Colorful Night Skies on Coasters - A Collection of Gouache Paintings

1. Welcome to the Class: When I started exploring wash colors, I love the way colors blend together. It's a versatile and vibrant medium in the world of visual arts. The most amazing part about wash colors is the mat finish. It gives after it dries. As someone who loves to explore different art forms. Wash colors are something that I'm exploring these days. Everybody, I'm Ruth part. I'm a self taught independent artist and an interior designer by profession. As somebody who's very much passionate about teaching, my major focus is to create classes for intermediate and bigger artists, for trying to develop their skills on a regular basis. In this class, we are going to create Five Beautiful Night Skies, using minimal and easy techniques to paint. We're going to start by learning about all the art supplies in detail. We're going to talk about big wash colors that you will need and the brushes that are needed for the entire class. In case you do not have circular coasters, you can use a watercolor paper as well. Before starting with all the class projects, we are going to have a practice session in which we are going to learn about all the elements and how to paint them in detail. The practice sheet will help you a lot to develop confidence while painting and improvise your brush strokes. We are going to start by painting a beautiful gradient background using various wash colors. Combining these colors together, we are going to form colorful night skies. We are going to paint some beautiful clouds in the background using easy and simple brush techniques. There are going to be various elements that we are going to paint in contrast with the background. Combining all the elements together, we are going to form some beautiful sceneries which will be complementing with the colorful night sky in the background. The class is absolutely suited for beginners, and also intermediate and advanced level artists can try it. There is no prior knowledge required for this particular class. In case you are absolutely new to wash colors, this class is very well suited for you. We are going to create five beautiful class projects, which are going to be based on colorful night skies without any delay. Grab your art supplies and join me in this creative journey. 2. Art Supplies: Hey buddy, before we start, let us talk about all the art supplies that you will need for this particular class. No need to worry at all in case you're missing out on any particular art supply. You'll find it very easily in any nearby local art store. Or you can also go for any other good alternative as well. Let's start with the first art supply, which is a simple color palette. Make sure that your color palette is having enough surface so that you can take out multiple colors in it. The next up, we have a simple tissue paper. This is basically required to remove excess amount of water and color from your brush. These are the circular coasters on which we are going to paint using wash colors. These are basically M DF coasters, which is basically known as medium density fiber board. The size of this particular coaster is 3 " in diameter. You can go for any other size or shape as well. It is absolutely fine. Also, in case you do not want to paint on a coaster, you can definitely paint on a watercolor paper as well. Now let us talk about the gas colors that we are going to use this time. We're going to create colorful skies, that's why we are going to have variation in gouache colors. The first one is move, then we have cobalt blue, Celine, blue, and rose. These are the four gauge colors that we will need for this particular class. In case you're not having the exact color, you can go for any other good alternative as well. Now, apart from these vibrant colors, we are also going to need black and white gauge colors. I was out on tubes, that's why I'm using the tubs. The next up, we have a simple pencil, which we can use to create a rough line or any reference lines that we want to create before starting now comes the most important art supply, which is the brushes that we are going to use. The most amazing part about the classes that you will need only three brushes. The first one is a flat brush of size 11. Then next up we have two round brushes. Basically one is of size four, another one is of size six. You will only need these three brushes to create these beautiful, colorful night skies. Now, in order to create a beautiful practice sheet on which we are going to practice all the elements that we are going to use in the class projects. I have used a five size watercolor paper. I'll be giving the details about that as well. These are watercolor papers which is 300 GSM and the size is five. You can also create the class projects on the watercolor paper in case you do not want to paint on a coaster. Then we have the last art supply, which is a simple cup, which is having some clear water in it. We are going to use this to clean the brushes and apply some water wherever needed. These are all the art supplies that you will need for this particular class. Now let us move towards the next part. 3. Lets Practice the Elements: Before starting with all the class projects, let us learn about all the elements and how to paint them in detail. This is basically a simple practice session before starting with the class projects. Here I have my simple five size sheet of watercolor paper. I have just simply placed a masking tape, creating two sections where we are going to learn how to paint a beautiful colorful night sky and a water body. No need to worry at all. It is going to be a very simple and easy technique to paint the colorful sky that we are going to create in all the class projects. Here are our vibrant colors, which are basically guash colors. I'm placing them nearby and you can observe that I've placed all my art supplies nearby so that we can access them easily. The first color that I've taken in the color palette is move, and the second one is seruline blue. Using these two colors, we're going to create a beautiful gradient background. It is also not at all compulsory that we're going to use only two colors. This is just a basic technique. We're also going to use multiple colors to create a gradient background. I've taken my flat brush of size 11. Take some clear water from the cup of water, and just apply a thin coat of water on the first section that we have created, this is basically known as a wet on wet technique, in which we apply a thin coat of water initially. And then we can apply some color on it so that the brush can move smoothly and the color can blend together in a nice way. We are going to take some good amount of move color in the flat brush and just start applying it. From the topmost portion, you can observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple horizontal movement and I'm slowly coming towards the bottom portion. Since we are going to create a beautiful gradient effect, that's why I'm not covering the entire surface. We have just applied it on half portion. Now just make the brush a little bit dry in case you find that there is axis amount of water or color in your brush, just dab your brush to the tissue paper so that axis amount will be removed. Now on the bottom part, we're going to apply ceruline blue. Just simply clean your flat brush in water. Now we're going to take some good amount of ceruline blue. You can observe it in the color palette. In case you find that your color is a little bit stiff, you can add a little bit of water to make it a little bit smoother. Now from the bottom portion, I have just started these little horizontal movement. And I'm moving towards the topmost portion where we have applied the move color. You can see a line of separation between both the colors Right now. Now you have to clean your flat brush again, dab it completely onto the tissue paper, make it fully dry, and just apply it on the center portion. To blend both the colors, you just have to apply these horizontal movement and you can see a beautiful gradient effect between both the colors. Now let the background dry for a while, and I'll be taking my round brush of size four. And we have taken some solid white color in it. Now we are going to paint some beautiful clouds, which you can see in the background of the class projects that I have placed on the right hand side. It is a very simple and easy technique. You just have to take your round brush, take some solid white color in it. You can add a little bit of uline blue if you want to, or you can keep the clouds white according to your convenience. Now at the brush to the tissue paper and simply apply these little horizontal strokes on the background that we have created. