Create Whimsical Watercolor Scenes

1. Introduction to Whimsical Watercolor Scen Updatede: Welcome to my class on creating your own whimsical watercolor seen. This is near and dear to my heart because this style came out of my need to kinda breakaway my work from my creativity and my, I am creative. I get to work in a creative business and I feel so blessed about that. But sometimes I just want to be creative just for me. And so I started these paintings, Easter at Easter this year. And I just loved them. And I just started dreaming up what I would want my house to look like one day or a garden, or kind of like the storybook fairytale land. And I'm showing you some paintings that I've done. I've just enjoyed it so much. So I wanted to bring this class to teach others how to do it. And I think that it's a great way to let loose, especially if you are a creative and you want to just create for yourself or just explore and new medium. So perfect class for you. I am listing this as an intermediate class because I'm not going to teach you how to use watercolors. And I'm not going to teach you how to draw. If you maybe struggle with those two things. I do have a beginners course on watercolor paintings. You can take that first. But the watercolor painting is really straightforward. We're not doing a ton of layers. It's just, we're painting one layer and then we're sketching over it. But I did have to list it as intermediate because if somebody is brand new and coming in, it might be a bit confusing to them. This structure, this class is, we're going to start off by gathering inspiration. There's many places to gather inspiration. You might find a garden in your neighborhood that you really love or maybe places that you've traveled to. I know I took a lot of pictures with my husband and I were in Scotland. I gather inspiration from there. Also, Pinterest is amazing. So we are going to be focusing mainly on Pinterest just because it's available to everybody. And from there, we're gathering and CFO of what we want our painting to be. Gathering little pieces. I'll show you how to do that and then we're going to sketch it out. And then we're going to paint it. And then we are going to add the ink and then your piece will be finished. I know it sounds like a lot, but it's actually a pretty simple process. Just a really fun creative process of dreaming and kind of creating this little world that you love. I say this in all my videos, but I'm really excited to teach you guys this painting style. I think it's just a great way to get in the flow, getting your creative flow, and have a relaxing time. I know that sometimes on a Sunday I will want to just do an art class that isn't, I don't want to learn something new necessarily. I just want to have fun and get my creative juices flowing. So that's what I hope this class is for you. I made it that way and I hope that you love it. I can't wait to see what you guys create it. Let's get started. 2. Class Project: The class project is pretty straightforward. You're going to be creating the class project while you do this class, where you're going to create your own whimsical watercolor seen. And as you, as we go through the class, you'll notice that you can make it any way you want. Or you can also follow along with what I'm drawing and painting and you can do the exact same thing if you want. So this is really open to your creative choices and freedom. And I just want this to be an enjoyable experience for you, but please, please, please post your projects. I'm absolutely love to see what you guys create. 3. Supplies: For this class, you're going to need a few supplies. So the first thing we're gonna be using is you're going to need watercolor paper because we're using watercolor paint with water, you need something that can absorb that water. You can use watercolor, cold press, watercolor paper, or hot press. I actually use hot press for all of the series that I created around this. But today I am using cold press, watercolor, colored paper. Whatever one you want to use, that's totally fine. You're going to need watercolor paints, brushes, and water jars. I like to use two jars because I use one for cool colors and one for warm colors so it doesn't mute them down. And then you will need a pen. Now, I like to use a waterproof pen with archival ink because it doesn't bleed when I add in the paint. So that's totally up to you. I'll give instructions when we get further along. But if you are using a pen that is not waterproof, you'll need to paint first and then put the pen over it, which is the order that we're gonna do it in this class. But you can, if you have a waterproof pen, you can do the pen first and then paint after. Hope that wasn't too confusing. Alright, so those are the supplies we need and we can get started. 