1. Welcome to Daisy Daze!: Hi there. I just want to
take a quick moment to say hi and thank you so much
to all my new followers. But also other followers
that have been with me over the
past three years. I'm an artist and musician based in the
lowlands of Scotland. The classes I provide concentrate mostly on
watercolour. But with a twist. I love experimenting and sharing new techniques from
expressive brush strokes, loose watercolour
styles, and printing. Moving on to our class today, let's paint watercolour
daisies together. We'll be practicing two
easy daisy head techniques. I'll be demonstrating
how to paint with both slow and swift movements to create delicate daisy petals. When you feel ready,
we'll then move on to our three minute little
Marguerite flower project and our class project. Who is this class for? It's designed for new
to painting students, Those who want a go-to flower, which can be used in many ways. It's for those of you
who are looking for an achievable, relaxing
painting session. The Swift gestural
movements may be easier for followers like myself who suffer from our muscle weakness. It's also suitable for fellow artists who might want to clean their
palette with a class in between larger projects or feel they need a gentle
exercise to wind down. And finally, for anyone who finds painting
pretty little flowers, good for their
health, don't forget, there's a great community
on skill share. So if you want to
upload your art in our project section
of this class, that will be fabulous. Thank you in.
2. Materials : I'll run through the
materials that I used, but I don't like to
be too prescriptive. Materials are really expensive. Anything that's an
approximation of what I've used in this
class will be brilliant. First we have Canson
Graduate grey tinted paper, which I used for this class. But check out the
little section I did where I went
through mixing a gray so that you can just do your own background on
white watercolour paper. As for brushes, I just
had a mixing brush. This happened to
be close to hand any brush just so that you can mix
your paints evenly. Now step, if you
don't have stipple bush, check out if anyone in the
house has makeup brushes. Because old makeup
brushes pretty much follow the standard
of artists brushes. By standard, I
mean their shapes and there's often like a dear
foot or a stipple brush in with makeup sets for the petals. I used to filbert shaped brush. This is a number two,
master touch aquamarine. Then we just want
ta detail brush. Any small brush that
you happen to have, it could be a lot larger
than this, actually. As long as it's got
a nice point to it, it's just for making little
details at the end, right These are the three colours
that we're going to be using. If you happen to have Brusho and this is
my favourite moss green, which you'll have seen
in other classes of mine then all well and good, but if you haven't
does not matter. I have used here green gold, perylene green, and a pure yellow. Again, we don't have to have these particular greens or
yellows.. any light colour. Or if you don't
have a light green, you could always use a darker green and mix in some yellow. The pure yellow I think is a lovely base for
the heads as well. Those are the three that
we're going to use primarily along with Dr ph Martin's
bleed proof white. You don't need to
have this either. Here I've got an alternative
that you could use this is Daniel Smith
titanium white gouache or you could use a white
watercolour again, don't worry if you
don't have the Dr. ph Martin's And you can always mix up
with what you've got in your set of paints if you're going to do
your own background. If you've only got white paper, then I used here
black and white. I've got ivory
black, opaque white. It can be only black or white. Please don't worry
if you don't have the exact same colours as me. I've got ultramarine and
I've got burnt umber. I show you how to create a
lovely grey with those colours. Then I also show
you how to create a grey with three primary colours. I'm just going to borrow
this yellow from here. Put that next there. Put this blue here. This is what we're
going to use just to show you another
alternative to mixing gray. Let's move on to the
next section together.
