Everyone Can Paint! 5 Watercolor Painting Ideas (that will go on your wall!)

1. Intro: A finished artwork can be intimidating, but when you break it down, it all happens. One brush stroke at a time. With this class, I want to give you a chance to try your hand at making your own colorful, beautiful, captivating, abstract watercolor paintings, which I'm pretty sure we'll go on your wall. Hi, my name is fatty, but everybody calls me up. I'm a watercolor artist, sketcher, an alert in the Skillshare teacher. This is my class number four, can you believe it? I've been drawing and painting for more than ten years and I've created for brands and individuals alike. But before that, I was a copywriter. I worked in many agencies and created campaigns for countless brands or even won a few awards. But one day I said that's enough to solve sucking hours and meaningless work. I moved to Poland with my wife and became a freelance artist to draw and paint. Have you ever heard the saying painting is like cycling? Probably not. I just made it up. But it's true if you find your balance here once, I'm sure you will keep going forever. So for that, I want to show you five different ideas step-by-step. You will easily follow me and make your own art for your home, your office, or maybe for a loved one. But will be due exactly. We will paint stripes. Race. Simple but elegant pattern. Our own designs with masking tapes and some maps. While painting these projects, we will get a good feeling of how watercolor behaves, how it blends, how quickly it dries, which colors go well together, how much water we should add, and how we can layer different colors. These skills will be very much transferable to your future projects if you want to take my other classes or any other class on drawing and painting. But this will not be it. After painting these projects, we will have a look at what else we can add to these paintings to make them even more special. Two lessons, what I call the next level. It will splash all our art paintings, draw and maybe even at typography. In making this class, I tried many ideas. Some of them work, some of them didn't. I specifically focused on those which were simple yet delivered the great result. But I will show you failed attempts as well so you can avoid making similar mistakes. The ideas and techniques I will show it in this class can be used on their own, but they can be combined together as well. So it's what you learn from this class. You can make hundreds of different designs. This class is designed for beginners, but if you are a bit bored and looking for something to do coming, I'm sure you will get at least one idea for a new painting. Painting with watercolors can be very relaxing and soothing. So take this class. Enjoy, relax and feel accomplished while you are looking at your finished piece on your wall. I'm pretty sure you won't leave it at one. See you inside. Object will be assisting me with this class like my other three classes, some of you already know Jack and he has some great fans out there. Even though he is imaginary. Object, press Stat. 2. Class Project: I like simple class projects. So what I want from you is also simple. In every lesson, I will show you a design. You follow me, make your own and share it with us. That's it. If you make more than one, I'm pretty sure that you will share them too. But we'll paint stripes. Simple yet elegant designs are everywhere. Grace. Also simple but impactful. Feel the depth, the pattern. There are so many ways to paint this pattern. But when you do masking tape art, geometric and interesting. What else can we do with these types of maps? Maps are inspiring variable you take us. And after all that, the next level splashes. Splash around. Remember your childhood. Second layer. If you don't like the first layer, give the second one. Typography. How about a motivational poster? Anyone? We have a lot to do, my friend, this is your class project. You get this one to it with me and share. That's it. Easy. Ps please shut everything you make with me. This is the best part of my job. 3. Supplies: We're going to need a couple of things for this class. Watercolor paper. You can use whatever you have at home. Remember, re-use, re-purpose, recycle. Many of the experiments I made for this class. We're on the back of a already used watercolor paper. But if you are going to buy, I'm using 180 gram Canson watercolor paper. You can use a sketchbook to the native gram paper is on the thin side. If we apply too much water, it will bend and that could cause water to pool and collect the paint. If you don't want this to happen, use a heavier paper like 300 g. Oh, and S4, the size A5. This size is much more manageable since we will be mixing colors on paper and sometimes we have to be quick and apply the next color before the first one dries off. But if you want to use bigger or smaller papers, all the ideas will be scalable. Watercolors. How do I put this? You can use whatever watercolors you have at home. But here quality makes a difference. I'm using a brand called critic, could attack a cool red. I'm using a brand called Coretta K, and they are very vivid. I love them. Before they said I was using St. Petersburg White Nights and they were also very good. At the beginning of my journey, I was using this small Winsor and Newton said that I got from my wife and they were doing a good job to get what you can get. Pencil. Any pencil doesn't matter. We will only use it to make some guiding lines for some of our paintings. Roller, roller will do, we will need it for some guiding lines. Plotted two cups filled with clean water later. One there'll be dirty water and the other clean water. They will use dirty water to wash off the paint from our brush and clean water to pick up a new colors so they won't get duck tape. Masking tape. You can use painter's masking tape, which you can get from any bill to shop. These are good for taping down the edges of the paper to your desk. I also use this very thin masking tape or masking designs on the paper. We will see that later. You can use a washi tape to okay. They are not using the second camera. Hi, second camera. Second camera. You represent the audience. When I'm talking to audience, I'm talking to you, which I'm talking to the audience, which I'm talking to you, e.g. something like Yes, Everyone can paint. You can paint to get it. But ashes. This point and number ten is my all-time favorite. It takes a good amount of water and paint, and this is important for what we're going to do. Another one I'll be using is this flat at number 12. It's useful for covering large areas and that's it. You go gather everything we need and I will wait here with Jack. You don't need to pass. People. Wait. Take your time. You need to go to the shop. Cocoa. We are waiting. I'm kidding. Just pause the video. 4. Stripes Part 1: Our first project, stripes, ready for our first project. And I should mention, Jack is helping me like he did in my last three classes, is here for this class too. But I don't know if he's gonna be here for the next is usually getting on my nerves. We will start with the simple one. Stripes. Stripes are simple, but it's used everywhere for clothing, for interior design like wolves, pillows, curtains, or small products like notebooks or handbags. In fact, I think you can pretty much find anything in stripes on Google by typing stripe. Yet the beginning, simple does not mean bad or worse quality, simplicity requires elegans. It's easy to use and there are so many ways to apply it. That's why we see Deborah. Let's paint some stripes because the pattern is so simple, the composition of colors we choose will play a big role on our final artwork. For this reason, I would like to go with another concept that you will never fail with rainbow. You can't go wrong with rainbow. It's already a complete set of colors, well balanced, and they are already in order. So even if the colors mix, they won't end up Monday. In fact, we want them to mix up. That's where the fun begins. So a rainbow is basically red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Main colors are red, yellow, and blue. And between them, the color we get by mixing them, red plus yellow, orange, yellow, blue, green, blue plus red, purple. My watercolor set already came in disorder. And in fact, the page I created the first night I got them to see the colors, gave me inspiration to create this class. It was so simple yet so beautiful and it is still on my wolf. See that. Of course, what helped with this design was the amount of shades of those colors. There are like five different rates, three different yellows, ten different greens and blues in this set. You can use what you have at home. It doesn't have to be this many colors. But if you have more colors, but they are not in order or mixed up, try them on a paper and put them in order from darker to lighter. Start from dark red, and of course towards yellow, it will be lighter and lighter, right? Put the orange colors between red and yellow. Yellow should start slides and go darker towards green. Then the darker blues, and finally purple. I will go with the thickness of my brush, for the thickness of the stripes. This way they will be all a similar size. But this is not a rule. They don't even have to be the same thickness. You can make one thicker, one thinners. It's up to you. But for this project, I will keep them unified so we can focus on the colors changing and blending, Jack and boiling. We didn't think this is true for every class. But about summer, Come on, man. I taped down my paper for two reasons. Reason number one, so it will not move while I paint and stay straight when the water tries to bend it. And the reason number two, that when we finish, the edges will be nice. And even also pulling the tape once you finish, It's very satisfying. We're starting by taping down your paper. I'm trying to make parallel, parallel to the edge of the paper so it will be nice, uneven. But I don't worry about drawing with a ruler and trying to make it so prevalent. I just see the paper through my tape. And if it looks even that's good enough. You're not going to come and measure to you. Yeah. I tried to see the paper through tape and it looks parallel to the edge. And I just this is a regular painter's masking tape from the shop. It's not nothing special. It does the job for me. But sometimes I have extent that it fills my paper off, but if you do it carefully, you should be okay. But you should be careful when there are two types on top of each other. There's a tiny, tiny gap under here. So with your nail you try to make sure that there is no gap dash. So at the end, your paint won't seep through and destroy your perfect even lines. Right here. Because when the papers to tape sticks to the paper all the way along, it's usually all safe. Nothing goes on today. But this tiny gap because of the thickness of the tape here, try to be careful with those. Now we are all taped down. I have my dirty water here and clean water here. This is to wash first. Get rid, get rid of all the paint, and then here, pick up fresh paint. Here, all the colors, how they look on the papers. Exact copy of the paints on the paper here. So I can have a look on this side. Since we are going with the rainbow, I'm going to follow as it is. And we will see, I will try to make these with the thickness of this brush like this. And I have my off-course always heavy to some tissue paper, kitchen towel to drop off some extra paint or extra waters to dry your brush. It's always useful. So let's start with red. As you can see, if you do in one goal that towards the end of your line that is less and less paint. So to avoid that, try to do it in small chunks like this. So look, you are pushing the pigments like this all the way. And also you can drop off more pigments from your brush by Deb ink and then they will blend with water. And to look even I'm not trying to make the lines to prevent look, it's not perfect, but it's going to come in handy later because we want those lines to touch. So we need to be quick. As I was telling you, we want to make the next line while the first one is still wet. And I'm trying to leave this tiny, tiny white gap between them so that they will stay somewhat by themselves, but where they touch every now and then, as they are read, they will blend and it will look beautiful. I hope. This is what I like when pigments from the previous line just starts coming in to the new line. I thought it looked a bit light, so I picked up more paint and edit. A few taps. Next. I love making stripes. This is like a therapy farm. It's so relaxing because it's easy, simple. You don't have to think a lot, plan, a lot of planning with colors. So like I was saying, it makes it easier for you, but after that can just enjoy the process. So more pigments here. You see even from the first line, the pigments are coming through and that's what I like. Now we are going more orange. Wash the paint off. None, pick up some clean water and next one in line, they're coming beautifully. It's trapped some more paint. Quickly, move on to the next. Some good painters would be able to tell you now, now I'm using cadmium, yellow, citrus, something. I'm sorry, I really don't know the name of my colors. I just see yellow that I use yellow. I see orange, I use orange. I don't know if it's a row straight or cherry red. I don't know. But it says under them if you want, we can have a look. This is our, our our, our eolian, lemon yellow. You see, and greenish yellow. Olive green. So they have their names would either not okay. We have to be quick. The very first line start trying, but it's already carried some pigments and it looks beautiful. Virus I yellow and now Ireland. I think it was the hourly. I think citrus yellow is actually useful. Are they save names here? Lemon yellow, greenish yellow, olive green, lime green. Okay, I can check from here and tell you what there that's useful. I was on lemon yellow bus today. I hope so. I will tell you about these later, but as you can see at the moment, it's from red to yellow. So very warm looking painting. You can also decide to this kind of palette and make the lines thicker and just have a nice sunset looking painting like this. And from this point forward, it will start getting more in green. And it will go towards cold colors. Look how this paint is traveling cute, I love that. That's what I guess what I'm trying to create. And because when you have these kind of details in your paintings that there's so much to look at. Now, olive green, I think. I'm trying to leave the tiniest white gap between them. But making sure that they touch. Wash off, pick up clean water. And next one is lime green. Next sap green light to eight, this is going, I feel like I will run out of space and I won't be able to put all the colors. So either I can just let it go, see very Toko, if it will reach purple or not. I, or I can skip some colors. E.g. let's use this. Not, let's keep this sap green and hookers. Hookers green. Okay. Lucas green. Green is also traveling beautifully and some of them even bend upwards because not all the paints are the same that I amount of fat as far as I know, the amount of pigment they have makes a difference in their consistency. So some Payne's go into the others than other way around. So not every pain score in the same direction. What I'm trying to say. So now there is this dark sap green. I think I'm going to skip dark sap green, I'm going to use for a screen and then turquoise then go into Blue. Marsh. I talked too much. Look this line drying. Can you see it didn't mix like I want, but it's loci. So when you are painting, don't do it like me. Don't talk too much. Apply your next time before the first time this time. I'll talk, Chris. Electoral. Chris, I pick some more to be more visible. And in this one, I think I didn't put enough water so it doesn't blend into this one. Too much. I was going to also record with this camera. Can I do that? What's next? Is this? I think I'm running out of space, so I will skip the turquoise blue pigments here. It's like thanks to a PowerPoint screen. These hear, touch, come, come, come, come. Okay. Next is I have 123 more lines. So from here writing, I will go to indigo and violet. Or instead of indigo. Prussian intercourse sometimes looks too dark, almost like gray. Yet it's nice and slow. Let's adjust the second camera. It's not easy, guys. Told these cameras and I have microphone on man. I'm trying to focus on the painting as well. I'm trying. Okay. Now, the wireless you see how the which one was it? Prussian blue bleeds into carpal. It's about the content of the pattern paint and how much heavier the pigments are. I think I will cover this with a ticker, purple. This one is cobalt. Why Let's do the first one was imperial violet and this one is cobalt violet. I'll pick some more water and because look, it's escape from here. Touch response Here. Okay. I think that's it. So this part is already fully dried. But because we managed to make all the lines all the lines wet when they are when we are painting them, they all traveled along the painting and wants this is right, It's kinda look beautiful. There's something here. Makes the paper paint escape. I think it's about the tape. I don't know why. But still I like the effect and where it pulls. It will also make some patterns that it's already starting to form here you can see that's also very pretty. I think for next one, next time I'm going to do this. I will skip these colors, which is, I think olive green because the, yes, it's getting more and more green. But as the tongue, this one is much darker and the greenish yellow, lime green. So it would look more harmonious, but still. Yeah, That's it and have a look once the strike, I think. Now our painting is finely dried. It took a long time. Now I'm going to peel the paper. Look, this is the best part. I'm going to take my microphone next to the tape and I'm gonna pee leaflets. This is the best part. I love the sound. Okay. But in my microphone back on me, that sound was varies. That's fine. And seeing this clean lines after the painting is very satisfying. 5. Stripes Part 2: And seeing these clean lines after the painting is very satisfying. Let's talk about the painting. So I've been waiting for a long time for it to paint, for it to dry. So what I was trying to tell you from the beginning, that wet-on-wet when two lines touch at the pigments travel. And this looks really good. And you can see it here, here. Even all the jet traveled through the yellow here to the green. And because we made the rainbow, none of the colors mixing created anything, Maddie here, they just look beautiful. They are just so many different tones. And for your eyes, there's so much stuff to look at. And in green also, it traveled beautifully here and then over there and then this one traveled up, they're really good. Same with the purple to purple going into each other's. Something happened here. I didn't know what was going on here. Maybe I had creaming my hand and I touch the paper before or something like that. But it's repelled the painting and it still looks beautiful. As you can see, that this is actually all the colors mixing together and this makes this beautiful painting. But you can also see every stripe individually when you look at it. So that's why we tried to keep this tiniest white gaps between them. So it is very much controlled as a painting. But in the meantime, it has this watercolor feeling the pain score into each other. And that's what we tried to achieve. At least that's what I tried to achieve. And sometimes there will be mistakes. I feel like this, two colors should have swapped, but I'm making the mistake so you don't have to for you. The other thing to consider when you add more water to keep it, keep your lines wet before the second line. It might create some patterns. This is not a bad thing. I'm talking about these patterns because the consistency of density of the water with the paint and without paint are different. When you draw paint onto, when you drop water onto our 3D paint, while it's wet, this area becomes less dense and the water pushes the pigment outwards and creates these patterns. I think they are quite beautiful. Let me show you a close-up camera as well. As you can see that dropping just clear water, like picking up some clean water with your brush and drop it onto the wet paint will create these kind of patterns. I don't think there's anything wrong with them. I really love how they look. And like I said, it gives more your eyes to look at. You can just use this to your advantage. And if you don't want them, you can also avoid them so you know why they happen. Okay. Yeah, so I think that's it. Let's go back to our rainbow. And this painting is ready to go on your wall. Now, we can have a look at these two next to each other. That What's the difference here is that we change the color and it has a totally different feeling. The width of the stripes are different. Because of that. Again, it has a different feeling. This one was this, this one is this. In here. I used more water. I, for every line after painting, I dropped clear drop of water, one or two. And you can see it created more of this pattern. And as a result, the lines are blurred more. And I think I actually liked that more that you can choose which one you will go for. But this way you can compare the results. I like this one too. How all the lines are more still pulled together but in, but in here this is watercolor is about, it needs to flow into each other end. Even though this was a very structured exercise, we managed to create a very flowing watercolor look. I can't wait to see what you guys will come up with. First of all, you can change the angle. You do a 45-degree angle and this will look totally different. You can make vertical lines too, or just flip it on its side. Change the color pallet, and you have a different piece. Start with red and finished with yellow. And you will have a Walmart FERC, warm artwork. Warm artwork. This is difficult to say. I should read out loud my classes before I start recording. A warm artwork, a warm artwork and more of a warm hello. A warm artwork. Start with green and finished with purple. And you will have a cold artwork called old artwork called art work. Whatever your room needs. Since this will go on the wall. In the resource section, either document with color swatches, just pick whichever set you like and paint your stripes with those colors that are already so many combinations you can create. With other lessons, you will be able to combine the techniques and creative and more unique artworks, e.g. later we will create a painting with masking tape. And you can combine the stripes with masking tape and come up with something totally yours. This applies to all the techniques I'm going to show you in this class. So if there are five techniques, I will show you a few different ways you can go about with that technique. And when you combine those with the other techniques, I don't even know how many different ways you can come up with. If there are mathematicians among us, maybe they can help us. I looked at the permutations quickly and it says hundred and 20, but I think there might be more. So you can paint stripes like this. But you can change the angles, you can change the thicknesses, you can change the colors that are already complex combinations here come when nations, not combinations, combinations. There already the countless combinations here. I can't wait to see what you guys will come up with. That's it for this lesson. In the next lesson. In the next lesson, I don't know which side is the next lesson. In the next lesson, we will do raise like ray of sunshine. See you on the next one. Jake, you are my Sasha. 