Gouache Painting : 15 Days Of Landscape Painting

1. Intro: As truly said in nature, nothing is perfect, and everything is perfect. Hello, friends. My name is Mohani Sina, and I am an acrylic artist based India. I mostly do landscape painting and animals and bird portrait painting. Many of you know me as Mini Art Gallery from my Instagram account. In this class, we will be painting 15 different landscapes, which is specially designed for bignes. I will be posting the tutorial every alternate day so that you get time to complete each and every painting. In this class, you will be learning how to do perfect blending with two colors, three colors. Then comes the mountain painting with different textures. Also, we'll be learning different tree forms, the pine trees, the palm trees, and different varieties of trees here we will be learning. Here we will be learning how to make perfect grass. Without wasting any time, let's start with our day one painting, and I hope you will enjoy this whole 15 days journey. No. 2. Materials Needed: Let's first discuss about the materials which we will be using. The first thing is the paper which we need. This is the A five size paper. You can use A five A six size, whichever size you want. This is 100 GSM Sorry, 300 GSM paper, 100% quatern pressed. Like this, I'll just place it on the acrylic sheet with the masking tape. And this is the acrylic sheet which I will be using, especially for this as a base for this paper. You can use any base whichever you want. Now, let's talk about the color. This is the ach color from Brostro which I will be using. It has 24 shades. You can use any brand ash colors, whichever you have. This has 24 set of colors. Variety of colors are there inside this in a tube form. These colors I will be mostly using in my paintings. You can use any brand colors, whichever brand you have, you can use it. Now let's discuss about the brushes which we will be needing. These are the brushes which we will be using. First, the flat brush, then the round brush, then the rigger brush, then comes the filbert brush, then fan brush, this is Bristol fan brush, then the pencil, the technical pencil, then the rubber. All these things we'll be needing. And then the palette. This is the glass palette which I will be using for keeping my colors, and the lease two containers you will be needing one for clean and one for dirty water. So two containers you will be needing for the painting and the tissue or cloth for cleaning the brushes. Apart from that, let's see how we can do the taping of with the help of masking tape. So this is the sheet. I'll use this masking tape and half masking tape should be on your paper. And half masking tape should be on the base, whichever you are using. So my base is the acrylic sheet. So here half is on paper and half is on the sheet. Likewise, you have to place it all around. The four corners so that you can give a nice border to the painting. This is completely optional. If you want to paint it on the entire sheets, you can paint it on entire sheet, but I like to create borders when I'm doing the painting. So I mostly use these masking tapes to give a nice border to this painting. All the four sides, I will just apply this tape half on the sheet and half on the paper. Let's discuss some techniques that how we will be doing the painting, especially the blending part. Let's start with that. Oh. 3. Blending Technique: So welcome back. Let's start with some techniques that is blending. I here I will show you two blending techniques, one with one color, and one with two color. So I've taken just two colors, one blue, and one, this is yellow, ocher and white. So here I will be using my flat brush for blending. So first blending, which I'll show you is with one color. Dip it in water nicely. Remove excess of water like this, and then take the first color. That is the blue color which I'm taking here. So First, I'm applying a single layer of this dark color first, and I will show you the transition from dark to light, how the transition goes and how you can blend it perfectly. Here I've used the color. Now I will just take a little bit of white and I'll mix with this blue. Again, I will apply the color. I'll try to blend the colors first. Always when you are blending, take the colors from light to dark. I'm just washing off eye brush, and again, taking a little white and mixing it with this blue little bit. Then again, I will apply this color. Again, I will mix and I will blend the colors and I will take the colors towards up so from light to dark. This is how it goes the transitions with one color. Wherever I will do the blending of this, this is how we have to blend the colors. Now I've taken again more white to this color and I'm trying to blend the colors. Now first, I'll just fill in this area, and I'm taking just white and again, a little more white and I'll just fill the entire this area. So you can see the lines are there right. First, I will wash off my brush. Nicely, I will just wash off my brush, remove excess of water, just like wiping it off and just try to blend it very gently, very light touch of the brush. Now, every time whenever I'm going towards darker, I'm just washing off my brush, removing excess of water, and then you have to go from blending part. Because when we go above the colors comes inside this brush. Now again, I will just add a little bit of darker color. I'll try to move the color downwards because I want a little more darker color. Like this, I'm just taking the colors still down down and since the lower area is white in color, when I will pull the color little down, this will turn into a little lighter blue. This is how we have to do the transition from dark to light. Now let's start with again, blue color. Here we'll try not to mix blue and yellow color together because whenever you blue and yellow color mixes, it turns into green, so that we don't want. How we can avoid it. First, I've added blue color. You can see I've added to the one layer of blue color on top of it. Now I will just wash off my brush nicely, and then I will take yellow ocher. Before that, I'll just add white in between and I'll try to blend the color first with this white color. When white is added to this blue, this color becomes a little lighter in shade. Just mixing a little more white and I'm just mixing and blending the colors from light to dark. So don't put too much pressure on your brush. Otherwise, there will be brush marks. Now I've taken just this yellow ker. I'm trying to put it below. Just covering the lower part of the sheet, and a little bit white, I will add to this yellow, and I will try to first blend this both yellow color because I don't want too dark color to be there. You can see there is a space in between this blue and yellow. In order to avoid making the color turn into green. What I will do is, I will take white color, and I will just first apply it in the center. First, I will blend the lower part of the page. Then again, I will take the brush to the top part slowly. This is how we are going to blend the colors from when there is yellow and blue mix. This is very important. We don't have to make the colors turn into green. Again, I'm adding a little bit of darker blue color on top of it and I will pull it down so that in the white portion, and I'm not going towards the yellow so that again, it will turn into green. So I'm just mixing the colors slowly, and this is how when blue and yellow comes, we use white to avoid them turning into green. In most of the cases in background, we use white, but here we use a separate white in between them so that it don't turn into green. This type of blending we'll be using in some of our paintings. I hope this will help you in doing these coming paintings. So just blend it very lightly and there will be no brush marks. Lightly means with light pressure on your brush. Just let's remove these tapes and see how the blending has come up. Whenever you are removing the tape, remove it very slowly and at an angle so that the paper doesn't come out and very slowly. You can see At just taking out the paper at an angle. So if you will take the paper at an angle, your paper will never, and you can easily take out tape. Now let's start with our first painting. So that is the Blue Mountain paintings. Let's start our first painting, and I hope you will like it. 4. Blue Mountains Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with our day one painting. This is the sheet which I'm using in a landscape form. So I'll just draw a rough sketch of the mountains. These are all overlapping mountains, which I'm drawing here, very simple sketch, not much to do. A simple and basic sketch, which I'm drawing one mountain, overlapping on top of the other. So I hope it is visible. So Try to draw it in a very light manner. Whenever we draw anything on paper, try to draw it with very light pencil. So I will just darken it up so that you can see it properly, that what I'm trying to draw. These are some four overlapping mountains as you can see one on top of the other, which here I have drawn. And after that, we'll discuss about the colors, which we will be using. We'll be mostly using the blue colors, different blues. Here we will be using. So it is a painting of all different blue colors. So first is white color, which is needed, of course, and then comes the Sralim, blue, Prussian blue and black. So all these colors we'll be using. So let's start with the painting. So I've just taken out the colors and the palette. So all these colors, black, serum blue, Prussian blue, white. Now my flat brush, I've taken enough of water on my brush, and just grabbing my colors, the two colors. That is Prussian blue and cerliu blue, and I'm just trying to first add the darker color. So the transition will be from dark to light. So this is how we are going to do. So the first thing here, I have added more of Prussian blue and less of cerliu blue. And as I will go down, I will add cerium blue. A little more than the Priscian blue and also a little bit of white. And I will add again this second color, and I will try to blend both the colors. Always try to blend the colors from light to dark. Here, the lighter color is where I have added white. Try to move the brushes from light to dark color. Now I'm adding a little more white to it, and I'm just trying to fill in the lower part. Likewise, I will move and I will start adding more and more white to these blues so that it gives a transition from dark to light color. Let's add little water and little more of white, and again start just by adding more lighter color. Just blending the colors from light to dark. Now I will just take white color. That's it. I'm not taking any blue color here because blue color is already there on my brush. I've just taken white and I'm just trying to blend this lighter color with the above color. Very slowly, the color which is near to the mountain is the lighter color. I'm just blending from light to dark. Again, I will just take a little more white to it so that it becomes a little more lighter in color. Oh. This is how I'm just trying to blend the colors. When you are blending the color, don't press your brush very hard. Otherwise, there will be brush marks. Now the first upper part of the blending is done. Now I will just do the first mounting, which is a little darker than the one, which is the above sky. I've just added a little bit p brushian blue and I'm just painting it with my round brush. Very slowly, I'm just painting it and I'm just trying to give a little shape to it. So it should be a very neat and clear lines. So that's what I'm just trying to do. This is my smaller size brush round brush, which is of size four from Princeton, which I'm using here. And now I'm just adding a little more white to give a little transition from dark to light color. 5. Blue Mountains Part Two: So similarly, I will be taking a little bit of prussian blue and cerium blue. And I'll also take a little bit of black to it to give a little different color. Little black, very little amount of black you have to add, and just mixing a little white also to give a muted shade of color. And I'm just trying to fill the second mountain with this darker color. As I will go down, I will add a little more white to it, and I'll start blending the color simultaneously. You can see water is only on my brush, and I haven't mixed any water in these colors because these colors are already in a quite liquid form, not liquid, at least creamy form, water, which is on your brush is more than enough to blend the colors. Suppose if your color has dried up, you can obviously use a little water in this. Just blending the colors a little bit more. Now, in this painting, my most focus is on the blending part, that how you can blend the smaller area as well as the bigger area as we have seen in the techniques which we have used in the blending. Now let's do the third mountain, which is a bit more darker than the one which is above. I will here add more of cerium blue and black to this a little bit of white, not too much, just to mute the color. That's why I have added white in this. Little bit more of black because this should be a little darker color than the one which we have used above. Just first outline the mountains and then start filling the colors. This will be easy for you to fill the colors. First outline it nicely, and then try to blend the colors and fill the colors. Upper part is dark and as we'll go down, I'll add a little bit of white to this mix, and then we'll start blending the colors. So we are blending not only on a bigger a, that is the background, we also blending the colors in the smaller area, which is these mountains. Everywhere blending is needed, even in the smaller area, also, we need blending. Always take the blending from the lighter version to the upper part. Slowly blend the colors, and you can see how nicely all the three mountains are looking when we use the dark to light colors. Now the lower part of the mountain, I will use simply black color. Simply I will be just filling it with black colors. It's a very simple painting, yet very beautiful. Like I really enjoy doing such kind of painting where we only use only one color that is blue, but in different forms. Now you can see my brush has dried up. Just add a little bit of water in your brush and then again start doing it. When we are covering the lower part, I'm just adding a little bit of white to give a little gray touch to the lower part, not too much gray, but it should be a darker gray and I'll try to blend that color. This type, you can give a little variations to these mountains. Similar techniques are used when we use acrylic colors as well. But here in Gach that you can do the blending easily because these colors reactivate with water, but not in the case of acrylic. This thing you have to keep in mind. It's much easier when we use gauche colors. But when we use acrylic, we have to take care that both the color has to be wet. Now, I've done all the mountains. I will just add a little bit of tree shapes on the top just by depicting the lines and dots on top of it. Some bigger lines, smaller lines with my round brush to give a reflection of the small trees which are on the top of the mountain. Now let's add a little bit of smaller dots in these black areas. It will look like that there are small huts and houses which have small bulbs which are lightened up in when it is evening or it is the night time. You must have seen in the mountain areas, that there are small lights which are visible in the far mountain areas where there are small houses and huts which have small bulbs and lights that twinkling on the mountains. That's what I'm trying to create over here. You're just bigger and smaller dots. You have to fill it up in this area. Here I'm using my rigger brush for doing this and thick color. Don't use thin colors. Use thick colors for doing this. Now you can leave the painting like this or you can create some stars on top of it. I would like to create stars on top of it. So before that, I'll just cover this below area with my note pad or something. You can cover it with anything, whichever you have. Just make sure that the color has dried up. Then only put a note pad or a paper on top of it. So I've just covered the lower part of the area with my notebook. Just covering it up, and then I will use my flat brush. And with lots of water on my flat brush, I will just take this white color and lots of white colors, lot of watery white colors I will take on my brush, and then I will just sprinkle it with my finger and with the help of finger and brush, just sprinkle it on top of it. Try to keep it at a distance so that you get a crisp and clear dots especially on above the sky. Just a few stars here and there on top of it. I'm just trying to create you can see already this painting is looking very beautiful. I really liked the whole outcome of it. So just adding a few more stars, bigger stars with my rigger brush. So do try it out. I love to see this if you are trying it out. It's very simple and beautiful painting. I hope you will love this painting. This is just Tan painting. We have 14 more to go. This is the whole painting, just few dots here and there and we are done with the painting and now comes the most soothing part that is the removing the tape out from this paper. Very gently take out the tape at an angle, and when you will take it at an angle, the paper will never tear off. Try to take it very slowly at an angle. And you can see how nicely the borders have come up. This is it, and let's start with our next painting. 6. Bright Summer: So let's start with our d two painting. So this is the portrait shape paper which I have kept. Now, let's start with the discuss about the colors which we will be using here. So this is a bright summer background which I'm trying to depict over here. So mostly the colors which I'm using here is the medialo and lemon yellow. And apart from that, neutral colors. So all these colors I've taken out, that is white, lemon yellow, medialo, and black. Let's start with first the blocking of the background. Again, the flat brush I'm using here. First, I'll just dip it in water, and then I will take first to the color, which is the mid yellow color. You can take mid yellow cadmium yellow or chrome yellow, whichever color you have, you can take it and just apply on the first layer of color on top of it. The first layer is the darker color. Here you can see, I'm just applying a half of this with this medi yellow color, and then I will apply the lemon yellow. First, I'm applying just this in the half page till the mid section, I've applied this med yellow. Then I'll just wash off my brush and then I'll take another yellow, which is the lemon yellow, which you can see here, and I'll just apply in the second coat and I'll just try to blend both the colors. Again, blending should be with a very light pressure of your brush. Don't bend your brush and don't press it. Otherwise, there will be brush marks. Just try to blend it very nicely with your brush and always move the brush from light to dark. Now I will use the same brush and I will take this color and I'll just try to blend it more This is how you have to blend your colors. Now, let's use our white color and this yellow color together and just trying to mix it. A little more. Whole of this from dark to light transition I have shown with just yellow color. Now I will take this black color and mix it with this mid yellow to make it a little color, which is the little sap green color or olive color, you can say this color comes up, and I'm just filling this lower portion. Just with my flat brush. You can see here I haven't drawn anything, and I'm just trying to fill just trying to shape it with this flat brush. Just trying to fill in this pillow area. It's a very simple and easy painting where we are just focusing on the background part and the textures which are on the ground. I'm not bothered about to be a very nice blending at the bottom since this is a ground part. Now I will start doing some more textures with my rigger brush. This is a rigger brush which I'm using here. It comes in three different sizes that size 02 by zero, three by zero, any size you can use whichever size you feel like. Now, I'm trying to create small grasses just by mixing this black and mid yellow together. I'm just trying to create some small grasses. Just fine lines below. The small small grasses you can see in the below section. Just make it quite close to each other so that there will be less gap in between. When I was doing this painting, I was still thinking whether to put this painting in this section or not, but I thought to put it down. Then I thought to just put it down so that And I'm just creating some more tree lines. Now, this is a summer season where all the leaves are fallen and just the branches are there. So it's like that. First, I'm just trying to create the tree trunk and the whole shape of it, and then I will do the s, tiny, tiny branches and stems over there. This thing, you can draw it first and then you can outline it. It's up to you how you want to do it, or you can just do it directly with this color. It's your choice. Simply making a little bit of not a smooth line, some thick lines in between and then flat. Now I'm just trying to first give the shape of the tree, and then I will try to make more and more branches out of it. Simple tree lines. I never make the tree in a straight line. I try to make it a little more in a zig zag form, a little more in a wavy form. So just I'm trying to do that. Slowly, slowly, I'm just making all the tree lines. It's a very simple and easy painting, and any one of you can do it. Even a Pigner who has never tried it can do this painting. The main focus here in this painting is the tree branches and the stems, how it is coming out. All these paintings you can do in any medium. You can use your gauche medium, you can use your acrylic medium, you can use your oil medium, whichever medium you feel like you can use these mediums. Just creating the branches slowly and giving the shape to this tree. You can also create your own style of tree, just see any trees which are nearby your house and try to copy that tree branches and structures. This is how we get to know that how we can create the branches and the stems. Now, this tree I'm just doing like in my own form, just creating some branches here and there to make it a realistic. Just add adding one more tree beside this tree, which is having a slanting tree trunk. It is not straight. Making the lower part a little more thicker. Whenever you see any tree, the lower part of the tree is more thicker than the one which is above. As the tree becomes taller and taller, the more it becomes pointed, especially the branches. So that's here what I'm trying to depict so that you can get an idea that how to create the tree branches and the tree structure. Whenever you are trying these fine lines. Always try to use a little watery color, not thick color. It should be in liquid form, not watery, also, but it should be in a liquid form. Then only you will be able to move your brush nicely and make some thin lines. If you will use thick colors, this will not work. It should not be a creamy color. It should be a thin color. Then only you will be able to create these fine lines. You can see I've just created these two trees, and I'm just adding small small leaves here and there, which are there. You can say it a leaf or you can say anything, whichever you feel like. I'm just trying to create small dots here and there on the branches to depict the are a few leaves which are there on the tree. Small dots here and there on the branches. Very simple and easy painting, where here we are focusing on the trees and tree branches. Also adding a little bit more of some bushy area below with just the rigger brush and creating it with dots. Just dots and I'm trying to create the shape. These dots are very close to each other. This is how you can make some more bushes and grassy texture below, especially at the ground area. Simple dots here and there I'm just trying to create, as you can see, few more lines where I feel that there are empty spaces. I'm just adding more tree branches. So more grassy texture below This is it. I'll not do much of it. You can add birds in this, you can add more tree, more grasses in this. It's your choice, but I will leave it like this. Slowly, I'll just take out the tape and our second painting is done. It's very simple painting. Any one of you can try it out, if you're trying it out, do share it. I would love to see it. This is the entire painting. Thank you for watching. 