Gouache Christmas Holiday Postcards: Gouache Metallics for the added Bling!!

1. Introduction: The holiday season is finally here. And it is the most amazing time of the year because it is Christmas, which means it is time to decorate, celebrate, and embrace all things, merry and bright. And of course, the main thing is being each others Santa and sending heartwarming postcards to your dear ones. I'm very excited for this class as Christmas is here. And these postcards will reflect the vibes throughout the class. I hope you'll find time. to send these postcards to your loved ones. Hello friends. My name is Mayuri and I am an artist based in India. And welcome to my class on Gouache, Christmas Holiday postcards and metallics for the added bling. This is an intermediate level class. So do not worry if you are a beginner as I will be guiding you at every point. Merry Christmas dear friends. And as Christmas is creating happy hours together, Let's get started. 2. Art Supplies: The supplies needed for the postcards are easily available and the most basic ones to get started with. So I have cut down my A3 size peoples into small postcard size, which is six into four inches. As senior in the home postcards. For the paper, I'm using Umbria 190 paper, which is 300 GSM and 100 percent are low-speed. You can use any watercolor paper that you have. A strong board taped by the masking tape at all the sides will give us stability while painting. The only important factor in Gosh, this time the people should look thick enough for the layering and blending to happen. And I will be using set off 16 gosh beans by White Nights there, where did it, which creamy and vibrate. These glial naught into paper very smoothly. I will be also using new sky and pilotitis, metallic gosh beams. You can also use any other market. This is a completely optional step. If you do not have even these, you can use GridFS. This university departments are also very helpful as the off week to work on. But for any other minor highlights, you can use white general event. Under brushes, I will be using my round size 8 brush. This one has long winded excitement be using silver black one, size two round brush for your backgrounds. I will be using this, for instance, heritage three-quarters like Rush. Besides for flat shader brush my data. Masking tape. I will be using half-inch masking tape. Your you can use any size on extinguished autopilot. However, we even need only few colors to be mixed up. A pencil and an eraser, a jar or container for Dobhoff feeding your brushes. How to learn. And also Gulf, which is optional. 3. Masking tape: So I will start the postcards by taping from all the sides. The masking Dave, that time using your is smaller in size, which enables small little border. If you're like having bigger borders, You asked you to do so. Or postcards without any borders will also be very attractive. But the only problem without the masking deep within that value will be mostly bleeding white. Art. You can also cut the edges of the host, cut after the beam. Hello and welcome. I like running mapping goes or word ID to ensure that they're just stuck well. 4. Project 1: Star at it in Bokeh: So our project one is guided date in bookie. Look our list item. We will need our lean deep red, lemon yellow, ochre, Titanium white, burnt sienna or burnt umber, and lamp black. 5. Sketch and background: So use a ruler to get started with the sketch. I'm marking around 11 centimeters, your 0.705 and 11 centimeters. Taking the five centimeters point as the Sangha, I'm drawing a line of eight centimeters by keeping four centimeters on each side. Now connect all of these points together. It will give it a semblance of a guide sheet. Now Mach point of saying goes for all of these lines. Balcony, these point of saying doors and make sure you are passing it through the center. Now from the biggest sections, I am drawing approximately five centimeters and dividing it into smaller sections. I'm dividing it into smaller sections roughly and not taking the exact house not connected or points to the smaller hubs. Synced up arts are not equal house I release and meet the required changes. I'm doing this out of love with my hands and not using the scale. Finally, drawing the line now passing through the center. Connect all the top end points. If you're getting confused, looking at so many points, connections, lines, says Don't worry and follow with me. You will understand it well if you're doing it along with me. As for your preference, you can always pause the video or reduce the speed of the video spread from the speech section. So since I feel this is not equally divided as well, I'm already using and making the changes. So it is all dark lines are the guidelines you can observe now, got more than bottom the status longer. Lines again, I'm erasing and redefining our dark lines. Let's make us well-designed. At the bottom you are. And we're finally done with the sketch. I use a new darkest green that you have here. I'm using green deep shade from White Nights here. If you do not have any darker green, mix any light green and blue to form the darker shade. Like mixing sap green and Prussian blue will give you the sheet and a blob. So Fred randomly in between the green. So since this is our background, it should be blurry and not ready well-defined. For this purpose, you will have to use your Gosh beans like water containers, which is a non-greedy mix, and not the usual creamy consistency. Our gliders holds as well carefully and fill in the species. Since the drying time, of course, beans is quicker than that of watercolors, I'm using two brushes and switching between red and green. This will enable a better blending between the two colors. Imagine the red Christmas ornaments based on a Christmas tree and random, and accordingly, please. Randomly use it on swirly motions to get the blending easy. Whenever you feel precious to dry up the outside. So I'll just start and be very, very careful with this one. Green and then fill the space, isn't I'm leaving some ECS for radio. So my brush more in the form of some ground to Gleevec. This effect to the background. Almost like wet-on-wet