6. Rays Part 1: Welcome back. Our second project is race. Our second project is race. Memorize my lines. No. But I wrote them. So whatever I say is true. It's like stripes, but they start from a center and go out. And this gives them an impactful look. They give the feeling of perspective and depth page. And when you combine this with colors, they can be powerful. Powerful. Because when you see something like this, It's actually similar to a drawing of a street where you showed the perspective and the center is the vanishing point that we talked about it in the previous class. Yes, no, yes, no to class before. I have so many colors. Same external. Class number two. In the class number two, I was talking about the perspective. And in there you can find what the vanishing point is. But in this class we are focusing on the colors only. No drawing, just colors, just having fun with colors, less pointing to the people with your brush. We will just paint some colors and it will be beautiful. It's beautiful. I would recommend drawing the lines for your race. Let's start. We eat normal race. Let's find the middle 110 coin. This is if you want your center to be exactly in the middle, I found the middle of the edges and now I'm connecting them. Okay, So this is our center. So I'm going to make a tint finish phase. You can see I didn't mark the edges. I'm just going to have a look. If this one is similar to this one, I'll just keep going. And when I do this side, this side automatically happens. So I put my ruler in the middle. Just wasn't very much in the middle. But anyway, keep throwing one after another until I complete the page. Like this. This is really not that important. No one says that test to be perfect. And it's worked out. So let's say this one is next. And moving on from there, you'll see when you have enough lines, you don't even realize this mistake I made homeless and things centered, okay. Something like that. I think tomorrow for me. And query go race. That's done. Again. You can do them anyway. You like. They don't have to be the same width. The center doesn't have to be the center of the page. You can just go with your brush without drawing any lines. But I think we need a bit of a structure here. 2345, 6789, 1011, 1213, 20. Third, third, one third to 123-45-6780. Perfect. I have exactly 32 colors here, but not to make the same mistake as in here, I'm going to swap olive green with lime green. So then this will hear, maybe then I will put them back in their place. Screen light here. So this olive green for B. Yeah. So what we're gonna do is we're going to make this kind of turn on each other and make a circle with, okay, It's gonna be beautiful. Come on, let's do it. So once you are satisfied with your race, I wouldn't worry too much about it. We can tape the edges. We are ready to paint. Once again, rainbow is a safe bet here. You can't go wrong with the rainbow. Okay, so this is strategy. Let's bring authors here. Let's make them look beautiful. Beautiful it does. I'm going to use these pointy. And because I have a very narrow space to paint here, what we're gonna do, you need to decide this totally up to you, where you want to start read from, like this is going to be red here and then it will come back purple here. Or is it cannot be read start from here and finish there? Or will the real gold, red, yellow, green, blue, purple this way or this way? These are all decisions you can make and that could make make an impact on your painting, on your final result. Okay, so I think I want to go clockwise. And what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna paint one, skip one, tend to paint next one. Okay. I picked lots of pigment. And let's go. I'm trying to spread the color you can see. But I will show you different ways to paint these race as well, how we can give more pigment on one side, you see how the clean water pushes away the sequence. And we're going to use these to make nice patterns and textures on our paint. So I'm skipping this one. See that? Yeah. And going on to the next, then I have to remember that I will start from here and doing the same for the second part of the painting. I skipped one painting, the Autobahn so that they won't mix into each other too much. They are very thin and I want to I want the race to be visible by themselves. Look, edges are not perfect, Please, straight. Don't worry about the details. When we bring the next colors. It will cover that and it will look very nice. Let's drop some clean water and move on to the next, skipping warm colors are now going towards orange. I start from the middle because I want to paint evenly. And because in here it's so thin that when I have so much paint on my brush, it might go over two lines too much more than I want. So that's why I start from the middle. Okay, skipping one. Now, we are in March. Nice. Next one, we are skipping this yellow, cadmium yellow and quite go to our role in our, ALL IN. When you think about it, you could make a design like this as well with the white gaps. Then if I was doing something like that, probably I would try to make the edges more even. You can also do that with masking tapes. Social good design. Here I'm not worried too much about lines that I didn't erase them to make them less visible or something because when we put two next color in between them, it will hide them. Because of the contrast between the colors you want to seek lives. If you look close, the day will be visible, but definitely doesn't disturb me. If it starts you you can be forced start the painting. You can erase them. Tap, tap, tap. Stop some orange and some water here. And we did this one skipping this one. Now, we are doing which green? Greenish, yellow. Is it? I think so. If you remember, when we were painting dries, I was very much into the idea of mixing the colors. And in this one, I'm going in a different way and I'm trying not to mix them. Later on. They are dry. They will be will kind of layer the edges of them and it's a different feeling. These are all artistic decisions you will be able to make after this class. Years. Ipt of water here. Of course, because of all, all extra water, it will take longer to dry. But because you are going in a circle, I'm hoping by the time you reach here, this will be dry so we can just continue painting. This one, skipping this one. I think this is sap green light. It looks beautiful. Tap, tap, tap. Some more. Green to dark to all turn and pick up some freshwater and drop. Maybe let's draw one more here. They push against each other from clean water, pushing the pigment swam here and here, and it will look beautiful guys. Now skipping this one. Yes. I'm cleaning my brush and picking up some water. That was a bit much, but it'll be okay. What I like about watercolors, you can always go to the next color, that one view is over. There's just lots of water in there and skipping this color. And now sap green deep. So very beautiful green. As you can see, I, by mistake touched the screen with the screen. But today, okay. There is no rule against mixing the colors a bit. It's all up to us. I want this to be a bit darker. So that stepped up. Drop some water here to here. Next one is, I think turquoise green tea. This one. I think I made one mistake by going clock wise. Now under my hand, that is all this wet paint. I have to be careful not to put my hand down. I need to paint and how hover over and paint. This is a very potent color. Can see some tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap water here. Water here. Can you see how the pigments are being pushed it in this, you can see that this color has so much pigment. Now skipping this one to have some motor. And now we are green guy think malloc. Malloc, something like that. 7. Rays Part 2: Unlike something like that. So if you remember at the beginning I was lucky I didn't actually come through this. I just drew the race race and I count them, it will start to have exactly the same amount of colors from red to purple. And you can count which colors you're going to use and how many of them you haven't met your raise accordingly. If you have too many colors, you can just not use some of them. Or if you have less colors, you can draw less rain faces. Dropping some extra water. And now we are skipping this one. Ultra marine. Cleaning my brush with regard to alter my clean water at this stage is already starting to get darker, I guess for the next painting, I will have to punish them. More water. I can see now the first one is almost dry, but there's a bit of extra paint, not right here yet. This is another thing. When there is this excess water we drop on them that it takes longer to dry as it's drying slowly, there is more water. It keeps drawing towards this center of water and leaving some pigments on the way. And then it starts creating these beautiful textures. That's why we are doing this. Now. Skipping turquoise, blue and go to certainly and glue. Have no idea if I'm saying this names correctly. Certainly in Caribbean. Tap, tap, tap. I'm touching the banks. It's getting difficult. So for you now, I can recommend going counterclockwise. I didn't think about that. I have to hover above this spread, that paint can drop of voltage. Now we have this glue and now skipping this one and also memory. Again, the two colors starched, but my bothered now. So part of the process, mistakes will happen and those mistakes would be part of your painting to the best part of this plan is no one can stop. No, that's a TikTok. And the best part of this cleanliness. Luck to you? No, no. What I want to save us, the best part of this plan is no one will notice. Right. Now, we're skipping this one. Corrosion blue and indigo in the core is also really potent colors. I'll try not to too much of it so that it won't be taking the other blues here and looking to dark black, dark gray and black. Bec. What's next? I'm skipping. Blue gray deep. And imperial violet. That sounds fancy. Imperial violet. That's also really strong. Less maybe. So what I did, as I could see that it was very strong colors. I watched some of the paints and I will try to split this one even so. It looks almost like black now. But as I am now, by getting with more voltage and spreading over the paper, we can start seeing the beautiful purple that comes out. Okay. So that's dumb. Doesn't already look beautiful. This is Kadoorie decolonial. But we have marked this part is I can see not fully dry it. So what should we do? I guess we'll wait for it to dry and we'll continue. Once it's dry. I mean, we could just continue. I have one version. I did once it was completely dry, so I can show you that. And with this one, Let's just keep going and see what happens. It will mix up a bit, but we will get to see different results. Okay, let's do that. Now. We're going back to the beginning. We started with this threat. We are now skipping the first one and starting with the second. This is Carmen. Carmen. Now, not like race. I'm not leaving white lines. I want all the colors to touch and feel the page, okay. And this kind of overlaps. It's in the problem. Don't worry about that. In the total. Look. It won't bother you or bad for anyone. And in fact, it will just look more interesting. Let's drop some voltage here and I will leave it there. Can you see this next color or it starts going into this. I think this was a good decision. It will repeat for now, skipping this one and this one. And this one is this color is called read. How nice they just read. It's easy to remember. Which color did you use for this pin? Just like I'm trying to paint all these areas and then I'm going to touch them. So once they bleed into each other, I'm not going to fiddle with it. So it will happen by itself. Here I touched them. Okay, Now, after read this one, cadmium Scarlet, another fancy cadmium, cadmium, cadmium. I don't know how to say these things. Cadmium. I think this way off doing really works well because they don't bleed into each other so much, but a bit of extra things happen. And I touched them if they're still better than I think I did like this effect. Now wherever we, this is cadmium yellow. Like I said, I touching the dry places first and then touching various red and then leave it leave it to the paint. But there is going to happen. It's come at how it can drop water onto me. Much. One for you. Now, it's lemon yellow. Guys. This way I will learn the name of my colors line. It looks like here is very tight. The colors could plant fats. That's going to happen, is going to happen. Good, solid green is going this way. I love to mess it up even more. Let's drop a bit of water here. And then we'll see what happens. Now. February 19, it's this lime green. Now I switched their places, so I don't know. Hi, taking this lime green line has a different color but I guess in line maybe it's darker. This looks almost neon. These parts are already dry so I'm touching them nicely. That worrying. I can mark. Okay. Can you see how colorful this is? Now? I think now it's all over. These parts are already dry. I'm not worrying too much. Respect to tunics that I tried to not to put too much color too strongly because last time here on the rainbow it looked very dark or down the next one is already swapped places, and I think it looks better now. Water here and it's now who's next? Hookers green. Okay. This ray was a bit thinner than the other one and it was difficult for now. Which one? I think it's now forest green spot. Tap, tap, tap. Now I'm being careful because this part is hard, but I just wanted to touch them a little bit. Okay. Now what's next? Now is Trump Britain. I think so. This part is try and pay attention. Beautiful. Can you see this green travels from here to the turquoise. These will be nice details later on, the paint is dry. Clothes. Next. I think it's horizon. Like to split sweaty. Max, maximum it's very light. Tap, tap, tap. Live more pigments where it's needed. I'm drop of water here and snuff. And what's next? The next day's turquoise blue. Another beautiful color. Sorry, I'm a bit quiet, but I'm trying to focus on the painting. I'm sorry. It does green came here. I think we need some more colors here, so I picked some more from the palette and tap, tap, tap water here. And next would be cobalt blue. Come on guys. We're going to learn the name of these paints. Cobalt blue. 8. Rays Part 3: Tap, tap, tap. I'm trying to be careful because this next next to me is very wet. I'm trying to leave it with least amount of impact as I could do. Paints will do their own thing. Started traveling from here to the next one. Next three lines actually. Next one is which color? Prussian blue, crushing blow to see in blue, something like that. But first we should watch this one. Some water. Last three. Next one is indigo and is completed, right? And the purple as well. Sorry, Purple, Purple, imperial violet, I should say. Now joining the place where it's already, while it's still wet. By the way, the screen came up with this way overdue yellow. And I could have actually picked it up with my brush, with the dry brush, but I decided not to, I think get to look. Very interesting ones. Everything has dried. Now after indigo, blue, gray deep. This one. I think last two octets also came up too much. I washed my brush with clean water, I will dilute to save it onto paper. Okay. They're already tried on both sides. So also when you paint with watercolors, when you put them on wet, they appear more saturated than they gonna be once they are dried. So I'm going to still add some more pigments here. Then. Let's drop some water here. Our final color, my second camera is standing on it so I can see what it's some sort of purple. Here's your rainbow. Ready on the papers to go on your wall. Room, beautiful. All we need to do now is to wait until it's dry. And it looks a bit AL is biting. I'll put some. More pigments here. Maybe just one drop of paint here, and that's it. You see how it pushes the pigments. Now all we have to do is wait until it's dry. Now. It's all dried. First, I'm going to peel this off. It doesn't stick very well here. Let it bleed out. So be it. I loved the sound of paint peeling off. It's amazing. Radius. That's fine. Okay, So now this one is ready. Let's stop the second camera. And I will take this painting of my wall painting I already did. It was on my wall while I was recording my head. Chaucer, maybe you realize it. So this is the one and this is the new one. So let's compare this one. I did it. All the rice individually. Painted. One, skip, one painting another skipped, and so on, just like this one. But before I start painting the second race, I let completely this one dry. So none of the paints touched another wet paint. So there is no wet on wet here that they never believed it onto each other. They are only overlapping because of my brush moments over the lines and that's it. I really like this one. I also made drop some paint here. Let's show that second camera as well. I also drop water on this one and you can see the effect. I really like. And here as well, It's visible here. Looks very nice here. So you can see the effect of the water drops. You can also decide to, if you're going to use this or not. And in this one, I painted all the first, just like this one, skipped one re panes, one, skip the next one, and so on. But when I reached to the beginning, because I also droplets of water that also helped, it was still wet. So I decided to just keep on going. And in parts that the next paint touch the wet paint, they went into each other. You can see in here, very much in here and over here. And so it gave us this kind of effect. You can decide which one you're going to go for. You can decide if you cannot drop water on your pains or it's going to be more evened out. So this way, the rainbow sunshine, or whatever you wanna call this piece, is complete. Once again, that are 1 million ways we can approach this and come up with a different painting. You can change the design, put the centers on the site, make the race uneven. Do you use a different color palettes? In here I use two blues, all cold. And we have it. We have this cold piece. You can do drains symmetrically but again uneven, like one, thick to thin to thick. And I use the pastel color palette here. We have another piece. The difference between these two also, this is centered HIV. The more saturated around the edges. And I put to Mars pigments here and less pigments towards the center. Towards the center, this more white, It's like more brighter, like an explosion. It would be here is centered heavy. There is more pigments in the middle. So this is an example of how you can make a difference with a, you apply your paint as well. And this one, I push the paint with my brush from edge to the center. So there was less and less pigments towards the center. But here I used a different technique. I painted even me, and then I picked some of the paint with my dry brush. Dry and clean brush. So you end up with this kind of paint or you make your, the center of your race is the corner of your page. So all the rays are coming from the corner. It has totally different feeling. I picked a different color palette. It's a warm painting because of that yellows and reds and oranges. And also I painted everything in a row, one after another, so they mixed up more. I added more voltage along the way. So all these funny things happening, I really like all the extra textures and paint going through each other's. You can end up with this kind of painting. The possibilities are endless. So I would like to see what you guys will come up with. I loved them all. You see where I'm going with this? The sky is the limit. And there is no limit to the sky. That's what that means. When you say sky is the limit, detection says there are no limits. I splashed explain this but you know what I mean? I can't wait to see what you will come up with. So this is it for the race. This 3D sounds like the word race. And I keep saying race, but it has nothing to do with race. R-a-c-e. Okay. I'm saying race are a, y c. So this is it for the race. I can't wait to see what you guys painted. The next project is called patterns. Patterns. See you that the next project is called patterns because we will be painting some patterns. Quite straightforward. This Jack, I'm ready for my ice coffee. It's time. 9. The Pattern Part 1: And now I'm doing this class suit my brushes, pointing everything that my brushes painting. Welcome back. How did it go with race? Did you peel off the tape after it, right. I love this part. This project patterns. We will require a little more structure. We are going from simple towards more complicated. This pattern actually came to my mind during a Polish lesson, and I found myself doing it on my notebook. Then I thought, wouldn't be pretty if I use watercolors. And I did it right on my notebook. I love the color palette here. After my Polish lesson, I grabbed my ruler and draw this pattern on a watercolor paper and start painting. I love the effect. I think this pattern reminds me of some old school floor tiles from my childhood. You can find this pattern in the resource section. You can print it, put it onto your paper with a light source and just copy it from there. Or you can drag it like me, if the ruler, make sure that after you mess the edges of your page, you divide the rest of the page evenly for these small squares, or you draw them first and muscular later. Either way, this one takes a little bit of planning ahead. Believe me, planning ahead isn't the word combo I use often. Come on, let's do it together. I think the best way to do this is yes, you can divide whatever left in the middle. You can divide it evenly and reach your scores. But this might be difficult if you are left with 11 point tool and you need to divide by eight or six. So it will be uneven number, yes, and it will be difficult to do that. So I would recommend finding the middle of your page. I see 15.14, 0.7 years. Because this is here, I can put my ruler down. I will use the end of the ruler. So in here I have like 14.8. Yeah, something almost 40.8. So the middle is 7.4. Let's find the middle here. Same, 14.87, 0.4. I'm doing a bit backwards here, but you can do however you like. I'm