Let me make this quick, so that you can get painting right away!

My name is Sophia and I teach realistic paintings in watercolor and colored pencils. When I started painting, I wanted to tackle all kinds of different subjects and my book also covers everything from architecture, to botanicals, animals and landscapes - it's perfect to get you started on your artistic journey.

Since then, I have however settled into painting realistic everyday objects, specifically jewelry and anything that has a shiny, reflective or metallic surface.

Painting these objects is always a challenge, but one that can be met with ease, especially when you've got a few painting tricks up your sleeve and I'm here to show you what th... See full profile

Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hi, thank you so much for tuning in. This is a mixed media tutorial. We're going to paint this alarm clock in watercolor and color pencil. I chose to paint this illustration in mixed media because I think it's just always fun to use two different kinds of paints, and also combining color pencil with watercolor makes this a much more beginner friendly tutorial. I will run you through the basic techniques of both colored pencil and watercolor. If you're already familiar with those, you can just skip ahead and start painting right away. If you do like this class, please take one or 2 seconds at the end and give it a good rating to keep the class on the platform. It will really help me more than you know. 2. Materials: The materials for this class are pretty straightforward. We're going to be painting on hot pressed watercolor paper. Then you'll need your set of watercolors, three brushes, size, four, one, and an eradicator brush. I have a mechanical pencil, a small paper smudger, a sharpener, eraser, cup of water, your set of colored pencils, and then to do the outline tracing paper and charcoal paper, and then a piece of paper towel to dab off your brush, and that's it. 3. Painting Techniques: Before we get started with the actual painting, I'm going to very briefly walk you through the basic painting techniques that we're going to use. These are wet on dry glazing and using color pencils to complement and enhance our watercolors. The first painting technique is called wet on dry. If you've already painted with watercolors before, you have heard of this and you've done it a couple of times, it's basically applying wet paint to dry paper, and I just mixed up some lemon yellow here, and I'm just filling out the square evenly with my color. This is a very light wash, meaning that I have more water than watercolor on my brush right now. Wet on dry is almost always used when you're trying to paint in very small areas, and you know that you can get the paint quickly on il the paper or when you're painting very detailed work. In this course, we're going to use it to lay down the basic colors of all the different segments of the alarm clock, and then we're going to apply a second or maybe third wash of watercolor and at the very end colored pencils to enhance our colors and get the grading right and add some detailed work. So now my first wash, my base layer of watercolor is on the paper. It's completely dry, which is always the most important thing before you continue painting, and we're jumping right in with our second technique, which is called glazing. Glazing basically means that you're applying a second color of watercolor on top of your first layer. You can either do this on dry paper or like I'm doing here, you can paint the second wash on wet on wet. And to do that, you're just going to apply some clean water onto your first layer. And here, I've got some winsor orange mixed up. This mix is a bit more saturated, which means I've got more color and a bit less water. And now I'm just applying the orange onto my wet surface, and you can see how the color is bleeding into the water. That's on the paper. This is going to help me to create a smooth gradient so that the orange and the yellow are going to blend in more nicely, more smoothly. If you paint wet on wet, it means you always have a bit more time before your color dries on the paper. Which in this case is a good thing because it means I can take my time, I can blend like I'm doing here, and you can see that I've got a nice and even gradient from orange into yellow. Moving swiftly on to colored pencils. Now, this is a very brief summary and a very simplistic introduction to colored pencils, if you will. People do paint incredibly sophisticated, detailed and realistic illustrations just with colored pencils. This tutorial, however, is a bit more beginner friendly, so the introduction to the technique of using color pencil is also beginner friendly. You can see that I'm applying very light pressure here on my paper. And I am painting not in straight lines, but in small circular motions. So the key is to keep the pressure as light as you can. And it's always better to just put another layer on top if you want the color to be more saturated. But it is very hard, if not impossible to get color pencil off the paper if you've used too much pressure and you're not happy with the saturation and the intensity of the color. So now I've used the color pencil, I spread the color evenly across the whole square. And now I'm coming in with my paper smudger. And I'm just moving it across my area to even out smudge and blend the color that I have on the paper. Now, even though we're painting on hot press paper, we