Join me in this creative journey and let's get started. 2. Art Supplies: Everybody, before we start, let us talk about all the art supplies in detail, which you will need for this particular class. As you can observe, I have placed all my art supplies in a systematic manner so that I can give you all the details carefully. Let's talk about the paintings first. As you can observe, it's a simple square coaster. It's basically a medium density fiber board. The approximate size would be 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters. No need to worry about the size. You can go for any other good alternative as well. You can also experiment with the shape. Here I have the coaster without painting, You can observe it carefully, so it's a perfect square in case you do not want to paint. On a coaster, you can definitely go for a watercolor paper. You can use a 300 GSM watercolor paper for painting as well. Now let's talk about another art supply, which is a masking tape. This is basically a two inch masking tape that we are going to use to stick the coaster on the surface so that it does not move while we are painting. In case you do not have a two inch masking tape, that is absolutely fine. You can use a 1 " masking tape as well. Then we have a simple tissue paper on which we can dab the brushes to remove axis amount of water. Then next up, we have the guash colors. The first one is deep green, yellow, green, and radian. These are the three colors that you will need for this entire class. No need to worry at all. You can go for any other good alternative as well. Now let us talk about another colors that are going to be black and white. These are basically black and white G colors. I'm out on the tubes, that's why I'm using the tubs. The next up, we have a simple color palette. It's a simple color palette in which you can take out your colors and mix them Well, make sure that your color palette is having enough space so that you can take out multiple colors on it. The next up we have a simple cup, which is full of water. We're going to use it to clean the brushes and apply water wherever needed. The next up, we have a simple pencil, which I know everybody must be having. We are going to use it wherever any basic sketch or reference line is required. Then comes the most important art supply, which is the brushes that we are going to use. For this particular class, you will need four brushes. The first one is a simple flat brush of size 1 ". Then we have another flat brush which is going to be of size 11. You can observe it's a little bit smaller than the 1 " flat brush. Then next up, we have two round brushes. Basically these are having different sizes. The first one is size six, another one is size four. These are two round brushes that you will need. These are the four brushes that you will need for this particular class. These are all the art supplies that you will need for this entire class in case you are missing out on any particular art supply. No need to worry at all. You can go for any other good alternative as well. Now let us move towards the next part. 3. Lets Practice the Elements: Everybody. Before we start with the class projects, it is very important for all of you to practice all the elements that are required in all the class projects. Here you can observe a watercolor paper of size five. I have just taped it with the masking tape, separating it into three different sections where we are going to practice the background. In the class project, you can observe we have a beautiful gradient background, which we are going to create using multiple gouache colors. We are also having other elements like the clouds, some elements like the house, pine trees, grassy bodies, mountains, islands, et cetera. This particular practice sheet will help you a lot to enhance your confidence and improvise your painting skills. You can observe each and every step carefully so that you get a prior knowledge before starting all the class projects. Now let us start with the first step, which is painting a beautiful gradient sky. You can observe that I have placed all my art supplies nearby so that we can access them in a very quick manner. You can also place them according to your convenience. Now I'll be taking my flat brush of size 1 " and we are going to apply a thin coat of water on the first area which is covered with masking tape. Just apply a thin coat of water and make sure there is no space left between the masking tape and the paper. Now in our flat brush of size 11, we'll be taking the first color, which is going to be radian. And I'm just applying it on the bottom portion. Now while we are applying the color, slowly move towards the above portion. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that you apply the color in a very even manner, and there is no space left between the masking tape and the watercolor paper. You can observe that these are simple horizontal strokes that I'm making using my flat brush of size 11. Now we'll be taking some solid black color. As you can observe in the color palette. Add some amount of water to loosen the color up and apply it on the above portion, You can observe that there is a line of separation between both the colors. Now, simply clean your flat brush and dab your brush to the tissue paper. Make it completely dry. Now apply it on the line of separation between both the colors. And try to b***d both the colors carefully. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply maximum strokes as much as possible and try to b***d both the colors. You will observe that we've got a very nice gradient effect for the first background. Now let us paint another background of another class project. Similarly, in the second square area, I'll be simply taking my 1 " flat brush, applying a thin coat of water in it. Make sure that you have applied the water in an even tone. Now I'll be taking my flat brush of size 11 again, and we'll be taking some radian color again. The steps are absolutely the same. We'll be applying it on the bottom portion. You just have to observe the movement. It is a simple horizontal movement, and slowly you can move towards the above portion. You can observe that we have applied a nice solid coat of Vidian on the bottom portion. Now we're going to apply another color on the top portion, which is going to be yellow green. Take some color in the color palette in case your color is completely dry and finished from the color palette. Now similarly, we'll be applying it on the top portion. Make sure that you have cleaned your flat brush in water. Now slowly move from the top portion towards the bottom area, b***ding it with the radian color. No need to hurry at all. You can simply observe the horizontal movement. Now you can just simply clean the flat brush, make it completely dry onto the tissue paper, and you can slowly move from top to bottom portion, or vice versa. This is how you have to paint a gradient background. Now let us learn how to paint a water body, having a nice depth and details with waves in it. No need to worry at all. It is a very easy and simple step which you will love to explore. I'll be taking my 1 " flat brush again and we'll be simply applying a thin coat of water. You must be wondering why we are applying a thin coat of water. Initially, it is basically known as a wet on wet technique in which we can move our brush with color in a very smooth and natural way. I'll be taking some viridian color in my color palette. Take some amount of water to loosen the color up. Simply, we'll be applying it on the entire surface. We are not creating a gradient effect this time, we are going to apply the viridian color in the entire surface. No need to hurry at all. You can observe the movement of my flat brush. It's a simple horizontal movement. One thing you should always make sure is that whenever you have applied a masking tape around any painting, just make sure that there isn't any space left between the color and the masking tape, because that will not look nice when we remove the masking tape. Now I'll be taking my round brush of size four. We're going to take some yellow grain in it and make sure that you have maximum amount of color and less water in it. In case you have axis amount of water in your round brush, just dab it onto the tissue paper. Now you can observe that I'm using the tip of my round brush and applying these little horizontal strokes. There isn't any particular way of applying these horizontal strokes. You can just create them in a very natural and random way. You can create your own composition. You can decide the position wherever you want to create a wavy depth. I'm