3. Mixing Greys for White Watercolour Paper: If you don't have
any grey paper. Let me just show you how
we can mix a nice gray. I'm using burnt umber. This is a classic one
which you've probably seen lots of artists using. Then I'm going to use ultramarine. So let's mix that up and see what colour that
makes to start with. I'm just gonna get any
old brush, pot of water. Let's just see what we've
got. there's a little bit of green on my brush
from the other day. All right. You can see we've got a nice grey going already. That's a really nice colour. In fact, all of
those are lovely. So you could just paint a wash, let it dry completely, and then just carry on
with a class as you would if you had the
tinted grey paper. The other thing you
can do when you've got these beautiful colorus is you can add a little
bit of white. And that will make
it just a little bit more neutral and opaque. Let's have a look you can always see when you've
mixed on the palette, but you can always have a little sweep on the paper
and see where you're going. See whether you want
to add more blue, more brown, more white. It's a very restful
process actually. And you can just take
your time over this until you get the
grey that you like. That's quite nice actually. That's a very basic grey. And of course, the other
thing that you can do is just mix a
black and white. So I've got some
ivory black here. Just put a little bit down. then the white. This is white water colour, but I do also use the Daniel Smith,
which is lovely. This is very affordable
though, right let's mix just black
and white together. There's nothing wrong with this, if you're just using
it as a background. That's nice as well,
that's a lighter one. We can obviously
make that darker by adding a bit more black. Just make sure
you're going in with a clean brush each time. Just mix all that in when using it as a wash unless you
want to have a streaky effect, which I quite like just
mix it really well, then you'll get a very
uniform background. The final way is to mix the three primary
colous together. I've just picked up
the nearest red, blue and yellow that I have. This is one of my favourite
red perylene red. This is a pure yellow, or try something like new gamboge. try any yellow, there's lots of ways
to achieve a grey. Then we can use the
ultramarine again. Okay, so nice clean brush. Just move my water over there and let's
mix these together. I'm just going to bring it down to this part of
the palette here, you'll find some quite dominant. Just keep playing around until
you've got what you want. It can be playful and fun. I think this is going to be
a little on the brown side. Well, let's have a look. Oh, look a that colour. That's quite nice, isn't it? Earthy brown? If you're getting a brown colour, just need to add a
little bit of the blue. See what we've got now. Yeah, that's more
like a bluey grey, quite like that grey. So you get some lovely, lovely neutrals mixing the
three primaries together. And you can just carry on to
your heart's content until you've found the grey that
you're looking for. See here, I'm going
to put this down. Put too much red in,
but let's have a look. Isn't that gorgeous? Getting a little
sidetracked here. But mixing is so restful
and full of surprises. Just mess around with
the three primaries, and then you can always
add white to it. Then I've got a
lovely pinky grey. I'll leave it there because
it's just really to give you an idea of what you could do
to mix a nice grey. You can put that on
with a wash brush or just the largest brush that you have and fill the whole page. Let it dry, and then we're going to carry on with the
next part of the class.
4. Practising Daisy Shapes: We're going to start with Dr. ph Martin's here and that's
a neat little pool there. What we want then is
to create almost 50/50 if you like. I'm just going to make a
little pool there. I'm going to add more water. Don't be afraid to add water to this because there
aren't any mistakes. And this is all a practice
run, anyway. Go for it! We've got watery white, we've got 50/50, and we've got the neat. What we're going to start
with is the watery mix We're just going to
mess around with that. Pull it through. You can
hardly see that on the page. However, when it's finished, somehow your eye
knows that that's still there when there are
layers on top of it. If you photograph it,
that comes through. It's amazing when it does. Let's go with our
50/50 mix here. You're starting to
see more opacity. Then let's go with
our neat white. Now Dr Ph Martin's is half liquid, it doesn't come out the same
way as out of the tube. In a way I love its consistency though that's a
very opaque white. The way that we're
going to do the petals, I am using the filbert. But again, you can
use a round brush. Let me just grab a round
brush and I can show you. Because I don't like putting
pressure on my followers to buy new materials when
it's not necessary Using the round brush.