do still get some not really structure, but some granulation, maybe some texture with the colored pencil. And these smudges that come in different sizes. This is a bigger one. I also have very small ones that we're going to use in the later chapters. These smudges basically even out the paint that you have on the paper. So I use these in between all layers that I paint with my color pencil regardless of the illustration that I'm doing. I always use them. So now the first layer is nice and smooth, and I'm coming in with, again, the same color of paint, same yellow. And I'm just painting a second layer on top. I'm speeding up the video a little bit here. So I'm just doing what I did before. And then again, I'm going to use my smudger and soften everything. So now that the first layer of yellow is smoothly and opaque and nice and even, we're going to do the same thing that we did in the first square. We're going to use some orange. You can I think this is a cadmium orange. You can use any orange that you have. And we are going to paint a third layer on top of the yellow, and you can see that I'm really using almost no pressure. There's very, very little orange coming onto the page, and I'm doing this because I want to create a smooth gradient and because I would rather build up my colors and my layers very delicately and slowly, then just get too much color on the paint and then have my whole illustration ruined. Maybe I'm a bit too careful here, but I like to play it safe. So again, this is the paper smudger. I'm smoothing everything over, and then I'm going to add more and more orange until I'm happy with the result. So you can see how subtle and how smooth the transition from yellow to orange is here. Moving on to the third little square and our last bit of painting techniques. Now I want to show you how I use colored pencil to enhance my watercolors. So again, I'm painting wet on dry with the yellow lemon that I used in the beginning, doing the same thing, painting it on smoothly without any watermarks, and I'm letting it dry. And now that it's dried completely, I'm going to use my colored pencils just to kind of, like, yeah, really enhance the color that's on the paper. Starting with the yellow. This is a bit of a darker yellow. I think this is cadmium yellow and not lemon yellow. It's just easier for you to see. And here I'm painting with quite a bit more pressure than I did just before in the second square. But I can do this because I already have a base layer on the paper, so I don't have to create this smooth base layer. I already have it, so I can be a bit more quick with my color pencils. Now I switch to a lighter yellow. This is the lemon yellow, and I'm just finishing the whole square here. Again, I'm using the big paper smudger to smooth everything over. So I hope all of this made sense to you. There should be no surprises coming your way when we're going to paint the actual illustration. So let's dive right in. 4. Part 1: Watercolour: So I went a bit back and forth on whether or not I should speed up the painting process, and I decided on, yes. Not because the tutorial would be hours and hours and hours as long as I didn't, but just because I'm so slow at painting. When I recorded this, I think I had an audiobook or some Netflix show on. And whenever I'm listening or watching something, while I'm painting, I'm just so slow at painting. So this is twice the speed, but I think you'll still be able to follow really well. Okay. So after I've transferred the painting to the outline to my paper, now starting on the right hand side, just because I'm left handed. Statistically, most of you will be right handed, so sorry about that. But I wet the right part of the illustration with water, and I'm starting with lemon yellow, and I'm getting this onto the paper. This is a very light and even wash just to get the first base layer onto the paper and also for me to know where my lightest colors are and then later on where my medium colors will be and so on. So I'm painting all of the yellow area here in lemon yellow. The water on the paper is just there so that the wash is nice and even, and it just buys me a bit of time. I'm continuing up here with the same color, lemon yellow this time on dry paper because the area is small enough and I can get the color onto the paper without hard lines forming. Now, while the other bits are drying, I'm moving on to the clock phase. Now, the clock face itself is white, technically, but because the alarm clock is turned at an angle, there's a shadow on the right side. So I'm wetting everything with water. I'm not using too much because I don't want the color to spread uncontrollably. And then I'm going to use ultramarine to paint in the shadow, like you see here, just on the right side, and then I'm letting it bleed into the center part of the clock phase and then I'm smoothing it out. So there's a very soft transition. So the blue looks good, and now I'm using some paints gray to darken the darkest areas of the shadow even more. I'm making sure that I'm painting quick enough so that my gray comes onto the paper while the blue is also still wet so that both colors blend into each other nicely. So now that everything has dried, I'm moving towards the outside part of the clock. Again, I'm wetting the very last segment with water like you can see here, and then I'll come in with some much more concentrated cadmium yellow to get a very strong color onto it. Now, if you look at the reference