just applying it on the entire surface. It's a very random way of applying these strokes. Once we are done applying these horizontal strokes, we'll be taking the same brush and we'll be just applying the horizontal strokes. Again, on the yellow green strokes that we have applied right now, you will see there is a nice b***d between the idian and yellow green color. And this will form a nice wavy depth the entire background. It will give you a nice water body look. Now let us learn how to paint some beautiful clouds for your background. You have to take your round brush of size four and take some solid white color in it. Make sure that you have maximum amount of color and less water in it. You just have to simply create these random horizontal strokes which are very thin. Try to use the tip of your round brush so that you can apply these beautiful thin strokes. Now the reason behind having minimum amount of water in your brush is so that you can get this beautiful rough texture of the clouds. Also, in case you find that there is some amount of water in your brush, you can simply dab your brush to the tissue paper. It will absorb all the axis amount of water and you'll be able to create these beautiful rough strokes in the entire background. You can observe that I'm just trying to create a nice cluster of clouds together. There isn't any particular way, or it is not at all necessary, that you paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition. You can play with the shapes and the sizes as well as you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and organic shape in the sky. You can create it according to your convenience as well. Can observe that I have created the clouds in the second gradient background as well. Now let us paint a beautiful moon. Since we are considering it as a night sky, you just have to take your round brush of size four, take some solid white color in it, and try to paint a perfect circle. Use the tip of your brush to get a correct accuracy while painting. No need to hurry at all. Take your time and paint it. I'm drawing a moon in the water body as well. Just to show you the reflection effect, you just have to use the same brush. Try to make horizontal strokes, the strokes that are near to the moon. You have to make it a little bit bigger. As you move towards the bottom portion, just decrease the size of the strokes that you have made. We are done practicing the back grounds that you will need while creating the class projects. I'll be just simply removing the masking tape so that you can observe them carefully. This is basically a practice sheet, that's why we have applied a masking tape so that we can get the exact backgrounds that we need while we are painting on the coasters. We are not going to apply the masking tape, It's absolutely fine. Now, in one of our class projects, you can observe the landscape area, which is basically some mountains and the landscape area together. How to create them? You just have to take your round brush of size four, simply apply outline, creating this natural landscape area which you can have your own variation, shapes and size as well. Once you create the entire outline, we are going to fill in solid black color inside, which is going to create a nice fill out for the entire landscape area. While creating the outline, we get the exact idea of the topmost surface, how it is going to be. Now once we have created the outline, I'm just filling it solid black color inside. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that you have sufficient amount of color in your brush in case it gets finished. You can just take it some more from the color palette. Also, in case you find that the color is a little bit stiff, you can add some amount of water in your brush. This is how you have to paint a beautiful landscape area. These are not basically mountains, these are basically the irregular surface of the entire landscape area. I hope that you got the exact idea of how you have to paint the landscape portion on the bottom area. They're going to create some nice depth also. But before that, let us paint some beautiful mountains which are In this particular crass project, the steps and method is absolutely same. You just have to create the outline using the tip of the same round brush of size four. No need to hurry at all. Just make sure that you create the outline carefully. Now, once the outline is done, we are going to fill in solid black color on the inner portion, since mountains also generally have a very natural shape. You can also play with the shapes and the size of the mountains that I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition as well. It is not at all necessary that you paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can observe that we have painted the entire mountain area. You can just simply observe that there is no space left where you have to apply solid black color. Now let us move towards the next element which is the plantations that we have on the bottom portion of this particular class project. I'll be using the same round brush of size four and you just have to simply use the tip of your brush. Take some solid black color in it. Using the tip of your brush, just try to create this nice leafy outline. I'm using the tip to create this beautiful outline for this particular plantation. Now to convert this into a beautiful fill out, we are just going to fill in solid black color inside the entire surface. No need to hurry at all. Try to use the tip of your brush to paint in difficult areas. This is the first type of plantation that we have on the left hand portion. Now let us paint another plant body, which is on the right hand side. You can observe I have just created a small landscape area on the top portion. Just use the tip of your round brush and just apply these little strokes. Once you move towards the bottom part, you can just apply some more pressure to create some bigger thickness. This is how you have to create this particular plantation. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Now we have a beautiful country house. In this particular class project, you just have to create a landscape area on the bottom portion, creating a beautiful outline on the above portion using the tip of the round rush. Now once the outline is done, we are going to fill in solid black color. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that you apply the solid black color in the entire surface without leaving any space. Once we are done with the landscape area on the bottom portion, let me tell you how you have to paint the beautiful country house that we have right now. In case you find that the color is finished from your round brush, just take some amount of water and simply loosen the color up in the color palette. I'll be simply applying the outline for the entire country house. Starting with the roof portion, you just have to create these two slant lines creating the entire roof. Now simply create the outline of the walls on either side and simply fill in solid black color on the inner portion. Use the tip of your round brush to paint in difficult areas. No need to hurry at all and make sure that there is no space left on the entire watercolor paper. Now, using the tip of the same round brush, I have just created a small chimney on the right hand portion of the roof. Now let me also tell you how you have to paint these beautiful pine trees. In this particular project, create two simple vertical lines. Start from the top portion and just increase the size of the strokes that you're making from top to bottom part. Use the tip of your brush to create these beautiful strokes, which are basically the leaves of the entire pine tree. It is not at all difficult, just try to practice as much as possible. So now comes the main part which is creating this beautiful texture of grass, which is giving a nice grass effect. In all the class projects, this is a very beautiful step and it is not at all difficult. We are going to create this texture using two colors basically, which are going to be dian and yellow green. I'll be using my round brush and I have taken some good amount of idian in it. You just have to use the tip of the round brush and you just have to dab your brush to the landscape area in order to get a nice texture. Make sure that there is no amount of water in your brush. You just have to make it completely dry. So dab your brush to the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed and simply make this beautiful texture on the landscape area. We are not going to cover the entire black surface that we have painted. Just apply it on the topmost portion