Watch for drips. I tend to do my
petals to the side, using the top to
the halfway point. A little like this,
slightly on an angle. But you can also use it like
this, Put the tip down. And
you will have seen this movement in a
lot of other classes. Wiggle and bring it up. Wiggle... looks like wings
quite nice actually. That's the side sweep. I like to call it push down, wiggle. Bring it to the centre That's with the round brush. In this class, I am mentioning the fact that make-up brushes have all the same shapes as artists brushes at a fraction of the
cost! I actually bought these though I don't really wear
a lot of makeup. I bought these for painting with, because they're so
cheap and I like kind of just messing about with the shapes and seeing
what I can get out of it. So have a look, borrow from friends have a look in the house for other
shapes like this. Other brushes.... things
that are not meant to be art brushes, that
actually work really well. This is a lovely little brush, actually probably use that
one again, make-up brush! I know big breakthrough, right?! Let's get back to these
petals that we've done here. We could even go further back, I think, to this, let's add some more water. And I'm wiggling my brush now. I don't think I will do
this, I might forget. But that's another
thing you can do. What we're doing there is
allowing those to dry. This is almost dry, so what are we going to
do is add the 50/50. I've run out a bit over here. I'm just going to pull some petals that tend to go
in between the other ones. Can you see how lovely
and how pretty that these little layers
can come through from behind the opaque layer? So, let's have another practice,
lots of water. As to the way that
you hold your bush, you can actually do
these upside down. In some ways, it's a lot easier if you imagine the
daisy head here. And then we're going
to bring the petals up and then we can turn
it round to do the head. You can also try very
slow movements putting point, flaring it out. bringing it up again, if that's
more comfortable for you. Then you go with
the slow movements. There's also an
expressive gestural way, which I did in my
practice runs with this, which gets you a
lovely daisy petal. If you want broader ones. I was using the side
of this Filbert, then we can use the full. But I quite like fast movements because they look
just a little bit more alive and have a bit
more movement in them. This is tried here.
I can go back in and do some more opaque
petals over the top. They're beautiful in
themselves, aren't they? Sometimes I just
look at things and think I shouldn't do anymore. But let's move on and I'm going to show you
how to use a stippler brush. Now, I always believe that
when you're doing heads for flowers, what looks nice, is
more than one colour. So, You're adding a bit of yellow, in this case, a
little bit of green. And then I'm going to be using a little bit of brusho, if
you happen to have it. This is so fun! When I discovered
this, I was thinking, I can't wait to share this
with you because it's such an interesting
technique and it's so easy! We're going to go in with the yellow first that's
quite watery. The thing with the stippler for this technique, is we
don't want it too watery. Again, try it. How? Let me show you
how that would look. You can see there that we've
lost a lot of the yellow and it's not looking
very Characterful lSo, et's get out yellow and dab a little bit off. Let's go into a
bit of this Green. We want quite a lot
of pigment on this. You can always have
a practice run before applying it to the page. Let's have a look that's quite wet as well, but
we're getting there. Then I'm going to just try
perpendicular now, I'm just going to dab it into the paint and dab off the excess, you'll have to dab off
more than you think. Don't throw this paper
out if you're using erm.. this is recycled kitchen paper.... looks absolutely gorgeous
when you're finished! Don't throw this
out because we can collage with that
in another class. Let's have a look. Now what brusho gives you is this character textual,
gorgeous, stippling effect. And you can't really get that with just a tiny brush and
all some people could. I don't think I could. It would take so long! but we can get this
effect really quickly. It looks so nice
as a daisy head. Let's add a bit more on. We're trying to keep
it nice and dry. It is hard to show
because my phone won't focus very well because we have to really
use it downwards like this. But let's have a little practice, less is more .. little dabs at the top there. It's quite nice actually, if you go in whilst the
paint is still wet, let's have another go at this. I'm going to