4. Gathering Inspiration For Your Scene: Alright, one of the first things that we need to do is gather inspiration for our piece of artwork. And a couple of places you can go. I love Pinterest. It's just a really great place that I like to go to dream and to think of all of these different paintings that I wanna do. But another place that you can go is you can get into your photos or maybe travels that you've been on. Or locally if there's places that you really love, like it doesn't even have to be the whole home or a whole scene. It can just be little aspects of it. So this is our trip to Scotland. We did a 100 mile backpacking trip. And I really liked this little rooster right here. And maybe like this fence and the stone here. And maybe I want to draw some sheep in there so I could grab that from here. I could also get that on Pinterest. Or there's also this beautiful little cottage that is so cute. And this is definitely a style that I like. So you can look at your photos from traveling. But right now, I'm going to focus on Pinterest. So couple of things, let me get into my home feed. A couple of things is what we are going to, or at least I'm going to gather images that are more cottage core, that theme right now that's really outdoorsy English garden feel. And you just start going to search those. So let's say I'll just search cottage core because it'll come up for sure. And we're just looking for things that we are inspired by. I really like this photo with all of these roses around the window. I would love to incorporate that. I already have a cottage core boards setup, but set up, you can name your board wherever you want. Set up a board and then just start saving images to that board. So I actually already have this image saved to that board. Another thing you can do is if you're not into cottage core, you could do maybe Italian countryside. And you can start gathering that. I actually really like this photo, these little garden boxes. I would love to add that to my board and maybe to a piece of artwork. Just going, I have so many boards there we go. All right. We're just going through here. I might, I am going to go back to cottage core. You could also put in farm life. We're just making little whimsical scenes. I loved the idea of having my own little cottage one day with a farm. And that just seems so romantic and relaxing and wonderful to me. So I really love just creating that in my mind. What you're doing is you're just gathering all these little aspects that you would like to have in your own little whimsical scene that we're going to be painting. I really like these chickens. I think that they would be great. I'm going to add those. I do. If you do want a structure such as a house or a cottage, I would definitely try to grab a whole picture of one just because it's going to make it a little bit easier. If you're really good at drawing architectural structures, then you can totally just make up your own, but I like to at least have a starting image and then work around that. So if I just put in cottage, Let's see what comes up. I really like this one. I can add this. And when I start to sketch out my drawing, I can, I don't have to make it look exactly like this. I can add more florals around the windows, or maybe I wanna do little garden boxes on the windows. If I needed a picture that I would say garden window box, see if it comes up. Perfect. And I really liked this one was all the greenery. Just add that to my board. So you guys get the picture here. What you're doing is just gathering as much inspiration as possible. Take as much time as you want with this. I like to pour myself a cup of tea or coffee or maybe wine is your thing. And just enjoy this process. Just dream and think about what you'd want your ideal home or garden to look like and grab photos from that. And then we're going to start sketching in the next section in this class. 5. Sketching Your Scene : The next step in this process is we need to sketch out our design. So we've already gathered lots of inspiration photos and I've put together a little mood board that's helpful for me. But if you have a Pinterest board, that's totally fine and you can use that. Just put together a mood board because it's easier to explain it to you guys. What I do is I've grabbed all the images that I really loved that I want to incorporate into my watercolor painting. I really like the house on the upper left-hand side over here. I want to incorporate a chicken. I really liked the white chicken with the red. I don't know what you call that. But the white and the red chicken, I want to add a little dear, I really liked this garden box outside of the window. So I think I'm going to add it onto the little cottage. And that's the cool thing about this, is you get to dream up what you want to create, and there's no rules. You can don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's just about having fun and developing something that you are excited about. And if it doesn't turn out great the first time, you can always do it again. Down here under the garden box, there's this really pretty, I like these yellow flowers and the bright pink ones and the fence. I might incorporate the fence, but I'm not sure. Then on the right side there's this really cute wagon with little buckets of flowers. I definitely want to add that into my drawing. And then finally, this