image, you'll see that the color is strongest and most saturated in the middle of a clock and that there's some reflected light on the upper part and the lower part. So to illustrate that on the painting, I'm going to let the color fade out towards the top and the bottom, and that will imitate the reflection of light on the metal. Because the part we just painted is still wet, I'm not painting the segment right next to it now because then if I did, the two areas would bleed into each other and we don't want that. So I'm leaving some space between that and I'm wetting this part right here. I'm going to do more or less the same thing, wetting it with water and then coming in with some cadmium yellow, and then I'm going to intensify that on the top with some orange. So now I'm dropping in a little bit of winsor orange. The orange is a bit more concentrated because my paper is already wet, and when you have more water on your paper, you need less water in your paint. If my cadmium orange would be very diluted, it would just be a watery mess. I get blooms and it'd be very hard to control what's happening in these small areas. Trying to stay inside the lines. It's a challenge even as an adult, and here I'm blending the transition a little bit to make sure everything is nice and smooth. O. I'm turning my paper now, and I'm going to do this a lot for this illustration. It's just much easier when you can paint and keep your hands straight rather than trying to keep the paper straight and just bending your hand this way and that way. So always feel free to turn your paper around as much as you need if it makes painting easier. This is cadmium yellow, and I'm painting on dry paper. I'm painting the whole upper part except for the highlight area that you can also clearly see in the reference image. It should also be part of the outline. I'm sure it is. Otherwise, I wouldn't know. Was there while I'm painting. And while the yellow is still wet, I'm dropping in some winsor orange, like I did just before. So I'm painting the shadow with orange, and again, I'm just dabbing my brush on a little paper towel that I have on the side, and then I'm smoothing out the edges. And on this side, I'm doing exactly the same, so it's cadmium yellow first, and then winds are orange for the shadow areas. So I'm looking at this part again, and in the meantime, the paint has dried and it's dried way too light. We need much, much more contrast to make the alarm clock really pop off the page and look three dimensional in the end. So I'm just intensifying the orange again and the shadow areas. I'm painting on dry paper right now and dabbing off my brush and just smoothing it out a little bit, dropping even more orange in there because the more I can paint with watercolors, the less I have to paint with color pencil in the end. I mean, you can also do less watercolor and more colored pencil. I just wanted to adjust it while I was still at it. So now that both areas around the center part are completely dry, we can paint this bit in. Again, I'm putting down some water, nice and even, really not too much because we don't want any puddles, especially not in these small areas. So I'm just making sure that my water glaze is very even. And then I'm painting very saturated winsor orange at the top. Then towards the middle, I'm going to add cadmium yellow, and then I'm going to make sure that it fades out into the lemon yellow towards the bottom. So while I'm painting, I'm looking at the reference image, and I can see that this part up here is just way darker, really brown, actually. So I am painting in some new gambose in an attempt to make it darker. It will not work. And in a second, I'll go over it with some dark brown so you can just really skip this and drop in some Vandyk brown or whatever dark brown you have while the orange is still wet and then smooth it out and make sure that the that the blend is even. So here I'm adding the dark brown. Should have done this in the first place. But it's okay. Sometimes you try and you figure out, okay, this isn't really doing the trick, and then you do something else and then you let it dry and you add more layers, and then it all works out in the end. This is just the process. I thought I would not edit it out just so that you can see that sometimes you need to go back and forth a little bit. I'm adding even more brown. So my paper is still a little wet after this whole Van **** brown situation up there, but it's almost dry. So I'm trying to move quickly here. I have some cadmium yellow on my brush very concentrated, and I am adding a bit more depth and shadow to this side of the segment that we're painting. If your paper is completely dry by now, make sure it is really bone dry and then just wet the area again and paint in with the cadmium yellow. I'm dating off my brush and just smoothing it out. It still works, but if your paper is already too dry for you to work on it, just dry it off completely and then wet it again and start with the paint. And I'm turning my paper. This is cadmium yellow as well on dry paper. There's no need to wet an area when it's this small. It will just create a mess, potentially. I'm dabbing off my brush on the paper towel and smoothing out the transition. Then again, I've checked my reference image and saw that this part down here is really, really orange, almost red maybe. So I'm painting in concentrated winsor orange, dabbing off my brush, smoothing it out, making sure it's even. Now I'm painting