About This Class

A new exciting series for Procreate, painting Gouache-style Effects. We're starting this series of with a Winter Impressionism. Together we will be painting a lovely winter postcard using a very limited color palette and just one brush.Is that even possible? Yes, for sure.

This Class will show you how to approach painting with Gouache in Procreate, while focussing on the overal landscape without getting bogged down by all kinds of details. The end result is very impressionistic, a style loved by many. I'll share my approach with you on painting an impressionistic postcard. Easy to follow and not hard to master once you've gone through this Class.

You don't need any experience in painting, drawing or sketching or even Procreate. I'll show you all the secrets you need. Now if you know all or some of these things already, I'll still definitely recommend you going through this Class, the impressionistic part alone will be interesting to discover. I'll show you how to set up the canvas, create a color palette, sketch, paint and add the icing to the cake. The sketch is provided for those of you who really don't want to sketch, but start painting right away. The needed photos and finished artwork as a guide are included in the Project Section as well. The sketch is a Procreate file in both EU and US paper formats.

Now let's pretend our Apple Pencil is a Brush and start painting...

Transcripts

1. Introducing the Class: Welcome to go wash, Procreate postcards. In this new series, we're going to paint, as you can guess, some wash postcards in Procreate. We're going to go through various seasons in this series. And in this first-class, we're going to start with, we're going to paint a quick impressionistic wash painting in procreate. We're not going to paint a highly detailed paintings were radical to give me progression of the landscape and paint that on the one week from reading. Now for this series, you do not need any experience painting and drawing, not even in procreate. I'm just going to walk you through everything you need to be able to create a beautiful car wash painting input. Wash painting is a lot of fun, but we're going to add a little bit of a challenge to it. We're going to just paint with one brush and limited set of colors. I'm going to show you that one brush Procreate already has provided and just a few colors, you can create a beautiful, lovely. Now as usual, I'm going to take you step-by-step through this process and show you how I approach painting. Wash. Well, I ready for some fun, ready to create a beautiful postcard? Ready to start a series of postcards? Then I would say, move to the first lesson where we're going to start out and enjoy painting together. 2. Starting up: Welcome to the first lesson. We're going to start up our painting. For that, we're going to set up a campus. We're gonna do a color palette. I'm going to show you how to create a color palette. Really easy. I'm going to show you which brush we're going to use. There's actually only one brush. And then we're basically ready to paint. Now attached to this class, you will find the photographs are used as a reference. Also, you will find my sketch, and you will find the finished painting. In the next lesson, I'm going to show you a little bit about sketching. But if you do not want to do sketching at all, then you can even skip that lesson and dive into painting right away. Okay, let me first show you how to set up everything to work in Procreate, you obviously need a iPad that supports Procreate. I'm using the Apple pencil. You take that with it, and I've already started procreate. Now attached to this class you will find two files. One is called Winter gouache postcard US, and one is called Winter goulash postcard, EU. So one is for the European Union, one is for the US sizes, the postcard sizes. But what I've done, I've unlatched them. So postcards is smaller. So my post US postcards, e.g. is 12 inch by eight inch one. Normally it will be six by four inch, I think, around that size. And the U1 is to 920, 9 cm by 21 cm, while that would be ten by 15 cm normally. But in case you want to just decide to print it larger, you can do so scaling down is very easy, but scaling up, we'll just give you some quality issues. So we're going to work in a slightly larger size. All of these are set on 300 DPI, so they're good to go, good to print. And I've set that up. I'm going to work in the EU size. The other thing you're going to need is photograph. And there's two photographs with this class. This is the one we're going to work on and there's a second photograph. And this photograph, this one is for the projects. So for the project, you can paint this one, but for the class, we're going to use this one now. Actually we're not going to use use it. I'm just following this as a rough guide. So let me go back to procreate. And I'm going to start the European size. And you can work in the US size if you need a different size than that. Or of course you can make your own size. And I've set up this sketch already so we can start painting right away. If you don't want to sketch. If you just want to go paint right away, then I would say skip the first lesson where I'm going to show you a little bit about sketching and then go to the second lesson, but stick with me for now. Aside from the sketch and the reference image, we're going to need a color palette. Now, I've already prepared one