bottom image on the bottom right, I like that stone walkway and that's something else I want to incorporate into my drawing. Now that you know what you wanna do, You are going to sketch it out. Now. If you are not super confident and you're sketching abilities, or you feel like you're going to erase things a lot, which is totally fine. There's no shame at all in that. I recommend getting a separate notepad and sketching out your design first. I do this a lot when I have a lot of ideas in my head and I don't see a clear picture of what I want to create. And I did this recently with a painting because I really needed to lay it out first before I started on my watercolor paper. And the reason you want to do that is because if you start drawing on your watercolor paper with pencil and then you're erasing a bunch. You're really doing some damage to the paper because the paper is textured and the eraser can lift some of that texture off and we don't want that. So again, if you feel super confident, go ahead, sketch right on here. I'm going to sketch right on here today. But if not, grab a separate piece of paper and sketch their first. Alright, we are starting this sketching process. And obviously all of our sketches are going to look different because we're all thinking of a different kind of dream house or a garden or whatever. So I'm going to sketch it out. You can follow along with me if you want to do exactly what I'm doing. But if you have your own ideas that you want to sketch out, feel free to use this time to do that. So I like to start with the house. Just because it kinda gives me the foundation over. I'm gonna put everything else and keep in mind perspectives. So if the house is going to be farther off in the distance, you don't want it to be really huge right here. Then have something really small. This needs whatever is here, it needs to be a little bigger and then the house a little smaller. So just keep in mind when you're viewing something. The size of things, that kinda helps to make it look more realistic. You don't have to get super detailed. I'm going to need an eraser here. But you don't have to get super detailed because we can add a lot more detail when we do the pen. But you just basically want to sketch out the outline. I'm going to put the windows in here. I'm going to grab an eraser really quick because I made a mistake. These gummy racers are great for watercolor paper. Because you just press them down and they help take off the the pencil marks without hurting the paper. But if you use it too much, it will eventually hurt the paper. Do this a little bit. Okay? Then when we got a little chimney here, so we're just doing the basic outline and I do a door. I'm actually going to change it up and not do the door exactly the same as I saw it. Not as okay. This is really just a practice in my mind, a mindfulness practice and getting into the flow state with your artwork. Because I think it's really easy to just get so judgmental about our artwork and not just have fun. I want this to be fun for you guys. So don't worry that XYZ isn't perfect. Alright? And there's gonna be a little bit of plants here. I'm just going to make a rough outline. Actually made a mistake here. This needs to be further like this. There we go, a little window here. And then they have a lot of flowers, which I love, some holly hawks. But I'll remember to put flowers on those. I don't have to do every small detail and make sure your pencil lines are really, really light. Okay? So we got the house down. I know this is gonna be a thatched roof. Sorry, not thatch. I don't know what that's called, but it's it's like little teeny squares. So we're going to have that. And we can add more detail later. And then I wanted to do I wanted to add a garden box here. So I'm going to put the little garden boxes under this, these windows. And I'll be sure to just add some flowers in there. So we got that part and then the deer the deer is obviously we're not going to make it as big as the house, but if we want it more in the foreground, weight now, Yeah, like right here, we're going to do a little bit bigger. I struggle sometimes with drawing animals, so we'll see how this especially dear, I don't know what it is about deer, they always throw me off. I don't like this. Okay, I'm not gonna do a dir. See that's the fun part. You get to decide what you wanna do and what you don't want to do. I am going to make this little wagon up here. And the wagon is closer so we can make it a little bigger. Kinda making sure that we're keeping with the perspective of it. I'm just putting some pots in here and just doing some rough outlines about what the flowers would look like. Nothing too detailed. We're gonna get to that later. And we got these big old wheels. Okay, maybe we'll put the little handle down here in the grass. Alright, and then I want to add some chickens. They kind of look a little. Maybe these ones can be a little bigger because they're closer to the viewer. They're kinda fluffy. But maybe back here we have really small chickens. Because it's further