7. Purple Sky Part One: Hello friends. Welcome back to Day three. These are the colors which we'll be using for our day three class. That is the purple sky. Here, violet, color is the main color, black, lemon yellow, and olive green. All these colors we'll be using here for our painting. This is the landscape shape which I have taken. L et's start with first the background. But before that, let's do a little drawing first. I'm just creating a pathway which is below the area. It is mainly the purple sky, which I will be painting and which is filled with palm trees. I'm just creating the land, just the land area, that's it. After that, we'll start with the painting. I've just taken out the colors on my palette. That is lemon yellow, violet, white, and olive green. Let's start with a painting, also black. Let's start first with the background. I've just dipped it in water and I'm just taking the color first. The first color is the violet color which I'm applying. This again is the transition from dark to light. This is how we will be moving. First, the dark color, then I will be mixing a little white to this violet, and I will be slowly going downward by adding more violet to it. And simultaneously, I'm trying to blend the colors as well. Whenever you are blending the color, always blend the colors from light color to dark color. Don't blend from dark to light, otherwise, the entire color will become the same color. So just keep on blending. Don't use too much water. Water should be only on your brush. And if your color is dried, of course, you can add little water in your color. But if your color is like mine, which is creamy color, just water on your brush is more than enough to do the painting. So now you can see I'm slowly just filling the color and simultaneously blending the colors as well. I really like this violet color. It's very vibrant and it's very light. So I've just applied a little more of this light violet color, which where there is more of white and less of violet. So like this, there will be a nice transition from dark to light colors, as you can see. Just making it a little more dark the above part because all the colors are looking a little same, so I'm just trying to make it a little more darker color. Just blend it very softly when you're doing especially the blending part. Now you can see how perfectly this has been blended. Now we will do the lower part, which is there. Before that, let's first do a little bit more of the blending of the colors because I want a little darker color because all the things are looking very light. I've just applied a little more of the purple to the second area, not to the top one to the second one, and I'm just moving the colors to the above part as well. You can see now it is looking a little better than the previous blending. Now the above blending has been done. Now we will do the lower part. For this lower part, we will be using our black color and a mix of green, green, and it's quite dark green. If you have dark green, you can directly use dark green. Otherwise, you can mix this olive green with black. And just filling this area, I'm not bothered about that it should be a perfect blending. I'm just trying to blend I'm just trying to fill in this area with the vertical strokes of the brush. Oh It's a very simple painting, yet it's very beautiful. I really liked the outcome which has come up the entire outcome. I hope you will also enjoy doing this. It's simple and easy. You just have to do a simple techniques and the background will be filled with the palm trees, and you can see there will be two different types of palm trees in this. Now you can see both the background and the foreground has been filled. Now here I'm using my fan brush, just taking green and Now, again, whenever you are using fan brush, use a damp fan brush. Don't use a wet fan brush. Otherwise, these textures will not come up. So I'm just applying little textures on the above part. This is this bruh fan brush is Bristol fan brush. It is not synthetic fan brush. Bristol fan brush gives a very nice textures when we apply all these textures. I mostly use these brushes in most of my paintings, if you have seen my paintings. So just adding little grasses. This is the best technique to add grasses using a damp fan brush and taking thick colors and applying it to the ground. Try to make these textures as close as possible. I'll try to zoom in a little so that you can see it clearly, that how I'm doing the texture part, especially. Just damp brush and thick colors, this lemon and green and you can see how nicely these textures are coming up. This is how we do the grass textures and almost the grass texture is done. This is how we are going to do the grass texture in most of the paintings where we will be using this texture with our fan brush. Now comes the lines, which first I will draw for the trees. I'll just use the rigger brush and thin black color. So don't always whenever you are drawing any lines, use thin black colors. Thin colors means it should not be totally watery, and it should not be milky, should be in between that. So I'm just trying to create lines first where I will put the trees. So some bending lines, some straight lines, some lines are in between the grass, some on top of it. So different varieties of trees, will be there on different positions. So I'm trying to show that when we are putting the line on the top, that means the tree is very far away. When we are putting the line totally in the bottom part, that means the tree is a little closer to us. So like that, I will be trying to depict the trees, especially the palm trees because here we will be mostly drawing palm trees, which the two types of palm trees. You will see how we are going to draw these two types of palm trees. So first, I'm just locating the area where I will be putting all these palm trees. Almost I'm done with the lining part, and now we'll create the leaves. 8. Purple Sky Part Two: Now, let's start creating the leaves first. Now I'm using my rigger brush again, and this color should be in a liquid form if you are drawing the lines. We'll be creating two types of palm trees. One is this and one is another one. These palm trees are mostly you have seen in the ocean areas and where you can see the sea waves. Mostly these palm trees are there. The second palm tree we'll be creating in a different form that we'll see, and you can see this will be completely filled with all two different types of palm trees. What I'm doing is I'm also creating another small tree over here, which is half visible and just creating the lines and small leaves. Once you will do these many palm trees, you will see that you are now an expert in doing palm trees. So there are so many palm trees. You can see. The more you fill it, it is filled with this land is filled with palm trees of different varieties. Make sure that your color is thin. Don't take thick colors. Otherwise, you'll not be able to paint thick thin lines. Now this is another type of palm tree, which I'm drawing here. This has actually a shaped structure and the leaves are coming out of it. It's like that. When I will do the bigger one, maybe you'll see it more clearly because this is a smaller tree, so I'm just making the smaller leaves. This is how I will be just making some of these palm trees, some of the other one. Alternate, I will be doing the trees. Just make it a bit longer. It's like the bushes type of thing, which the lines are coming out of this V section. First, I've created those V section, and then I have done the lines. Now again, one more small tree. Again, you have to make very small trees here. Structure it is. Try to use your rigger brush size two by zero or three by zero for doing this type of line textures. Now, this is again the same second palm tree, which I have shown you. Let me show you a little closer. You can see how first I have done the V section and then I'm trying to take the lines out of it. Like this, you have to create these palm trees in this manner. This is a different type of palm tree. Oh Similarly, I will be filling up these all areas of filled with palm trees, and you'll see how beautiful it looks when this entire section is filled with these palm trees. It's a very simple painting. I have tried to first start with the simple ones. As we'll proceed further, then we'll go to a little difficult ones so that you get a practice of doing the paintings. That's why I have started with very simple simple paintings, which you can do it. Slowly, slowly, I'm just doing one by one the palm trees. Now here I'm doing the first one. This is simple lines first I have drawn, and then the vertical lines which are falling down like that. This is a very common type of palm tree which we can see everywhere, especially near the sea area. I'm trying to cover each and every part especially in this landscape paintings. Slo slowly, I will be taking one topic so that you get to know how to create such things. After that, you can create your own imagination of your landscapes once you know the techniques and the tricks, how to do it. When I started with these paintings, I mostly used to see the paintings or the images and then I used to do it. But now with my own imagination, sometimes I create the landscape. This comes with time. It doesn't come like all of a sudden. It takes time, but when you will start doing it, automatically, it will come into your mind. Let me keep this thing, I will look more nice. This is how we do the practice also, and it is so mindful and it is so meditative that when you start doing all these paintings, you will just Go inside this and you'll not think anything. So try to do it regularly. At least 30 minutes of time is more than enough for you to do these paintings. Even if this painting is not being completed in one like 1 hour or one day, it's fine. You can begin this painting in the next day. You can stop it at that point, and then you can start this painting. Another day. Don't worry that you have to finish this painting in one day. Don't think of that. Otherwise, you will not be able to complete the painting as you have thought to. And there may be chances that you can ruin your painting. So If you are not in a mood to paint, don't paint, just sit and relax, have coffee, tea, whatever you like. And then whenever you have you want to paint, then only painted. But at least try to paint 30 minutes. That's it. No more than that. You can see I made half tree on the top. Now I'm making smaller ones in the below. You can also fill this with more trees, but I thought not to fill it too much. Otherwise, it will look very crowded and you will not be able to see it properly. So that's why I try not to fill it completely. But yes, you can add more trees in this. Different trees also you can add in then. You can see already this whole thing is looking very beautiful. You can use different background. If you don't want to use this pilot background, you can use any other background whichever background you like. It's up to you. It's up to your own imaginations, how you want to create it. It's just the technique which I'm telling you, and you can create your own Just an idea I'm giving that how you can put in the trees and everything, and then you can do it by your own imaginations. You can also add a little bit of flowers in this area, where I have put the grasses, anything, whichever you feel like you can do it. So And slowly you will start enjoying this process. Like I did. I also started with one painting like 30 minutes or so. And then slowly, slowly, I started enjoying this, and then I am like into this. Now, I made this as a profession. Earlier, it was just my hobby. I started with it. Then, slowly I started enjoying and I thought, why not to put it in a profession. So like that, I have started this painting thing. This painting is almost done. We are done with the trees. You can add more trees if you want, or you can leave it like this. You can add here birds which are flying in the sky, whichever thing you want, you can just add it up. I'm just trying to create little shadows with this fan brush bla, shadows with black color. Now, this is completely option. You can and you can leave it like this. It's up to you. This painting is almost tan and we'll now take out the masking tape and see how it looks. You can see how vibrant this violet is looking especially the sky part. I'm really liking it. I hope you will also enjoy painting this. Oh. 9. Yellow Reflection Part One: Hello friends. Welcome back to Day four. Let's start with first drawing. A little bit of drawing is needed. The base, which is the land area, it's a bit of slanting line. Then comes the middle area, which is the middle line, especially in the center. That's it. The drawing part. Now comes the colors which we will be using. The colors which we will be using here is the black, yellow, cer, lemon yellow and white. These are the colors. I have just taken out the colors on my palette, that is black, yellow, oc, lemon yellow, and white. Let's start with the painting. First, I've taken my flat brush, wet the flat brush, and then take yellow cor and a little bit of black because I want a little darker shade on the top and a little bit of white to mute the color. It's like this shade of color, which I'm using in the top part. So here also, we'll move towards the transition from dark to light. So I'm just now applying this yellow occur only, and just now see the black was there on my brush. That's why that black has come up. So I'll just remove it just by adding more this yellow occur and I'll try to blend both the colors. So here, it's not like acrylic that you have to wait for both of them to become wet. Even if one has dried, these colors get reactivated with water. So this is not an issue in this gauche painting. So I've just added this nice lemon yellow color, which is very bright color, and just adding and trying to blend the colors with yellow ocher. Same thing we will be doing in the water part, but it will be opposite since it is a reflection, al first to the lighter color, and then as we go down, it will be the darker color. Likewise, we will be moving. Always, the reflection is the opposite of the sky. This I have done, the top part. Now, the same thing I will be doing in the lower part, but in the opposite direction. Now let's take first the lighter color. Just adding a little more of white towards the line, which is joining the middle area. Now the first upper part is done. Now we will be doing the lower part. Little bit color, I need to take out this lemon yellow. Now again, I will be using same brush, that is my flat brush. First, I will put this yellow color below, and then the yellow ocher. Then the color, which is the darker color, where I've mixed black into this yellow oc. Slowly, we will move down from light to dark. I'm also blending the colors just putting yellow ocher first. Actually, I'm dividing all these areas into three parts. First is yellow, then yellow ocher, and then the darker color. Likewise, you have to also divide the area, and then you just need to fill the colors. It is a very simple and very beautiful and bright painting. Just adding more of black in this and just adding this area, which is the lower part with my flat brush only. Mostly, we have covered the entire blocking is almost done. We need to now do the little bit of detailing clouds water effect. So here I'm just adding a single line with yellow ocher to give a division between the background and the middle ground. Now we will add some more details, which is the cloud details. Then comes the water detail. Let's first do the clouds. Now here, I will be using my round brush or you can use this filbert brush. This is very nice brush. Just adding a little more of yellow ocher to this black and just dabbing my brush and creating these clouds. Since this filbert brush has a round tip on the top, you can easily create nice clouds with this. Now, these are very simple clouds and very easy to form, and don't take water when you are doing this, use a damp brush and thick color and don't mix the color too much. Otherwise, the below color will reactivate because these are gauche colors which reactivate with water. These things we have to take that we don't have to overdo the round part. Otherwise, the background color will get reactivated. Simple small clouds, I'm just adding here and there and I'm just trying to fill more and more little little clouds. Very simple and easy clouds are these, not too much of detailing I'm doing to these clouds. Now I will add a mix of white over here to make a nice round sun with my again, this round brush, and just adding the outer highlight with lemon yellow. And I'll just try to blend the colors. I'm putting the sun in the side so that when the tree will fall on it, the sun will come in between. Like that, I have placed this sun part. Just adding a little more of this lemon yellow to the outside. And you can just plant the colors just with your brush without any color with a damp brush, and taking more of this white and putting in the center because I want to take vibrant white sun in center. This above part is done. We'll now do the water detailing. W 10. Yellow Reflection Part Two: So now let's make the brush a little thin with my finger, and I'll just use the same color and a little bit of black. And just with this tip of the brush, I will be doing the detailing of these water. Just the tip of the brush, don't use too much of water in this. Make that brush pointed with your finger and then use it. Then these textures will automatically come up. Don't use too much of water when we are doing this. So just adding these details, these textures very closely to each other. This is a little time consuming process, but this adds a real, very good effect to the paintings. I have done in most of my paintings where I do these sea or the water part, especially I do these types of textures in that, and it looks really, very beautiful once it is done. You'll also see how this has come up when we'll complete this entire painting. Don't give too much gaps in between, do it very close to each other just with the tip of the brush and just dab, dab, dab, and then that's it. You have to do the texture part. Just covering the entire area of this water part and almost we are done with it. So now let's add a little bit of lighter color to this. So in between, I'm just adding the lighter color so that I can get a little blend of these textures between bright and dark color so that it doesn't look like they're two separated things. So that's why I've added these lighter textures as well in the darker portion. Now you can see how beautiful this water is looking. Now when you will add this reflection details as well, the sun reflection, it adds more beauty to this painting. Just adding a few more of yellow architectures on the above part. So try to make it as close as possible. These lines don't give too much gap in between. You can see how bright and beautiful it is looking when we add lemon yellow to it. Lemon yellow actually adds beauty to this painting. Now let's do a little bit more of the detailings of this part, which is the land part. I've just mixed a little bit yellow to this yellow ocher and just adding a little bit dots here and there and filling these spaces. Just a few dots and a little bit of black dots as well. Just a little bit of small textures. I'm adding here and there to this lower portion. I hope you guys are enjoying this series of gauche painting. I'm trying to cover as much as I can so that you can learn the basic techniques. Now here is the fan brush, again, a little bit of textures on the top, I'm just adding to give a nice effect, like we did in the painting of T one. Just a little bit of textures here and there in between. It's a very good brush for adding textures. Whenever you want to add textures, use Bristol fan brush. Now we will do the palm tree here. Let's draw a nice palm tree. Already we have drawn so many palm trees. I think this will be an easy palm tree for you because in the last sections, we have already drawn so many palm trees. But here we will only draw one palm tree, which is a simple palm tree of one type and That's it. You can add palm trees, you can add different trees. It's your choice. But here I felt like that we should add palm trees because it is a river side or the lake side. So the palm tree should be there. So that's why I added, you can add any tree whichever tree you feel like, any tree you can add. Or you can simply add these this palm tree, which is a little slanting line, which I've drawn. And same process I will be using, which I have used in my third painting. Let's draw the palm trees, the lines of the palm trees which are there. Before that, let's first add the reflection of the sun. Otherwise, that area will be covered. Just adding a few white textures with my damp brush and using the just the edge of the flat brush. And see how it is looking beautiful when you add the reflections. It add more brightness to the painting. Now, I'll just create the palm tree lines first. Using my rigger brush, I'm just creating the lines first. Make sure that your color is in fluid form when you are drawing these lines, otherwise you'll not be able to these thin lines. Try to use liquid color. Don't use thick color. Then only you will be able to draw some nice beautiful lines. The yoke, you can see at the tip it is thick where it is joining, and as it goes down, it becomes thick thin. Like that, you have to make the lines in the curve form. And try to use a liquid color. Don't use thick color. Otherwise, again, the lines will be very thick. We don't want that thickness in the lines. That's why I'm using here fluid colors. I have just added a little water with my brush only and just drying the lines. Now, just draw some diagonal lines, some curvy lines to these, leafy areas. Now you can see it is covering the sun. That's why I tried to draw it on the side so that this tree covers a little bit of sun as well. Simple process you have to do just drawing lines very close to each other, fine thin lines. All these lines add beauty to this palm tree. Just follow the process and draw the lines in all these lines which we have drawn already. And just keep in mind that your color has to be in fluid form. That's why I told you that when you are doing day three painting, you will get so much practice to do these palm trees that you will be an expert in this. When you will do this painting, it will be very easy for you to draw these palm trees. That's why I've made the class in such a way that you don't face any issue when you are doing such details. You can see already we have covered the lower part of the tree. Now we are doing the upper one upper half. The direction of the line changes according to the movement of the lines. Suppose if lines are above upward, then the lines of these leaves will be also. If the lines are downward, then the lines will also be downward directions. Like that, we make the lines. Don't make small lines, make bigger lines, then only it will look like a full crowded, and it should not have too much gap in between one leaf. There should be very close to each other. We're almost done with this leaf part and few are left and we are good to go with the leaf. You can see how beautiful as it is looking when when the sun is behind that tree and that reflection is coming below the water. So that only I'm trying to depict in this entire painting. I feel that this little bit of of grasses we'll add below. Again, here when you are drawing grasses, make it. The colors very thin. Then only you will be able to draw the grasses. One more line I will add here because I feel like this is empty here. Just trying to add one more line over here. Just adding one more a falling leaf. I'll not cover the upper part and just cover the lower part of the leaves. Now it is looking like it is full of tree. Let's add a little more of the lines towards this part so that it adds the blight is falling on these tree trunk area. I'm just adding a little white to this part. It should not be too much white, otherwise it will not look nice. I can just add a thin line over here. This is completely optional. You want to do it, you can do it, otherwise, leave it. We're almost done with this painting. Let's take out the tape and see how it is looking. I hope you did enjoy this painting. I really enjoyed it. I hope you will also do. Do try it out and share your. I would love to see it. You can share it on my Instagram also, that does Mohit gallery. 