in this bit. This is cadmium yellow on dry paper. Now, this is the segment that doesn't quite reach that is not right next to the clock face. So just make sure that you're painting in the right one. Like I said, this is cadmium yellow on dry paper. I'm just painting it in nice and evenly. And afterwards, I'm using my eradicator brush to smooth out the edges a little bit because I did paint slightly over my lines, but if you don't you don't have to do that. I'm also using the eradicator brush up here to smooth out the transition from the colored bit to the highlight because it's just a bit too harsh. And it is a hard line, but it's not as hard as my paint made it out to be. Also here, these are just little corrections that I'm making. Okay, now onto this side, as you can see, I'm just painting down some water, painting water. I mean, watercolors, we are painting with water, so just putting down some water. Again, not too much. And now I'm using cadmium yellow on this left side of the circle, and then on the right side of the circle, I'll paint in some Windsor orange. A a Now I'm switching to my size zero brush, and I'm adding a bit more orange to the very outside rim of the circle. It's easier to do this with a smaller brush, dabbing it off and smoothing it out a little bit, and then also adding some more orange here on the right side. A And then, again, if you look at the reference photo, you'll see that also on the left side, there is orange just on the very outside of the circle. So the paper is almost completely dry here, but I decided to keep going, and I'm just painting on some orange on the outside and then dabbing off my brush and just smoothing it out. It's more or less the same process everywhere. So now, after everything has dried, I'm coming back up to these. What are they bells? I don't know what they're called. Anyway, I'm painting the inside of it, whatever it's called, with Windsor orange. And then while the orange is still wet, I'm dropping in Van **** brown. If you look really closely at the reference image, you'll see that there is a very fine white line between the outside and the inside part of this bell part of the clock. I'm trying to preserve this white line by not painting right to the edge with the Windsor orange and I'm also not painting right to the edge with the Van **** brown. Now, if that is too fidgety for you, you can paint right to the edge and then either use your eradicator brush to erase the color and then create this highlight, or if you have white Quach or a white gel pen, you can paint it in afterwards. Same procedure on this side. Again, it is winsor orange on dry paper. And then on the top part, I'm going to paint Van **** brown, and again, I'm leaving a very fine line between the inside and the outside part of this bell. I've just decided I'm going to call it a bell. Y y So now, again, with my smallest brush, I'm going to get started on this piece of metal, and I'm going to paint it in three colors. First, I'm painting in some yellow ochre. And then while the yellow ochre is still wet, I'm dropping in Van **** brown. And I'm painting it in from the bottom towards the top and it is supposed to fade out and get lighter towards the top. And then while the color is still wet, I'm dropping in some very concentrated paints gray. So the lower part of this metal piece is going to be almost black. And then as the light hits it on the top, it'll be much lighter. A Same procedure on this side, except on this side is much more in the shadow. So I'm skipping the yellow ochre because the whole piece of metal is much darker generally, and I'm painting in a light wash of andyke brown and then some paints gray on top of it. A Moving on to the inside part of the clock, I'm painting wet on wet again. So I'm just putting down some water. You can see that the water is not entirely clean. I do have some color left on my bigger brush here, which is fine because we're going to add van **** brown and it's not going to be visible. But if you do want your white to stay white and you are painting wet on wet, just make sure that your brush is really clean because yeah, it's a nuisance if you get accidental color where you don't want it. So this is Vandyk Brown. I'm making sure that I have crisp edges here. And the top part is going to be really, really, really dark, black, and the bottom part as well. And then because the light hits it more in the middle, the middle section of this segment is going to be lighter. A I'm now switching to my small brush again just because it's so detailed towards the edges that I don't want to mess it up. And this is much more concentrated Vandyk brown. The paper is not 100% dry, it's 90% dry. So I do have a little bit of an issue with the gradient, but it's still fine. I can dab off my brush and then smooth it out. If your paper, I said this before, but I'm going to say it again. If your paper is already too dry for you to work on it, why don't we dry it off completely, wet it again with water and start painting in the color again. Okay. So I don't really have a system to paint these small bits of metal. I'm just looking at the reference image, and I'm trying to identify where is it more brownish? Where is it really dark? Where is it maybe a bit bluish because of the reflection of the light. And then I'm just painting in little piece by piece. I'm trying to preserve the white where I feel like I'm going to need a very bright or white highlight. So you can just watch me do this, I