Art Supplies: To help you get started, I will share my list. Joe farts have plays that you're required to being this lovely artwork, including precious Spain's papers and much more. First, dot with pins. These are the brand of paintings that I use for this particular PD. But it's not compulsory to have the same brand of fabrics. You can also try with any Brando backlinks at your hand. Next, coming two brushes. In general, I use blood pressures for my painting techniques, but you drive it and rapacious. I will demonstrate the use of the two pressures in detail in this Bayesian section. Next, unities, liner brushes. If you don't have line of wishes, you can use around British yet smaller says, I haven't mentioned all decides details in the painting section. This one is a spatial brush that I used to paint sand off the flowers. Instead of this, you can use round brush. I will show you the alternatives of this brush and lead a session. To make the painting process symbol. I used this daunting doors to creativities. Instead of this, you can use handed over your brushes. Next is the pencil. This is a Warner used to sketch my sketches in stroke this Godfrey brushes. You can use a round brush or makeup brush like this as an alternating. Next is the balanced. I used settlement blades or glass as the balance. For this painting. I use Fabriano white bit, but you can also practice on crisis technique or normal paper. You can check out my previous class to know more about the paper that I use for the spending they keep. Finally, you need some water and tissue paper. These are the arts or plays you require to create this painting. So let's get started. 3. Basics of Poinsettia Flower: In this section, I am going to take you through the basic strokes that are necessary for painting the points it there forever and the holly leaves. So let's get started. Before beginning, I would like to share a few things about the paper that I use for practicing or in the beginning stages. You can use normal pebbles. Here I used the back Fabriano paper because the black color reshaped do show up the color gradients and it is more visible. That's why I choose that paper. But it's not compulsory. You can use normal whitepaper for practicing the basic strokes. So grab your paper and some pain decor bridge and let's paint with me. In this basic media session, I will demonstrate this Drugs in today. Brushes. E1 is flat bridge and other one is angry perish. So you can practice and learn with flat or angular brushes. I think it will be more helpful for the choice of your precious so you can grab your brushes of any size of flat and angled brush. I mentioned the color details and wish details in the left side of the video. There is no need of exactly the same colors in venues. Any color at your hand or similar, Carlos, you great. Deci, by loading are valid. Decoder mondo pain to our drying tape, or you can stay bitter water on your ballot. Debate this by developing, you need to learn to different stocks, one for the leaves and another one for the syllabus. It also expand your confidence in practicing and painting that's drugs in general. You will learn and practice how to create betters for bending the leaves and flowers. And I will help you and learn some tips and tricks on how to deal with the mistakes. So let's begin. Best moist division using clean water and wipe off the excess water using a clean papered over. For this painting technique, I don't use any mediums. I always use water as a medium. But if you are not comfortable in using water, you again use other mediums, hoarder convenience. Next step is to larger brush. Note one end of the race using one color and the other edge using the second current as shown here. Next, vendor colors using a back and forth movement as shown. Lord, to do three times and blend the colors so that there is sufficient brain on the British. This will help to get his motive law, make this drops. And this is the basic method for loading the bridge to pain, any kind of lovers RNAs. So in the beginning you have to practice these really vague because it's the basic like how to load, because the correct loading will help in the corrected gradients. Now I am going to show you a basic and symbols talk that you have to learn in the beginning stage. The first debate is extraordinary day show here is that cortisone known flat stroke. It is a symbol stroke, but need to be practiced to get the guard gradients. Make it slowly and smoothly as shown here. If you rash, then the pain they will get. The next step and they will not have a good infinite. So be Bayesian and make the strong snobbery, especially for a beginner in this painting technique. And as you can see from the strokes, how the color gradient is achieved using the two color blending technique. We will get shadows, highlights, and colored scenes in one stroke. So you have to keep practicing the basics before going directly into painting leaves or flowers. You divide them as dx by replaying the strokes using the same galactose and the blending methods. Next I am going to show you the kind of use grok this way and really helpful in painting calling names. There are poor use drug, are downloading a stroke. You can practice these drugs fewer bands to get to exactly what these hold your breath in the distillate, then press down so that the blustery bit. Then moving the downward motion. Without any regal moment, I lifted the British in