11. Pastel Landscape: Hello, friends. Welcome back to Day five. So this is the landscape shave which I'm using here, and these are the colors, white, flesh tent, tee, lemon yellow, green, and black. So Green, you can use any. You can use sap green. You can use Vadian green. You can use olive green. It's up to you, whichever green you want to use. Here, the green which I'm using here is the Sap green. So just I have applied a little bit of overlapping land area, just drawing it, and then we'll start with the painting. A bit of these sloping lines on top of one another and then we'll start with first the blocking. I've just wet my brush and then we'll start with the blocking part. First is the teal color, which I'm using here. Just taking a teal color and putting on the top. Very beautiful color and specially used in the sea area. But I thought why not to use in the sky area and see how it looks. Just putting this first color. And then I will be using the second color, which is the flesh tint color. It is actually a mix of yellow and pink color and white color. It is like a pastel color it is. You can make this color by mixing all this orange and white and a little bit of yellow that also you can make just here the more area is white, that because it is a pastel color, so your white is used more than the colors. Just applying the first at the bottom part where the foreground and the background joins. Now I will apply white color in the center and I will first try to mix this color with the lighter color and then I'll start making the brush move towards the darker color. I'm just trying to blend the color with this white color and moving the brush int and fro direction and just trying to make the lines which divides the two colors to a little blurry. You can see I have just added more of this blue, and I'm trying to just make the area more blended. A little bit more of white. Again, just blending the color first from down and then I'm going upward. Just blend it with very light pressure. Don't press your brush very hard. Otherwise, you'll not be able to blend the colors. All these things you have to keep in mind when you are doing the blending part. Now, we'll just remove the excess of color and remove excess of water. Then again, I'll just take a little bit of white and Again, I will just spray on top of it. Just like stars, small stars. I'll just spray on top of these sky area. Just sprinkle it with my finger. Again, I will add a little water to mis wide, and then again, I will try to spray at a distance, such that it looks like there are small stars above, just spraying it like we did in the our day one painting. Now we will do the lower part. I have not done the lower part yet because we needed to sprinkle it. That's why I left that area. Now I'm adding this lemon yellow color first. Now here I'm using my round brush. I have just wet my round brush at directly taking the color and first I'm applying this yellow color, and then I will take the green color. Just on half I have applied yellow, then the green color. And then I'll start blending both the colors. I'll just take more of yellow and I will blend this color with this green color. Just slowly, I'm just trying to blend it, and then I will make the color a little dark by adding black to this green and I apply at the lower part. This whole painting, I have just divided into three parts, that is lighter, a little green, and then darker green. Like that, I have divided this land area and I'm trying to blend in this smaller area. So this is how we blend any object or anything when we have to use so many different colors. Now I'm taking yellow and I'm trying to blend all these colors and pulling this lighter color down. Every time whenever you have to blend it, try to blend with lighter color. That will be easy for you. Now let's start with the second which land, which is the overlo lapping one, the last one. Again, I'm applying this yellow color first, and then I will apply Just applying this yellow color. You can see how much water I have taken. I have taken just the water, which is on my brush. That much amount of water I need because water is only for moving the colors. That water is only needed when we are doing the painting. Now let's again blend the colors like we did in the first part. First, I will just wash off my brush, then just blend it with the damp brush first, and then I will blend with yellow color. I'm just taking a little bit of yellow and then I will start blending the colors. You can see when you blend with lighter color how nicely the color is blended. In the above, also, I used white color to blend the above part. Just nicely, you have to do the blending, and it is a very bright color when you add lemon yellow and green. It looks very bright. Just the last part of the pathway. That is the green mountain, you can say or a green grass landscape where the above part is more yellowish, and as it goes down, it becomes darker. Just adding again the green color first. Now adding a little darker color and just trying to fill in it. Now again, I'll take yellow when I will blend the colors. Everywhere you have to take the same process and same lighter color. Wherever you are doing, take the lighter color and try to blend the colors, then the whole blending will be very perfect. You can see have just blended it with yellow and how nicely the blending is being done when we blend it with lighter color. Just almost done with this lower blending part, and then we will add a few bunch of trees and we almost done with this painting. Now let's add a little bit of trees over here. Again, I'm using here my rigger brush for making the trees, making the color fluid and then first drawing the lines. Some of the lines which are actually, there are quite a lot of trees together in line. That's what I'm trying to show over here. A little bigger lines. Three, four lines I'm just drawing, and then the V lines where where I will where I will add the leaves. Simple trees, straight, simple thin trees are these. Now I will add with my fan brush a little texture to these trees. Now see again, damp brush without any water and take black color, and with the tip of the brush and with the side part of the brush, I'm just creating the textures. Don't take too much color on your brush. Otherwise, there will be patches. Take very less quantity of color and then add these small details. Then it will look very nice and realistic. Don't take too much color on your brush, take very little color on the tip of the brush and just add a light pressure on your brush, and just adding few more of these textures here and there, and that's it. I'll not add too much. Otherwise, it will look like it is full of these textures. So L et's add a of the lines a bit lighter color I'm just making and drawing some grassy lines below. I'm making the color a little lighter so that it is more visible because that is a darker part. Just filling small grasses below. You can fill it entirely or you can leave it like this. It's up to you and a little bit of flower dots here and there to give a nice look to the area. Now this is also optional. You can do it or you can leave it. Now let's take out the tape and see how it looks. You can see how vibrant that land part is looking. I really loved this outcome of especially the land part. Do try it out and don't forget to share your project work. Slowly taking out the tape and this is it. 12. Starry Night Part One: Hello, all. Welcome to Day six. These are the colors that is white, Prussian blue, radian, and black, yellow and red. These all colors we will be using. Let's first draw a little bit of the mountains. Today we will be doing some starry night. First, I'll draw the mountains, and then we'll start with the painting. Very simple sketch of the mountains like from above and I'm going a little downwards. Little slanting and little wit lines you can add in between so that it will be helpful when you will do the coloring part. Just one more mountain below that. I'm trying to draw at least two mountains, one on top and one below, like that. Now, let's start with the painting. First color which we will be using is the Prussian blue, taking my flat brush, taking radian and just applying first above. When you add this radian green color, it turns this prussian blue into a light like a teal color blue, like turquoise blue. If you have that color, you can directly use that. Since I am not having in gauche, so I'm just mixing these this green color to this prussian blue and trying to make that color. Just adding more of this Priscian sorry radian, and just mixing a little white. And then again, I'm applying. You can see the color now, how it is. It is the color when I have added white to it. It's like a turquoise color, you can say, If you have turquoise color, you can use it if you are not having, then try mixing these colors and you will be able to make this color. It's a very beautiful color and very vibrant color. I really like this texture of color. Especially when you're using for C painting and all, you can use this type of color. I'm just applying again the lower part and I'm just trying to blend the color. Again, I'm applying a little darker color on top and pulling it down because I want a little more darker color to be more than the lighter one. Just trying to do that. So you can see how the background has come up. But still, I'm not very satisfied with the background. So what I will do is, I will take more of this. I will add more of the prussian blue because I want a little darker side of this whole background. It is a starry. So that's what I'm trying to do with over here. Again, I'm adding a little Prussian blue, and I'm pulling this Prussian blue a do. Just taking a little water, my brush has dried up. Again, adding this pression blue and taking this color to the lower part. Just mixing it with the lighter color and adding more of this shade and just adding this color below. This is how we can change the color as well. Since these colors are water reactive, you can easily change the colors from dark to light and from light to dark. Just trying to first blend the colors now, adding a little white to that mix and just applying the color and trying to blend the colors so that the brush marks are not there. Just washing off my brush, and then just taking this round brush and applying just white color on top of this. This one, I will blend it with my same round brush. Just trying to blend this color. Sometimes we only need damp brush to blend the colors. That is also very effective. We don't need color every time to blend the entire thing. Sometimes we only use the damp brush and we can easily blend the colors. I'm adding a little more white to the section, which is joining the mountains, and I'm just blending this part to make it more bright. Now once this background part is done, we'll now make the stars. I'll use my flat brush with lots of water in this, white color, and I'll just sprinkle it. How we did sprinkling in the first day one class, same thing. We'll do sprinkling over here full of stars here and there, as you can see. Now you can see how beautiful it is looking. 13. Starry Night Part Two: Now, let's paint the mountains. First color, which we will be mixing is the yellow. This is again med yellow, and a little bit of crimson and white. Actually, we don't want a very orange shade. It should be like more towards the yellowish side. Just adding more of white to this color. First, I will fill in this entire thing. Now, one thing you have to make sure when you're using gauche is that the color darker color should not go inside these outlines because all these colors react with water. Suppose if the color has gone inside this shape, then what you can do is you can just take the thick color off this paint and then use it. Then it can be hidden. Like that, you can just correct your errors. All these things you have to keep in mind when you are doing such type of painting, especially the lighter color one. I'm just filling this upper portion first, the upper mountain, and then I will do the lower one. Lower one, I will make it a little darker in color than irrespective of the upper one. So I've just fill in the colors. Now I will take again, the nice crimson color, then yellow. Here you can see I've applied more of the crimson and less of the white. So I don't want a very dark color, but yes, a different color than the one, which I have used the aber one. Just filling the color with a little darker value than the one which is above. The above one is towards more of the yellowish side. And then I'm adding a little yellow on top of it and and trying to fill in the colors. Just taking a little more of yellow, and then I'm trying to fill it. Above one, I've just added a little darker shade, and then I'm making it a little darker shade of this yellowish and brownish shade you can say and filling this up. Now I'm almost done with the filling part. Now we will do some textures on these mountains. But whenever you are doing textures, make sure that your color has dried up. First, I will use this black color and a little bit of blue mix. And taking my rigger brush, I will first do the outlining part, and then I will start with the textures. Here see how I am doing the outlining. I'm just creating small small textures on top of the mountains with my blue and black mix. Very small, small textures and lines I'm trying to create on top of it. Again, this will not only create the line formation, but also the textures inside the mountains. There are some textures which are in between because these are small mountains which are overlapping actually each other. Whatever lines I've drawn, I'm just making those textures. Now drawing a simple line on top of it. Lots of textures are here in this actually. Some more lines to the other side. Now I will be using a different brush, that is my round brush for creating more textures, just blue and black mix, and a bit more textures of round textures. This will add with a help of round brush. Every brush has their own uniqueness. Now when I was using the rigger brush, it was giving me a nice line texture. Now this is giving varieties of textures with this round brush. We can add. So now we will start adding more textures with my fan brush. Now again, use the damp fan brush when you are creating these textures. Some bluish texture I'm just adding to this entire thing. Again, the damp brush, don't use wet brush. Otherwise, these small textures will not come up. Every time whenever you are using this fan brush, use a damp fan brush, Dam fan brush means it's dipped in water, remove excess of water and then use this brush. Oh. You can see how the texture has come up so beautifully when I'm using this fan brush. This fan brush actually adds a very good texture and details, especially for the ground level and the mountains. Now again, I am taking my rigger brush and trying to give more lines to this more dots and lines here and there. Some lines on the top. Little little lines on the top. I'm just adding. Some more textures I will add below as well. You can see this as just random textures, some lines, some dots, mix of lines and dots are there. It's not any rule here, so you just have to fill in with lines and dots here and there. Where you find you want a larger texture to be there, larger, darker area. Just add more textures there, where you want lighter area, add less textures there. Like that, you can add the textures. Now I will be using my white color and I will be adding some white textures in between. Just small textures, especially in the areas where it is the lighter path. Just taking these colors, thick colors and just add here and there, small textures. Always use thick colors. Don't use very thin colors when you are adding some textures in this. Just taking some colors and just adding the textures on the top, then below. Likewise, these textures have created in these mountains. You can add more textures if you want to the below part, that will also look good. Now if you want to add some more lights on the top, then I'll just add white to this mix of color. First, I will create same brush, again, the fan brush with a lighter color of the background color, which I have used earlier. I have just added this texture. It will look like there are full of stars there in a bundle, which is in a row. It will look like that. So just added the lighter texture, then making a little bit of V type like a V type section. Also I will add a little. I think it's almost done. Now, I'll just take out the tape and you can also add a little bit of white in this texture if you want. But if it's completely option, you can leave it like this also. This is the complete painting of the starry night with glowing mountains. I hope you enjoyed this painting. Let's meet in the next class. 14. Orange Sunset Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome to Day seven. Now we will be doing another painting, which is in portrait shape. Let's start with it. Let's first do a little bit of sketching and then we'll start with the coloring parts. A little shape of the land area, diagonal and the straight horizontal line. Line, which is in the center. Just a much drawing we have to do and rest, we'll do with the colors itself. Let's talk about the colors. These are the colors which we'll be using black, lemon yellow, ultramarine blue, medi yellow, pink and white. All these colors we will be using. I have taken all the colors out in my palette, as you can see, ultramarine, white, flucent pink, medi yellow, lemon yellow, and black. Let's start with first the blocking of the sky. Again, the same brush we'll be using. This is the flat brush. Tip in water and just take the ultimarne blue first and apply it first on the top. Just first on the top and then we'll go downward. I'm just trying to make it a little more round shape, not straight one. First, I'll apply this ultimarne blue and then leaving some gap in between. I will apply another color because you know that ultramarine blue and orange, they are complementary colors. Whenever we mix those two colors, the color will become gray or muddy, so that we don't want. First, I'm making this nice vibrant orange color with this pink. First, I'm doing at the horizon line, and then I will move upward. It's a quite dark orange color, which I've applied here, as you can see. Then I will take more of med yellow and apply more of this color upward direction. Also a little bit of a more. I don't want to keep too much gap in between blue and orange. A little gap I will leave, and then I will apply here in between white color and I'll start blending. Because again, if we will mix these two colors, these two colors will turn into a different color, which I don't want the color to be. That's why I'm trying to avoid that. That's why I used white for blending the colors to blend between the two colors. I don't want the colors to be changed, I want the color to be like that, whatever it is. Just trying to blend first upward, then wash off my brush and then the downward potion. Now you can see the color has not mixed up also, and it is looking like blended. Likewise, we have to do the blending of whenever we are using such type of colors. Now you can see how nicely the blending has been done. A little bit of clouds I will add here and there. It's some little darker color. I've added black to it to make it a little brownish color. Just with my flat brush only, I'm just making some random lines here and there to give a little cloud effect to the lower area, which is the horizon line. Just a little bit smaller clouds which are visible. There are different ways to add clouds, but gosh, you have to be careful that don't overdo it. Otherwise, there will be chances that the color will come out because the colors are reactive with water. Now I will add again small sun sunset. Small sun with my lemon yellow color, very small circle. You don't want a very big circle. Very small circle in the center. I've drawn and making it a little thin the color and making the shadow of the sun with a very light color. Again, that also don't overdo it. Otherwise, again, the color will react with that orange color. Very carefully and with very light pressure, you have to do all these things. Now let's do the water area, that is the middle ground. Again, I will make mix the same color. But again, that will be opposite because whenever we draw any reflection, every time there will be opposite shade of color, what you have done for the sky. So I'm just putting first the orange color. Here I will not show the blue color. It's just the orange color which I will show here because only that part is visible and rest of the part is not visible like I have created here. Just the orange reflection of the water I will show here. Just filling it with same color. Very slowly, you have to do specially to the lines with joints the two. Then I will add a little black to this to make a brownish color and I will make first the small lines to both the sides. Just with very light pressure of your brush, I'm hardly touching the brush. Like that, you have to make the texture. Just some water ripples, which I'm showing