wash that off. Let's have another
practice with this stippler We've got greens, we've got yellow green gold. Why not try a
little bit of that? Just take a tiny bit of
that perylene green, brusho. You can always go
over these as well. If they're dry, it's
so lovely, isn't it? Such a nice technique. So you could start with the stippling and then bring
up the petals to meet that. Actually, if you
get in quite quickly, you can just allow that brush
to bleed into the petals. Here, I'm doing a
downward movement, That's another option for
you to sweep like that. You can see that it's bleeding into the white a little bit. Let me show you now,
without the stippler brush, if you don't have a stippler you don't have Briuho, no problemo because you can get
your small brush. You can even use a liner
brush or something. I'm going to pick up
some of that yellow, not much of that left, tiny bit of the green gold. And I'm going to do a C curve, I'm going to do a larger
one here so you can see just a C curve whilst
that's still wet. Let's get in and
do a darker green. Just take a little bit of that perylene... mixing it
with the green gold. I'm just going to go
round to the other side. We want that to blend
in quite nicely there. It's a very simple daisy head, Can drop some water in, we can draw up the
petals to that, like a full, a round, head there. But we can do semicircles, doing two strokes there. Just so we can see
how this works. Again, you can do this quickly so that you get
the bleed from the centre We can wait till the
centre is completely dry. I might just drop some
darker in there as well. Let's do a semicircle, one bit of yellow. Almost finish that green gold
like a dome shape there. And then we're going to add
some of the darker green. Whatever you've got, you can leave a tiny little bit of
white space if you want. Always looks nice. Now I
know if I'm going to go in here that's going to
bleed a lot into the petals. I probably would wait. But let's just draw some petals, up or down into
this little head. So there we have a
little half dome. This is a full circle. Then we will go in
with some neat white. I'll show you that. Very neat. Do some little highlights. I'm going to just
try and be free with this two little
tiny petals, turn it upside down. If that works, then going back, we can keep on
developing layers. We've got very watery white. We've got the 50/50 white. And this is the opaque white. You can see the difference
there and how we can start to build up the layers and
how pretty they become. The reason why I
like filbert, is you do get these lovely daisy shapes. You can always use the very
tip of the brush to drag tiny little petals down
over the watery white. There got a lot going on, but we can still go over
there with a neat white. It does help taking your
hands off the table, but it's a bit daring to do. It takes a bit of just getting familiar with the brush, that
you're using, to do that.
5. Practising Stems & Leaves: Let's go on to the stems. I'm using a tiny brush, 5/0 It is absolutely minute, but for some reason I
get on very well with it because I can use it
and hold it like a pen. I tend to use it on
the side like this. Let me show you that first, you can have your hand
resting on the page. For this, we're just
doing little curves. You can use the
shape of your hand. with this joint here
We might as well use it. So you can do curves just by holding your hand to the page and moving your wrist round. Or you can hold your
wrist off the page altogether and go
more straight on. Have a good old play around with the brushes that you have,
to do a bit of scribbling. Or we could then go over to
our round brush or Filbert, Get the white off that, I'm going to dip it
into the green gold. I think there's a little bit
of the darker green here. If you don't have
a darker green, just add black to any
green that you have. It's as simple as
that or Payne's Grey. Let me show you the leaves. Now, let's start
off really loose. We're just going
to pull this down. I'm using it on the side. Just getting to know your brush. These are gestural movements. Let me show you a slow movement. It's very similar to this. In fact, it is the same. It's just an elongated shape. Could start on the side, tip down slowly, bring down, start to put some pressure on, start to lift up, and off we go. Let's do another of those. It is actually really
good to do this. I often jump in to classes and I haven't got the patience to
go through the practice runs! But actually the practice
runs are really good, just to exercise your muscles and
develop muscle memory. But in the short term,
literally just to warm up, ready for your class,
