How to Make Watercolor flowers from FLAT to FABULOUS (using Wet In Wet )

1. Class Introduction: When you see those beautiful flowers painting in galleries, in homes, or when you see those flowers in the gardens, do you ever say to yourself that I wish I can paint them well, my friend you can, and I'm going to teach you how to do that. Hey, I'm rich and I'm a loose floral watercolor artist, designer and teacher Over the past five years by embracing art. Not only I have learned to live my life by design and to the fullest, but I have also helped thousands of students to learn watercolors in a simple, fun way. I'm teaching germ since my childhood, and I'm so passionate about making things simple and fun. I'm so excited to welcome you in my brand new skillshare class, in which I will teach you how to make your painting from flat to fabulous. If you're new to my classes, I must tell you that you are in to learn in a way so that you can form a strong foundation. You will get mind blowing tips, techniques, and lots of Aha moments in this class because I'm a core believer of forming a strong foundation, learning basics, and doing a lot of experiments. In this class, we will be breaking complex things in simple, fun way. I would advise you to watch this class once, fully absorb it, and then rewatch it and start painting as I'm a core believer of learning one thing at a time, mastering it, and then chal***ging myself again for new things like, that's how I learn. The same way, I would advise you to go slow, absorb, and start painting. In this class, I will teach you two main things. One, how to stop overworking your paintings, and second, how to give depth to your paintings. Once you learn these two things, your paintings will immediately start looking fabulous. Like your flowers will have the depth your flowers will a natural feel and they will start popping out of the page. This is just one of the modules of my In Depth yearly subscription Co, the Flourish Art Club, in which I teach artists how to paint watercolor flowers in their own style. Like not only from other artists, tutorials all reference pick but also from life subjects. And to make their own composition. And to finally find their style that they can flourish and have their own business and start earning them with all the basic techniques. In my course, I equip them with all the basic techniques. There are a lot of creative play, there are chal***ges. And each month, I teach them one new painting which help them to move out of their comfort zone. Basically, the whole course is focused on small consistent steps each month. The main aim is to help beg artists and intermediate artists to paint flowers in their style so that they can start earning. This course is open for you to join as well. You can check all the details in the legs below. You can DM me on Instagram at the rate travel through my canvas. Make sure that you follow me on Instagram at the rate travels through my canvas so that you can get access to all the new information and about my all new classes coming up. In today's class, we will learn all about monochrome study, like how to paint flowers, how to give depth to flowers in one color. I will give you one secret, one secret that you can apply to all your paintings and that will make them fabulous. Also, you can apply that secret to any painting or to anything which you are doing. This class is for you. If you are a nature lover, if you are obsessed with flowers and so eager to paint them, you might have bought your new watercolor set and eager to paint it, or you have been painting from a while. This is a total bigger friendly class. Whether you just bought your watercolors or you have been painting them for a while, you will have a lot of fun and a lot of learning in this class. This class is perfect for you if you are a flower lover, if art recharges your soul, it's your happy place. But you don't know how to learn more. I was in the same boat, don't worry my friends. It's just a process. Five years back when I moved to Singapore from India and I decided to paint. I decided to pick my brushes again. I had no clue from where to start, but one thing which I did was that I hold my vision. I keep taking small baby steps. I joined dozens of classes. I painted consistently. I used to paint like when my baby's nap time, I was a baby. You what you say nap time painter. I had no family support. My husband was busy with his job. But yes, I keep taking small, consistent steps, slowly and slowly. I found my style. I learned a lot in watercolor. I made my first collection, I found my brand travel through my canvas. I sell in various craft shows. I did amazing commission work. I did a lot of collaboration with various artists. Now I'm helping thousands of students as well to find this style, to master what I call flowers. It is such an amazing journey. Art is not only a source of income for me, but also a fuel to recharge my soul. Whatever is your goal, whatever is your desire, I want you to take your art seriously. Craft time for it in your schedule. Fulfill your dream. My friend, hold that vision and keep moving towards it one step at a time. I appreciate you so much for taking this, for taking time, for making, for taking time for your desires. Let's dive in into this class and learn to paint flowers in one color. And learn to give a lot of depth to your flowers. Happy painting. 