here. You can see now. Now I will add a reflection, which is a little bit more, and then I will add a little reflection of the sun in the center. I've left that area. Now taking thick thick yellow color. Try to just give the reflections with the tip of the brush. Always use thick color when you are adding certain textures. Don't mix any water in that. Then I will add a little bit of white also to this texture with my rigger brush. Again, thick color, don't make it too thin. Otherwise, that that brightness will not come up. Just add this reflection of the sun. 15. Orange Sunset Part Two: Now let's do the foreground. I will be taking black. First, I will be just outlining the area, which is joining the background and the middle ground. I'll create small grasses like textures above. Then I will just fill in the colors. I same rigger brush, I'm just trying to fill it up, giving some textures above and just filling it with my rigger brush. You can also do first the drawing with your pencil, and then you can fill the colors. It's up to you your choice. It's completely it's how you want to do it. I feel like I want to do it directly, so I'm doing it directly. I don't want a very high back mountains. That's why I've created smaller in size. One side it is a little bigger and other side, it is a little small. Now again, I'm mixing this pink and black together and just creating a nice brownish shade color and just filling this area, which is the foreground. Mixing of this pink and black and just filling it up. It's okay if there is a brush stroke in this because we don't want a very smooth finish of this part which is there, just filling it. It gives a little natural color of the orange shade as well. You can see and little bit more black textures in between. Now L et's take more of pink and just add here and there to give a little texture to this for ground which we are doing. Now I will create the trees with my again ga brush. I'll be using ga brush. Here I will be creating few trees which are together. Two, three trees which are standing together one side. These are very thin trees, not very thick, creating first the line. Now here also I'm directly doing with the colors, but yes, you can do with the pencil first, the drawing part, and then you can do the coloring with black. Because again, when we do any mistakes with black, it is very difficult to cover it up, especially when it is sash. If you are afraid doing it directly with black, just first do the outlining with the pencil and then do it with black color. First, I'm just drawing the lines. Whenever you are drawing all such lines, make sure that your color is liquid formed, not very thick color. Otherwise, these lines will not be created. If you will use very thick color. It should be a thin color. Not that much thin that the color changes to gray. It should be thin and it should be moving, that it is easily moving with your rigger brush, that much thin it should be. You can see there are a number of trees which are together, some are big, some are small. Already I've created four, one more I will create and one to the side branches. Little branches here and there for the whole tree part, just some more smaller branches. Just putting branches here and there. You can make different branches and different tree forms. You can add this tree at the corner. It's up to you where you want to add. It's not like whatever I have done, you have to also do. You can use your own imaginations and your own creativity to add your trees. I've just given you the techniques, how we can add and how we can do the painting, but it's up to you. You can change the branches, you can change the number of trees or you can make more trees. It's completely your choice. This is what a creativity is about, that changing your techniques and what you are learning, you are changing something and then you are making such things. Just adding few dots with again, the same brush to create some leafy effect. This is how we can add some leaf effect with rigger brush. You can see I'm just trying to add wherever I have created the branches. The same technique I will use everywhere wherever I have created branches full of leaves, dots and lines. Random dots are these. These are like textures, which I'm filling it up. Ways use milky color when you are doing all such things. Don't use very thick color. Try to use milky color and use your smaller size brush here, I'm using my rigger brush size two by zero. You can use zero size two by zero or three by zero. It's your choice, but try to use smaller size brushes for creating such textures. Now, you can see I'm just trying to fill all these areas with the leaves. Now again, I have created these leaves with black color. You can create with dark green color, and you can add more textures to these leaves. It's completely up to you how you want to make it more creative. Just filling the middle area and a little bit of the just adding a little more branches and a little bit more textures below where they're joining. So more dots and textures where the trees are, that some trees are. So trees are small, which are growing. Now with my fan brush, I will take more of black, and I'll just add a little textures on the lines of this foreground to give a little texture of the grass. Again, damp brush without any water, don't use thick color. Now, I'm just creating some shadows of these trees. Not every shadow is visible. Some of the shadows are visible, just creating the shadow. Now this shadow is also completely optional. You want to create it or not, it's up to you. If you want to create it, it's good. If you don't want to create the shadows, it's completely fine. You want to leave it like this. It's completely fine. You want to create grasses in this part. It's your choice. How you want to create your own your own painting or your own creative idea, it's up to you. You can see there's a very vibrant painting of the sunset. It's look very vibrant when you'll complete this painting with the combination of ultramarine blue and orange. This is almost done. We'll just take out the tape and see how it looks. I hope you guys are enjoying this gauche series. To try out the project and share with me. You can tag me on my Instagram that does Mi art gallery. 16. Pine Tree Magic Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome back to day eight. Today again, the portrait shape I have kept, and let's discuss about the colors, which we will be using. Olive green. This is yellow green. Then this is the rose color, ltmarn blue, White. All these colors and black. All these colors we will be needing for our painting. Let's start first. Let's I have taken out all the colors on my palette, as you can see, all the colors are there on my palette. First, I will draw a rough sketch and then we'll start with the painting. We are only going to draw the mountains which are a little bit of in a diagonal shape. One mountain on top of the other. It's a Another one. There are actually three mountains one on top of the other. Let's first to the sky part. Again, flat brush I'm using here. First, I will take the color, which is this ultramarine. First I'm applying ultramarine on top of it, and then slowly we'll go down with rose color. It's a very dark blue color, which you can see. I will cover 34 suppose it is in three parts. I will cover the one part of it and the rest part with another color. I've just added whit and I'm trying to blend the color. Just adding more of this white and a little bit of rose color. Again, I'm adding this color below. Now you can see my brush has dried up. I've just taken water on my brush, and again, I'm taking the color. Simply, I've just added a little bit of rose color and I'm just trying to blend the color. Always move the brush from light to dark. Don't go from dark to light. It will be helpful for you to blend the colors. Again, a mix of rose, and I'm just blending the colors and pushing this rose color upward little so that it becomes a little lighter in shade. I've just taken tel up so that that blue also becomes a little light in color. You can see I'm just trying to remove the brushtrokes, which have been there on top and by applying again ultramarine. Again, I will take white, and again, I will blend that color. Like that, you can remove the brush lines. Whenever you are blending the color don't give much pressure on your brush, otherwise, there will be brush lines. Try to do it very lightly. Just mixing this rose again and adding to the area, which is near to the first mountain, as you can see, just the rose color and white color. Again, I am trying to blend with the upper color. Again, I'm taking the color upward and just trying to blend the entire colors. Now you can see whole blending has been done. After that, we'll start with the below part. But before that a little bit of brushtrokes are there, so I'm just trying to blend it nicely with my very light hand. That means very light pressure on your brush. Don't press your brush, otherwise, there will be brush marks. Now let's do the mountains. In this mountain, I have mixed a little bit of ultramarine and then I'm just filling the color in the first mountain. You can see I'm using the same flat brush and just filling this first mountain. Gradually, we'll go towards the second mountain. Now I'm using my round brush because it's a little difficult when you do with your flat brush. Making it more neat and nicely color filled with color. Now I will do the second mountain with ultramarine and this rose mix. In this, I have not added white. There was already a little white on the palette. That white I have used. Little bit more darker color. You can see it's such a vibrant color it is when you add this rose color. Just trying to mix more of the colors and trying to fill this area. You can see how bright the colors. Now I'm adding a little bit of white and then I will try to blend this both the colors. Like we did in our day one painting, like that, only we are doing these mountains as well, but with different colors. Just adding more of this darker color, just blue color, and just trying to blend that color with the lighter one. Because I don't want very purplish color. That's why. Now we will do the lower mountain, which is there. The lower mountain, I will be doing with my flat brush, mixing olive green and black. Both the colors I will mix and I'll just fill in this area. In this, if there is brush marks, it's okay because we will be creating small grasses, so it will be covered. It's okay if there are brush marks in this area. Actually, we want a very darker color. Just mixing a little bit of more of this yellow green, and just adding the colors to it. Here I will be making grasses. I'll show you how to do the grass by using the fan brush. Just filling this area. Now we will be using the lighter color for creating grasses. Again, the fan brush, damp fan brush, then olive green and this green yellow mix, and just adding a little grasses. Just taking more of this color, and you can see how nicely this texture is coming up. Now I'm adding a little bit of white so that it becomes more visible because these colors are a little transparent. Now I'm just filling this whole area with this nice fan brush. This is Bristol fan brush, which I'm using here from rosemary. Just try to fill it up this area and this brush actually creates very nice and beautiful grass texture. I really like this brush and I use in most of my painting. You can also use it for creating some beautiful grasses. You can see I'm just filling this area with these small grasses. If you don't have this yellow green, you can use lemon yellow and green mix to create this color. Once we are done with this, we'll also create some trees which are there. First, I'll just fill in this with small grasses. Now above, I'm using a little bit of of this yellow green to give a more brightness to the upper area, especially. Now you can see the entire thing is filled with green grass. 17. Pine Tree Magic Part Two: Now let's start with the tree formation. Here I'm using my rigger brush, making my color a little thin and one straight line. This line, you can also draw with your pencil, or you can directly do with the black color. It's your choice. I am doing it directly. You can first draw the line if you're unable to draw a straight line, or you can just do it directly like I am doing. But whenever you are drawing these lines, just you have to remember that the color should be in fluid form. It should not be very thick color. Otherwise, you will not be able to create some nice thin fine lines. Here I will be creating two trees that are pine trees. I really like doing this type of pine tree. I thought to share with you guys as well. Starting from the top, these are just dots which I am trying to create. Just small dots and I will take it down like a triangle shape and just small dots very close to each other. This type of process takes time, but when you will complete the entire tree part, you will see that it is looking like stanning like a real tree. That's why I like this technique. Slowly, as I'm moving downwards, I'm making these leaves, these dots a little bigger. What I'm doing is I'm starting with first, the thicker dots means multiple dots thick and as we go to the outward, it should be thin. Then it will look like a step like a triangle shape. As we are going down, the size of the leaves should be increasing. Then only that triangle shape will be formed. All these textures should be very close to each other. Same process we have to do for both the trees. I'm just trying to make the trees and going downwards. Likewise, you can also do it. Let me show you a little closely so that you can understand what I'm doing here. You can see I'm just creating dots and I'm making it in a upward direction. It is like a half circle which is moving in upward direction. And I'm just making dots and creating these leaves. Just dots and lines, textures like this. I'm just adding, and I'm just trying to make the textures. Here I'm using a black color. It should be very thin like milky color. It should not change the color to gray, but it should be a milky color. Then only you will be able to create this textures. Don't take thick colors. Otherwise, it will not be formed like this. Take thin colors, not so much thin that the color changes to gray. So Similar color, which should look like black, don't add too much water also that the color changes. Just like that, I just adding some lines and this tree is almost done. Few lines here and there, I'm just adding. Now let's start with the second one, same thing we have to do repeat. Same tree pattern, like we did in the first one. Just enjoy the process. Oh I hope you guys are enjoying such type of painting. I'm really enjoying and sharing my painting techniques with you guys. I hope you guys are enjoying it too. Adding some more black lines like a grassy effect below. This, you can do it or you can just leave it like that. It is completely up to you if you want to add some grasses some long grasses. First, I've added black Now reason behind adding black is, if you'll not add black, that lighter color will not reflect. That's why white is necessary when you are adding certain lighter color. Background should be dark and on top of that, you can add the lighter color and it will be clearly visible when you will be doing any textures out of that. You can see I've added little grasses below. Now I will just add one moon that is the half moon above one half circle like this, and I'll wash off the colors, remove the, wash off my brush, and with my round brush, I will just blend this color a bit so that it looks like a shadow which is there. Half shadow, which is there. Don't mix the color too much, otherwise that blue color will start mixing to it. In this type of painting, especially cache painting, we have to take care of this, that we don't have to do too much of smudging, otherwise that the color which is below, it will get reactivated. Slowly, I'm just trying to make the half circle. Again, with my rigger brush and just trying to blend a little color with my round brush, making the lines at thin. Still this moon could be better, but let's see, we can add a little bit more outline to it. I've just outlined it. And again, with this round brush, I'm just smudging the colors a little bit. Yes. Little bit to look like that it is just a half moon which is being reflected. Now let's take out the tape and see how it looks. You can see how nicely the border has come up when we take out the tape. This is it and thank you for watching. 18. Vibrant Sunset Part One: Hello friends. Welcome to Day nine, and today we will be painting something right orange shade. So this will be a sunset painting with orange reflections. So first, I'm drawing the middle line. You can take a scale and then you can draw the middle line. It's your choice. Now bushes which are there at a distance that I'm drawing, very small small bushes, and then the area, which is there in between the water, where there are grasses and grasses and little little land area is there in between the water area. That I'm drawing here. Just some triangular lines. And this is it, we'll not be drawing much. In between in the center, I will create the sun. This will be an orange painting full of orange colors of different value. These are the colors which we will be using white, black, medallo, this is florescent pink, and lemon yellow. Since I don't have orange color, that's why I'm using fluorescent pink, which I will mix with yellow to create orange color. But if you have orange color, you can directly use your orange color. Now again, the flat brush. I will vet my flat brush first. First, I will start from the center. I will first add white color in the center. Simple white color in the center with my round brush, then med yellow to the outward of the circle. After that, I will try to mix the color a little bit more towards outer part. Little bit of water I've taken on my brush to move the color because you can see there are dry marks on my brush. That's why I have added water on my brush. Now I will start creating the background sky first. For this, first, I will use this medi yeow and a little bit of pink to make it orange. If you have orange, then you can directly use orange color. So I'm just mixing a little bit more of this pink and medi yellow, and first I'm applying above. Here I'm just moving the brush like a half circle direction, not straight, but in a half circle. As you can see. Just filling this whole area with first one color. As we will go down, the colors will be a little d. Adding a little bit of black to this. I'm just making the color a dark and first applying it. Since it is difficult to mix the color and blend the color when you have created the sun. What I will do I will first since I have started earlier. I'll just remove that sun and I'll just start blending first, and then again, I will add that sun. Because it is a little difficult when you add in the center or sun. If you haven't added it, you can directly do first the background and then start with it. I've taken a little bit of red also over here. You can take any red, whichever red you have with you. I have taken here scarlet red. You can take any red, whichever you have. I've mixed red, black and this fluorescent pink. First, I will add to the lower part because I want a very dark color of It is like an orange, dark, you can say. You can see it's like a Burn sienna color. No more towards Burn Siena, but yes, it is like burn Sienna color, but more towards the red side. Here I'm just first applying this hole in the lower part. Now I'm adding a little bit yellow. After that, I will try to blend the colors. I'm still thinking if I can protect the sun or not. Let's see. If I can do the blending correctly, then I will leave that area. Otherwise, I will just cover that area. This type of blending where there is only one color and you have different values of color. It's very difficult to blend actually. What I will do is here, I'll just take yellow and pink mix, and I'll try to blend the above color, which is there. A blending of color is very important when it comes to the background part. That's what I'm trying to do over here. Take thick colors, take water on your brush and just try to blend the colors. First, I'm just adding this color above above, the blending is almost done. It's the lower part, which is we have to do the blending. I'm just moving the brush in to and fro direction. Now again, taking a little black red and this pink. Again, I will add in the lower part. Just putting this color and then taking just red and first trying to fill this color. After that, again, a little bit more of red and mid yellow, and just trying to blend it. Now, I think I will cover this area. I'll do it again, this middle part. That will be easy when you are blending this area. I've just covered that area. I'm just focusing on my first blending part. That would be much easier for me rather than protecting that middle area. Just adding more of this yellow and just blending the colors. Now, once we are done with the blending part, we'll now move towards the lower part. Lower part, again, I will be using mid yellow and pink and red mix, black also. I'll just cover this lower part first. I want a very vibrant orange color, which is the that triangle shape. I will be covering each and every area. Slowly, I'm just covering the area. All these areas which are there, which are in like steep triangle shape. These are all the land area, which is there in between the water part where there will be long grasses with their reflections. That's what I'm trying to create over here. Just taking this pink color and this orange shade color and just blocking this whole area up. All these areas I've just covered with the orange color. All these orange part is mostly done. Now the middle part which is there, which is the land part. I will first fill that area with black color. But before that, we'll do the above part, which is the back bushes which are there with red and black mix, and a little bit of pink also because I don't want it to be a very blackish color. Just filling that area, making it more dark color than the one which is above. First creating the shape, and then I will fill in the colors. So you can see I've just filled the colors. 