2. How To Paint Tree Bark: For this tutorial,
colours required for this painting are
titanium white, orange, yellow ochre,
brown and black. So we'll start off with some
white and some y ochre. Mix it separately,
and just to touch of orange to get that warmth
and just to touch of brown, mostly warm colors
and more of white. And I've just added a
bit of water for this. And let's come right
over here and just place in the tree trunk. Something like that. And I'm using the tree and
texture brush to paint a tree and make sure that
edge is very uneven. And let me just mark in
the boundary of this tree. Okay, so there we go. And now I'll take in
some brown, black, you'll ochre, all the nickel
parts and some orange. And let's come to
the opposite side of the tree and just drop in. Some of that. Just placing in some random colors because we want this to be
very, very rough. And let's splint it
off just like that. So the blocking in is done. Now this is 70% dry. And I'll go in some black
on that same brush. I've wiped off my brush, the same tray and texture brush. Lot in some black
and just a touch of brown, add in the flavor. Let's come over
here at the bottom and just drop in some textures. La in thick paint. Some places are
very, very uneven. I'm just trying to group them. We want this to be very
uneven skip some spots. That's gonna work. Maybe the shadow starts from there down to be exact center. As we nod of paint, you can increase the pressure. That's okay because
the tree trunk or the tree bark
are very uneven. And as you come over here,
add in more of brown. Something like that. And as you go towards the light, the textures get less. Look at that. The tree trunk
looks like that as of now. Now I've dipped my
brush in water, just a bit of a loak white, titanium white, brown,
and some orange. But then mostly white, I'm using more of white to
just thick in the paint, d of flatten that brush. And since this is
a worn outt brush, I'll just hold it
in a certain angle. I sort of place in the
bark of that tree. And I don't want to go too bright in the
first coat of hit itself, I don't want to
cover up everything. I would say this is a
detailed ploging in. I'm using the flat brush. Look at that the
bristles look like that. Some places it's very
thick, some are very thin, even some gap
between each stroke. Look at that. It's that easy. And if you're painting in oils, you may add just a
bit of paint thinner. The change the flavor
of that color, playing with different tones. That just like that. Is you're gonna come
there. They're gonna get mixed with a darker
color underneath. The transition will
happen automatically. That some are very thick. Some are very thin,
some are light. Skip some spots. That, it looks like
that as of now. Now we loaded that same brush with very little white paint. And let's come over here and barely applying the pressure. And just give a slight blend. I've switched over to worn out fan brush number
two fan brush. Let's see if this works. That just like that. Apply
very little pressure. So I don't need to be very even. Dip my brush in water, and I'll go in some black and brown with the rigger brush. Set the palette
aside for a moment. So now, we need to pick out individual parts
from the tree trunk. So now let's come
that were there. Pair in the surface again. We I just trying to make
them look very individual. Just a bit over here should make a huge difference and make
the painting look realistic. Will that skip some spots. Maybe there's a small
hole in the tree. And maybe let's make
this a bit bigger. And when I'm doing that,
I'm skipping some spots deliberately to make sure that they're uneven, number one. And second, if they're uneven, they look realistic
automatically. Maybe something start
with there, too. And look at those caps. There, I'm gonna add
in that plaque colour. Just to prove there too
should make it look realistic and natural and
complement the painting. Just gonna blend it. And pretty much using
the same technique, I'm gonna do this, and you'll have different
shapes going on. Just follow those angles. Look at that, that blurredness. But just below this, we'll have more of that
concentrated cracks on those tree barks
on the tree trunk. Maybe here goes another
huge one bridging the gaps. The trick here to make them look three dimensional and look like a photograph is to add in some concentrated paint
in some of the areas. Look at that just like that. And coming to this
shallow region, you'll have in some more of You could even make
use of the liner brush, the script liner brush. That's going to
work equally good or even the detailed
round brush. Let me just show you
how I load the paint. So as you can see there, I
go to the pile of paint, adding in some water or
painting from painting in oils and bring a brush to a clear place on a palette just sort of bring it to a chiseled
edge, just like that. That indicates there is more of water, which is
not going to work. And I'll take in