just as you would if you were a singer and you need
to warm up your muscles. Let's start again with
the slow movement. Tip, start to flare out. Lift it up and down
to the ton there. Let's try some ribbon
y ones because I love these were
starting off and don't worry about if
it's blunt at the top or at the bottom
because I'm going to show you how to add details. I'm going to start with the tip. As soon as we've
put the brush down, we're going to just
pull it down like it's a ribbon or
read in a river. That's the way I
like to see them. It does take practice. I have to admit that
it took me a while to pull the leaf out, but at the same time
trying to think that I need to keep moving! But it is worth, it, really is. This is a beautiful movement. What I'm doing there is
that ribbon movement. Don't get too worried
about the shapes. You can just go in
really loosely or you can do slow ones, whatever feels good for you. Because we have a second
step that is using green. Here is the Perylene I don't want it very neat, but I want it fairly neat. Then we can start
to look at these. I'm going to have to put my hand down over these little petals. But let me start to
add little details. I like to put little tips on these
leaves so that it looks like I just love this
because it's so restful. And yet it adds so
much to your work. Because I used to study people's art and I would
look at it. Why is that? So, then realisd that it has a lot to do
with the little details. They look like
throwaway details, yet it really helps to bring the whole piece
together. I just love it. It's a little bit like doing details with your pigma micron. And in fact, you can use
the pigma micron for this. Just adding little details, running it down the length of the petals... doesn't
have to be every one. And you can do a few
lines on one petal. One of you can also lift your hand off
the page if you like. I tend to support my wrist, because my
muscles aren't very strong. Can I found a way
to get around that? But it's lovely. It's just
little details like this. You can even do little
scribbles... little movements at curlicues, or
whatever they're called. That's pretty much it. What we can then do is, if you like and you
want to go back in, you can start to build up, dip a little bit more. Sometimes going in with just the brush or just
your dark watercolor, getting the excess of, just adding a few extra details here, bringing it down into
the white petals. This is the one that
we did without stipple but you could always
do this as well. Start off your flower head and then just add
some stippling. Let's just let go, and do a bit of
stippling everywhere! Just really start to loosen up.
6. Little Marguerites; Bonus Class: I'm just doing very neat
little sweeping movements and then I'm going to add
a little bit per center. Try not to think
about it too much. And just a little
semicircle of mid green, green, gold, little
touch. And that's it. This is so easy and it looks more effective the less
you play around with them, which I am very often doing. Let's try that again. I've got a bit of green
on my paint there, but try different angles. You could just two petals
like this of three. Just really lightly. I'm not really pushing
down on the brush. I'm on the tip of
the brush pushing down just very gently,
that daisy shape. It's just an alternative. And you can add it to your
main project if you want it. I'm going to add a bit
of that yellowy green. Finish these off.
If you have brush, you can drop in a bit of brush. That's very effective. Brush just makes it come alive. I love moss green brush. If you were to buy
one tub of brush, it would be this color
because it's so versatile. And I do use it for
centers of flowers, so often gorgeous. That's another alternative. Little marguerite type shapes, I just add some, they're all pointed downwards
at the moment. You can always turn
your page around it. But I'm just going to
have them like this, like they're dropping
down a little bit, just pulling through
little lines. It's a very simple
way of creating asters really love
it. It's so nice. A few little with green gold using the side and using those very
swift movements. We're not doing the
ribbon ones with this. This is just an alternative if you wanted to keep it a
little more contained. Tip down, push down, flare it out, and lift it up. And you could always add
a darker green to this as well for a gesture
we're looking for that, just a very straight line, don't worry about the wiggles, and we're just going down
on the brush a tiny bit. So, there we go. That's
an alternative for you. You can do a separate
piece altogether, or you can mix them in
with your larger daisies.