19. Vibrant Sunset Part Two: Now, let's add further more details to it. I'm just using my rigger brush, making it a little thin. Very thin color you have to make when you are doing certain detailings. On top of this back bushes, I'm just adding small textures on top of it so that it will look like there are little trees which are very far away at a distance. Just trying to create small dots and lines here and there to give a nice look to the background. Use your rigger brush or lineu brush for doing this. Now I will take my flat brush to fill in this area, which is blank with black color. Just filling this whole area with black color. You can use your round brush also for filling this, but it is easy when you use a flat brush for filling the straight lines or a triangle line. It's much easier with flat brush rather than the round brush. That's why I have used here the flat brush. I'm just using the tip of the brush to cover this entire area. You can see I'm slowly just covering the entire area, which is the land area in between the water part. The last one. Also, the four actually land part, which is there. T are in between the water and one is in the land area. Just I've just filled it with black, complete thick black. Don't mix too much water in this. Water should only be on your brush. Now, using the same bruh, I'll add certain textures with the pink and yellow maxs, making a little brownish shade color, and I'll add a little watery textures in these area. Like we did some lines here and there. Taking this color and a little bit mix of black to it and just adding these textures, certain lines here and there. Now you can add that textures also, which I have taught you in this yellow landscape, which was there, that texture also you can use here or you can use this texture. It's completely your choice option, which texture you want to use. Here I'm using some different textures so that I can show you that this texture also, you can use for your painting. Just filling with the tabbing technique, the textures, just filling all the areas here and there, wherever I feel that there is a gap in between. Now I will be creating the main part which I just removed it. The sun. First I'm adding this white color. Just thick white color, it should be with my round brush. Don't use thin color here, use thick color because we want vibrant sun to be visible there. That's why first I'm using the white color, and then I will be doing the shadowing with the yellow color. Now using my lemon yellow, I'm just doing the outer part of the sun to make it more vibrant. When you use yellow lemon yellow and white combination, it looks more beautiful. Just taking now this medi allow and applying it outward. Now, med yellow don't take too, very little amount of mediow. It should be a very thin color and don't overdo the coloring, otherwise, again, the back color will come out. Do it with very light pressure of your brush, then only that round texture will come. I will also give a little highlight to this area where the bushes are with the color same color. Just giving a little highlight to this area as well that the sun rays are falling on this as well. You can see I've just made a round circular base over there. Now I'm taking a little pink and yellow mix, and I'm just adding a little more of this roundness over there to give that shadow that light is being reflected on that area. I just adding more of black to the outer part so that that area becomes more vibrant. You can see I've just added a little darker area and just trying to mix that color first. Just with the brush, I'm just trying to blend that area. 20. Vibrant Sunset Part Three: Now we will be creating the grasses using our fan brush. Again, the dam fan brush we will be using here. Let's start with it, taking black color. And first I'm creating the reflection. Use a damp brush without any water, then only these textures will come up, otherwise, if you will be using wet brush, these textures will not come up. Try to use the dam brush, then only these textures will come. Just pulling the brush down using the tip of the brush and creating these reflections of the grasses, a little bit more of the grasses above Now I will create the above grasses with our rigger brush. Some nice pointed brush, if you have use your liner brush or rigger brush size any size, any of these size 02 by zero, three by zero, any of these size you can use. Just with a thin paint, you have to create these lines, these fine lines. If you will use thick colors, these lines will not be created, you will end up creating thick lines. Use water in this, mix a little water in your black color, and then use this liner brush to create some nice fine lines. So just adding some grasses above on all the pathways which are there in between the water. U Just adding the lines here and there in different directions and just filling it. Also drawing one line in between the horizon line, which divides the horizon line and the foreground. Just drawing a single line and a few more grasses on the third pathway. O a little bit of then the last one. Here you can add two pathways also. It's completely your choice. You can add these three also, or you can completely leave it and just add the water body. That also you can do. It's up to you, your choice, how you want to make your own painting. This is just an idea which I have given to you, but it's your choice, how you are going to paint your own thing. Just adding a few more grasses below. Now almost I have done with the grasses. Now I will do the reflection with white first, just below the circle, just adding thick white color. Now, whenever you are creating these textures, don't use any water in this, take your raw brush and make it pointed and then use your raw raw white color and then create the textures. Then that brightness will come up. Oh. You can see how bright this white is looking. Now adding yellow both sides, both the corners of the whites. You can see when you mix white and yellow, the vibrancy of the whole reflection comes out so. Now again, a little bit more white I will add to this sun. You can leave this painting like this or you can draw some trees, some falling trees, some birds flying. It's your choice. Now, this painting is also complete, but I want to add some trees which are not full trees, just few leaves which are falling from one side that I will show you. Mostly the palm tree I'll show here, the falling leaves, two to three leaves I will draw here, and that's it. Just one line and long lines of the leaves. Now, this is completely option. You can leave it here. You painting if you don't want to draw anything else, or you can draw these falling leaves. Again, here, the color should be thin and you have to use your liner brush. Then only this nice wavy lines will come up. This tree actually adds a little beauty to this painting. I don't want to keep the upper area very blank. That's why I have added this fallen leaf. One more I'm adding to the other side. Just simple lines. You can see how nicely this leaves are looking. Just adding few birds which are flying at a very far distance, very small shape. We almost done with the painting and we'll just take out the and we'll see how it looks. I hope you guys are enjoying this 15 days series of Cache landscape painting. Do try it out and share your project work. You can also tag me on my Instagram, that is Moi Art Gallery. This is the complete painting after taking the mask. Thank you for watching. 21. Seascape Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome back to Day ten. Now let's start with first the drawing, and then we'll start with the color details. Simple drawing here, we are doing the s scape painting. Very simple drawing we need, first, the middle line, which divides the background and the foreground. And then the waves, simple wavy lines, first, and then the second waves, which will be below. So I'll be creating two wavy lines, first one, and then the second one, a little more towards the side. A little bit of wit between the two, and rest is the foreground. Metal is the sea above is the sky and the foreground. Now, these are the colors which we will be using the black teal, cobalt blue, white and olive green. All these colors we will be using for our painting. Now, let's start with the painting. So the sketch is already done. Now, I've just taken Cobalt blue and white first to first do the background that is the sky color. So first, I will take Cobalt blue and with my wet brush, I'll just apply the Cobalt blue on top of it. If you don't have Cobalt blue, you can use lium blue also here. Or you can use ult Marine. It's your choice, whichever blue you want to choose. I have chosen here the cobalt blue. With white, I'm just trying to blend the colors. As I will go down, the colors will be light, so it will be a transition from dark to light color. As you are going down, try to blend the colors also. As you are moving down, you can see, I'm just adding more and more white as I'm going down. Water is only on my brush. That's it. That much amount of water is required for moving the colors. I don't think apart from that you need too much water on your colors. If you take too much of water on your color, these colors will become like water colors, which I don't want. I want a thick color to be there. So that's why I'm not mixing too much water in this. Water is only required for just blending purpose. So again, I'm adding a little more of this blue color on top. And again, I will move the brush down. My main focus is to blend the colors and remove the brush lines. That's what I'm trying to do over here. Now you can see the brush lines have been totally removed after I've applied another layer of it and now we will do the lower part. Let's block in the lower part first, and then we will do the detailing. Now, the colors which I've added here is teal and black, as you can see. First, I will apply the color which is cobalt blue, that is a bit of mix of teal to it, and you can see the color which is formed. It is a very beautiful color which is formed when you mix cobalt blue and teal. As we will go down, we will add more quantity of teal to it and white also to it. First, I've started with dark color. Now to the same makes I'm adding more teal to it and a little bit of white also, and I'm moving down. A little bit more white. I want a little lighter color. That's why I'm adding more white to it. Now you can see my color has dried up, that dryness has come up. So I'll just add first a little bit of white, and then I will wet my brush, and then again, I will apply the colors. You can see I've added more white to it and then I'm just applying that color first to the line, the first line, the wavy line which I've made, again, mixing a little water, and just applying the color. After that, I will blend both the colors. Again, for blending, I need a bit of blue and again, I will just blend the colors. In gosh, it is really very easy to blend, but when you are using acrylic, you have to remember that both the color has to be wet, then only you will be able to blend the colors. Just making the upper portion by adding more blue to it. Slowly, the background, the middle ground is done. Now we are doing the foreground, that is mixing a little black to this color, and I'm just painting first the line, which is in between, that is the wave line. Just mixing to that color, a little bit of black and white. It is like a grayish green color, which I've added over here. After that, I will add just the gray color. This is the line where I will make the waves. This is the area. Now let's add more white to this and a little bit of black to make it a little grayish color. Then I'll just add to the below portion. Little bit more white, I will add to this, and just adding to the lower ground area. Almost we have done with the blocking part and after blocking, we'll be doing the sky first. That is here, we are making some clouds, one big clouds and some small clouds so that we will be making. Almost the blocking has been complete. Now let's do the detailing part. A very simple form of cloud we will be doing here. And for this, again, we will be needing white color. You can see how much white is used when we do any painting, either it is gauge or acrylic. White is needed. That's why you should buy a bigger size white color tube. Now I'm here I'm using my filbert brush to create the clouds. Taking white thick white color first, and just A. Creating the shape. Now when you're using this filbert brush, it is easy to create the clouds because you can see there's a half circle on top of the brush. Now don't smudge the colors, otherwise the colors from below, it will come out, so you don't have to smudge the colors. You have to be careful that don't smudge the colors. You have to do it very lightly the colors, especially the shapes, and don't smudge it, otherwise the color which is below, that is the blue color. It will start mixing with this white color because as we know that gauche color reactivates with water. That's why I'm trying to use here thick color. Now, first, I'm trying to create the bigger cloud, which is there, and then I will create the smaller one. Now you can see, I've just added the first layer of the cloud part, and then we'll add the second layer. Sloly slowly, we have to thicken the color and start adding a thicker color so that it becomes more bright. Don't smudge the colors too much. Otherwise, again, the color will mix with each other. You don't have to smudge the colors too much. To little little parts, I'm just adding these white highlights so that it gives a little bit of roundness and fluffiness to these clouds. That's what I'm trying to do over here. You must have seen the shapes in small quantas and between the clouds. That's what I'm trying to create over here. So add little little clouds in between, little little shapes of round shapes in between to give more three D look to more realistic look to the clouds, and some small clouds which are below this bigger cloud, very small clouds. This is one of the easiest way to create certain clouds. After adding all these details, we will now proceed towards the water part, and then we'll start again with the more detailing. You can see, I've just added the bigger clouds and rest are small clouds beside. Now with my round brush, I'll just try to give a little shape to these clouds, especially the upward shape, giving a bit more roundness to the clouds. B. Just giving a bit more brightness to the upper portion, adding to it and just blending the colors and smudging it. Till you feel satisfied that the clouds are looking good, try to add little details of white details to it to give a more three d look to these clouds, epi especially the bigger one. 22. Seascape Part Two: Let's start with the foreground detailing first. Just taking white first and use damp brush when you are using fan Bristol brush, and a little bit black and white mix, and I'm just creating some textures below first. Just very small small dots and textures here and there. I'm just adding it. A little bit white textures as well. Whenever you add any texture, use damp brush, don't use too much of water on your brush. Otherwise, this type of texture will not come up. After doing the texture part, let's do the part, which is the water part. Just I'm using first the white color. First, a little bit black tots here and there to give a little effect of these stones. Just a little bit of tots here and there. I'm just adding that there are some stones and pebbles here and there on the ground. Then mixing a bit of white and black, adding some more Just adding a little bit water to it because my color has almost dried up. Just adding first the line, which divides the foreground and the middle ground, the wave, just outlining the wave first, and adding a little thicker color to the sides of the waves and then I will just smudge it up, just giving a little bit more shape to it. So just taking my flat brush, I will just smudge these colors. Now see when we are smudging the colors, this black will react. What I will do, I'll first just smudge the colors, and then again, I will redo these textures part. I should have done this first earlier. But since I want to give a highlight to the area which is near to the sea, I have to first give that and then give the texture part. I'm just covering the whole thing first and just giving the highlight where the actual the sea waves meet the land area, and then I will again add a little texture to it. This will not happen if you are using acrylic colors. You can easily smudge the colors and create some nice shadow and some nice glazing effect of it. But when you are using gash, you have to take care of such things. Now I'm just outlining this area with white color, thick white color. Adding some waves, just shaking my hand a little bit and adding some horizontal waves. Just little little waves I'm just adding. Now let's do the detailing of the water first, just taking my teal and white color. I'll start adding the water details. Just same technique as we did earlier for the water part. Just using my flat brush and taking the color and with the tip of the brush, I'm just it. As you can see, Now, this creates a very nice texture of water when you use this type of technique. Just filling it up first with the same color. Then I'll use a little darker color, and I'll start adding more textures to it. The more texture you add, the more beautiful the water looks. You can see I'm just adding some darker color, just mixing a little bit of this steel and a little bit of black to it. Again, adding these textures. Just filling it up below also so that it mixes up with the lighter color as well. Taking again blue and a little bit of black and teal. Again, adding some more textures to it. You can see I've just filled the textures entirely over here. And a little bit of lighter textures above as well where you feel that you have added too much of dark color. Now let's do a bit more addition to the cole bit of that color and adding the line on the top. It should be a straight line. So you can see the water detailing is a little bit done. Also, we'll add some more textures to it. First, with my felt brush, I will add a little bit bluish color on my that sky part, especially which is the cloud part, just a little bluish texture below to give a depth to the clouds and just it up. Just adding a little bit of this color. You can see this has added a effect to these clouds. Now again, using my fan brush, I will create the textures which I've already removed when I was doing the background of it. Just taking a little bit more of white and now I will create the textures. Taking white first, adding some textures below, like we did earlier. Filling all these things with textures. Now the black color and just adding more textures to it. Again, use dam brush, don't use too much of water when you are creating such textures. You can see I've already filled this area with full of textures. Now I will take that olive green color, and I will add here some n greenish grass, which is there. So just taking that olive green and black mix. I'm just adding some of the grass texture, some horizontal textures as well with my round brush, and a little bit of dots here and there to give more textures and to the area, just looking like some pebbles and stones are there. Now I will add a little bit more grassy texture to this with my round brush. These are very small details, which I'm trying to add over here. Now I'm adding more of olive green and trying to create some long grassy lines. Now again, when you're creating these lines, your color has to be a little bit of semi fluid. Then only you will be able to create some nice fine lines. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to create lines if you use thick colors. Here you can use semi fluid colors when you are trying to create such lines. I've added a little white to it so that it becomes more prominent in the black section. You can see how I have just highlighted it with a little lighter color and little light colors below as well to give a little texture to the grasses. So I will add small lines to these grasses. Already I am very loving the painting, especially the clouds which has come up. I really like painting the clouds and the nature beauty. So if you have tried it out to share your project works, and you can also me on my Instagram, that is Mohit gallery. So I'm just creating more small grasses here. We almost done with this painting, just few more grasses and we are good to go. And then we'll take out the masking tape and we'll see how it looks. Just a few more grasses I'm just adding. It's your choice if you want to add it, or you can just leave it like that. This is almost done a bit more of these white lines to these waves, just thick lines. I'm just adding. Now let's take out the tape and see how it looks. This is the complete painting. I hope you enjoyed this while you are doing, so let's meet in our next class. 23. Pink Clouds Part One: Friends, welcome back to day 11. These are the colors which we will be using black, pink, ubalt, blue, and white. All these colors we will be using for our painting. Again, something about related to sky and water. First, let's draw a little bit of sketch and then we'll start with the painting. First, the middle line. Which I'm drawing. And then a little bit of detailings, and we are then done with our painting, some small mountains which are there on the top, and a little bit more towards the ground side as well. And that's it. Not so much of drawing we have to do. After that, we'll start with the coloring. These are the colors which we will be needing for a painting, that is black, hot pain, cobalt blue, white. Let's now start first painting the sky. Now, here the sky, which is it is filled with clouds and very overlap pink clouds. That's what we'll be painting here. I've just mixed Cobalt blue and hot pink to create a nice violet color. If you have violet color like this, you can just use it directly since I'm not having that violet color. I've just mixed it up and I've just made it. So just adding a little bit of white to this and blending the color first. Taking more of this while pink and just adding below, and again, blending the colors. It's a very vibrant color which will come up when you will add this hot pink and cobalt blue mix. Very vibrant and very beautiful color. I like this combination of colors a lot. Now let's use this hot pink first and just apply it to the area, which is just joining these mountain scapes below, just the hot pink. That's it. After that, I will just blend this color with hot pink and white mix and I will move upward. First, I've just done the background. After that, I will create the overlapping clouds on the background area. You can see how vibrant this background is looking when you are using this hot pink color. I'm just trying to blend the colors first together. And then I will be doing some overlapping sky that is overlapping clouds are these. Let's now just wash off my brush, and after that, I'll just take the same thing, which is above to the below water part. Reflection is always the opposite of the sky. That's what I'm doing here. First, I'm using pink because opposite of sky here is pink. Then comes the lighter pink and then comes the blue part. Like that, I will be creating this water part. Reflection will be always the opposite of the sky. Just creating this middle ground and just blocking it up. Oh, no. Similar colors I'm using what I have used above. You can see I'm just trying to blend the colors as well with the lighter color. In each and every painting white plays a very important role. Each and every painting white is there. Yes. I have done the sky and the medal crowd. Now we will be just adding a little bit more of this pink because my pink has got finished. So I'm just adding this pink a little bit more. Then again, I will after this base has dried, I'll try to create some overlapping clouds. Just taking my damp brush and with the tip of the brush, I'm using this and just trying to Create some nice white clouds, some pinkish white clouds. It is the lighter color of the background. You can see how I'm adding. I'm just moving the brush int and from motion in a very light pressure of the brush. Don't press your brush. Otherwise, you will not be able to create such effect. Always use a damp brush and with very light pressure, you have to create these clouds. Don't press it. Otherwise, the color which is below, it will come out. Initially, it will look like it will be very like smudgy or what you can say, will not look good, but eventually when you will start painting it, the effect of these clouds will look very nice. I'm just adding a little white to this. Just thick white and with a very light pressure of my hand. I'm just adding these colors, just whitish clouds. So you can see the cloud effects, which is coming up. These are all overlapping clouds which I am trying to depict over here. Some darker clouds I'm adding in between to these lighter ones. Same technique I'm using here. I'm just moving my brush on to and fro direction and just creating some nice lines with the tip of the brush. Again, I will just use the lighter color a little bit white and pink mix. Again, I will add some more lighter clouds in between the darker one. This is how I've just filled it with full of clouds. Now I will just adding a little bit more of these and I'll not do much, otherwise, we will have to overdo it. Let's take again a bit of white. Thick white and just add ale bit of white below also ale bit of pink in between the whites. Here my mom mostly the focuses on the clouds, which are the overlapping clouds. Now let's add some water effect below. Just adding white and same technique of water effect I'm adding over here like I added in the previous one previous paintings, same technique. You can see I'm just adding some more water effects, just filling it up with same dark color and some light color, some pinkish color. Just adding a little black to the lower part to make it more dark. This is a very easy form of creating some nice beautiful texture of the water. Now let's add a little bit of lighter color as well to the darker mix so that it blends together. Just adding some pinkish and whitish mix of color and just adding some more textures to the water part. You can see almost we have done the water detailing now the middle part which is left and the foreground is left. Before adding the middle part, I'll just take a little bit white on my liner brush, and I will add few more clouds, which are thin clouds and with a dry effect of brushes semi, and I'm just adding some more whitish texture on top of it. It gives a very nice texture of clouds when you use the liner brush and just add these thick colors. Also a little bit of pinkish texture here and there. 