1. Intro: It is one of those places where nature gets to paint its own
verse on its own canvas. Words can never do
justice to the beauty of this lake called as Pongg
Lake situated in Ladak India. I couldn't resist
painting this beauty. I thought of sharing
with you guys as well. This is the painting
which we will be doing. Hello, friends. My name is Mohen Sina, and I'm an crelic
artist Based India. I mostly do landscape painting and animals and bird
portrait painting. Many of you know me as Moheni Art Gallery from
my Instagram account. First, we'll discuss
about the materials, which will be required
for the painting. Then we'll discuss
about the colors. Then comes the blocking
of the background, then cloud making, cloud detailing everything
from scratch. Then comes the
beautiful mountain detailing everything in detail, step by step, then
the lake painting. Then comes the flag painting. So let's start with this
beautiful painting.
2. Materials Needed: Let's discuss about
the material. These are all the brands, which I mostly use inser
Newton, amln and liquidx. All these brands
I mostly use and the masking tape also
we need for this. So let's discuss about the colors which we will be needing. First, the black color, blue color for the sky, titanium white, for the clouds, the cobalt teal,
for the water part. Then comes the Rosanna. For the mountains, then
fluorescent red for these flags, permanent green again for flax, cadmium yellow, and then cadmium orange
for the mountains. All these colors which we'll be needing for the paintings. You can use any brand of
colors, whichever you have. Now let's talk
about the brushes. These are the brushes. One
is the smaller size brush, bigger size brush,
then the round brush, This is the round brush
which I'm using here, then the rigger
brush for detailing Bristol flat brush for
giving the textures. Again, this felt brush for the clouds and this
fan brush again, Bristol for all the detailings. Apart from that, we will
be needing palette, then water container,
washing your brushes, then tissue paper and
pencil for drawing.
3. Blocking: Hello, all and welcome
to our new class. This is my canvas, which I've already
primed with Gesso, two, three times, and this is eight
by eight inch size canvas. Let's first do some
little drawing and then we'll start
with the painting. This is three is two
one wheel divide. One part we'll just
create a straight line, and then we'll create
the mountains. Little bit below from the
center, we'll draw the line. Okay. I'm doing
very light sketch. So when you are also drawing, try to do a very light sketch
of it so that the dust of the pencil marks does not mix with the
colors because when it mixes with the colors,
it becomes Grace. Or we'll draw the mountains, some bigger and some
small mountain mix. This is actually
a place in India, called as a Dak, which
I'm drawing over here. It's a very beautiful place, and this is full of mountains
and rivers and lakes. That's what I'm
painting over here. First, I'm just
drawing the mountains, some high rise mountains,
some backside mountains. Just above there are mountains, then the clouds and then
there is a lake side, which has a pathway over there. So a little bit of
sketching, not much, the clouds I'm not drawing because when we'll
do the blocking, it will be removed, so there's no need of drawing the clouds because
we'll paint this with blue, and when we'll do the blocking, this whole diagram will vanish. That's why I'm not
drawing the clouds. First, I will paint
it with blue and then we'll do the drawing. Simple sketch. It
is of square size. You can take
rectangle size also. It depends upon your choice, you can do it on paper,
you can do it on anything. These are two colors
which I'm using nzorblue and titanium white. Both are from Benzer and Newton. Brand. I'll just do the
first blocking part, that is the background
blocking of the sky first, and here is my flat brush. Before using the color, just try to dip the brush in water and
then use the color. I'm just taking the colors mixing a little bit of white
to make it a little more opaque the color because
white is quite opaque color. I'm just trying to mix
it is a dark color, but I'm just adding a
bit of white to it. If you don't have nzor blue, you can use cerliu blue also. I cerliu blue, just add a little bit of prussian
blue to make this color, and it will be fine. I'm just blocking it
with my flat brush. The size of the
brush depends upon the size of your
canvas or the paper, whichever you are using. If your size of the
canvas is too big, then use one or
two inch brushes. If it is small,
depending upon the size, here I'm using
eight number brush. It all depends upon the
size of your paper or canvas which you are using
the size of the brush. Just doing the first layer of blocking in simple
horizontal manner. First blocking will not
give that smooth finish. We'll do at least one
or two more blocking so that it gives a nice