so you can download it, but I'm going to show you how to create your own color palette by using some cops. We're gonna do some codes. I've got it here. But the first thing you need to do it, you need to press this. So you press on. Bring your palette stop by pressing on the color that is chosen. You hit this Plus and you create a new palette, whatever palette you want to create. Now, I'm going to go to the old palette because I need these numbers, but you have now an empty pallet. So I'm going to pretend my palette is empty. You press on the disk again, you get here. The next thing, instead of working on the disk, what you're gonna do, You're going to press value. You see all kinds of sliders in numbers. We can ignore them. We're going to need this here, the hexadecimal code. So my black is one-by-one. We won't be, I'm going to remember that number. I'm going to change the color there to a different color. What you're gonna do is you're going to tap there. You're going to remove everything and say one, we want b1b and you enter and you see that the color changes to black. Now that color is not in your color palette yet, you need to press one of these empty squares and dare you, colorists do the same for the next one. So if we go to the white, the white color is f, f, f, f. That means it's not a pure white. It's just slightly off-white because if it is pure white, it will be all F's. You're going to type in that number, press Enter and hit on an empty spot, and you get the second column. The third color is yellow. When 40 yellow, I have F6, F6, 06, and you don't need to type that hashtag. That does it automatically. So F6, F6, 06. And for the gray we're going to use I have a number, 9096. I was gonna say 96. That would work too, but let me do it in Numbers 969-69-6096. Yes. And for the last color to blue, we're going to use 65dc, F, F type in every number. Add them to swell if you're not already done so and then the Canvas is set up and we're ready to paint. Well, that's it for this lesson. We're ready to start sketching or painting depending on what you prefer. So either skip the next lesson and use my sketch or go through the next lesson where I'm going to show you just quickly how to sketch such you seem really easily. Alright, see you in the next lesson. 3. Sketching: Welcome to this lesson. You've chosen to discover a little bit about sketching before you start painting. Now most of the time, people paint a painting, sketch what they want to paint. Now that doesn't need to be a highly detailed sketch which takes hours no, really quickly, we can set up a sketch which gives us a guide how to paint this landscape. And of course, in this lesson, I'm going to show you that. Okay, let's get started. If you don't want to sketch, just skip this lesson, go to the next one where we actually start painting sketching. Now, what you could do, you can sketch in two ways. Let me add a canvas to this. Let me hide this for now. What you can do, you can press on this ranch. You're going to say Canvas and you're going to say reference. So you tap that slide that over. You get your image which you are working on by now. But for now it is totally wide. Press Image, import an image. And it's going to bring up your calorie beverages. You pick the image and now this is my reference. And I can move this around. You can do that with the pen. Pick it up just on top of it. You can move it wherever you like. You can enlarge it if you need to. Just pick the corner and it enlarges. And now you can zoom in and zoom out just like in procreate. You can zoom in, zoom out in this image. And once you've got it on the size you want, you can basically start coloring. So what you could do, you pick, pick a pencil, go all the way down where there's pencils drawing somewhere there drawing, sketching, sketching, pencil, HB pencil doesn't matter that the color doesn't really matter though I prefer some gray, not the same gray as in the image. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go to this disk. I'm going to make it slightly darker gray. And with this pencil I've got it set on his largest so that it is a nice stroke. And she just can start now painting. And just regard, look at the photo and say, okay, my horizon line is about one-third is down. Then right on top of it, we have this line there and we have that hill there. And there you go. And right there we've got these now this is in the way you can move this around. And then we have the trees right there. And as you can see, I'm sketching that in. I just want to know where everything is and you just do the water. And that is simply the first way you could sketch, use this as a reference. The second way, of course, is you could use a second screen or a computer or your phone and put the image on there, put it next to your iPad and just draw the two. I'm going to hide this for now. If you really don't know how to sketch, what I'm gonna do with this is what you could do to again, hit the wrench, add, insert a photo, take that photograph, and then say Fit to Canvas. And depending on the size of your canvas, it Eda fits or doesn't fit. So what you're gonna do is take one of these corners and actually make sure it does fit. There you go. And then hit the arrow. Now what's there? And what are you gonna do next is with this layer, you're going to just lower the opacity, something like this. Add a new layer on top of it when I hide that first