trying to keep a beautiful canvas here for our video. So I'm not going to move mine paints because they look pretty in here, 20.9, 0.410, 0.510 point between 10.4 and 510.45. And I will draw a cross term. Fundamental. I wouldn't worry too much about lines showing. I'm still doing it lightly, but because there's going to be a pattern that it will hide these lines very nicely because you won't see it because of the contrast between two colors. So let's say I'm going to make every square root 2 cm. Doesn't matter where you put, like I'm putting on 22 here. So I'm going to mark, mark every 2 cm. Here's one, here's one. Here's 12. One to, one to look at kind of naturally shows you where it's going to be the your masking tape. And I will say here, what I do, I'm putting a number here in the middle, like e.g. eight is exactly in the middle. So from here I go to centimeters, six to 2 cm tool, and I can decide 1012, 14. Then I'm going to do the same. Let's say I'm going to put on my middle here from 12, I'm going to centimeters up 10,864.2. Then from 12, I'm going downwards 14. If your router moves a bit and if it's a millimeter of one, notices it. So it's okay. Don't worry too much about 161-82-0202. On this side. I put my middle on 18, so I mark in 2020, 220-42-6208. Now downwards from 18 161-41-2108. Now I'm going to join these lines. Like I said, I'm making this because you might be doing a different size page. It might be you might not listen to me and work on A4 or humans or smaller page or picker page. So you can always draw it by yourself, the pattern, you can draw some other pattern as well. You can draw the squares bigger, smaller. It's all up to you. This is what I do. I'm doing two centimeter squares at the moment, and I'm trying to match it to my paper. That's why I'm doing this ruler. But in the resource section, there is this pattern. You can just download it, print it, and then put it onto your paper and just mark it from there as well. It will be easier for you without fiddling with the ruler and a pencil. Again, try not to worry too much about it. This is good enough. Like if it's a little bit this way, we'll do it that way. You won't notice the difference thesis. These are just guidelines and at the end, paint, the paints will go in on each other, they will mix up and it will look messy and beautiful. And you want to realize the lines and no one will be coming and checking all your squared is bigger than that scar. That's going to happen. Okay? We have our squares. So as you can see, you can leave as your pattern, this middle part. Or you can choose that you want bigger borders and don't use this one as well. So it will be masked from here. You will mask it all up there and here it's up to you. I think what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna keep all the even squares and mask out these parts on the perimeter. And I'm going to paint in the middle, but we're not done with our pattern yet. We are going to draw two diagonal lines, like I was saying, with for this pattern, like do i2. To reach this pattern, you need to draw a diagonal line going like this, but not every, from every mark at, let's say every square root is starting here. Not from every mark, but every other. Like this. I can already see that my squares aren't super even because they don't line up perfectly the diagonal line. But like I said, doesn't matter. Now we, from this mark, we do row one. We're skipping this one and we are driving another one from here. This is a 45-degree going across from one corner of the square root to the other. We are basically trolling the buttons. Hypotenuse. I don't know how it's called in English. We drew from this one, skip this one, draw from the next. Skip this one and stand. Now the pattern is starting to emerge. And the way it's supposed to work is this line going across here. This is the end of my pattern hit like because I'm going to mask this part. I will, from the other side, I will draw diagonals. But basically, if I put on this one, you say I would make lots of tiny triangles. Like I would do this square to four because it's already divided to talk. So I'm drawing from the one that is no line going across. There is no line going across this one. I'm dividing these ones. Now according to this, not this one. Skip this one and draw from this mark. And here is our pattern ready. So once the pattern is ready, mustaches tape the paper down. Like I said, I'm going to only mask out this tiny extra bit and leave all the whole squares in the middle. Now our pattern is drawn. Edges are masked. Guess what? Yeah, ready to paint? Let's paint. This is I hope you are doing it with me or if you are doing watching and then doing later, it's just so relaxing. Painting these kind of patterns that you don't have to worry too much. It's just focusing on the paint and the colors and mixing them and relaxing activity, I recommend to you all, Let's paint. You can use the rainbow here too, because you know by now, you can't go wrong with rainbow. But as you have noticed, we have lots of triangles here, hundred and eight of them to be exact. And I have only 48 colors in my watercolor set, which includes blacks and browns, and gold and silver, which I don't use in the rainbow. There is no brown in the rainbow. I can mix and make more tones to reach this number. But I don't think it's necessary. The more fun way to do this is randomly and it's much more exciting because I tried a few and you can do it orderly as well. We will get to that at the end because like every other projects, you can do it in 1 million different ways. But I like the random colors the best. We will paint one triangle at a time. And as we go, we will decide what's the next triangle can be. If it should be a cauldron or a warmer one, lighter or darker, they mix or not. After the first two paintings I changed my waters. I have pulled cleaner is going to be again dirty and clean. But because I'm using this way for not just two paintings, for two projects. And I think I paint it like six or seven paintings in total. And I was able to use the same voltage without running to the tab. So that really helpful. So I can put my pens left side. We are done with that. I'm going to use this one. We're gonna do this one randomly. But we can decide what kind of color palette or feeling we're going to have. We can do a colder or warmer one. We can stain the yellows and greens. You can choose however you like. Or you can do it more colorful. You can use the whole spectrum of rainbow colors. You can just do it with pinks, pinks and blues. You know, by now, this is one of those parameters. You can change that with every painting there are few parameters you can change and this will give you a different result. You can adjust the pattern. Like with the stripes are raised, how we were changing the center or the witness. You can play with this parameter and it changes the final result. You can change the colors you're going to use the color palettes, changes the end result, or you can change the way you apply the paint, less paint, more paint, more vivid, less vivid. This also changes. So there are like three parameters you can play with. Less water, more water also goes into this. That if the word, if you're going to let the paint will go into each other or you're going to wait until the first layer is dried so you're not going to mix them. This is all, this all goes into how you're going to apply your paint. And this also changed. So I think for this one, I'm going to go with I don't know if you can see, but I think I'm going to use, I will drink in the middle. I'm going to use this line, mostly, which is here, you can see on the paper. But every now and then, maybe one or two. I'm going to add some blues. But that's it. Like this tree as an accent, I'm going to use just a few. And the rest I'm going to use these ones, but which one is gonna be which? I don't know yet. We will find out as we are painting. I'm going to do it randomly. So let's start with the very beginning. It says purple. As you already picked one paint. Don't waste it straight away by washing and going onto next. We can paint a few squares. You can keep one of them darker, like tap, tap, tap, dropping more pigments and one of them lighter. So with the same color you have different range, different tones. And by the time you go back to this triangle, it might be audited, right? Or you can be quick about it and paint right next to it again. And it's going to mix with the color next to it. This is a decision you have to make. I don't know how mine is going to go. Like I said, it's random. We'll see some more water and mix. I'm trying to stay in this triangles that we drew. But if it goes out a little bit, don't worry about, okay, now I'm going to switch colors. Let's play with this rose page. They touch, they mix to put another one here. I'm also going to let them touch because I liked this kind of mixing colors. Bit more. Water for the rows, page, page or beige. Maybe another one here. I'm more tend to touch them by their corners because there's just very little surface they can affect each other. If I put them side-by-side, there will be too much. I want them to mix up a little bit. But here e.g. is already trying. So if I put here salsa an option that's performer, I'm very curious how it's going to end up. Always do a little experiment and you'll see if it works or not. This is the only way to improve and get the feeling of the colors you have. Paints you have how they, how they act, how they mix together, how? Because every color you put it, when you put them, while they're still wet, they will look more vivid and you will like what you see. And once it's dry, they might get disappointing. Because they get once they are dry, they are not as good as they run, they are wet. I'm going to switch colors because I don't know where every page is gonna go. So I'm I don't want to waste paint by, keeps switching them, but in the meantime, I need to switch colors. So like slowly and slowly this painting is building and I don't exactly know how it's gonna be. So I have to switch colors every now and then. And then slowly I will be able to say, Okay, I want more pinks here. All I need to maybe add more blue or more base. I'm going to decide the feeling of the paint as I call. So I need to see at the moment, by the way, I'm picking up from the dirty jar because it's clean at the moment. That's why. Yeah, So as you do these kind of experiments, you will get a better understanding of your paint. And later on you are again painting abstract or painting scenery or building or anything like that. You will know how your paint is going to act. Let's switch to this pink. Pink is this cherry blossom pink? Like I said, this pattern reminded me of this old school floor tiles. But also when I did the first version on the watercolor paper, this one, It reminded me of this. How is it called? You see in the churches? Church windows. Windows painted with Windows. I can't remember. Designed it to check in. How was it called? I have to check. Stained-glass. They look like stained glass tomato AD it was mixing and the pinks and greens. So let's see if I will be able to achieve something similar. Yeah. I will let them. As you can see, even though they are really even among diverse, even amounts of paint, but some Payne's flow into the others. I think this comes from the density of the pigments because I think it's called osmosis, that when there are particles, the particles go from more dense environment towards less dense environment. So I think this way You also see how your paint reacts to different with different paints. Look e.g. in here, pink went into the purple, but here's yellow ocher went into the pink. Here. It's almost dried, so I'm going to make them back-to-back. 10. The Pattern Part 2: I'm going to pretend pink here. You know, it's all random. No one knows how this painting is going to end up in the next few minutes. So optimise spine on your painting, look up to you. Let's see how this pink reacts with this page. Oh, did you see how much the springs invaded into purple? There is tiny bit wet left and this pink still went over. Okay, let's switch the color. Washing my brush. Everything is recording, yes. Even now it looks very interesting. Geometric shape like leaving the white like this. Still looks cool. Now. We used purple cherry blossom rows page. A bit. Burnt sienna here, yellow or yellow ocher or gray or yellow och-re is pushing the burnt sienna. It is already dry. I'm going to back to back with this painting. I'm trying not to leave white space between them. But every now and then if there is a bit of white cap, it's not a problem. Decision you need to make. If you can leave some white caps, you decide. Tend paint, paint the entire page and don't leave any whitespace warehouse. Like I'm trying to extend them, but I'm trying to make them spread out evenly. Everywhere. One more and change colors. Putting my hand in wet paint. Okay. Let's not do that. Because I'm doing random. It's not easy to like while we were doing right side, it's clockwise, so there would be no paint under my hand in here. I can do that. The pink cut into the burnt sienna here a bit. Let's change the color. Painting starting to take shape. And I will. Move on it maroon. Make sure that this modern mixed up with some of the burnt sienna. While it has to vet. They touched here to pink. You see how the pink pushed the maroon? Because these ones, these colors are opaque. They are able to cover what's under them. They are not completely see-through. So there I think heavier. Heavier in the meaning of that, there are more narrow, more particles in the paint when we mix them up. In the sense of density, it is almost dry but might be too messy if I put here or here. But here pink is almost dry here. So as you can see, I'm trying to decide my strategy for this painting is let them mix but don't let it get too messy. I'm trying to make them touch each other on the corners of triangles, not edge to edge completely while they're still wet. Yeah. You can see a difference when you have more of the same paint and less. But I want this maroon to be vivid and mix up here. Now the painting is, I think, turning more pink. I think I'm going to add more of this yellowish colors to balance it out. Okay, one more. I'm going to use this natural page, but you can use this one too much. So I will just paint here. I'm trying to see whether I can make them touch gently. I came here. I will try to reach out to this. Yes. Yes. I like to read else. I think here. Let's see how it's going to react with my room. Natural page. Okay, it starts going into the modern intro page. Let's go on here. Sorry that I can put edge to edge on here. These are already tried. This one here writing burnt sienna. It's not good, right? I want them to touch. And then this beautiful things happen here. Maybe I let them touch here with tomorrow. Maybe one more here. In here I use to light colors. I like how they are mixed together without much contrast, but this doesn't hide the line and it doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, you can make your lines less visible. But for me it's okay. Here I will try edge to edge. Let's see if it will mix up way too much or not. Yeah. I like that. Maybe one more here. Okay. Let's change the colors. I want to put a few blue accents. Maybe I go now at some few blues. Then I can decide which my main palette. What should be the next step? I'm putting one here, two pinks here are already to try it. But the beige over there is this why this pattern is so good because even though they are far away, they can still touch in the corner. So I want them to hear. I will try very hard to touch them. Make them touch. Chapter so not too many blues, so I'm going to drop this one, maybe stronger one, turquoise flower. Head. Here. This color is dry, so I'm cutting edge to edge. But here it's not fully dried, so it's going to mix up a bit. I think I pushed here, but as you can see, it's pushing the blue colorway, this yellow ocher. They don't want to mix. Try one here. Maybe here or here in the corner. Started to dry here. Oh, I think it went very much under my mask. I hope I didn't mess up my borders. Okay, Let's do every blue three. Let's see what happens. I can see if this is not. What else should I recall? Maybe here. I made sure that they touched. Because then interesting things happened at two things. You don't control. Or look how nicely it went into the pink. These things will be beautiful at the end, like this, e.g. here or there. So far, I'm loving the palette. Feel free to use the same. So three of the turquoise we did now, ultramarine, ultramarine pale. This is also an, I hope I'm saying this word correctly, opaque. So it's not fully see-through. Colors. Blue. There's lots of paint here. Now, afford color touched here. Can you see like pink and yellow and turquoise and this ultramarine, they are all now mixing together, beautiful and bond more blue. I feel like that is more blue here, maybe something in this corner. Maybe here. These edges are dry. They won't mix. But these corners to it. As you can see, this strategy is kind of dictating how my painting is going. And touch. I didn't lose, really brought some life into the painting. And now we can go back to maybe, look, we haven't used Laila kit. I think. It's also very practical. And as you can see, I think it's one of my most use colors that it's running low. I made sure that it touched the blue. I will try to touch the blue here as well. Come on. Be friends. Here is all fully dried. I'm going to fill this part of it lilac. But this is still wet. So let's see. What type of these corners will sweat. This is not something I do often, but if you use a board on your table and tape your paper onto that part, you can lift it and lead to add water is going to run. It's not something I do, but I've seen you can do beautiful things and you can be more in more control. That's why I do. Paint is going to run. You can try that. That's something I do. Warehouse vowels. Let's put one here. I'm trying to see like a strategic, strategic point that's where I can make make them touch corner to corner. Here is dry, so I'm going to on lilac triangle here. Let's change colors. Show copy. What does the painting it I think more. Yellow. I'm going to go for hello. Oh, oh gosh. I'm looking for a suitable places where I can touch the corners of the paints. Maybe here. It's already here. Maybe. I think now it became a bit heavy here with the remaining trunks, I should try to balance it out. I think needs some yellow here. There is no yellow ocher here. 11. The Pattern Part 3: Yellow ocher here. Because of the way this pattern is drawn that in this particular spot that are eight triangles sexual touching each other. So there is, there are so many ways you can make the colors interact. You can paint this also like in very much in an orderly fashion, that there are eight squares. You can pick eight colors on top three for the eight colors, you can make them every square, eight colors in order and then repeat and then repeat. This would be also an option. Or later I'm going to show that I painted one, just blues and pinks, but I did them from top to the bottom using the same blue but not picking extra paint along the way. So it would start more saturated and gets less and less saturated, lighter and lighter. So it kind of gave a feeling of the painting. It looks more saturated on top and lighter at the bottom. And there are many ways you can do, like I say in the class, yes, that our immediate vase, you can go about Hey everyone, here, it looks like a safe spot. It's called, right? Okay, So what's next? I'm gonna change the color. What does our painting needs more? Maybe I will go back to the purple. It was the first color. We apply this this purple. Maybe here. Now I'm thinking if I should let it touch here or not. I think I'm more towards making a mess than less always. Here I can make my drone and purple together. Quite nice. To balance it out there is beige and yellow. How long has this been? I've been painting for an hour. Oh my God. This is I think the stage of flow that I didn't even realize. It's been an hour to it. Very relaxing painting. And normally while I'm doing this, I will just open some, some of my favorite stand-up comedians. I listen again and again, or some TV shows. And that is played the background. And I can do this for hours. Maybe a purple here. Let's see. This lilac goes into it now. I love it. What else do we need? Purple? Maybe here to put, always try it here. Let's see what happens. As you can see when I'm going to let the paint touch, I'm taking care of the rest and then leaving the touching point to the end. So then I don't have to fiddle with the paint here more. So everything else happens more naturally. There was a bit of a red spot here, so I left that part to the end. Then I'm not touching again. So paint does its own thing. They've just flowing into each other and make beautiful things. I'm not doing anything here I think is bad. So I'm going to do the top and the rest. And then they will just, do you see how beautiful it is? It will do its own thing. Okay, Mark ARPU, right. I'm looking for a suitable spot. Maybe here. So far. I'm loving it. Actually the way it looks like leaving some white. Also it creates a great contrast. We can also do something like that. Leaves some of them white. Let's add one here. It's all dry around. It's not going to mix up with anything, but maybe we all mixed up with the next paint. Next color we pick. Okay, Let's change the coyote got one more here. What's our next color? What do we need here? I think some thing more natural, it's already getting very colorful. I will use this rose page. And I don't think it needs more. Blue's Clues are doing a very good job. I will put one here to mix it with spare parts. Let's do one more here. Coin toss. Hello here. Let's make a mess here. It's called the edges, but here with red. Let's see what happens. Yeah, nice. Recording from the second camera. Let's put that name could put one more time to change the color, I think because I am starting called the sports. I see it our next page, page. I want them to have more contrast. Maybe here. It's coming together nicely. What's next? What shall we at Marsh? Like? More. Maybe that's a more modern. I'm cool. Sorry, I'm a little bit quiet and I think this painting is taking a long time and I spaced out level. Sorry about that. I'm also trying to focus now where I want this painting to go. Do I want more pink or more natural? I love what's happening here. So many colors came together to this pink, blue, yellow. I'm looking for a suitable spots. I think I'll put here one more modern. Okay, Let's change the color. Maybe. I can add a bit more burnt sienna. I dropped some of the paint our attention, and I'm going to paint here and go back to it. When you have too much paint on your brush, It's difficult to control where it's gonna go. I'm going back to the first triangle. I let them touch over there. Now right here it states wet so long a nicely like what's happening here. I kind of don't want to mess it up. I just need to take something, guys. Sorry. I put my head in there but I couldn't see if here is dry or not. Maybe here. My house on here. That's making a mess here. There's a try see. So the yellow ocher, I think it was flowing into every paint I touched it with. I think it's a very dense paint. And same with this one. It's attached to this purple here. Okay, Let's change colors. I think I will give you more pink. What else can we use? The pink traveling here? I'm messing it up. A little bit. More pink. On this pink here. Maybe here. Here. You see anywhere else. You would like. I think maybe here. Let's change colors. Lilac. Now it's also time to decide if I want more blue anywhere. You could be lilac. I like what's happening here is I'm trying not to touch too much, not too messy. So we have like 1234567 spots left on to add more blue anywhere. 