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and random shapes. There isn't any specific format of painting that you can create your own natural shapes and composition as well. You can observe that I'm using the tip of the brush to create these little strokes which are horizontal. You can also observe that there isn't any specific way in which I'm trying to create the clouds. I'm just moving it in a very random manner. But as you move towards the outer portion where you want to create the entire cluster of the cloud, you can just make them vanish. You can just apply the least pressure on the boundary of the entire cloud. As you can observe, I have painted one cluster of the cloud on the left hand portion. Now let us paint one more cluster of cloud on the right hand side as well. This is going to be absolutely different from the first one because the strokes are going to be different and it is absolutely fine. No need to worry at all in case you're not able to paint it in the exact same way I have painted. You can create your own natural shapes. You can experiment with the composition of the clouds as well. That is something that I love to do the most. Now you can observe that we are basically having two types of moons in the background. The first one is a simple crescent moon that you have to paint using your round brush, having some solid white color in it. Try to make this little curve shape, which is pointy on the edges, and you can just add a little bit of color on the center portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Use the tip of your brush to paint in this smaller scale. Now, in order to create some beautiful stars in the background, just take some solid white color. Add a little bit of water in your brush. And simply tap your finger onto the brush. You will observe that the color will splatter in the form of small white dots, creating some beautiful stars. Now in this particular class project, you can observe a beautiful water body having some minute details and depth. Now on the second portion, we are going to practice this particular element. I'll be taking my flat brush of size 11 now. Similarly, we'll be applying a thin coat of water on the entire surface. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply an even coat of water. Also, make sure that there is no space left between the masking tape and the watercolor paper. Now in the color palette, you can observe I have taken some rose. Now just take some good amount of color in the brush and apply it in this particular horizontal movement. No need to hurry at all, try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. The reason that we applied a thin coat of water initially was so that our brush can move smoothly and the color can apply in a very even manner. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique. You can observe that we have painted the entire background using some rose color now to create some beautiful waves which are going to create some nice depth and detail to the entire water body. What we're going to do is that we're going to make some strokes on the entire background that we have painted. Right now, I'll be using my round brush of size four and we'll be taking some good amount of solid white color from the color palette. And you just have to make these little horizontal strokes. Again, there isn't any specific method to create these horizontal strokes. You can apply it in a very random manner. You can create a combination of two to three strokes together as well. As you can observe, I have added these strokes on the entire surface by having some space in between as well. No need to cover it completely with horizontal strokes, I'll be taking some black color in my round brush of size four. Now similarly the strokes that we made using solid white color, just make it with this black color as well. Now using the same flat brush, apply it once again on the entire background. You will observe that the strokes that we made will get blend with the background color that we painted. Using Rose, the brush is absolutely dry. Make sure that there isn't any water in the entire brush. In case you have excess amount of water in your brush, just dab it to the tissue paper and then you can apply the horizontal strokes. Now you can observe that this is how you have to create the background and the water body. Now let us remove the masking tape. I just added a masking tape so that we can get a nice, exact shape for the water body and the sky that we have painted. Also, it is one of the most satisfying part to remove the masking tape. We will enjoy the practice sheet as well while creating it. I have just removed the masking tape and we're done with the colorful sky and the water body. Now let us start with the elements, which are basically the sell outs in the entire class project. As you can observe in one of the class projects, we have these beautiful pine trees. I'll be using my round rush of size four, creating these vertical lines, which is having variation in sizes. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Now, since we have a nice variation in the pine trees, what we are going to do is just start creating these little strokes from the top portion. And as you move towards the bottom part, just increase the size of the strokes that you're making. Now in order to get a nice outline for the entire pine tree, just try to use the tip of your round brush so that you can get a beautiful fill out. It is not at all difficult, just try to practice it as much as you can. You can create any number of vertical strokes and create a lot of pine trees as well. Now, repeating the same steps, we are going to paint the remaining pine trees as well. You can observe that I'm just making these little strokes from the top portion. As I move towards the bottom part, I just simply increase the size of the strokes that I'm making. You just have to use your detailing brush in a correct manner in order to paint a beautiful pine tree. You can observe we are almost done painting all the pine trees. This is the simple step that we are going to follow while creating the class project as well. This will also help you a lot to develop some confidence while painting. Towards the final class project, I'll be taking some more solid black color in my round brush of size four. Now we're going to create some beautiful bushes which you can observe in the second class project which is on the bottom portion. Now using the same round brush, just use the tip of your round brush to create this rough outline, which is basically of plants on the bottom portion. Now you can observe that using the tip of the round brush, I have created a nice outline. Now once you're done with the outline, we can fill in solid black color on the inner portion, You can observe how beautifully we created an entire bush. Of plantation on the bottom part. Now, similarly, we are going to have a smaller bush which is having some branches as well. You just have to create the bush on the topmost portion using the tip of your round brush, you can create the entire outline on the top and the bottom portion as well. You can create these little branches Also, now we have a tree trunk which is looking really beautiful with the entire background. To paint it, you just have to use your round brush and create these vertical strokes while creating the vertical strokes. You can have variation in sizes and you can also have some shapes connecting the vertical lines together. There isn't any specific way of painting a tree trunk or the branches. You can create your own natural shapes as well. Now we can observe, we are done with both the elements. Now let us move towards the next element, which is basically a coconut tree. Now to create a beautiful sellout for the entire coconut tree, you just have to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. We are starting with the leaves first. You just have to use the tip of your brush and create these strokes which are coming towards the outer area. Make sure that you create a bunch of leaves together in a circular manner. Now, once we have painted the leaves, we are going to connect it using a single branch. Once we have connected all the leaves together, we'll be painting the entire trunk of the tree. It's a very simple and easy step to paint an entire sill out for a coconut tree. You will just need a lot of patience and you will need to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Similarly, I'll be painting one more coconut tree which is going to be a little bit smaller than the first one, but the steps are absolutely same. You can carefully observe the way I'm using the tip of my round brush. This