and you can come a little bit lower, but no need to cover the entire black surface. It will not give you that great depth and detail for the entire sill out. Now you can observe that using the same method, I'm going to apply this beautiful grassy texture on the mountains as well. I'm just applying it on the topmost portion, only no need to cover the entire surface area. Once we're done with the Viridian color, we're going to make it a little bit more attractive and give it a nice contrast between the black and the green color that we are applying. Right now, I'll be taking my yellow green color now. This time we're going to apply it even more, less than the Viridian color. Just try to make a nice combination on the topmost portion. Apply it on the upper part only. You just have to use the tip of your round brush and simply dab it in a very minimum pressure so that you can get this nice, beautiful grassy texture. Now you can observe that we have also left some space between the plantation and the landscape area. That will give us a nice contrast and the shapes will look even more perfect. We are almost done giving a nice grassy texture to the entire landscape area. Similarly, we have applied this texture on the elements that we painted on the right hand portion. Now in the country house, we have a nice window. Just take some solid white color in your round brush size four, make a perfect square In the center portion, you can use the tip of your round brush to paint a perfect square. Let it dry for a while. Now using the same round brush, clean it well in water and just take some solid black color. Just try to make the outer frame a little bit perfect by applying horizontal and vertical stroke. And using the same brush, you can create one vertical and horizontal stroke, creating a nice frame in the entire window. This is how we have created a nice practice sheet, which is a prior knowledge for all of you to learn all the elements and how to paint them in detail. This particular practice sheet will help you a lot to increase your confidence and develop your painting skills. Now let us move towards the next part. 4. Lets Place the Coaster: Body. Before we start with the class projects, let us learn how you have to place your Coaster to the desk that you're using while painting here. As you can observe with the art supplies, we have the Square MDF coaster, which is a medium density fiber board. You can observe that I have placed my art supplies nearby, but we also have to place our coaster. Well, you can observe that I have just used a masking tape on the back side of the entire coaster so that we can place it in a very careful manner on the entire desk so that it does not move while we are painting. Let me tell you how you have to apply the masking tape. Here I have my masking tape of size two inch. We are just simply going to take a small portion out of it now you just have to simply fold it keeping the sticky part on the outer portion. We just simply convert it into a double side tape. You just have to place it on the back side portion of the entire coaster. You can just use it as a double side tape. For this particular coaster, I have already applied two parts of the masking tape. You just have to simply place it wherever you are comfortable to paint on to the entire desk. Once your coaster is placed, just apply a little bit of pressure on it so that your coaster will be stuck with the desk surface and it will not move while you're painting. This is how you have to place your entire coaster to the desk. Now, let us move towards the next part. 5. Painting 1 - Country House: Everybody, you're most welcome to the first painting, which is a country house. As you can observe, we are ready with all the art supplies and the square coaster. Just simply take your 1 " flat brush and apply a thin coat of water on the entire surface of the coaster. No need to hurry at all. Apply a good coat of water on the entire surface, make sure that there is no space left. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique in which we apply a thin coat of water. Initially, when we apply the colors, the brush can move smoothly on the entire surface. This will also help us to get a nice b***d of colors in the background. So now I'll be taking my size 11 flat brush. But before that, let us take the colors in the color palette. So the first one is deep green. Always take colors in a required amount. No need to take lot of color in the color palette. The second one is yellow green. Let's start with the first color, which is going to be solid black color. On the top portion. I've taken some good amount of color in the flat brush and simply apply these simple horizontal strokes on the topmost portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the color in a good manner so that no space is left on the entire coaster. Now simply clean the size 11 flat brush and dab your brush to the tissue paper that axis amount of water will be removed. In the flat brush, take some deep green color and start applying it just below the black color that we have applied initially. So you can observe that we are applying these horizontal strokes. And I'm slowly moving towards the bottom portion. Now we'll take the third color, which is radian in the color palette. Now simply mix the color well in the color palette using the same size 11 brush. And apply it just below deep green color that we applied. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the color in a very slow and steady manner. Make sure that there is no space left on the entire coaster. Now you can observe that we have applied all the three colors slowly. I'll be moving towards the top portion, towards the solid black color that we applied. Now since we want to create a nice gradient effect, we are going to b***d them together. The best way of b***ding is to make your flat brush completely dry by dabbing your brush to the tissue paper and slowly b***ding the colors together. You can already observe a nice gradient effect. I'm just simply cleaning my flat brush and I'll be dabbing it onto the tissue paper to remove axis amount of water. Now slowly from the bottom portion, we'll be moving towards the above portion. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that you do not leave any space in between. Try to b***d the colors in a good way by applying maximum horizontal strokes. This will help you to get a nice b***d of all the colors together. Now we will leave the background to dry completely. Now let us paint some beautiful clouds in the entire sky. I'll be taking my round brush of size six. We are going to take some solid white color in the color palette. You can dab your brush to the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed. You can also add some amount of yellow green to make it a little bit tinted but not that much. Now simply, we are going to paint some beautiful clouds on the entire background in case you're not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly to your final painting. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrap of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. This will help you to develop some confidence and enhance your painting skills. You can observe that we are making some beautiful horizontal strokes which are having variation in sizes. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and organic shapes in the sky. There isn't any particular way of painting them. In fact, you can create your own composition and shapes as well. It is not at all necessary to paint it in the exact same way I'm painting. You can play with the position. You can also have some nice variation in the sizes as well. This is basically a basic technique of painting them. I'll be making my round brush completely dry by cleaning it up in the water and dabbing it onto the tissue paper. Once you make it completely dry, you can reapply it on the clouds that you painted with solid white color and b***d it with the background. This will take a lot of patience and time for painting. No need to hurry at all. Take your time. You can also shift to a smaller size brush, which is a round brush of size four. Make it completely dry by dabbing it to the tissue paper. You can observe that we are just trying to b***d it with the background, creating these little horizontal strokes to get this nice rough texture just you have to keep in mind that, try to have a nice dry brush and make sure that you do not have axis amount of water in your brush that will not give you this rough texture. Also, it is not at all necessary that you paint the clouds directly to your coasters. What you can do is that you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper, initially, by creating some good compositions. And it will also develop your painting confidence. It will also help you to enhance your skills. Then you can come towards your final coaster painting. You can already observe that we have created a nice cluster of clouds. On the entire right hand portion. Now similarly, we'll be adding some clouds on the left hand side as well as in case you find that your brush is a little bit more dry, you can add a little bit of water, but it should not be in a axis amount. Using the same steps, we're going to add a cluster of clouds on the left hand portion as well, creating these beautiful horizontal strokes, which are having variation in sizes. While painting the clouds, make sure that you do not hurry. Just take your time. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Have some patience. I'll be adding some clouds on the topmost portion as well, where we have the b***d of deep green and black together. Right now, you can observe the beautiful composition of the clouds that I have created on the right hand side portion, left hand side, and the topmost portion. This is how you can create your own composition as well in case you want to enhance some clouds on the middle portion. You can add some solid white color as well on the middle portion to create some vibrance. That is also absolutely fine and no need to worry about painting it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own natural shapes as well. You can observe that we have painted the clouds in a very beautiful manner. I wanted to add a few more clouds on the bottom portion as well. I'm just trying to take a little bit of white color and I have added it on the bottom portion now using the same round brush of size four. Take some solid black color in your color palette, dab it onto the tissue paper so that you can remove axis amount of water. We are going to paint the landscape area on the bottom portion. Using the tip of the round brush, I'm going to create the outline of the entire landscape area. No need to hurry at all. Try to create the outline in a very slow and steady manner. Once we have painted the outline, having some nice variation in the entire landscape, we are going to paint solid black color in the inner portion. While we are applying solid black color in inner portion, just make sure that there is no space left on the entire coaster where we are applying this solid black color. In case you find that your brush is a little bit stiff and you find it a little bit dry, you can simply add some amount of water in the color palette so that your brush can move a little bit smooth on the entire surface. But there should be always a balanced quantity of color and water together. We do not want to compromise on the saturation of the solid black color that we have applied. Now you can observe that we have applied the entire surface with solid black color, which is the landscape area. In case you find that there is any space left, you can simply fill in the color. Now let us paint some beautiful pine trees on the right hand side portion. Just simply make a vertical line. Now we are going to start applying these little strokes from the topmost portion coming towards the bottom area. As we move towards the bottom area, you just have to simply increase the size of the strokes that you're making. To make these beautiful strokes, which are replicating the branches, you just have to use the tip of your round rush. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Now, similarly, I'll be painting one more pine tree just beside the first one, but it is going to be a little bit smaller than the first one. I'll be just making a simple vertical line. Start making these little strokes from the topmost portion come towards the bottom area and simply increase the size of the strokes that you're making right now. This is one of the most easiest way to paint a beautiful sell out of a pine tree. You can add a little bit of strokes on the ground area as well. Now let us paint a beautiful country house To paint it, just simply take your round brush of size four. Take some good amount of solid black color in it. We are going to start with the roof, creating the outline of the entire country house. I'll be just painting the slant lines on either side. Once we're done with the roof area, we are going to paint the outline of the walls. Just simply make these two vertical lines on either sides to get a nice sharp outline, just use the tip of your round brush, it will give you a perfect outline. And then simply fill in solid black color on the inner portion of the entire house. This will give us a nice fill out of the entire country house. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that you paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Also, make sure that there is no space left between the outline and the solid black color that we are applying inside. We can also create this plantation just beside the entire house on the right hand portion. Now let us add one more pine tree on the left hand portion. I'll be simply making a vertical line. The steps are absolutely same. You just have to make these little strokes from the top portion towards the bottom area. As we move towards the bottom portion, just simply increase the size of the strokes that you're making. You can observe that we're done with the entire sill out, which is on the entire bottom portion. Now simply to add some nice detail in the entire country house, I'm going to add a little chimney on the right hand side roof using the tip of my round rush. Once we are done painting the entire elements on the bottom portion, we're going to add some nice depth using some radian color. I'll be using my round brush of size four and we're going to create a nice grassy effect on the entire landscape portion. In my color palette, you can observe that I have added some amount of water to loosen the color up and it is basically radian. So you can dab your brush to the tissue paper to remove axis amount of water because we want to have more saturated color rather than water. You can observe on this rough scrape of paper, you just have to dab your brush in this particular manner to get a nice grassy effect. We are going to create this beautiful grassy effect on the landscape area. But we are not going to cover the entire black portion that we have painted. We're just going to apply it on the topmost portion. And we'll be just making this nice grassy effect by dabbing the brush. You just have to dab your brush and create this nice grassy effect on the topmost portion. You can decide the position and the portion where you want to apply this nice grassy effect according to your convenience, but no need to cover the entire black portion. It will not give us beautiful depth that we want to create. You can observe I'm slowly moving towards the right hand portion by dabbing the brush onto the surface. And I'm leaving the pine trees and the house on the above side there. We are not going to dab the brush using the idian color. You can also slowly move towards the bottom portion, but no need to cover the entire surface. You can observe that we have created a nice grassy effect on the entire landscape area by just dabbing some idian color. You can also observe the beautiful contrast it creates with the black background. Now, in order to enhance the entire texture, we are going to take the same round brush. Just simply clean the brush and dab it onto the tissue paper, make it a little bit dry. This time you're going to take some yellow green. You can observe that we're going to apply it on the topmost portion where we applied the grassy texture initially. Now this particular color creates a beautiful contrast with the Viridian color that we applied. You can observe the composition of both the colors together and it enhances the entire landscape portion, makes it a little bit more attractive and aesthetic. These steps are absolutely same. You just have to dab your brush to the entire surface, this time a little bit less than the first one which we did with the Dan. Now you can observe a beautiful contrast between the solid black background and the grassy texture that we have created right now. In case you're not that much confident enough to create this grassy texture directly to your coaster. You can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. Now using the same round brush, I'll be taking some solid white color in it and we're going to paint a beautiful moon in the sky by creating a circular shape. You can use the tip of your brush to paint it in a very accurate manner. Now using the same round rush, you can enhance the chimney by adding a little vertical line on the right hand portion. Now we're going to paint a beautiful window on the center portion of the entire country house. Take some good amount of solid white color in your round brush and try to paint a square shape on the center portion. Now to make the window look a little bit more attractive, just take some solid black color in the round brush and just make the frames a little bit perfect. By adding these horizontal and vertical lines. We can also add one vertical line in the center portion and one horizontal line. You can observe how beautiful and aesthetic the window looks. Once you add these details to it, we are done with the entire painting. Now slowly, I'll just remove the painting from the desk. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed creating this particular coaster and got to learn something new. It's a very simple, easy and elegant painting which we have created, combining few minimal elements together. Now let us move towards the next painting. 6. Painting 2 - Vibrant Beach: Everybody, you're most welcome to the second painting, which is a vibrant beach. As you can observe, I'm ready with my coaster. I'll be using a simple pencil this time to create a horizon line which is going to separate our sky area and the water body. Initially, we are going to paint the sky area. I'll be taking my 1 " flat brush and simply applying a thin coat of water. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that you apply even coat of water by not leaving any space on the entire coaster. Since we are painting the sky area, I'm going to apply a thin coat of water on the sky area only which the above portion of the horizon line. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique in which we apply a thin coat of water initially, so that our brush can move in a very smooth manner on the entire surface. Now in the color palette, I have taken some radian and some yellow green. We are going to start by applying radian on the above portion of the horizon line. I've simply taken my flat brush of size 11. And you can simply observe these horizontal strokes which are very easy and simple to make. Just try to take some good amount of color in your brush. In case you find that your brush is having axis amount of water, just simply dab it onto the tissue paper. That axis amount of water will be removed. You'll have a good saturated amount of color in it. You can observe that I have already applied 34 portion of the entire coaster in the sky area with radian and the topmost portion will leave to paint it with some yellow green color. You can observe I'm just dabbing my flat brush onto the tissue paper so that I can remove axis amount of water. Now similarly I'll be taking some yellow green color in the same flat brush and we'll be applying it on the topmost portion, slowly moving towards the bottom area, b***ding it with radian. You can observe the horizontal movement that I'm making right now. The more horizontal strokes that you make, the better b***d you'll get altogether. Just make sure that your flat brush is dry. Now let us paint the water body, which is just below the horizon line. I'll be taking my 1 " flat brush. Again, applying a thin coat of water initially, which is basically a wet on wet technique. Make sure that there is no space left on the entire coaster. Try to apply a nice even coat on the entire surface. Now to create some nice depth and details to the entire water body, there is a very easy and simple technique that we're going to do. I'll be taking my size 11 flat brush. Take some good amount of radian color in it. Make sure that you have more color and less water in it. Now simply just apply just below the horizon line. You can use the tip of your flat brush to paint it in a careful manner. Now completely cover the entire surface with radiant color. In case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, you can just dab it onto the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed. Now to create some nice depth in the entire water body, I'm going to use some yellow green color. I'll be taking my round brush of size four. Take some good amount of yellow green color in it to have less amount of water and more color. And simply make these horizontal strokes on the vidian color that we just applied. As you all know that waves are in a very natural and organic manner. There isn't any particular way of applying this particular strokes. You can just randomly and in a very natural way, apply these particular horizontal strokes. Just try to use the tip of your round brush to get these thin strokes on the entire surface. Right now, you can observe that these strokes are in a very good contrast with the background color. We are going to b***d them together. I'll be taking my same flat brush of size 11. Clean it in water, and dab your brush to the tissue paper. Make it completely dry. And again, apply it on the entire surface of the water body. Now this time you will observe that the thin strokes that we made with yellow green color, we'll get a nice b***d with the viridian color that we applied in the background. You just have to make sure that your brush is dry. Apply these horizontal strokes and you'll get a nice b***d, creating some beautiful waves in the entire water body. Now let us paint some beautiful clouds in the entire sky area. I'll be using my round brush of size four. Take some solid white color in the color palette and dab your brush to the tissue paper to make it completely dry. Now you have to just simply apply these horizontal strokes in a very random manner, having variation in sizes. As you all know that clouds generally have a very natural and random shapes which are really beautiful to create. There isn't any particular way of painting them. It is not at all necessary that you paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition. You can decide the position of the clouds as well in order to get a nice rough texture and to make the clouds look a little bit more realistic and aesthetic, just try to dab your brush to the tissue paper so that it is completely dry. And you can just b***d it with the background as well. You can observe that I'm trying to create these horizontal strokes in a very random way, only there isn't any particular way of painting them slowly. You can observe that I have created a nice cluster of cloud on the left hand portion. I'll be just extending it on the right hand side as well to create a nice composition of clouds together in case you're not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly to your final coaster. What you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, this will help you to develop some more confidence and enhance your painting skills. And then you can come towards your final painting. You can observe that I've added some more clouds on the top portion as well. Now similarly, we'll be creating a nice cluster of clouds on the right hand portion as well. The method and steps are absolutely same. Just try to take some solid white color in your round rush and dab it onto the tissue paper to remove axis amount of water. Get a nice b***d together and get this nice rough texture, creating a beautiful cluster of clouds together. You will slowly observe that the background green color will also help you a lot to create this beautiful rough texture of clouds altogether. Also, make sure that your brush is completely dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper. It will help you a lot to create this nice rough texture. As you can observe, we are done painting the clouds. Now let's start with the rock bodies and the landscape area that we have for the entire beach. I'll be just painting a nice rock body just above the horizon line. There is a very simple and easy step. You can use your round brush of size four. Take some solid black color in the color palette. In case you find that the color is a little bit stiff, you can add some amount of water. Use the tip of your brush to create a beautiful outline of a nice mountain or a rock body. Then you can fill in solid black color in the inner portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Make sure that there is no space left in the entire portion that you're painting right now. This is how you have to paint a beautiful rock body just above the horizon line. We can also add a little bit of rock body on the left hand portion. To paint in the difficult areas, you can always use the tip of your round brush. Now let us add some nice landscape portion. I'll be just adding a horizontal line just below of the rock bodies