Transcripts

1. Introduction: Making elegant paintings using minimal materials is something I'm enjoying these days. Using minimal colors and simple and easy techniques to paint. Bolster colors or something that will give a nice, elegant matte finish to the painting. And we are going to use only two colors for the entire class, which is black and white, basically an achromatic thing. Hey everybody, I'm treated per day. I'm a self-taught independent artist and an interior designer. So in this class I'll be talking about all the materials and art supplies that you will need. To be talking about the brushes and detail that we are going to use. I'll be also giving you the details about the watercolor paper we are going to use to bolster colors, black and white. So we're going to cut an A5 size paper into a perfect square. I'll be teaching you how you can cite, tape, your watercolor paper carefully so that you can get a perfect edge. That'll be adding a nice practice session in which we are going to learn all the elements in detail. No need to worry at all. It's going to be really fun and interesting practice bond. So we're going to start by creating an amazing gradient background, painting the river area. We're also going to learn how you can paint these beautiful rock bodies on the bottom area. No need to worry at all. We are going to create these amazing gray shades by mixing black and white together. We're going to add some minute beautiful details to the painting, which will enhance your painting even more. At the end, I'll be teaching you how you can remove your site tape carefully without tearing up your watercolor paper and the brushes painting that you have made. So without any delay, grab your art supplies and join me. And this is going to be a very simple, easy and elegant project. 2. Art Supplies: Hey everybody. Now let us talk about all the art supplies that you will need for this particular class. So here I have all my art supplies placed. So the first one is a simple black pen, or you can use a black marker as well and a benzene. Now let us talk about the brushes, which are the most important part while we paint. The first one is a simple flat brush. This brush is 1 " in size. No need to worry about the brand. You can use any other alternative as well. Now we have another tool, brushes, which are basically detailing brush. One is of size one, Another one is of size three. So you can see how pointed edges we are having. These are basically round brushes. So these are the three brushes that you will need for this particular class. Here I have a simple steel edge. It is having measurements in centimeters and inches. So we're going to use this scale to cut the A5 size paper into a perfect square. Now let us talk about the colors that we're going to use. So we are only going to use two colors, which is black and white, and these are both Toklas. No need to worry at all. You will find these colors very easily in any nearby local stationery. Now, another one, which is simple, is all that you will need to cut the A5 size watercolor paper. The next we have is a sample of tissue paper in which we can just dab our brushes to remove excess amount of water. Then you'll need a simple cup in which you can have some clean water so that you can clean your brushes. Now in order to get a perfect white edge while removing the site tape, you will need a masking tape. So this is basically a 1 " masking tape that we are going to use. So next we have a simple ceramic palette in which we are going to take out our colors and mix it with, sorry, my palette is a little bit dirty. Then we have the most important part, which is the watercolor papers that we're going to use. So these are watercolor papers from Canson and the most important part is the GSM. So it is 300 GSM, 140 LB. And these are A5 size sheets. So we're going to cut them into a perfect square. Let me show you that sheet as well. So you can see this is another rectangular form, but we're going to make it an a squared. So these are all the art supplies that you will need for this particular class. No need to worry in case you're missing on any particular art supply. You'll find them very easily in any nearby art store. 3. Lets Practice the Elements: Hey everybody. So before we start the final painting, Let's practice the elements in detail so that you do not make any mistake in your final painting. As you can see here, I have my post on the devil painting, which is looking really amazing and elegant. And there are certain elements that we are going to practice. So you can see a beautiful gradient effect in the background. There is a small moon. We have hose and solid black color. We have this amazing mist effect on the level, but we also have these beautiful black rocks. Now one by one, we are going to paint all these elements and I'll be making you learn how you can paint them very easily. So here I have a simple A5 size sheet, which is basically the watercolor paper that I showed you in the art supplies section. And I have given a nice heading of practice sheet, painting, four important elements that we have in our painting. What we're going to do is that we are going to start with the gradient effect in the background, which is in this guy. Here I have my two colors, which are postdoc colors, basically black and white. To color the entire painting, you will only need these two colors. Initially, we will need a simple flat brush off 1 ". As you can see, we are going to apply a thin coat of water initially. You can see I have my practice paper ready, just simply the PR flat brush and water and apply a small