sketch. And now you could start sketching the major items too. So really easy, like that. A don t have to do this sketch accurately. It just, it is a sketch. We're using it as a rough guide where we're going to paint by all these clouds. You don't need to do the sun, you don't need to do you just do the major parts so that you have this sketch, not even the reflection in these bushes. You want to make sure you pretty much know where every main line is. And here's something that is really about it. And that's all there is to sketching. And once you're done with sketching, you can eat a height your sketch, or you can slide it over to the left and say Delete, and now it's gone. And then you get a sketch. Once you're done, you get the complete sketch, something like this. Just a simple sketch where you can work from. And we need that sketch as a reference in our paintings so that we don't have to go back to the reference every time I paint everything. Now we have a nice guide and that will help us to speed up painting. Well, that's it. We've got our sketch ready. We can start painting. In the next lesson, we're going to get that gouache brush. And we're going to start painting this beautiful postcard. 4. The Sky, Horizon and River: We're ready to start painting. We set everything up. We've got a sketch, so now we can start painting the landscape on the postcard. What we're going to paint in this lesson is the horizon. We're going to paint the sky, and we're going to paint the river, also, snow on the trees. We're gonna do in different lessons. Let's start painting the sky, the horizon. And now we are both have the sketch. What we're gonna do is we're going to work under the sketch. I don't want that go away. Under the sketch. We're going to add a new layer. It's going to add it on top of the sketch, of course, and I'm going to move it around. Now. Whatever name that is, you can give this a name by pressing on it, say Rename, type in a name, whatever this will be, this will be my background. So I'm going to rename that back the limit right away. Do that. That is the first layer, the sketch we're going to keep on top. I've got some extra layers which I'm going to remove now. Those are those extra sketches from sketching lesson. What we're gonna do is, I'm going to lock this, probably going to do it a little bit more, less strong. So around 60% set the opacity, slide it over to the left and say lock so that I cannot accidentally paint on my layer the background. What we're gonna do is really easy. We're going to not paint the background. We're gonna just add that blue color. So we're tapping on the blue color. And we're going to slide this over, let it go and let it fill the whole layer. There's another way to do this. Let me clear this. Undo. You can go to the layer, tap on the layer and say Fill layer, and it's going to fill it with that same color. So that's two ways about this. I've kept this blue color. That will be my underpainting, the color which I'm going to use for the shadows of the snow, for the sky and for the clouds a little bit. And over this, I'm going to paint. We could do this the other way, round two, as I've done with my own painting class, you could actually paint in the shadows, but we're going to use the reverse process for this. We're going to actually add a white. We've got our background. Now, the next thing we're going to need above the background, I'm going to start with these batteries and the mountain and hill, right? I'm going to bring back actually my reference. Let me do that. So as I've shown, I'm going to keep that reference up here. There you go. I'm going to use that as a little guide so that I at least have faint idea where things are going. Well, move it a little bit better, good. I'm going to start with the background, so we're going to use the black color to do, actually do the black, the background. Now, normally I wouldn't use black squiggly, but for this painting to do it quickly, that works. And we're going to need, of course, a paint brush for that. We're going to go to the standard brushes all the way down scroll if you have lots of own brushes and they're going to painting. And there's a good wash brush there and we're going to do anything with the squash bus. Just select it. I can do it of course. Then you get a different screen. Select the gouache brush, and then we're ready to start painting. We're going to just use one brush, probably way too small. So I'm going to say around what is it, 14, 15, 12 per cent. That's good. Yeah. That's, that's a good stroke. Then I'm going to start with this mountain and see, yeah, I'm good layer, I might call this layer first and name. These are the hills, let's call it hills, the streets there, but that will do for this. Now if this gouache brush, if you press really hard, you're going to get a very firm stroke. If you press really soft, you can get C, as you can see, keep the pressure low. You get a very light stroke. And we're gonna make use of that. Because gouache, you can layer in real life too and you just can put layers on top of it. But we actually may do a little bit of blending later on. So I'm going to start with these mountains. And I'm first going to paint in my first layer. There you go. And I might want to go here right away, lower seven, about seven per cent. To add this in. There, we hope that there's not a good stroke. I don't want that. We're going to just make sure we're adding