the brush again. Look at that. Yeah, that is the thing I want. That's a cross check
for knowing how much of water and how much of paint
is there on the brush. If we do not get chiseled
stroke on the palette, then that indicates that there is so much of
water or paint thinner. And maybe some parts will be very dense even inside
the tree trunk. Maybe that's going to
define the angle of that tree and add in
some dimension for that. Can add in more of that
darkness in the shadow region. Just plint it off, making
them very irregular. Don't get too carried
away by diet, and just gonna give
a slight plan. Now, here's something
interesting. I'll just go over here and place in some shadow to this bark. And look at that. So it looks like this. I'll go back to my flat brush, not the modified flat brush, but then the flat brush. Let's drop in another
coat of high it. Do you have a number? Not trying to cover
up everything. Maybe it'll get
concentrated over there. Turn the brush. And more orange. And let's come over here
and let's flatten up that. So first, we did the
blocking in part, and then we went ahead
with some textures, and then we placed
in some highlights, and then we mapped out each individual bark of
the tree trunk. Maybe just a bit over here
too should make a difference. I'm going to give a slight tab. The paint on the
brush is getting over, and it's getting dry. That is what we want because that'll enable us to
have more textures. This is a foreground tree, so that is gonna help us. And now I'll go into some black. Let's drop in some shadows right over there and
pull them downwards. Just blow it there, too, and pull it downwards. And here's another trick to make this look even
more texturized. Just drop in some more of that behind that
white colored thing. And give a slight plant and go back and just drop in
some more of that cracks. Basically, we want
cracks on this. Just a slide blind. Go back
to that number two fan brush. I just gonna drop in
some more of that. We hold the brush
in that angle in that side. Yeah, that works. Look at that. Try out different things,
and they will work. Now, if you look at this,
it's looking a bit too much. So I'll just take in some
plaque and just try to separate them adding in some
more textures. Okay. Now we need
some more highlights. So here, too. So just gonna
drop in some of that. No, it's not there. Watercolors
tend to dry a bit dull, so just gonna add a shade
lighter than I want. Now I'm gonna take in thick black paint without
adding water. Let's come right over
there and just drop in and make them look deep. Hello, another type
of round brush. I've taken in some white, brown, orange, yellow
touch of plaque. Let's drop in. Some
more of that highlight. Just here and there. Not
much. That's just like that. So this I come to the
end of this tutorial. I hope you've enjoyed it,
and thanks for watching.
3. Landscape Painting for Beginners - Fan Brush(Part - 1): Hi, I'm ash. And today, I'll be painting only
with the fan brush and demonstrate the
various uses of fan brush. So let's get started. These are the colors
which I'm going to be using for this tutorial. With number two fan brush, I'll take in just
a tinge of white, some green, touch of ochre. And if you want, you can
add in some blue and mostly brown and black, more of black. So with that color,
I'll go ahead and drop in just on maybe it's
too windy today. And this is a coconut tree. Something like that,
another one over there. That's just a basic reference. Now, another number
two fan brush, I'll just go ahead to get those fine detailings W
a corner of the brush, just pull down some of
those just like that. As you go inside that tree,
it's going to get denser. Get another one like that. Just hold it and just flick it outward or inward depends
the position of the tree. And I'll just drop in some individual leaves.
Just like that. For this, you need to thin
down the paint a bit. Okay like that, another one. It's going to come
off like that. Okay. And maybe another one soon come off like Look at that. I like that effect. Barely touching the surface. That creates a lot of texture. Now, let's go ahead and drop in the tree trunk for this
using the same brush, not changing the brush. Let's go and do
another type of tree. That will be highlighted
once it's dry. For this, you need to
have some basic shape. I'll create that basic shape. It's like that. Just
tapping it, tapping it. And leaving some negative spots. I'm imagining that
the sky is clear. So leaving some negative
spots some over there, too. I'm using that same color
with number two fan brush. I've changed to another
number two fan brush. Okay. Tap it harder. F dense. Okay. Now with some brown
and caddy along the brush. I'll go over here and, you know, just barely touching
the surface, barely touching the surface. And don't overdo this. Just going once and
create individual leaves. And over here to change
the angle of the brush. Just like that.