thin code and applying it in a smaller area of the paper. Just to show you how we can create these amazing gradient effect. You can see at the area where I have applied water, There's a nice shine of light. In case you find that the water is a little bit more, you can just wipe it off using your brush. As you can see, we have a nice thin coat of water being applied on the right-hand side of the practice paper. Now I've taken some solid black color and we are applying it on the top portion. The first patch is a solid black color. Then we are going to mix it with some white and try to make a nice tone of gray. You can observe the color palette I'm adding a little bit of white. No need to worry if you do not make an exact shade, we just have to make a gray shade. So what happens at times, students asked me that we are not able to create the exact shade. It is not at all compulsory to make the exact shade art is not something like that. You can have some minor differences as well. It is absolutely fine. You can see I have made a nice random gray shade and I have applied it in just below the darker patch on black. Now you can see that that is a nice difference between solid black color and a little bit of gray. Now what we're going to do, just simply dab your brush on the tissue paper and just try to blend the dark black and gray that you have applied below it. So there won't be any line of difference. Now will be taking some solid white color. You can observe the color palette. I have simply taken some solid white color in my flat brush and I'm applying it in just below the grey layer now. So now you can see there is a thin line of difference between the gray and white. Again, we'll simply dab the flat brush on the tissue paper to make it dry and clean and will blend it with the gray. But now you can see there is no line of difference between black to white area. It's not an exact white that is a little bit of gray in it, but it is absolutely fine. You can see how beautiful the gradient effect looks. So now we have our different shade of gray for the area. So you can simply make a nice different color of shade for this river area. So what I'm doing is on my color palette, you can just simply observe that I have tried to add some white and gray together. And I have just simply made a stroke just below the gradient event. In case you find it a little bit darker, we can add some more light to it as well. I'm just trying to make a difference between the skyline and the river. I've taken some solid white color and I'm adding it to the patch so that it becomes a little bit more lighter in tone. So as you can see, we have created a nice patch Modibo. Let me make another batch as well. So I have taken some more white in my palette. I'm adding it on the gray part so that it becomes a little bit more lighter to the shape that we have in the final painting. Basically. Don't get worried in case you're not able to make the correct and exact shade. It's aren't, don't take it that seriously. So somehow we have reached the same shade. Now. I'm just cleaning my flat brush. So whenever I tried to create a practice sheet or any people on which I practice, I always try to label it. So W stands for white, which is on the bottom part, not an exact white, but a little bit grayish. On the middle we have written g, which is gray, and on the top part, black, which shows you the gradient effect with the color that we have. Just give a nice labeling on the bottom part, which is gradient effect. And it also gives me a little bit of satisfaction when I create these types of practice sheets, basically. Okay, so now let us move towards the next part, which is going to be the beautiful river batch, which is just below the gradient effect. So I'll give it number two. And we're just going to give it a labeling of river patch. So we are done with the background patches, which is the gradient effect and the level patch. Now, let us move towards the heels and the rock bodies that we have in this particular painting. No need to worry at all. This is the most easy part in this particular painting. So I'm having my simple pencil. I always suggest students to draw a rough sketch basically, so that you get an exact idea where you have to fill the color in case that you are very much confident enough to paint it directly with your brush, then that is also fine. But if you are a beginner, then I would definitely suggest that tried to draw it with pencil so that you get the exact shape first and then you can fill the solid color inside it. Now, let me draw two more hills just below the bigger hill, which is pointed basically. You can get an exact idea how to draw them and no need to worry at all. It is not supposed to be exact same as you can see in my particular painting. Dry it in a natural way. I have my detailing brush of size three and in my color palette, I'm taking solid black color. Let me show you how you can use this beautiful detailing brush to give a color patch to your heads. So I have made three strokes you can see using the brush and the pointed strokes will help you to fill the color inside the hill. Now once you're done with the outline area, you can just fill in the entire Hill. ****, some amount of water, but not that much also, it will make your color a little bit lighter in tone to try to have more of solid black color, so that looks more dense and darker tone. Now you just have to simply follow the same procedure. I'm just trying to add solid black color inside the hill. So now after painting the entire Hill black, what we're going to do is that we are going to use this theme detailing