back. We can put another one over here. And I wanted to put that really cute walkway. Do that. The stones are not touching. There's grass growing in-between them. Super cute. This style of artwork I developed it by. I rarely just paint for myself. Everything is usually client work or or I'm trying to turn it into a product. And I just sat down on Easter this year and I said, I'm just going to make something for myself. I came up with this series and yes, now it is a product. I do sell it as an art print and my Etsy shop or art prints. But it was really fun to develop it. And I felt like I was in that flow state with my artwork and it felt really good. That's all I wanted to make this class because I want you guys to experience that as well. Okay, so I'm gonna put because we're kind of like we need something over here. I'm going to put a tree. Maybe kinda like an oak tree. Just a general outline will be able to fill in more details later. Maybe I'll put two, like a little baby tree over here. And that's the cool thing about this tool, is you can kind of fill in. So if you see an empty spot, you can add a tree, you can add a fence with some flowers. Whatever you want to do. I'm going to keep this pretty simple just for teaching purposes. But this is my drawing. And now we are ready to paint. Now that we have our sketch done, we need to start the color and the inking. You have one or two options here. If you have a pen like this pen, this is from the pigeon letters. All. I'll add it to the description of this class or the info for this class. But this is waterproof ink. So I could go ahead and sketch this all out with ink and then paint over it and the ink would not bleed. I believe it's called archival ink is like that. If you do not have a pen with archival ink or waterproof ink, then you're going to need to do the watercolor artwork first. For this class, I'm just going to assume that not everyone has the waterproof ink. So we are going to paint first and then add the ink afterwards. 6. Painting Your Scene: All right, We're going to start painting, and I have my watercolor palette over here. And the cool thing about this style of painting is I don't use a lot of layers, which means it's kind of a quicker way to paint. Now I am going to tell you that these pencil lines are pretty dark. So if I wasn't teaching this class, I would come in with my gummy eraser and just press down and pick up some of this. But I want you to be able to see it because if I make it too late, you're not gonna be able to see it. If yours is this dark, just grab an eraser and kinda pull up some of it a little bit. It's not the end of the world, but it does help if it's a little bit lighter, since we are only going to be using about one layer of watercolor artwork. If you've done any of my other watercolor classes, or if you've looked at my artwork online, I use tons and tons of layers for my artwork. And it takes hours and hours and hours. But for this class, we end this kind of style of painting. I just do one layer of paint and we keep it pretty light. And then we come in with the pen. I'm just going to start painting and whatever you guys have drawn, feel free to grab your watercolor paints and start painting your artwork. If anybody is, has done the same exact, same exact drawing as I have, you can just follow along with me. I'm just grabbing a yellowy green for the trees. I like to paint from the left-hand side down because I'm right handed. So I I don't get in my own way with my paint. But if you are left-handed, you would start on the right-hand side and paint down. So you don't end up with your hand in your artwork. And we're just, I like to call like filling in the colors almost like a coloring book because we're not worrying about things being too perfect. You can also, as I mentioned in the beginning, you can use hot press, watercolor paper, or you can use cold press. I'm using cold press today, but for my series that I did with this style painting, I use hot press paper. I ended up using it just because I had extra I needed to get rid of it and it was awesome. I am mixing up a little bit darker color and I'm just going to poke it in a little bit, just to give a little variation. It's really going to come alive when you add the ink. So honestly, in my opinion, I don't think you can mess this up. You're just adding color. It is nice to add some darker shades just to show where things might be shadowed. But it's not, don't worry about getting things perfect. That does not matter. Now, I'm going to grab some brown for the trunk. Again, just painting it in. Normally I would speed this up because I know you guys might be painting something different than I am. But if you are painting along with me, I want you to see everything. So feel free to fast forward or pause this if you are interested in watching me paint this, or just have me on in your background. Art can be so meditative. And I really want this to feel meditative to you guys and relaxing. And just like a fun class that you do on the weekends. I'd love to learn new things, but sometimes on the weekend