guess, and then hit pause and paint after me. The colors are Van **** brown, and then on top here is yellow ochre, and then I'm just dropping in pains gray and some more brown whenever I feel like it's necessary. But we will refine these little areas with the color pencil in the next chapter of the course. Oh so I said before that whenever you're painting in these small areas, you don't really need to put down water first. But I'm doing it here because this is a round surface. So I have a highlight in the middle, and then I have shadow on either side, and there's a smooth transition between the light and the shadow, and I want that to come across, so I am wetting it, and then I'm adding yellow ochre and then Vandyk brown, all the while making sure that I'm preserving this highlight in the middle because that will make it look three dimensional in the end. If you end up losing your highlight, it's not the end of the world. It happens. You can erase the color with your eradicata brush or you can add white paint. You can add gouache or a gel pen, like I said before, and paint in the highlight as well. So now up here, I'm painting wet on dry. As you saw just now at the bottom, I was painting wet on wet again because it was a round surface. Now, this is just a very fidgety, bit of a weird part. I'm painting yellow ochre and then gray and dark brown. If you don't get this the way you want it with watercolor, it's fine, and I would leave it more I would leave it as simple as you feel comfortable and then just add detail in the next chapter with color pencil because with the color pencil, it'll be much easier to control and to really paint the details than with watercolor on these small areas. It's a bit of a headache, to be honest, for me, as well while I'm painting this. So if you feel like you're just creating a mess right now, just leave it, and then you'll be able to correct it with colored pencils, I'm sure. This is a very transparent wash of Payne's gray. And while the gray is still wet, I'm dropping in some yellow ochre on the right side and some more concentrated darker gray on the left side. The handle is very shimmery, if you look at the reference photo. So I am painting wet on wet, again, because it's around surface, and I'm at first glance, seeing a lot of blue. It's like a blackish, blue, shimmery color. So I'm painting ultramarine blue on the outside and then dark brown, Van **** brown on the inside, and I'm just going to be alternating between these two, and then also, of course, adding some dark gray, very, very dark gray. And I'll just try to kind of imitate the reflections that I see in the reference photo. So we're almost done with the watercolor part of this illustration. I just need to paint in the two hands. I'm starting here on dry paper with yellow ochre. And then I'm painting the hands also with yellow ochre and Van **** brown on the outside edges of it only to realize that it's not going to be dark enough, and then I'll go over with brown over the whole thing. So feel free to just use Vandyk Brown here while I'm painting and wasting all of our time with yellow ochre. But it's fine. At least I hope it is. Yeah, so here. This is the Van **** Brown and then I'm realizing, no, this is not it. So I'm almost done here, and like I said, this is it. For the watercolor part, you can put your paints away and get your pencils out, and I will see you in the next chapter. H 5. Part 2: Coloured Pencil: Now it's time to deepen our colours, deepen our shadows and also paint in all the little details. I'm starting by using a black fine liner, and I'm painting in all the little lines on the clock dial and then also the numbers. Now, when you paint in the numbers, do them very thin at first and then maybe thicken them, but make sure that the lines really are straight, that your curves aren't wonky because if you mess up with the black fine liner, I don't know how you'd be able to correct it really. Now I'm using a black colored pencil to intensify the colors on the inside part of the clock here. I'm using quite a bit of pressure because the upper and the lower part really need to be pitch black. And then I have a small paper smudger and I'm smoothing out the edges. Again, going over it with the black and then smoothing it out a little bit until I'm happy with the intensity of the color and also the smoothness of the gradient. Looking at the reference image, I can see that this lower part of this metal piece is really, really dark. So I'm not even trying to do it with gray. I'm going in with black right away and smudging it out again, blending it into the watercolor, and I'm doing the same thing on the right hand side of this metal piece as well. So when I use colored pencils on top of watercolor, I almost always use the same color that I painted with watercolor. So if I paint watercolor with dark brown, I'll go over it with a dark brown pencil. Here, the section was yellow ochre, so I'm using I think this is a terracotta or also an ochre color. This is pains gray. Now I'm making sure that I have a very crisp and hard line towards the bottom, but a softer gradient towards the top, so I'm smoothing it out with my smudger on the top part. Doing the same thing at the bottom here. And then this is a very light gray. And here, like I said before in these metal parts, now it's much easier to add details with the color pencil. So I'm being very careful to preserve my white highlight because that will make it look three dimensional