finish to the background. I currently now blocking
the colors on the canvas. Take your own time
and do it slowly and enjoy the process of
this colorful painting, and the end result will
be very beautiful, if you'll follow each and
every process of mine. Just I'm slowly blocking the whole background
with the same color. I haven't changed the
color from dark to light. It's almost same color, which I have used over here. It's dark because it will give a nice contrast between
dark and light color. Below is the lighter mountains. So that's why I've
created darker clouds darker sky color and then
we'll draw the clouds also. Try to cover each
and every portion of the canvas so that
nothing is left. You can also do at the
sides of the canvas also because mine is
the stretched canvas. So if you want, you can do it on the sides of the
canvas as well. Now I've added a few
more colors that is cobaltlethn rosena and red. These are the colors which
I will be using here. First, let's block
in the mountains. I'm here using my flat brush, but it is of smaller size so that I can cover
the mountains. I'm just mixing
this raciena with this white mix because these
are lighter shade mountains. Just applying from the top. I can still see that this
blue part is still wet. I'll stop doing that area because it will mix
with blue and it will turn into completely
different color, which I don't want it to be. I will stop doing first
the mountains and then we'll start with the below
part because it is still wet, it's not dry because if it'll
go into that blue part, it will turn into
greenish color. Now let's do this lake
part, which is there. Now cobalt teal,
which I'm using here is and I'll just
apply to this part, which is the water part, and I'll just mix a little bit white to make it a
little lighter color. Just blocking this whole part. It's a very beautiful
color which comes up. If you don't have these colors, you can always make this color
by mixing blue and green. When you mix a cerium
blue or brilliant blue with a little bit of green, this color will come up. This is the way blue part should be more and green
part should be less. Now here this is a little
bit grayish so that I'm adding little black to it to make it a
little grayish color. You can see the
different forms of color you can make with
just one simple color. Here it is a little bit
grayish and the upper part is a little bit more
of a cobalt color. Color mixing is also very
important thing when it comes to acrylic because if
you know color mixing, you can do any painting. You should know
which color to use where when you are looking
at a scenery or something. It comes with practice, and if you'll practice it, you will do more of
R&D then of course, you'll get it, what
colors to use when. I'm just blocking the part, which is the lake part. This is the first blocking, which I'm doing here. And after that, we'll
do the next blocking of the mountains and
then of the area, the pathway, which is there. Okay. Do it slowly, take your own time and
do the entire painting. Because everything takes time. If you'll do it in a hurry, it will not give that
result which you want. Now let's do this part, which is the side
part of the lake. I'm just making it
a little grayish color and I'll just
block in this part. Just blocking that
pathway, which is there. A. Whichever brush is comfortable for you here
I'm doing flat brush. You can take round brush also to block in this
because we don't want smooth finish off this pathway because there
will be texture, so it's fine if
it is not smooth. You can use any brush, whichever you feel like, whiever you are
comfortable with. Finally, our lower
blocking is done, then we'll do with
the mountains. Oh.
4. Blocking Of Mountains: So now let's do this mountains. Now here, I'm using my round brush and I'm just taking white because
it has been finished, and then we'll start painting. Just white, this Rociana a little bit of
very little amount of black you have to add. It is a little lighter color, so more white should be there. Let's start with
first the blocking. I'll just take a little
orange inside it. Just adding a bit of orange. This is cadmium orange, which I'm using here. Just blocking it
with lighter color, then light it is between it is more and then light it is
a version of like that. But first time just
blocking it with one color. In order to make it dark, you have to add more of orange
and more of this raciana. This is a color which is
more like muted type. You can say it is like a
tan color just coming up. Simply I'm just using my
round brush and I'm just giving a nice blend
to the colors. Again, I'm just taking this rosena and a little
bit of orange white mix. It will give more like an
earthy texture to it and a little bit of black to
give a more darker shade. Above it is a little lighter than darker than
more lighter shade. This is the thing
which we'll be doing. Just blocking first