7. Daisy Daze; Our Class Project: I put just a little
bit of the brush out and I'm going
to just add some of the green gold and I've got peralin green here. But just a reminder
that you don't need the same
colors that I have. Just choose any light green
or dark green that you like. I'm using a mid yellow here now. I'm going to start
with the dot H Martins. As you can see here, I've used most of
my pot of white, but there's some on the
way I am scooping some of the Dr. ph Martin's
white and putting it into a separate part of the palette just to keep that white crisp. So let's add some water
now so that we can start to mix those
three values of white. So we're going to add some water here just to make a
lovely, watery white. Add a little bit
more white to that, and none will make
a 50, 50 mixture. So we'll start by laying
down the watery white. You could vary your brush
strokes as we practiced using the broad side of the brush or the
side of the brush, just go with the flow here. Try not to get too hung
up on composition. Just give each flower
a little bit of space. Practice moving your paper around so that it's
comfortable for you. I'm continuing here with the broad side of the brush and also the side of the brush. This is the fun part. This is the, I'm going to just start by
getting lots of water on it, but then taking most of that water off err on the
side of it being quite dry. I'm going to pick some of the green gold and
touch the yellow. Then if you have it, we're just going to dave it into
the brush powder. Then you can try it
out on a piece of card or paper before you apply
it to the page you want. Just so that you have
the right consistency, this is a lot easier
than it looks. It's just literally
stifling perpendicular to the page and we're just moving it around in
a little dome shape. Let's put that aside for now. We're going back to
our small Filbert or small round brush. We're going to start
building up layers Now let's go for a 50, 50 mix. Picking up some
of the neat white there and adding some
of the watery white. I'm putting in some very simple, almost like pressing the brush down as if you're
printing with it. Just a tiny swift of it. It's amazing how
much this transforms the little daisies having
that background wash. So this is already giving them some dimension and bringing
them toward you off the page. Let's turn it round again. Fine, doing petals
easier upside down. This is the stroke of the
fiber and the little marks. I'm just going up on the side of the brush and pressing
down very gently. And I'm mixing slow movements
with very quick movements. I'm going to do a little, Marguerite, now that
we practice together, definitely do not overthink
this because they are so simple to do and sometimes
they're the hardest to paint. Knowing when to stop, when
three strokes is enough for four or five tiny
little strokes, Just using the tip
of the brush and a gentle push down a. So I'm picking up my
detail brush here, so I'm just gonna mix a
little bit of that green gold we're using the
detail brush now, just to draw out these very
s***der, expressive stems. Try not to get hung up on feeling like the stem
has to all be seen. There can be a little gaps
in it or there can be a little curly cues
or double lines. Just go with the flow here. Just adding a few little details using the tip flare
back to a tip method. With the brush, you can see with that stem that
I did it in a few strokes. I didn't feel like I had
to do it all at once. Just a few little details
on this little marguerite. Just have I think ahead where at the bottom of the stem is
going to be pulled through to. It doesn't get too crowded. Also, don't feel you have
to finish every stem. Just a suggestion of a stem
at the top of the flower. Sometimes is enough. I'm blotting off the water. I'm dipping this
into our yellow. Now this is a K, pure yellow. For any yellow that you prefer, mixing it with a little
bit of that green gold. And we're going to
do our sea shapes, a little a curve of the way
that you would normally we. Then we're going to
do a little drop. Darker green around that. Now I'm dropping
in a little bit of the yellow on the other side. We now have a circle
of the three colors. We've got the sea
of green, gold, little drops of
the dark green on one side and the pure
yellow on the other. Here, I'm just
demonstrating that you can use whichever brush you've
been using for the petals. So don't worry if you
don't have a tiny, if you just use the very
tip of your B or round, we're doing a thicker to
see there in the yellow. I'm now going to
just drop in some of the green gold on
the other side. Tiny touch of that
darker green again. We've got those three
colors working together, beautifully, mixing a little yellow
green gold again. And this tiny little
marguerite at the top. And we're just completing the
circle with our dark green. I'm going to show you one here, starting with the