I just want to do something to fuel my creativity. And sometimes it's hard for me to find a class on Skillshare that's just for fun. No, not trying to teach me a new skill. So I hope that this feels like that for you. It's a unique style of painting with the ink and the watercolor and the sketching. I just want you to have fun with it. I'm going to make a grey roof just like the photo that I looked at. If you go a little outside the line, that's okay. And if your watercolor bleeds a little bit into another color, that's also okay. And if you guys have never painted with watercolor before, I did mark this class as a intermediate level just because I'm not teaching you how to paint with watercolors. But I do have a beginner course all about painting with watercolor. If you need that. I'm just dabbing in here where I'm going to have some greenery. I don't have to get too detailed. But I do want to alternate the shades of green, so there's some interests in here when you're looking at it. But I'm going to do all those fine details with my pen. Maybe add a little more green here. I can't wait to see what you guys create. I, I just loved this. I think it's so fun. Creating your own little watercolor world. Now I'm gonna come in and I have some finer points. So I grabbed a smaller brush. But around the windows have kind of like a bluish. I'm gonna do a bluish purple color outlining the windows. But making sure I leave room for the little flower pots outside the windows. Then I have the door that has this in there too. Homes remind me of little cottages like in the English countryside. There we go. And maybe a gray color for these little boxes. Sometimes I like to paint the inside of the window panes, just add a little gray so it looks like there's a reflection a little bit. And then obviously here, this side would be shadowed a little bit. So I add in a little color and then I just come in with water and move it around. So it looks shaded compared to this side. Little things like that will really enhance your paintings. And then I want to add in some flowers. So I'm gonna grab some pinks and reds and purples and it's literally just like tapping and this is going to bleed a little bit because this is wet, but I'm okay with that. Just tap, tap, tap. Little pops of color. This is a pretty color. And think about, you know, are they big blooms? Are they little tiny flowers? There are so many flowers in this world. It's pretty amazing. And then I'm going to add some yellow. And we can't forget about our flower boxes. So I'm gonna start with some green just to kinda block that in. Maybe it's coming over the edges a little bit. Super cute. Then just popping in some yellow. When we went to Scotland, the gardens. Oh my gosh, they were so incredible. People really. I mean, there's so much rain there. I'm, I'm from Southern California, so we're always in a drought or having a water shortage. But there, there's so much rain that the flowers and the plants, they just love it. Okay, I'm pretty much done with this for right now. We're going to add more details later with the ink. I might add just a little, maybe a little darker shade to the roof. So there's some interests. But I don't have to get super fancy. Like that looks weird right now, but once we draw over it, it'll look good. Then. To me, the sun, oops, I did that wrong. The sun is coming this way. So the shadow, we have shadow over here and then we would have a shadow over here. Adding in shadows can really enhance your artwork a lot. All right, Now, I want to do some graphs in here because I want the grass to go between all these cute little stones. I've been using the same green color, so I'm going to add a little more yellow to it. And I'm just going to paint all around these little stones. I hope that you guys share what you create in your class projects or the class project section on this class. It makes me so happy to see what you guys make and just knowing if you enjoyed the class or not, because I want you guys to enjoy these classes so I welcome all feedback. Hopefully you'll love it though. Just alternating the saturation of your paint in here as good. Just to make it a little interesting. You can just poke in some darker colors if you want to. Because when you look at things in nature, they're usually never one solid color. There's always some nuances there. And then I'm just grabbing a bunch of water and going out from there but not painting over my chickens. Make sure you paint around them because we need to paint them another color. So we are going to have to wait until this dries to paint them in this chicken, especially because it's white. So we want to make sure that we were not going to be painting it white or just gonna be using the paper. It's cool. I can see this starting to come together. And it's a big trend right now, that cottage core trend. And at first I'm like, What the heck is that? But I was thinking, Wait, I've liked this forever, but I just didn't call it cottage core. Are all trends kind of like it's like they get a new name and then it's super popular. So make sure