mountain scene and thought, I wish I could paint that.
You're in the right place. In this class, we'll
bring nature to life from misty mountains
to lakes and lush, textured forest step by step. You don't need any fancy
tools or prior experience. I'll guide you through every brushstroke,
every highlight, and every detail that turns a black canvas into
something magical. Whether you're a
beginner or someone looking to sharpen your
landscape painting skills, this class will help you paint
with confidence and joy. So grab your brushes and let's dive into
the world of color, texture, and tranquility.
Let's get started.
2. Landscape Painting for Beginners: Sky Painting: Hi, and welcome back
to our new video. In this video, let's go ahead
and see how to paint a sky. So for that, I have blue, cobalt blue, white and red. Today, I'm painting
in watercolors. So to paint the sky,
simple little sky. T in some white, and I'm using
the number six fan brush. It looks like this. Okay?
I'll take in some white. No into that blob of paint, take some white off there. And there's some blue,
simple, white and some blue. So we're looking for
a very vibrant sky. Set the palette aside. And let's come right up here. And this is a canvas, so I'm not going to
add much water to this because it's a different
case on paper. Paper will absorb all the
water content in the paint, whereas canvas doesn't do that. So let's go and paint
this without water. And it's spreading evenly,
as you can see here, I've not put water, not
at all added water. So yeah. So we let this to dry. And after that, we go and put some
beautiful little clouds. Okay, so now this is almost dry. And let's take in some white
from this blob of paint, just a touch of red to give that beautiful little
effect, mostly white. Okay? Let's take that colour
on the same old fan brush. Let's come right up in
here and sort of dig in some clouds beautiful
little shiny clouds. And this is just a
painting of the clouds. Okay, so that we get some
reference for the future. Do not paint when it's tacky? Because there might be chance of some of the paint to
come off off the canvas. De something like that, and
something over here, too. Look at that, it's that easy. Hair sort of placing
him here and there. Now, I've taken
very thick paint, only white this time, let's
sort of tap it in there. Later on, you can go
out and blend that, depending on the scenario or the context of the
landscape painting. Sort of blended. Yeah. These are hidden clouds, misty and nice. Okay. So we have that. In the next video,
let's go and see how to paint a mountain. Thank you.
3. Landscape Painting for Beginners: Mountains Painting: Hi, and we'll come
back to a new video in this video let's code and
see how to paint mountains. So for that, I've taken the same palette and
a different brush. This is angular brush, so it is cut at a certain angle. Let's take some
black. I'm looking for grayish blue color. Okay? And some blue. Yeah, that's what I was
looking for, and some black. Cool. That's the color
I was looking for, and very little white, just to make it look soft. Okay. Let's come right in here and get the peak
of that mountain, the snowy mountains over here. Yeah, something more like that. And something soft
right over here, too. Cool. Yeah, that's nice. You can shape your mountains,
the snowy mountains, the rocky mountains
according to your liking, and it's totally left up to you. But to get a basic
shape of a mountain, this is the normal procedure. Okay. Let's go and take
in some more paint. I've not added water yet. Okay? So there'll be some
hums and bumps the mountain. It's not going to
be straight. If you seen any landscapes,
they won't be straight. It would be like, very
sharp, very rough. They won't be soft. Of course, it doesn't matter how far they, they won't be that soft. Okay. So here we have the mountain. So let's go and add
in some highlights. For that, you have to
wait for it to dry. Okay, so now we've
taken the fan brush, the number six fan brush, and it's taken some white with a tinge of red in
it to get some flavor. Okay, and take that big pins
paint on the fan brush. Let's come over here and decide where the
light is coming from. It's coming from
the right today. We it's going to
add in some white. Mm. Very simple. Just
go add some white. If you're doing snoils you can
definitely go ahead and do this in with a palette knife. You can definitely do that
with a palette knife. You just sort of
comes in the color. Maybe another one comes here. Just sort of playing around
with shadows and stuff. The key to this is you should be completely dry.
That's the trick. Okay, I'm liking it. I hope you guys are
liking it, too. If so, please go and drop
out there your reviews, your comments, your feedback. That'll be a great help too, no, and there'll be a lot
of scope for improvement. Okay, and something
over here, too. Okay, that is going to
be in the shadowy part and something over
here too just a bit. We might go ahead and give
this another at of halide. Okay. Now, I've taken some white, just some white on this fan
brush, the same fan brush. Sort of come right up there
and drop in some highlights. Okay. So we're going to go ahead and place in
the shadows as well. That's the trick.