12. The Pattern Part 4: Here I am at its natural page. Here, all sides. Page last five here, page maybe store up to one close here. Here's tears protests, blue here. I think, but it is not need. I think here I let this rose page. How's page? I like what's happening here. So I will try not to touch too much here page as well. Now, we cannot let it dry. Okay. Recording. Yes. Let's put your day. You're still recording. Videos recording. Okay. Now, our painting is dry. I realized while I was finishing the paintings last two triangles, my video stop because I've been painting for 1.5 h. The video was struck. Kick up 12 gb, big and my phone than other space. Sorry about that. But there isn't exciting tomorrow boxes. I don't know. I think it was this one. This one and that one. This one and that one, something like that. And now I let it dry. And I love it. It looks really good. I'm very happy that I chose this pinkish and yellowish color palette. And I'm really glad I added two epitopes blue. Otherwise I think it would be $2.02 blues. Blue accents pulling, give it more life into it and more contrast. And I love it and I love how it's in every now and then pain score into each other and the gradients it created. I love it. So now let's just peel off the tape and then we can talk about what else we could have done with this project. What else we could change? What else you can change? And what you can do? This is my favorite part. I think this is art in some way. What do you think? I like? How they end up with some colors going on around and all the types I've been feeling from my bank with this one, I'd know why, but it leads to quite a bit underneath here. You can always try to put a tape or unmask the paint after you finish and put white paint here to make it more even if you want to be that predict paint or as it's acrylic, you can just try to cover it with the brush and make a straight line here. It's an option. You can also delete and delete, erase these leftovers, guiding lines from our pattern. So this is our final painting, and here it is. The final result is gorgeous object. Let me see your pattern. Check you supposed to help me produce this class not paint. I know it's inspiring, but can you wait at least until the class is over? As I was telling you earlier, you can paint this pattern in a countless different ways. E.g. the original painting I made for this class. And it really makes me excited. It was this one here that are more greens and pinks. And I liked the next chart here. It's somewhat more like it reminds me of spring, David. And like I said, it reminds me the stained glass in the churches use cutesy. You can go something like this using yellows, greens, pinks, and blues that are also the wider color palette I use in here. In here, more limited color palette I used, and I like this one as well, very much how it turned out. So there are three things you can change with all these projects. The pattern, these are all parameters you can play with and end up with different results. One is the pattern, either it's stripes or race or pattern like this. You can change the pattern, make it bigger, smaller, wider, or narrower, and you will end up with a different result. You can change the color pallets like in these two examples, different color palette, different results. That's another parameter you can change. The third parameter is the way you apply your paint. You can apply less paint. It will be lighter, more paint, it will be more vivid. You can. In the previous example, why we're making race one and more saturated and the other end less saturated. You can put the first layer, let it dry and put the second layer after. So there will be no wet-on-wet mixtures like this. This is all about how you apply your paint and that's the third parameter. You can change. These ones both. I want them to mix up like this, and I love the result. But if you look here in this example, again, more limited color palette. I picked the blues in my color. Watercolor set. The, these pinks here and maroon and the purpose of islets here. This is the maroon and these are the pinks. Give me a second. Okay, I'm back. I literally had to go and drain the pasta. Because over here is real life. People got eight. Now, we were talking about the parameters. In this one I picked two blues and pinks and purples, violets. And the way I applied the paint, I did it orderly. I didn't make do it randomly like this one and this one. Here, I picked some of the blue. And I apply it here, here, here, here. And as you can see, there are less and less vivid because I didn't pick up any more paints. So this is the way you apply the paint. This is one of the parameters you can change. So because of that, when you look at the painting, the top part looks more vivid and more saturated and it's getting frayed at, towards the end. This gives you another result or you can think of it this way as well. These ways you can do it from the center towards the edges. Make it this way. This is just an example. You could have done, the blues going from top to bottom, getting less saturated. And then the purples. You can do it other way around. Like more saturated here and less saturated here. So it will be like from blues are getting more faded and purples are getting faded towards here. So it will have a different effect. These are all the things you can change and you can do it orderly, like in here I showed you. Here is an example how you can change the pattern and end up with a different result. I made smaller squares, I think 1 cm squares, and I didn't divide all of them, two triangles, but some of them randomly and painted this one randomly as well. And sometimes they touched and mix, but mostly I think I let it, I paint one square and I paint it somewhere else. And I went back here while it was already dry so they didn't mix up like here. So I tried to keep it this way. Or you can pick a different pattern entirely, make it simpler for yourself. This one, I taped it and the leftover space, I did it, divide it to I with my ruler, of course, had to look how much space I have iPhone the middle, and divide it to 6.6 here, 123456. And then I just used a wider range of colors from red to my blues. And then when I finished, I just continued from this wireless with these pinks and beige and then went back to dread. So it started with trade, finished with this kind of I was just having fun. And trying something new. And you can also do a simple pattern and make it easier for yourself if this is what you would like. I like this one very much because how simple it is and how looking at goods, like literally I can just put it on my own. I love looking at it. This one. I want to do another one similar to it. But I taught what is actually interesting because it's six to six rectangles. What if I did it like a color wheel starting with blue, green, yellow, red, purple, how would that look like? Not like, because there are squares, not round objects. How would that look? This is what I ended up with an I usually like the result of this one that I put two blues here. But because there's going to be right here, I thought circles should be here. And over here, yellow. So the greens I put here between blue and yellow, and between yellow and red, that are the oranges and in the middle they get mixed up. I also painted this one like I painted erase that. I tried to keep every color in its own rectangle, but I let them touch every now and then. So there are these white ones showing through the rectangles. And I just like the result. There is also this way you can do three parameters. Pattern, change the pattern, you will have a different result. Color palette, warmer, colder, more like a rainbow. It's up to you. You can change the color palette or you can change how you're going to apply a feeling. Let them mix into each other. If you're going to add water on top of it, creates I was showing you those water marks after they dry. All the way you apply your paint also makes a difference and that's the third parameter you can change and you can end up with millions of different paintings. I run out of breath. And later we will do fun things with these as well as you can see here, that are already some splashes on them. We will do this later. Moment. We are focusing on the base projects. So that's it for the patterns. And let's go back to me. Speaking in front of the camera. By you can do however you like. It's totally up to you. I can't wait to see what you'll come up with. We are done with this project. The next project is my favorite. You're going to use masking tape, but not only for the edges, but to draw a C on the next one. Check your painting improved so much. Jack, you didn't forget pressing the record button even wants this time. I hope. I'm hungry. 13. Masking Tape Part 1: Now wherever we are, wherever we masking tape. Welcome back. In this part, we are going to do art with masking tape. This part is a bit different. Like I said, we are getting more and more complicated, but not much. All of this is purposefully kept it very simple. Lidl work, lots of colors, great results. That's the goal of this class. In this project, we will use masking tape to actually paint. In one of my previous classes, I have so many. I was explaining that watercolors is see-through medium and white in your paintings comes from the plight of the paper you are painting on. That's why for highlights, you just leave an unpainted whitespace painting. Without painting. We will use the same principle here. We will cover our page with tape randomly, and those parts will stay white and unpainted. And this will give our painting a very cool look. Once again, you can put your tape however you like. For this project, I'm going to do it randomly. But you know, by now that are 1 million different ways you can try. I actually used to do this with acrylic paints and this is how my internet personal Instagram account fabric started. If you're going to deep dive on my Instagram account, you can find them. So I was fired from my first copywriting job. Not rightfully, if you're interested, I was doing my job perfectly. I'm using the term perfectly, very loosely here. But me and a few of my colleagues had our differences with the boss. At the end, I sue them and like two years later or something, I want and it kept me nothing I taught there will be an official apology and a backflow of money here for the trouble because they are terribly sorry. None of that. Instead, they told me I could get my old job back. It decelerated. I had back then from two years ago. What a downgrade. And this brings us to the end of today's episode of workplace trauma. Anyway, I was home alone and I was looking for a new job. And in the meantime, I started throwing some paint on the canvas. I really like this masking idea. I was using text, but I was also using whatever I could find to create a different texture. After this project, you can also think what else I can use to create a mask for my paintings with acrylic, it's easier because the paint stays where you leave them. But watercolor tends to spread and it gets soaked into the water then travels. So you need something like a tape or maybe a masking fluid. Let's paint too many lights here and I have a son on the top of me. This is literally the roof. And I'm wearing a hoodie and I'm boiling. Jacqui didn't think this through. Jack bring my brushes where my brushes. Now, we're going to use masking tape to make some art. You've been already using masking tape to make art that Omni to mask pages. We're going to take it a step further. And first, of course, I'm going to mask pages. I don't know why in the last painting it went under evening parts, this straight parts, but there were no overlaps, but it's still under I feel like it was about the paper because this paper I had already used, maybe that I touched it and there was a bit of grease and that could be one. But like I said, it doesn't bother me. And if you use a fresh paper district and be an issue for you. Okay. Little brush. Don't be excited to start painting and second, you need to wait your turn. My brushes can't stay still. So excited for this project. And so am I. So we're going to cover the page with masking tapes, like not the whole page, but randomly. This is a very key quantities you can see. You can also use this ice. I always say you can do whatever you want and end up feet. Different results. And in fact, I want you to end up with different results. I want you to try your own ideas. Like put a spin on what I'm showing you here. But what I'm going to do is this is a very thick one. You can also use, put this across your page and paint over it. But I'm going to use this very thin one. Or if you can't find the masking tape like this, you can use washi tapes. This thin wash steps also go to the top. Like this. Let's put them here. This one, I have it for such a long time. I had this, like I was telling you when I was painting with acrylics at the beginning of my painting, journey in two hops to pump works Instagram. I found this in a bill to stop this very thin months and I still have it. Okay. So I'm going to cover the page. Randomly. Thin tape. You can do it like kind of semi randomly like you can create a pattern with this. It doesn't have to be diagonal like that. You can choose how it's going to be. But climate moment, I don't have any plan. I'm just looking at it and taking some type and applying. I will try to leave the corners intact without masking. So when the painting is done, there are clean corners visible in one of the paintings. I the tape like this and it was cutting the corner. It looked a bit like a mistake. And I will try to avoid. So how is it going so far? You can, you don't have to go all the way across. You can also cut it tape. It's finishing here. And I said I'm not going to put the corners. So more like this. Just make sure that it doesn't exit the parameters of the tape here. And this leftover, Let's use it somewhere else. I don't know the anatomic this today. I will try to make sure I'm pressing down the tapes overlap. It won't click on this, hopefully this time. But if it does, you know me, I'm not bothered by that. Quick looks like this. It could be up to me. Can do whatever I want to leave a triangle here. All right? There's a bit of an odd shape here I will. Triangles are good, but this one bothered me for some reason. I'm going to break that two triangles. Okay. I think that's it. For this painting. I'm putting my tapes on the side. I'm done with that. Let's paint the fun part. Now it's your turn brush. I'm going to use. You can see it here. I was looking at and I picked this nine colors here that there are Horizon Blue, ultra marine pale and turquoise blue, blue, gray deep in parallel. Violet, cobalt violet, yellow, ocher, or gray? Gray, Burnt Sienna, and maroon. This nine colors is my palette for this painting. Let's see how that goes. I will start and i, okay. I was telling you about those parameters you could change about your paintings to end up with different results. This is the pattern I picked. What I changed. In terms of patterns. I've picked a color palette and the way I apply the paint, I'm going to let them mix for this painting. And so it means that I will start with warm colors and I will go over the tape, but tapes will be masking these parts. And then I will add another color and I will let them mix. There will be lots of wet-on-wet. So they will go into each other. Let's see how it's going to turn out. 14. Masking Tape Part 2: Going to each other. Let's see how it's going to turn out. I will try to be quick with this painting so they will be still wet when I'm applying the next colors. Let's continue with this. Let's add some voters, some more paint. And some here, maybe adding water will create those shapes I like. And also it will stop the paint from drying too quickly. And maybe let's pick some of this cobalt violet. Violet is very strong and potent, so I don't want to use too much of it. Okay, It's already started trying here and glue is drying here. I need to be quick. So, so quite hot in here, like I was telling you before. Let's use this. What was it? Turquoise blue. Turquoise blue here. And I'm moving on to yellow Eau Claire. Now some maroon. I don't have much time to think, to be honest, I'm just doing what I can here as fast as I can. What else? What else did interviews. We didn't use this ultramarine pale. And I liked this ultra mine. It's opaque color. I will splash around. You can always, especially around, especially as good. But let's use some of this burnt sienna expression of it. At home. If tears. Here. Let's drop some water here. My pigments are more fun. What else? We also didn't use this imperial violet. Let's try two. Some of them has an accent in some places. And I think we need more of this yellow ocher because they've got a bit too pale. Yellow to some contrast to the purples and blues. Okay, I think it's done. You can, in some parts look and you can have a look. Now, the painting is done. If you're not very happy, How did things, right? The paints. If you see brushstrokes that bothers you or something, you can try to add some more water that and try to blend it. Other than that place here, I can maybe get a little. Yes. And also, if you see some places that you are not, you think that there is too much mixing to scaling to matter. You can pick up some of this paint either with directivity or kitchen towel or with the help of your brush. Okay, I think I like it now let's let it do its own thing and dry. And then we will the best part, we've got the peel it off. Now. Our painting is dry. I might have helped with the hairdryer it a little bit, but it is now we can appeal. Of course, let's do that first. It's taped. My paper is a little bit here. It does nothing to type comes picks that whitespace. Isn't it found revealing this white space left undertake, and the rest is all nice and colorful. I love how this part is blue or yellow and orange looks really cool. And there is a dark space here. It's also very fun to look at. Okay. Guys, it turned out even better than I thought it. To be honest. I wasn't sure. Because when you pick a color palette and just start mixing them on the paper, that is always a risk that it will turn out to Maddie and the colors won't work well together, but I'm very happy with the result. So I was showing you earlier these kinds of groups. You can just let them press overdue and they're gone. Fix them quickly. Here. Yes. Here it led under the taper bit and getting the majority happened here. Like I said, you can fix this with a bit of white acrylic paint over it. Or if you're like me, something about Readtopia, I really like the result. As you can see this splashing around while the paint was still wet. Splashing red paint over them created these marks. Here I can see some of the results. Here. I can see here the splash, some blue here, around here and here. And I feel like every box, every triangle heaps different. And something else is going on in here, purple and yellow in here, purple, yellow, but there is also a bit of red and blue. Here is more dark. Blue gray tip. Here, I think is my favorite one. It's very well balanced here. And here. This violet over here, this cobalt violet looks very vivid. I really like to hear something different happened. That majority of the paint I think was over the tape. So EBIT of its bled onto the already dry area. So it created this really cool patterns. So this is how you can paint. Without painting these white parts, we didn't do anything over them, but it gives a very cool effect to your paintings. And this is just the beginning. Later, we will do other things on them. Perfect. Jack will be with us in the next class? No. Okay. I guess that will make much difference. You being you mentioned there and everything. Now, what else could we do? The answer is a lot. We could have used the rainbow. You know, you can't go wrong with the rainbow. Jack. Why is it so hot in here? I'm boiling. So what else could we do? We conclude this is another example I did while I was working on this class as a research, let's say. And this, what made me decide to go onto this project. I like this one even more than this one. So these two are very similar. The similar random tapes. The pattern is the same. I use the different color palette and we change the end result of it. And the way I apply the paint was similar. I also teach here at extra water and let them go into each other while they were still wet, wet on wet. So what else could you have done? You could have changed the pattern, make it more evenly an orderly and up three rectangles and squares. And this way, I ended up with a painting that looks like a modern Mondrian. Mondrian, Mondrian, mondrian. Mondrian, mondrian. Mondrian, mondrian, Mondrian, mondrian monitor. Again, the color palette in here is different than the other. So that's another way. It created this different painting. Also. I tried to paint everything evenly in here and I didn't let anything touched each other. Like I did this a bit of color blocking. Yes. The blue is not mixing two pink and anywhere else. So I made this color blocks with the tapes, the shapes I create it with the masking tapes. I kept them in their own boxes and we end up with a very different looking painting that you can also go this way as well. You could have. In terms of color choice. This was on the wall. Maybe you realize the earlier. You could have gone. In color wise. You could have just have chosen one color. And in here what I did was I picked one box and painted differently. So this is like focusing the point, focusing the observers to this point like something is happening here, that this is like standing out in the crowd. This reminds me that I use gray in the rest of the paint. The color palettes made a difference. Here, even though similar paintings that random masking tapes around. And the way I apply the paint, I added extra water to create these textures and just picked one yellow. It could have been fully gray, also are fully yellow. This is also one way to go about it. If you have a favorite color like that or you could have done for a friend, maybe your favorite color is yellow and your friends is blue and everything else is gray. So like you and me against the world, like you could load meaning into it. Yes, if you want to. Or this is another level. That's why I love this masking tape project. You could have done, you could have drawn something with masking tape that you could add another meaning to your painting this way, e.g. here, in this example, I drew a diamond shape, very popular shade. People really liked this diamond shape. I also do. So I thought, Okay, I'm gonna draw a little diamond. And this also helped me paint the rest accordingly. In here I drew the diamond and the rest. I also did some random masking tapes. And I want to paint the diamond pink, but I let it out a bit so it looks like a little shine. And rest of the page, I decided to do dark so that this pink would stand out. So I end up with this spacetime light in here. I did this wet-on-wet splashes. You can see a bit of blue and pink going into the dark, indigo and gray. But later, once it was dried, I edit more pink splashes once it was dry so that they didn't blend and they stand out. So it gave a bit of a space look. Things are floating there are, as you can see, more fuzzy blues that they are like more in the background. And these are in the foreground in focus with a diamond. With the acrylic paint, I drew these diamonds and also edit extra white dots. So I end up with this space-time. This is the calm part of this masking tape because you can come up with so many different ways. I'm a big fan of coffee. Then I painted this coffee making machine brca, with the masking tapes and you can do so many different things. If, if I was saying earlier, there are 1 million ways you can go about a painting. Now there are another million maybe because you can draw literally anything. The options are limitless. I think I gave you quite a few ideas there. Let's see which one will speak to you. I can't wait to see what you will come up with. The next project will be the last, and we will paint some maps. See on the next one object, we know that your name was James in the first-class. Hold on. Notice. 