brush oxides three, which is basically a round brush. I have simply cleaned it up in the water as you can see, and you have to dab it on the tissue paper so that you remove excess amount of water, try to make it dry enough. And now we are just simply going to rub it between the white and the black portion. As you can see, you just have to rub the dry brush or you can just absorb the moment I'm trying to blend it. If you feel that that is a little bit of water in your brush still, you can just make it a little bit more dry by dabbing it into the tissue paper and try to rub it as much as you can. You can see that is a nice blend between the white area and you are just trying to make it a little bit more smoother. The more you rub it on the paper, the more good result you will get it. So this is how you can make a nice mist effect in between the hills and the devil. Now we have smaller hills on the bottom part. Let us paint that as well. So the technique is absolutely same. You just have to take some solid black color in your color palette. Use your detailing brush and you can see I'm using the tip of my detailing brush, which is very much pointed to paint the red, it is very much pointed. Now one thing that I always tell my students to do is that whenever you are going to have final painting, and if you find that you're not that much confident enough to move towards the final painting. Want you can do is you can always take a rough scrape off people first tried to practice the elements and all the details in that. And then move towards your final painting. It will definitely decrease the chances of mistakes. Now finally we have the rock body on the bottom part, which is in that level. So you can just make a nice random shape. As you can see, I'm using my pencil. I've made two amazing natural drugs. So no need to worry, don't take it that seriously. No need to have the exact rock shape that I'm having in my particular painting. I've just drawn a random shape and I'll be filling it with solid black color, as you can see, using the same detailing brush of size three. Let us paint another rock as well. Just try to paint the outline first and then fill in the solid color inside. Now once we are done painting the entire solid color, we are going to repeat the same process. I'll be cleaning my detailing brush, dab it on the tissue paper as much as you can so that Ax is amount of water is removed. Your dry detailing brush will give you this beautiful mist effect that we give in the hill as well. Time just trying to make a nice shadow effect. You can see I'm just trying to blend it with the white paper background and the solid black color. In the final painting, we will be having the background color gray, but here we have light that is absolutely fine. You can see we have this amazing mist effect. It looks really amazing in the final painting when we are going to do it. This is how we are going to paint the rocks and the final painting. Let me label it so that it looks even more beautiful. I have given some model labelings to the rock. Now let us add some minute details to enhance the rocks. So what we're going to do is I'm going to take my size one detailing brush, which is basically a round brush only. And we are going to have some solid white color. Using these beautiful strokes, we are going to enhance the rock. I'm just making these little strokes using white color, solid white color basically. You can see how beautiful it looks. Some sort of gives a nice reflection of the moonlight. There is no particular way of doing this. You can do it in a very natural way. No need to do the exact same way I'm doing it is just to give you an idea how we have to add details. Now you can see that we are almost done with all the elements that we have in this particular painting. And you can see the sheet looks really beautiful at some sort of gives me a lot of satisfaction when I practice. We have one last element that we are going to paint right now, which is the moon. So I have taken my detail, brush on size one and let me show you this in the gradient background only. You just have to take solid white color and your detailing brush and try to make a C-shape. Let's see, shape should be pointed on the edges and a little bit of solid color in-between, as you can see. Let me paint it one more time. You can practice this on a rough sheet of paper initially, and then you can come to your final painting so that you do not end up spoiling your background color. So when we are done practicing all the elements that we have in this particular painting. Now, let us move towards the final painting. 4. Lets Cut the Paper: Hey everybody, now let us cut the paper, which is very important part for this particular painting. So here I have my A5 size watercolor paper, which is basically a 300 GSM and one quanti LB paper. Now the painting is having basically a square format, so we're going to cut it into a perfect square. So as you can see, I have my steel edge, which is having dimensions in centimeters. So now let us measure the smaller side force, which is 15 centimeter basically. So what I'm going to do is that I'm going to mark 15 centimeter on the longer side as well, so that it becomes a perfect square. I have pointed one simple point using my pencil at 15 centimeter on the longer side, let us point 1 mol dot so that we get an exact parallel line. Now once you draw the dots, what you are going to do is just try to place you're still alleged matching the dance. And we are going to draw a simple line, which is going to be bad a little to the side edge. As you can see, we've got a nice