2. Supplies you need: So let me first tell you about what we are going to do. We are going to paint this flowers and study tonal values and monochrome study to via this flowers. What all you need. First, let me tell you about the material supplies. You just need some papers. This pitch size paper is also okay for the study. It is approximately five. Okay, 54. Any size of sheets, you can check. Just few papers. I have more paper because there's something bonus for you in this class. One mixing tray and just one color. Okay. And just one color and one good point brush. Can you see the tip of this brush? One good point watercolor brush, obviously, water can I suggest you keeping two water cans that's you need and some paper towel, some rough sheets of paper to try your color and tonal values. And that's it. Just one color, one brush and few papers in a mixing tray is good enough to go. Okay. Regarding color, I want to tell you that you choose either darker shade color, either you choose a pine gray. If you have a Pinera, if you don't have a pin Scra, that's totally okay. Choose any shade of dark blue you have, like the darkest blue you have. I would say to avoid yellow, red, green, and any other shade of color. Why? Because they are the little lighter colors and you will not be able to judge your monochrome study completely through those colors. It is always best to use pine gray or the Persian blue or the ultramarine blue for your monochrome study, okay? Never do your monochrome study in the light pinks and blues and yellows, Okay? That's not a very good choice, I would say. Okay? Yes. 3. How we will learn !: Hey friends, this is just a small intro. What we are going to do in our next class. In our first class, in the upcoming class. In the next class, I'm going to break the flower. I'm going to break the flower into simple shapes. What a flower is made up of? It is made up of a circle and petals. And to dive deeper, a circle center is just a circle, and the petals are the triangle shape, or you can say a tear drop shapes. We are going to break the complex things into simple things, and we will be learning how to give the three tones first in a circle, in a triangle, in a teardrop shape, in a square. And from there we will collect them all and learn how to give a three tones in our flower. As I promise I'm going to break the complex things into simple and make it fun and easy for you. So look closely in this class how I'm mixing colors, right? How I am taking my colors, even in my brush. That's also important to note. I have explained it in a very simple way. But look closely, look closely at how much water to take, how much water I'm taking in my brush, and how much darker each color should be. How much lighter each color should be. Like you can reach, you can slow down, but look closely each of my step. There are lots and lots of hidden tips and techniques. So I'm going to break them all. I'm going to simplify them all. Yeah, that's the other thing is that once you learn the basic things, it will be very easy for you to combine and form a flower. And even can form more complex flowers. Always have a strong foundation. That's like one of my core code belief in all my courses. Yes. If you don't know what is tonal value, what is brush movement, and what are the basic floral shapes and patterns? I have other classes on scale. You can definitely go and watch them if you have any confusions regarding brush movement or tonal values, I have explained them in much deeper and detailed weight in those classes. Do follow me your skillshare so that you get notified about all my classes. And also an Instagram at the Sol through my canvas. But along with that, let's dive in into our next class where I will be really teaching you, simplifying the steps for you. I'm so excited. See you there. Bye bye. 4. Breaking complex things into simple things: Okay, the first thing first which you have to do is take a paper and we are going to do some simple shapes. And we're going to practice some very basic and simple shapes for our monocomtudykay. How you have to mix color. Just look closely, but all I'm doing, so you have to take water. Okay. First, take a lot of water. Approximately three or four times I've dipped my brush in water. Then I'm taking a color only from the tip of my brush. Can you see? Yeah, on the tip of my brush I'm taking and I'm