2. Blocking in Using Fan Brush: Hi, and we'll come
back to a new video. And this video, let's
go ahead and see how to paint pine tree
using a fan brush. This is the number
two fan brush that I'll be using for
the first pine tree. Okay? So we'll go some black
for the blocking in part. In this video we'll focus on the blocking in part history. Okay load brush full
of paint. Just wiggle. Look at that full of paint. Okay. Now we need a stem
or a tree trunk and a temporary tree
trunk so that we have some guide as to where
leaves are going to grow. So let's sort of have
that tree trunk. Beautiful little one tree trunk. Let's come right over here. Yeah, there we go.
Okay. That's sort of ahead with the
leaves and the foliage. Even this is the blocking
in part for the foliage. This is just for reference. Okay? And let's start
off on the bottom. Usually, we start
from the bottom and work towards the top. And I'm tapping it very lightly, very, very, very lightly
and very gently. Okay? The bottom
can be thick and the middle part has to be
thick to look realistic. I'll take in more start color, black color, same more brush, and it's come over here near the tree trunk and it's sort
of come out of it just a bit so that we get
some exposure as to how the tree is
going to grow, okay? You don't have to be symmetric. In fact, there shouldn't
be symmetric at all. Look at that? We're almost
getting the tree shape, and that's sort of
come right over here, and it creasing small that. I'm letting most of the leaf leaves to pop out with the help of
the tip of this brush. Come over here too. Last in more of that. It has to be meaningful. So just have to make some tweaks here and
there sometimes. Yeah. There we go. Load the brush again. Now
amazing side of the brush, you can see the
side of the brush. Amazing. You get
that thin strokes, thin leaves at the top. 90 degree and slowly open up as you go towards the top slowly and gradually,
you can take your time. Yeah, there we go. Turn the brush on
the other side, sort of play some more of that. Look at that, you've
got pine tree. In the next video, let's go and see how to apply the highlights and pine tree using the
fan brush. Thank you.
3. Highlights Using Fan Brush: Hi, and we'll come
back to a new video. In this video,
let's go see how to paint in the highlights
for the pine tree. So for that, I've got
some lemonello or lemono on my palette and
just sort of sap green. Okay, on that same
old fan brush, and I've cleaned my fan brush, low the brush full of paint, especially at the tip
of the brush. Okay? And let's come Why decide from where the
light is coming for me, the light is coming
from the left. So I'll go in this
direction and don't try to, you know, tap it too hard. Take your time. It's okay. Yeah. Sort of litten in there and sort of make it to
come a bit outward. And this is not completely dry. This is almost tacky, and this is the right
moment to go ahead and paint. Look at that. We should let it dry for
a couple of minutes. After waiting for
two to 3 minutes, it's almost dry and
I'm using acrylics, so it will dry very
quickly compared to oils. Look at that, tap in it and
tap it very lightly even when you're having the blocking in part as well as when you're
painting the highlights. As we go towards the top, reduce the high nights a bit, reduce highlights in a sense. Just add more green and
less lemon or limelo. Okay. So there we go. Interesting
things happening. I'll take some lim
now just for sake of variety variation of foliage on these tree and leaves. That. So now, when you're looking at this pin ry, I'll tell you. So when you're looking at
this, it's like just said, left side is highlighted and the right side is left in harrow how do you deal with
that? I'll show you. Just go and wipe off your brush. Don't clean it, just
wipe it off. Same brush. And as you wipe off your brush, you'll have some strains
of that green color. Okay. Back. And let's take
this to our advantage. Come back and just tap it in between that darkness
and the highlights. I got to get some middle
ground between the two. Look that tapping it. Simple. You see a lot
of strokes coming out? Yeah. There we go. This
looks much better. Again, without
cleaning the brush, I'll just go straight
into some limo. Okay? A some here tip.