24. Pink Clouds Part Two: Now let's paint this middle part, which is there. Just taking my round brush, black and a little bit of blue mix. I'll just first cover this part, which is in the middle part. Just adding a little more blue and a little bit of white to make the color a little more muted. I don't want it to be completely black. That's why I've mixed a bit of bluish color to this. Just first outlining the upper area, and then I will just fill in it with this color. A little bit of blue I will add to the lower part. Filling it up with my round brush. Now, you can see, I've just filled it and with my liner brush, I'm just adding a few details on top of it so that it will look like there are small bushes and trees which are above and just trying to create the shape of that small trees above. M O Now we will be doing the lower part also. Again, for the lower part, we will be I'm just taking this pink. I want a little pink over here to be reflected. Just adding a little bit of pink to this side to make it a bit of pinkish color to the mountains so that the light is reflecting on the background mountains as well. Now let's do the O a more just mixing the colors first. First, I'm just doing the outlining of the upper part of this foreground, and then I will fill in the colors. For filling the colors, I'll just use my flat brush and I'll just fill in this whole below area. O Now just filled all the colors. Now just adding a few more details to the portion which is below. Small textures, like we did on the above, just small textures of grasses are there. All these small textures actually adds beauty to the paintings, just adding small textures. Some bigger textures as well. Now I'll create some pine trees which are of different shape, one pine tree, which we have learned earlier. Now, this is a different shape of pine tree. So I'll just fill in this area with small and big pine trees. First, I've created a line with my rigger brush. You can use your pencil to create lines if you're having difficulty in creating lines with your brush. Now, after that, I'll just make the color a little bit thin. Means you have to use your fluid color. Don't use thick color. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to do these entire detailing. Use the fluid color and a little bit small and big trees I'm adding here. Simple trees. These are not so very complicated trees. Simple trees which I will be adding over here. Just adding some more lines which are like a V section lines. These leaves are actually on the upward direction. That's why I'm first creating the lines in the upward direction, and it will be like a triangle in shape so that as we will go down, the lines will. Means the lines size. Then only it will create a rectangle shape, triangle shape tree. And don't keep the distance between the lines very two gap in between, I should be a very less gap in between. I'll first create the lines and then we will add the leaves. O You can see I've just added the lines everywhere. Now with the same brush, I will be adding some textures, which we did earlier also in some of our paintings, as you remember, if you have done it. Just adding a few textures here, just small small textures. You can see just small small textures, I'm just adding to these areas. Texture should be on both the side of the line. Then only it will look nice. Just add to textures dots like this. As we will go down, we will be filling these textures both the sides of the lines. Also in between the gaps which are there in between the two lines. The main line, which has a gap in between there also, I will be adding textures. I will not give a lot of space in between. If you will leave a lot of space in between, it will not look good as a tree. Try to give less space in between the tree and whatever space is left, just add a little bit of textures to there also. So it's a very beautiful and vibrant painting. So I wanted to share this painting with you guys. So doing that. I hope you are enjoying this 15 days cache painting. Types of landscape I'm trying to share with you. If you have any suggestions, you can definitely tell me. I would love to hear that. Just adding a few tees as I'm going down, you can see the size of the lines are also increasing. A. And similarly, we will do for the rest of the trees as well. It takes a lot of time when you do all these textures, but the output, when you do it completely, it's very beautiful, as you can see for the first tree, how it is looking. When you will do this type of texture, ultimately, the end end product, which is formed is really very beautiful, and it looks more a real tree. So just adding the textures to all the smaller trees. So we have almost done with trees, almost the last tree is left, and let's do it. Take your time and do it slowly because all these things take time. Just adding a few more dots below to fill in this area. I don't want it to look empty. I'm just showing that some more trees are coming, small trees are there below. That's I'm trying to show over here. Now, just tick out the tape and see how it looks. It's already looking very vibrant. You can see. I hope you enjoyed this painting. And just taking my tape out. And this is it, the painting. It's almost the tape. This is it and see you in next class. 25. Reflection Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome to date 12. Let's start with the painting. This is again, the portrait shape. We'll draw a few lines and then we'll start with the painting, one middle line in the center. Here we will mostly focus on the reflections. Here in between, there is a land area, which I've drawn, and one straight line in between. A little bit of background lines. Now let's discuss about the colors. Here are the colors, black, teal, med yellow, lemon yellow, hot pink, and titanium white. All these colors we will be using. I've just taken out the colors, as you can see. All these are colors, black, yellow, pink, yellow, teal and white. Let's start with the painting. First, we will do the background, and then the foreground and then the mid area, which is there. Let's start first with the background. Now, I've just wet my brush. I will be using again my flat brush here. In most of my painting, I have used this brush only. First, taking teal and a little bit of white mix. So you can see the water is only on my brush, and I have taken thick thick, milky color, and I'm just applying this steel color. Just also to the below area because again, the reflection is the opposite of the sky. Whatever we will do upside up, we will do below. It will be just opposite of that. First, I added teal color. Then we will add some yellow color with a mix of medi yellow and a little bit of white, and I will apply first over here. I will try not to mix this steel and this blue color because again, when we will mix these two colors, it will turn into green. That's what I don't want. That's why I've added white in between and I'm trying to blend the colors, as you can see. So whenever you are with the two colors, there are two complimentary colors, make sure that they don't interact with each other. Otherwise, that colors will turn into a different color. So again, I'll go downwards. And we'll add some pink to it. So more yellow and lemon yellow, and a little bit more of white. And first, I will add to the below par the same thing which I did above. Now again, this is a reflection, so it will be just opposite of the top background which you are doing. Again, just I'm adding white and blending the colors. Whenever there is orange and blue or blue or yellow, mixing and blending should be done with white color or some light color. Then your blending will be perfect. So you can see how I have done the blending of these two colors. Now we will do the above part with some orange shade color. I'm mixing this pink since I don't have orange, so I mix this hot pink with this yellow, and then I'm just applying it. If you have orange color, then you can directly use it. So you can see I've just applied this orange color and just a little bit more of this pink. So I want a little darker color. So that's why I've applied a little more pink to it to give a little more orange shade, and I will try to first blend the colors with my lighter color. Again, I can see the line which is there on the top. So that also needs to be blended. So I'll just take this color and I'll slowly blend the color. This is how we do the blending in gauche. Even you're using acrylic blending is same but in acrylic. It's that both the color has to be wet when you are blending it. Otherwise, you will not be able to blend the colors. Because in acrylic colors dry very fast, and you have to take care that both the colors are wet to blend the colors. Just applying again this darker orange shade and then adding a little white, and just trying to blend the colors. Again, there's a line in between the orange and yellow. Just take yellow and then blend the colors. Every time whenever you're taking lighter color, just wash off your brush nicely and then take the lighter color. Just perfect blending has been done over here. I really like the blending which has come up. This is a simple blending which is there with three colors, as you can see. Now we will add the middle part to the middle part, just washing off my brush, and then we'll start with the middle section. For the middle section, again, the rigger brush, making this black color more fluid just by adding a little water with my brush and first outlining the shape. First, I will outline the shape, and then I will fill in the colors. You can see I've just outlined it, and now you can fill in the colors. Either you can fill this with the same rigger brush or you can use a bigger size brush to speed up your painting. It's up to you, whichever brush you want to use, you can use here. But for the detailing, use your rigger brush or liner brush for this. Now, you can see I've just outlined it, and now I will use a little bit bigger brush and I'll just fill in this area. Oh. Slowly, slowly, you have to just fill in this whole area. It's better to take round rush instead of flat brush to fill in this area. Just making the color a little bit fluid, and I will just try to fill in this up the whole section. You can see I've just filled the sections. 26. Reflection Part Two: Now let's add some tree lines with my rigger brush, making the color a little fluid. First, I will draw the lines. These are mostly like tilted lines. These are not straight trees. These are the branches are a little bit downward. That's what I'm first doing. First, I'm just trying to draw the lines where the trees will be. There are two to three trees which are there together. What I'm just doing is, I'm just first drawing the lines, and then I'm just thickening it up. If you face any issue while drawing it directly with the black color, you can use your pencil and draw it first, and then you can draw the black lines because we cannot correct the black lines once it is drawn in Gash specially. It's difficult to correct the lines which are darker color. I'm making the lines first. Similarly, I'm just thickening the line first, and then we will draw the detailings. Just thickening all the lines which I have drawn. There will be multiple branches which I will be drawing over here. This is the main branch first. I'm just making it a little bit more thick. Taking more of this black color and drawing a few more branches. Just simple thin branches on the one which are on the sides. Lots of branches I'm trying to draw over here first. Just small and thin branches, just to make it more dense. All the branches in some branches which are overlapping one another. Now, a few more branches on this main tree. You can see I'm just adding the branches here and there. Take your time and do it slowly because all these things take time and make sure that your color is fluid. It should not be very thick. Otherwise, you will not be able to draw these thin lines. It should be a thin color. Then only you will be able to draw these thin lines. If the color is thick, these thin lines won't come up and you will end up messing your painting. Make sure that the color is fluid. Fluid in the sense, it should not be gray color, but yes, it should be fluid so that it can move easily. You can see I'm just filling all these areas up with small tin branches. Similarly to the other branch. This is the sub branch, trying to draw some more stems. I'm trying to show you different types of trees so that you get hands on to it and you get a practice of how to draw the branches sub branches, stems so that you can do it. If you are doing any paintings of your own, you don't get any difficulties. That's why I'm trying to show you e and drawing that how it is being done. Just keep on adding and slowly, you'll see it has started looking like beautiful trees filled with lots of branches and stems. After that, we will be drawing the reflection of these trees, and here, there will be a reflection of this tree. First, I'm just drawing the line, how it is above, and then I will draw this straight line, and after that, I will give the detailing. Just giving a rough idea that, these are the reflections, and then I will draw the lines. Using my fan brush here, Just taking the damp fan brush, don't use a wet fan brush. First, drawing little little textures on the top of the stems to look like there are a few leaves. Small, small leaves are there. Use here a damp brush. Don't use a very wet brush. Otherwise, again, this texture will not come up. Very small, small textures I'm adding over here, not too much. I don't want it to be very crowded. So just few textures, very few textures. I'm just trying to add it. Now again, taking the same brush and adding some textures below just few textures below of the reflection of these back mountains which are there with my fan brush. Again, damp brush, it should not be very watery. Otherwise, this texture will not come up. Now I will use this filbert brush or you can use a flat brush to give these lines straight lines, small, small straight lines to give a little reflection. Be reflections are mostly not in the same shape which you see on the sky. It's different than the land one. It's like a zigzat line, which is being shown in the water. So just I'm trying to first create the lines which are very close to each other. All these are lines which are very, very close to each other. And then and just taking a little bit more of my rigger brush, and then I will start creating more lines. Now, make sure again your color is fluid for creating these lines. We'll not create reflections of all the branches and all the sub branches and stems. Only the main branch I have drawn the reflection. Now, just adding a few lines there. Now we will be using our again flat brush and the steel and white mix and a little bit of black to make it the color a little bit dark, and then we'll start adding the textures. Now, the textures are same as we did earlier in many paintings as you have seen. Just applying this dark color with the tip of my brush, just adding all over this blue section, just covering it up. Also some more textures in this yellow and orange shade also. You can see now the actual pictures of the painting is coming up. Now I'm just using this pink and yellow mix. Here there is more of pink than yellow. And adding a few more textures in this lighter part. I'll not add too many textures in this I think we are done with the textures. After that, there will be one sun, which is there, which I'm trying to create over here. Again, I will be using my liner brush or rigger brush. First to create the lines which are there, just to give the idea that these are under the water, very thin white lines on top of this black texture which we have made the reflection. Now with my rigger brush, I will just take a little bit of white first and add it in the center. Same as we used to create the sun. Same thing I'm doing over here. Just adding first with this white with my round brush and then yellow onto the sides to give a little highlight to it. And then a little bit more of orange texture below, especially to the area, which is blackish in color, to show that there are some lights which are falling on this part also. Yes, a little bit more of this. Don't smudge it, otherwise, that black will come out because it will get reactivated. This thing you have to take care and a little bit more of reflections in the water part. A little bit yellow, you can add to the sides to give more brightness to this painting. This painting is almost complete. We will take out the masking tape and see how it looks. Just me. Let's take out the masking tape and see how it looks. Do share your project works if you are trying it out and we'll meet in our next class. 27. Snowscape Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome back to Day 13. Now here we are putting in the landscape shape. Let's start first with the drawing and then we'll discuss about the colors. It's a very simple drawing, first, we'll draw some slope thing, which is the land part, and then on top of it, we'll draw some mountains. Here we are mostly doing some snowy effect. How the snow falls on the mountains and landscape. That's what here I will be resembling. This is mostly the snow scape, you can say. Just adding a little more darker line so that you can see it clearly, and this is it. We'll not draw much in this. We'll just draw two mountains and one landscape, and then we are good to go. Let's now discuss about the colors which we will be using here. The first color is the cobalt blue, then the med yellow, then rose color, and black. And white. All these colors, we will be using for this entire painting. Let's start with it. I've just taken out all the colors on my palette, as you can see, all the colors I have just taken out. Let's start first with blocking off the background. Wet your brush, again, flat brush, same brush I'm using here. Just wet your brush and grab some colors. First, I'll take a little bit of white and a little bit of this rose color. If you don't have this rose color, you can use pink color also. Now, first, I will apply this color on top of it. As you can see, my brushes only wet. I haven't used so much color and creamy texture paint I'm using here. Every time don't use very thin paints, otherwise, you'll have to overdo it. Try to use little thick paint so that it becomes a little opaque. Don't try to make the color like water colors, since these are opaque colors. Just adding a little more of this color, and then we'll add some more lighter color. First is mostly the pink. Or the rose color, if you have. You can use that. Now, this medi yellow and white mix, and I'll apply first on the corners of the mountains. That is the boundary, which is there. Try not to take the color inside that. Otherwise, we will when you will apply another color, it will react with that color and it will change into a different color. Try to make sure that these colors doesn't go inside that mountain part. I'm just filling this color, and then I will try to blend both the colors. So again, I'm washing off my brush and then I'm taking the fresh color that is white, and I've applied it in the center, and I'm just trying to blend the colors. You can see white is so important in this that everything is related to white color. Wherever you need some blending, white color is there. That's why I prefer a bigger tube of white than the other colors because everywhere white is needed. Blending the colors nicely. Now, you can see I've just blended the colors. Now, I'll just make a little bit more of this blending part because I don't want to see a little white color in the center. So just blending it more to make it more nicely blended. Just you can see, I've just blended the whole entire background. It's looking so vibrant. You can see very vibrant color. Now we will do the mountains. The mountains, again, I will use my round brush and black color. Just adding a little bit of water to my black color, and I'll just fill this whole area with black color. Do it very carefully when you are doing it especially with darker color. And first try to make the outline and then fill the color, that will be easy for you and use some nice round brush and start first outlining it and then fill the colors. When you outline it, the task is half done because the main task is to not take the colors outside the boundary. That's what our main task is here. Once we have done with the outline, tick outline outside, it is easy for us to fill in the color. I'm just filling up this whole thing with black color. It's a very simple yet beautiful painting. Once you will see the whole painting, you will realize how beautiful it looks, and it's a very easy painting, which every beginner can do. You can see I've just blocken this up with black color. Now the other mountain I will do with a little bit of blue and this pink mix. Very light color it is. I'm just applying first this whole to the other mountain. Just blocking it with the same color. Now, both the mountains are being blocked, the background has been done. Just the lower path is left. Again, I'm adding a little blue to it and little bit of this