the background there stat going to add in this tree. So I'm just going to press a little bit like this, gives the impression. Little bit of the trees there. And you can probably say, well, that is really quite black. I do agree that is quite black. But we're going to solve that in a minute. Now with gouache, what I will do, instead of getting this black, I would get a very dark gray or mixing. A little bit of white or yellow. Yellow is even nice with the black to get just slightly different tone. So there you go. I'm going to take an eraser. For an eraser, I'm using a brush and hard airbrush, medium heart, heart, airbrush, medium heart is good too. I want to erase bits. 20 per cent. Get a little bit of a better horizon line. There you go. Now, I know there's some more trees here. Can go smaller, 5%. And as you can see, I'm just dabbing the same, so I'm not making these strokes. I'm dabbing them a little bit in to get a little bit of color nuance. Now, that is good. Alright, let's see the trees. Now I got the smaller one. A little bit of that impression of trees, they go, okay, the next step I'm gonna do this is too dark because if I now will do the tree over it, you actually wouldn't see the tree, so that would fall away. And the three we're going to do with black to what I'm gonna do. I'm going to change the opacity. So instead of adding mixing in a different color, I'm going to just change the opacity to 77%. That is fine with me. Behind this, we're going to have, of course, the clubs entered the sun, the sun setting. So what we're gonna do is under the hills, I'm going to create this and I'm going to rename this. I'm going to say sky, but it's gonna be scary. And some, what we're gonna do next is we're going to pick that gray color. And let me hide that reference for now. Good. I'm going to put my brush first on large to see what's going to happen. And we're going to just type in like that. An interesting sky. We could just simply do it like that with a huge one. Just quickly create a sky like this. And what I want us, perhaps some extra smaller clouds. So I'm now on 22%. There you go. I want to make sure a little bit of the blue gets through. The next thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to pick my yellow color. And just at the bottom here, where the sun is, I'm going to press hard and the rest, I'm just going to press softly or what we could do to change the opacity, 48%. That's pretty decent, I would say. And for this, I'm going to bring back my reference a little bit to see what's happening on the lower end of my brush, 67 per cent. So that at the bottom, I'm going to create this nice color and read a bit around the mountain to, and I may wanna do it a large chicken and carefully add some here and there in the sky. So not with that strong color, but still on the opacity nicely down to add some Diego and there we go. The next thing I'm gonna do, I'm gonna take that white. I'm going to leave the opacity down. I'm going to say the brush slightly larger, around 34 per cent. And we're going to add some white here and there. And just creates a little bit more interesting. And I'm painting this in a little bit around here to get a little bit more of an interesting sky. And there we go. I think that's pretty interesting. And we're going to add a layer on top of this. I'm going to call this the river. Renamed, let's say the river. And I'm going to now look at the reference again. And I'm going to say, okay, this river has some of that yellow in it, has some of the gray and it reflects the sky a little bit. It has the reflection of the bushes in it. I'm gonna start with some of that yellow. And I'm going to lower this brush to 14, 15%. And I'm going to bring in that yellow color and still have my opacity down. And I'm going to paint in. Just a little bit of that yellow reflection. Now I'm going all the way up again. I'm going to 8% is good. And I want to create a little bit of a stronger reflection right here. Right there. And I'm just looking at this reference a little bit. Even lower, six per cent. And I would say around here, I want some yellow too. And you already get right away the sense of a landscape. And with a bit of a larger brush, 12 per cent, bringing the opacity down again to around 50%. I want to add some of this color on the snow to just a little bit. There we go. And around here, I can see that in the image to bringing it in a little bit. And there we go, That's good. Now, I'm going to take that gray. I'm going to leave that opacity down and I'm going to add some gray to the water. They go painting that in a little bit. Especially around this part here where I can clearly see it. I need a smaller brush. There you go. And there we go. We've got some interesting water. I'm going to put that brush all the way up. I want I'm going to do I'm going to bring in the shoreline check limit chips three per cent is good answers. In a minute. We're going to go over it with the black tube. But for now I'm going to just create that shoreline. There we go. And now let me do it around there too. Okay. And let me get the size of nine per cent and now why hardly pressing on a little bit of paint there. Okay, I'm going to hide the sketch. I don't want to look at my painting. I'm going to say, okay, back to the free per cent, five per cent, I missed the connection. Definitely there. This I'm going to leave like that. It's good. Day ago now look at our