putting that color in water. As you can see the mix, as you can see that my mix is a juicy mix. It's a very liquid, any juicy mix. What do you have to do now? Once you're ready with your max, you just have to draw a simple shapes like circles. You can draw it previously with a pencil as well, but I'm just filling a circle. I just made a circle that's clear. Then what I'm doing the next step, just watch closely. Okay, let me check out this color from my pan because we're just using one color. And I'm keeping it here that can see it. Yes. Now I'm taking just the tip of my brush. I'm just putting the tip of my brush in my color directly. Make sure that your color is wet. And I'm putting it on the edge. Okay. As you can see, I'm putting it on the edge. You will see that the color is spreading. You can, you can push it. I just play with it. Okay. You'll see we have got a lighter and darker. This is called tonal value. Then again, I did the same thing. Again, I have just put the tip of my brush. I've just poked the tip of my brush in the color my color is wet. And same way I'm poking the tip of my brush in the circle. Just the outer rim. Okay. Just the outer rim. Observe each and every stroke very carefully. How I'm doing, how I'm holding my brush, I'm poking the color. I'm just using the tip of my brush to poke the color inside this circle. Again, see we have got three shades, lighter, middle, and darker, right? These are called tones. These are called tones. When you have three, lightness and darkness of the color is called tones. And the total value, If you have membership, you have a complete class over it. You can go and check it out, okay? Yes, you have to practice this multiple times. I'll do it one more time for you. You can do it in a circle. You can also do it in a triangle. I've just now choose any one side and just poke the color. You can spread it if you want, you can spread it. Then again, in the same manner, we'll poke it again on the side. We will get it three shades and it dries. We'll get three sheets. Do this exercise on the full sheet of paper. Fourier take ten, 15 minutes and do this exercise completely. Okay, for those who don't know about tonal values, I'll tell you one more time, this juicy mix is my lightest shade. Okay? This is my lightest tonal value of a color in water colors. We don't use white, we just mix water and changes the tone changes, make it darker and lighter. I've put a little color in that one, and I now see the color is dark. If I again poke my brush in my color and put more color in this mix, I'll get a third darker tone. If I poke more color, I'll get fourth darker tone. Okay, If I put, I'll get you, keep adding color into this mix. You will keep getting the darker and darker tones. I would say that the more water, less pigment, the first tonal value, the lightest tonal value, Less water, more pigment. You will go towards this side, the darker the tonal value will be. Okay, now you know what is tonal value? The tonal value is the lightness and darkness of a color on a gray scale. Okay. If you don't add white, you don't use white in water colors. We make the lighter and the darker tones by adding water to it. Okay? When we give all the three tones in one object, then it becomes, it gives a depth to that object, right? Because as you see, this circle is so boring. But as you add these colors, oh my god, it has become so juicy, so depth full, and it's already looking like a moon, right? There's one more step to monochrome study. That is light and shadow, which we are not focusing right now. Don't worry that how to put it, where to put it, what's the shadow? We are not discussing light and shadow here. The aim of this class is just to tell you how to get the tones and to make your paintings in depth. Okay, so keep practicing this. And I'll tell you one stroke which we are going to use for our flowers. Practice that stroke as well. So what I'm doing, I'm putting my brush, pressing it hair and again, I'm doing the same thing. Okay. If you are in membership again, you have a complete class on the floral shapes and patterns. You can go and have a look at it. All the basic tools are available in the membership which you can use in all your paintings. Okay, one more time, I'm going to tell you what you have to do. Just one basic step. You have to keep your brush at an angle approximately 25 degrees. Start from the tip, press it, then pick it up. Then again, press it slowly and slowly and drag it. And pick it up and just see what happens. Just leave it, do it. This exercise, it is such a mindful exercise. Such a beautiful exercise. It doesn't come in one time, my friend. It takes a lot of muscle memory. Don't be harsh on yourself if you're not able to do it in one go. It comes with a lot of muscle memory. You have to press your brush, press your brush, and slowly, and slowly and slowly pick your brush, then