rose color, and a little more of white, and I'll just fill in this entire thing. This entire land area. First, I will just outline it, and then I'll start filling up the colors with my flat brush. As I'm going down, I'm adding more white to it and also blending the colors. The upper part is a little dark and as we go down, it is a little lighter in color. That's what here we have to do for the ground part. This is it. The blocking is ten. Now we will be doing some detailings of the entire painting. O. 28. Snowscape Part Two: Welcome back. So I'll just add a little bit of white because my white has been finished. So lots of white is used when you do a snow scape painting. So I have taken my white, and now I will use my round brush, and first, I will make the sun, which is setting behind the mountain. First, just taking a thick white color and first applying it to the side of the mountain. As you can see, it's very thick, and don't smutch the colors again. These are reactive colors. They react with water. Be careful when you're using it. And very little highlight to this now see. I've just added that color there and a little bit of black has come there. Just with water, I'm just removing that color, and this is how you can fix it. When some thing happens. This is how I have done the sun, and a little bit more, I will just add the outer part, just the reflection of the sun and a little bit more of this black I'll put over here because white has gone inside this little bit dots here and there where Black is not being covered, so I've just covered it. Now we will do the detailing with our fan brush. Again, just adding a little bit of blue and white, and a little bit of this rose color, making it a little purplish color. It's a little lighter than the color which you have done the background. I'm just applying the textures with my damp brush. Now here, you have to use your dam brush, don't use your wed brush, otherwise, this texture will not come up. You can see the textures I have applied over there. I'll make the color a little light and add a little bit more texture to this. Just to feel the snowy effect that is on the mountain. Now I will add some more textures to this bigger mountain, which I have done. Just very small textures with the tip of the brush, we have to add It's like a violet color, but more towards white side. So it's a little lighter in shade, and just applying these textures first on the top, and I will fill this whole area with this texture so that it will look like these are filled with small trees which are covered with snow. So that's what I'm trying to depict over here. It's a very easy technique of doing the snow snowy mountains, and just adding some texture, very small small textures. Now, the most important thing here is that you have to use your damp brush. Don't use your wet brush. Otherwise, these textures will not come up. And the brush which I'm using here is the fan brush, which is bristol fan brush, means the quality of it is bristol. It's a very hard brush. That's where that texture is coming up. You will do with the synthetic brush, this texture will not come up. Try to use Bristol fan brush. This is from rosemary size one brush. You can use of any brand, but make sure that it is a bristol fan brush. You can see I've just filled the whole thing with these textures, and you can see it's looking like it is filled with the whole trees. Now, adding some textures below as well, little lighter in color, to give a little snowy effect to the ground. Now I will add some trees with my round brush. First, I will add give shape to the trees, and then I will add some snow. Just simple shapes like how the pine trees are like a Christmas tree. Just giving triangular shape to this whole tree, which are of different sizes, some are small, some are big. The sizes may vary. Now here also you can add one tree bigger and all the tree smaller. It's up to you how you want to create your painting. This is just an idea I'm giving and technique that how you can paint the snow scape when it is. You can see I'm just first just making the shape of the trees with my round brush. And different sizes of pine tree I'm adding here. So big, some are small. Mostly, I'll fill this entire pathway with these trees. Same process. Some more smaller trees. Just to add variation in trees, the sizes I have changed. So the smaller size means they are very far away at a very distance, the one which are they are a little closer. That's why I'm adding little varieties of sizes of trees so that it gives a nice look to the entire painting. Now I will add some snowy effect to these trees. Here I will be using my rigger brush and nice white color mixed with both these colors to make it a little violet color. Then I will be using these thick colors to create the snowy effect. Just some snowy effect I'm adding over here. When you're adding these effects, use thick color. Don't use too much water. When it adds a little dryness, dry effect to these snow, it looks more beautiful. That's why I'm not adding too much of water in this. I don't want the color to be thin. It should be a thick color, then only that snow effect will come up. It's a very easy and very easy technique to add these textures. I'm adding it again diagonally so that it looks that the leaves are like the diagonal shape. Just adding it and filling it with these colors is white vibrant colors. We mostly don't use white color. We mostly use violet color for the snow, some light violet, pinkish color. You can see I've just filled the trees with these textures. Now I'm doing for the smaller ones, the same thing. Now, for the smaller ones also same thing, be careful, do it slowly and give a little shape to these smaller trees. You can see already this painting is looking so beautiful and vibrant with pinkish background. I'm really loving it. I hope you guys are too and to share your project works. I would love to see them. You can also tag me on my Instagram, that is Moine Art Gallery. You can see I've just added all the textures. Now I'm adding a little bit white texture to the trees to add a little variation of snow, some are white. A little bit of white here and there. Oh. Now let's add some shadow below, just taking both the colors and a little bit of black also to make it a little darker color and just adding some shadow effect of these trees. You can see just few shadows there and we are done with the painting. We'll not do much of this. Little bit more round I will make this sun. And we almost done with this painting. Just adding a little bit more shadow effect to the outer part, and yes. Let's now take out this tape and see how it looks. So this is it, and we'll meet in our next class. 29. Sunset Magic Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome back to Day 14. So let's start first with the sketching. So again, the landscape shape, and we'll draw a little bit of a drawing, not much. So a straight line first. And this is it. We don't have to draw too much. These are the colors. First is the medieow, vermilion, lemon yellow, olive green, yellow, green, black and white. All these colors we will be using. Let's start first with the background. These are the colors, medi ellow, lemon yellow, ermion U, and white. Let's start first with the background. Here I'm using my filbert brush. First, I will draw a circle and here we'll try to make the background in a circular motion. Then I'm adding lemon yellow. As we will go outwards, the color will darken. Now this is med yellow, which I'm just adding it. Currently, I'm not bothered about the blending, I'm just filling up the colors. First, I'll just fill up the colors and slowly, we'll do the blending. Again, you can see, I've just added lemon yellow a little bit more, and a little bit white, again, I will add and I will try to blend this color with lemon yellow. Whenever you are blending any color in circular motion, try to blend it from light to dark color. Now again, I'm apply this medi yellow color and just to the outward. After that, I'm just taking vermilion and this lemon yellow and medallo mix to make it a little orange shade. It's dark. I'm just adding a little white to it to make it a little lighter color. I'm just applying outside this medialo in circular form. I'm trying to use thick color here. First, I will take again this medialo, and I will try to blend it with the darker color. Here the lighter color is the medialo. Just moving the brush in circular motion and trying to blend the colors simultaneously. Now, again, a little bit more of this medialo and blending it in circular form. Now, I'll take this mid lemon yellow and make it a little more circular. Just moving the brush in a circular manner. Now in this case, you can use your round brush also if you don't have this filed brush. But make sure that it is a little bigger brush so that you can blend it. Now just adding a little more darker color outside and first making the line. Whenever you see this, it means that the color has dried. Just take a little bit of water and then grab some color and then start painting. Again, I'm just adding this darker color to the outward part. It's mostly in a half circle form which I'm painting. I'm not painting in a straight line, t half circle in vertical motion. It's a very beautiful and vibrant painting, and it looks very good. Just have taken black. So I will add a little black also to this red to make the outer part of the background, a little bit more dark. Now I'll just take a little bit of the yellow color medi yellow and make it a little bit more. Just you have to make sure that it is a little bit in round formation. Just making it a little bit more round. Again, taking a little bit more med allow to make more roundness to this lighter area. Until unless you feel that it is fine that the colors are perfect, then you can stop it. Just adding all the three colors and a little bit of black mix, a little bit more red to it, to little brownish color it should be, and a little bit white to add a bit. Now you can see it's a perfect brown color which we have made, and I'm just applying to the outer both the sides, and then I will blend it with the lighter color. This is how we do the sunset painting when there is a very bright light in the center, and it's really look good. Now you can see I've just taken white, red and yellow mix, and I'm just trying to fill this area with this lighter color, and I'll just blend this with the darker color. Again, blending should be in a circular motion like half circles in vertical direction. We can now see the brightness of yellow, which is coming out when we have added so many different values of these colors. It looks very nice when you will do the complete painting. Slowly, slowly, I'm just trying to blend the colors as well. Just adding a little bit more of this mid yellow to the outer part. O Now, taking this lighter color, that is the orange color and I will blend the other side. Very lightly, you have to blend the colors. Don't press your brush too much. Otherwise, blending will not take place. Try to blend the colors very softly and you can see how the background has come up. It's looking very vibrant, very beautiful. Again, a little bit of white, I will add in the center to make it more bright. Just making the white a little bit more and taking this lemon yellow and adding to the outer part now see. The red was there, so it got into it. It's okay. We can always remove it by just taking more of this yellow and applying it in the outward direction. All these things you have to be careful when you're using the lighter color, and just moving the brush in a circular motion. Again, taking a bit more of this lemon yellow and just moving the brush in a circular motion because I want a very bright sunset to be there. Now, you can see how bright the color is and it's so bright that especially that white and yellow, mid yellow, and the lemon yellow is popping out of this orange color. Almost our background is done. We will now do the lower part. We'll just cover it with the darker color. Just adding a little bit to the sides, and we are done with the top part. Now we'll start with the lower part. Little bit of more of white, I will add in the center to make it more dark, just thick color, just thick white color in the center. And that's it, I will leave it. I will not blend that color. I will leave it as it is. 30. Sunset Magic Part Two: Welcome back. So now let's start with the lower part. So first, we'll take the olive green color. And then we'll just mix this olive green color with black, and I'll just cover this whole area, which is below with my flat brush. So just vet your flat brush and grab those colors black and this olive green color, and just fill in this whole area, which is below. It's okay if the color is not very, If the painting, which you are doing is not very smooth, it's fine. But just first I'm covering the upper area, and then I'll just fill in this area with this co together. Make sure that the color is dark because here we have to apply a lighter color. If this background will be dark, it will be easy for you to do the lighter color part. Just mixing black and this green together and just filling this whole area with my brush. Now, once this entire foreground is filled with this dark color. We'll wait for this to dry and then we'll apply another color on this. So it's kind of layering which we are doing. But in gosh, you have to take care that all these colors reactivate with water. So we have to keep in mind that we don't add too much of water when we are doing any layering technique. So I'm just filling this entire area with this dark color. Make sure that you do the edges properly so that the whole borderline comes up nicely. Once done with this below part. Now we'll start creating some flowers. But first, I will use this fan brush. Again, a damp fan brush you have to use. Just taking black and a little bit of green in this. A little lighter color, then this we will apply to the textures. But first, I'm doing the upper part, giving a little texture to the upper part with the same color. Then we'll apply a little lighter color by mixing this yellow, that is lemon yellow, and this olive green color. If you don't have this color, and if you have this lemon green color, you can use that color also, and you can mix this color olive green with this lemon yellow color also. I'm showing you how to mix the color so that you can create a nice lemon green color. I'm just filling this whole area up with these textures. You can see. Again, the damp brush, don't use wet brush, otherwise, these textures will not come up. Whenever you are doing any texture technique, try to use damp brush, don't use wet brush. Now, I have pulled this area with this texture. Now I will take a little bit of white and apply on the top so that they are small flowers which are at a very distance, which are seen as dots, that what I'm depicting here. As we will go down, the dots will change into flowers. When we see from far, the flowers look like dots, and when it is a little closer towards us, the flowers are little bigger. I'm just filling the above area with these dots, not the below one. We can see I have just filled this above half area with this white color. Now I will be creating flowers, but first, I will create the dots where I want to create the flowers. Again, I will use a lighter green color and just make some dots here and there where I want to make the flowers. Just random dots here and there. I'm just applying it with my round brush. Now I will start adding the flowers with my same round rush, taking thick white color and just making some nice petals like this. When you create this type of shape, it looks like the flowers are looking. Very simple technique of creating this flowers make four lines above and a little to the sides. Like how we create the leaves, it's similar. Just using the tip of the brush and make sure that the tip is outward in the direction, not inward. Then only that nice flower texture will come up. Just adding a few flowers here and there, where I've kept the dots. A little closure look how I'm doing the flowers. Just creating on top and then on this below and to the sides. Like this, you have to just apply and create some of these beautiful flowers. All I have to fill it up this entire section with these shapes. Just enjoy the process and use thick color when you are laying any color on top of this. Thick color, not thin color. You can see I've just added the entire area filled with flowers here and there. Now I will start adding some more lines of grasses and some leaves. First, I will add the lines a little lighter color. Just adding a few lines here and there. Oh. Now, whenever you are drawing any lines, again, use your liner brush and a little bit of fluid color, not so much thick color. Now here, I'm just adding few leaves. Now, since I'm adding leaves, so I'm using a thick color because again, we are doing some layering over here, and I don't want the back color to get mixed with this color. Use thick color and don't use too much water in this. Just adding few leafy textures here and there. Oh. Very simple painting, but yet very beautiful. I really like this background effect which is coming up and these flowers which are looking so vibrant and so beautiful. I hope you will also enjoy this painting when you will be doing this. If you are doing this painting, do share your project work. You can also tag me on my Instagram that is Moi Art Gallery. So you can see how nice this is looking. Now I will just create some more effect. From the centers, the ray will go outward, that's what I'm taking my brush, one of the brush sides and just taking thin color of this mid yellow, and I'll draw first the line. So you can see every time you have to wash off your brush because when you're moving the brush towards the area, which is the greener area now see here, the green color has come up because it has gone towards green side. So every time you have to wash off your brush when you're creating such lines, see. When it has gone in the greener side, a little bit of green and black comes up. So what I will do, again, I will wash off my brush and remove that with my round brush very slowly. Again, I will wash off my brush. And then again, I will take this color. White color, mix it with this uh every time you have to wash when you are creating such rays. Just taking my roh and some lines. Again, I will wash off my brush, and again, I will grab the colors, and again, I will create the lines. Like this, you have to create the lines when you are creating some nice sun rays. We're almost done with the painting, and you can see I'm using a very transparent color. Don't use thick color. Use a transparent color. And every time when we're doing one ray, wash it off your brush again to the second ray, every time you have to wash off your brush. And doing the blending on the sun part and just creating a round circle. This is done. We'll just take out the te and we'll see how it looks. So I'll add a little bit more of white because it is not looking like circle. I'm just adding a little bit white to make it a little more circular. Now let's take out the tape and see how it looks. Just take out the tape carefully, and this is our foe painting. Now we'll do the 15th painting, which will be our last painting. This is it. The 31. Beach Vibe Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome to Day 15. So let's start first with the sketch, and then we'll be doing the painting. So again, the portrait shape. So first, I'll just draw the land area. This is a little bit of in half circle, or a straight line, which will be the water part, and above will be the sky area. In the center, there will be one sun, giving a round shape to it, and this is it. Let's discuss now about the colors which we will be using. The first color is violet, then rose, hot pink, medialo, lemon yellow, white, and black. All these colors we will be using. I've taken all the colors out on my palette, as you can see. The first is black, violet, rose, mid yellow, lemon yellow, hot, pink, white. So let's start first with the background color. So first, we'll start with dark, and as we'll go down, it will be more towards the pink side. Let's start with first the background painting. For the background painting, I will be using my flat brush. Let's take a flat brush and wet my brush, and then I'll grab this violet color, which is a very beautiful violet color, and I will apply on the top, and just first the violet color. As I will go down, I will start adding the pinkish color. First, I'll applied this violet. That is thick violet color. Then again, I'll just grab in this rose color, which is quite dark color, I think. I just add a little bit of white to this. And then I will apply this rose color and I will blend both the colors together. After that, again, I will wash off my brush and take this white. Again, this violet. Sorry, not violet. This is the rose color which I'm taking, and I'm just trying to blend this color with violet color. So if you don't have this rose color, you can use any pink color, whichever you have. Now, again, I will take this rose color with mix with this hot pink and white mix. And again, I will apply below and blend with this darker color. Likewise, we have to go downwards. So basically, our half of the sky is mostly like pinkish and violet color. And then as we go down, it will become more orange and yellowish color. So that's what our background will be. So again, I'll just add a little bit of this yellow to make it a little orange color. Just mixing this hot pink, this lemon yellow, a little bit more of hot pink. Again, I'll add this nice vibrant orange color and I will try to blend it with the upper color. Every time as I'm moving down, I'm blending the colors and I'm just moving the brush down. Now I'll use, again, I will wash off my brush and grab some of this mid yellow color and apply it below. Just mixing a little bit of hot pink also to make it a lighter yellowish orange color, not too orange, but yes yellowish orange and more of this orange color, a little bit dark orange, and just applying to the area, which is the background. The background is almost done. We have just filled the background and now we will do some more detailing in the background. But before that, we'll do the whole background than the middle ground and then the foreground. Just applying first a little bit more of this color, this violet color to make it a little more towards the violet side. Just adding this rose color and then just blending it with this violet color. Just adding more of this hot pink and adding this And blending the color. As we go down, we have to blend it like this till we feel that the color is very perfect, and the color should not be very thin. Otherwise, you will not be able to look like the opaque color. We don't want a transparent color. We want a opaque color. Take a water on your brush and grab the colors and just do it. Like that, you will get a very nice and opaque background. Again, the below part, I've just mixed the hot pink with this lemon yellow, and I'm just filling it up. Just a dark, nice color, which is orange color. And as I will go down, I will add a little bit more of pink to it. I'll not mix the colors, and I will directly add pink to it, and I will just apply this color to this s area, which is a very pinkish color. Now let's do the lower foreground in this. We will be using. Again, a