About This Class

Hello!
My name is Katya. And I have been painting with watercolor for almost 5 years. During this time, I made more than 60 offline workshops. And now I want to share my knowledge with more people. I believe that everyone can draw and I want you to believe in this too!

This lesson is perfect for watercolor lovers of all levels.

If you just start drawing, then you will learn the technique "wet on wet" and will know how to fix things you don't like.

If you already paint with watercolor, you can deepen your knowledge of color combinations and watercolor techniques.

In addition, I will tell you:
- how to make gradient fill;
- about drawing with semi-dry brush;
- how to draw fog;
- why the sequence of using color is so important;
- how to combine the whole picture by color.

In the end of the lesson, you will get a new watercolor drawing and the skills that you will need in the further study of watercolor.

You can find reference photo and my drawings in the attached files.

1. Introduction: Hi guys recently on Instagram. By the way, this is my nickname. Don't forget to subscribe. You asked me to make new watercolor lessons about painting folk and I thought, Why not? When I started to know what Akala, I had no idea how to dressage complex objects, a sky or clouds or sunlight. And we already learned how to drop clouds in my previous lessons. So today we will deal with talk In this lesson you will known how to make a smooth gradient field skin. But also you will understand why sequence off using Collis is matter. No. Me known to drove folks. Yeah you on how to draw using same and dry brush And here will you need the entire drawing by color. I will tell the rest further. Let's get started. 2. Step 1: pencil drawing: skin till somebody don't me is a room. Don't break your I start from a pencil drawing a trusted draw a horizon line. On next step, I will draw the meal. First we need to draw a line off symmetry. Using this line, we will build the entire construction off the meal. The essence of this line off symmetry is to draw equal line segments to the right and left . Then I draw the roof off the mule in the shape off triangle and they draw to sloping lines on the left and drive. This has the walls off the mute. But, Jim, don't me now I draw the blades. This are two lines intersect. Um, at 90 degrees long me break your oh, I draw a line off threes in the background and I add a little bridge to the foreground. Now I raise the drawing so that the what the color can paint over eat 3. Step 2: gradient fill of the sky: I will start to paint from this guy because they're either cleanest and lightest colors. I will draw the sky using wet on wet technique. It means that in the first stage I need two more than the paper with clean water. Also, I weather paper a little below the horizon to make smoother color, transition and row folk. Well, the paper absorbs water. I prepare pains to law the brush with what the color easily. It is necessary to wet the paint with water. To do these and rip clean water into the cars that I really use. This a Kobylt kin agreed on orange in digga, yellow and green. Now we need to mix peach color to paint this guy I mix orange and can agreed on. It is important to drawing exactly with bright and warm shades, while the water in the glass is clean. Otherwise it is easy toe contaminate Beach Qala, and then the whole picture will be faded. I drove with this color along the horizon. You can slightly change the color by edging Kinnock, read on and make and some more strokes, so the picture will look much more picture sick. Now, I don't know the blue collar off this guy to do these. I ed Kobylt on the palate. I tried to take very situated blue collar. Now I chilled, ethically bought and lead the paint flow down to make the pain flow down faster. I again ed blue to the top age off the sheet. I chill tickly bought in the other direction so that the peach color begins to mix with bloom. I also make a few strokes with the remains of blue collar in the space where the cows should begin. To Meeks. I want to make this guy a little more situated for these I again at a pitch collar at the horizon until the clipboard Oh, you about to say wet, clean brush helps to mix the colors with each as, um, I just make a couple of strokes With this brush, I wear the bottom part off the paper. We bought them as I turned to the forest 4. Step 3: forest in the fog: I mix three colors cobalt green and in Digga Hydro using dotted strokes. Due to the fact that the paper is with such strokes themselves begin to blow in the form off the three tops. Please note that I try not to paint over the meal. Now the great a folk effect. I take a small brush. I moistened it really the water and begin to blow the lower edge off the threes. I do the same to the right off the mule. - Somebody No, Jim, Me Now I'm starting to draw grass. I used the same color as for trees This is a mix off indigo, kobylt and green. The principle is the same. First I draw the top off the grass and after I will blow the bottom age. Since the grass is closer to the viewer, I will make it more situated. Break your now. I washed the bottom off the grass with water I typically bought so that the pain flows down more easily And with the brush I make the pain transition smooth them. - Now I will get a more situated collar to the foreground. It is important to save a translucent green collar where we see the bridge. This translucent shades is the folk. I add a green color to the bottom, right and along the bottom edge off the paper. Thus, in order to draw folk, those things are important. Alton situated color with translucent and make a smooth transition between these two colors . 5. Step 4: the mill drawing: it's oh you about Let's don't toe the throwing off the mule. I will use a mix of brown and cobalt. We combine our entire picture by column. Therefore, cobalt was used in our drawing off the sky, in the drawing off grass and now, in the drawing off the meal. Next, I simply paint over the entire Seelert off the meal, toe the border with the tops off the trees. Yeah, I drove the meal blaze View that slightly more situated column skin . I use a thin, semi dry brush so the blades will be need and will not attract much attention. Skin till somebody No Tell me long break your oh, with the same color. I had small details, so I want to make the meal structure more interesting. I continue to draw with a mix of brown and indigo. Now I turn toe the drawing off the bridge. I also used a thing. Seven. Dry brush. In this way, strokes turned out very picturesque. - It's oh, you about not, is how the railing along the edge off the bridge small three disappears into the folk. Yeah, 6. Step 5: grass in the fore: I add a more situated green color next to the bridge so that there is no feeling as if the reach hang in the air also with the same in dry brush, I draw grass in the foreground. - If you think the blaze off grass, stand out strongly. Then you can wash them off with the clean, wet brush. Till somebody Jim, don't me coz, is a room break. And the last step is to drive the whole growing with headroom. Okay, Thank you for watching my lesson. I really every trade that trust me as a teacher. And don't forget to follow my school share count and try to make Knew what? The colorless since every month.