legislate. When you get done, you she repeated same procedure in the upward direction to get the upward stroke. You get practice these drugs using a flat brush or with an angle brush. So you have to practice these drugs as many dimes, getting that exactly the same. Next I, how those days like how much pressure you need to apply to the brush. If you add up linearly related pressure, the structure would be very small. So if we need in our just drop, you have to apply the pressure according to that. So it doesn't matter if you need a large brush or a smaller brush, but you're going IT smaller stroke with the same brush, with same size. So now I'm going to show you how to bend holy lives using these drugs. First I draw a sketch of the hoary leaves. Then I'm going to load my brush with the colors and applying the strokes that we learned before to get DAC wholly different effect. As you can see em painting one stroke at a time. And after eater stroke, I reload my brush. So you again follow the same method to achieve the holy lives. You have to practice different posture of the same stroke like sidewise are poor downward, then only you cannot see the holly leaf effect with this drug moment. So keep practicing. 1r strokes are perfect, then go with leaves. If the band you are using is looking Melodyne spit in oil, you're not getting that current gradient. One thing you do is after each stroke, you're gonna play second chord like this. The executive richness to the leaves or flowers or veterans who are pending. If you are curious to learn more about the banding technique, I have applauded underclass previously in that class I demonstrated more basic stocks, pit downloadable worksheets. So you can check them out and let me know. You can be in the next half of the leaf from top to bottom or from bottom to top, I will show boat the mothers here. You can pay into the veins using the The brush or you can use liner brush to calculate the leaf structure. Next I'm going to show you how we can pain without Deniz case or without any reference like a free hand painting. I'm incorporating Aldous drugs we really learned before. And I'm making the same stroke moment to achieve the leaf without any sketches. Now I again show you leg, you refute drew worth the brush moment like the darker dawning said, on the lighter Don outside. And in the reverse order, the effect should be really different. So if you're comfortable in that, you can practice that. So it will get more 3D look to the leaves, as you can see from here, how the change of the position of the British help in getting that different gradients to the leaves. So once you are comfortable and once you are getting the straw properly, you can practice in that way. Do. Next, I am going to show you how we can use angry branch to create the same stroke moment and the same leaf FX. Before that I wash my brush and keep it safe. No boys, my angle brush, wipe off the excess water front or brash. And Lord, double-edged using the same method as we load Flat Bush once said with a darker color and other side with lighter color, blended very softly and smoothly. Loader bridge do 2-3 times. Once you are sad, dissuade of getting enough paint on our brush. And we can practice the same strop moments if you are a beacon it, and then come to paint the leaves. Now I am going to show you how we can paint leaves using the stock that we learned before. See, we are getting the same stroke and same shape using angled brush. So there is nobody aboard. If it is ugly bridge or if it is plaid bridge, you can see the same effect it was embodied pressure. So if you have both pressures, you can practice with both the pressures. Or if you are having only one bridge, if it is flat or if it is angle, you can practice with that. So there is no need to buy two pressures or there is no need. Why? Do much brushes? And if you need any corruption, you can correct like this. Like if some strokes are not getting properly, you can reapply the pain like this and you will get the correct Gideon sand colored gone to at least. Next, I am going to show you some stocks that didn't necessarily to create points at yet. For that, I'm using infrared parish Lord the British with one color and warning and other activities they can color as shown here. If you're not comfortable in loading Duke or at London, you can go with one color, blend the colors using a back and forth movement as shown, lower due to three times and blend the colors so that there is sufficient pain on diminish. This will help to get a smoother flow. Need to make this trucks for you intend meanings. I am marking the starting point and Point of one side of the licks. It will reward him for a full blindness stem from where to start and when to pain. The stock holder brush on legislates, then press the tilde Tao, and we're good. We're British in upward direction and in the Nazi slit as shown here. And repeat the process due next to half of the leaf. If you want, you can now play, say can call on top of the Lord and blended that colors as needed after eater stroke so that there is sufficient pain on the British or the next truck. As you can see, like, I'm not using any mediums added than water. But I'm really amusing Barilla, Sam or Nevada for my stroke painting. So you can follow this to achieve moisture on your brush. Now I'm going to show you how the pressure you are applying on the Bristol will affect the size of the petals. So next