Okay. This highlight is not going to be
everywhere here and there. Just to keep keep things simple. Okay? That's good. And you can limit the amount of highlight to get
in more contrast and more your
painting will pop up. So that's the reason.
You can add in you did not add in any
unnecessary highlights. Okay. So we have that,
and I'm liking it. So in the meanwhile I'll go
in some blue, blue and white. Beautiful little
combination for shadow, especially for snowy mountains. More blue, okay, to
make it look cooler. If you want to add in touch of red and make it a bit purplish, that's okay. That will
be good, as well. And try to here. Let's follow a shadow.
It's for the angles. Yeah. That is the way it goes and let the
shadows be a bit soft, not as textured as this
highlight of the mountain. Yeah, I like it. And something we took and we need
some more paint. Look at that. It's that easy. And sort of come here. I want to fill this
in just a bit. And something over
here too. You can create your own
mountains like this. Creating some shadows and
some depth. Look at that. I make sure you blend a bit, blend the highlight and
the shadow that is blue, in this case. Okay. So we have all that. And I man just take in
some thick paint of white. So I come over here
and place it in. Yeah, now this looks
neat and cool. So in the next video,
we'll go and see how to paint background
elements. Thank you.
4. Landscape Painting for Beginners: Background Elements Painting: Hi, and welcome back
to a new video. In this video, let's go out and paint
background elements. So for that, I've taken
that same old color, and I've just added
some white. That's it. Okay, so you need
that to be wet. That's looking like a river,
but I'll just show you. Let's go in some black, blue, red on those dark colors
and add in a lot of white. And of course, we have
some light paint there. So take it like that and decide where this tiny little mountain
lives in your landscape. We something like that. Yeah,
cool. Something like that. And it's gonna be pretty soft,
as you would be knowing. Now we'll increase
the contrast a bit add more darker colours. Take it like that. I'm using
the same old fun brush. Let's come over here
and create a contrast. Just a bit of that
contrast is required here. Blur them if possible. Okay? This is we're going
to add in some depth. Now, I've added in black to
increase the contrast and to bring things even further
towards the foreground. Okay. Now let's think of
some tree action here. Sort of tapping it. Very
gently, very lightly. Okay, let's go and give
the base for this tree. Yeah. That's more like it. And one or two trees pop
out even in this mist. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. That's looking
pretty cool for me. So next video, we'll
go and see how to paint reflections.
Okay? Thank you.
5. Landscape Painting for Beginners: Reflections Painting: Hi, and we'll come
back to a new video. In this video, let's go and
see how to paint reflections. So pretty much the same color. Same brush, same
amount of paint. Okay? Just take that
and look at that. Turn the brush so that
it points downwards and go to the tip of this
place and just hold it, hold it very loose, pull it. Just pull it. Simple.
So the texture of the canvas will take
care of all of that. Okay, something like that, maybe it's gonna be much taller here. I'm just straightening my brush. See what works for you. Yeah, it's looking nice. We need to add in
some water line. So let's do it with
a liner brush. So now I've taken
the line of brush, and let's go to some white. Straight into some white. Don't want to have
too much of water. I've not added water yet. Okay. And let's
decide the horizon. It's gonna be somewhere
over there, and they need not be continuous. Like, for example,
this is one stroke. Leave it there. Leave it there. Let some of them be thick. Some of them be
very thin, some of them with a different
shade of shadow. Yeah, just like that. Just
like I just you know, giving it some depth. Yeah, that looks cool. And we need some
blue over here, too. So for that, we need some
white and blue. Simple. So now, I'll take in some
white and some blue. Okay. Not too much. Don't need too much.
Let's come over here. You sort of drop in the
beautiful little reflections in the form of water. Look at that? Just like that. Sort of go with a
very light color. And you'll definitely
see some value. Okay, something like
that. It's mixing with this and turning
red. That's okay. We're painting a landscape so they don't have to be perfect. See, look at that. That's
gonna blur the edges. God. Yeah. I like it. Look at that. It looks so realistic
and so beautiful. Okay, so come there and plenty. All. Yeah. This is almost
like a wet on wet technique, which is used in all paints. So, I like it. And in the next
video, we'll go and see how to paint trees, different varieties of
trees in this landscape.