landscape, see, we're already getting a bit of a landscape. The next thing I'm gonna do, one change to black. I'm going to go, I think 1% is good. And I'm just going to bring in that line. You see here very roughly two to get, add some shadow to it. There you go. And around here. I'm gonna do exactly the same. Creates some of that. Did he go? I want it right on the dare to extended that you can see that the river is going there. And we opened, I don't want that line. And we have some mud here. Alright, good. Now the next thing, the last thing we're gonna do, we're going to add a little bit of white here and there. And I'm leaving it on the 1%. We could actually under the black, just a little bit of white there. And here To, under it. Just to make it slightly more interesting. There we go. Alright, now I want some in the water too, but I don't want that 100% want to put it back to 50 per cent. I've got it on, I'm about 11%. And we're going to add some of these clouds in it. And now I'm not pressing, I'm mixing this in just a little bit. We could do some blending two if we wanted to. But for now I think I'm okay with this. Alright? And now, if I hide the reference to, you see that the landscape is already appearing. Well, this is already starting to look like a painting, but of course there's a lot missing. We need to add a lot more things, but the status there. So in the next lesson, we're gonna do the snow. And then already this painting starting to look a lot nicer than it does already. Alright, see you in the next lesson. 5. Painting Snow: Since we have a winter landscape, we're going to need some snow, of course, that is what we're gonna do in this lesson. We're going to paint the snow. Now I said already, you can approach this in two ways. Either leave everything white and add the shadow, but we've chosen to add the background color. So we need to actually start painting some snow. And just with two colors, a little bit of help. Perhaps of the blue, we're going to create the snow. Well, let's start. The next thing we're gonna do. We're gonna add our snow. We need the white color. Or you might have to white color there. We're going to add a new layer. And we're going to need that above the river. And we're going to rename that snow. And there you go. Now I'm going to bring back my sketch. Because on the sketch, I have this hill clearly and I want some snow there, here and there. I need some snow. So let's see. We've got, of course, the gouache brush tool. I've got it on opacity and its regular size. What we're gonna do is around 13%, I would say. And I'm going to start around here, create the snow on this bend in the river. Bend in the river, but on the ground, the little bit of the hill here. I'm just going to paint in this. I'm not going to use a uniform like nice stroke like that. No. I want some variations where I would do some longer, some short strokes. Just add a little bit of variation between the strokes. Even lift up the pen and stipple a little bit. And that would be, this first part. Must go a little bit higher. There you go. The next thing, I want some snow behind there too. But alone want to cover everything. I'm fine with some of that blue coming through. And I want to make sure that I'm going to bring in some of the yellow later on to again. Here you go. Now I'm going to use some longer strokes. And there we go. Now over here does it a little bit of a hill. So I'm gonna get my size to four per cent. And now the hill, but something that's slightly higher, we're gonna go to the gray. 1% is good. And under the snow layer, I want to just add a little bit of a line and add it here to the ego. And I may want it. Let's see, I'm fine here. And that's picker. Add a little bit more here on six per cent, or that's better. Good. Play a little bit with it around here to just bring in some variation of strokes and call us even behind the hill here. There we go. Might be slightly too strong that part, but I think we're okay. Okay. Going to definitely add a little bit more here. Really create that multi-part. I may want to do slightly there to there is kind of a hill here. Let's bring back the reference, Diego, despite here on the here. So we're creating a little bit of this part where these lines are too. And I want to create a little bit of the hill here. When I hide the sketch for a minute to see what I wanna do differently. One, and a little bit of gray as a shadow here on the hair to add a shadow line. Good. Now we're gonna go with this gray to 50% again, so that I can add some better nuances of shadow to create a little bit better of a river bank here. Getting the idea, you're going up a little bit. Alright, I think that is good. And around here I'm noticing it is darker. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to add more of this dark color here. But to create some interests, since all the interests is pretty much on this side, what we're gonna do is we're going to add a little bit of yellow here. Just let that sun reflect and it's not really there in the photo, but it creates a little bit of a point of interests around this slightly boring area. Otherwise, I'm going to go to the black and I still have it on 50%. And I want to, that's too high, too large. Five per cent. Want to add a little bit right there. Just create a little bit of sense of depth in it. And here I want to do that too. And I bring my sketch back so that I can see where I want that, around here and around there. Okay. Now, that's the painting for now. See you and it's starting to get structured. Starting to look like a quick painting. In the next part, what we're gonna do is we're going to add our bushes and our tree. Or should I say the grass and it's more grass. Grass and the tree will be added in the next part. Now our landscape really looks like a landscape. We could leave it like this, but it's kind of boring. It needs something to draw our attention to. For that, we're going to paint the trees. We're gonna do that together in the next lesson. So I'll see you there. 