15. Maps Part 1: Welcome back. This is the last project, but it's not the end. I have some extras. I always have something extra. But after this project hanging there, okay. There will be different levels. Level one on the let's see how many levels are there. Because see, I picked this project because a map can be used in so many ways and it is related to all of us. We all live summer, or we want to live somewhere else. So you can pick any map for this project. There are a few templates in the resource section tool, or you can just find it on the internet, your paper on the, on your screen and just throw it from there. Just like I was showing in my Everyone can draw class less than a copy everything. So why a map? I think it's too hot. Well, I picked all the projects in this class to go on your role at the end. And then map can carry lots of meaning. And you shouldn't only think about the country maps to it can be a city, region, or even a neighborhood. You could paint a map of the neighborhood you were born in or you study. It can be a map of the country you really want to visit or living. It can be a map of the place you met with your partner and you could paint it for them. The present You see, I haven't take care of your present needs or for your parents, your siblings, whatever land is connecting, you could be your subject. And we can use the painting techniques we learned from the previous projects to make this map colorful and beautiful. But this will not be it because after this lesson there will be less than cold the next level. And in there we will discuss what else we can do to take our paintings to the next level. So they will be even more gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous for the maps we paint, we will try to make them more special by highlighting places you have been or you would like to, like cities or your primary school. We will add little drawings and doodles on them to bring out what makes this map special. We will add little notes to remember about the places we have memories with. So that's why maps. Yes, so now we're going to draw a map for this. I'm going to eat element for this project because I want this to be like kind of a mood board. No, yes, it will be like a mood board for me. It will be showing the places I want to go and I'm gonna throw Italian, but I will try to show the easiest way to do this. Like I said, you can just, easiest way is to copy. I found Italian map from the Internet. For you. There'll be some on the Resources section that you can just print and use like this one. But I can show you one of those at the moment because I haven't prepared them yet. Making a class is a complicated project. And I'm not there yet. I'm recording the painting which is at the moment. So this is iFont from the Internet, I just printed it. I'm going to put on top of it. So as you can see, I can't see anything here at the moment because the light is coming from the top and shiny. But I will just align here, okay. By holding towards the window, I aligned, aligned it where I want. I'm not supposed to be. So basically you need a light source under the, underneath to be able to copy like that because the watercolor paper, 200 gram, It's thick. You, especially with light shining from top, you won't be able to see it. So what I'm gonna do, I need a light source and I was thinking, what can I show you that to be the easiest for you? I am going to use my phone. I held my camera towards my light source, could be against the window as well, make it as great as possible, and took a photo and then made my fun. The brightest. Yes. So I have a white screen here. I'm going to turn off the lights for this part. And when I put this on top, I can see my map. Like me. Yeah, rearrange the light here. You can see is this. Of course it would be ideal if you are doing this with a laptop screen big enough. But I taught everyone has a phone. And this is how we can do these blue and red. You can see because like I said, I'm reusing my paper's not to create too much, to consume too much. Re-use, re-purpose, recycle. That's why you see it actually looks cool like already a painting. Um, so what I'm gonna do here is I'm going to grab my pencil. And I will just very lightly go over this map. When I ran out of space, I just moved moved my papers because I taped them. They stay in the same place. So I don't have to worry too much. I'm not trying to perfectly like this is already pretty good copy of the map. That this is not, I'm not a cartographer. This is not going into a book. This is just for a painting. As long as it resembles the map. It reminds you that this is Italian. This is good enough. You can just look at it and drove it as well like that. Or I thought I would show something that's for everyone that is copying. I remember in the primary school, I would copy maps like this. And let's put aside and turn on the light. As you can see my map here. So like I said, this is a painting class. We're going to focus on the paint and colors and we're not going to worry about drawings, but we need sometimes some structured. And I tried to show you the easiest way without stressing too much about drawing something. I hope this was easy enough. This is our map. Since I'm gonna need another map I'm later. I will show you another way you can do this by fresh papers. And again, you hold it against a source of light and it just where you want your map to be on the page. I think this is good enough. I'm going to hold it down this time. It's better to brush up on the site. Don't be too excited. Your time will come. I put it on top of it with a pencil again, I'm going to draw over the math like this, but I'm really pressing down here. This is another way to copy. Actually, back in the day when I was going to primary school long time ago, that it was very popular. There was something called carbon paper. That is, that's how we call this in Turkish. You put between the two pages, that one on the top 21 you want to copy and the 12 at the bottom, the one you want to copy on. And there was this carbon paper that when you go over something like this, it would just copy everything to the bottom. If you know such a paper and if you can get it, you can also use that. The way I'm showing you now is not as easy as the coping with the phone screen with lights or something it because you will have to do this twice. I'm going over this now. Then I will remove this and I will read a waterproof pen. I will draw again this map. Again. I'm not worried too much. I'm staying in this black line. But if I don't, not, the end of the world and now the islands. And this can be educational as well. But e.g. I'm thinking, I know one of these islands is Cecilia, but which one? I guess this one, I will check. My geography. Isn't that good? So this way you can do this project. If you pick a country you want to go and you don't know much about it, you can learn something. So now I will turn off the light again. Once again. Can you see Ainsley, Is it not be true? Okay. Yeah. So I'm only doing this to be able to show you on the camera. Normally it's necktie. You can easily see, now I will go over this. Where is my okay, so to be able to draw, because from the big lights from the top, I wasn't able to see. I set up my form like this and now I can easily see what I'm drawing and I will just go over these these marks I made through the page. I print it with the map I found on the internet. You can do the same as another way to copy. You can do this for anything. Guys coping is not a bad thing. It's going to make you it's going to help you get somewhere you need to go. This is a tool you can use. As I was telling in my previous class, everyone can draw. Like if this is the barrier in front of you, That's why you're in a drawing. Because all this while you're on a painting, because you can draw something to paint, just copy it, and move on to the painting. And you'll just get better at this. And soon you will realize you don't even need to copy anymore and just don't let these simple things stop you and hearing from people or copying is not good. It's not art is you are an artist. You shouldn't cocky or anything like that. You don't have to listen to anyone but yourself. And you can listen to me because I'm always on your side. And here we go. There is another map we just copied and I think it's perfect. Now, let's tape it down on the escaping. This time I'm taping it down mostly for keeping it in place rather than protecting the edges. Because now I have something to paint this that in previous projects we didn't have anything, any shape like this. And TV are usually painting all the way to sites. For this example, I'm going to paint this map. What did you say, darling? Thank you so much. And this is all recorded. Now maybe I will put forward it breaks my heart, just called me that my lunch was very nice of birth, but we have a painting to finish. For this project. I'm going to paint this map. The colors of the Italian flag. It's going to be green, white, and red. I'm going to do, I'm going to imagine, I'm dividing this to three. And green. I will keep it white and I will do it right here. Which screen should we use? I think which screen and we shut this olive green is very nice. And all you would provide a matching to Italy concept. But it's kind of a stronger greened. This, maybe this hookers green could be like here. Yes, I was right. This one is Sicily, Sardinia. Sardinia. Sardinia. Danielle, I think I would love to go there on day. I heard Cecilia is pretty as well. Okay. Those are the things I'm going to highlight in the next level. Next level before we put them on the wall. But when I painted, it will be also just pretty enough to put it on the wall and you can do the same time. The news is Hooker's green and red. I'm going to use. This trait, but cut new Kotlin. It's great to be here. Thanks. Sure. I have a white paint as well. I think in the middle I will apply this paint. So let's take an actually mix each other. Again, I'm not going to try to make perfectly even let it go out of the lines every now and then. It will just look much more interesting this way. Mba to talk expression here or here. Now before it gets dry, I want to try this white paint. First. I'm painting parts that are far away and then I'm going to touch the green. I clean my brush, I will pick some more white, and I will also squash here. But now I'm going to take this cadmium red. You can see I'm painting. Very lastly, I like how it looks. You can paint it more accurately if you want to, why it was coming all the way here and I'm now letting them touch. I'm maybe I will add more white now and pick some more red. Especially it will be good as well. Pick some more white. Especially here. I allowed to mix it quite right as well. Actually, very quickly. Wouldn't allow this on your wall. I didn't do it. I definitely will. And it will be even better when I add some places I wanted to go and take some notes. It's going to be great. And we will let it dry and then we'll talk about, OK. Now, our painting is dry. Let's peel the tape. 16. Maps Part 2: Our painting is done, is you can see, I really like the splashes. I think you can follow my advice here and splash around a bit. And I'd like to flag colors. It turned out great, even though we're on a white page and we did white. If you don't have white paint, you could have made it blend into dislike this by just adding some water here after applying your green at some water and then let the water touched where the greens and it will just blend into it. I think the effect will be similar. The difference here is that this white paint is opaque and it's lots of pigment in it. So I think it's created these extra textures we see. And I was also, as you saw, splashing with white and it created these lighter spots. Here. You can see. So it might be difficult for you to see, but some of those white splashes are actually visible to the eye. It's very bright for this video moment. But that here, some of them came on, on the top of the map line and it's visible. So it is all, these all add an extra textures and it looks good to the eye. So in my opinion, this is ready to go on my wall and remind me of my goals. However, it will be even better in the next level. So this is my map I painted as a vision board for myself. This is the country I really like to visit. And in the next level, I'm going to add the place psi1 to visit. The things I want to do. I can put this on my wall just above my laptop. So everyday when I'm working, I can look at it and it will motivate me to work harder and make money so I can go to the place I want to go and do the things I want to do. This is just one idea. It will be complete when I add those highlights on my map. But what else could we do? You know the answer a lot. What else could we have done? This is one way to do it. There are 1 million different ways. We could have painted, draw every region and painted all of them separately in different colors so that I will show more of the different regions if I'm, if I want to focus on that, e.g. where it's drawn various Milan or we could just paint it most of the, most of, most of Italy, the same colors, but highlights the cities. I want to highlight. E.g. here there's Rome, here, there is Milan. And they just Nepali. This way. If I want to e.g. highlight these areas that I want to go or I visited and I want to show where I've been in Italy. And if I want this painting to remind me when it's on my wall or on my graph above my desk. I could have painted this way as well. This is also an option. I could have painted, again, use the Slack colors like I did with the original paintings. But using negative space. Don't paint map of the country, but paint outside. You have a different result. It is more colorful that it is more impactful than the first one. I could have used the rainbow. You can't go wrong with the rainbow. You could have painted by just splashing. In here what I did was small piece of paper. I create the mask. I will show you that I created this mask weight piece of paper I put on top and then I take them to each other so they would stay in the same place. What I did was use two different types of green and two different kinds of red and white. And I splashed them, but after splashing warm colors, I stopped and let it dry. So when I splashed thread one or white one, they didn't make so they look like confetti here. And with this mask, it didn't go anywhere else. And you could have painted this way. Or this is, I'm going to show up but it's not my favorite. But I'm showing you an example that's not every painting you will try. It's going to work The same way. You could have just do one splash after another while the other color is still wet so the splashes could mix. Red and green doesn't mix well. I knew this, but I want to try anyway. Maybe if I splashed into the less, it would be better. But I end up with this may very messy look. And this part is not the problem, but then I thought this outside, what would happen if I just let it blend with water with like sea surrounding the country. And I end up with this. It turned out very muddy and not very pretty. But maybe we'll try to save this in the next hour. You could have not focused on a country. Maybe you want to, you want to paint the city that, that is in some specialty, or maybe you want to visit or you lift, or you met your partner. Here. I painted stumble. Stumble map might not be recognizable for straightaway, this is the Bosphorus. I focused on where my life was happening when I was growing up in stumble. This is the historic Peninsula where there are historical walls around the city. And this is the Golden Horn that there are three bridges on it. And this is the Bosphorus Bridge number on British number two. This is the Asian side. This is the European side. I grew up in here. And there were some cultural centers, centers alongside this side of the coast and also on this side of the coast. And there are some forest areas. I use green for that idea and I do like how this turned out that the bit, the contrast between the Navy and this och-re worked out very well. I didn't let the colors mix each others in this one. What I did was that I applied color to the coast and then add lots of water. So it would be fading towards inverts. And then I added the green than I added the C all separately here. And then there are some splashes. This also could be e.g. this could be something if someone did this for me, that because the stomach is important for me. With the important details like maybe a university friend of mine at where we went to similar place all the time, highlighted the places we went back then. That would be very special person and that would definitely go on the wall. Let's say you paint the country. Here's the country. Turkey map I painted. And in here you can see the regions that are how many? 812-34-5678 regions of Turkey. And I use different colors. And what I did was I added next color while the first one was still wet, so I let them blend into each other, not in a very particular order. And then I get some clean wet brush with clean water. I just came from outside and touched and let this color go outside of it and end up with this result. And I really like it. You could also do every region and draw every region with a bit of a gap between them. So this is the, if you look at this, this is the same Math. Same regions, everything is the same. But what I did was I drew an extra line and leave a white gap between them and doesn't let the colors blend. So by changing one thing, I ended up with a different result. So you can do the same, decide which way you go when you're going to paint a map. That was lots of painting. This was it for the maps. Later. In the next level, we will do more. We will add other layers to these maps. Maybe some of them we will try to save, some of them we will try to make it more special. And that's it for now. And I can't give you any more examples, but whatever connection you'll find, a map will give you another angle to make your painting special and unique to you. Whether it's the places you have been, all whom you share memories. Use the colors you like, add your own details, make it your own. I will show you some examples of combining the projects, e.g. you can all the projects, you learned, all the projects you did with this class, you can combine them together to come up with something new, e.g. the first project we did was what was it? Read it strikes, didn't we? First project was stripes. What if we combined stripes? We eat masking tape idea. What would we end up if we use stripes? But the masking tape idea as well, we could have end up with something like this that I apply the masking tape to give me a sort of a shape to stay on painted. Then I pick the color palette and stripes to, and I end up with something different than the original. And this way, e.g. if you want to do some writing over it and change it in any way that you can use these other techniques, put them together, and end up with different results. Or another project we did was Project Number two. I think it's less stress. What could we do, e.g. what would happen if you combine the race project with maps? How could we combine that? And I ended up with something like this. This is the map of USA, United States of America. And I, after drawing the map, I draw some ways and end up the different painting. So you can combine the techniques you learned. You can combine the strategies you learned to end up with a different result. This is it for the Maps, except it's not. That will be the next level. In the next lesson, we will try to elevate all of our paintings to next level. See you that last, this is last one. This is last one. I'm not doing more. This is our son, Jack. Where's my hot brown beta linkages? 