6. Landscape Painting for Beginners: Trees Painting Part -1: Hi, and welcome back
to a new video. In this wedding, we'll
go ahead and see how to paint trees. Okay? So for that, I've taken in
some black. Nothing much. Only black, of course, the
paint whatever there is underneath will get mixed with this, and
that's what I want. Give some white,
chisel the brush, child, wiggle brush so that a lot of paint
sticks to the brush. And it's come right. Here, surf it's gonna be as a placeholder
for the pine trees. Yeah. That's the way I want. And you can pretty much
translate this technique into any of your landscape
paintings, okay? So we have three pine
trees over there, yeah. So let's go and paint the
leaves or the foliage. And I'm not gonna make us if any of the brush, same brush, that same fan brush. And I want them to
be pretty Okay. There sort of tapping
it just in angles, making it look more realistic, if not perfectly realistic. Look at that? Sort of tapping
it. This one's a bit thick. Okay. Let's stick
in some more paint. And with the same technique,
we'll go ahead and, this will be
completely dark. Okay. And let's paint this one.
Okay, that's enough. Yeah, that's enough. Yeah. And for this one, this is going to be the tallest, which is there in
the middle. Yeah. There we go. We have pine trees. And let's now go ahead with other elements as well.
Foreground elements. So we'll have some dark
color over here, too. Yeah, it's gonna come
all the way like die. I've not added water yet. Let's get this all over here. Take off the xs paint
and replace it here. I need something
to balance that. Yeah, and let's
cover this one, too. So the blocking in part
is over from our side.
7. Landscape Painting for Beginners: Trees Painting Part -2: No. I've taken semulanbsh
and I've changed my palette, so I have some limello or
lemonlo locre and green. Okay. This is
lemonloelocre, and green. And let's dig in some
lemonlo and some green. Simple. Okay, I don't
I'm not looking for a very popping out color. You see medium. Midtown colour. Why? Because we have to
paint these pine trees. It's sort of coming
right in here. Listen song. Beautiful, little beautiful little strokes.
Just gonna tap it. Yeah. So this will get some highlight because the light is coming
from the right side. Okay. So as now it looks
like this, and it's good. Stupid over here and there. Stupid. And make sure that there is
some gap between the trees. Even when you're
painting the highlights. Yeah. So we have pine trees. And now, I'll take in some limel and this is
a modified flat brush. It was a flat brush initially, and I converted that into
a modified flat brush. Simple. Okay. And let's take in
some vibrant colors like lemon and green. Let's come in here. Oh, that's not going
to stack. That's okay. We can print out a
bot in here. Yeah. There we go with
that. There we go. Try to mix the colors, different sheads h Take in a lot of set paint,
and it'll work. It'll definitely
work. Look at that? The nature. And tap it very lightly
and very gently. Okay, let's come over
here, too and just sort of place in some more
of those colors. Yeah. And something over here, you can create your own
stunning landscapes by practicing good practice. Okay. And the trick over here is
to take very thick paint. And something over here. This is going to be even
more interesting. Look at? Sort of you
get that by Yeah. And now I d some ocho for some change for a change
in shade and flavor. That's sort of place
I try to go there. Not much, but just a bit. Of course, you can add in some white to add an
accent highlight. Look at that, that
easy. Just tapping it. Simple. But when we gave
the blocking in for these trees and bushes,
it was a bit rough. We were too fast because nothing specific is going to happen there when you're
going to block in. But in detailing, you're
giving the specification that shape the color, the contrast, the perspective all that, you have to be a bit cautious whenever you're painting this type of landscape. Maybe the paint is still
dry there, and that's okay. Okay, look at that. So the
painting looks like this. Let's go and add in
some accent highlights.
8. Landscape Painting for Beginners: Trees Painting Part -3: I don't know, the final
accent highlight. Let's come over here and define
each bush with its color. Usually, we take white. Place to build that color. That's not right, so let's
leave it for the time being. Yeah. You can even use this to paint foliage as
well on trees, on bushes. And's some yellow and mellow and some white
in equal parts. Yes. Yeah, that is
what I wanted to have some separations in the form of light in the form of shed
in the form of color. Yeah, I like it. Look at that. That's gonna
make your painting pop. This is a step where a
paintings gonna look pop. Yeah. And something over here, too. Just a bit. Have a lot of variations, all sort of ups and downs in
your landscape paintings. And that'll help you to get a realistic and wonderful
landscape painting for you. Yeah. So now, look at this. This looks very much
separated from each other. You might just go and add in
some highlight to the tree. So for that, I'll
take in Not in white. Let's just tick in some roca
and limelo and some green. Could I just sort of tapping
it a bit hard, not too soft. Yeah, it's a bit hard,
and there we go. Works. Table.