the mountains, and then we'll do
the detailings. Little lighter shade, I'm
just adding white to it. On my brush, there
are lots of colors, so I'm just taking white and I'm just blocking the
rest of the area, which is below because
the below area is a little lighter in shade. So here why I'm using the round brushes because
with round brush, you can easily blend the colors when you have to move
it like in a flow. It's not like straight painting. It's like directions, like
a slanting movement of the brushes there so
that it gives an effect of the mountains like the
mountains are very slanting. I'm trying to give
that effect also. That's why I've used
here the round brush. Now, this area is quite
lighter in color. So my color is still wet, so I'm just applying wide to
it to make it more light. And this white will mix
to this brown color and it will create some lighter
effect of that color. Just need to keep in
mind that whenever we are blending two colors, both the color has to be wet. Otherwise, it will not blend. If you're blending
any two colors and it is not coming up
perfectly, then again, apply that color and try to
blend it because blending will not happen if one of
the color has dried up. Now I'll do the other
mountains as well. So I'm just adding a little
bit of black and then I'm just putting it because the
upper area is quite dark, which is the sider
part of the area. Actually, it is quite
bluish in shade. I will just add a little bit of black and a little blue also to it to make it a
more darker shade. I'm just covering
the upper part. This is the time when we
can just give a shape to the mountains and whatever
shape you want to give here, you can just give it because currently we are just
doing the blocking part. The detailing is
still left for it. I'm just trying to give a
little darker shade on the top. You can see I've just added a little dark shade on the top, and there is more darker
shade on the corners as well, which we'll apply it later. Let's first do the
other mountains. Now these mountains are a little lighter in
shade, the middle one, and the side one is it is
more brownish in color. Just applying the color
with the same round brush. Do it very carefully
so that the color does not go inside that river part, river or lake, whatever
you want to say it. It's actually a lake
which is in a Dak, which is there and it's
quite like this color. If you have visited it there, then you must have
seen this type of view which is there in that place. I've just covered this part with the nice shade of colors. This is just one color
which I have added. I haven't applied different
shades of the colors. Blocking it, and then
we'll do the middle part. The middle part is more whitish. That means it is more
lighter in color. I'm adding more white
and just applying first especially the lower
part is more lighter in color. First, I'm trying to
give it a little shape to the mountains by adding
different colors to it, by adding more white
somewhere black, more. Different shades I'm creating.
I'm trying to create. This is a quite light color, and I'm adding more white to it. Down part is light and
the above part is. This is a contrast which is there in between
these two mountains. This is quite light color. Light, how you can prepare just by adding more of white to it. And the darker one, if
you'll add more of black, then it will be a darker color. Like that, we have to
distinguish between the colors. Lighter color means more white, and if we want darker color, that means we have to
add more of black to it. Simply just blocking in first the lighter part
and then we'll do the above the darker one. First, I'm just outlining
with the darker color. And then I will block in above mountain and also I'll give the shape to
it while painting. Just applying on top of it, Similarly, the other
mountains also, I will do with the
same technique. P blocking I'm doing over here above is dark and
the below is light. This is it, which I'm
trying to do over here. This is little grayish, I'm just adding a
little black to it to make it a little
dark, the behind one. Finally, the blocking
is complete and then we'll do the second blocking
and then the mountains, then the sky, the blots left.
5. Shaping the Clouds: Welcome back. Now my colors has almost dried up completely. You can touch your
hand and can feel. Now let's do one more blocking with same color that is winds blue and white so that it gives a nice smooth finish
to the background. I'm just adding one more
layer of the same color. Whenever you have to do
a finished painting, you should always try
to do at least two of the background so that gives a nice smooth finish
to the painting. Use thick colors so that the
colors don't dry too fast. Okay. And I'm just applying the same same layer of
color and you will see how smooth this second coat will come up when
you'll apply it. Always try to apply two coats of it when you are doing