is how we have painted the entire coconut tree sellout. Now in the class project, you can observe we have some bushes which are plantation basically just below the coconut trees. The steps are absolutely same like we did earlier. You just have to make these little strokes using the tip of your round brush, creating a beautiful outline. And then you have to fill in solid black color inside. Now let us paint some beautiful mountains and rock bodies. As you can observe in the class project, you just have to create the outline. And mountains and rock bodies also generally have a very natural and random shapes. It is not at all compulsory or necessary that you paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition and shapes as well. In the coaster, you can also observe a smaller rock body which is a little bit smaller than the entire mountain area that we have painted. It is also absolutely simple and easy to create. You just have to create a beautiful outline and then you can fill in solid black color in inner portion. You can use the tip of your round brush to fill in solid black color in difficult areas. Now in this particular coaster, you can observe we have few plantation in the bottom portion which are basically the bushes which are replicating some good plantation, having some variation in sizes, you can observe I'm just using the tip of my round brush to create a nice leafy outline and then I have fill in solid black color in inner portion. This is basically creating a beautiful sill out which will have a nice colorful background. We are done with all the elements that you will need to practice before starting with all the class projects. You can observe the labelings that I have given in the entire practice sheet. The practice sheet will help you a lot to develop some confidence and improvise your painting skills. Also, it will be a very interesting process to keep a record of your artwork and progress. Now let us move towards the next part. 4. Painting 1 - The Forest: Everybody, you're most welcome to the first painting, which is the Forest. As you can observe, I'm ready with all my art supplies being placed nearby so that we can access them easily. And here is our circular coaster of diameter 3 ". You can go for any other good alternative, or difference in size is also absolutely fine. You can use a watercolor paper as well. We're going to start by painting the background. Let me tell you about the Gage colors, which is going to be cobalt blue and Celine Blue. Let us take some amount of color in the color palette. No need to take a lot of color. Try to save your resources. I'll be taking some Celine Blue as well. Now we're going to add a nice thin coat of water initially in the entire coaster. Just simply take your flat brush of size 11 and just apply a thin coat of water on the entire surface. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply a thin coat of water in a very slow and steady manner. Make sure that there is no space left on the entire coaster. And this is basically known as a wet on wet technique. This particular step helps us a lot to blend the colors in a very nice way, and your brush can move in a very smooth manner. Now, using a round brush of size six, I've taken some solid black color and we have applied it on the topmost portion a little bit. And you can apply these rough strokes a little bit in between as well. Now I'll be taking my flat brush of size 11, and we are taking some good amount of cobalt blue in it. Now, simply from the top portion of the entire coaster, you can observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple horizontal movement, will cover half of the entire coaster using cobalt blue. And you can also observe that the black color is also a little bit blended with the cobalt blue color. In case you have axis amount of water in your flat brush, you can just dab your brush to the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed. Now, in the remaining portion, we are going to apply Celine Blue. Just simply clean your flat brush. Now, from the bottom portion, we are going to apply this particular color. It's also a simple horizontal movement only you can observe that we have covered the entire coaster using three colors, basically black, cobalt blue, and Celine Blue. Now you can observe a line of difference. We are going to blend both the colors together. Just simply clean your flat brush and water, dab it on tissue paper, and make it completely dry. Now, apply the dry brush and between both the colors. And slowly move towards the top portion. And you will observe a beautiful gradient effect between both the colors. Now let the background dry for a while. Let us take some solid white color in the color palette and we're going to paint some beautiful clouds. I've taken my round brush of size four and we have taken some solid white color in the color palette. Dab your brush to the tissue paper so that axis amount of color and water, both will be removed. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and random shapes and there isn't any specific form that you will find in the sky. You can just simply observe the movement of my round brush. You can also see that I'm using the tip of my round brush to create these little circular movement and a little bit in a horizontal direction. We are just trying to spread the entire cluster of the cloud. I would say that it is not at all compulsory that you paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition and shapes as well. You can also observe that I do not have a lot of water in my brush. In case you find that there is axis amount of water in your round brush, just make sure that you dab it carefully on tissue paper so that all the axis amount of water will be removed and your brush will be completely dry. You can see I'm just trying to blend it with the background as well, but it is also creating a beautiful contrast with the background. You can observe that we have created a cluster of cloud on the right hand portion and there is one more cluster of clouds on the left hand side as well. I'm just trying to create these little strokes. No need to worry at all in case you're not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly to your coaster. What you can do is that you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will definitely help you a lot to improvise your brush strokes, and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. As you can observe, I have taken some amount of Celine blue to create some contrast in the clouds as well. You can observe that my brush is completely dry, that's why I'm getting this beautiful texture. Now, in order to make the clouds look a little bit more attractive and aesthetic, I'll be taking some more solid white color in my round brush of size four. This time it is going to have a little bit more contrast with the background. You can observe I'm just using the tip of my round brush to make the clouds look a little bit more attractive. You can simply make these little circular movement. And you can just create these horizontal strokes. As you can observe, it enhances the entire look of the clouds. The step is very easy and simple, but you need to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Try to have some patience so that you can create a nice cluster of clouds together. Also, in case you're not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly to your final coaster, you can practice it on a rough scrap of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. Now you can observe that we are done with the clouds and it looks amazing with the beautiful background. Now we'll be painting some beautiful pine trees. I'll be taking my same round brush of size Po, make it completely clean. Remove all the solid white color from it. Now simply take some solid black color in the color palette. Try to add some amount of water to lose the color up. And make sure that you do not add axis amount of water because we want a good solid black color, which will create a noise contrast with the colorful background. You can observe that using the tip of my round brush. I'm just trying to create these vertical lines which are basically the position of the pine trees that we are going to paint. We are trying to paint the pine trees in the bottom portion. That's why I'm just creating these vertical lines, which is basically deciding the position of the pine trees. From the right hand portion, we have come towards the left hand side creating these vertical lines. Now let us paint the leaves in the entire pine tree. It's a very simple and easy step. Just observe the movement of my round rush. Initially what I'll do is that I'll just make these little strokes on the topmost