6. Adding the Trees: While our landscape looks pretty nice, we're still missing that focal point. We're missing those trees. We're going to paint those trees and a little bit of the grass bushes together in this lesson. Let's start while we're getting a bit of a landscape already, but it's an empty landscape. We need a focal point. And the focal point, of course, in this photograph are these trees and this part here. And you get a nice composition like this with some in the background here, some nice in the foreground here. A little bit of focus here so that it's not all empty on this side. Alright, good. We need to black. I already have the black. I want to put the black actually unblock. Don't think I wanted to dead launch two per cent. Let's give two per cent dry. I'm going to bring back the sketch now. I'm going to paint in yes, these trees, I'm going to look at the photo, what domain trees around here. So I've added that's too thin. Let me test the size. Six deaths. I might even go 77 is good for the main tree. So I only added the middle, little bit of the middle of the trees. This is the outside. I know that this is the outside too. And I don't want to go Yeah, it does is good. Not that low, but I can do that. And there we go. Now here's three. And what we're gonna do is we might hide for now the background. So we can focus on these trees. And now I'm seeing that I'm making If mistake, I'm working on the snow. I want to remove my tree. Yep, I do make mistakes to pay attention. First of all, let's add a layer above the hills because this will be the foreground. Yes, I totally forgot that. I'm going to call this the trees. And there's more on it than the trees only. But now I'm going to paint the trees. So I've set it on black. I've set this on seven per cent I wanted on. I've set the opacity totally onto the highest and we're going to start with painting the trees. So these are the main trees. There's one. We're gonna make it slightly thicker in a minute. Here's a tree, Definitely. Then we have a tree right there. Let's not go that high. Let's check. It's going to get thinner at the end of the world, we're going to find them anyway. This one goes like this. And then we're having a three right there. Good. Now already see that already changed the whole image. And we're going to just do these trees on the bottom figure as trees go. Here too. Alright. She can see I'm not even regarding callosum. These are ***** ***** trees here. Some of them aren't. But we're not going to do color since we're working with the contrast. I picture is going to be quite dark. I need to get rid of that for now. So that is not in the way. Next thing is I'm going to lower my size 4%. I like that and we're going to need some of these main branches. And from here, I'm following my sketch. Then I am following now the photo. I just want to give the impression. Here's one. Let's see this one. We want to make like that. This one a bit thicker. Get one out of here. Let's do this one not all the way because I'm gonna go thinner in a minute than I am now. Let's add the history here a little bit better. The tree is going in front of it. So I want that to go in front of it. There you go. Alright, Do I have all of the main branches? I think I do. Let's go one lower 2%, 2% is nice. And now I'm going to add some more branches. This is thicker, so I may just as well at some more strokes right here. Let's double, don't want that. And let's add some extra branches here. Alright, we do want some branches and not just have an empty space. There you go. Alright, good. I think for now I'm okay with this. Let's see. We're going to add that grass that is here and bring that reference back again. Might zoom in a little bit, gonna do this clump of grass that I want right there. And yes, again, I'm going to go really rough. And let's see. I'm going to go to 1% at some finner to it creates a little bit of a variation on my go-to per cent to first. That's good. And then behind there on the other side? Yes. Definitely some there now and that's not good. When move those over there a little bit further, then more like hair on top. Let's create a little bit of a small hill right there. Now I'm going to 1% adding in some extra branches. On a little bit. This is a little bit random. There we go. Just create a little bit of an extra focus. We could do a few branches here to go a little bit stronger than two per cent. Out of here. Some branches there, maybe here. Now go to the lower one. That's not good. Let's stay with the two per cent. Yes, I like that better. And there we go. Good. And now we're getting a winter scene. Now let's add some grass right there too. Some of that dried crown grass. And see there is a little bit around it. Let's add a little bit around here. Now there's a bit of a darker spot there. I'm going to go to, again