technique seen in watercolors. So as you can see the blog software and that is enough water on my brush to make this consistent. So now let's watch a bit of blending. Let's continue this in this last one part. Squash is water soluble. I'm using it as water colors for the background. Now switching back to my brush. So I really clean damp brush. This is required. Since I'm adding. This will take more time than usual to drive because of using the bokeh effect. Once this is dry. 6. The Bokeh effect: So I'm using diluted awarded a mix software. This is because not much afraid is going to be reflected in the book. Since effect is created by the Knights, it is mod of oranges, yellows, and rights. Values move up the so-called start at 1 and rho d2 operation 36 students. And that you have your perfect circle. Don't worry if you're not getting perfect circles. Says Gosh, is a forgiving medium. Anything that goes wrong can be corrected. You can be in circles like this with the blue circle. But you would have to wait for a longer period of time for the soft goods to dry. According to me, this is a waste of time. I don't have the patients either to pin so many circles with the group. Just new paintings. So ghost-like this with the flight brush is really therapeutic and satisfying as well. And it happened in no time. Next time, create circles with lemon yellow. It's okay if they're underneath the artists. Just have fun guys. You can see not all of my circles. But sometimes laws like this. You can own your mistakes with gosh. Are going wash my brush and take some lemon yellow on my brush. Making a small mixing until you get to like light. And also overlapping the previous ones with this sheet. I'm not using consistency because I want some off the underneath dawns to be visible. You can use consistency. Asked for consistency. Welcome. Consistency. Now, it looks like our clean sheet. The so-called comparatively few in number for the previous ones. And also overlapping. Express how satisfying this process. You should try and buy yourself. A lot of them. Didn't wash my brush now because you are done with double effect. 7. The Glowing Star: This side also need a born with white black directly. Since black pigment, make sure you're painting in this section itself. I'm being really careful to being, in fact, the section on Slack on the opposite side is red. Use any brush that you have for the staff. Also paint alternate section with black. On the opposite side. You can use bond, but I will be using burnt sienna instead because I have leftover black on my brush. So I prefer mixing on the palette because this gives another type of texture and effect. If you can observe the same two data off bond. Similarly now, on the opposite section. The next section with the same shooter. Pretty beat on the exact opposite side. Now paint in between the two black sections. I'm now using gold ocher with the same brush mix of burnt umber. You wouldn't get this ping desktop most half part of this start with the same shoot. I'm using the leftover. When that is reflection, that is moot light and the dark Ming reflected the dark shading whether the present, any dark objects which is in the close proximity. The light part will reflect the light data objects. So I'm washing my brush now and taking some weight. So I'd be placing the white onto the sections that I want to be lighter. Taking some gold ocher and mixing and directly with the white did not get confused with the shapes, as I have used, mainly folk or less, which is black and white and buoyancy and not to form the bond on bushy. I'm adding black for the D2 flexion. You can also use bond on Boyar. Instead. I'm digging and forming us move. Touching the different places to Moscow. He was born. He was infant goes to create a soft looking effect, rather than using a clean damp brush. Using bond on both create some shadows for this 11 thing. That is important when we use darker shading for reflection by the dark objects. I'm using my fingers to blend the colors. For the dark reflection shading, you can either use some black, are born Dumbo. Wash off your brush. Now, let's paint some highlights with the white brush that do have highlight only few off the outlines of the star. So since we did not paint the reflections by the light objects, use the same brush with leftover white beans and drag on to the start. At places where light will straight forest. If you do not have metallics, you are done, done your butt. If you do have metallic beans or sparkle beans or sparkled bends, you can go for the additional staff, wash your brush now and we are done with desktop. 8. Adding Metallics: If you have the dopants, you can outline the start and strike and make some shading a few places. But since I have, gosh, mcdonald's, I'm going to paint the whole of the star. Use any gold medallions for the lighter part of the start. So forced to hide use as Deck GUI. And now I'm using couple for the black part. Since these are Gosh metallics to underneath being, is being activated again, which is why the black is mixing with the corporeal. So to make sure that the metallic stand up when you need Inaki me antique consistency. That is the bond on board, Black. Use this copper metallic. And for the light though once as ten gold. Okay. I'm going to add here because I want I'm adding darker regions aspirin. So since our highlights are not ready when I'm using light to add the highlights. So just kind of highlight your light. Similar to the previous step, you will still leftover lights on the brush, dry brush. I'm adding more often now because it is very light in nature. Reshaped the outlines of desktop if you think it is needed. And do not forget to add links to this wall at the bottom. Now comes my favorite step. Us war Dot. Good consistency with just like Mark door watery and n2. And then this one step offs, not getting that beings everywhere. Everywhere. If you want to avoid them mess, you can use tissue or any other waste people and cover your table or near the belonging because even if you are doing it and knock on doors, manner, like how I have done using a single brush. It might still be a mess around. So this is the best and most economical way to use pins without wasting much by using the leftovers. And by leftovers, I mean, by that is still remaining onto the brush like the one on the pilot or the mixing dish can still reuse, but the excess paint on the brush is always washed off. So use each and every pigments to the fullest. Take off the masking tape, ready with me and act on. I am so happy that I have clean sharp borders. This is one of the nightmares and artists can have to not have a clean sharp model because of the masking tape. So we are done with that project and I hope you liked it. I found the bokeh effect process very therapeutic and satisfying the metallics. Oh my God, So, so damn pretty to look at. I'm sure the ones receiving this postcards from you will be the happiest and galactic the ISO. Thank you for joining. 