flat brush, the mix of this yellow black and a little bit of the rose color. You can see this color, which has come up. Very olf type color it is. It's just filling this whole ground area with this color. Just making the color a little bit more dark so that it looks more brighter. Just adding the colors below. Finally, our whole background has been done, whole blocking has been done. Now we will start with the detailing. A little bit of detailing. First, I'm just grabbing this pink and this rose color, and I'm just creating a line, which divides the background and the middle ground. And taking a little bit more of this violet and adding these water textures as we did in many of our paintings previously, as you have seen. Just adding some textures in this water part. Little bit more of darker textures, making a line in between to give a little w thing. Just creating lines. O 32. Beach Vibe Part Two: Welcome back. Now let's do this detailing. Again, I will be using my fan brush, and with black color. I'll just add some more detailing to it. Just taking some darker color on top first. Again, damp brush, you have to use whenever you are using for textures. If the color is very dry, you can add a little bit of water to your color, but if the color is not dry, it is a little bit of milky. No need to add any water to it. Otherwise, you'll not be able to create such textures. Dam brush and Some textures I've just added here, just to look a little bit of grassy, and then we will be creating some clouds. Very simple clouds, these are very simple with my same brush, that is the filbert brush, I will be creating some clouds, mixing some violets, some hot pink, and some black. Making a little darker in color. So a little darker texture. And with my filbert brush, I'll just create some nice beautiful clouds. Again, here, don't use too much water. Because if you use too much water, since you are laying on top of one color, the color, which is below, it will start reactivating and don't smudge the colors much. You can see I'm just dabbing the brush since the brush is round in shape from above, so you can easily create some beautiful clouds with this. So don't smudge the colors if you're trying it with cau, if you're trying it with acrylic. You can always smudge it. But when you are doing it with cauch, all these precautions you have to take because these colors get reactivated with water. I've just added a few clouds here and there, some simple clouds, and then I'll add one sun in the center. You. So you can see, I have just created some clouds. Now I will add a sun in the center. So let's take some colors, that is the lemon yellow and white mix and just add it in the center. So taking a little bit more of white and just adding a little bit bigger circle. And just adding some nice reflections below with my white and a little bit of yellow color mix. Thick color. S. Whenever you're creating any textures, try to use thick colors, don't use thin colors. So now again, I'm taking my flat brush and creating some nice clouds which are yellow in color. Some few little clouds here and there. So I'll just take a little bit more of this lemon yellow. And with my flat brush. Again, the damp flat brush because you don't have to overdo it on top of the colors which you have used. I think this brush is a little bigger in size. So just taking again this color and just applying it on top of the sides of the this sun to the sides, just adding a little bit of this yellow color. T to the sides, mixing a little white and just adding and dabbing the colors. You can see I'm not smudging it much because if I smudge again, the colors which are below it will get reactivated, so don't smudge it. So now using my round brush, I will add a little bit more of this medi yellow to the outer part and this lemon yellow and white mix to the lower reflection. You can see how bright and vibrant it is looking. So this is our last painting of this 15 days session. So just taking my black color and my rigger brush to create some nice palm trees. So palm trees, I think all of you know how to create now because we have created so many palm trees in our previous classes, as you have seen. On of the palm trees we'll add here also. And Yes, I'm making a little bit thick. So one good news for you guys, that this is not your last class. One more class, I will be adding, that will be the bonus class for you. Don't worry. This is not your last class. I will be adding one more bonus lesson so that you get more hands on to this gh painting, especially the landscape painting. So I hope you guys are enjoying this series. It's mostly I have tried to use the vibrant colors because I love doing landscape which are very vibrant and with sunset and sunrise. So I've tried to cover each and every part in this so that you get all hands on to the entire landscape details. Just adding few lines and then I'll create the leaves. Same way which we have done it earlier. Similar way, we will be creating some lines. Again, it should be in liquid form, the color. If you're using the color in the thick form, it will not create such fine lines. Try to use the colors which are in liquid form. I just simple fine lines I'm creating over here. So I hope you guys enjoying this series of 15 days challenge. 15 days cosh painting. I will be coming up with acrylic painting also so that you gets hands onto the acrylic paints as well. Mostly, that will be for bigners. I'll be doing the whole scratch from the color mixing to the color blending, everything. I will be doing in my upcoming classes after this. So just enjoy this class for now. If you are trying out this painting, do tag me on my Instagram, that is Mini Art Gallery and share your reviews as well. Just outlining and creating some nice fine lines, some curvy lines. The more you practice all these types of painting, the more you get hands onto this, the more you will see every day you will see some improvement in your painting. Like it's an experience which I have been through, which I used to paint every day for almost two, three years. And then the painting, which I've done on the first day and the painting till now, what I do, I see a drastic change in them. If you will practice it and if you'll do it daily at least for 30 minutes, I think you'll be able to do a really good painting in about six months or so. It all depends upon your practice. Just adding the final details. You can see how vibrant this painting is looking when I have added this lemon yellow below. Little bit textures I'm adding to this tree trunk. Adding some reflection of this tree. Simple reflection, not too much. So it's almost complete, and I'll just add a few more nice reflections to it, and a little bit of grassy textures. Little details matters in the painting. Yes, this painting is almost complete. Just adding a few more small grasses here and there. Yes, it's almost done. Just a little reflection. I want to make it a little triangle in shape. So it's done. Let's take out the tape and see how it looks.

Thank you so much, each one of you who have joined and who are still watching, so really means a lot to me. Yes, this is the entire painting, and thank you so much. 33. Bonus Class Part One: Hello, friends. Welcome to our last class. That is the bonus class. These are the colors, which we will be using, ultramarine, Bonsiana, hot pink, medio, lemon yellow, black and white. Let's first draw a rough sketch, and then we'll start with the painting. Again, the landscape shape I have put and let's start with a simple drawing first with the middle area. I'm just drawing a straight line. Just a straight line. You can either use your scale or ruler for drawing straight line or you can directly draw it. Now we'll draw a little bit of land area, both the sides of the line, the below line which we have drawn. Both the sides, there are some areas, which is the land area, and in between we'll draw the water part. This is like this. Let's first start with our background painting, and these are the colors I've just taken out. All the colors I have just taken out, as you can see, black, blue, pink, yellow, and burncana, and white. Let's start first with the blocking. Here we will again use our brush. We'll just let's see what brush we'll use here because we have to do some circular motion painting. First, I will do the middle circle, which is the sun with my round brush, just taking white and drawing a nice round sketch. As you can see, thick color. When you take thick colors, it is easy for you to blend the colors. That's why I have taken thick color. Now again, this lemon yellow. I will apply all over this white circle. Just a thick color which I'm using here. Then comes the mid yellow, which again, I'm applying and also I will blend all these colors together. But first, I'm focusing on applying the colors. Then I'll just take my pink color, which I will mix it with this mid color to make it a little orange, and you can see this orange color. When you mix hot pink with this mid yellow, it turns out to be a very bright orange. As you can see here, it is so bright the orange. I've just drawn the orange part and giving a little line below also. And just creating a one line which I have made with my pencil. I'll cover this again, this area with this nice orange color. Little bit of white also I will mix to mute the color a little bit, and just filling this area first, the below area. Here you can use your flat brush, but it will be very difficult for you to create the round circles. That's why I have used here the round brush. I've just created the below part, and after that, we'll start doing the above part. The above part, it is a little darker in color. I'll just take my flat brush and this timarn color. Mixing it with a little bit of hot pink to make it a little bit of purplesh shade. Not too much towards purple side, I want. I want a little bluish color only. I'm just covering the above area with this. Now, I need some water, as you can see, the color has dried a little bit. This is how we decide how much amount of water we need. When we see that the color has started becoming try, then we take water on our brush and then we use it. Above, I have just applied this blue color. Then we'll take this pink color and first, we'll wash off our brush, and then I'll just take this pink color mixing with this white and I'll apply below this blue, I will try to blend this color with this blue. As you can see, I'm just trying to blend this color with this blue color. When you blend this with blue color, it will become more to the purish side. Just again, washing off my brush and I will cover this area, which is below. Again, I've taken my fiber brush for blocking this. Just using this pink color. I'm just trying to mix it first, the colors. Now taking little pink and yellow mix to make it a little orange color, and I will blend this color with that pink color. Just trying to blend this color with this pink color. Just making it a little bit more round. Now again, my color has dried. Again, I will apply some water and mix more colors. Again, I will apply below and try to blend the colors with this pink color. Slowly, slowly, we are completing the background and just making a little colorful background and sky with different colors, different background colors. Now we will do this middle portion, which is the circular part. Little bit of blending is needed over here. Just taking a little white and pink mix and trying to blend it with this orange color. Blending is necessary. We don't need a sharp line between any two colors. That's why I'm just trying to blend the colors with some lighter color. This is how we blend the colors, especially in gauche. Now we will blend this part in the middle. First, I've started with center, and then I will go outward, and I'll start blending the color, taking a little bit more of yellow. Very slowly, I'm just blending the color. Now you can see it has become more of a yellowish color, so I will just add a little bit of more yellow and a little bit mid yellow mix. Again, I will add towards the outer side to make it more circular. Just moving my brush in the circular direction and just taking this little pink also and just applying it in the circular manner. Just to give a little circular shape in the center. Taking this pink and white mi and just trying to make it in a circular shape. Now I will just add a little bit of brushes, just damp brush, and I'm just making it more circular, and a little bit of yellow, making it a little more circular inside also, then white in, thick white, I will add it in the center to make it more bright. This is the background which we have done. Bit of blending is needed. Just with your dam brush, also, you can blend the entire area. Don't use too much of color if you have already applied thick colors. If you have applied thin color, obviously, you have to need more colors. But if you have applied thick colors, you don't need any color. You can only use your dam brush and just blend the entire thing. This is how we do the blending. Now we will do the lower part as well as the detailing, Little bit of the lower part. Let's start. 34. Bonus Class Part Two: Welcome back. Now let's add the water background. First, we'll use again this blue color mixing a little bit of black to this and little white because I don't want a very dark color. I'll just fill in this area with this grayish, bluish color, which is there. First, I'm just using the edge of my flat brush so that I keep that straight line, which is coming above. With your flat brush, first try to create that straight line, and then you can start filling this color. Just a simple straight line, which is there above. Then after that, you can just fill in this color. Just taking this nice bluish color and filling it above. Again, I will just wash off my brush and I will add a little bit of lighter color that is that orange color which is there in the sky because again, the sky water is the reflection of the sky. I'm trying to create that. Just adding this orange color below. Just filling the colors, and after that, we will do the detailing. Just filling the colors. Just make sure that the blue color is not on your brush. Otherwise, whole thing will turn out to be green. These things you have to keep in mind when you are doing, especially the color, which are opposite complimentary to each other because when they combine with each other, the color turns out to be gray. Keep that in mind when you are using such colors. Now I'm just taking this mix of this light color and just filling the area, which is a little bit empty. I'm not smudging the color over here. I'm doing it very lightly so that the color doesn't mix with the other color. Now I will add some details to it. Just with my same flat brush, like we did earlier, the detailing. Again, I will make the color a little dark and I will start creating textures on this. Just same technique which we used earlier, same technique I'm using here, and I'm adding small small textures first on top with this darker blue color. In all the landscapes, most of the techniques are same. You just have to use your own creativity and add your own textures. Just you can see I've just fill in this whole area with this darker blue. I will also add some textures in this area, which is the orange one. Adding some textures over here as well, just filling it. Now, this is one of the way to combine the two colors together, how we can blend the colors with textures. This is the way how we can do it. I've just filled this whole area with this texture, as you can see. Now I will create the reflection of the sun below. Just taking a little bit off again this color. I will first add the textures which are there just below the s, some nice light textures, just below it, and then I'll start to more textures onto it. First, I've added the same color texture, which is below so that it gets a little bit blended to each other. And then just few textures in this light area as well. Filling it with these small small textures. Now taking this lemon yellow and white mix, I will add a nice texture just below this sun part. Just taking it down. Now this texture should be thick, then only this will be more vibrant. Again, adding a thick white texture onto this part. What we are doing here is we are just the layering the colors one over the other so that the texture becomes more prominent. That's what we want over here. Now I've just added the texture of this. Now I will add a little bit of color to both the sides just by using burn Ciena and black mix. Just taking again this flat brush and just covering this area. With thick color of this burn Ciena and black mix. Just filling it. It's not a smooth finish. We don't want a very smooth finish of this texture because this is a land part. Same thing we will be doing on the other side as well. One side is done, we'll do the same thing the other side as well. Almost a blocking is done, little bit of more of detailing is left, and then we are good to go with this painting. Just filling this entire thing without leaving any gap, just filling this area with a nice texture of this. 35. Bonus Class Part Three: Welcome back. So let's start with further detailing. Again, I'm taking this darker color, a little bit more darker and just adding few more details to the sides. Adding a few more details so that it looks a little bit more vibrant and a mix of different colors. Little more darker values I'm just trying to add to the sides of the water, which is blue area. The more laying and the more detailing you do, the more real and beautiful your painting will look. It's very small, small details, which matters a lot when you do such kind of paintings. Do it very carefully with patients. Don't do it in a hurry. Every time whenever I do one painting, every time I always tell you guys that do it with full patience, don't complete it in a hurry that you have to complete it. Just take your time and do it. If it is not completing in a day, take one day, two day, three day, it's your choice. It's your creativity, that how long you are taking. That it's how long you are taking to do it. It's okay if you're taking one week of time to do this painting, it's completely fine. But do it with full th and patients. Then you will see the result. It will be really very beautiful. You can see I've just covered this entire upper area with darker color. Now again, I will take a mix of this yellow and pink. Again, I will add a little bit more brightness to this yellow orange area, which is there. Just adding a few more orange part. Every, small details matters over here, I'm just adding a little more white to this to make it more bright. Now let's take a little bit more of this yellow and orange mix and add a little bit to the sides to make the water a little bit more towards a little bit area is this orange shade is there here and there. That's what I'm just trying to reflect over here. This is the background of the water painting, which we have done. All these small details matter. Now we will do these all grasses which are there on both the sides. Just adding white and this burn sienna and giving some textures of grass to this. Make a color little fluid because I don't want the damp color, little fluid and just with the tip of the brush use this texture. Don't do it too wet, it should be semi fluid, not too much. Otherwise, it will not give that effect. Very little fluid should be like a milky color, then these textures will come up. Just adding some textures to the outer area, and then we will be doing more textures in the center. As you can see, I've just added small textures like this, and then I will create some bigger grasses which are there. So I will just take a little bit more of this color, which is this orange and orange color and add little textures to this area to give more vibrancy to this area. I don't want a very dark color. So just giving a little bit textures of orange so that it looks like that some orange light is being highlighted over here as well. So that's why I'm giving a little orange texture to this area. Now, when you're adding this texture, make sure your brush is not wet, it should be a dam brush, then only add this texture. Now we will add some grasses over here so that it looks more nice when some big big grasses are falling like this. In this area, I'm just mixing this orange color and this brown color and a little bit of black is also there. Just turning my painting upside down and using my rigger brush. I'm just making nice fine lines, some small, some big lines. Both the sides, I will be filling up with these fine lines, some are big, some are small, like this, which are bending towards the sun. Like this, I'm just making very fine lines. Now, make sure when you're making these lines, your color is a little liquid. It should not be thick color. Otherwise, you will not be able to make this fine lines. Color should be liquid when you are doing any liner thing. Just make fine lines. I hope you guys enjoyed this series of 15 days challenge, and this is the bonus lesson, which I'm teaching here. To share your reviews, try out your project. I would love to see them, and don't forget to share your reviews as well. Just adding some bigger lines. You can also tag your projects on my Instagram that is Moheni Art Gallery. Just you can see I have done on one side. Similarly, I will be doing on the other side as well. Again, taking my colors and just drawing the lines. I don't want very darker lines. That's why I have mixed this brown color with this black. If you want to use perfect dark brown color black color, you can use it, but I wanted the color to be similar so that it looks like that these lights some orange lights are being reflected on these grasses as well. That's why I don't want this to be a perfect black color. This was the reason why I have mixed this brown to this. Just adding a few more lines and we will add some details to the long grasses which are there. When you do upside down, it is a little easy for you to make the grasses. But it is not possible when you are doing it on a wall. But yes, if you're doing it on a paper or canvas, this is possible. Just rotate it in correct position and just lines on top of it. Very small lines on top of it. I will be filling all these grasses with these small lines, small textures. Some are having textures on both the side, some are having on one side. It's your choice, how you want to do it. We're almost completing this painting and with this painting, we will end our 15 days, this landscape painting. I hope you guys enjoyed this, and if you haven't tried it out, please do try it and do share your reviews and projects. I would love to see them. H and we'll soon be meeting in our next class. Just added few textures here, and this is almost one. Just a few more textures are left, and you can draw on the smaller ones also if you want, or you can just leave it like this. It's your choice, little bit of this white I'm adding in the center to make it more vibrant, especially on the top, more orange. This is a never ending task. You want to correct it and correct it. We'll leave it like this. I think it's quite good. Just remove your tape nicely and for this landscape painting, you have to decide your name, what name you want to give it. With that name, you can just submit your project work. I'm not giving name to this painting. I'm just giving a bonus class name, but you can decide your name. This is it. Thank you.