such type of painting, especially on the canvas. This is the final coat
which I'm applying, so I'll apply it very
carefully so that it doesn't go inside
the mountain part, and then we'll start
creating the clouds. Finally, almost the
blocking is done, just a few more corners are left and we are
good to go with the second layer of
blocking of the sky. You can see I have almost
done the blocking part. Just a few corners are left, which I'll try to
block in nicely. There are no corners left. Do it slowly and take your time. And the second blocking is done. Now what I will do is I'll wait for it to dry
before I start drawing the clouds because we cannot paint it on
the wet canvas. I'll wait for it to dry. Once it has dried up, then we'll start
doing the cloud part. I'm just fixing all the
corners before starting with the clouds so that there are
no corners left anywhere. You can see how nicely the
background has come up. Now we'll wait for it to
dry and then we'll start with the cloud part. We'll wait. Now my clouds are ready
to be drawn over here. It's completely dry now, and now we can start
with the drawing part. First, for the drawing, I'll use my liner
brush to draw it, and then we'll fill
in the colors. I'll first draw I'll
take my rigger brush, and I'll just draw the clouds. So you can draw it with pencil, but I prefer it drawing
with the same color, which I will be using later. So because white you can easily remove by applying
the same base color. So I'm just using
this white color for drawing the the
shape of the clouds. First, I will draw the shapes
and then I will block in these clouds with the
lighter blue color. Just creating the
shapes, random shapes, actually this sky is filled with beautiful
clouds and you will see magical clouds
above these mountains. I'm just trying to
give a shape to it and then we'll start with
the blocking of clouds. Just with a nice thin color, you can just outline
this whole thing. Even if there's a mistake
in cloud formation, it's fine because clouds
are of different shapes. It doesn't matter if
the shape changes, but yes, a little bit of
shape changing is fine. You can see I've just drawn
the clouds here and there. It's filled with clouds. Now we'll do the
blocking of the clouds, which is of lighter
color of blue. It will be more of
white and less of blue. Here I will be using my
filbert brush of size two. This is a very good brush
for creating the clouds. You can see there's a
roundness on the top of this. It gives a nice round
texture to the clouds. But before that, I'll
just add a little bit of blue and white mix and I'll
start blocking it first. Just with moving the brush
in a circular motion, I'm just filling
the entire shape, and I'm also covering that line which I
have drawn because I don't want to show the lines which I have
drawn for the cloud. So I'm just covering it
with the same color. Just simple blocking, and
this is the time when you can just create shapes also, different shapes you want, different changes
in shapes you want, you can add just over here by
just filling this color up. I'm just filling the color and giving a more
detailed shape to it. Here more white is there and very little amount
of blue is there. This is the first layer of color which I'm
adding to the clouds, then we'll create the
details of the clouds. Very simple process,
very simple technique, blocking it up slowly. Just enjoy the
process of blocking. Whenever your brush
becomes a little sticky, just wash off your brush and
then again add the colors. Sometimes it happens
that the brushes become sticky when you do it
for a longer period of time. Just wash off your
brush and do it again. This is whole blocking of the
clouds which we have done, and now we will be doing
the cloud detailing. This will also dry up and then we'll start with the
cloud detailing. M.
6. Clouds Detailing: Now, let's start with
the clouds detailing. Here we'll only use white and this filbert brush for
the cloud detailings. Try to use smaller
size filber brush, either size one or size two. This is size two which
I'm using over here. I'm just taking a little
bit of this color. I've just wet my brush, remove xs of water, and I'm just directly
using this white color. Take very little
amount of color. Then just wipe it off with
your brush with your cloth and then try to smudge that color
without touching that edge. The edge should be in the shape. And should not be removed. Then again, take small amount of color and then again
give a shape of a semicircle or something like a quantor without
disturbing the shape, remove excess of color and just smudge the entire
color, which is below. This is how the process is, which we'll be doing the more
quantors you will create, the more beautiful
these clouds will look. You can see I'm just creating small quantors and I'm just smudging it in
a circular motion. This will give a
very realistic look to the clouds actually.
