. Sketch: Hello, everyone. In this class, we will see how to sketch
outline for our painting. So we are going to draw
a line which would be a little lower than the
half part of the canvas. So you can split the
canvas into three parts, and after leaving two
parts on the upper side, one third would be
on the lower side. Then we are going
to make a house. So it's going to be
a triangle first, and then two straight lines
at the base of the triangle. Then we are going to make two adjacent lines to make
the roof of the house. So these are the steps. And then we are going to make a line which is falling from
the roof to the ground. So that way we
have made a house. So these are basically
triangles and rectangles. Then we are going
to make windows. So here I'm making two
rectangles on the front side of the house and one window
inside the triangle, then two more windows on
the side wall of the house. So the windows on the side
would be a little slanted. And then we are making
a chimney at the top. So we are making straight lines, one straight line, then
one line a little longer, and the third line
a little upwards. And then we are going
to join them all.
4. Painting the Sky : Welcome to the class.
In this class, we are going to see
how to paint the sky. So first, I'm taking some dark
blue color on the palette. And then I'm going to
take some white color. And now, taking the flat brush, I'll dip the brush in
water and mix the paint. I'm making the density
a little thinner, and I will apply
the brush strokes. So these are horizontal
brush strokes. Taking some more
paint on the brush. So I'm making sure
that the edges, the sides, the corners,
everything is covered. And then carefully sketching the outline of the house with the paint so that we don't spill the paint
inside of the house. Mixing some white to the blue
and making a shade a little lighter and moving downwards. The strokes would be
same horizontal strokes with the flat brush. So I'm painting the sky
up till the skyline. So you can see the colors from dark blue to a little shade
lighter from top to bottom, and that is how we
have painted the sky.
5. Painting the Ground : Hello, everyone. In this class, we are going to see how
to paint the ground. Taking the blue color first, adding a bit of white, we are going to start from the bottom and
slowly move upwards. So it's going to be
horizontal strokes. We make sure we cover the edges, we cover all the
spots and do not leave the canvas
empty at any point. Then we're going to mix some
white and move upwards. Slowly, it's going
to be transition from dark blue to
lighter shade of blue. Adding some more white. So as we go upwards, we are going to add
more white to the blue, so the shade becomes
lighter and lighter. So here I'm applying
white colour directly on the canvas because I already
have some blue on my brush. So apply slow, gentle
smooth strokes. And I'm just covering all
the space that I can see. So here now we have created a transition
from the lower bottom, which is blue, moving
upward slowly, making sky color, and then adding some more white
and making it even lighter. Now I'll just clean the brush, dip the brush in water, and then clean it with
the tissue paper. So on the ground, we went from dark
blue to light blue. So it's a transition,
as you can see, and on the sky, we went from dark to
light from top to bottom.
6. Painting the House: Welcome to the class.
In this class, we are going to see how
to paint the house. So I just took some brown
color on the palette, and then I started painting the roof of the house
with just white color. So I've taken some
white on my brush, and I'm applying slanted strokes just in the direction
of the roof. Then I'm going to dip
the brush and water, clean the brush, and I will start painting the
walls of the house. So I've taken brown color. And with the middle sized brush, applying vertical and
horizontal both strokes. So wherever you
feel that you need to apply vertical strokes, apply vertical strokes there. If you feel the need to
have horizontal strokes, depending upon the shape there, you can switch back and forth. So I'm leaving some
gap for the windows and painting the rest of the
wall with a brown color. So I'm adding some water
in between just to keep the paint in the proper density and moving towards the front wall the
same color again, brown color. And again, horizontal and
vertical strokes together with the middle size brush and leaving space for
two windows there. This way, we have painted the front and the
side of the house. Now moving towards
the upper side. So here we paint this triangle again with the brown color. So it's a wooden house. Hence, we are painting
it with the brown color. Now we are going to apply some wooden texture
over this brown color. So I'm taking some
white along with brown color and making
it kind of cream color. And with a small size brush, I am giving vertical strokes. Just making lines. I'm not blending color here. I'm just making straight lines. So this gives a wooden effect. We first painted the
background with the brown, and on top, we are applying light brown
colored vertical strokes. So just adding some white to brown with a thin, fine brush. So this is not middle size
brush nor it's flat brush. It's very pointed thin brush. And now for the triangle, we are applying
horizontal brush lines with the same color again. So we can make out
it's looking like wood already and adding some finishing
touches here and there. Now, painting the chimney, we are going to use two colors light brown and dark brown. Light brown is going to
come in the front part. And the shadow falls
on the back side, so that part would be a
little darker than this one. So we are painting
the back part now, which gets the shadow. And I'm making the
outline so that the chimney the shape of
the chimney becomes clear. So that's the chimney. Now, each time you
clean the brush, make sure you also wipe it with the cloth because otherwise the paint would still
be stuck on the brush. Now for the roof, we have already painted one side of the roof
with a white color. Now we are just making the
shape so that it looks like, you know, the roof
is on both sides. So we have just made an outline
outside of the triangle, just on the two upper
side so that it looks like the roof
is on both sides. So the other side is also roof, but it just a line that is
visible from the front. And now we are
making the shadows which fall beneath the roof. So it's dark brown color. I have added blue with some
brown to make dark brown, like a chocolate color. And I'm painting it just
beneath the roof and also making the outlines
from it, the main outlines. So that's how we have
painted the house.