9. Project 2: Hot chocolate with marshmallows?: Our second project is hot chocolate with marshmallows, and the colors are exactly similar to that of the previous project. Green, deep red, lemon yellow, gooey ago, titanium white, burnt sienna or burnt umber and lamp black. 10. Sketch: So let's start that project. My drawing a cup. Make any dominated gulf for the rim of the cup. Mixed light lines for the sides of the cup, and not in the form of straight lines. Similar to the rim of the cup, make an elongated goals for the base of the cup. For the handle of the cup make us see with the dog bark being broader and they bring downwards. So since I'm not happy with the size of my God, I am elongating the site by increasing the length. So a thing that I request is to wait for the sketch and abilities complete and then pause the video or habitual to complete this sketch. Because I would be making a lot of changes underlined completely satisfied. Okay, so now let's make a double outline for the rim of the cup. A double outline for the handlers. And as I've said, Wait, wait until I finally completed the sketch. So I want the edges off my mach to have rounded shape and not in the form of straight lines. So let's get this done. Maybe I'm okay with this much thickness of the cup handle. So I will finalize this as well. Now to the most amazing part, we have marshmallows in our hot chocolate monk. So I'm sketching these randomly in form of cubes. Obeyed, age is not actually a cube because it has rounded edges. And I guess it is called score girl. I'm not sure though. You will still understand it with the help of the sketch. You will be surely knowing how much melanin look like the course. These are everyone's favorite. To be honest, I have never tried hot chocolate with marshmallow. But that reference image, God my eyes and strengthening. I'm placing it one about the adult, like they're flowing from the mug. Let's make a poster for the mock today Istanbul. Let's make a wooden coasters. So this is like a rough outer lining for the Kusto. Let's make a BSW fact-based show more after wooden bug. Mug is full of those marshmallows, let's draw some of the marshmallows fallen down on the coastal to add to the Christmas season. I'm adding I was not going to add this one because it includes a lot of details. And I wanted to keep the projects, but I thought it will really enhance the project. If you do not wish to do this pine cone, you are free to do so. You can make changes to that project. As an herbivore, you like, support the pine cone and just do some elongated Hughes rising from one about the UDL. Sketching is something most furious and time-consuming thing. My dad does also the most important step, and it should be done with all your brains and focus on it. So I'm also making our sparkler fire cracker that this may be coming out from the mug. This is also something coming from the reference image. I thought that's keeping this because adding modalities to this sparkler will create a nice glow to the postcard. So my cup will have omega Christmas you're in the bottom part may be or the sandal. This wants to put down the Ghosh being to undo this. But this is to let you know that we will be writing medic Christmas with metallics on DACA and also some snowflake. 11. Background and Mug: Let's start by digging a good consistency of burnt sienna. You can use. But I'm using a flat brush. I'm using a very light wash of the color. Since this is a bit automatic, just placed under the Christmas tree, you can be any color of your choice. I'm adding white to this year to create a consistency. This one gave a nice more cache. So that texture is even the cause of right now. With this MOOC. And wash my brush now and next big the green deep. And even. On the top side. This is why the Christmas tree, so use any darker green. I'm using horizontal strokes, ten line space for this popular. Again, it's like outlining and then filling the species which makes it the sum of the xs, green brush outline, all of the marshmallows carefully with the green. Okay. Brush strokes. I'm making sure that the paint is even. Since I wanted to use a dry brush technique for though I will take off the excess paint on the brush. So since data step and it cannot form guy brush strokes, I'm extending downwards. I see these two do not like wasting themes. So then I put afford changing the reference image and going with the flow rather than just sticking to what we are supposed to. Since that is spreading the paint left on the brush now I'm using dry brush strokes. You'll also do not forget to do this. We need the handle of the cup and the y same pressure will be. So I wanted to resemble like the bottom most part of the Christmas tree. I'm leaving this for you. You can also paint or what you want because since gosh, she's a forgiving medium. Again, correct any mistakes that happen? Okay. So the ngDialog property with the lines and the last mean, I'm adding black for the shadows now. You are the lightest strike gave on the right side of the left side is in the darkness. Let's make a smooth gradient lambda from adding a little more black. I'm using language window. You can see I'm reducing, doctor, and you are now with more and more. If you are drying up more war, more coverage, especially the brush strokes. Because this is how you will actually, because the black is to some