again, press your brush and your brush. Be mindful that how is your brush moving? I have done this mistakes in the past a lot. When I was doing this exercise, I used to focus on how my petal is coming, rather than you have to focus on how your brush is moving. Okay, try it. You might be doing the same thing if you're like me. But I always, in the beginning, I always petal, coming around quite round shape. How is it coming? No. When you're doing this exercise pressing, just be mindful that how your brush is moving, where is it? I am picking it, dragging it now with all the whole body of brushes on paper. Okay. Now, slowly, slowly, slowly, I am picking it up and only the tip is on the paper. And okay, a good exercise, a very mindful exercise. It's relaxing. That's why I tell my members all the time that whenever you start with painting, just do this basic strokes exercise in our happy painting session in membership. As we always start with basic strokes, it's so relaxing, so meditative. And the more you practice it, the more your muscle memory will develop. Be gentle with yourself, practice it a lot of times. Then move forward to the other section. 5. BONUS- how to test -Is your paper is good?: Before that I want to give you a bonus tip, which I want to give you a bonus tip about analyzing your paper. Okay, so I have got a few my color, I've got a few samples of paper. I will tell you how to judge that your paper is a good one or a bad one. Okay? This will just blow your mind. I'm telling you. Let me tell you, take any paper because this is confusing and all the companies, they don't mention all the things that it is 100% cotton or not being 100% cotton. Also, there is a lot of confusion and a lot of things which come into making paper. I think the variation is there how I check my paper and it is important when you're going to work wet and wet today, we are going to work a lot in wet. In wet, we actually put wet in wet three times. Like first we put a thin layer, then a second layer and then a third layer. When you're working wet in wet, then good paper is very necessary. Most of the time we get frustrated, we end up using a bad paper, and we think that we are bad. But no, it is the fault of your paper. Okay? Now, let me show you what I mean by a good paper when I am using this paper. The first paper, okay. Can you see? There is a water beat. Okay. This is a sign that your paper is not a very good and classy paper because water is collecting on one side. Being a train artist, I know how to manage it, how to manage it, but it takes a lot of time and energy. You will see when I put second layer, it is not spreading that good. Okay. First of all, the sign of a very good paper is that you will see a water. So instead, if I use this paper, which is 100% cotton, 300 GSM and more, you won't see a water beat that prominent. Okay? The whole petal is wet. The spread of color is also much better. Whenever you see a water beat collecting at the end, that means that paper is not so very good. This is a medium, medium paper. Obviously, if you put a lot of water on this best paper, then you will see the water beat there also. But in these papers, which are not very good, first of all, they get dry very quickly. And secondly, you always see a water beat, even when I'm spreading the color, because the water has not uniformly absorbed by the paper, the color is not spreading very uniformly. Being a train artist, I can still manage it. I know how to manage it, but as a beer, it's frustrating. And you can see the difference. You can see this is one, this is second, this is the third when I work with a very good people. Okay, always check your paper when you're planning to add something like this monochrome study or when you are planning to add more layers in, wet and wet, then having a good paper is a must. Otherwise, you will definitely end up frustrating and not getting the reserves and blaming yourself, which I don't want and you don't want as well if you are in membership. Again, we have a complete supply list, even I send a supply list to all my email subscribers and weekly tips in that. Also, we have everything we discussed a lot in our E mails as well about the paper and all these things. I hope if you are in my mailing list or member area, you will get the supply list or else I will send you a complete supply list. My favorite papers and everything. And yes, if you are in the membership jump on the Facebook group, take a snap of your take a picture of your paper, the front of your paper. Okay. From what do you mean by, I mean by front of the paper? This book of the paper, the complete picture and posted in the group. I would love to see what paper you're using. This way we can share because in every country there are different papers available. When I moved to UK, it was still a struggle for me to find my best paper. Cheese you will get everywhere, no doubt. Yes, that's very, but that's very expensive. They are medium range artists paper as well, which are good If you're in the membership just come on the Facebook group and share which paper you're using. Just take a snap off the front of your paper and just posted. That's it. Take complete snap and posted. Tell me, do you like that paper or you don't like that paper? Okay, if you can find out, but it'll come slowly. Don't worry about. 