to paint around these flowers are just leave some space so you can paint the flowers. Like don't just leave some white paper. And then we'll have, I think I want to add in some flowers down here just on the ground. That's feeling a little blank to me. So I'm going to finish up. We want the wheels of this wagon to be in the grass. Just paint that. Like so. Another thing too, if you're painting this and you're wanting to create an art print or you want it to fit inside of a frame. Have the size in mind before you paint. That's something that we do wrong a lot where I just start painting. Then I realized that this is never going to fit in the frame that I wanted. So a good size is eight by ten because that's a very common frame size. Okay. So we have all the grass and then maybe we just want to add in like a couple little darker spots of grass. There would probably be shadows under here because it's where the wagon is. We can just kinda leave those will enhance them later with ink. Alright. I wanted to add some little flowers down here. I'm gonna grab and go read it. Kinda like a yellowy hot pinkish color. And just tapping it in, it's going to bleed a little bit. But we can define it with the pen. Maybe do just some straight up yellow. Maybe we want to do a little yellow over here. Maybe right over here. All right. Now we don't want this to bleed too much, so we're going to wait until this dries a little bit before we start putting in the wheels because we're going to use a color that probably dark gray and we don't want that bleeding onto the green for these little stones. I'm going to grab just a brownish gray color and just add some color there. Make sure you kinda play with the saturation. So maybe some of them are really light and some of them are darker. Honestly, it doesn't matter if you paint on the green too. That's what I love about this style of painting. I think get lends itself really well to to making quote unquote mistakes. Because the pen kinda defines what you want it to and end. Okay? I'm good with those. I'm going to add a little bit of a darker shade in these windows. Just kinda helps you see that there's light shining. That's some water to mix it in. Alright, I think we can paint our little chickens. I'm gonna make this one brown. It's just going to look like a brown blob right now, but that'll change later. Then this guy staying, staying white, but he's going to have this little red thing and a little red crown thing. Then the beak can be yellow, orange. Dupe. Sometimes I like to come in and even though it's a white bird, add just a little bit of a shadow. Because no animals for is completely white, has little nuances of other colors. Kind of a shadow underneath because the light would hit the top, but the bottom would cast a shadow. Now I'm just going to come in here and add tons of color because this is our little wagon full of beautiful flowers. Maybe I want to make a sunflower, so I'm going to make it dark in the middle. Have some roses. Again. Don't worry about the detail. But you are going to want to add like, have a plan in mind. Like, Oh, these are gonna be bigger blooms are, these are gonna be long skinny flowers. Because if you don't have just a general plan, then it is kind of hard once you start drawing, you're like, Oh wait, I should have done this. Oops, that's okay. Like color, could we use something really light? If you are using the archival pen that's waterproof, you can come back in later and add more color if you decide that you need it. I'm going to make these vases kind of a terracotta color. Since we're using the pen, this original wagon has this kind of like fencing on it. And the black pen will cover that up or be able to show that really easily. So I'm not worried about painting these **** like straight without making bleeding whitespace for the fencing. Okay. I might just kinda make this gray just to make it seem like we just don't want it to be completely white because it doesn't really make sense of it is a paint. These wheels, straight black is a little harsh, so I watered it down so it's more like a gray. And then the middle, we're going to leave white. And I'm going to add some greenery to these flowers because most flowers have greenery. And this guy can also come down painted. All right. This looks pretty good to me and I think we're ready to move on. So let this dry completely and then we'll come back with our Pen. 7. Adding Ink : Now we're ready to finish up our artwork. We're going to finish it with a pen. Like I said, I like to use these Micron pens. This one has archival ink so it's waterproof. If I needed to add in more color anywhere I could do it with this pen. But now I'm just going in and sketching out the details. You can oh, as far as size goes for your pen, I'm using a 01 size, but a 0508, those are all great. A is a lot thicker. So if you don't like really thick pens, you want it to look more sketchy. You might want to do a thinner line. I'm just coming in and adding little details like you would if you were just drawing a tree. It's really a sketch style. So you can do