perfect square. Now using a pair of scissors, we're going to cut the remaining part. You can use a Katara as well, but I would suggest uses scissors so that you can follow the line carefully. Simply just use a pair of scissors and follow the line. Tried to cut it in an exact and perfect way. And I have removed the additional part. You can see the watercolor paper is ready, I'm having a perfect square. Now let us move towards the next part. 5. Lets Tape the Paper: Hey everybody. Now let us take the watercolor paper size. You can see I have my watercolor paper ready, which we have, cut it into a perfect square. Now in order to get a nice bite side edge, we are going to use our masking tape of 1 ". As you can see, we are going to place it on the top portion initially. So you can see I have a nice piece of masking tape. Try to place it in a parallel way to the watercolor paper. As you can see, have some edge of the masking tape on the watercolor paper and some on the background, whatever you are having, your drawing board or anything. And just make sure that the tape is placed parallel to the paper edge. Because when you will remove this, I think it should look perfect frame. Pleased. Another tape on the bottom path. Now, let us place the masking tape on the right side. I'm trying to align it with the paper edge and just place your thumb on it so that it gets stuck to the watercolor paper perfectly. Now let us place the last masking tape on the left side. Make sure that your masking tape is perfectly stacked with the watercolor paper that will definitely give you best results by you remove it. And we're done. Now, let us move towards the next step. 6. Painting the Background: Hey everybody, now let us paint the background, which is the most amazing part for this particular painting. So as you can see, my watercolor paper is ready. When does IT? I have a cup of water, my mixing palette, and a tissue paper. We're going to use white and black only for this particular painting. Now, let us start painting the background. I have plus symbol pencil to separate the horizon line. So just simply take your pencil and make a horizontal line. And between the papal. Make it a little bit lighter only because you just want it for your own reference. Now, I have my flat brush of 1 ". As you can see, we are going to use this flat brush to apply a thin coat of water in the background for sky, what we're going to do is just simply dip your brush in water. As you can see, we are going to apply a thin coat of water. No need to worry at all. You just have to meet these little horizontal strokes on the background as you can see. And also make sure that you do not apply access amount of water in the background. That will definitely spoil your painting. You just have to maintain the capacity of water and also make sure that there is no space left in-between. I have applied a nice thin coat of water. As you can see. You can already see there are no water pools in-between. No need to hurry a doll, do it very carefully, make sure that there is no space left. Now, in case you remember, we had the remaining part of the watercolor paper that we just cut it on that let me show you the darker patch of land that we are going to apply initially. In my flat brush, I have a solid black color. So just apply a nice horizontal stroke on the top portion. Make sure there is no space left between the masking tape and the watercolor paper. As you can see, we have applied a nice solid black coat on the top portion. Now we are going to make a nice gray color. So in case you are missing out on how to create the gradient effect, you can always go to, let's practice elements. There. I have showed everything in detail how you can make all the elements in detail. I've added some white. You can observe my color palette and you can see we have got a nice gray tone. Time just adding a little bit of motor torque is more than the color, but make sure that there isn't access amount of water. Now, again, I'll be making a horizontal stroke just below the black color, using the gray tone. Applied as much as you can, make sure that there is no space left in-between the solid black color and a gray tone that you have applied. Now, dam beyond flat brush on the tissue paper to remove excess amount of water and blend it with black color. In case you are not that much confident enough to paint it directly to the final painting. What you can do is you can practice it on a landscape of paper first and then come to your final painting. Now, again, observed in my color palette, I have taken some nice solid white color because the gradient effect is to be from black to white. You can see we have made another tone, which is a little bit gray matter. It has to be having more light in it. I'm giving a nice horizontal stroke just below the gray badge. As you can see, there is a nice difference between the top and the bottom portion. Now we are going to blend the whitish tone with the gray color. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to dab it on the tissue people to remove excess amount of water and blend it with the gray color. That is then behind doing this is that it gives you a nice seamless effect and a gradient effect will look even more better. When you do this. You can observe the color change from black to the white area. Now you must be thinking, why did we applied a thin coat of water initially? So the reason behind that is very simple, so that you can move your brush ready smoothly and carefully. In case you apply the color directly, it will definitely give you a rough movement of your brush. That's why it is important to apply a thin coat of water initially. And that is basically known as a baton wet technique. Now, let us paint the double. I'm just making another tone of gray. Observed my color palette. I have added a little bit of water to loosen the cholera. Now I'm trying to make a different shade of gray. No need to worry at all in case you're not able to make the exact shade that I'm making. You can create your own shades as well. That is what I suggest. You can see it looks a little bit different from the above gradient effect. Let us try it on the dock scrap of paper. Yeah, it is a little bit different. So now we're going to paint the repo. So I'm adding a little bit of water so that we can move our brush more smoothly and carefully. Just apply a nice horizontal stroke just below the horizon line so that you can have a difference between the skyline and the order is in line. This time we are not having a gradient effect, we're just having a solid color, so no need to worry, you can apply it the way you want to, but just try to make horizontal strokes. Don't think vertical strokes in-between, that will not give you a nice output. And also try to be very much slow way there is the horizon line so that you get a nice effect horizontal line. That'll be adding a little bit of white to make the river area a little bit more vibrant. You can see in my color palette, I have taken some white and having the same flat brush. I'm just adding it about the layer of the gray. And you can see how beautiful it is looking. Similarly, we are just moving towards the bottom portion is going to be a solid color only for the revolt area, because we are going to create a nice mist effect. Becomes a little bit more lighter tone in gray. And we are done painting the entire area as well. You can see that is a nice difference between those sky area and the level. The sky area looks truly amazing with the gradient effect from black to whitish. And river area is having a solid color patch. Now, let us move towards the next part. 7. Painting the Hills: Hey everybody, now let us paint the hills. While the particular painting, as you can see, we are ready with the background and the logo area. So I have my symbol pencil and we are going to draw a rough sketch for the bigger hill, basically which we have in the painting. So no need to worry at all. You just have to create these pointy strokes and create a natural form of a hill. And there is one more smaller hill just on the right side of the bigger headed. So we are also making that. One thing I would like to tell you is that no need to worry at all. You just don't have to, right? In the same way that I haven't drawn. You can draw it in your own natural way as well. Just try to follow the steps. And also in case you're not that much confident enough to draw it directly on this beautiful painted background. Then what you can do is just take a rough scrape off paper. Or you can go to the practice session where I have explained everything in detail, how to paint these elements that have given nice rock bodies, also on the yellow portion, and some nice smaller rocks as well. Let us draw some more rocks on the right side. And we're almost done. So you can see, I've used the pencil, so it is just for your reference, no need to draw it that darker. So here I have my detailing brush of size three and we're going to take some nice solid color, solid black color basically in it. And the first shade, which is a solid black color, we are going to take that. The reason behind taking black is that it will give a nice contrast with the background and the **** will look really elegant. In my color palette, you can see I have some solid black color and I have taken a little bit of water to loosen the cholera. I'll be using the tip of my detailing brush too, into the difficult areas, which is the point D. So the N dy, the hill is going to be a solid black color. So what I would suggest is that let us paint the outline area for us so that we can just make a nice outer border for the hills carefully and slowly. We can fill the solid black color inside. Make sure that you fill the solid black color carefully and you do not leave any area in-between that will not make your headlights look beautiful. So as you can see, I'm just trying to fill in the solid black color carefully. Now one thing that I always suggest my students is that in case you find painting any particular element or any particular painting style using the brush techniques, you can simply use a rough strip of paper or an art journal on which you practice on a regular basis. And you can practice this particular thing on that first, and then you can come towards your final painting. By doing this, you can always minimize the chances of mistakes. Now we are just simply going to follow the same process by filling in the solid black color inside the hill. So now we're done painting the entire hill and you can see a solid black color in the entire Hill, which is looking really amazing. Now I'll be just cleaning my detailing brush and dab your brush on the tissue paper. As you can see, that we are just removing excess amount of water from it and we want a dry brush basically. Now we will be starting blending it the level area. So you just have to simply clean your detailing brush carefully and make sure that there is no water inside. This is an absolutely dry brush and we just have to make this particular circular movement. Or you can just rub the detailing brush carefully. And you can already see that is a nice blend between the river area and the mountain. I can see the hill and we just have