extent. So I'm washing my brush now. Let's add some black. So some lining the bottom of the day, similar to data. One last time for my satisfaction. So we are done with that. 12. Wooden Coaster: So I'm using one part. Adding this to this. I'm taking other didn't bite without washing my brush and painting the inner side of the day if a tiny danger of going local and add to this whiteboard. Now, there is a reason for not asking you to pre-mixed colors because the effect between the two colors will be more beautiful in this way. Now with the same brush and add electrons to this course. San, just feel the leftover paint on my brush. I'm using a dry brush strokes on the outer part of the question. Let's start with burnt umber. Now. If you did not have, you can create one by mixing burnt sienna. So let's create some texture. Now. I'm just dragging my brush and making brushstrokes. Brushstrokes. Brushstrokes with one sienna and two brushstrokes on and white. To add more depth, I'm using black now. I'm creating lines within the coastal. You can clearly see the difference now. 13. Pine Cone, Marshmallows and Details: I'm starting with the addition of black at the bottom side of the scale of the top. And the bottom will be darker. I'm adding them more. Using born CNS. Back to this day don't mix well. With white. You can also use so many different lines, crossing lines in different lengths. So since this line is where I'm rubbing it with myosin, looks like a few lines mix some crosses, a few randomly into, Thank goodness. Well, I'm adding them a new layer on top of Spark lone, scientist, my daughter for orange at the top of lemon yellow. Add a black line at the top of orange for the bond area. Add some lines with lemon yellow us where I'm using a media looming. For the lines. I had a few dots off lemon yellow randomly on the Christmas tree. Would assemble the lighting on the damp brush, lighten the outlines of the darts. You can see that this step has created because I've been diffused. If you want, your white or lemon yellow dots are the same dorsal sports. I'm adding white to the previous gray mix for the shadows of the marshmallows. So try and keep making shadows to the left. I'm not specific for painting the shadows, but because I'm imagining Batman light is striking. And hence the shadows to be placed on the outlines of the marshmallow. I'm adding highlights and do not forget to falling marshmallows. Adding some more shadows to this one. The shadows. So with white, Let's reshape these marshmallows. Welcome. Do you have for this Starting few more down and dry brush strokes. He was born Dumbo. And all of these bonds on my brush. What you can see how each and every step at a time is giving life to this. The bottom part of the bond. And then outline bond Dumbo or black. Dry brush strokes at the bottom. Using black, add some shadows to the mug and the marshmallows. Extend the shadows towards the left. Now use any white jump in there and draw a dotted line. But if you wanted to again, skip this step, you can go northeast. Metallics after this step. 14. Metallics addition: So let's please three dots as centers for the flowers. I'm using lights of the volume for the flap. I don't just initiative. Press the belly of your brush and then lift off. So very pressure initially and then reduce the pressure towards the center. Normally, I would have daily data board and they did it in 360 degrees for the freckles, the cross in this way it is against our normal motion. But since I don't want my setup to move, I will be painting in this way and this is indeed a fun process and so satisfying to watch us valid. Also it does because of the contrast of that. Having such a beautiful thing, I would suggest to it, or did the postcard white painting, despite the cost of movement, would be easier. So let's add a line of dots beneath these flowers. If you want to can award this dots and make it in the form of a small brush painting, this Merry Christmas. Okay. You can also use barcode, bent or word The first. Let's also go over these snowflakes. Now. These are just three cross lines with a web-like in the same dough. And do line striding outwards from the ends. Let's paint this model snowflakes now. For the spock, let us just go over the previous white lines, but a few ones. And for the yellow ones who have been used. So few lines for the pop. I'm adding some gold for the Christmas tree. Assembly randomly on the Christmas tree. Hello. And again, my favorite step of splattering pins, flat dealing with that StEC gone. Just few small black dots. You are in there. And with the same brush and add few dots and do use against the fullest. I'm adding a legalese glow to the Christmas tree. Yeah. This is almost like a dry brush technique. This is a technique that I have incorporated in almost all of my projects. So let's wash our brush now and we are done with that project. Take off the masking tape very gently. And we do have clean borders. I hope you like this project. The shine of this syllable is amazing. I think it is mainly because of the red contrast of the mock. The ornamental also popping out from the Christmas tree. This is also the cause of the contrast. By and see you the next project. 15. Project 3: Surprise! Suprise!: Our third project is a gift box here called surprise. Surprise. The colors needed for this project are green, deep violet light go local, titanium white and lamp black. 