1. Introduction to field of poppies: Hi friends. I'm, I'm a schedule straighter and watercolor is
on today's class. I wanted to share
how to paint field of poppies in watercolors. In this class, you will
learn how to beautifully create sky with a lot of clouds. And how to create different transition
from several types of blues and somewhere, or violet colors as well. On the bulb is field. I will explain you a little bit about the aerial perspective, how to create lights and the
cooler colors in the back. And to bring more
warmer colors and darker colors into the front to create this difference
in perspective. And part of this,
this whole class is based on working with two main techniques
into watercolors. Like it is a wet on
wet and wet on dry, wet on wet to ever work. The blue sky. And as well, they filled the background for
the field of poppies. Then with the wet
and dry technique, what I will show you how to work on the clouds and to create shadows in the clouds and to create this form
of volume as well. With a wet on dry. I will show you how to work on specific details already on
the poppies and how to bring, hold this work into
front of us and to create an interesting
field of poppies. So let's get started.
2. Supplies needed for the class: The supplies that I will
use for today's class on watercolor paper
that has 300 GSM. On this paper, I will paint
a beautiful puppies field. Then I will use my Skype liter, 36 pence watercolors, that
it is called white lines. Then I will use my poor little bins paint
brush number six as well. I will use my
fleets for watering the paper because we will leave work wet on wet and
wet on dry technique. For smaller details, I
will use the vein chipping brush synthetics number
four, I just voted. So this will be my first
time I will use it. We also need some plain water. We want to draw anything
previously to start because this work will
be super easy one, and it is more about
working with watercolors. But I will use this
kind of washi tape to represent where it is the horizontal line to
create a straight line. And we will meet some
tissues to create the sky and clouds as well because we
are working with wet on wet and wet
on dry technique, we will need a hair dryer. So these are the supplies that
we need for today's class.
3. Painting clouds how to create depth: I started with my
washi tape and I will present the
horizontal line. I decided to have it two-thirds. So I will split visually
more or less in three more. This here will be this
guy here up to the top. And here below will
be my field of both. So here we have the same, more or less. Just good. I'm avoiding this. I'm wetting the
paper really well. If you have watched
my previous videos, you've probably know
that this technique requires more water
specifically now in summertime when the
paper dries faster than usual during the other times, like springtime or autumn time. And I will take some blues
colors to represent the sky. I will use bright blue color. But I think right below, I just moved my bleed and I will have I will take all. So cobalt blue does important
that strike on the work. We take more and supply more color on the paper because if not the big
for once it dries, it becomes a little bit lighter. As far as you see? I yeah. I'm moving coordinate of one. Whenever it is
darker, the color. I'm taking as well, more blue, bright blue color, densify
wherever it is needed. And I take a tissue to
add some more colors, but lighter ones here. Because as further we go, the clouds are white and they
don't have a specific form. Usually those are seemed
like light lines. So we have to see these
kinds of effects as well. Now what I do, I take a tissue, I'm getting some
white spaces here. My first layer was
blue, bright blue. Because I knew that to the clouds already
have some color. And I didn't want to have
only white paper on it. But now, because I already has been more or
less the clouds, I'm taking care of
my whitespaces. And I also will add some
violet colors on the clouds. And we'll differentiate the
different rows from the sky. And the boards that we have
on the paper. On this guy. Big clot. Now we take less water and I will add
even more blue right here. Once I click that, it is expected to take
some cobalt blue color. I will remove some
excess of water. And I add here. Now the paper is getting
dry and it is quite easier to work with this guy. I'm done. So now let's
work on the clouds. For the clouds, I will take my paintbrush number for
synthetics that lynching. And I will take some
ultramarine color with some ruby color to create
a beautiful violet color. Because the color is not
as intense on the Cloud. I will add more water. As far as you see, my
paper is drying fast. It can be that your paper is
not growing as fast as mine. So pay attention to it. And if you think that you need
to try it as fast as mine, it can take whenever
you want a hair dryer. And I add some shadows here because I already
had some book covers. This ultramarine color
has changed quite a bit. And I will take sampling what, to remove these, that the
transition to be smooth. The same. I will have
some violet colors here. Very beautiful colors. And to pay attention
that I'm taking more plain water to
remove the edges. If the paper would be wet, it will be quite easier. Because these edges wanted
beer or watercolors would run smoothly here
and reach here on the end. Here we have some more. Because my paint brushes, I will remove slightly the intensity of
the color of these. Because I wanted to
create your week. Here I have more white. So it does really important that we don't
damage the paper. We apply grain of water to it. It would take W2 with tissue, a kitchen towel, whatever
you feel comfortable. The more water to my mixture. To have slightly more
light that goodness. Here's how I will
remove the intensity. Then we have here
some cooler colors, so I will take more to
my mixture as well. It has to be light. And because of the
aerial perspective, we need to take care of moving clouds that are farther
from our price. So now I'll take my
share and dry this work. Hi, I'm Scott. Ready.