Just smudge it. First give the shape
accordingly and then remove excess of color on
your brush and then again, smudge the colors. This is how the whole
process will go. Small small small shapes that
is half circular shapes. I'm creating some
big, some are small, and I'm just smudging the
extra color which is below so that you can see that there are few onters in between also. When you smudge it, you
can see the glazing effect that is the bluish effect
is also coming from below. It is not getting
covered entirely, and the edge is also
there properly. This is how we create
clouds like fluffy clouds. It's a little tricky process, but it needs practice. So I have tried my best to show you how you can create
a particular cloud, but I hope you will get it. And if you want some
extra special video for this for special
class for this, this, then do let me know. I will try to create
a special class for just the cloud effect. Slowly, slowly, you have to
progress, take your time. In this process,
the brush becomes sticky because we have
to use a dry brush, dry brush in this sense. I have dipped the
brush in water, remove excess of water by
wiping it with the cloth, and then I'm using the brush. So there's no water on my brush. Is my brush is wet, but it is not completely wet. This is how you have
to use your brush. Now I'm starting the
other cloud which is just giving a little
shape to this cloud. Again, I'm smudging it. This is take very
small amount of color just on the
edge of your brush. Don't take too much color. Otherwise, this cloud
formation will not take place. Take very small amount of color, create small contras and first
try to give the shape and then remove exes of color and then start blending it
Blending or smudging it. The right quantity of
color is very important, especially in the
case of clouds. You have to take
very less amount of color on your brush without and remove s of color
and then smudge and don't disturb the edge of the
shape which you have given. Otherwise, that shape
will not come up. Just giving a little
shape to this and then removing xes of white and just smudging it,
the lower portion. This is how we create beautiful clouds and
we'll do for all of them. Take your own time
and do it slowly. I've just make it zoomed
in a little so that you can see it clearly how
these shapes are being formed. You can see I'm just
creating shapes and then smudging the lower
portion of white. I'm not taking extra colors. Take a very small
amount of color, remove excess of white, wiping out your brushes
and just smudge it below. So this is how we have to do. In different directions,
you can create the Qantas. You can see have create one
in light, left, top, back. It's different directions and
different sizes of quants, you have to create, don't
create just one pattern. Otherwise, it will look
like one pattern cloud. Create different some are big, some are small, some are tall. Different sizes of
quants you have to create to make this
cloud formation. I know it's not easy, but it's nothing is possible
if you dry and practice it. Everything is possible,
if you'll practice it. Just taking again, white
color and just blocking the above small clouds moving
in the circle of motion, take very less amount of color. Brush should be dry
in the sense that you have to wipe the entire
water from your brush, and then you have
to use your brush. This is the dry technique which I'm telling to use over here. Very little cloud, you have
to do it like that only. This part of cloud I
have already done, my brush has become sticky, I'll just wash it
off completely, remove exes of water, and then again, I will
use the same brush. So this is a very good brush, and if you don't have to bruh, you can use it with
the round brush also. First, you have to
create the shape with the round brush and
then you can smudge it. But with this brush, it is
quite easy to create the shape because it is already in the
half circular shape above. So it's quite easy to create
the shapes of the clouds. So it's better to use
this type of brush rather than the round brush for
creating especially the clouds. If you're still struggling with the cloud formations,
do let me know, I'll create a separate
class for this so that you can fully understand how we can create some beautiful
clouds of different patterns. This is one of them. This is the fluffy clouds
which I'm creating. There are different types
of clouds which are there, which you can create
a realistic cloud. I really enjoy drawing
clouds very much. I love drawing clouds, especially painting
these fluffy clouds, I really enjoy a lot. Okay. So I hope you guys will also enjoy
once you are into it. You can see how fluffy these
clouds look when you add so many layers of
quantos to this, and it gives a really
shape to this like clouds. It takes time, but
it is worth time giving because you
cannot do it in one go. It takes time to create clouds. If it's not coming in one go, it's perfectly fine because it needs practice when you are especially doing
the cloud parts. So a few more clouds are there, and we almost done with it. I think one more
cloud is left and we'll be done with
the cloud part. You can see how small shapes I'm creating so that it
gives a nice shape to it and very less
amount of color I'm adding over here so that the bluish color
is also visible. Now, just the upper part
of the cloud is left. This, I will turn it around and then I will do
it because it's a little difficult to
do it in a upper part. I'll just turn it around. I'll first apply the colors
that is white color, and I'll turn it around and then I'll give
a little shape to that cloud as well because
that shape is not coming. So I'll just turn
it around and then I'll start giving the
shape to the upper clouds. You can also cover the sides
of your canvas if it is a stretched canvas and can cover the sides with
these clouds as well, or you can just leave it like that and paint the
sides with black. I'm just giving the shape, removing little shape to the upper section of clouds
and just blending the colors, and this is it, a little bit more
lighter clouds here and there. And this is it?