stroke, I'm playing very less seminar pressures. So I'm getting really smaller on lean leaf using the same size perish. So it's all depend on how much pressure you are applying to their breasts. So once you are getting in touch with the stroke moments, you will understand how much pressure to apply on your brush. So in the beginning there is no worries about the pressure or anything. You can just practice. And gone with that once you are getting the flow or once you're used to with the strokes, then you can make changes and make mediations due to a stroke. That's where you have to practice or destructive. Next, I will show you a simple technique to learn the bigger moment for the time for stem showing you simplicity or drugs talk like this. So you have to repeat and beyond and decentered drop nearby, nearby like this. Then once you get half of the leaf shape, then worked harder, do is reload your brush and paint on top of that with us more video moments. So this is the same thing that we've done before to the leaves. So you can practice if you are not getting the biggest or properly practice in this space too. So I think this drop moments will help you learn how to pain points it. Yeah, so in the next section, we will going to incorporate all these drop moments and all these B, all these techniques to create that beautiful points at the unholy leaf painting. Next, I will show you how we can create strokes using angled brush. So it will be more easy for you to understand what the difference between our all onward, the difference we get by using flat brush or anger pressure. So I am loading my in the same way. I say Lord, my flat brush. And they'd do the same stroke moment that they issue before. So you can follow the same method and you can practice each stroke one-by-one before going to pay the flavor and delis. That's the main thing you have to focus on. So don't go directly to pain leaves or flowers. You have to start from the basic, then you will get more confident and more expediently in painting leaves and flowers. So I hope this video is really helpful for you to learn this banding technique. If you have any doubts regarding the glass or any doubts regarding their paintings, you can just come in, in their discussion session. Just give it a try and recreate it and enjoy the process. And also you can share your recreation and, or if you have any doubts, you can just come and below. I hope you enjoyed watching this process or let's move on to the next main bathing session. Thank you. 4. How to Paint Poinsettia Flowers: Hello everyone, welcome back. In this video section, I'm going to show you how to paint this beautiful painting. Before begin painting, I would like to show you how his case that abcdeSIM on a paper. You don't need. This gets to be perfect. But if you need, you can now run this case, but I'm dead association. This getting is just yet our friends to the painting. That means I'm just adding the placement of your eyeballs on leaves. The sketchy will help getting a clear idea on how the finite bringing that look like. In general, the sketching is really optional. We can do free-hand bending news, this one struck by Indian technique, but I prefer to scarce the baton or designed to know how they are arranged. Flowers and leaves will be. So it will give more clarification and more view to the final painting. So always are arranged the Neves and flavors in position. So the rough sketch even gave more understanding of that. So there is no need to get the exact picture or things you want to base, even if a round circle or deci shape is wine for sketching. That means for the flowers you can just around rounded somewhere unfolded, use Uganda rounds are there. Likewise, you can do so, but if you, if anyone need the exact schedule or funded up our first site, you can download it from the resource section. So I hope this gets really guide, getting more guidance do Bay in with conference. So let's start. Now start bending. As we learned in the previous Basics section medio, I am following the same procedure to paint the leaves and the flowers. So before beginning or before heading to this part, you have to watch the basic media session and practice all the strokes and more to the section. So it will be more than for you to understand what I am doing here and what I am going to show you in this and you will get more confidence in painting. Oh, begin watching many seigneurial first, then come again here and practice along with me. Let's bring some lease for us because I always focus on some Underneath leaves. That means I like to shop my flowers, so I always put some leaves underneath. That's why for Spain, leaves by D if you want to pain or if you wish to pain flowers you again portal flowers first. So what I'm doing here is I'm doing some little moments draw to achieve this. Nice. You have to practice this drug fueled dying. So maybe in the beginning you won't get it the, the scene, but keep practicing and you achieved it. I suggest you to practice the basic strokes before drying out to be three levels of leaves directly. Because those are the basics of one stroke painting technique or those are the basics of stroke painting. If you practice it today, it will be more easy for you to handle the stroke moments and how the outcome will be. So you will get more clear understanding and confidence while new practice that basics. So you have to practice the basics, then go, go