that we painted, leaving some water body space. As you can observe that beaches generally have a very random and organic shape of the landscape area as well, you can create a nice composition of the landscape area, which is going to be absolutely solid black. There isn't any particular way of painting them. You can create your own landscape area as well, making some beautiful composition of lands together. You can observe, I have created a nice outline, creating a beautiful landscape area. We have to just simply fill in solid black color to make it in a very good contrast with the entire water body. Take some good amount of solid black color, make sure it is completely saturated. In case you find that your color is a little bit stiff, you can add some amount of water so that your brush can move smoothly on the entire surface. Now slowly, I'll be just covering the entire area up in case you find it a little bit difficult to create a nice composition of rock bodies and landscape area together. You can practice it on a rough scrape of paper, initially. By just experimenting and creating some good compositions. It will help you to develop some confidence and enhance your painting skills. Then you can come towards your final painting. You can observe that we are almost done covering the entire landscape area. Make sure that there is no portion left to paint now to make the entire landscape portion and the mountain bodies, or I can say the rock bodies that we painted look a little bit more attractive and aesthetic. I'm going to add some smaller rock bodies in between the space we left, between the mountains, or I can say the rock bodies and the landscape area. It is not at all difficult. You just have to use the tip of your round brush to create these little rock bodies. This basically creates some nice aesthetics to the entire painting. Similarly, we'll be adding some more rock bodies on the bottom portion of the water body as well. You just can create a beautiful outline and fill in solid black color on the inner portion. Also, you can decide the position of the little rock bodies according to your convenience. We can also create some nice reflection of it onto the water body. You just have to create these horizontal strokes, which are a little bit bigger near to the rock bodies. As you move towards the bottom portion, you can simply decrease the size of the strokes that you're making. Also, in case you find it a little bit difficult to paint it directly towards your final painting, what you can do is you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. I'm just adding these little thin, horizontal strokes near the landscape area. To enhance them, I'll be adding a few more rock bodies on the left hand portion in between the mountain area and the landscape area that we have painted. As you can observe, we are almost done painting the rock bodies and the landscape area. Now let us add some beautiful pine trees in the entire landscape. I'll be just adding a simple vertical line using my round brush of size four. Take some good amount of solid black color in it. Now to paint the complete pine tree, start from the top portion applying these little strokes using the tip of your round brush. As you move towards the bottom portion, you just have to simply increase the size of the strokes that you're making. It's one of the most easiest technique to paint a pine tree using a round brush. Also, no need to hurry at all, Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. We're painting the entire pine tree using solid black color, creating a beautiful sell out, which is just making amazing contrast with the background. You can observe we are almost done painting the entire pine tree. You can create a nice bulk in the entire pine tree by adding some more strokes on the outer line. You can use the tip of your brush to make the entire pine tree look a little bit more bigger and bulgy. Now similarly, we'll be adding a few more pine trees on the right hand portion, just above the rock body that we have painted. The first pine tree is going to be a little bit smaller. You can just simply make its vertical line a little bit smaller in size. And similarly, you can paint the entire sell out of the pine tree. Now let us add one more pine tree which is going to be a little bit more smaller than that. Now I wanted to add one more pine tree which is going to be a little bit more bigger. Just simply add one vertical line. This is the biggest pine tree. You just have to start from the top portion. Adding these little strokes, just simply use the tip of your round brush as we move towards the bottom portion. We are just simply going to increase the size of the strokes that are making. We're going to touch it till the rock body at the end portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner in case you're not that much confident it directly towards your final painting. You can simply use a rough scrape of paper to practice first, and then you can come towards your final painting. Now to create some beautiful depth and details and a nice grassy texture, I'll be taking some radiant color from the color palette. Use the same round brush of size four. Clean it up. Make it dry completely by dabbing it onto the tissue paper. Take some good amount of color and simply just dab your brush on the topmost surface of the entire rock body. If we are not going to cover the entire black surface, we are just applying it on the topmost portion. In case you find that your color is a little bit stiff in the color palette, you can add a little bit of water, but it should not be a lot of water. Now. Similarly, we'll be repeating the same steps by dabbing the brush on another rock body. We're also going to add it a little bit on the landscape area. We are not going to apply it a lot, we are just going to add it in certain areas to enhance painting. This helps us to create a beautiful texture. It also helps us to create a nice grassy effect. It also makes the entire painting look a little bit more aesthetic and attractive. You can observe I'm dabbing the same color on the landscape portion as well. There isn't any particular way of painting this. You can paint it according to your convenience to try to apply the dian color in an optimum amount. No need to apply it on the entire black surface. Now I'll be taking some yellow green in the same round brush of size fo we're going to add it just above the Viridian color that we applied. Now this is going to be even less than the Viridian texture that we applied. So you can observe, I'm just adding it on the topmost portion of the entire rock body and you can create this beautiful contrast of all the colors together. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. You can observe how we have created this amazing texture which is almost replicating as grassy effect in the entire painting. You can also add this texture on the smaller rock bodies that we have painted in the water body area. Now I'll be simply cleaning my round brush and we'll be taking some solid white color in the color palette, you have to just simply dab your brush to the tissue paper. Now I'll be just painting a beautiful moon in the entire sky. Just draw a simple circular shape. Use the tip of your round brush to paint this beautiful moon. No need to hurry at all. You can also create the outline first and then fill in solid white color on the inner portion. That is also absolutely fine. Now let us paint a beautiful reflection effect of the entire moon onto the water body. You just have to use the same round brush. Just dab it onto the tissue paper to make it a little bit dry. And just apply these little horizontal strokes. Try to have the horizontal strokes a little bit bigger, near to the moon. And as you move towards the bottom portion, you can simply decrease the size of the strokes that you're making right now. This is how you have to paint a beautiful reflection effect for the entire painting. Now I'll be just adding a little bit of black color near the reflection effect so that we can finish the entire painting. This is how you have to paint a beautiful moon in the entire sky and its reflection effect. Now let us carefully take out the entire coaster from the desk. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. I hope that you enjoyed painting this particular painting and got to learn something new. Now let us move towards the next painting. 7. Painting 3 - Green Mountains: Everybody, you're most welcome to the third painting which is Green Mountains. So as you can observe, I'm ready with my coaster. We'll be using a simple pencil to create a horizon line, which is going to be a suppression between the sky area and the water body. Now simply, I'll be using my 1 " flat brush to apply a thin coat of water just above the horizon line, which is going to be the sky area. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply even coat of water on the entire surface just above the horizon line. This is basically known as a wet on wet technique in which we apply a thin coat of water initially, so that our brush can move smoothly on the entire surface. Now we are going to paint a beautiful gradient background in the entire surface that we have painted with water. Right now, I'll be taking some dian color in my flat brush of size 11. You can observe in my color palette, we have taken some good amount of dian color. In case you have axis amount of water in your brush, Just simply dab it onto the tissue paper, try to have a good saturation of the color and less water. Now slowly move towards the upper portion, leaving some space on the topmost part where we are going to apply some black color. As you can observe the horizontal movement of my brush, you just have to make the simple horizontal movement. We are almost done applying the van color in the sky area. The more horizontal strokes that you apply on the entire surface, the better b***d you get altogether. Now in case you find that there is excess amount of water on the entire surface. Also you can just dab your brush to the tissue paper and make these horizontal strokes again. Now I'll be cleaning my flat brush in water, dab it on tissue paper, make it dry, Take some solid black color again, and apply it on the topmost surface of this particular coaster. You can observe I'm just adding this black color on the topmost portion, creating these simple horizontal strokes, slowly moving towards the bottom part, so you can see a separation line between the radian color and solid black color. We are going to b***d them together. Just simply clean your brush and water. Make it completely dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper and just near the separation line. Make these horizontal strokes b***ding both the colors together. You can observe slowly the suppression line will vanish and you'll find a nice b***d between both the colors. You can take some more dian color to b***d it with black color, because black is having a lot of saturation. In order to get a nice b***d between both the colors and create a nice gradient effect, you can apply as much as horizontal strokes as you want to. You can just observe the movement of my brush. Now, I'll simply clean the flat brush again and make it completely dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper. And we'll be applying the final coat, which is b***ding both the colors together. Start from the bottom portion, just above the horizon line, and move towards the top part slowly. Now let us paint the entire water body, which is going to be just below the horizon line. So I'll be taking my 1 " flat brush again and we'll be applying a thin coat of water initially. Make sure that you apply a nice even coat of water without leaving any space on the entire coaster. This will help us to get a nice, smooth movement of the entire flat brush. Now we are going to take our flat brush of size 11 and we're going to take some nice saturated color of idian. We're going to apply the darker values of it on the entire surface. Just take some good amount of color in your brush and less water. In case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, just simply dab your brush to the tissue paper. Also, in case your color is finished from the color palette, you can add it in the color palette. Just try to take the color in required amount only, no need to waste the color. You can observe. We have applied the entire surface with dian color. I find that there is a little bit of more water on the entire surface. I'll just simply dab the brush to the tissue paper to make it a little bit dry. And apply these horizontal strokes on the entire surface again. Now to create some beautiful depth and details in the entire water body, we are going to take our round brush of size fo take some good amount of yellow green color in the color palette. Mix it well with a little bit of water so that the color can lose In now, we are going to make some beautiful horizontal strokes on the entire surface. At times, what happens is that the color that we take out in the color palette gets completely dried. You can just add a little bit of water to loosen the color, that we do not waste a lot of color. We can add a little bit of white color also to make the color look a little bit more vibrant. Now using the tip of the round brush, we are going to create these little horizontal strokes on the entire surface. There isn't any specific way, or I would say it is not at all necessary, that you apply these strokes in the exact same way I'm applying right now. Water bodies generally have a very natural and organic formation of waves. You can just apply these horizontal strokes according to your convenience. Now we'll be using the same flat brush of size 11. Make it a little bit dry by dabbing it onto the tissue paper and apply it again on the entire surface. We will observe that the lines that we painted gets a nice b***d with the variant color in the background. Now let us paint some beautiful clouds in the entire sky area. I'll be taking my round brush of size four. Take some solid white color in the color palette. Dab your brush to the tissue paper so that axis amount of water will be removed. Now this time we are not going to create a lot of cluster of clouds, but we're going to add some clouds in the topmost portion. You can simply observe these horizontal strokes that I'm making. Having variation in sizes. Clouds generally have a very natural and organic shape. There isn't any specific way of painting them. It is also not at all necessary to paint it in the exact same way I'm painting right now. You can create your own composition and shapes as well. Also, in case you are not that much confident enough to paint the clouds directly into your background, what you can do is you can just simply practice it on a rough scrap of paper initially. Then you can come towards your final painting. You can observe that I'm adding a little bit of clouds on the right hand portion by creating these small horizontal strokes and b***ding it with the background. Similarly, we'll be taking some more clouds on the left hand portion as well. In order to get thinner strokes, you can just simply use the tip of your round brush. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. The reason behind using an absolutely dry brush is so that you can get a nice rough texture. Now I'll be adding some more clouds on the left hand portion, creating a nice cluster. You can also observe that the saturation of the white color is a little bit lighter This time now I'll be taking my round brush again and I'll be taking some more solid white color in it. This time it is a little bit more saturated, so you can see the difference between the lighter tone and the darker tone. Now let us paint some beautiful mountains just above the horizon line. We are going to use the same round brush. Just make it clean in water and take some good amount of solid black color in it. Let us paint a beautiful mountain on the left hand portion. Initially, you can see I've created a nice outline first, and then I'm filling in solid black color inside. You can observe the movement of my brush and the way I am filling in solid black color. No need to hurry at all. Make sure that there is no space left on the entire coaster. Now, on the bottom portion, very near to the horizon line, just use the tip of your brush to create this horizontal line. This is how we have painted a beautiful mountain just above the horizon line on the left hand portion. Similarly, we'll be adding a few more mountain bodies which are going to be a little bit smaller in size than the first one that we painted. The steps are absolutely same. We're going to create a nice outline. Using the tip of your detailing brush, you can create this nice thin outline. Also, mountains generally have a very natural shape. You can also create your own shapes and composition as well. Now, once the entire outline is done, just simply fill in solid black color on the inner portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to apply the color from one portion. For example, I'm starting from the topmost part and slowly I'll fill in solid black color on the entire portion. Also, while applying the color, you can observe the movement of my round brush and make sure that there is no