7. Mountain Detailing Part 1: So now let's start
with the mountains. First, I'll just do the outline. These are the colors, black, white, Rosiana orange and blue. These are the colors
which I have taken. I'll just first do the
outlining with my rigger brush, and with my black color. I'll first outline it
so that I can give a little shape to
these mountains and then I'll start
with the detailing. I just wet my brush, made a little
fluid, this plaque. Because whenever we
are drawing any lines, try to make the
color little fluid. Otherwise, you will end
up creating thick lines. Make a color little fluid, especially when you're
doing the outlining part and then do the outlining. And try to do it with
your rigger brush, either size two by
zero or three by zero. Just outlining very thin
outlines, it should be there. Make the color flowid and then
start with the outlining. Very thin outline as much thin as possible,
you can draw it. Just try to draw thin lines. Now, if you are
having difficulty in drawing thin lines just give
a little practice to it, especially use the tip of your brush for drawing
the thin lines. Don't use the entire brush,
don't bend the brush, very lightly press without
any pressing your brush, use the tip of the brush
and draw the lines. This will create a
very nice fine line when you will only use
the tip of your brush. Oh. You can see I'm just giving a little
shape to the mountains, and then we'll start with the detailing the texture
detailing of the mountains. We have already
blocking it first with one just outlining it
with this rigger brush, and then I'll start with the
detailing of the mountains. For the detailing
of the mountains, we will be needing
different types of brushes. First, let's use this
round brush only for giving a little
more shape to it. First, Let's take this rosenairt and we'll start applying it adding a little water
from my brush to this color and mixing a
little orange to it to make a similar color which
we have used earlier for first blocking and
simply blocking it, just repeating the same process. It should not be a
very smooth finish because these are mountains. We don't want very smooth finish of the color should be there. Adding a little more white because the lower
side is more whitish. You can see I want the brush
marks to be there so that it gives a nice shape
to these mountains. All these things I'm
doing with this brush. But first, I will just take this masking tape in
this center line, which is horizontal line so that the color doesn't go
inside this bluish part. Just the center line, I'm
putting the tape over there and then we'll do
the entire painting. Okay. So slowly, I'm just giving a nice shade
with my brush, the lighter shade
at the bottom part, and it's okay if there
are brush marks because I need those brush marks so
that it looks like mountain. So it's fine if there
are brush marks. Because mountains are
never smooth finish. So there are always some or the other stones or
something there. The below part is actually
very lighter in shade. I'm just trying to
add more of white to it and I'm trying to blend
it with my lighter color. Now here again,
blending will only be possible if other color is wet. If the other color is not
wet, it will not blend. Make sure that the other
color which you have applied, the base color is wet. Now I'm just taking blue color. And a little bit of black
mix in this and applying it on the top because the top
color is also a bit dark. So I'm just applying it
and a little white also to mute the color and just
applying it on the top of it. We are just shaping the mountain actually
without the detailing. We are just blocking the colors and shaping the mountains, and then we'll start with
further adding more textures to these mountains because
texture is very important when we are doing
these types of mountains. So Now again, adding a little
color to the above part. Now let's block in this part. This part is like
rosiana and white mix. I'm just painting it again with one more coat and then I'll start with the
detailing of this. Just adding more of this color and extending
it to the bottom. Just adding one more
code so that it becomes quite opaque because when
we add one more code, it becomes quite opaque and
it's quite thick colors. Yes, we are just applying
one more code of it. Simply little white pillow. Same color, same
technique we are using, which we have used earlier for the first blocking
of the mountains, the same technique, and then
we'll do the detailing. Because whenever we do any blocking or
painting on the canvas, it's required that you
should at least do two codes of the blocking and then
start with the detailing. Sometimes it is not
required on the paper, but yes, it is required
on the canvas. Now, this blocking is done. Now we'll create the details. For detailing, we'll
use Bristol brush. This is Bristol flat brush, which I will use over here. Because these are
quite hard brushes, and it gives a very nice
texture to the mountains. So I'm just taking
this rociana and black mix and it's a
completely dry brush, and there's no water in it. Just a dry brush, and I've applied the
color on the tip, and with very fine without
pressuring my brush, without any pressure
on the brush, just light tapping
on the surface. Don't press your brush. Otherwise, it will
create thick patterns. It's better to not press the
brush and very lightly just use the tip of your brush
to create these textures. This textures gives a very nice realistic
look to these mountains. I'm just applying these textures to especially to the borders of the mountains so that
it gives a nice area, and I'll apply all over, especially to the sides
of the mountains. Very little little I'm
taking the colors and completely dry brush
without any water. I haven't wet the
brush this time. Because early in the clouds, I did wet the brush, but in this, I haven't
wet the brush. I'm using completely dry brush, and with the brush tip, I'm just creating these textures without pressing the brush, just applying to the area, which is the side
area of the mountain. This is a technique which we use for many texture detailing, especially dry brush
technique we use for most of the painting when
it comes to realistic. But if you will press it, it will create a thick pattern. Means, if you will press it, it will create a thick pattern. It should be a very light
press of your brush. Don't press it too much.