with levels or leaves. In the basic video session, i All the strokes that do require to create this particular flowers and leaves. So keep practice that straw sand. You will get confidence in painting this flower bouquet. So I think you will check it out and if you have any doubts or if you have difficulty in practicing or even as few small doubts, you can just tell me I will, I will give you feedback as soon as possible. So practice this drugs and I think you will learn this technique so easily. And also included is more project for you to try out. Try it with the instruction that I give on in that possession. You can now download the PDF file and you can bring the long, like as we learned in the basic blast section and go try to recreate it. And once you getting that symbol stroke, I think it will be more easy for you to be in complicated or you can add more detail flowers and leaves. In the basic blast section, I have shown all this symbol and minor details, so don't get confused was all before heading to Dizzy Miss session, you have the y's my basic video because I, I introduce all this basic, basic strokes and moments with all the details I have mentioned, that's where I wanted to be doing it here. But I think that we do will be helpful for creating this drop. And I can give a dip like if you find like you are painless faded transport and law in the first problem, not getting the exactly the same color, don't you cannot play or replay the paint again to get it. So what I'm doing here is, I first thought that leaf would be perfect for the flavor. But after paying event holiness, luke really also, I repainted and a character that mistake using the streams drug, I'm Carlos. So you then also make these kinds of changes to your work if you find any mistakes or there is no worry of all mistakes or not. The Chinese Leica at deduce using simple and easy logic. So it will be more careful letters. Now mourn to bending the flowers. So in the beginning for the lease, I use flat brush, but for the flowers, I'm using angled brush. But it's not compulsory that do need an anger brush, you can use blood pressure. In the basic video session, I have shown both the mothers like warping yours and how to use for you then go and check that. So nobody a vote. If you don't have an angular pressure at this point, you can use your flat pressure and let's do the same stroke moment. So I explain this kind of stroke moment, this moment in the basic video section. So one to check it, I think it will be more easy for you to follow here. So please go and check that. Before painting flowers or at least what I follow US, I always took a real reference like a real picture. Do you know how the structure of the flowers will be? So when I notice the points in the original flower, so I bought a notice these like it says 6-bit and flower underneath and on. Inbetween tuber does there is one more vector. So I'm focusing on daga, daga my schedule. So following the same pattern like so. Firstly, I give on a darker shade hasta underneath but tell so their TOP better blend I darker, light, maybe more popping up. So what I do is I am applying and binding six petals underneath with a darker, don't dark blue as the shadow area. So because it's perfectly black. But I always prefer to use blue shades. Because if I go into directly black, I don't feel like the painting some darker shades. You can go with the rules or grayish blue, that shade will be perfect. So I'm mixing them blue with rare to get that exactly darker shadow to the petals. So you can follow in that way. So another thing is if you want getting that exact dish, a painting, you again give the undertone bit darker so that the outer pedals is due for from the inner better. So I'm falling that these few things in my paintings. So you can also focus in that. And in sometimes if the underpins our vet, that means your first day layer of petals are red. So on top of that, if you're painting the next battle, it may be meso board mix it up. So what do you do at that point is you can just wait for a second or you can be in another and their pain and their petals before, before that painting to get right. So you can follow that thing to avoid that messing up. But if once you are a practiced and once you are getting into that flow, there is no need of 18 because I am used to be that that sway I if I am following the same flow where the fear in the beginning, maybe you won't be getting that exactly that what I am, I am bending here. So you again wait for the underpaid tends to dry out. And then after that you can paint over that. So it will be more helpful for you to get the richness and award. Messing up. The technique that we are going to use in this class will help you to train your eyes and hands to work faster and precisely. Which is very great for artists with different levels of skills. As always, it's help you anything you are find challenging because in the beginning you may feel it's quite easy to do. But once you get into that, you may feel level. It's not that much easy, but don't fare w, you can achieve this by width of the few practices, just few practices only. So I think I'm more confident in you that you will get it and you will get more ideas. I bought this one shopping in technique and I hope this will be more confidence and I think probed more videos for you and technique. Well, yeah, I am again and again bailing on the same day because I need some