6. Give Depth to your Flowers: That okay? This will happen and it's okay. I'm just going to practice some blots strokes and I'm just going to see what happens with my paper later on. Whenever I get time, I can order the best paper for myself and do it. Don't give your brain a chance to make an excuse that, oh, I didn't have the best paper. I cannot practice. No, no, no, no. You're not going to do that. Okay. I hope you have practiced enough about these shapes and how to give the three tones. Okay? Any confusion. You can always DM me, mail me, or come in the members area, ask your question, we'll discuss in our happy session painting session. Okay? So one thing I have told you, what are tones, okay, That you all know. Now you have uplift from not knowing what are tones to knowing what are tones. The second thing you know about the paper, how to judge your paper that's in today's session. You have up, lift yourself from not knowing how to judge a paper to knowing how to judge the paper. The third thing, you have also learned to give depth to your flowers, to your circles, and now we'll see how to give it the flowers, and how to add three tones in one. How to add three tones in one object. That also, you have learned three things already, done in the first section. Congratulations for taking this class and lifting yourself up. Lifting your skills already. You know so much about it and now you can avoid overworking. I'm going to tell you how to put the tones in the flower, okay? Let me first tell you what you're going to do and observe these flowers, okay? Every flower, we're going to leave some white space which will create first tone. Always leave some white space. Okay? That is create one tone and the second tone is created by the thinnest layer. Okay? Then the third one is by poking. Okay? And the fourth one is by these darker lines. Okay? So if this is a little confusing, just stay with me. I'm going to tell in more depth. This will stop overworking once you understand this also your flowers will have a depth. Okay? To start with, just remember, first thing that wherever we are painting a flower, we're going to leave some white ******. Okay, that is so important. If I don't leave by white ******, I mean the gap between the petals. I also leave sometimes the white ****** within my petals. This also creates a lot of interest because it's just moving our brush. Don't worry about giving it too much hair because that we will learn when we'll come to brush stroke class, which is mostly the next month. Don't worry about that at all, right? Now we are just focusing on monochrome study. Okay. This is a study when we always do, whenever we are going to paint a flower. Yep. So we have to keep in mind the white ****** being a winger. I will suggest you to take out your pencil, which I use very rarely, but Yes. Let me grab my pencil as well. We're going to do a little marking on a paper, a very light and a little markings Okay. For you. I will do with a pen what I'm going to do, I'm going to put a dot that will decide the center. Okay. I'll show you. I'm going to make, okay, I'm going to put a dot. I'm just going to make it big for you. And then I'm going to make this hang me, can you see this? Hang this one line, one line hair slanting like this. I can say a star shaped, just because this will guide us where we have to make our petals. We'll put our petals around this. Hangman so that we get a five petal flower. Okay. Again, I'm saying that we're not going to judge or flowers in the last, but I'll try my best that you'll learn alongside something. But yeah, don't judge your flowers. Okay. I'm making this star shaped. I hope you can see, give it a little markings on your paper, leaving some space. I hope that's clear. Let me move this distraction for you. Okay, I've given it second here, so there are no rules. You can just follow your heart and give it a little bit here and there. You can always practice it again. So don't think that we're going to make a masterpiece. No, we are just playing and enjoying the process. Okay. I have given this much in a random fashion. Always remember to leave some white ****** while we are doing. Okay. Just observe what I'm doing. And later again, I'm going to mix a juicy mix. Whenever you start a flower, you first make a thin mix. The first wash which will say, okay, then I'm starting it from here, a little away from the center. Okay. And I'm pressing my