That's way too much. Let's play in more of that
highlights here and there. Tap in that again. Using
the same old brush. I can come on our side
as well, do that. Tap it very lightly,
very gently. Do it with a lot of patients. There we go. We
have a pine tree. And if you want, you can go with another coat of highlight. That is stream highlight. I'm using only lime
mellow this time. Better let it touching the surface because we want
this to be realistic as well. At the same time we want this to look beautiful, peaceful, nice, and I'll help you
that I'm showing you that. Look at that. Yeah. And again, go back,
wipe off your brush, wipe off as much paint
as possible. Come back. Come here. Sort of tap it. Even if you lose the darkness, you can go with the
same procedure. Take some black paint,
wipe off the brush. You'll have some stains, black stain on the
brush and just go and tap it on the highlights. Then you'll get it balanced. You'll get a beautiful
little balanced version. So you'll make sure that the
tip is slightly more fluffy. Taking some of that green paint. I'm here. Yeah, there. Making some final catch ups. I just bring the
camera slightly up. We need to deal with
the foliage on the top. I'm not going to take
a brighter color. Usually the top part
will not be that right. So it'll be the thinnest
part of the tree. That's another observation
which you can see here. Look at that. Beautiful.
Once you get a control, you can just go and play around
with this. There you go. Okay. Just a bit I want to go on these yellow his tap or
just tap or to. That's it. Yeah, we have it. Okay,
so in the next video, we'll go and see how to paint a pine tree with
a different brush, which is different from
painting with a fan brush. Okay? It's a different
technique and it's very good. Even this is good, and
you'll see the other version of this with different
brush. Thank you.
4. Blocking in Using Modified Flat Brush: Hi, and welcome
back to new video. In this video, that's good to
see how to paint pine tree with a different approach
by using a different brush. That is the modified flat brush. Let me give you a
brief description about this brush that I'm using. It was a flat brush
when I purchased this. Any flat brush will do it, and I cut the bristles
and made them uneven. And by usage, as you keep on tapping with regular
usage, it has opened. The bristles have opened up, so you can see that it's going towards the
top and it's opened up. This doesn't look like
a flat brush at all, and I'm going to convert
this into my advantage. And let's paint the pine
tree with this brush. Okay. We'll take in some black. The same pile of black
used for this tree. Stload brush full of paint. Wo same size trees
get in the stem. It's not as thin
as the fan brush. But of course, with
regular usage in practice, you will know how to
manipulate all this. Is going to give
the blocking in. In the meanwhile, let's
get the tree trunk. Okay, let's take that
as a tree trunk itself. Let me just move the camera. Yeah, there we go. Let's sort of come right here. Let's past. In this technique,
you have more control over the tree than
the fan brush because the fan brush is big
compared to this brush. And you got a lot of
textures in this brush, or you could even
do a patty paint. That's a good idea as well. So I'll be taking
some black. Simple. So black. So tapping
tapping, tapping. Similar approach, use
a different brush with a slightly more
controlled technique. You'll have slightly more
control over what you're doing. So that's the reason
I use this brush. I use both the techniques. Both the techniques go well. You can try both and you can
see which one works for you. And the plowing in part
is very, very important. That's going to decide that's the foundation of the subject. For example, of this tree,
this ploging in part is the foundation for this
tree for the pine tree. Okay? So place right over there. They don't have to be symmetric. They shouldn't be symmetric
as they told you before. You get a lot of control on
this and still, there we go. Let's sort of load the
other side of the brush. Let's get it to the
same height, almost. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Now we'll take in
some flat paint. Let's sort of open
up this tree a bit. Let's give the tree a bit more of openness and
exposure and whatnot. Yeah, there we go. Okay. Is something here too, to make them look realistic. You've got to do some touch
up initial touch ups. Okay? Yeah. Just bring the camera this side,
and there we have it. Okay. And I want it to be
quite dense here. So I'll take the excess
paint from there, and I'll just transler that
I'm not taking new paint. Either I'm reloading the brush. I'm taking some extra paint from there and applying
it here, as you can see. Now, I'll go ahead and give the realistic touchs in
the blocking in part, which is very crucial. Yeah. They will make
them very uneven. Very, very uneven. They shouldn't be
mirrored or symmetric. Just make them uneven uneven and that's the half job done. Yeah. So the next video, we'll go and see how to paint the highlights with
stream. Thank you.