17. Next Levels (Level 3: Splashes): Welcome to the next level. So we painted our projects and this is the next level. Next level, like there will be more than two levels, I think. Let's see. I'm sweating like a pig. It's hot in here, guys. It's really hot. And dislikes are not making it an easier. This will date this hoodie with a stupid idea. I'm telling you. It's all because of check. Jake's idea that every time we will have a different colored hoodie and to look nice and recognizable. Great idea. So we painted five projects, but they all have variations. And you could combine them with each other, like masking tapes with these tribes or the maps with race. So this gives you a hundreds of ideas to try and you can come up with even more. Just change a thing, tweak something, and you will come up with something new. Change the colors, change the patterns, use more paint, use less paint, use more water. And you will have something new and original. Something that's yours that no one else ever created before. You might not always like the results. I will say this to this camera. If that's okay with you, you might not always like the results. Let those paintings teach you what you didn't like and try to avoid the same parts in your paintings or find what you could change next time. The difference between your painting and mansions is just a few brush strokes. Maybe say ten brush strokes, maybe it's 10,000. But at the end of the day they are just brush strokes. But always keep in mind. You do you, now you have your projects in front of you. Maybe you made five paintings alongside me, maybe three or maybe 15. They are looking great and can't wait to go on your wall, hold them in your hand. Can you feel the excitement? They can't wait. Please share them with us so we can appreciate them as well. In this section, I'm going to show you a few things that will take your paintings to the next level if you want. Of course, like I said, they are ready. They are already gorgeous. You can just put them on your wall. But with a few extra touches, we can make them more special. Purpose them differently. Enter splashes, special grade. They give this random feeling to your paintings. It's not easy to let loose and paint loosely with watercolors, but it splashes. You can still be in control, whatever similar feeling with it. I recommend picking two main colors from your painting and adding y to them that are opaque, white watercolors. So they will be visible on the top of dark colors. If not, you can use acrylic white paint. If it's too thick. At some water, it will give you a crisp white dots. The splashes give your paintings a bit more debt. When you look at them, your eyes jump from one to another. It gives more to look at. Now, what I'm recommending you here is splashing over an already tried painting, but going back a little, you can also splash around while you're painting is still wet. This is also an option. This will give that loose watercolor painting feeling even more because your splashes will blend with the other colors depending on how much water is that at the time you will get different results. Then once the painting is right at more splashes, this will give even more depth to your paintings because now it looks like there are some splashes in the foreground that are in-focus and there are some splashes, fuzzy, out-of-focus at the background. You can also go with the black color when it comes to splashes. That's also an option. I love the contrast of light and silhouette against a strong light source. Definitely try that. And whatever you are painting after this class, either it's a full-on painting or just some watercolor washes or even some titles on your sketch journal. Don't forget to Special K, especially is good. Have you noticed that I'm always trying to take you back to your childhood. Draw like no one's watching, splash around, draw on that wall. Children are infinitely creative and with education and responsibilities they forced out of us. We just need to go back to those times. And what's that? Hi. It's literally dripping from my back. I don't know if I Will Survive it sorted. Think we just need to go back to those times when we did things just because we wanted to or we felt like it, not because we have to or we are responsible because that's where creativity's find your inner child and asking for directions, asking various creativity. You won't be able to tell you because he doesn't know anything but his creative probably because he doesn't know anything. He can approach things differently and he has an open-mind. He can see an empty box and imagine a space shuttle or a submarine. On the other hand, when I see an empty box at home, what I'm thinking is what was inside the box, who brought it in here? Is it clean or I should recycle it or recycling is tomorrow. I should take out the rubbish or the dealer is burning. That was a little rant about creativity and how we lose it. We understand each other right? Now. I'm going to start with this one. This is kind of the hero painting because this was the inspiration. This is what I want to see on my wall. This is what I taught people would like to see on the role and thinking how easy it is to make. I wanted to show this and edit bunch of other projects next week, but this is the hero of army, the hero project. I will start with this now what we're gonna do, you're gonna splash on them. Yeah. Why? Because first of all, it's fun. Secondly, they just look better, cooler. It gives more your eyes to look at. Now, since we have entire spectrum here, which colors can we choose? I think I want to splash yellow. Cadmium yellow. I think it's here. This or this. Or no, yellow and purple, purple, orange. I think this is in the call. I think I will go with imperial violet and cadmium yellow, especially on that and addition white. So nothing special. I'm clicking, especially water to crush. Put it in there. Maybe. It's out of the camera which is just over there. I'm mixing some yellow. Let's bring it here. Come Don't be shy. Here. You can see I'm mixing it up. So because of pigments will be there. I want, I want to see a lot to be visible about the other colors. And once we have nice and yellow brush, I usually do it with my finger or like this. Splash. I try usually not too Spanish all over the place. Like it makes sense to do it a little bit symmetrical or asymmetrical, sorry, not symmetrical, asymmetric also. Do it on this corner and this corner and you can do with the purple same, that of course you can go around. But I like to have a bit of a focus point and not all over the place and not definitely symmetrical. Because a symmetrical things look more interesting to our eyes. Since this part is cooler than this part called the colors here, I put more yellow here. And I think that's enough splashes. I don't want to do too much. I even like this painting as it is. I'm not covering the sides. I want the splashes to go out if possible. Here it did. And I'm gonna do the purple. This also I think out of here. Let's hear this imperial violet drop of water. Another truck. The truck. But as I say, I'm gonna do purple here. I want them to go out of the page. Then again, it looks interesting because there is a frame going on. But then this brush is going out of the frame. It's interesting. We are trying to get this interesting. Look at what makes you look at anything. That's what I was going say. The yellow splashes out here are still wet. The painting is dry. So we are doing splashes on a wet painting so it is not affecting the painting. This is an extra layer on top. This is level three as we were discussing. But yellow and violet here now might mix, and I'm okay with it. So it almost looks like black. But I'm okay with that. Since it looks so dark, I will count this as my third colors by white or black. Because it definitely works for that. Oh, it's okay. We can pick that up with the dry brush. Don't tell anyone. No one will notice. Okay. And maybe as an addition I will do a lighter color that will show more color. That could be. I will pick up these so they won't turn to page I think I will too. Yellow, purple, and maybe I will pick some orange, cadmium orange because COVID that. For some reason I feel like it's a better idea. There is the orange, come, be shy. I'll try not to mix it too much now that I want this light. Parts of yellow start trying here already, That's at the beginning when you put the oven, they're still wet. They are very visible and shiny, but then they kind of blend in so it's not. So how can I say destructive to your painting? You might feel like after you done a painting, you might be able to afraid to anything to mess it up, but I would say, be brave. Try. If it doesn't work, you can always create this painting again. Epitope orange, not too much. And I think this one is it for me, the close-up camera. Now, let's put this on the site. They will let it dry. This one. I'm putting the yellow back. We are in yellow. I think around here there was this maroon that I like that color very much. I will come around. Let's bring you too polite as well. I will use maroon to splash around. And this page, it's this color right in here. And I will do flight. Drop, drop, little drops first, drop. Andrew. I'm going to start with the maroon. Recall, this painting has kind of impact coming from this corner here. So I think I will keep this and I will do less splashes here and more splashes over here. Let's see. Here. I think that's enough of my rooms. I clean my brush and now king the page, natural page here. More over here. Page it's also, I think tongue in here also accept more like white as well, so it works like that. But I think I want to lighten this picture of it so I will add more. Especially sweet, right? When you have your brush loaded, the first strokes are usually very peak after that, if you want to do speckle of tiny drops. After a few ones, that it only drops small ones. And you need to hit it harder and harder to do that. So you can do this kind of speckles after that. This would be useful if you are making a starry sky or something, tiny, tiny dots. But once I know that once they dry, they will turn into see-through circles, this white and pages because they are not. So leave it as colors. Let's see. I'll just return now. I'm putting this site to try. And so visit one from the race, one from the, one from the stripes, one from grace. Now, let's do one from the tapes. I'm putting my colors back. I think for this one, this has been awhile. Which color was this? I think this was either rows or carmine. I will definitely use this as an accent. Maybe the other one could be this turquoise, turquoise, green. Maybe talk with you and let's use green and pink. Let's start with various day. I will go with this. I think it's called roles matter. You can totally pick other colors, by the way, like you can pick a color you that it's not in your painting. This is what I like to do, but I'm not telling you what to do. I'm telling you what I do. You can choose what you cannot do. It's up to you. I'm going to use this turquoise green. And after adding these, I will have a look and decide if I want to add white or black. Or even maybe just leave it as this, because it's already a very colorful painting. I'm starting with turquoise green tea. Now, let's try to do more. We first two leaves flushed alongside this diagram and I will try to do different style. Okay? Now rose matter that I made it heavier on this side of the writing of the painting. And maybe later, if I add writing or something, I can try to place it here. So to balance it out. This one I think I like it as it is. I don't think it needs a white or black splashes. I'm putting this SI to try. Normally. Don't worry that much about creating my desk, but since I keep bringing new, new paintings on one at a time, I don't want them to messed up. I'm quickly trying them. And one of my favorites, this was painted before the class in research. Let's splash around with this one or this one. Let's do a bit of blue and yellow. Let's put this back. What could be? Maybe this horizon bleeds quite bright. And maybe let's do two shades of blue, cobalt blue, and bring one from the warmer side, orange. Or what do you think? I'm thinking? I think I want something lighter. Yellow but lemon yellow. Three color already looks so good together. Author, author. You can see how much I use this color. Almost finishing. Drop, drop. Start with this. What was this horizon below? With this one, I will try to keep this precious centered in the center. Centered incentive. I will try to keep it central. A few around, but it will be heavier on the central. Let's see what happens. Now. Cobalt blue. I want them to go out of the frame as well. A bit interesting splashes and a bit of yellow. And maybe yellow. I will try to put more to the parameters, so centered more blue splashes. Once again, this is optional. It's up to you if you're going to do this or not. But I highly recommend it. This is bad. Let's go. This is high. To try. One more. I'm going to splash on this one I want to keep this one is quite soft and warm painting. Because of the color palette I use, I think I want to hold on to that. I will use this burnt sienna. Burnt sienna and this yellow ocher. I want to keep this. And I also have this gold diamonds to try how it's going to be this blush gold. Drop, drop. The way you put yours plush soul. So it makes a difference sometimes as I'm hitting this way, they tend to go in the direction I'm hitting. You can also try to change that by changing the way you hold your brush. Nice and mess. My table. Drug, club, different kinds of paint. It has very funny consistency that you can see the pigments inside. Let's see. It looks dark. But I want to see how it's going to be the effect once it's dry, it's gonna be shiny. It so we now splashed around. I will also put this aside to dry. I'm running out of surfaces to put them. 18. Level 3B: Simple Shapes: Now what? I think I want to add some white dots to this one as well. I liked it more with this one. I think because it's so hot in here the paint is trying real quickly. One more drop. I think this is enough. Another thing I want to add to this painting, in the level three, that I have a yellow actually ban and this painting is very yellowish. So I will, just for added texture, I'm going to work with the pattern I used and draw some lines on some of the darker triangles to add. Extra texture is quite thought is better. I'm gonna just leave it like that. Maybe this one. This way you have a much interesting looking abstract painting at the end of today. If you wanted to, you could even some of them. You could add a little frame to the triangle. This, I don't want to too much because I like it as it is already. Maybe one more, one more here. Okay. One more, one more. Last, one more here. Like when you see this painting on the wall, let's say like, oh, there's an interesting colors going on. You can close it. And when you come closer views, you'll see how the paint flow into each other, how the colors flow into each other. You see the splashes going around. You see that our golden suspicious that shine with delight. And then you see the drawings on them, the lines going on like it gives your eye a lot to look at. And that's what you want. And this is also ready to go on your wall. For this one, I think I will just add some small circles going around that, these paintings, when I supply some white on them. And then they are not so very ticked better if under variable tree, then they dry. They just leave a little circle around. I will show you like these ones. You see. And I like that effect actually with this painting. They look like so I liked that and I want to build on that. And I can do that by adding some circles of my arm. Every now and then. Not many. Small circles. Maybe it's smaller towards the source and getting bigger towards the source. Destination. Next, smaller here and picker over here. Yeah. Oh, coffee I haven't had today. Yes, please. Called one. Just authored myself some coffee. Some small mediums. Circle, bigger here. And I think that's it for this picture, this painting. I don't think it needs anything else. It's ready to go on your wall. Boom. We have these two left that we were working on them on level three. I think. With the pattern, this one is very suitable to add some, at some drawings following the pattern, e.g. maybe this one. I will try to divide it like this. And if you go over them one more time, it makes it whiter. Maybe another one. Here. I will just divide it into little rectangles. Over here. I'd said to call it sum triangles. Again, I didn't go over this dots here. I'm going back here. I think I like it when they go outside the perimeter of two pattern EBIT. I will make the COVID disappears home. Thank you darling. It's all to make your paintings if you stopped recording your son. I think. I'm okay with this one. As it is. It may be I will let some dots off course. In the meantime, my pain try guys, I'm telling you this is strictly not an easy job. I you see only the good bits, but in the meantime, stopped because my camera was full, I had to empty. That took me over an hour. And now I'm back for it happening instantaneously, but for me not so much. So I'm adding some white dots, especially by the dark colors. It looks very nice. But because it's acrylic or gouache is opaque, it's visible over the life course as well. Okay, I think it looks very nice now this one of my favorite paintings, you can wipe this off. And let's put this aside to dry as well. We have these guys left. I'm pretty pleased with these ones as they are. I don't think they need anything more that this here, Wireless drops. I did that it was so thick of paint. It almost looks like black, which I like here also. I can see in some parts when the turquoise was very take, it looks almost like black. But around here I can see that it's getting less dense and I can see the colors showing through which I like to changing from darker to lighter. I think. Let's have a look at this one. Or this is the last, this is my hero, my favorite Rainbow. For this one, what could we do? Since this is geometric shapes that it is very open to some drawings I feel like maybe let's use our pen. Let's say I will pick three medium-size box and I will enhance them with some drawings or maybe this, this and that. We can just make nice lines on them. I feel like it would work. Okay. I will go with some lines. Because this is sort of a child pen. It's not an acrylic pen. It's getting a bit faded, but sexually good because I don't want to be to go into spending too much. I like it as it is, but this adds a bit of a texture and I liked it. That's fine. You look from the distance, it doesn't disturb the total image, but when you look closely it's there. And I liked that. I will debit. Be able to draw straight as I can. Yeah, so tough drawing like this and I like the effect. It really adds to the geometric shapes going on. The White Stripes going on here and then going inside the paintings of it, I really like it and so forth. This one maybe, let's add some, I will add some water to this acrylic paint to make it a bit more running. And then I will do some splashes with darker paint. Still too thick. You can often do use a toothbrush to make really nice splashes, but I don't like making my hand there today already get dirty anyway. And then let's watch this. I went to a few extra dots myself. Okay, I think this is it. My brush. Setting this aside. And now the last one, my favorite one, the rainbow. What was I saying always, you can't go wrong with rainbow. This painting is a proof. This is, again, it's in my opinion data. You can just put it on your wall, but I think it can use some white dots, maybe some bigger ones. It is. I will try to keep it along this diagonal again. I'm trying to keep it as random as possible. Randomize a whole just one or two outside this diagonal as well. Let's head around it. Maybe tomorrow. It looks like the stars across the sky like my milky way. But this way I really like. 19. Level 2: The Cover-Up Part 1: Now, I don't think we need to add any drawing. So this one, we don't have to use every tool every single time. When I look at this, I feel like this one is done. And I'm still planning to put her writing on this one. So I think I will leave it here as this. We will also let this one dry and this will be it for the level three. Splashes. Dots and simple geometric shapes. Now we splashed around edit layers to our painting. Let's say this was level three. Our original painting was level one. This might be already enough, hop on the wall, but sometimes you might not like the level one. And in that case, I recommend a little bit of level to this level. We're talking about paintings, you might not like this happens. You try something, you put two colors together. You think it's going to work. And if it doesn't, you will to try different pattern with this one I already splashed at the time I liked the splashes and I think it improved. But I'm not very happy with the pattern. This one, it was a failure because I think splash too much and red and red and green doesn't workout. And this one, not so impactful to be too messy, too faded for my liking. And this one is actually okay. But I feel like it needs something. So what can we do? I think I will start with this one. I will get my tape. I have three ticking soft APS. Let's see if we can do something with that. And these stripes are going this way with a bit of an angle. So what I'm gonna do is that I'm going to put some tape and painted to the darker color. Then when we remove the tape, you remember from the tape project, it was showing on painted white on there. And we liked this effect is in this example. But in this one, instead of white showing through, it will be this painting showing through and this will give it another effect. Let's see. If I would like that one more, something like this. Then I will put one more with this summit with a similar gap. And then one level thicker. I'm going to put here and one on the other side. I'm not measuring them. I'm going by I I tried to leave this gap the same as the tape. And here as well. Then with the same gap, I'm putting the trickiest one. Then of course I have to. I have to, but I think I want to cover the edges. There are lots of tapes on this. Let's might leak under data. I'm hoping it will be fine. I'm going to place as much as I can. I want to use darker colors, definitely. So I'm thinking I will start with black and then this blue-gray deep, and then integral. Okay. Let's make a nice thick black because it needs to coverage under the layers underneath that's otherwise it's not going to work. This corner is black and I'm covering that as much as I can. And then I think in here I will put black still. We'll start mixing leads to create bio need to recreate spot there. So tick icon, I can't even tell them apart it spring. And continuing with with the darker colors you can pick from the dirt water as well because they're so dark you can tune. And here is the center. I will also covered with lucrative. But do I still haven't learned dynamics? I'm just treating them from here. I can see that it's going to show layer under rapid, but to still look definitely more interesting. And let's see. This part will be indigo. Indigo into coined go, I guess. Here I will mix them. Sorry to have some sense of a gradient. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Now indigo as usual, tap, tap, tap. And that's it. So we didn't, I didn't like these paintings and I added a bit of a level two in hope of saving, Let's see how that will turn out. Lots of peeling. This one. Let's peel. It went under the tape that I actually liked. This affects what's happening here. My tape mountain is growing with every painting. From the painting we came to. This is a very different feeling. I like this black corners here. It frames that were around later. If I add writing here in the middle, it will also cover more of the original painting and change the composition. And I like how it broke now there's more contrast to the painting. And of course I'm not going to leave it here. I added a bit of level two, like we discussed. I will add the level three, some splashes. When I look at it first, I was thinking it didn't do as well in vivo in covering the previous painting. But actually I like this more because it still shows the origin painting if it's true, but not that much. I think I like it more than the black and the blue gray. I will go with some black splashes. And some I will use maybe this horizon blue again. Let's call it ultramarine, ultramarine pale. It's from the original painting. I want to carry something from the first layers to the top. It already has much different feeling to painting because when I was looking first with this gray, green, and blue lines, the case that it was missing a bit of contrast, something to look at. But now the lines are happening that are these dots than my eye goes to the watermarks that's left from the original painting here, here that I'm looking at, my eyes goes around and it means it's more interesting now than it was before. And I think I want to add some white as well to this one, right? Splashes. Oh, maybe let's do something different because I actually, it's already dried and I'm going to show this later. But I use the gold one. On this one. I really like how it looks. I think I will try this silver. These paintings with this, I don't know, sparkly things inside. They are shiny once they are dry. And when you add them, they have very different consistency. When I move my brush over it, I can see the pigments moving inside. Especially with the silver, especially on the part that is dark. So it will be more reasonable. I made it heavier on this side, this time to make it a bit a symmetrical. And now already quite a few dots in here, they even start mixing. I think this is enough. So now I will let this dry. Now, let's do another painting quickly, quickly. Let's say we will work on this one. This is the, I made this painting. But I was sitting at a cafe here in Warsaw and I tried to replicate what I did. This original race I created. But I changed the thickness of the race a bit and decided to go one after another and let the colors mix. As a result. My idea was I will let the paint all mixed in the middle. So they will all look like coming from one source. As a result, it gets too muddy and to fade it to my liking. And that's why now I want to add another layer and see if I can help it somehow. I will mask the edges again. Maybe for this painting, I'm not going to do two types. You've seen that example already. I will try to make a much darker edges to this painting so that it will focus to painting to the center. And I will try to bring another color coming out from here, maybe pink. And for that I think I will use, I will start with black around the edges. I will paint black, and then I will add a layer of glue create deep. And then maybe Indigo. And I will also make sense flashes between them to give some texture. And I will try to, from darker to lighter. I will bring it to the center and I will try to make it as with as much gradient as possible. Let's see how that will go. Okay. I'm trying to be quick. So I'm in the car. I'm trying to keep these edges wet as well. In the meantime, I will try to allow this painting more limited by adding some more water. This one run it because it's a very thick paint that it's opaque. When I splashed around. It makes it a nice effect onto dark colors. So while it's wet, I'm making some wet-on-wet action here. Can you see how it's spreading? So I'm adding some textures this way of this lilac guys go. Okay. Now, I will use this ink in the middle. Make it nice and thick, and now I will try to make them. I will also have some lilac around it. That my because of so much water, my paper got band-aids. That's why you can see it's now pulling here. I will try to help protect. But I like how the pink took the center here. I like that a bit of pink. Here. Let's get mixed up black. And here, the dry brush, I will try to take some of this pink anyway. So now we have a very interesting thing going on that this black starting to dry, but because of the blue I dropped that is black is breaking apart and the first painting is still showing through. Even though we have, we have very dark corners. I think I will help with those. I want the corners to be black, black. Here. I will add some black still still wet around here as well. I'm trying to get rid of this pulling from here. And I like how it's going so far. I think I want to add a bit more pink to the middle because I didn't like how this center was too much with all the colors mix. Now it looks like it's coming from a pink center and I like that. I'm going to be tougher, wet brush I'm mixing that just talks outside. Maybe some while it's still wet, some starting to dry now. So I will do some splashes on the edges. As it's still wet, but not as wet. It won't mixed up that much in summaries, so it will look differently. Maybe some blue as well. There's my test. Drugs. 20. Level 2 Part 2: More pink. Here. I want this to stay pink much. Now. I want to add some black over here. Okay. So from that painting that I wasn't happy with, it was to what was it to fade. It lacked contrast. I decided to add a dark reframe to it to bring the focus to the center. And I added more pink. And I tried to make a gradient going from this black to blue to pink. And still my original painting is showing through there are some race going on. So we end up with a spacer looking painting and we can work with that still. This was level two. I added some splashes, wet-on-wet and later I can at once it's dry, some more splashes so those pressures will not get mixed up like these ones and create a texture, but they will stay as visible dots. And that will create an effect that those dots are in the foreground in focus, yes. And these these ones are at the background, blurred. So again, it will give more for our eyes to look at. What am I doing. My brush wasn't clean. Now we will let this one dry and after that, we are done with heading level 2's. We will add a level three on this one and have a look at the other ones. We add level three splashes and we will maybe have a look if it needs, we will add some maybe white dots with acrylic paint or draw simple geometric shapes. This painting has now dried. Lead. I have such a mess here. I tidy it up so nicely before making the class for you guys. Now, let's peel off this painting. I actually really like the effect is made on my table. I might The experiment with this later on the paper, let's put some paint, could tape over it and then pillars, it looks really cool. Used paper ones to paint second or third time around the paper gets a bit more fragile. Now let's take this paint gently. There's some mishap happened here. But you know how I feel about that. I don't mind or care. Okay. Back to the painting. Now, you remember how this painting was. It was like this race, but it was a bit faded and there was not enough contrast. But I do, I add a black frame around it with a bit of gradient and edit pink in the middle and let this pink bleed outside. And I splashed around to create these textures into black. So it looks more interesting. And in the middle, you can still see the original painting that you can see the rays coming out this way. We ended up with much more interesting looking painting. I'm actually very pleased with it. Now. Level one, original painting, level two, additional layers to change the composition. And we did that now, epitope level three. So for that, I want to bring these colors out a bit onto the dark layer we just edit. And those could be, I think I will do some splash, some of the spacious state, they will join them. So I will, especially around the bit level three. Let's start with pink. That now my goal is to bring this middle part of it outside as well. I touched it. In fact, to pick that up, I touch my brush. I carried this pink outside of it. Let's do one with yellow. Some yellow happening here. Maybe I'll keep yellow to decide on me. And I will add lilac to this side, additional colors. And here that are blue. So I will special day blue, like blink the color from the original painting, from the base layer. I will bring it outside a bit with these clashes. Maybe some here as well. For contrast. Already looking great, very space looking like, but I want to add something extra to this one. This is the other part of level three. I was saying splashes and also with acrylic paint, some white dots or simple, simple dots and drawings. So let's try with it. What you can do is any kind of acrylic gouache, opaque, white. We'll do a little bit of that. And you can use the back of your brush for that exam. Like this. And boop. Boop. Ever look valued thing is needed. Some extra contrast and the more paint you have to, because the dot phobia and then it will get smaller and smaller. Of course you can flesh this as well, but this way it's more controlled and you can decide where it's going to be. If this is too thick like this, you can maybe an underbrush will have a point here and e.g. this one is much smaller. So let's try this one or smaller. Yeah, this one makes much smaller dots. You can display to starry skies for your paintings. Make here one of those installations. I think it was a big bear, small batch to sound like that in touch. I do like the contrast to write cot spring. I'm try to paint over this. Mistake. Leaked. Black paint. You can see it's already gone. Okay. Cleaning my brush, especially with acrylic, you have to wash your brush. Unlike watercolors. If it dries, it will ruin your brush. Now, what else could we add to this space? Rainbow ray image, whatever it is, I don't know if it's a supernova or something. I made a bit of a mess here. I think I touched with my hand. You can also use this kind of pens. This is a four-bar Castile Pitt Artist Pen. It says, right? Simple shapes like triangles. So I do, I draw triangles but you don't have to. You can use this to, like I said, make your painting more interesting. There is more to look at at the end. Or if there is a mishap, you can also try to hide that. I like it. That's on the lighter colors. It's not so visible, it's more visible on the black. So some of them, I'm doing them. Insights for some of them not. I love to do more. Okay. You can see your Be careful with your hands being cleaned because I made I left some fingerprints here, but it's like I showed you can cover the parts that bothers you with white paint. So I will put this aside to dry. I will maybe show you a close-up here quickly. I'm very pleased with this one, how it turned out. Going backwards. One of those we edit, glow to the silver, worked really well on this that I will try to show you. This color shining. You can meet this pan again. We can add some links that this kind of drawings, you can make it work with your painting, e.g. I. Will show you an example. Let me come to more. At the moment. It's coming from the edge. You can make it to work the way that it will, e.g. go under one of the patterns and come out from the other end. So it will again give another layer to your painting that it will look more interesting. I will show you an example of that. Now, e.g. this shape is approaching this black band here. And I won't go over the plaque that it looks like it's going under and then I will make it exits from this end. We can do that with splashes as well. Like make it. There's a splash here. I drew, didn't draw over it. So it looks like splashy standing in front of the drawing. So as you can see, this pattern is coming here and then going on. This is very simple drawing is basically just doodling. And if you feel confident, you can also make a similar addition to your painting. So far a bit of a symmetry. I will draw a bit here. I will make it start from this edge here and go on to this one. And then I will make it color. The next. We can make them grow bigger. The triangles cos, smaller, disclose to give the effect like. The pattern, the drawing you are making is coming closer to the camera and then going away from the camera. And then I will make it go around and go onto this one I can, and I think that should be now this painting. So you can do this as much as you want and this will give it much, much different feeling to your painting. So as you can see from where we were, this simple stripes to very interesting looking abstract piece. I think this is just ready to go on your wall. I actually quite like this one. So now we have these two saved paintings that I wasn't happy with them. And now they're totally something else. You can do the same. Then there will be even a level four, but that will be in the next lesson, dryer paintings. And I will see you in the second part of the levels, the next level, level 123, and then there'll be low for the low 40s. And the second part this was the first part of the levels. Level one, level two, level one was the original. They will too is if you don't like it, they will trees. When we do specialists and drawings. And this was the part one and part two of the next level is the level for not convinced me. Jack, I confused. You are always confused. I get that. I don't know how long I can continue. No, no, I didn't say anything. We can do almost there. 21. Level 4: Typography Part 1: Welcome back. So with these three levels, are paintings are done. Gorgeous. Level one, our original painting level to cover the first project with another layer that is optional in case you don't like the first one. Level three, we splash colorful dots all over our paintings and edit. Geometric shapes are simple drawings. Highly recommend it. They can go on your wall. Seriously, you don't need anything else. I'm not joking. I'm serious. But that's a very suspenseful. But, but, but if you want to add another dimension to this gorgeously beautiful, simple yet elegant, abstract color bumps. You could use your words. Yes, we can turn our paintings into a motivational poster or a greeting card by adding some phrase on them. This is all typographic class. There will be one in the future. So if you are watching this in the future, check out my profile I might have already published on, but I'm going to show you how we can add some slogans or codes to your paintings using some simple forms. Let's have a look at few fonts. You don't need more than three fonts usually combine big, chunky, boxy fonts with elegant looking handwriting fonts. For contrast, I edit the page in the resources section, read some of my fonts, feel free to copy them. There's also a page with some elements, slogans and coats. Feel free to use them to use Photoshop or any other photo editing software, right? Anything you want and then copy that to your paper. So let's add some words to our paintings. I will just put It's a bit of tape to keep the same place. We did everything. We have beautiful paintings that they are ready to call on the wall. This is one of them. But if you want to add one more layer, if you want to take this painting up a notch and purpose them different, purpose it differently. You could add some writings on them. And the right thing I'm thinking of for this painting is probably using a lot on the Internet. But first coffee, something, you can have it on your desk at work in your kitchen area. I will do that. I worked on it a bit earlier. I always on the side. Try to sketch what I'm going to write, how I'm going to write. And I will go with this. But first, coffee writing, I'm going to combine coffee. I will make the coffee beak, I think somewhere here. And it will be become blockades and most visible. Because that's where I want to emphasize to be. But first, I will do it with handwriting. So it, there'll be a nice contrast between the big blocky font and the first part with handwritten font. So I'm going to, this is the middle. Let's start above the middle. On the top of your paintings, you can use your pencil and then later gently you can erase it. This is where I want to be. Again, I'm not doing this with the care that I'm just looking and deciding Pi this is where my coffee right, is going to be. On top of it I will write, but first coffee, I have three letters. Cap, first five letters. So I have like eight letters here. I guess. I want them to be smaller than the coffee right in here. Let's see. I will sketch it out. Have a look at the placement of the letters. Okay. I want to achieve something like this. I already planned it. Just this should be a bit more centered to the Cauchy. So let's start and I want this to be a bit like this size. But I didn't reach the center yet. But I knew I wanted to start from center and I have space. But first, here in this part, coffee has six letters. I think they need to be able to click Return that will come out here and here. I want the letters to go overlap each other a bit. So I'm I need to make them bigger and fatter. Let's say coffee. This is the third. So like somewhere in the middle, it's good. This is the f is going to be, I will make this stand out on top of death. Then the remaining spaces for two last item it worked out. So now we can move on to drawing with a pen. Let's get this second camera action here. A bit. Come on, guys, I need some space. I know it doesn't look like much at the moment, but if you know how to write, how was it called this? Like handwriting? Cursive with the pen. I know it doesn't look so special, but you can find, I was showing more about this in my first sketch journaling class. All you need to do is to make the downstrokes thicker. So e.g. but going up and then down this so this is the downstroke. So all you need to do is to make the downstroke thicker. So look to be going up, downstroke going up thin and downstroke is now going up ten, going down thick. I think I will make this one even thicker here. Then when you feel inside this, which I will just do it to show you now later, I will do this with paint and brush, I think, but then suddenly transforms into something beautiful. Another downstroke. So it's all about that. It's all about making the downstrokes take. An upstroke thing. But up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up and down. Let's make e, e stata even bigger. That's how we wrote. But first, it looks much better now, doesn't it really didn't do much. We just add additional line next to the downstrokes and it totally transforms writing and I love this effect. Now we will write coffee from Casey pancake. That's funky, wonky, bit wonky. But it's okay. Let's see. I will try to keep this about the oh, let's see if it's going to work towards finishing the letter. I'm trying to give it a little bit of a widening so it makes the form look not so rigid but more fun. Just a little bit. Lightening. Let's try to keep this circle as well. On the top. This way we wrote. But first, coffee wasn't that difficult, was it? Oh, I left a line here. And I didn't do anything special in here. I didn't align them so much. But anyway, what I can do can make this one go down. So it sticks out a bit. I can see the separation of two letters and they are going to paint it inside this black anyway. Now I can gently get rid of the pencil marks. This one is touch ten out of ten. This one, this is number eight. This is number ten. I will use, use it for painting. The first, about first letters. And if it gets out, if it gets a little bit messy, Don't worry about it. It's all part of the process. I'm trying to do it carefully, but I might mess it up as well. And I don't worry too much about doing these lead drinks with black makes sense because it covers whatever underneath beautifully and it stands out and this what we want. But if you want to do other colors, that's also fine. That just to try to make it visible. Or maybe you will do in a way that it will be barely visible and maybe that's the result you want. And this also fine. But first, I'm actually thinking, what if I make the bottom parts black and then make it fade to the top, what would that work? If it doesn't work, you can always cover it up with more black. So what I will do, I will watch this crash. So I totally clean hand when I put the bottom layers. I will use this one too. So I will paint the letters healthy. Then with this one. So it will still show the background a bit once it's dry, but it won't be completely painted. Let's see how this whole workout. I'm keeping clean. I will try to leave a tiny gap between them. So it will show the letters start and end. And go towards that idea. I wanted to keep this here. Okay, Let's try this one. I'm not bothered. I'm telling complex from the bottom and a little bit up, but not all the way. So it has kind of a gradient going on. Let's see how it will turn out. I'm very curious. Now again, I'm a fan. I will try to leave the tiniest gap between or an F. I can see this. In the meantime, see really traveled up. I will try to tidy that up. Have it. As long as your paint is wet, you can pick up it can pick up some of that paint and fix your mistakes. Now, the second letter is not touching any merit. So it's nice and easy. I didn't have to wash that. Okay. Okay. 22. Level 4 Part 2: It was a bit too much black guy is, as you can see with that drying my brush, I'm trying to pick up some of that and look, see still trembling, updated a bit. Okay. Almost there. Maybe this two I can do at same time. So you can see this extra butter mistake I made for you just covered. No one will know. If you happen to lose these gaps between them later, you can always the white line to highlight them quickly. I'm going to add some water. So much guys, not too much. Okay. How it looks. What do you think? I think I'm going to finish with? I'm sorry, but I have to do this like grace with so much plaque. More water. Yeah. I think that's done. Now let's let it dry. Next writing we're going to add is going to be on this painting. My favorite Rainbow. Let's fix it in place so it's not going to run away. Okay. So for this one, I was thinking of, let me get a sip of my coffee. Thank you. Cheers. I was thinking, I'm going to write this good wipes on this painting. When I look at it, it gives me such a good feeling. And I always like this saying good wipes on me. And I want to do something very simple, very simple font and nothing fancy, nothing playful. I wanted to be as straightforward as possible. Good wipes on me. So let's sketch it out quickly. So let's see, I want to occupy this middle area, 1 234-512-3455 lines per word. I think that's better. Good. Vibes, only four letters, five letters, four letters. But when you are lettering. E doesn't really take as much space as wonderful letters like 0 or a. You can think they are pretty much same. Accordingly. I'm going to use the space accordingly. This is the amount of space. The word IS. I used to when I started out drawing and doing writings next to them. There's