Something like that, another one's gonna
come off like that. Just flick it and leave a lot of negative spots and create
some individual leaves. Just like that, then tap it or blend them
together in the middle. Now with this very
corner of the brush, just take in the brush and tap
in some individual leaves. This creates a very natural
effect in your painting. Instead of getting
that generalized look, you can go for this detailed
look also in your painting. But if this is very far, this technique is not going to work because you need to
have lack of detailing. If you want the elements of
your painting to look far. Of course, you have
to make use of some certain colors and then
maybe create some shapes. It's like that over there. Just tap it and blend them together. And here over here. I'll just, you
know, just tap it. Just tapping it and go
ahead with the finger. To create some
variations in the shapes in the color in the value. Gonna tap it from the corner of the brush and
don't do this everywhere. Dave some negative spaces. Come outside your
sketch. Okay, like that. Now with a highlight color, I'll go over here and, you know, just drop this color
over here, too. It's just over there.
Another one over here, too. Then another one
comes off like that. And this is going
to be very limited. This highlight color is
going to be very limited. Tap it in the middle.
That same color, and go ahead and highlight
this part of this tree. It's like that, and,
you can just tap it. Don't do too much of tapping. Maybe some over here too just to indicate something's
happening over there. Okay, and then I'll drop in, and I'll show you
how to do grasses. Just tap it. Look at that. I'm going to leave some
negative spots. That is a dark. If I had not painted
anything underneath that, I would have gone ahead
with some darker colour then would have
painted this one. Look at that. You just get
that grass very instantly. Super valuable effect.
4. Landscape Painting for Beginners - Fan Brush(Part - 2): With another number two
fan brush, I'll just, you know, go ahead
with some pine tree. For that, you need
to just block it in. Is this gonna come
towards the bottom. I'll get bigger. Okay, something like that. At the top, I'll use another
number to fan brush. For that, I need to have a defined edges like
that and, you know, just from the corner, very corner or the very
edge of the brush, just tap it in. Okay. I get hundreds
and thousands of leaves look over here, here, by tapping very lightly. Look at that, I'll
create another. With that, I'm getting
it over there. And that's going to make
it look very natural. Okay, like that, and, you know, let's go ahead
and highlight this one. For that, you know, you can
just tap it very lightly, very, very gently,
barely touching it. Just like that. I have to go
real quick because I have to also blend it.
Okay, like that. Now I've wiped off my brush, and I'll just go
ahead with this. I like that, you know? Change angle of the brush. And if you want to have
another type of grass, I'll show you just to flick
it up, just like that. So just flicking
it up helps a lot. And make very defined
of each blade of grass. Now, let's say you want to
paint midground bushes. So for that, I'll just
drop in some basic shape. Okay, something like that. Make it very irregular.
Look at that. That irregular shape helps. Okay, something like that. Now with the mid tone color, I'll just go and, you know, crop in some
texture on these bushes. Tapping it. Don't give too much details because this is not
a foreground bush, it's midground bush. So that. I've taken a lighter colour, opened up the bristles
and we're just going to tap it almost in the
corner, like that. Bring it a bit outward.
Something like that. Over there too.