8. Mountain Detailing Part 2: So again, I'm just applying
some more lighter textures. So same brush I'm using here, and I'll apply a little more of this first brown and a
little bit of white to it. A little lighter texture I want. So I'm just applying
to the bottom area. Just the very little amount of color and the pressure should be on your
tip of your brush. Your brush should not bend. Okay. Just very light pressure of your brush and
here and there, some white textures so that
it looks like there are snow covered in between,
very light textures. It's just taking more of
white and a little more of white textures to
it here and there. You can see how realistic it is looking when we are applying so many layers
of textures to it. First, we applied a darker one, then little light and
the little more light. Little orange texture
I'm adding here because there are lots of white over
there just to cover it up. Now we will do the
other mountains which are beside this mountain. Same but before that, there's one more texture here. That is the darkest
texture, that is the lines. I'm just adding black and this
orange and this fan brush. Again, simple dry brush. This is the cristal fan brush
which I'm using over here, and I'm giving nice textures of lines to this to the
edges especially. Very light pressure again
and completely dry brush. It is a very good
brush from Rosemary. Just now the other
mountains, we'll do. The same technique we'll be using for the
other mountains. Also, a little bit texture here and there,
there will be there. Again, the same brush. That is the Bristol flat
brush I'm using here and this black and rosen mix
and a little bit of white. Again, I will add the
textures to the mountains. Again, same texture pattern, very light pressure
of the brush. Covering this whole entire area, especially the
above part because the above part is darker and
the lower part is light. I'm not applying too much to the lower part,
very little amount, but the upper part is quite dark. Just applying it. Similarly the other
mountains as well. So I'm going bit by
bit to the mountains. First, I've completed one side, then I'll complete
the other side. Likewise, I'm trying to do the mountains so that we can easily follow
the techniques. Now I'm using my rigger brush over here to create
more details. Now here, there is a shadow. That is a dark shadow
which is there. I'm adding just blue
and black combination and little bit of white, and I'll create a nice dark
shadow on the mountains, which is behind the very
little shadow is there, the shadow of the you
can say the clouds. Just a little shadow
over there with my rigger brush and a little
bit more shadow below. Then just using the same brush, and I'll create more details. Just outlining it further with the same color and giving a
little sharp edges to it, not like clean edges. I don't want clean edges. Simple simple things which are there when we do such
type of paintings. Now there are lines
which are there, which are snow lines
which are falling, like glaciers, like
lines are there. So I'm creating that. Some shapes of the line, especially on the
top of it and below, there is a snowy area. The above, there are lines like the snow falling in one line or some
glaciers or something. I'm just taking a
little bit more of white because my
white has finished. So again, using the same
technique with my rigger brush, I'm adding more
of white to this. Just simple thin lines, some are thick, some are thin, and it's like a tributary, you can say of water,
it's like that, like a river, how
the tributaries are coming and the below
part is quite white. All the snowy part is just
accumulating at the bottom. That we'll also try to create. First, the upper
part, let's do that. Just adding the lines. You can see just small lines like river tributaries
and the lower part, I'm just filling
up with the lines of white, small small lines. Every snow area is just covered
with all the tributaries which are falling on
this area and they are getting accumulated like that. Everything is snowy. M. Very vertical lines
I'm drawing over here. Also few lines on the other mountains in
the similar manner. Very small lines and just
covering the lower part. So more lines in
the area as well, are few snows which are bottom
of this mountain as well, just creating again
the same lines and patterns over there as well.