5. Highlights Using Modified Flat Brush: Hi, and we'll come
back to a new video. In this video, let's
go and see how to paint highlights
on this pine tree. Okay? As you can see, I use the same
brush for painting the walking part of this tree to get those
textures, nice little textures. And now, I'll take it some
limelGreen sap green. You know, toms of paint. On the palette It's too
much paint on the palette, but very little on the
brush and apply moderate pressure sort of come on
the outer part, not inside. Don't start from inside
in this approach. G from the outmost part
and start painting it. You will get it. I'm sure
you'll get it. Look at that. This gives you a more
realistic effect as well as a good tone and nice textures which will enhance your
landscape paintings, just like this one. Ago protect. This one, this technique can be
used in mid grounds, and this can be used highly in foregrounds because
of its textures, its clarity, its
contrast, all of that. That's the way you've
got to look at it. Okay? So painting in here, too. Yeah, I like it. I hope
you're liking it, too. Sort of come right away here
and just kind of play here. So we're going to play with
the tones, shadows, contrast. And the color, most
importantly, it's the color. Simple let's come over here
and faces more of that. As you go to the top, let's hold the brush to me this way
that it faces towards you. Place it in there. Now leave that let's
concentrate on the body. The lightly here and there, not too much, and I'm not
wiping my brush neither. I've cleaned my brush. Of course, I cleaned
my brush after giving the blocking in
part for this tree. Just a bit of touches. Make them look smooth to
make them a realistic photo effect. All right. Okay. There we go. We have it. And now I'll take
in some lime lou and brightest color
possible from my palette. Let's sort from here and
paint in some more of that. And make sure you start from the outer part and go towards
in the part slowly and start from the bottom
and go towards the top for this technique. Okay. Start with that.
Yeah. There we go. I'll take in thick paint,
relatively thick paint. Place in ver. Don't overdo it. Otherwise, you
lose the textures, and you lose that
effect eventually. So we're looking for some
contrast and realisticness. Okay. Now let's come
right away with some more paint and
get gradual transison. That's it. There we
go. Now I've taken a slightly brighter
colour by using lemonlo. Okay? And I'll just make sure
it's the tip of my brush, and again, for the
most part I painted. And this is quite easy as well. This requires the staffing
and some patience. Don't use pure lemloH some
intensive green as well. You can add in some loca. Depends on the context or the subject of the
painting you're painting. There's some here and there. That's it. You have it. Stack. Now I'll go back to my greens. So in that first. Yeah. There we go. Look at that. And I'll just
wipe off my brush. Very well. And I'll go to some black and start off from the bottom
because you need contracts. That's the reason, you
can use some Black. Especially on the
right in this case, tapping it very
gently very lightly. Don't lose don't lose
precious highlights. Tap it very gently. I'll take it some black on
the other side of the brush. Right here. Small darkness
or textures rather. Okay. Now, I just wipe off this brush and so the
top and sort of fix this is sort of laying
around with the darks, lights, tones, shadows,
colors, shapes, angles. Yeah. There we go. Okay,
so the next video, let's go and see how
to paint the tree this much and for this
one. Thank you.
6. Tree Trunk Painting: Hi, and we'll come
back to a new video. In this video, let's go
and see how to paint the tree trunk of
these two trees. For that, let's
take in some round, some white, some black. Makes a beautiful
little neutral color. Take that color. As we'll do it one which is at the right slow,
slowly. Very gently. Touching it here and there not everywhere. Yeah, there we go. Thick. Afterwards, you can
just go ahead and maneuver it, but just get the basic sheets and get the basic sheets.
You can do it easily. I want to get some bone
Sienna and some this colour. Simple, and let's
I don't here too. Look at that? That blends
well. There we go. Similarly, we'll go and do this. I've not added water
or any medium for this to paint anything
in this entire class. Let's, that's enough. That's that. Let's come over here
to this one and blend this lend this. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so this, I come to the end of this class. I hope you've enjoyed it. I hope I've added some value
to your knowledge. I hope I've added some value
to your painting skills, especially for
painting pine trees. Thank you so much for watching. And I'll see you
in the next class. Till then, take care
and buy for now.