to spread it on the bottom potion. Do it very carefully and in Oslo space so that you do not end up making a mistake, are spoiling your background. So eventually what will happen is that the movement, you'll start blending your brush with the background and you will start rubbing it. You'll observe that there is an amazing shade forming and you'll find it as a mist effect near the river. So let me just repeat the entire technique for you all. What I have done is that I have taken the detailing brush. I have cleaned it up in the bowl where we have clean water and simply tap it on the tissue paper so that n becomes completely dry. There shouldn't be any water in your brush and just make sure about that. And you have to simply make these rough moment. Basically, these are so kiddo moments if you see and you have to blend it with the background, you can see how beautiful the effect is looking. It might happen that for the first few times you won't be able to do this. So what you can do is that you can just simply take our draft scrape off paper and take the detailing brush. Use the tip of the detailing brush to make these beautiful hills as I'm making right now. This is also a simple graphs group of people only. You can just make a nice rough, hilly area. No need to be that much specific. This is just for practice session. Now once you find that the hills are looking in that proper shape, what we're going to do, just simply going to clean the brush, dab it on the tissue paper, make sure that that isn't any water in the rash. Take your time. No need to hurry at all. Now what I'm going to do is that I'm going to rub it on the area just below that is. So now the process is completely same. Just the dry brush will help you to make the beautiful mist effect may dabbing it. So since that is this white background right now because it's a rough scrape off PayPal instead on that. And the final painting, we are having this grayish tone for the level. I hope that you got a perfect idea of how you have to create these beautiful hills with effect. Or we can say fog effect. Now in case, since you'll find it very difficult to do, what you can do is you can go to the, let's practice all the elements session and you'll learn how to paint all the elements in detail there. So now let me paint another hill which is just on the right side, which is a little bit smaller. The technique is going to be absolutely same. So what we are going to do, we're going to take solid black color. And I'll be using the tip of my detail brush to paint the difficult areas. In case you find me painting a little bit faster, what you can do is you can just simply slow down. There is an option below. Now again, I'll be creating them as defect. I have cleaned my detailing brush. I have guided by dabbing it on the tissue paper. And we're repeating the same process. While you will be filling the solid black color in the hose, make sure that no spaces left. At times what happens is the paper is generally porous in nature. But once you applied a nice solid batch to the color and when it dries up, it might give you white spots, which actually happens. But it's good at times. It will also give some sort of natural effect to your mountains. So it is fine. Now let us paint the rocks which are in the front portion. And again, the metal is absolutely same. We are going to apply the color solid batch. So what I'm going to do is I'm just applying it in sequence. I'm trying to apply it from the upper portion and I'm coming towards the bottom area slowly. You can see I'm trying to fill each and every area very carefully so that there isn't any space left. I have simply fast and I'm WE DO so that we can consume some time. In case you find me painting a little bit faster, you can definitely slow it down. There's an option below, so you can slow down the frame date. We're just simply adding this beautiful solid black color. And you can see how naturally I'm moving my detailing brush and no need to worry at all. What happens is that rocks are generally having natural shapes. So in case you think that you have to paint it in the exact same way I'm painting. It's not a doll compulsory. You can create your own natural shapes as well. We have painted the rocks on the front area. Now, let us paint the rocks that are on the river. Or we can say in the river. I'm just trying to put the color on the outline. You can create some amazing natural shapes. Then you can also observe the movement of my detailing brush sided. Be really honest with all of you that this particular painting is having these rocks in a very random and natural shapes. I haven't fully decided that I'll make it held only. So you can also accordingly arrange the wrong. Let's try to make it a little bit more aesthetic and you can try to experiment it as well. Now, let us create the mystify. The process is absolutely seen. I have cleaned my detailing brush and dry it up on the tissue paper and slowly start rubbing it with the river on the bottom portion so the shade is completely visible as you can see. I also know lambda difficulty is going to blend the colors together in case you find it difficult. Definitely you have to practice it on a landscape of paper. And then you are going to come towards your final painting. I'm kind of very much liking the way the mixed-effect looks. And this is something you are definitely going to enjoy while you are going to do it by yourself. Now we are almost done painting the house and creating the beautiful mist effect on the entire painting. I'll be adding a little bit of color in case you find it a little bit lighter in tone.