center of the flower, nice half dome shape there, completing that with
the dark green. I do love green gold mixed with a little bit of
yellow for daisy heads. It's the perfect color. If you have something
close to that. I'm just going to add the stem. You normally do
the petals first, but I'm adding the stem first. And then I'm going
to go in and just do some lovely metal petals
into the 50, 50 mixture. I'm using the broad
part of the brush and upward motion and the tip there. Now we're going to
use our neat paint. Again, this doesn't have
to be Dr. ph Martin's. It could be water color or gas. At this stage, we want
water on the brush, but if it feels sticky, just put a tiny little
bit of water in with it. Here we're using our tiny
little quick movements just to create
beautiful highlights. This method, be lovely actually, for any flowers that
you do in the future if you wanted to create a
little bit of dimension, just these three different
values of paints. Painting on the side again and mixing in those slow movements with
the tiny quick ones. Try not to overdo it. At this stage, it is, and just one stroke
sometimes is too much, so just keep pausing, looking at your flowers, seeing if you want to add any little highlights or
if you feel there's enough picking up our
detail brush again. And I'm just going in here to finish off some of the stems. If you get a little dry
brushing like that, I think that's gorgeous to
have a little bit of texture, so don't worry if that
happens when you're doing his stems there. I'm demonstrating that
you don't need to take the stem right down to
the bottom of the page. So let's go on to do
a few of our leaves. I'm going to keep
these really simple. And I'm mixing a little
bit of the perreline green in with the green gold, Adding a bit of water. There, we want this, a 50, 50 mix. Adding a touch of
the yellow there. So I've got a slightly
different mix of green. If I should need it,
take the excess off. We're going in with
our ribbon leaves. But here I'm showing you
that you can still use those same strokes that you used with the Marguerite
on the leaves. Very swift movement down just
with the tip of the brush. And moving as you're
actually pulling it through, which is a bit of a chal***ge. We're going to change direction. I do like the fact that
leaves cross over each other. Sometimes I think that
looks gorgeous there. I'm starting with the tip and just slight pressure down on the brush and then pull it
right through to the bottom. Lifting the pressure
as you reach the stem. I'm doing these
movements very quickly, but you could take your time and do movement that we practiced. The thing with
gray tinted paper, is that sometimes
the color sinks in a little bit and
you find that you might want to brighten your green or add a little
bit more pigment. Let's go back to our
step now and add a few more details just
to the daisy heads. I really want to get this right. So I'm starting over again. I've washed the brush, I've blotted off most water, and we want to keep
it really dry. It's quite an art.
It might just take a little bit of practice
to get what you want. Remember, you can always just
try it out on a piece of paper before you put it to the paper that
you're working on. Let's do that now. A
little heavy on a brush and I'm just adding a little
bit of yellow there now. We're just pressing dabbing in another layer on these heads. You can see how it's dried. The first he has gone
back into the page, we're just lifting
it a little bit now. A few finishing touches, if you would like, on
the little marguerite. And there we have
it, our daisy days.
8. Daisy Daze; Our Class Project, Finishing Touches: Be. I love music to the pain inhale. Exhale. It's another day. Brains is trending to music to pay in hell. That's a close look to music to the pain,
inhale, exhale. It's another day, bistro, audience. A close. The ones trying oh lo Music to pay in. That's, it's another thing. My items are closed
before this turn A.
9. Thank You! See You Again Soon!: We've touched on quite
a few things actually. In this class, we've
looked firstly at value of paint and transparency. How to build simple layers
to transform our daisies. We've had a play around
with stippling to create beautifully complex daisy
heads in a matter of moments, which if you are doing with a detailed brush would take
quite a long time to achieve. We've freedo par leaf painting. They are lifting our
hands off the table to explore both swift
and slow brush strokes. My favorite part, I think, was the small gesture on
Marguerite. I love them. They're so sweet. And so to do, we've done a little
bit of a flourish on our leaves that
towards the end. But finally, I hope
that I've been able to create a space which is
not pressured at all, that it's been relaxing. And you've learned
some techniques along the way that you feel you
could use in the future. Thanks so much for joining me in this class and I shall see
you again soon. Take care.