4. Field of poppies basics of aerial perspective: Now this guy is trying
to remove my washi tape. You can see that we have a straight line for
the horizontal. And start to work on
the four P's field. To create a beautiful,
purpose-built. We also will work with
wet-on-wet technique. And I'm going to go not to go out of
this horizontal line. I wet this side of the work. And I will have one color here, full color of the background. And the background will be
some with some warm colors, like call it green. But because here we have
a material perspective. I will take some cooler yellow, cadmium lemon to
have lighter color. And I will mix it
with green color. Here. I'm taking more olive green to make it
warmer here, darker as well. I'm adding some green colors. More. I come here in
front of our eyes. I'm making the background
darker, darker, warmer. I will also have some
beautiful green juice here. You won't use the color. I'm not afraid of
taking more color under this because now we
are working with once I have defined a big
color of the background, now, I'm more than happy
to get some purchase. I will use some really
bright red, cadmium red, or should we call it, I would take ruby
color first and then I will get more intensity
with cadmium red light. And I can add some. I'm taking my finger and with my paint
brush full of color. I create watching effect
in the background. Because the flowers are
further from our lines. We will see like small dots. We want see like clear
and defined flowers. And we need to create the feeling of lots of
office in the background. I will take all. So my
bigger paintbrush here, I already have scratching
effects with bigger dots, creating the effect of bigger
flowers in front of us. Here. Already. Color. I will use cadmium
red color for this part, for this side of the paper. Because cadmium red is
more opaque watercolors. And it will be clearly seen. Over here. Cadmium red is making the other colors that stayed
on the paper to run all over N2 that we have this
beautiful color on the paper. I'm taking my thin brush, removing some color, hitting
this beautiful touches. Apart from the flowers
and red boxes, we have some flowers. Now after finishing with my red and blue color retention that I'm doing it while
the paper is still wet. I will deal with a blue flowers. Because when the
paper will be tried, as adults want to go one trunk and it will
be like stripes, dots. I think that I will
take for this flower some cobalt blue colors. Do. The paper is tried
and it is quiet. More difficult to do
this for my quiz. I will try and quite difficult. So I'm going like this. What I will do, I will take my smaller paintbrush
and I will add white color in the balloon
to make it more or back. To represent some lighter color. You see how cool it looks now. This blue color
becomes opaque color. With this white. Greed is when the paper is dry it, you see that with the
synthetic speech is clearly much better
to work with. I draw here. Okay? So now it is a moment that I want to draw my work with
the hair dryer. The paper has dried
and it became like what we were
saying previously. What I will do now, I will take some red
colored and white color to create some shadows
wherever it is needed. Flowers, I will do the same. I will add some
more blue flowers. Now, I will create some shadows. For this, I will use some
colors like C or better. I will use some Ruby. Ruby and say, I will take here the darker part. I will need to make
it even cooler. So I will take some
Payne's gray color.
5. Last details how to bring first plan to the viewer: Hence for blue flowers, I will take some brains,
sorry, Things critical. Now, I will need to
create some stems. And I will take some
different green colors. First, I will take some of this green color to create. Here some vibes of greenery. Took some white. We already applied some
olive green color here. But now take a moment to intensify more
with green colors. So it's not on the line, but also some darker ones. That I will take
some rules like ink, color for the shadows. I will take some sick. Yeah. We have some promise. Very important that this
wise for the greenery, you have to make with
synthetic scheme version. The synthetics paintbrush is harder and these
lines are stronger. When we are working
with the literal here, paintbrush, then the lines
will be smooth leader. For this reason, I do not advise to work
with neutral here, but if you don't
have anything else. The only thing we can do is
just to remove very well the access of the color of the water and take more
color, wonderful English. And then the effect
will be clearly seen. Because here we see
it in the front. We have to make these
flowers even brighter. Now. Meanwhile, it is
still all ready to try it. I will take some cadmium red
color and dwelt intensify. Make it brighter. Specifically on the
flowers that we have here. Your flowers here in front
happened to be really bright. Notice mine. Then you
don't have to do it. But to watch what you
have to add to your work. Sometimes the work
can be slightly different and it is important that you see what you
have to change your work. It can be slightly
different to mine. For the room. Lost my kids to sign. I take some Payne's gray, I remove the excess of
water that they sound.