fraction, some mistakes or some new embryo again. Same straw up on top of that. So it will be even. And before painting the second layer of petals or that the under beta's is fully dry. And for the DOE perpetrators, you just try to give more lighter shade than under betters. So if you need, you can use lighter red or you can add a bit of yellow. Danger to the bed tells Lego to their red cards so that adopt better, better show up more. So you can try in that we have already FU have more lighter red corral. You can choose that when asked that dope layers. So it will it will help in getting the pedals to bob up more. He and I am mixing some in-law with Don to get more brighter red carpet or to pop up there. Or you can do in this paper. And am I adding some foiling petal shapes to create more a realistic look to the painting. Actually, I, in my previous session, I have shown all this symbol, basic dew fall, the pedals, everything. So you can also check my previous class for the no more strokes and the more deep sand, more, more kind of strokes to practice. So I hope we will check it out. And if you have any doubts regarding the strobe moments or even brash or even paid. You can desk comment below. B then also correct some mistakes like this. I want that leaves to focus on more darker side, so I am just reload, publish with the same color or you can make somewhat the color like a media scholars. And do those drugs to achieve this darn. And you can do this directed areas where you need correction or not. You're going to also add different collect on Lee's rather than a singly dawn of Carlos. That will be more why brands and more richness to the painting. You're going to also be in the leaves after bending the flowers. As they mentioned. Like I always prefer to Bain Lee's class because I want my flag goes to focus more. So I always. At least for us, so burnt because if you want to wish to being lovers first, you can follow that. And as you can see from here, I add leaves later so you can just doing that. We also heroes, I want to add one more early. So I'm doing the this, bending their knees in this way. So you again following any of this, but I always prefer to do least fast. So it will be more like neatness and it will give more later. Flower is popping on top of that leaves. You again follow in the thing that you are comfortable with it. Now going dinner Most assemblers bad in this painting that adding the cherries, you again use any size of Golding tool for making this theory. I am using a very small lording door if you want or if you wish to pain a larger juries, you can use larger doting door or even you again use your round brush or handed off your brush you can use instead of this door, dare, if you don't have your door window, don't get confused. You can use ROM branch or you can use handed off your brushes. It's everything works fine. This and also in the projects session, I have shown with larger dotting tool. So once you go and check that you can find like I used large exhorting door for painting the project. The foreign part is adding the highly, highly d will give more to the effect of that series. So I'm just using a pure white and some small brush to add some tiny dot on the side of the theories. If I focus, if you can give highlighted on the right side there is nobody is. My in my mind, the light coming from all the reflection should be from the website. So I added the white dots on the left side. If, if your thought is like the reflection is from the right side, you can add dots to the right, so no worries. Now you can treat like the series look really 3D. Next step is to add some tiny little branches that attaches the cherish that will be more realistic look to their painting. So for that you can use a liner brush, or if you don't have a liner brush, you can use very nice thin round brush for this. So the very thin lines will give more look to the painting because we're focusing on the flowers first. So if we are more thicker lines or if we're more to the lines, I won't be perfect because the theory is very small. So Geico give very small deadlines or it will give more perfection and it's a very pleasing to your ISO. So on giving, adding tiny lines. So for that you can use very thin liner brushes. Maybe I think its zeros at all. To pursue over we find some. And also one number one branch will be fine. So just add some bit more water on the pain to get very thin lens because if you if you if the pain is dig, you won't get that. It feel like very sticky. And this boy and I am using to cover the center area for that I am using is car-free bird, but it's very optional. You can use around the bridge to cover their center off the areas where I feel like garfield brush will deal with more something texture to the sender of the areas. That's very amusing that, but it's not the combustor it then you again use rounded brush INSEAD. And also I have mentioned some alternate is in my Arts of playlist. So you can go and check that for the altar, ordinate the mother for this car-free brush and this boy name I didn't somewhat fine. Dots like find sender areas. As you can see from the real points at Deaf law by something greenish and Louis de understand of the gravel. So I am just recreating that effect are my flowers. So I am just adding small greenish tacked to the sender, a very small round brush. I hope this video is very helpful for you. Do pain points at the end. Holy lives.