16. Sketch: Let's start our sketch, my drawing, our rectangle box. So it doesn't surprise gift box that you would send to your loved ones. I'm making future injuries because it is not as body ideas from my mind. Let's draw it had been further gift box. The broad ribbon doesn't seem nice. So I'm making a 1001. Make it crossing to the vertical one. And then we even have a boy at the center as well. Since there will be a naught in the center, the ends of the loop you're tapering, whereas the other ends will be broader. Since I'm not using a reference image, I'm making a lot of changes. So I request you to please be a little patient with me and start with the sketch. When I'm done with the sketch. The first try to understand what I'm doing and then do the for the steps. Since I'm making some forms to this as well. Let's make more loops now. Do will have four weeks. So make sure you pay attention to the details as red. So I'm using and making the arc length. So the opposite loop is diagnosed or D first one. Well what lapping? So imagine you twist, we are done with the sketch now. 17. Ribbon: Get the gold ocher color ready, because we will be using this color for our ribbon. I'm going to be using gold metallics on top of this, and hence I'm using this color, but you can use any shades of yellow. If you want to go for other shades of metallics, you can use any other underneath dawns, like forests invertible, you can use a dark gray or other grace for the shadows. I invite for highlights. If you wish, you can paint that had been directly with metallics. So I'm just painting with gold ocher yellow. In the book. I'm using black for the shadows. I'm using my dear to Moscow New Deal after dark. I'm pulling out black and blending it with the rest. I've washed my brush now. The master doc. Sometimes I do like using my fingers for the blending rather than up clean, damp brush. So let's cover this side as well. I would wash my brush and now for the highlights, I would. I've been doing this from the side as well. This is a mix off by filling it with white, I'm going to highlight it and adding some euros. The underneath side of this being lighter. So with a different brush, I'm using a weighted like black for the shadows. Using white, I would blend this with. I'm adding a little white because it has not gone away. It should have. I know what that is. A lot of experimentation you are as well. If you want to avoid such details of shadows and highlights, you can do metallics using weight now and placing it in the same dough. Pull out the pins using a flat brush, which will give a reflecting effect. I'll correct that exist part on the white later. So since I have a little white mixed on my brush, I'm holding down the Gulag cashiers. So using a clean, damp brush, I have removed the access of the goal or code that was dead. Just drag your brush from one pigment to the other. This will create a nice soft looking effect of reflection. Adding some more to the other sides as well. And now adding gold ocher to polar pigments. We're pulling out pinned as for dragging the brush from bind to another. This creates a soft shading effect. Using white, black and add shadows. Adding some light pigment off black. Shadow would have been some shadows would like to just black ERS. Lights. If you do not have a flat brush, you can pull out paints like this with Russia's ready. Using the value of the shadows. We are done with that. 18. Gift box: For the gift box, I'm using wider to light, but you can use any color of your choice or the favorite color of your loved ones to whom you are gifting this postcards. So initially very large, just the plain colored and they can get off the boundaries. We will need to add the shadows and the highlights with black and white. Be ready good for you to not paint that it begins with docker load. This is a really scary for me as well. We can mask one Leo with an adult, with gosh. But the system, the scariest thing I can ever dream of. Because ideally preferred avoiding such scenarios, but rather than correcting them Lido freaking me out, I fill it. So the size of that had been gone for shadows. So going on with the pins again, we distributed evenly very, very little black on your brush and just paint under that had been like that there. So please read our shadows will be because we've cast a shadow on the box. So I'm just making a black line under that had been and then I've been blended with the rest. So as I've said, you can either use more dough to blank, use more paint. Some highlights with white dress. Adding some more. Once again properly. Using the same techniques being the opposite side. Adding black for the shadow. I'm painting. Because I want to show that this side is immoral for the darkness. I'm taking more beans for blending. I am dipping just a tip off my brush. More paint. Okay, Let's add a white for highlights. From left to right. I am pulling to the light. Now. Be careful while painting with my luteal. You can also spread to with that Andromache. Instead. I looked up on clients with that Arne brush. For now, I am just utilizing the access of beans that are there on the brush. So since I'm getting dry brush strokes now, I will wash my brush and brush. Wash my brushes. I'm a lot. You wouldn't have to switch to our detailer brush. So for this basis, thank you. I assume that the shadow will fall. So I'm placing it like this. Thank you. Switching to my size two brush now. I'm switching back some white highlights. Okay. Okay. Since this happened, such mishaps happen with US. Okay. Gift box, shadow brush now. 19. Background: I'm using green for the background. I'll use some of the pain data's already there on the palette. Using more don't I am forming a good consistency of the paint. We will be painting all of the background with green and dark green using black, Laughter spaces and stuff like that. He was black now surrounding div box. I don't mind covering with the darker green because that gave the contrast. So we're going to be adding some four pages on top of this. So it will stand out, well. Like this. Metallic center. We don't stand out on a darker background. So I'm assuming that shot off the boxes falling as red. So I'm using black box and FADH this, from this, I will use blend with the rest. Okay. I'm using water to blend it. You can see I'm using the whole of my brush to blend it. Does so I'm adding more darker shade. Now. I'm switching to my size two round brush. This is Jakarta. Few minute due dates. I accidentally went or whether it had been. So I have to reduce the size a bit now. Saw that studies and I oversee, be careful by painting my new details. For the filming purpose. I actually can't be ready Gloucester painting and look under do this. And that's 30s and they make mistakes. Voting or maybe actually mistakes essential as well as how we learn to do different techniques. You find different ways. And most essentially we learned how to correct our