This is mid ground, so just go ahead and drop
in the grass very flat. Make it look neat. Just like that. And if
you want to, you know, you can just go ahead and just
tap it here and there very lightly and tap it with your finger and go
ahead with this, you know, give it some texture. Okay. Other way to paint
grass is to load the brush in one complete side and to
just hold it and just, you know, flick it
flick it upwards. That's just like that. Use the corner. Use the other side rather. That helps. And if you want, you
can create like that. Now, some highlight color. I'll go over here and, you know, just drop it in. There's some more there. I don't want it
to be everywhere. I'm just gonna tap it. The tapping. Create those extra
plates of grass. I was waiting for this to dry. And let's go ahead
and, you know, just drop in the highlight
part of this midground grass. Remember, these are
midground grass, so you can just indicate
it by just rubbing. Okay. Just, you know, I'm just blending
these all together. They here, I just, you know, go ahead with some
highlight color. Together, the more you tap, the more colour is going
to come off the brush. Don't make the bottom
that well defined. I'll go ahead and
highlight this pine tree. Just like that and then just tapping it from a very
corner of the brush. That helps to create
that beautiful effect. Then just tapping
it over here too, I'll just open some
highlight to the grass. That. Now I've taken in some brown color along
with that green. Let's go ahead and
drop in a rock. It's like that. I'll show you how you can achieve that foreground
texture in a rock. Taken in some blue and black
without cleaning the brush. You know, just
drop it like that. I've gently wiped off
my brush in order to retain some of that paint, dark paint on the
brush, darker color. Just go to tap it to create
that rockiness on this rock. That cracks on the rock can be achieved very well
with a fan brush. Now, without cleaning the brush, I've loaded some white and
I've opened up the bristles, and maybe, you know,
let's come over here and tap very gently,
very, very gently. And just like that. Maybe some mossy rock. I've loaded more of white. And, you know,
let's go over here. For white, I'm using acrylics, so they'll try a bit dull and maybe over
here too just to touch. Don't want it to be like one single color.
Maybe over here too. We can smooth some
of those edges. With that, that creates that crackishness on that
rock, take the other side. That there. I've taken more of black,
opened up the bristles, I'm just going to tap it over here just to create that effect. Alright. And if you want, you can
just strap it over here to just a bit to make
it look natural. You get instant rock there. And if you want, you
can just trap it over here and blur the bottom
or the base of the rock.
5. Landscape Painting for Beginners - Fan Brush(Part - 3): Some gray color without
cleaning the brush. I'll just drop in a
slanting line like that, and I'll drop in some of this. Okay, and then it'll
flow over there. This is water. To hold this, we need a couple of rocks. Okay, like that. I drop in a couple of rocks
over here, too. Like that. Maybe another
rock over there. Another one over here, too. Fairly dark in the
corners to reflect those rocks very lightly
and very gently. Bring the rock a bit down. Just taken some white
without cleaning the brush, and then drop this
white over here. I like that. You also blend this by
just giving some tabs. I just like that. I've
loaded thick paint, thick white paint, and let's come over here and
then just drop it like that. Come over there. Gonna drop it and barely
touching the surface. Push that back. That's
going to be the source. And over here, too,
I'll just drop it in. With that white, I went
into some black and, you know, just dropping
in the reflections. Maybe there are
huge trees there. It too. It makes it
look extremely natural. I've cleaned the brush, and for the final halight, I'll just go over here, bring it down like that
and follow the direction. Maybe it's gonna get
divided over here. I don't want it
to be everywhere. Over here, it will get brighter. Yeah. I'll just drop in
that had color over here. And if you want to indicate some moss growing on the rocks next to the water, just tap it. This is foreground stuff. This element, this complete
thing is a foreground stuff. So you're free to add detailingsing there and some
here too and just tap it. When the paint is wet, make sure that the tapping is
done wherever it's required. Let's come over here and just drop in some more detailings to this with the very
corner of the brush. Just tap it. Over here to tap it with a very corner of the brush to get those fine
detailings of the foliage. That's like that. Leaving some spots, skipping
some spots will also help. It's like that. I'll go ahead and highlight
this one, too. This is a midground element. Be very careful. Just tap it, and that's about it.
Dropping this. Okay. Now, the grayish green color, I'll just show you
how you can add an instant crass
in the foreground. Just tap it and pull it. Just tap it and pull
it. You can even make use of this technique to paint in cliffs, far off cliffs. As you're doing it
down, do it upwards, and they'll stand taller. Okay? So with this, I come
to the end of this video. I hope I've added some value to your knowledge and
thanks for watching.