portion. As I move towards the bottom area, I'll simply increase the size of the strokes that I'm making right now. This is how it creates a triangulated shape, which pine trees generally have no need to worry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. This is basically a very easy and simple step to paint a beautiful sill out for a pine tree. You can observe the movement of my round rush and the way I'm using the tip of my round brush as well. Also, in case you are not that much confident enough to paint it to your final coaster directly and you do not want to spoil your colorful background, what you can do is you can just practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to improvise your brush strokes and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. Now, we are just going to simply repeat the same steps covering all the pine trees. You can also observe that the pine trees are having a nice variation in sizes. That's why we created the vertical lines initially having difference in length. That's how it looks a little bit more aesthetic. Make sure that there is no space left in between the solid black color that we are applying right now, because that will not look nice. Once it dries up, we are left with three more pine trees and the steps are absolutely same. I can also tell you that you will enjoy this particular step because it's very interesting to paint these pine trees having variation in shapes and sizes. Also, once the entire coaster is done, it's a very satisfying process and you'll be very amazed to see the entire output. Now you can observe that we have painted the entire portion of pine trees together, and it creates a nice sellout. Let me add a little pine tree on the left hand portion. I feel the space is a little bit empty, so we are done with the entire portion of painting the pine trees. Now let us paint a beautiful crescent moon in the sky. So I'll be taking my round brush of size Bo again and we'll be taking some good amount of solid white color in the color palette. But before that let us add some beautiful stars. You just have to take some solid white color in the brush and just simply tap your finger to the brush. You will observe that the color will splatter in the form of white dots, creating some beautiful stars in the colorful background. No need to hurry at all. Do it in a very slow and steady manner. Now, using the same round brush, we are going to paint a beautiful crescent moon. You can observe that I'm using the tip of my round brush to create a simple curved shape. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner because you do not want to spoil your colorful background and the clouds you can observe. I'm just making the middle portion a little bit thicker and the edges are completely sharp in case you want to paint a full Moon. That is also absolutely fine. For that, you just have to paint a circular shape using the same round brush of size four, and you can use solid white color in it. We are done with the first painting on the coaster, which is the forest. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed painting this particular coaster and got to learn something new, enjoy the entire process. Now let us move towards the next painting. 5. Painting 2 - The Bushes: Everybody, you're most welcome to the second painting, which is the bushes. As you can observe, I'm ready with all my art supplies nearby and the coaster as well. We're going to start by applying a thin coat of water on the entire coaster. I'll be using my flat brush of size 11. We're going to apply an even coat of water on the entire coaster. Make sure that there is no space left on the entire surface. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique, so that the colors can blend in a nice way and the brush can move in a smooth manner. I'll be taking my round brush of size four. And in the color palette, I've taken some solid black color. We are going to use the tip of the round brush, and I have applied the black color on the topmost portion. Now we're going to take some cobalt blue in the flat brush of size 11. No need to hurry at all. Try to take some good quantity of color in the brush. Make sure that there is no axis amount of water in it. In case you find that the color is a little bit stiff, then you can add some amount of water in it. Now just below the black color, we are going to apply some cobalt blue. You can observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple horizontal movement and we're not going to cover the entire coaster. We have just applied it on half of the portion. We can also add few strokes in between, black and cobalt blue together. You can observe a beautiful blend between both the colors. Now simply clean your flat brush of size 11 and we are going to take some move color in the color palette. You can observe that I'm trying to add a little bit of water so that the color can loosen up a little bit. Now in the remaining portion, we are going to apply this particular color. No need to Harry at all. You can observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple horizontal movement. And make sure that there is no space left in the entire coaster. Now in case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, you can dab your brush into the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed and the brush will be a little bit dry. Slowly, you can move towards the above portion, blending all the colors together, you can observe a beautiful gradient effect between black, cobalt blue, and move together. Now let the background dry for a while. I'm going to take some Erlin blue in the color palette. We're going to use a round brush of size for make sure that you do not have axis amount of water in your brush. Try to have a good saturation of the color. Now as you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and random shape. There isn't any specific form that you'll find in the sky. We are just going to create these little horizontal strokes which are having variation in sizes. By combining all these strokes together, we can form a nice cluster of clouds together. This is not at all difficult, you just have to make these random strokes. You can create multiple cluster of clouds as well. You can create your own composition and shapes as well. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner in case you are not that much confident enough to paint it directly towards your final coaster, or you do not want to spoil your colorful background. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. You can observe that I'm adding few more strokes on the bottom portion. Let us add few more strokes on the topmost portion as well. Creating these little horizontal strokes also do not apply a lot of pressure on your brush. Just keep your hand a little bit loose and apply least pressure. Use the tip of your brush so that you can get minute strokes. Now I'll be simply cleaning my round brush and I'm going to take some solid white color in it this time in order to make the clouds a little bit more attractive and aesthetic. I'm taking some solid white color. Just dab your brush to the tissue paper so that it is completely dry. Now I'll be just enhancing the clouds which we already painted. You can just apply the white color in certain portions only, no need to cover the complete cloud. You can just apply it in a very random manner. You can also observe that this also creates an nice contrast between the colorful background that we painted and the clouds that we have painted right now. Also, it is not at all necessary or compulsory to paint it in the exact same way I have painted. You can create your own composition and shapes as well. We are done painting all the clouds. Now let us paint some beautiful bushes. On the bottom portion, I'll be taking my round brush of size four again. And take some solid black color in your color palette. Make a good combination of water and color together. Make sure that you do not have axis amount of water in the color that will definitely decrease the saturation of the color. Now using the tip of my round brush, I'm just creating this beautiful outline which basically replicates the leaves of the bushes. You can observe that I'm trying to create an nice variation in the entire bottom portion. Using the tip of my round brush, we are basically creating a nice fill out for the entire plantation. On the bottom portion, it is not at all necessary that you paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition of the plantation on the bottom portion as well. You can play with the shapes and size. You can also decide the position where you want to place them. Now, once we are done with the entire outline area, we