7. Painting the Tree : Hello, everyone. In this class, we are going to paint the tree. So I've taken some brown
color on the small brush and I'm making a long
line vertical line, which is a trunk of the tree. So I'll branch the line out. So we just have to take
branches out from the trunk. Many branches coming out and then further make
branches from branches. So I'm taking brown color, and I'm making the branches
a bit more thicker. The trunk remains at the center, and from that trunk, we are going to take
out the branches. I'm taking some orange color and yellow color for the
lights inside of the house. That's the light that we
see inside the windows. So I've taken orange
color with a small brush, and I'm going to apply orange color in half
part of the window. So the upper half is
going to be orange color. And the lower half
would be yellow. That's how you will have to paint all the windows
of the house. So now the house looks lit like there is
lighting inside the house. And then I'm taking
some yellow with white and make reflection
of the light on the snow, which has fallen on the ground. So with a small brush, I'm just randomly making a few strokes with the
light yellow color. And also under the tree because we are going to hang
lights on the tree as well. So the reflection
of the lights is going to fall on the ground
where the tree stands. Random strokes. Now, we are going to make snow which has fallen on the
branches of the tree. So I have taken some
white with a small brush, and I'm applying white
paint over the branches. So on top of the branches, you will have to put
the white color. So that makes it look
like the snow has fallen. So going to apply white color on the top part of every branch. Don't make it too thick. It's just going to be thin. So that's how we have covered
the tree with the snow. Now I'm taking yellow color
along with a little white, and we are going
to make Christmas lights hung on the tree. So just making small circles
and filling in the color. These are the lights
decorated over the tree. So I think this gives
a Christmas effect. So, yeah, that's pretty much it. See you in the next class.
8. Painting the ice: Hello, everyone. In this class, we are going to see how to
paint snow covered floor. So we are going to use middle sized brush
and going to dip the brush in white color and
start dabbing on the canvas. So we take some color on the paint brush and flattening
the brush, we just dab. We are not going to blend the color or mix the
color on the canvas. We are simply going to dab
and let the texture be. So that's how we are going
to paint the entire floor. Now, where there is yellow, there will also be some white and continuing with
the dabbing technique. So if you notice, these are visible brush strokes. We are not going
to blend them and applying these strokes
everywhere, all over. Now, similarly, we
are going to take some light blue color mixing
blue and white together. We are going to dab with
the light blue color. So now it looks like snow. On some parts, there's
this yellow color, which is, again, the
lightening effect. Now we will paint the stars. So we are going to
use small brush, and using the tip of the brush, we are going to make some dots, some small size, some big size, So we are going to use a
small pointed brush so that we can make the stars
randomly anywhere. It's quite a fun process to do this because it's very random. So this is how we have
painted the stars. Now we are going to paint the smoke coming
out from chimney. So we are just going to take the white paint
using the small brush again and just applying
rough strokes. Without adding a lot of water
and with very little color, we are just going to spread that color so that
it looks smoky. We are not using a lot of paint. We are just taking a bit of
paint and then spreading it. So this is how we have
created smoke coming out.
9. Painting the Stars: Now we are going to take
some dark green color and make the trees. Using the middle sized brush, we are just going to apply
small thick strokes. We don't have to blend
or mix the color, we just have to apply thick strokes and give
it a triangular shape. Likewise, we are going
to create another tree and now making
another tree here. So it's triangular in shape and just by applying the
paint and not blending it. Now, we are going to take
some brown color with a small brush and making the
outlines with a brown color. Outlines of the windows, as well as one horizontal
and one vertical line. That's how we are going to
paint on all our windows. So we had painted orange
and yellow color earlier. That is to show the lighting
inside the windows, and now we are
making the windows. So using small pointed brush,
we are going to do this. So this is how we have
created our windows. Now, if you feel like adding
brown anywhere else, you may after that, we are going
to take some white on the small size brush and
make the snow clad trees. So we already applied
green colour. We are going to take some white color and make
the trees snow clad. So I'm just applying the paint
and not really mixing it. I'm just leaving
the strokes there. So it looks like snow. We are going to do the same
with all three trees there. We are just applying the paint
and leaving the strokes. And this is how we have created this beautiful Christmas
winter season painting.
10. Conclusion : So that's how we created this Christmas winter
season painting. I hope you all
enjoyed the class, and I hope you all make a
beautiful, stunning painting. Do share with me once
you finish making it. Thank you for watching.