6. Landscape Painting for Beginners - Acrylic Grass Painting(Part - 1): Hi, I'm Yash, and today, I'll be demonstrating
how to paint crass in a crylic. So
let's get started. So now with my angle of brush, I'll just loaded in some black, only black, and I'll just go ahead and drop in the backdrop. Okay. Just to represent some
darkness, some shadows. Now it's almost dry. And I'll just take in
some lime ellow and green on my rigor brush, you know, just drop in some
of those blades of grass. To do this, make sure that
the backdrop is completely dry and I've added some water to this just
to thin it down a bit. Just like that. Okay pop out some of those grasses
from the shadow region. And so now I float it again with that same color on the
same brush and just, you know, flicking some
of those blades of grass. For this, you need to
chisel up your brush. You can even make use of
the line of brush also. But I just prefer this
one, the Riga brush. As you feel you're
going out of paint, always go back and reload. And I'm barely touching the surface to get
that sharp edge. Now to that very same color, I've added in some white. And, you know, let's drop in. No, here, too. See, let's drop in over here. That's a very big one there and, you know, and I'll take in some more of that
color, and you look at that. That shine. But
acrylics tend to dry a bit dull. I like that shine. Something like that. And
maybe some over here, too. Just covering up
those harsh edges of the backdrop that is
also very important. Coming out here, just
brighten up some of these because it will get
filtered from the other leaves. The light will get filtered
from the leaves and stuff. I'll go back to
that colour which I had taken previously
without cleaning the brush. And just flick in maybe it's
not completely dry there, but it's okay because
there is anyhow going to be the shadow part. Something like that. Hmm. So now the thing is to just, you know, break up
that arch edge. So that I'll just load in this. You know, just gonna make it look very, you know,
like popped out. Bye. Okay, and come over
here. Look at that. I'm turning the paper because that's looking very
convenient for me to do this. That's one of those
shadow things, and things will happen automatically,
something like that. But still, I'm
making sure that I leave some negative spots. And you don't have to go
with just one single color. Take some yellow
ochre and green. This time I take
a brighter color relatively drop in more pressure for
the paint to come out. So now I've taken
in more of white. I'll just, you know, drop
in some of sows you know, just randomly placing
them. Something like that. So another type of
grass is, you know, you just load the brush
your rigger brush. And, you know, you create
some fine blades of grass. I'm assuming that this
is a very dense forest. And I'm just going to make it in the opposite
direction also. I'm holding my brush
almost at 90 degree. I'm just freaking
out some of those. This is a very effective
and super efficient way to paint grasses. And another blade sort
of comes off like that. I just like that. Don't create your
grass or the blades of grass in one single
shade or color. Just have some
sort of variation. Now I'll just use some water
to thin down the paint. Look at that. Get
that instant effect. Here's something over there. And for this, I've used mostly green and
less of flamello. Now, let's see how
to paint lawn. So for that, I'll just take
in some brighter color. You could even make
use of mid tone color. You just, you know, placing in the paint or rather
blocking that. Let's assume that there
is a path over here, a rough just a rough thing. As it's going to go
back, it'll get thinner. Path will get smaller. As we're going to come forward, the brightness levels go down and it'll get
darker, slightly darker. We even make use of blue in that Jest touch of
blue also will work. But I can barely see
that path. Something
7. Landscape Painting for Beginners - Acrylic Grass Painting(Part - 2): Loaded my number two fan brush, the same brush which I used to paint the backdrop or
the blocking in part. And make sure that you tap on the palette to see if there is any texture
of grass that you see. And look at that,
you can just go ahead and tap it very lightly. This is a lawn. It's lawn it's nothing but very short grass. Us something like that over
there and some over here, too. Just like that. I'll be slightly
darker and denser. As you go towards the top, it'll reduce the pressure. But instantly, we have a
lawn. That just like that. So now I'm just blocking
in some darker color, whatever was left out on
my number two fan brush. And let's come over here. I've taken in more of
white that same color. I just some white,
and look at that. I'm holding the brush
in a certain angle that not all the bristles of the brush are getting
touched something like that. Here two Maybe another one. Okay. These are just placements. Okay? And to make it creative, I'll just take in this
with that green colour. These are tall grass. Turn the brush and get some
of those blurred effects. And let's continue with that. Just barely touching
the surface. These almost look like plants. Here and there, not much. This one's the main
focus in this part. Just a single and
then don't follow any sort of patterns,
something like that. Then just touch over
here and there. You can be super
loose with those. This is also another type of grass which you can paint and make your painting
look very creative. And this is a foreground grass. Now another type is to just, I'll just plot in I'll
just plock in this color. No, I've just taken in
some lime yellow and, you know, just some white. Let's blog these colors together
and blend them together. And I'll take in some black to make it look denser and deeper. Blocking this in. No,
I'll take up this color and I'll just try
to bring these out. They're a bit thicker. I
need to thin them down. And for that, I'll
use some water. T has to work. Let me
try the other way. Yeah, look at that.