are going to fill in solid black color inside. You can observe the movement of my round brush. You have to apply the color in a certain way by having same brush strokes. No need to hurry at all and make sure that there is no space left in the entire black portion that we are painting right now. That will not look nice. Once it dries up, you can observe I'm covering the entire area, so in case you find that the color is a little bit stiff, you can add a little bit of water to it so that the color can lose enough. You can observe that we are done painting all the bushes on the bottom portion. In case you find that there is any space left, you can just apply some good amount of solid black color in that particular portion. Now I'll be creating one bush, which will create some aesthetics to the entire painting that we are creating right now. Just use the tip of your arm brush. Have some good amount of solid black color in it, and we're going to paint a little bit of bush on the left hand portion. You just have to use the thin strokes to create a beautiful outline which basically replicates the leaves. And you can fill in solid black color in inner portion. Create these thin branches which are connected to the entire brushes. On the bottom portion, you just have to use the tip of your brush and just carefully paint the branches. Now in order to create some more aesthetics, we're going to add some beautiful stars in the entire background. Just simply take your round brush of size four. Take some good amount of solid white color in the color palette. Add a little bit of water to it. Now simply tap your finger to the brush and splatter the color on the entire surface. No need to at all do it with a lot of patients, the splattered color looks like white dots in the entire background. You can see by using a simple step, we created some beautiful stars in the entire background. Now using the same round brush of size four, I have taken some solid black color again and we're going to create some leaves on the topmost portion. It's a part of a tree basically, which is coming in the scenery that we have painted. And it's a part of a sellout as well. After creating the entire outline using these little strokes, we can fill in solid black color in the inner portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a slow and steady manner. Use the tip of your round brush to create this beautiful outline, which will replicate a lot of leaves. You can observe the entire composition of the bushes on the bottom portion and the part of the tree that we have painted on the top right corner. This is how we create a beautiful sill out, creating an entire scenery. It is not at all necessary to paint it in the exact same way I have painted right now. You can create your own composition of the bushes as well. Now let us paint a beautiful full moon to enhance the entire beauty of the painting. I'll be using my round rush of size fo take some solid white color in it, make sure that there is no axis amount of water in it. In case you have axis amount of water, dab your brush to the tissue paper. Now using the tip of the round brush, simply create a circular shape. You have to be a little bit careful while painting a small circular shape because we do not want to spoil the colorful background. Also, in case you want to have variation in size of the moon, that is also absolutely fine. We are done with the entire coaster. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed painting. This particular coaster got to learn something new. Now, let us move towards the next painting. 6. Painting 3 - Coconut Trees: Everybody, you're most welcome to the third painting, which is coconut trees. As you can observe, I'm ready with all my art supplies nearby and we are ready with the coaster as well. I'll be using my flat brush of size 11, and we are going to create a thin coat of water on it. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply an even coat of water on the entire coaster and make sure that there isn't any space left. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique, so that the colors can blend together in a very good manner and the brush can move in a smoother way. I'll be taking some move in the color palette. Take some good amount of color. In case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, just dab your brush onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed. Now you can observe that we have started to apply the color from the topmost portion and slowly I'll be coming towards the bottom area. But we are not going to cover the entire coaster with move. Since we are going to create a beautiful gradient background, you can observe the horizontal movement and make sure that there is no space left on the entire coaster. While applying the color you can observe. I have dabbed my brush on the tissue paper to remove some axis amount of water. And you can observe we have applied a nice solid coat of move on the upper portion, I'll be simply cleaning my flat brush and we're going to apply some nice ceruline blue on the bottom area. In the color palette, you can observe I'm taking some good amount of ceruline blue case that you find your color is finished from the color palette. You can add some amount of color from the tube. Now we are going to apply ceruline blue in the bottom portion. You can start from the bottom area slowly moving towards the above area. Slowly, we are going to blend both the colors together. But first apply the color in a good manner. Make sure that there is no space left on the entire coaster. Now you can observe a separation line between both the colors. Now you can just dab your brush to the tissue paper, make it completely dry, and you can apply these horizontal strokes to blend both the colors together. You can start from the bottom portion, move slowly towards the above area. You will observe that both the colors will have a nice blend together. Now let the background dry for a while and we're going to paint some beautiful clouds. I'll be taking my round brush of size four. Take some solid white color in the color palette. Dab your brush to the tissue paper to remove excess amount of water. And try to make your brush a little bit dry. Now using the tip of the round brush, we are going to paint some beautiful clouds in the sky. You can observe that I'm trying to create these little horizontal strokes having variation in sizes. Clouds generally have a very natural and random shape. There isn't any specific form that you'll find in the sky. It is not at all compulsory that you paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition and shapes as well. You can decide the position of the clouds as well. You can create the clusters accordingly. You can observe that I'm just trying to make these little horizontal strokes which are vanishing at the end. You can apply least pressure where you want the horizontal strokes to be a little bit thinner. You can observe that we have created a nice cluster of clouds. And you can also see how beautiful it looks with the colorful background. It creates a nice contrast. Now I'll be just cleaning my round brush and make it completely dry by dabbing it to the tissue paper. Now I'll be just blending it with the background. You just have to create these horizontal strokes on the outer area of the clouds slowly, you will observe that the clouds will get a nice blend with the background color. No need to hurry at all. Try to do this particular step in a very slow and steady manner in case you are not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly to your final coaster, or you do not want to spoil your colorful gradient background. What you can do is you can try to practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will definitely help you to improvise your brush strokes and the chances of making mistakes will be very less. By painting these particular clouds, you can observe there is a noise aesthetics to the entire sky area. You can also decide the position of the cluster of clouds. You can also create a combination of two to three clouds together as well. There is always possibility for experimenting. This is how you can also show your own creativity. We are almost done painting the clouds, now let us add some stars in the entire background. Simply take some solid white color in the color palette, add some amount of water to it. Now take your round brush of size fo and tap your finger on it. We will observe that the color will splatter on the entire background surface, creating these beautiful white dots which will replicate some beautiful stars. Now I'll be taking my round brush of sipho. You're going to take some solid black color in the color palette. In case