mistakes. I came back to this gift box. I taught dividing a little character to the shadows and highlights as well with weight. Please don't be mad at me for this because I do come back at mapping ding and make a few changes. It is Here's my main dad keeps coming back and doing things. And I guess it might be happening with us when, when the creative mind is at work. So I'm taking green. So this green deep shade, few grass, just make it in different directions and also make Deming different lengths. So these actually four sides and angles to the green deep. Now to formulate a lighter green on top of the foliage. You will now understand more. So that line. So just to get an ordered manner. So before going to add more white to the previous slide, green mix, mix spread in a good consistency. Not completely masking underneath is to not completely mass comm. Few parts of the underneath also goes on decreasing for the final highlights on top of this, but very few in number. Done with that background. 20. Metallics: Getting the gold metallic ready now, I am diluting or making a 10 or 30 mix of this. This is because I wanted to underneath dawns to be visible. Using a flat shader brush. I am painting over gold, but with a very gentle touches. You have to be light on your hand. That is, use less pressure by painting this. Otherwise you will end up reactivating the underneath. So Jane clipping all over the world have been with the school. Wherever that is white or the highlights, I'm using a light wash of the wood, the same flag brush. I'm not splat dating the goal splatter in the background and try avoiding the gift box. You can see how lazy I am to not even cover the gift box with another P, but our tissues. It seems like I'm doing some examples. So try avoiding the box. I can't get enough of this plateau, so I'm doing a little more. So trying to wipe some of the extra plateaus on the box with my fingers and retouching few of those spots. So we are done and let's wash our brush now and remove the masking tape. Either drip a little of the people. This is also because I did it real quick. And we have a final painting ready. I'm so, so happy how this is looking because this was completely from my mind. I know that there was a lot of experimentation that went into this project, but it was really what did the splatters are? Oh my God, so beautiful to look at. So yes, see you in the next project. 21. Project 4: Wreath it high!: Our fourth project is retained. Tie. The colors that we will need. Our green, deep red to blue, go local, titanium, white and lamp luck. 22. Sketch: I'm using the outline of the beam spokes to draw a line since I'm not finding modelled line for Christmas, read to this point. The background will be our sky. So if you want, you can make it smaller in size. So that more of the sky. But if you want them to be the center of attraction, then make it larger. Dry land for them. So now let's draw the elbows down, cleanse proper. Also make the tie. Since I'm making these diagonal lines with cross, I know a lot of changes. But this happens mostly when you are doing something from your mind and you're just not that way. So I'm reducing the size of the day. Let's draw a bottom part of the lamp. 23. Sky: So far this guy and I'm taking white on my palette and mixing it with the right to form a light blue for the sky. I'm having a little white on my brush along with the blue that were mixed. And this is for creating textures. I'm just a finger tip of my brush to create a little smoother mix. Since the beans already dry and difficult to glide on. And for the as and when needed. I have created a very little amount of color mix because I'm experimenting the color sheets on the paper itself. If you are happy with the shade you have created, then just create a larger mix for the theme. Because if the shape that you have created gets over before the painting is done, then it might be difficult to create the exact same sheet. Since gosh is a forgiving medium, you can paint with this blue all over the fleet, under Bot and then paint on top of this. But I like but resolving the weight of the people. This is because maybe it's my perception that the painting is more vibrant died. I'm taking a look at Prussian blue. I'm blending it with this guy. Can be done, end up being dry or semi dry. Blending. You can use more paint on your brush and then do the blending. If you can observe, I'm using more of the horizontal strokes. So for some texture I'm adding blenders. And it's okay if that I like brushstrokes scene because guy will not be Blinn, but rather have some dark and light dawns. Similar to the Prussian blue I'm taking, right and adding white brush strokes. Since I created that I differentiate so my brush and I'm letting the magic happened on soon. So I'm excluding the bowl and painting the sky region. I'm not being very particular about just trying to preserve. I'm using I'm using water now. Whitespace is now cold with paint. All of the sky. 24. Wreath: I'm using my flat brush and lamp black. This black. Okay? Okay. But you can use any model using the same brush and a random brush strokes in the form of so-called using a stippling motion. Small, small dot with the flat shader brush. Brush like this, you wouldn't create textures like this easily. I'm just creating small dots of light brush and just creating this effect off grass. I'm having no water on my brush and the pigment is also ready less. With the same lesser pigment. I'm adding the color to the bar of topology. This is like a charcoal gray sheet. Let's take green deep on a palette and mix black with it to form a darker green. I'm using the same brush strokes now for creating textures for the deep. You can also use a brush to create this grassy patents. But in this way with the flat shader brush.gov race would be faster. The brushstrokes are diagnosed or each ago, which creates a good pattern. A imaginary center line from which I am taking the brush strokes diagnosis to each of. You will understand this better by observation. Okay. So you have seen how does taking shape now and stuff like that. Green that you have. So these are just seemed brushstrokes. I will add few