Yeah, that works. Something that go from the
inside to the outward. The place which you touch
first will be blunt. And the place and the
place where you lift up your brush will be
the sharper edge. Look at that it's blunt
here and it is sharp there. And don't want to
add too much of water that it gets too runny. And you can just freak up some
of those blades of grass. I plan to bring that tap
color from here till there so that everything
fits together. Don't just look like a
semicircle, not like that. That's something like
that. Okay. I'll drop in that color over here, too. Flick up one or two just to distinguish them from the
other part of the grass. That's just like that. Hmm. So now I'll just go here and bring this
outwards to gravity, they'll grow downwards
after a certain point. Something over there
and maybe some or two. And don't follow any
patterns, just like that. Now I've taken up my number
two fabsh I'll just go ahead over here and
just sort of give some texture to these. That. I'll take some of that color, and this is another
type of grass, just showing you within
this one. Just tapping it. Just sort of tapping it. Something over there
and some over here too. I that I like that texture.
Something like that. Now, I'll take up some white and green without cleaning
the brass and just, you know, sort of creating those individual players
of grass inside that one. Okay, something like
that over there, and here or two. Lo just like that. So now with some black,
I'll just go ahead and create some separations. You know, this is how
going to be everywhere. Just over here and there
between the blaze of grasses You can even make
use of the lineup brush. But since this brush is bigger
and can hold more paint, I'll just used this one. That is just a
personal preference, but in some cases, you have
to use the lineup brush. Well here two Okay,
something like that. I'll switch over to my
number two fan brush. And you just creating some sort of texture
in the shadow areas. Okay, something like
that skip some spots. And at the bottom, it
will get very dark. Alamo pressure, you feel that the paint is
less on your brush. We'll just go ahead
with this and just sort of tap in some
highlight over here. You can play with
this all day long. But just sort of
bring it that there.
8. Landscape Painting for Beginners - Acrylic Grass Painting(Part - 3): Now let's go ahead and paint
in another type of grass. So that I've just loaded
in some green and white. Without cleaning the brush, I've not cleaned my
brush since I started this tutorial.
Something with that. Okay, so I'll just go
ahead and drop in. That's a bit to take. But I get that fine
blades of grass. That just like that. We'll just indicate some. Okay, something over there
and some over here, too. I'm barely touching the surface. By doing that, you
know, I get that, you know, thin line, very fine blades of grass. Hmm. In this type of grass, the tip of the grass
will be brighter. For that, I'll just, you know, you get something over
there. So over there, too. Okay, that's the difference. The tip of the
grass of the tip of each plade of grass
will be brighter. That. Some over here, too,
making it look very grouped. Something like that. In the meanwhile, I'll
just come back over here and drop in some
brightness to this. Something over there. I've just taken some
lime yellow and white. Okay something over there. Let this be fairly bright
at this part and just go to tap it. Yeah. And another type of grass is
to just place in the paint, and as you're going to come
down, it'll get darker. This is a used brush. In the sense I used this
before that is why it's kind of producing that darker
color there at the bottom. And you can leave
it just like that. If this is foreground, just apply the texture which
I applied there over here. And I'll just make the
top bit brighter for that I'll go outside
because if I paint on that painted thing, it will just get blended. Something like that. Look
at that? That's a path. So with this, I come to
the end of this tutorial. I hope you've enjoyed it,
and thanks for watching.