an example here. This is from 2016. I used to use this elongated shape a lot. It was nothing really special, but it looked distinctive and different. And I'm using a similar lettering now. Go to the answers could have been even narrower. Now it's too much space for S. Okay? So this is, this happens. I like how it was turning out. So I'm going to make it a bit narrower than it was. The line was here. I'm going to bring it here. This line, I will bring it here. Okay. Guys, this happens. It's okay. We tried that and it allowed me to see, this is not what I want. I want narrower, narrower lines. So this is still the middle. I think somewhere here. I want a nice narrow letters. Come on guys. I need space. And S is always the most difficult letter for me. Too much curse. Too many curves. Good wives only. Lease. Here's Good-bye. Good Wives on me. Let's bring some second camera action here, because now too magical happen. This one, I think I want to just straightaway to with the brush pen. Combo, combo, tumble, Tombow, Tombow, tumble, tumble. I think it's Tombow. Tambo ABT. It has two ends like this. Like this. And I will straightaway to do it with the brush pen. I thought I would show you this because this might be easier for you as well. Cool. I like this simple letters parts. I'm going to do them with a bit of addition, upgrade, let's say. And this adds a lot too. For this project, I'm going to use a nice simple font, but it looks interesting. You can leave the letters like this as well with empty inside. That also looks cool, but I want this to be more visible. You can see it's very easy to covered black brush pens. And you can try different color brush pens as well and see what works best. I like because all of my paintings are very colorful. I like this black contrast on top. This was first done. And like I said, S is a bit tricky. We were just drawing a line and making these letters look where special with S. This middle part needs to go take. So I purposefully through this curve, didn't reach as much as this curve, hence, and left some space for the second one. Now, again, only. This would be a great piece to put. If you're still work in the Office, of course. To put on your office desk to give a message to cover Chris, not to bother you with trivial ****. Come to you with good wipes on me. Now, let's color insight and another one that'll be done. I actually, after painting all this, after spending all this time with paint and water and mixing them, I have to say I enjoy the simplicity of the brush pen. Good wipes only. So this is it for good wipes. Omni. It's ready to go on. You're all. Okay. Our last painting that I'm going to add writing on, is this another favorite of mine? I think they're all my favorite. Like my babies. My last one I decided to do was you got this. I like how empowering this. And I taught a few different ways I can go with this. But I think I want to emphasize, you hear like I want you to be very visible and got this underneath. So smaller rather than this. So I think I would call it that. And show you a different font options. Again, let's get our pencil. I want. Let's say the whole thing is going to be some ash here. I want this big part to be you. Why? Oh, you seriously? Hey, I'm recording here. There's a fly. There's a very loud fly. Could go to the next room, please. Oh, I didn't think that would work. I just opened the window and left. That was a very peaceful transaction. Okay. Back to our painting. I'm writing a very simple looking to place letters nicely. You. And at the bottom, I'm going to write, I want them to be close this, you've got this. So I'm going to do to start here. Because again, it will be simple letters. I'm going to use you. Okay? What I want to do with this one is, again, I will use the brush pen. We'll make this simple looking letters. You want to make this very simple looking font stand out. It's very simple tricks. You. Very simple. But if you add a second layer, second line. So this starts looking much more interesting. But this is not all are sharing. I don't know how it's called. And we have a very classic looking font. Venue. Look at the palms. It says set of sheriff. Sans-serif. Serif is these little things at the end of the letters. And sans serif, sans means without. San-serif fonts means more modern-looking font so that they don't have this. Like e.g. like this. This is san-serif. It doesn't have said if you added serif font and made it look much more interesting and Classic. And then to make it even more interesting, you can just not colored it in completely. You could call it it, it with black, different colors as well. Or just like this. You can see we didn't do anything special. And the letters in here, Let's come out. I'd also nothing special. Cursive, but I want to show you this. You call it t needs to be pushed debit, so I will just call it here. 23. Level 4B: Simple Drawings (Part 3): This simple looking font, I want to keep a similar feelings and I will hit these extra lines to make it stand out even more. I want to, I want to paint inside. We've got this part with a different color, not just black, but maybe violet. So I thought I could also show you this. So this Soufan option, you can use different colors too. Hello, your letters. It all depends what you want. If you want it to be more visible or kind of blend with the painting and don't show much. This one, e.g. two, I taught, the others were very dominant. I taught this one blend. This one would plant more with painting. And there is purple going on in this painting. I want to bring that to the writing as well. And keep the writing very light. And as always, pick some violet and splash it to finish it up. And this was the last one. You got this. You got this, I believe in you. So now our posters already. Of course, you can choose anything and any colors. If I said before, there are 1 million ways to approach a painting. I think there are infinite ways to write something. It can be a famous code or something you say. It can be an insider joke between you and your friend or your baby's first word. It can be even something your presence set like yes, we can, or coffee. The options are endless. There is more. Now we're on level four, heading typography to your paintings. And addition to level four could be adding simple drawings to your posters. Nothing fancy, don't worry, I have a list of icons in the resource section. Feel free to copy them on your appendix. But if you want to explore the drawing side, you can do so with my class. Everyone can draw. In my opinion, blind contour drawings look great on some watercolor splashes. So definitely give that a go. Okay, so now we are going to add some simple drawing star paintings. I can almost hear you say like what e.g. you wrote. But first coffee on your painting. And you are going to put this in your kitchen where everyone can see related to this writing. You can add little coffee cups floating around in your painting. Some bigger, some smaller, floating in space. Not a bad idea. Now we are at the end, the writings to these three paintings and we have our posters. They're already, they can go on your own. Look on the wall. They're ready. Truly. You can just put them on your wall. There's nothing else you can do. But if you want to add a little, something extra, little something more to your paintings with try things. These posters you made. We have three dominant, you could add a little icons on them. And so let's e.g. start with this first coffee. So since our topic here is coffee, I need some space. You code. Like I was saying, at some coffee related icons like a coffee mug. And a coffee mug is very easy to make. You can check out the icons list in the resources section and just copy any of that because they are very simple drawings. Icons. You can just have a look and copy e.g. coffee cup here. And I will be twisting the page so because I want them, I don't want them to be all even but still more floating in space. Another one here. And small one floating here in space. Another one, another one. Maybe there is one. You can also draw a very simple coffee beans. Coffee beans is a very simple shape. It's like seat with two sides. Little bit cliche. You can also make coffee beans like this. One. Here. Coffee Bean here. Let's put some heat as well. Just under this divine light coming from the sky. Coffee bean. Small one here, maybe in shape. Mark on it. There's coffee bean. So that's what I meant by adding some simple icons to your drawings. And I think this one is done. I'm not gonna do anything more. I promise this can go onto the next one. Let's see what we can do for this. You got this, This one I like how encouraging disease you've got this and this exclamation mark, maybe we can use exclamation mark for this one as little icons. Some big, some small. I'm not adding colors to this. You can, if you want to, but I'm trying to do with the pan on Nick. I don't want to over-complicate things for you. Everyone else done the equal sign, traffic sign with the exclamation mark. Kiana, doing anything too complicated sensing extreme. Q exclamation marks. You've got this. And because it says you need to emphasize you so much, I want to. And then arrow here. Maybe one over here. You got this you've got this exclamation mark, somewhat thicker. Here. You see all these dots to how, how amazing it looks, the contrast it brings, and there's so much your eye to look at. Let's do one more arrow here. I like how this looks like, sky out of the window. So for this, we use arrows and exclamation marks to highlight you. And this is also ready. I'm not gonna do anything else. This can go on your wall, up on the wall. The last one is this one. For this one I'm going to use the brush pen again for this one. I, like I said, I did the month to use drawings in this one. I wanted to keep this one a bit more simple and better times to own that. Just maybe we can do something about this. Wives good wipes on this. Hope. Like I want to emphasize this a bit. So I will do. I think coming out of this, as you can see, I left a little unpainted, hard to hear. Good Wives. Only. I want this one to be simplistic. We don't have to use every tool in the toolbox every single time. Okay, So this is it. Let's have a look at what we got. At the end of the lessons. We ended up with these three good vibes only. But first, coffee. And you got this. And this is kind of the message for this lesson as well. You got this. Okay? And this was another optional trick, adding icons to emphasize your writing level for B, you're not getting confused with my levels. First level one and level three. Oh, but there's also a level three or level four, but level for his level for B. This is the map I painted for our original map project, the map of Italy, as part of my vision board to remind me what I wanted to go. I paint, they tell him up. And I was telling you that this is already good. I didn't like it took all my role, but this will be better, even better once we bring it to the next level. And that's very rare now. So what would I do to bring this to next level? I want to mark the place I want to go and put some notes and the little drawings of the places I've been to visit in those cities and areas. And maybe I will add a title here or just write in Italy. Normally I would do some level three on this sum and splash around, but I already did that with the first painting. And now some writings and Robbins, I'm bringing the level for actually for this debt in another painting of Italian, I actually highlighted the place I want to revisit that Milan, Rome, Nepali, this is Sardinia, Sicily. I will try to do the same in here. But using pen. Let's mark those places that I'll start. And make this writing a bit fancy. I am adding just an additional line next to it. Makes it look much more interesting. Milan. And now writing Rome was somewhere here. That despite way it doesn't have to be, again, super accurate. This is for you to remember is not for someone to find Rome on the map. It's an art project. See, if I put Rome here, nothing would happen. Don't worry too much about. And I think Napoleon was close. Now probably, I think in English It's not equals, but like the NameNode polymer. Again, I'm adding a little bit of an extra line on the left of every letter and they look much more interesting. That's also during the class. If you notice that I use similar font, it's called frogs favorite. Cecily. I hope I didn't make it. Islands. Here. I will add All right. Little bit of color to this. For these places I want to visit on them like I took examples, those two, of course there'll be more than two. But I will add little drawings and names of those places, e.g. from Milan. I took out an arrow like this from Milan and I went to visit their sum. That's the study of the football club AC Milan. So for that, I will make it a little drawing. Nothing fancy. This is AC, Milan's local. And another arrow from Milan. I want to visit dash. The car Di San Lorenzo. 24. Level 4 Part 4: You see, I'm very quickly, I think making one part side of the usually the left of the letters thicker, the extra line and it immediately looks better. Not like a usual handwriting. That is, I'm just doing it. Look very simple. Nothing fancy is happening here. Very simple drawing of the place I want to visit. And for rum, Let's take another arrow from here. I think it's with double. Now. Let's try to feed its color here quick. And also I want to visit in Rome at all. Again, very simple drawing for some of the line I go over them and this way it looks, it gives a bit more depth and looks more interesting. In the first glance that look, these are not straight lines that I'm not careful in any way, but it improves to overlook of the drawing. And then Nepali. In Nepali, I want to definitely try pizza, their original not poly-time pizza. For that, I will just make a very simple template says always burned inches and they're delicious. I will try to do that. Pizza and also visit another castle. Again, these are just examples to demonstrate to you what I meant by using a map as a vision board and like something, you will paint and put it on your wall to inspire you. I picked some places I would like to visit. Of course, I don't know. I wouldn't be able to visit all of these at once in one trip. And if I go to Nepali, I would probably do more than these. But these, this is, like I said, a demonstration for you. And also there might be more place to visit, but maybe these are the highlights and I'm focusing on for our Castle, I'm not going to even butter to do anything fancy. Vector. First thing comes to my mind, when I say Castle. I'm just going to draw that OH, across. And what's left is Sardinia. One arrow here. I would like to visit this city. This, I don't know how to pronounce really current reality. I don't know. I'm sorry. But this is how it's spelled at least. I'm sure. My Italian students won't be very happy with my pronunciation, I guess, but feel free to educate you on the discussion board or wherever you can find. You can send me a message. For this. I looked at the CTF curve very quickly. It's a quick drawing from the cityscape. And also again in Sardinia, I would like to visit the beach, making my letters. Fancy beach. And for that again, I'm just going to do some things representative of a beach. And Sicily Sicilia I would like to visit. This one is a bit bigger, so I will do to try and first Mount Etna. The title right? Mount Etna. Very quickly, fancy firing my letters. And finally, hear me mean, Find the letters. Here is the quick representation of the ruins. This, I think I want to hear a bit of color here. Some more specialists find out. And this way, I took my map. Next level, it became much more interesting to look at, imagined that this is on your wall. And a friend of yours comes and immediately there is something to look at this. And there are so many conversations start to see here. All Milan, I've been to Milan. Oh, you should definitely see it. Our castle like this just looks interesting and you can do the same as you can see. I didn't do anything extra. That it was very easy drawing the map I showed you, it was a very easy painting, three colors here. And then all the drawings here, there is nothing special about them and there are no straight lines. There is nothing done with extra care, but I just loved the result and that's why I want to make this class and share it with you. Because you can all do this and put it on your wall and decorate your rooms and give it to a friend is present. This could be how you invite your partners to epic trip. Yeah, so that's all for taking our maps to the next level. Now, in explaining hours, I don't know how many hours this class is going to be there. You still editing. Now in X many hours, you have learned million ways to paint. Isn't that something? I got my brush spec I forgot my brushes. I was pointing with this. I really hope that you will at least pick one project and painted and share with us, I would love to see what you will come up with. This is my drug series that I'm addicted. After this, I will go over everything in the conclusion video. And after that, and that perhaps or maybe a shower, maybe coffee and cake. Object. We have Kc. Let's see. See you in the conclusion media. Jackie, the conclusion really, true, true, true. 25. The Conclusion: Here we are again, another conclusion, retail, believe it or not, this is my Ford conclusion video. I know they're always a little difficult, sort of like saying goodbye to the thing I've been working on for months. So thank you very much for sticking with me until the end. I hope I managed to inspire you to move that brush a little more than before. That's all I want. This brush to brush. Brush. You won't see a magic trick. Look at the brush. It's soft. Leaving the stripes and maps and Spanish society. I want you to leave this class with one idea in your mind. I can paint and do it today and tomorrow and the day after that and keep it going. If you skip a day, come back to day after. Yes, you can paint because everyone can. The techniques, the strategies, they are just tools to get to our goals. But the most important thing is, I think I have forgotten the most important thing. But the most important thing is that you prove yourself that you can paint, be proud of what you created and with the hunger that creativity brings you, you keep on painting by herself or by taking other classes. Speaking of other classes, I have three of them. Check them out to keep the group going. And if you watch them in backwards order, I will get younger and younger, this one. So I'm going to summarize everything we went through and then I will leave you to it so you can admire your creation and then share them with me so I can admire them and then maybe leave a review. Maybe, definitely maybe they say that leaving a review is good for the soul. I don't know. You decide but decided to leave the review. Okay. But no pressure or anything. You don't have to. It's fine. Really. I only worked on this for months. Don't worry about, but do it anyway though. Maybe follow. Ok. So at the end I revealed that are paintings can be done in four levels. Level one, for the painting out of million ways, I showed you five stripes, raise patterns, masking, tape, and maps. So with all these ideas, I painted at least one v2 and showed you several different ways. I interpreted the same strategy and gave you the more ideas at the end. So you could try for yourself level to this optional level is in case we don't like our level one for whatever reason, so we can give it another go by covering parts of our first level with darker colors. Level three, the splashes and dots and maybe simple geometric shapes. On this level, we splash paint over our painting. This level is also optional but highly recommended. Use two of the main colors, plus white or black level for typography and simple drawings, we can add writings to our paintings and turn them into motivational posters or a card for someone, you can add simple drawings to accompany your writings. Remember the copywriting and the coffee cups. And that's it. We have a gorgeous little Colorbond that's ready to go on your wall, frame it or stick it with the washi tape. Be proud. The painting you create it today was never, ever created before. Ever. No one did the exact same painting with the exact same writing on it. Congratulations, you are an artist now because you create a dark coat elder world. If you did on Instagram, remember to tag me so I can join others in liking your painting and maybe I can share it on my page two on TikTok, I'm here and on YouTube I'm here. Please follow me so I can reach out to you when I publish a new class. Or I might be even asking for your opinion for the next class is definitely share your paintings with me and the others. Try to leave a review that really helps me out. It's not a must, but it kinda is no pressure, but thereto, That's it from me. I'm proud of you. Keep creating. Bye. Object. I'm dripping. I have enough. Okay. I have enough of this stupid thing. Who shoots a class in hoodie in June? Camera one is recording. My son is even recording. Everything is recording me right now. The hoodie. That was a stupid idea. I didn't think through. Thank you, Jack. I have a voltage here to put my feet in to kind of balance it out, hoping that I won't get so hot and sweaty. This is very stupid. Okay. Making your own colorful, beautiful, captivating abstract watercolor paintings which are pretty sharp image strip. This class, I want to give you a chance to try your hand at making your own making your own words. I think we have it. When is your birthday? But this ice water is helping each line not sweating that much. Focus. I should think of something funny to say here. Check, you've got anything. You guys throw a face here. It all takes place. I would go with the thickness off my brush for this. Okay. I believe I can say a sentence without making a mistake. Can I do that? Can we do that? One sentence of the stripes, the article, to forget the article. There's an article in Turkish, that's why Jack, where's my camera? Cameras here? I like holding the brush like this. Like it's powerful to talk like that. This and this. Like, I know what I'm talking about. It's like, I hope Russia, I have something to point. It gives power. Excuse me. I always have some two weeks. And then I check, what could it be? What's happening to my mom? Come on. We can do it. We can do it now. But I'm recommending you here is what am I recommending? And to box and the box, empty box and the box. Let's try abstract colorful bumps. Almost. If you want to get another night. And then I did it. I did it. I like it almost. Okay. One more take. How many minutes? Almost. What's happening? If you do it on Instagram, remember to tag me so I can join others in clapping you and not clapping your Instagram. You don't clap on Instagram. I sound like an old man clipping on Instagram, yeah. And that was that we understand each other. Delicious.