more and wash my brush now. I'm now switching to my size two round brush. Size two round brush. And I do have a dealer brush. Mixing white with green will give you a lighter green like this. You can also mix white with the black and green mix that we had created earlier. This one give us a muted color. And since I'm looking more of a muted color, I'm mixing this with the previous dark green and black mix. So maybe this is the fourth layer. Now, I'm not using my flat shader brush because I want the minute details to stand out ready read. Random grass like lines arising from a single point or a single line. Did not make them ordered, but they shouldn't be diagnosed with each other. Not mosque near underneath us completely. To look attractive. Lines for the bushes and not in a form of cluster. Something that we've got instinct. I am making small lines and in different directions. Painting, paint and consistency. Do not forget to add a few small whitespace. Some white enacted a slight green mix. After mixing well, as competitively. Previously you also do not forget the key off realism. We just look like. I'm making some of the smaller lines in the form of rising, promising good point. Look really beautiful. Almost done. A few finite, I just feel bad. 25. Bow and Details: So today I will be showing the ball or not. So this is the exact same book, but just in a bigger size. They get off the outlines of the book and the rest is ready to fill it up with red. Since I want this region to be highlighted, I am painting it with lighter pigment. That is, I'm not taking any morphemes for Donna fresh, but rather using the leftover ones. This will give a light wash of the same color. You can also use water to dilute pigment. Shadows, mix black with. So since this isn't beneath the first one, I am placing the shadows are shadows to the board. I'm increasing the depth of I am using light amount of dollars. When I'm using techniques like the one I'm doing now. It looks really pretty dark. Shadows as more tasks added to the beauty of the bowl. Let's paint the bad Eastman goods. For the highlights you can use or less a pigment painted completely with red. And then later do the highlights with white or white space in the center. So we're going to use the same black, red and mix for the shadows. So you can see shadows. Okay. I added this to all of the lines and moves in dry brush strokes out into the blood was also not recorded. The cost of storage problems, but it was nothing Meijer and just the outlines for the book and our plans for the bar, which was done using a uni-ball syllable open. After doing the dry brush strokes with world and make some white highlights for the babies. Just 11 tiny dot on each of the betas. You can avoid such minute details. So we are done with the painting. Let's take off the masking tape. So it is a project we take high. And the golden sparkle is amazing to look at. I must say the brushstrokes with golden has added a lot to the beauty of the beat. So thank you for joining and see you in the next project. 26. Project 5: Got Sparkly Decorations?: Our fifth and final projectors, Gore sparkly declarations. Let's see the colors needed. So it does green, deep, madder lake, red, burnt sienna, titanium, white, and black. 27. Sketch: To start with the sketch, you will need any round object I have used around Lidia. So using any round object that you have drawn around. So that is approximately one to two centimeters on the left and right. So make a bubble of this size. Make a dot cap for this. Make two vertical slit. And then may call it is under slit below this. Join this basis of the horizontal slit with triangles. Make a loop for the above value to hang onto. Then a string through which it is hanging. Let's make a round period string. So on a string make this round balls with a little spaces between them. I am Adi shaping them into proper circles. So even have grass for leisure as well. So this is just dotted lines for those. I'm making another string good. This time I'm making it a bit smaller in size compared to the first one. So we will have some foliage duress when we are done with the sketch. 28. Background Foliage: So let's make our light more cashier using burnt sienna color. I haven't mixed white. Would burnt sienna using my three-quarters brush. I'm using a flat brush, but you can use around Russia's well, you can use any shapes of your choice, but make sure it is lighter in color. I have to write a little after bone, sienna and formula lighter more comics. Paint the background using this more comics, excluding the Christmas more but under beaded string. Okay, if you paint on top of the Christmas ornaments, just died. The light macaca there is over NAM, so I use water, use glucose. It does not matter to have the background color everywhere. As the foliage will be on top of this. Only few spots will be seen as the background. And hence we had done this. Otherwise, even white would have been fine, but I didn't want it to live it clean. So I went with this light macaca layer instead. I'm using black now, as you have seen in earlier projects for the four liters, it is the forced or the underneath, basically a folder. So you know how this is done. So it should be in the form of some leaf-like structures, blobs of paint, and just make some bush like structures. So you can see how easy it is to create such structures with the help of a flat brush. Just adding blobs of paint. You might be wondering what I'm doing right now. A few brush strokes with black, adding some more black. And observed that the outside soften blobs of paint, dry brush strokes. I am mixing black with green. Next scientist, just few places now. Wash our brush now and remove all of the black pigment where I am now taking green deep directly from the painter. So like we have seen in previous projects, may find nice. This is our second layer, so it won't be very much visible, but still you have to make it very well. The structures of leaves arising from a different point should be very well nor destroyed. I'm using my round brush to opt in the grass like leaves here. Imagination. Hey folks. The green can be noticed ready when the cos site is not underneath. Don't. So make this fine leaves in the form of clustered or Single, Single by just be random and go with the flow. Also while loading deck add that to paint Interco consistently. Because if the mixes 10 or watery, the second layer will not be very much visible. Okay? Okay. Mixing green. Using a dash. Make sure you do not hide the underneath. Okay. Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump. I'll turn my foot. Washing my brush ready to form. Even lighter. Shade is start off a sage green. So I wouldn't make very fine. Also do observe the brush strokes. Like four stops off all of this process to understand it better. Because if you both civic when you will render it well. Okay. The last because it does a bit I would say but a bit challenging. But just trust me. Okay. Okay. She does have different point. So I guess this was a 40-year and we are done with it. 29. Christmas Bauble : Father Christmas Bob, I'm using. But you can also use this soft shadows and highlights. I'm outlining the ball and then filling the space. I'm making like a bar edition yard and showing the sensory late acid reflection. Most often bytes are being reflected back and this would reflect the light objects. You could also own reflections for dark objects, but I will go for the light ones you. The method remains same for both. Yadav, I added water to dilute the pigments are needed. I'm going to be dividing this reflection with the line like this. Blending two reflections might be only going complicated so you can make one instead. So from one direction to the adult. Walks through our doors. Sandra. So wash your brush. Clean, damp brush. Use black for the shadows. Make sure you're not using a lot as it will be. Using shadows. Oh, nice. I'm using some more Christmas Babu top side with more of the shadows like such. Then continue with the same brush. I haven't washed my brush now we are done with Docker. Forgotten to add some shadows now using the same brush. And we are done. 30. Foliage Layering: To add another layer for the Fourier, add some white to the previous late green mix. The loading is reticent in such cases as you have to adjust light in the previous color by addition of more and more bite. By addition of some green dip, I have created a fresh light green cheerier now. So by now you know how we have to walk on this door, observe how am I making their structures arising and different points on a single brand. But ask, few are in the form of a clustered arising from a single point. Let me complete them. Anyway. Testing. Okay. Okay. Consuming process. And hopefully with that company, okay. We will have a design on top of this with metallics. So for that I'm using are Benson and marking on line, you draw two lines are the same dose of debacle between which there will be some designs. I'm making few goals. Might you can make any design of your choice. You can add any designer first choice, like Flaubert's leaves, etc. All follow the design that I'm showing you if you like it. 31. Adding metallics: I'm using for the boy period, chin on the ball's directly in a thick consistency. We're going to be adding the shadows and highlights on top of all of these so-called, and also add the copper to the string. And using a tiny black, I'm adding the shadows. You can also add a black forced as shadows. And on top of this ad, you will see that after waste that you find easier. I am painting using water techniques. Do not forget to add a string that connects all these beads at the bottom now with black for the shadows, and then fill it in with black on my brush. So I'm removing the excess on the dish using GAAP, but black paint has dried. You can be my going over it again and again. I'm adding some copper to this medium as a test done, you're ready doc. Now connecting all these bits together with the string. Wash my brush now and get tao1 Madonna USA scoring mechanics for the string that is hanging out Christmas Bob, and then find using the brush that you own. So during off that gap. And then finally to the cap. I'm adding a little less ordinal minutes. I'm now using a Docker goal, which is to income for the shadows. Previously I had used, which is a little lighter in comparison. So I'm adding to the designs of the CCAP, as you can see. Also use it for the ring and the string. I forgot to add stamps for the fall. So I'm adding it now. I'm using asset will stand out very well on this background. I'm going over the line again to obtain us more. Leaving some space for designs. I'm just going with some goals. I'm making it. I'm adding some leaves. Now on top of this design for the highlights. Yeah, done with them. 32. Final Highlights: As the final layer, I'm using more of the white and awaited little after green. I'm adding water for us, Muda consistency. Welcome back from complete them for that. And those are perfect. And complete the curriculum for that company. But something from complete them. Hello and welcome everyone. I'm not speaking a lot now because maintain as an observation. And I hope by now you have learned how to paint the elements using gosh. If you have any questions related to the class, feel free to ask using the discussion board. I am always happy to help. I'm overlapping the Christmas marble with more and more highlights here. This will add depth to our paintings and give it the look. We just made our photo-realistic look. Hi folks. A special case of complete them. And those are perfectly fine. So you can find a libor shadows now as we are done. Let me take this gap side, the side. And now let's do the loving thing. Remove this masking death. Oops, I did ripple middle of the paper, but I did so I am being ready ambition now, bow to you, please be ready to scaffold by removing the masking did and the last one off. And we have a beautiful painting. This Christmas bobbin has my heart. It looks so damn beautiful because of shadows and highlights. It has added more after realistic Dutch and the medallist compliments all ready read on this. This project had a lot of leading and idiots and hence was the last and the best one. Maybe. I hope you like the class and it was helpful. Thank you so much for joining the class.