space left in the entire mountain area to paint. We are almost done painting the entire mountain area now in order to create a nice reflection of the entire mountain area onto the water body, we are going to take some good amount of solid black color in the color palette. Add some amount of water in case you find the brush a little bit stiff, dab it onto the tissue paper to make it a little bit dry so that we do not have axis amount of water in it. Now we are going to make some horizontal strokes just below the first mountain that we painted, near to the mountain. You have to make the size of the horizontal strokes a little bit bigger. As you move towards the bottom portion, just simply decrease the size of the horizontal strokes that you're making. The reflection effect will be a little bit more smoother if you apply maximum amount of horizontal strokes. Now similarly, we'll be adding the reflection effect on the mountain bodies that we have painted on the right hand portion as well. These steps are absolutely same near to the entire mountain, just below the horizon line. You have to make the horizontal strokes a little bit bigger. As we move towards the bottom portion. I'll just simply decrease the size of the horizontal strokes that I'm making right now. By adding this beautiful reflection effect, we can create some nice depth for the entire mountain bodies that we have painted. It looks a little bit more realistic and aesthetic to the entire painting. Now let us paint a beautiful landscape on the bottom portion, just simply create a outline using your round brush of size fo. Once we are done with the outline, we are going to fill in solid black color in the inner portion. No need to hurry at all. Try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Now let us add some beautiful plant bodies. We are going to have two types of plantation just above the landscape area that we have painted right now. Just simply use your round brush of size. Use the tip of your brush to create these little strokes, creating a beautiful outline, which is of a plant basically. There can be variation in sizes and shapes. For the plantation that we are painting right now, you just have to create the outline using the tip of your arm brush and then you can fill in solid black color in the inner portion. It is not at all difficult, just try to paint it in a very slow and steady manner. Now let us paint another type of plantation on the right hand side portion. This is also a very simple and easy technique. Just simply use the tip of your round brush to create these leaves where you want the leaves to be a little bit thicker. Just try to apply a little bit more pressure. You can observe that I'm trying to paint the leaves as I move towards the bottom portion, I just apply some more pressure to make the strokes a little bit thicker. This is how we paint another type of plantation. Similarly, we'll be adding one more plantation to cover the entire area up. We are done painting the entire landscape area and the plantations. Now, in order to create some more aesthetics and make the painting look a little bit more attractive, let us add some rock bodies in the water body area. It is not at all difficult, just use the tip of your round brush. Create a beautiful outline of a small rock body in the body area and you can fill in solid black color in the inner portion. You can play with the shapes and sizes of the rock bodies. You can also decide the position according to your convenience. I have placed these little rock bodies just below the mountains that we have painted on the right hand portion. Also, in case you find that there is axis amount of water in your brush, you can simply tab it to the tissue paper to remove axis amount of water. Always make sure that you have a good saturation of color in your brush. We are done painting all the elements. Now let us enhance them by creating a nice grassy texture by using the same brush, which is basically a round brush of size four. Clean it in water, take some good amount of radian color in it. Now using the tip of this brush, we are going to create a nice texture on the entire mountains and the landscape area. It's a very simple and easy technique. You just have to use the tip of your round brush and dab your brush on the outer portion of the entire mountain. In case you find that your color is finished from the color palette, you can take some amount of color. Always make sure that you take color in a required amount, only never waste resources. We are not going to cover the entire black surface. We are just simply going to add this beautiful texture on the outer portion, creating some nice depth and detail. One thing that you have to keep in mind while applying this beautiful texture is that you just have to make sure that you do not have a lot of water in your brush. Make sure that you dab it onto the tissue paper very carefully. That axis amount of water will be removed and you'll be able to create this nice rough texture. Similarly, we'll be adding this texture on the mountains that we have painted on the right hand portion as well. You can observe that I'm not covering the entire black surface, I'm just adding it on the topmost portion creating some beautiful depth. This is how we create some beautiful grassy texture using viridian color on the mountain area. Now similarly, we'll be adding this particular texture on the landscape area. On the bottom part as well. The steps are absolutely same, you don't have to apply the texture on the entire surface, just add it on the topmost portion. Only once this particular texture dries, you can observe the beautiful details. Now, to enhance the texture a little bit more, I'll be taking my same round brush, clean it in water, and we'll be taking some yellow green color this time. Similarly like we did with Viridian color, we're going to use yellow green color this time. And we're going to enhance the elements a little bit more this time. Also you just have to apply the texture on the topmost portion only, and in fact, in a very less amount than the Viridian color, so that we can create a beautiful contrast with the black background. The grassy texture will look even more aesthetic and attractive. You can observe how beautiful this particular grassy texture looks in the entire painting. In case you're not that much confident enough to apply this texture directly towards your painting, you can practice it on a rough scrape of paper initially, and then you can come towards your final painting. We are almost done with the entire coaster. Now let us take the round brush again and take some solid white color in it. I'll be painting a beautiful moon in between the mountains that we have painted and we're going to create its reflection effect onto the water body. It's a very simple and easy step. Just make these horizontal strokes just below the horizon line. Try to decrease the size of the horizontal strokes as you move towards the bottom portion. No need to worry at all. Try to apply these strokes in a very slow and steady manner. We are done with the entire coaster. Let me take you a little bit closer so that you can observe all the details carefully. This is the last coaster. I hope that you enjoyed painting this particular coaster and got to learn something new. Now let us move towards the next part. 8. Class Conclusion: As an artist, I love to explore different art mediums. If you're somebody who's trying to explore guash colors, it's a very interesting art medium. While I was creating this particular class, I made a lot of mistakes, but I wanted to create some beautiful, elegant class projects for all of you. I finally came up with three dense landscapes, which are very elegant, easy, and simple to create. As someone who's very much passionate about teaching, my major focus is always to create some beautiful classes for beginners and intermediate artists who are trying to develop their skills and become more confident while painting. One thing that I always suggest my students is to maintain an art journal in which you can practice on a regular basis so that you can keep a record of your artwork. I'm very happy and excited to share this class with all of you. In case you have any questions or doubts related to the class, feel free to ask them in the discussion section. I'll be very excited to see all of your class projects as well. It would be really great if you leave a review for the class as it encourages me a lot and my class can reach many more students like you. At the end, I would like to say enjoy the entire process. Keep learning, keep practicing. Thank you so much for joining and happy painting.