brush, dragging it, the movement which I told you. And again, if that bead is there, take that bead along, spread it. It's okay if it is anywhere. Let it be a little bit. Water bead will be there. That's perfectly okay. Happy accident. We can deal with it later on. No worries. Then I'm just poking my tip of the brush and I'm putting it near the center. Okay, just near the center. Okay, that's it. Just repeat thing with me again. Take color, the thin wash, put it on the paper. Poke your brush in and just see the spread. Okay, just see the spread. Give it wherever you want it. You're free to twist and turn your paper. Leave the white ******. Keep leaving the white ****** between the petals. Now you can paint along with me if you have seen enough. And just put it near the center. Okay. And a little bit on the side also we can, when you are experimenting, then you experiment in every corner. Like when I was on this experimental stage, the more you experiment, the more you will get that how it is happening and what is happening. Like if I'm putting only in the center, it will look like this. Okay, let me try a little bit. Putting at the top as well. Okay, Then it will look like this. Like that way. You can experiment here. I will tell you if you want to follow go by the rules. Just put it near the center. If you want to be a little experimental, you can always put a little bit on the top as that's okay. Thin wash, quickly dipping my, poking my brush in the color no water we are using and poking it near the center. Okay. This has to be very fast because we are using wet and wet techniques. Now, if I feel that this juicy X is less, I'll add more water for the second flower. And the same way I'm going to repeat it. If your paper is very good, then you can make all the five petals together as well, like I am doing in this. Then poke the color, the second tone of color, It will stay wet. But if your paper is not good enough, then you have to make one petal and poke it. Poke the color, second tone immediately. Okay, now for my third star, again I'm mixing. We can see that now there's a depth. Now there's a depth because already we have given three tones. We have left the white ****** a thin wash. And the second poking, which we have done, just this, we have to do. Okay, Less is more in water colors, don't never overwork your painting. This will avoid the overworking in your painting. If you'll just give a thin wash first then poking the second tonal value, that's it. Okay, See, just leave it. Okay, we'll come one more time when our flowers will dry to it, but now we are leaving it to dry. If you feel that your mix is not juicy enough, you can definitely add more water to your juicy mix. But when we are poking, then we don't add much water. Any water. In fact, I will say to my brush. Okay, just enjoy this. Now, if you are in my membership, I want all of you to come to a stage where you can paint in monochromesfter. For your monochrome study. I have told you that you have to use a darker shade like a Persian blue. Are fine gray or ultramarine blue. Okay, just have fun with it now. Try my friend. This will give you such a nice feeling to see your flowers. So much depth and so much beauty. Don't worry about the shape. I'm telling you again and again just with whatever strokes it is coming. Even if you are making the five circles, that is good enough. But see that it has depth Now, one thing at a time, right? Just observe how I am doing, even if you have water. As it's okay a little bit. Color is spread. Don't stop yourself if you don't have a very good paper, because now you know that it's not your fault. I just told you that so that you don't get frustrated. I blame, although the blame, the fault was in your paper, okay? Now this is done. Now, what I'm going to do, again, look carefully, once you have painted the flowers, the whole page. Now I'm going to dip my brush directly into the color and it is a little wet. This pan is a little wet. It has a color on the top. It is not a dry one. It is already a mix thing. I'm just dipping my brush in the pen, the tip of my brush, and I'm going to make the stems. If you are not very confident with using this brush as to create your stems, which is totally okay as a big use a thin brush. Okay? Use one number brush or a two number brush and just make this little curvy stems lines. Enjoy. Okay, We'll come to brush strokes and everything I have told you just tip the tip and make the lines and then a little stems to it. Because we are going to leaves, we're going to make leaves. The aim of making this is that this should be thin, little curvy, and a thick one, not a very light one. It has to be a thick one. That's why I have not mixed much water. I just do it my pan with the color, with the water and I'm putting it okay. During the whole process, my friend, be gentle with yourself. Enjoy the process. You can always