to 50%, say around 5%. And around here, add that little bit of a darker spot in. There. There you go. I wanted to and on the hair a little bit too for the shadow. Let's add a little bit on this site and two that you go. And now we're creating a difference between the back and the front. But carefully, don't press too hard. Lat long strokes like this. Keep them a bit light. And that is not a good stroke. I'm going to remove that. There we go. Now look at that. We're getting a painting. Alright, now we need, of course, a little bit of a reflection. I'm going to keep it on 50 per cent. I'm going to add a new layer for the reflection. There you go. I'm going to actually call this reflection to say that in Dutch or a flux here. And let's call it reflection, but let's not reflection. Is it? Good? That is better. I missed. I needed a wrong letter. And what we're gonna do is we need the reflection of this. That's not that big, of course, 2%. Some fine with keeping that on 50 per cent, but I don't want to go a buffer the shore line. So I'm going to erase where I'm going to go over the shoreline, I'm going to erase that. And again, this is really, as I see, a reflection, an impression of the reflection on the bottom here. Shadow. Go for some of these thinner one's good. I think we're doing fine like this. Let's see. We're getting there. I think we're getting close to the end like this. Now, you could do a lot more branches, you could do less branches. I think I may want to put some more branches. I'm leaving this action on 50 per cent, going back to the 2%. And I might just add here and there, just some random branches. And by keeping this on 2%, sorry, under 50 per cent, right there. We're adding interesting effect. A little bit of a depth as if it is smaller. So there you go. I think I'm okay with that. Except for around here, we might extend these a little bit to enter and there we go. Alright? Now, if you want to do more work on it, please do so. If you think, fine with this, Let's hide the sketch for now. And you say, yes, I like the painting the way this. Then you can move to the next lesson, which I'm gonna do two. And the last lesson, we're going to add a little bit of effect to the trees, because now it's kind of boring. We need to make sure they stand out from the specialty, from the background. That's the last part we're going to do. We've got something that draws our attention now, do trees, but we can improve on this in the next lesson, what I wanna do is the final lesson. I want to add some light effects. Give some attention to a little bit more snow, especially on the trees. And then we have a finished gouache painting. 7. Light and Snow on the Trees: We're almost there. This is the last lesson. We're going to add some light effects to the trees. And I want to also add some snow to the trees to proof this painting even more. Now it's kind of plane. We have some black trees, but we're going to put some light behind it. Judas really give the impression that the sun is going down and just draw even more attention to the trees and just make it all look pretty nice. Alright, well, let's start then with doing that. Let's do the last part. What I'm gonna do is under the trees, I'm going to add a layer. And well, I might just call this effects or light effects or whatever you wanna call it. I still see that. I've still kept the wrong name for this layer. Reflection enter. Okay, I thought I said that already, but apparently pressed undo. Per accident. We're going to add a little bit of reflection behind, not reflection, little bit of a light effect behind the trees. So I need to go back to that effect. I'm going to go for the yellow. I'm fine. I think we're 50 per cent. And what we're gonna do is on the sun side, well, where the sun is setting on this side, I'm going to add a layer behind it, a little bit of a yellow. Let's keep it on the 50 per cent. That is fine. Might go slightly larger for per percent. Speed this up a little bit, and add a little bit of a shine effect to trees like that. Then we have also clue where these trees or I might have to go on from here, but I think we're okay. They are. This tree here needs a little bit. This tree needs a little bit on top of it, this branch then this tree under it. And as you can see, by just adding a little bit of light, we're getting a quite interesting effect. Adh works fine by adding it right there two, alright, not everywhere, but on enough places. They go to get district standout a little bit better than it does. The street each treason one-on-one. Don't wanna do it on every branch, but on some of these branches, there you go. That looks good. Let's go for this a bit stronger. And now we get a nice, very interesting effect, a little bit of a play of light and shadow this way in the water. While we're at it. I want a bit stronger. The sun there. We're gonna do that right there to get that a little bit stronger. Now here I'm fine. I'm fine. What I may want to do is carefully in the water, very softly, add a little bit of yellow to it, creates a little bit of this greenish effects, green and yellow that will mix a little bit. There you go. Let's do a little bit there. That's just perhaps a little bit there. Now, let's do much. Good. A little bit carefully. On the top. That's better. Good. Alright. There we go. A little bit more down there. I like that. Let's add a little bit on this hill here too. And just along the river