and more realistic. And then I'm using the pains gray and also the colors that are already on the paper to just intensify when I already have. Here I'm deepening the shadows a lot, adding a lot more pains gray. And then here's my ochre color. And I'm just alternating these. And I'm just there's really no recipe here. I'm just going along and I'm trying to build the colors gradually, and I'm trying to just make it more realistic step by step. Here I'm adding more blue because there is a very distinct blue shine to this metal and then adding black where the color is just deepest and the shadows are the darkest. A so now we're going to add a bit more color on these two bells. This is cadmium yellow, like we had before. And this is Windsor orange or cadmium orange, I know, doesn't make much of a difference with color pencil. I'm always using my smudger in between to make sure I have soft gradients. Also, don't forget to preserve your white highlights here. If you manage to do that in the previous chapter, this white little line that we were careful to paint in so wherever I see orange, I put down more orange wherever I see cadmium yellow, I use more cadmium yellow, and I'm just adjusting the colors so that my darkest yellow is the same dark everywhere, and my lightest yellow is the same light yellow everywhere, if that makes sense. And here I'm using a medium brown to deepen those little edges here some terracotta. And like I said before, this part is actually really dark brown. I didn't really paint it dark enough with watercolor. But like I said, it doesn't matter. We have the colored pencils. We can go over it. We can add a lot more color, a lot more shadow. So I wasn't too worried about it in the previous chapter, smoothing everything over. And really this whole process is just enhancing and building on what's already there. There's nothing really This is a light red, actually. There's nothing really new coming to the illustration, so I don't really know if I need to do a lot of explaining. I just keep looking at the reference, and then I keep looking at my illustration and I see, Okay, where do I need more? Where do I need less? There's a bit of a light blue tint. On the top here, that's due to the reflection. So throughout the sole section on all of the yellow parts of the alarm clock, I'm really just adding more lemon yellow, more cadmium yellow, and more orange where I basically already have it on the paper. So you can just watch what I'm doing here and then maybe hit pause and paint after me. So I'm coming back to this section again, because I'm just looking at it and it's not dark enough for me. It looks like it's been bleached by the sun or something. It's just not saturated enough. So I'm just adding more pains gray in the middle and then more dark on the upper and the lower part. And here I'm adding a bit of a white highlight that I can see in the reference image. So coming up to this bell again. So this is some more orange, and then we're going to really paint in some shadow on the inside part. Again, remember that we do have a white line here that we still want to preserve. So just make sure you don't paint over. Now coming back to the hands again, I'm now doing with colored pencil what I previously attempted to do with watercolor. I'm using a medium brown here and I'm just accentuating the outside parts of both the hands. And then I'm adding a bit more detail in the middle. Coming down here, I'm using Van **** brown and my ochre or terracotta brown, my lightest brown to adjust the saturation in the intensity down here and also to make sure that it really does look three dimensional these round bits. I'm using a bit of white again just to make sure that my highlights really pop and are really visible. I feel like they have dulled a little bit. Now, with a very, very sharp black, I'm painting in something that we didn't actually paint in with watercolors. I'm guessing that the back of the clock is black and because the clock is at an angle in the reference image, you can see a little bit of the material of the backside. So it's not all the way on the outside, it's just a little bit here and there. I didn't paint it in with watercolors this little line because I think it's much easier to do it very precise with the color pencil and the black is opaque enough. I'm actually switching to the fine liner here because I want it really dark. Just make sure the line stays quite thin. You don't want it to be too thick, otherwise, it might look weird and a bit out of place. Then also with the black fine liner, I'm adding a few more little lines just to create a bit more depth. And now we're basically done with our alarm clock. I would actually really love to see what your painting looks like. So if you want to upload it in the project section, it would be really cool for me to see what you've done. 6. Last, but not least: All right. So first of all, congrats on finishing the painting, which I hope you really did. I would love to see you upload them here on the platform so that I can see how you got on. If you do have any particular questions that didn't get addressed in the tutorial, please drop me a message either here on Instagram or via email on my website. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. And again, if you did enjoy the class, I would be really, really, really grateful if you gave it a good rating here on the platform so that it can stay on, and other people can enjoy it too in the future. Thank you.