wash this class. Come again. Just enjoy. Okay. Don't judge yourself. That will be too hard. You're already doing a great thing by learning new things. Okay. Once I'm done, I again make a thin wash. Okay, I have again taken a thin wash. And the same thing I'm going to do, I'm going to make leaves just one time. Now. Again, poke a little bit color near the center. Okay, that's it. In one stroke, if your paper is not very good, then you have to poke the second color immediately. Otherwise it will remain wet for a few seconds. Just enjoy this process. Make pig as make small leaves. We're giving a shape to our painting. The whole process was beautiful. Not only to see the end results, that's what art teaches us, right? Which we can apply everywhere in our life to enjoy the process, not sitting on the dinner table and waiting for dinner to come. But in the meantime, enjoy the time with your family. Enjoy the time with your, enjoy each and movement of the life. Because this is the best part, the present, be more observant. Okay. Now this is done. This is done. And now we'll wait for our paintings to dry, when they're completely red. Then we are going to do one more thing which will add more depth. Okay, we are going to put the last tonal values. 7. Secret to STOP overworking: Before we move to our next class of giving highlights, I want to tell you the number one secret, which you have to follow, and give depth to your paintings. And this thing will stop making you overworked. This will literally bring a transformation in your paintings. It has done the same for me. Listen carefully and be ready to listen. The simple rule, it is just a very simple rule that I learned from my masters that how to put the highest, like the darkest tonal value, the middle tonal value, and the light value in the perfect ratio as a pig. First of all, we don't know about the different tones, about the different shades. And secondly, we don't know the ratio in which we should and have to put it. Now since you know that there are different tones, there are, I would say the, the darkest thing, the medium thing, and the lightest thing of a color in a painting. Which give them depth. Now you are ready to learn how to put them in the right way. Your lightest tone consumes the most part of your painting. Your lightest tone is going to be the 70% in your painting. Your second tone, your medium tone is going to take the 20% in your painting and your highlights. Your darkest thing which we will be giving in the next class is going to take the 10% part in your painting, right? Isn't it amazing like when I learned this thing, it totally changed my game. And I can see the depth in my painting. And I stopped ohokingsernlwaysutr a dark medium and light in a ratio in 7,020.10% 70% being the lightest, 20% is the medium, and the 10% is the darkest. I hope you absorb it nicely. And it is apply it, let me know in the common section, in the section. Is it a game changer for you as well? See you in the next class. Bye bye. 8. Highlights: Completely dried. Once it is completely dried, and I'll take a thinner brush. And I'll take my dark tone, the 10% one. I'm directly wetting my pan. I'm taking the darkest tone. And what I'm going to do, I'm just going to add a little lines. You have to dip your brush again and again, but make sure that water very less and it's mostly the color. Okay. I'm just making these lines. What I'm doing my brush, I'm just making these lies in the center, okay? Just these lines that will give a definition to your flower, okay? A little lines and few dots here and there. These lines are in that direction of the petals and a few dots we're giving. But you have to do this once your painting is completely dried. Okay. In a very random fashion. That's how we add, give depth to our paintings. We avoid overworking, We use stones, we do monochrome study to take away from this class. I would say that at least a month to apply, to soak in all these things. Don't rush. Okay. Oh my God, I have to paint. Pooh, see this flower was not completely dried, so I couldn't get that same result. To make sure that your painting is completely dried before you are adding this final layer, it takes ten to 15 minutes to get it completely dried. You can also add a little veins in the leaves. But guys, this is all about the Brokes. We are not focusing much on the brush, the main name. Always remember to give tonal values to learn about how to give depth to your paintings. Focus on that today. Okay, so I am happy. I'm quite happy with this beautiful piece and how I have added tones to it. How did the tonal values study and how these beautiful flowers have come in the end? Always sign your paintings. Let's give you a lot of confidence and help you to own your paintings. 9. 10 FLOWERS you can paint with one color !: Class, I'm going to show you what all you can create with just one color.