these little C curves and they look fine. Sometimes I add in a couple of little leaves, leaves shapes. So you know, like those leaves in this tree. But I really liked the little C curves. As you can see, you just can't mess this up. That's why I like these little wet. Then I like to do strokes that are like kinda messy a little bit because I like that sketch looked. But if you want something that's more clean and crisp, you can totally do that as well. And I'm just adding in details. So for example, there might be some knots on the tree or some veins through the wood. This is your time to add in all those details. So that's why I was saying that the watercolor painting doesn't matter too much. It's fun to add in a little depth than shadowing and stuff. But really your detail is coming from your pen. And then the roof here. And I'm just going to draw some lines across it. Maybe some crosshatching. And then the chimney has some bricks in it. It's gonna kinda draw that in all of these little flowers. Now you can go in and outline them. Now because this is so far away, you don't need a ton of details here. But you just want to get the general idea. So if you're having a hard time knowing what kind of shapes to come up with here. Maybe go outside and if there's a garden that's maybe in your next-door neighbor's yard. Kind of squint at it and see what shapes you see. That's kind of helpful because this is going to be further away. So you're not looking at really tiny details. It's almost like just making this little flower shape, like blobby flower shapes. And then maybe you want some grass, so that'll be just lines. There's a door here. Maybe put a little knob for the door. Maybe some little details here. There's a lot here, so you don't have to outline every single thing, but I'm just gonna do the edges. The garden box, another garden box. And if you're not able, like if you're like, Wow, she's going way too fast. You don't have to go at my speed. This is about you and what feels comfortable to you. I like going out a fast speed because it makes me feel like it's a little more sketchy looking. But if you're more precise and you want more time or you just need time to learn this. That's totally fine. Take your time. I like to do little dots sometimes too. And then be mindful of where there might be a shadow. So under the door there's probably gonna be a little darker shadow. And then where the plants kinda meet the grass, a little darker shadow. It's just so fun to do this. It feels so easy. Like, like I can't mess it up. I think that's why I get in such a flow state when I do these kinds of paintings is because it's just like you can make it whatever you want. There's no rules. Well, there's a little bit of rules, I guess. Chicken over here. Then. All I am going to outline these kind of more smoothly. Some depth than this chicken is. Kind of has its head in the ground. So you don't even have to do that much detail and people just get the point. At least I think they do this bill chicken. In the information for this class, I'll put the pen that I'm using in case you want to purchase it. But there's a lot of sicker and makes a really good pen. I like the ones from the pigeon letters. She also is against animal cruelty because a lot of, I don t think pens, but a lot of paint brushes, our cruel to animals. And I didn't know that before I bought her, her brushes, which are cruelty free. So I really recommend those. Now that we're getting a little bit closer, we are going to have to provide a little more detail on the flowers because this would be the closest to us. For roses, I kinda just do these little C curves. Starting in the middle and then coming out. And then I'm going to pretend this is a dahlia. So it has more pointy petals that maybe these are some names. Maybe this is another dahlia. Maybe this is a sunflower. Yeah, these ones people are going to see closer. We get a little more detail and then this is the wagon here. We're going to have to give more detail with the crosshatching. So first I would outline the pods back here. And then I would come in and make the crosshatching. Because this is a sketch, it can, doesn't have to be perfect. People will get the general point of this. And I'm trying to think, this would go probably this way. The perspective thing is always hard. Then we'll do these guys. You will put a little texture and the tires. Then these can be really teeny flowers. We don't have to do too much. Even though they are closer. We don't have to do a ton of detail. Maybe put a little leaves on there. Can you believe it? We're almost done. You might not be almost done. That's okay. Take your time. Then sometimes I like to just add some little grassy patches. Then sign your artwork. There you have it. It's our little whimsical watercolor seemed. To me. It's a lot easier than painting, a more realistic watercolor painting, but I hope that you guys really enjoyed this. And thank you for painting along with me. 8. Conclusion: I hope you guys enjoyed this class. If you could please post in the class projects what you created.