bank here. A little bit. Dare to know we need some more white here. I'm going back now. I'm going to look at my painting. I'm going to do some more snow, the white on leaving on 50 per cent. I think I want to have a bit smaller size four per cent. I want this to be a little bit better than it is at the moment. They go in here too. I'm a little bit more. I like that better, good. Alright, and it's just a little bit here. The rest I'm okay with. I can leave this as blue as it is. Just in the back. I read a little bit of slow, slow. Perhaps the glass is slow, but maybe I'm painting slow, but this is of course, snow. And let's add a little bit of snow right here, two. Good. How about that? Let's take one look at the photograph. See if we want to change anything. Maybe I want to tone this down a little bit. There you go. I think I'm pretty much fine. If you want to do race, you could bring them in. I don't want them. I don't want them in my painting. What I want this perhaps here a little bit more yellow. So I need to go back to that sky. Get in. That is not yellow. That isn't white, of course. Different color please. Can in yellow here, a little bit stronger in the clouds. Let's see. Might want to have some still behind there. Yeah, Good. Let's add a little bit. On the top of the blue. You go right there. Then refresh. And I think I'm okay with this. Then we have our gouache postcard. Now, the postcard of course, is not this launch, the actual size of the postcard. We get a postcard size. This is a postcard size, will be like this. See, we're pretty close to that. That is the actual postcard size. And on the sides like this, a quick painting like this looks pretty good, doesn't it? So there's our gouache painting. Now, one thing you could change a little bit here. This is now all yellow. We've cut the sky still here. You could do a little bit of white and add a little layer of white right there. And it's still on two per cent. Now I might go to 34 per cent. An ad. Just an impression. Hey, go get the idea of snow on top of even that black. Even there. There we go, That's good. Yes. We could do actually a little bit snow on the trees too, if you wanted to do that. Now the reference has some on a two. So we might just add a little bit of snow here and there. So not where the light is but the opposite side and laying on there, we need a new layer for that. Let's go with this. Under under the effects. Yeah, I don't know. It needs to be on top of the tree. So I guess on top of the trees we're going to add a new layer. And I'm going to call this the traditional cut this on white on 50%, 3%. Let's see. We're going to add just a little bit of snow here where it's laying basically on these branches. Yeah, that is good. And by doing this, we're going to tell the fewer where these trees actually do go like that. Here too. Not, no, no, don't, don't want to call a buffer dead tree on some of their little bit in here. Some snow, snow piling up on these branches. Just a little they're seeing that gives a different idea. Some hair. And we don't actually need everywhere at softy spaces. Little bit on this branch. Also not going all the way. Um, that's good. Alright, little bit more here. If you had some there, That's branches, suddenly somewhere else, then I'm whilst we can do to move this one to create the impression that these branches are actually going out on an angle out of the tree? Oh, I think I'm good with this. Yeah, he's good. Keep on going with this, of course. Yeah. But we're going to stop right here except for perhaps slightly some snow down there. In front of here two and the one that's there too. Alright, now, that is good. Okay, I'm going to put my Apple pencil down. And we're going to say, I'm done with this painting. Well, that's it. Our painting is finished. Looks pretty nice, doesn't it? This is a great postcard. Senator. Friends, family showed online. Just a fun impression of a landscape without getting into all kinds of details, but still making really clear what it is. Well, last lesson is the project really going to give you a nice challenge in the projects. So see you there. 8. The Project: Now for the project, I'm going to give you a challenge. I've attached a second photograph with another landscape, slightly different than this one, wrote. Now of course, some trees in it, so they'll go for housing the background. I challenge you to paint this painting as a project to see once you have picked up from the lessons and to apply that. Now, if dead house, perhaps a little bit of a challenge, you could just leave out whatever element you want to leave out, changed a little bit and make it so that it suits the level you're at. You don't have to do the whole painting exactly as the photograph, but give that impression. And if you think something is just too challenging, just leave it out and make it your own. Well, I'm really curious to what you're going to create. So posted in the project section, I love to see it. Definitely your comment on it. As soon as you post it. And I just love to see what you pick up through these lessons I'm giving you. Well, looking forward to that. Thank you for being with me in this class. Don't forget the small Procreate classes I have here on Skillshare. So follow me. Then you get a notification when the new class arrived, the next one in the series, or is look at some of those older classes to keep you busy after you've done the projects.