you find that your color is a little bit stiff, you can add some amount of water to loosen the color up. So now we're going to create some landscape area. In the bottom portion, I'll be taking my round brush of size four having some good amount of solid black color in it. And you just have to use the tip of your brush to create these little strokes which will create a outline, which is basically replicating the leaves. So we're going to create a bushy landscape on the bottom portion. This time we're not going to have a lot of variation on the entire line of the bushes. We're just going to keep it very simple. You can observe that I'm just creating these little strokes. Once we will be done with the outline, we are going to fill in solid black color which will complete the entire fill out. This particular step is not at all difficult, you just have to make these random strokes using the tip of your round brush. As you can observe, we are almost done creating the entire outline. Now I'll be filling in solid black color in the entire portion On the bottom area, you can observe there is a specific movement of my round brush. No need to apply the color in a random way. Just observe the vertical movement and the strokes that I'm making right now. Make sure that there is no space left while you're applying the black color. That will not look nice. Once we are done with the entire black color, always try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Case you find that your color is a little bit dry in the color palette, you can add some amount of water, but make sure that there isn't axis amount of water that will definitely decrease the saturation of the black color. Now you can observe that we are done with the entire landscape area on the bottom portion. Now you can use the tip of your brush to make the entire outline of the plantation look a little bit more aesthetic. Now we are going to paint the next element, which is the coconut tree sellout. It's going to be a very simple and easy technique to paint a beautiful coconut tree sellout, but you have to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Try to have some patients. We're going to start by painting the leaves. You just have to use the tip of your und brush. Try to have some good amount of solid black color in it. Now, using the tip of your und brush, just create these little strokes and you just have to form a leaf structure. Now once we have painted all the leaves in a circular format, we are going to connect them using a single branch. You just have to use the tip of your und, brush and be very much careful, Apply least pressure on it to get a very thin line. We're connecting all the leaves that we have painted together. Now, once we have connected all the leaves together, we are going to paint the main trunk. You can apply a little bit of color where all the lines are connecting together. And then just simply make a nice stroke using your round rush. Connect it with the landscape area that we have painted on the bottom portion. In case you want to increase the size of the leaves that you have painted, you can just apply some more little strokes on the outer portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Try to use the tip of your brush so that you can get a nice fill out. You can also add some more strokes to make the tree trunk look a little bit more thicker. Now, similarly we'll be adding a few more coconut trees sill outs. The steps and method is absolutely same, you just have to repeat it, but this time you're going to have the trunk size a little bit smaller so that the tree that I'm painting right now will be having variation in size. Again, I'll be connecting all the leaves together at one point and then we'll be adding the main trunk. This time you can observe that this particular trunk is a little bit smaller than the first one and it creates a nice composition between both the coconut trees. It is not at all necessary or compulsory to paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition of trees together. You can play with the shape and sizes as well. You can also create a cluster of trees in the combination of two to three as well. Now I'll be adding one more coconut trees still out on the left hand portion. Now this one will be smaller in height from the both coconut trees that we have painted on the right hand portion. You can observe by using minimal brush strokes and techniques, we have painted some beautiful coconut tree sell outs in the entire coaster. And it looks really amazing having a good contrast with the colorful background. Now let us paint a beautiful full moon in between these trees. I'll be taking my round brush of size four. Take some good amount of solid white color in it. Simply try to paint a circular shape in case you do not want to have a circular moon. You can also try to have variation in the moon shape. You can paint a crescent moon as well. Basically, you can play with the shape and size of the moon according to your convenience. So you can observe I'm using the tip of my round brush to create a beautiful circular shape. The moon is also creating a beautiful contrast with the colorful background and the entire composition of the trees. The plantation on the bottom area, the clouds and the colorful background together looks really amazing. We are done with the entire coaster. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed painting this particular coaster and got to learn something new. Now let us move towards the next painting. 7. Painting 4 - Tree Trunk: Hey buddy, You're most welcome to the fourth painting, which is tree trunk. As you can observe, I'm ready with all my art supplies nearby and the coaster is also ready. I'll be using my size 11 flat brush to apply a thin coat of water on the entire surface. No need to hurry at all, Try to apply an even coat. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique, in which we apply a thin coat of water. Initially that the colors can blend in an ice way and the brush can move a little bit smoother. I'll be taking my round brush of size six. I'll be taking some solid black color in it, and I'll be applying it on the topmost portion. Now we are going to take some cobalt blue in the color palette. I'll be using my same size 11 flat brush. Clean it in water, make it completely dry, and take some good amount of cobalt blue in it. Simply apply it below the black color. You can observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple horizontal movement. We are going to blend this particular color with the black color that we have applied on the top portion. Try to make it a little bit dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper and simply observe the horizontal movement between the black and cobalt blue together. Now I'll be starting from the bottom portion, slowly moving towards the above area. You can observe a beautiful blend between the black and cobalt blue. Now we are going to apply some ceruline blue on the bottom portion. Take some good amount of serine blue in the color palette. In the remaining portion, we are going to apply this cerroline blue. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Make sure that there isn't any space left on the entire coaster. Now simply blend this particular color with the bale blue applied on the above area. Just make sure that your brush is a little bit dry, dab it onto the tissue paper carefully, and just apply it in between the bal blue and the ceruline blue. Now you can observe a beautiful gradient effect from black to ceruline blue. Let the background dry for a while. Now we are going to paint some beautiful clouds in the background. I'll be taking my round brush of size, some solid white color in it. Now we are going to apply these little horizontal strokes in a random manner. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and random shapes in the sky. There isn't any specific way of painting them. You can create your own shapes and composition as well. You can play with the combination of horizontal strokes together. You can create two to three cluster of clouds together as well. You can observe that I have created a nice patch, a cluster of clouds basically on the left hand portion. And I'll be using the tip of my round brush to create thinner horizontal strokes by applying least pressure on it. It's a very fun and easy step to do and it's also very satisfying in case you are not that much confident enough to paint it directly to your final coaster and you do not want to spoil your colorful background. You can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. Now I have simply cleaned my round brush in the water and I'll be dabbing it onto the tissue paper to make it a little bit dry. Now we are going to apply the horizontal strokes again on the solid white patch that we have created. You can observe a beautiful blend with the background and the clouds together. You can also observe a beautiful contrast between the colorful background and the solid white clouds that we have created. There is a cluster of clouds on the left hand portion and there is a cluster of clouds on the right hand side as well. The more you blend the white color with the background, the better output you'll get. And it will look even more smoother in case you want to play with the shapes and sizes of the clouds. That is also absolutely fine. We are done with the clouds. Now we are going to add some bushes on the bottom area which are basically the plantations. It is going to have a nice variation in the entire outline. I'll be using the tip of my round brush to create these leaves on the outer portion, No need to hurry at all. You can simply observe the movement of my round brush. I'm just leaving these little thin strokes creating a nice bushy outline. Now, starting from the left hand portion, slowly, I'll be having a nice variation in the depth and the height of the plantation. Slowly, I'll be moving towards the right hand side. Once we are done with the outline, we are going to fill in solid black color on the inner portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner so you can observe we are almost done with the outline. You can use the tip of your round brush to create a nice outline. Now, once we are done with the plantation, we are going to fill in solid black color so that we can create a nice fill out. No need to hurry at all. You can observe the movement of the round brush and it's a simple vertical movement. You have to apply the color in a certain way. Make sure that you do not have axis amount of water in your solid black color. It will decrease the saturation of your color. Also, make sure that there is no space left while you're applying solid black color that will not look nice once the color dries up. In case you're not that much confident enough to paint the entire sell out directly towards your final painting, you can definitely practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will definitely improvise your brush strokes, the chances of making mistakes will be very less. Now, I'll be creating a nice tree trunk. Starting from the topmost portion, you can observe the way I'm painting the tree trunk. But before that, let me tell you that tree trunk generally also have a very natural and random shape. No need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. But you can definitely follow these steps. We are starting from the topmost portion, creating two branches which are connecting together. Now once we connect both the branches together, we are going to create an entire tree trunk which is going to be a little bit thicker. You can observe that I'm applying a little bit of pressure on my round brush of size four so that we can paint a little bit of more surface. You can observe that I'm using the tip of my round brush to create a perfect outline. You can see this is how we have painted a beautiful tree trunk which is a little bit bigger in size. Now similarly, we are going to paint one more tree trunk, which is going to be on the left hand portion, just beside the first one. But this time they have applied a little bit less pressure on the round brush, creating thinner strokes. You can observe a beautiful composition between two tree trunks. Now, Similarly, I'll be adding a little bit of branches on the topmost portion using the tip of my round brush, and no need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Also, in case you're not that much confident enough to paint the tree trunks directly towards your final coaster and you do not want to spoil your colorful background. You can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will help you a lot to develop your brush strokes and it will also decrease the chances of making mistakes. Now adding these little strokes on the bottom portion, I'm just trying to add some bushes on the bottom area so that the tree trunk can have a nice composition. With the bottom portion as well, you can observe a beautiful contrast between the background and the tree trunks that we have painted. Now, similarly, we'll be adding one more tree trunk on the right hand side. The steps are absolutely same, you just have to use the tip of your round rush. Apply a little bit of pressure. This particular tree trunk is also a little bit thinner than the first one that we painted. You can also add these little branches connecting together. No need to worry at all. You can paint it according to your convenience as well. You can also create a nice composition. You can experiment with the shape and sizes as well. Now, I'll be adding a little bit of bush on the left hand portion. I'm just using these little strokes, creating a nice bushy area. You can observe the movement of my round brush carefully. Now we are going to connect this bush with the entire landscape area that we have painted on the bottom portion. Very slowly, just use the tip of your round brush and connect a small branch with the bottom portion. We are done with all the elements. Now let us paint a beautiful moon in the entire background area. I'll be taking my round brush of size, clean it in water. Now, take some solid white color in the color palette. Make sure that you take a good amount of solid white color in your color palette and dab your brush to the tissue paper to remove axis amount of water. Now we are simply going to paint a circular shape in between the tree trunks that we have painted so that we can get a nice composition. There isn't any specific way of painting a moon. You just have to paint a circular shape. You can have a different type of moon, like you can paint a crescent moon as well. But I'm trying to have a circular shape. I'm trying to paint a full moon. Only. No need to hurry at all. Paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Use the tip of your detailing brush to paint. In smaller portion, we are done with the entire coaster. Now let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed the entire process and got to learn something new from this particular painting. You can create your own composition and scenery as well. Now let us move towards the next painting. 8. Painting 5 - The Beach: Hey everybody. You're most welcome to the fifth painting, which is the beach. As you can observe, I'm ready with all my art supplies nearby and the coaster is also ready. I'll be using a simple pencil this time to create a horizon line, which is going to separate the sky area and the water body. You can just simply draw a horizontal line, which is basically the diagonal for the entire coaster, I'll be using my flat brush of size 11 and we're going to apply a thin coat of water on the above portion, we are going to paint a gradient sky first. That's why I'm applying a thin coat of water above the horizon line. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply an even coat of water. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique. The first color is move that we are going to use take some amount of color in the color palette. The reason behind applying a thin coat of water initially is so that we can blend the colors together in a nice way. The second color is rose that I have also taken in my color palette. We are going to take the same flat brush of size 11 and just above the horizon line. Apply a nice coat of color. No need to hurry at all. You can observe a simple horizontal movement of my flat brush. We are not going to apply the move color on the entire portion, We're just going to apply it on the half portion. So you can observe that we have applied a nice saturated color. Now similarly, we are going to apply the rose color on the above portion. Clean your flat brush in water. Make it completely dry by simply dabbing it onto the tissue paper. Now, take some good amount of rose color in it and apply it on the topmost portion. Right now, you can observe a line of separation between both the colors. Slowly, try to blend both the colors together. Since the brush is dry, you can just apply the horizontal strokes. In case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, just simply dab it on tissue paper and then you can apply the horizontal strokes again. Now let the background dry and you can observe how beautiful the entire radiant effect looks. Now similarly, we'll be applying another thin coat of water just below the horizon line. We are going to paint the water body now, no need to hurry at all. Try to apply an even coat of water and make sure that there is no space left. We are going to take some rows in the flat brush of size 11, and you have to apply it very carefully just below the horizon line. Use the tip of your flat brush to paint it carefully. You can observe the movement of my flat brush. We have applied a nice coat of rows. In case you have access, amount of water in your brush, just simply dab it on tissue paper so that it will be removed and you can get a nice saturation of color. I'll be taking my round brush of size four and we are going to take some solid black color in the color palette. Dab your brush to the tissue paper to remove axis amount of water. Now we'll be making these horizontal strokes on the background color that we painted right now. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply these horizontal strokes in a random manner. You can paint in the combination of two to three strokes together, but make sure that you do not apply a lot of strokes. Waves are also generally in a very random and natural manner in a water body. It is absolutely fine. It is not at all compulsory that you have to paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can apply these strokes in your own composition as well. I'll be using the same flat brush, which is completely dry, and we'll be applying a horizontal stroke on it that it will get a nice blend with the background color. Right now it might look a little bit shabby, but once we are going to apply white strokes, it will look a little bit more in detail, in depth. In case you find your brush moving a little bit rough on the entire surface, you can add a little bit of water, but make sure that it is not in an excessive amount. Now you can observe a nice depth between the black and the rose color, which we painted in the background. Now we are going to clean the round brush of size four. And this time we're going to take some solid white color in the color palette. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. After we have taken some good amount of solid white color in the color palette, just dab your brush to the tissue paper. That axis amount of water and color, both will be removed. Now we are going to apply white horizontal strokes. Earlier we applied black horizontal strokes. Now we are applying white horizontal strokes. You can apply this in a very random manner. Use the tip of your round brush to apply these beautiful horizontal strokes. You can create your own composition as well. Now, using the same flat brush, which is very dry, we are just applying the horizontal strokes on that again, and you can observe a beautiful blend between all the three colors. Now let the colors dry for a while. Now let us paint some beautiful clouds in the sky area. We are going to use the same round brush of size fo take some solid white color in it and you're going to create these beautiful horizontal strokes. Having variation in sizes. No need to hurry at all. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and random shapes in the sky. You can create your own composition of the clouds and also you can play with the shape and sizes. You just have to observe the movement of my detailing brush. I'm just using the tip of the brush to apply these horizontal strokes, which are combining together to form a beautiful cluster of clouds. So initially I've started from the right hand portion having a nice cluster of clouds which is moving towards the left hand portion. Now slowly I'll be decreasing the size of the strokes that I'm making. Whenever you want to have thinner horizontal strokes, just apply least pressure on the brush so that you can get a nice rough texture. And the horizontal strokes that you're making will be very thin in case you are not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly towards your background and you do not want to spoil the colorful background. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will definitely help you to improvise your brush strokes and it will also enhance your confidence while painting. We are done painting the clouds in the sky area. Now we are going to paint some beautiful mountains just above the horizon line. I'll be taking my round brush of size four again and I'll be taking some good amount of solid black color in it. Make sure that you have a good saturation of color. In case you have axis amount of water, just dab your brush to the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed. Simply use the tip of your round brush to paint just above the horizon line so that we do not spoil the painting. No need to here at all try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. I'm creating the outline first for the entire mountain body, then we are going to fill in solid black color inside. Since you can observe that it's a very small portion where we are painting right now. You can use the tip of your round brush so that you can paint in this difficult area. Or I can say a smaller area. This is how we have painted a beautiful mountain body. Now in order to create a little bit of reflection effect, you can add some smaller horizontal strokes just below the mountain body that we have painted right now. Now we'll be taking some more solid black color in the brush and we're going to create a small rock body. This rock body is basically placed in the water area that we have painted so you can create a beautiful outline, and then you can fill in solid black color inside. Once we have painted the rock body, we are going to create its reflection effect just below the entire rock body. It's a very simple and easy step. You just have to create these horizontal strokes just below the rock body. Try to apply these little horizontal strokes, and as you move towards the bottom area, simply decrease the size of the strokes that you're making. No need to hurry at all. Try to have patience and try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. The step basically creates a nice depth and the rock body looks a little bit more realistic on the water body area. We are done with all the elements, now let us add a beautiful moon in the sky. I'll be taking my round brush of size Po again and take some solid white color in it. Add a little bit of water in case you find that the color is a little bit stiff. Now we are going to paint a simple circular shape just above the mountains that we painted. In case you want to paint a crescent moon, that is also absolutely fine. I'm painting a full moon here. I'll be using the tip of my round brush carefully, since we are painting in a very smaller portion. So you have to paint it very carefully because we do not want to spoil the colorful background that we have created in case you are not that much confident enough to paint the Full Moon directly towards your final coaster. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrap of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. Now let us create a beautiful reflection effect of the entire moon onto the water body. Simply create these little horizontal strokes near the entire mountain. The horizontal strokes are going to be a little bit bigger as we move towards the bottom area. We are simply going to decrease the size of the horizontal strokes. It looks as if the reflection effect is getting vanished in the entire water body. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. We are done with the entire coaster. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. This is basically the last coaster for the entire class. I hope that you enjoyed the process of painting this entire coaster and got to learn something new. Now let us move towards the next part. 9. Class Conclusion: Whenever I try to learn different art mediums, I always make sure that I explore them as much as possible. One thing that I loved about gash colors is the mat finish. It gives when it dries. While I was creating this particular class, I made a lot of mistakes working on each and every particular class project. So don't be afraid of making any mistakes. It's a part of learning process. One thing that I always suggest my students is to maintain an art journal on which you can practice on a regular basis and keep a record of your artwork. Creating these colorful night skies that two on circular coasters was a very new experience for me as well. I'll be very excited to see all of your class projects into the project gallery. Feel free to ask any doubts or questions you have related to the class. It would be really great if you can leave a review for this class as it encourages me a lot. I'm very happy and excited to share this class with all of you. At the end, I would like to say enjoy the entire process. Keep learning, keep practicing. Thank you so much for joining and happy painting.