9. Mountain Detailing Part 3: Let's start with the other
mountain detailings. Same color we'll be
using and same brush, that is the Bristol brush. I'm just taking black
and rosiana mix to make create a
dark brownish shade, and then I'll start
using the same technique which I have used earlier
for the other mountains. Very slow The
pressure is very low, and you don't have to apply too much pressure on your brush. It should be only touching
the tip of your brush. As you can see, then only
that texture will come up, and the brush should be
completely dry in this case, as we did for other mountains. So if the brush will be wet, that pattern, that
detailing will not come up. So make sure that your brush is completely dry and it
is a bristol brush. It is not a synthetic
brush. Okay. Whenever we do any details, it is a little time
consuming process, but the end results
are always beautiful. So I mostly do realistic one. And Just adding a
few more details to the other mountains as well. It should be very
close to each other so that the texture appears
in the entire section. I haven't applied in the
lower portion because that is a little
whitish in color. Now again, I'm using
my rigger brush to create these lines
of the glaciers, which are falling
with my rigger brush. I'm just taking
this white color, and I'm trying to create the tributaries which
are in the river. Like that pattern, I'm trying to create These are very small
details which we need to add, especially using
this rigger brush. I'm here using my
rigger brush to create these lines which are
like tributaries. Creating the lines as we did
in the previous mountains, completely with white color. Tie to create with
different sizes, some are small, some are, some are th, so this will create a variations
in these lines. M. This brush actually plays a very important role in
each and every painting, whichever you do it, trigger brush is
very important brush because for any lining
for any details, we use these brushes. These are really, very
important brushes. Now I'm using my fan brush. This is also Bristol
fan brush to give a nice details to this. Just adding orange and
white mix and a little bit more white because
the lower part is more white than
the upper part. Just adding these details
with my tip of the brush. Again, the dry brush. Just taking more
of white because that color is similar to
the one which we have applied to as a
base and a little lighter than that and
just giving some details. Very small details are these, which we need to take care. Now I'm applying again on these pass just the dots here and there on the back
side of the mountain. Adding a little bit of
darker values as well. The more you add
these small details, the more realistic your
mountains will look. These details add
a lot of beauty to the mountains when you are
doing some realistic painting. Just adding a few
more white lines and to the backside
of the mountains, also I'll add a bit of darker
version of the colors. Just a little bit
of highlight of dark side of the colors. Okay. So now, these small
mountains are almost done. We'll add a little more
details to the middle one. Okay. Just trying to give
a final shape to it. Now let's start with this one. Now again, here I'm
using my bristol brush, taking the same similar colors and I'm wearing a little
orange to it also. And just making first the dry
brush effect on this area. It is like a slanting mountain. I'm just giving the effect
also in a slanting way. Just dry effect of
these brush strokes. You can see I'm mixing
very little little colors. I'm not mixing too
much color in this. Whenever you are also doing
don't mix too much colors, mix little colors and then do
all these small detailings. Again, completely
dry brush technique over here as well,
without any water. I'm just using this bristol
flat brush and giving these textures on the
mountains, as you can see, I will try to completely fill all these areas just by
giving these textures. Similar textures we apply to
the other mountains as well, suppose if you're doing any
other mountain details, similar textures
you have to apply. You just have to see
what all textures, water lines are there, and
then you can do any mountain. This is one of the example, how you can do the mountains. Now here, this is
a lighter version. I'm adding just lighter colors, that is white, and a little bit of brown
mix, not too much. It's just adding this
lighter version of color. All these effects adds actually the beauty
to the paintings. Now these lower portion
is very lighter in color. That's why I've added more of white and less of
this brown color. That is Rosanna. Now I will add a little
bit more details to this bigger mountain, which is sliding
because there are some details which are there, which I will do with my
brush the liner brush. Just I'm adding a
little bit more of white to the below portion because they are quite
snowy at the below area, and especially
over here as well. I'm just adding a bit more of white to
this lower portion. Now, I'll start doing this part, the main mountain,
the bigger one. I'm just creating lines
with my liner brush, but I think this will
take a lot of time. Let's use different brush. This is the flat brush
which I'm using here. To create these lines, small size flat brush I'm
using here and I'm moving the brush in texture format. This, you have to
wet your brush, remove excess of water, and then take the color. Then only that
effect will come up. Take a very little amount
of color on your brush and then you have to move
it in a diagonal form. This will give a nice
texture to the mountains, especially the lower part. I'm just adding a little
bit of orange and white mix a little bit more of white and a little bit of burn Riana. I'll add more details to this. Simply curve lines in between to give more curve effect
to these mountains. You can see how bright and
nice these mountains are looking when you apply
such small, small details. Very small details are
these which we need to take care when we are doing
such type of paintings. Now let's take a little
darker version that is rosiena and this brown and giving just a
highlight to the ones, which is the lighter shade, the lighter diagonal lines on the blow of that I'm just adding this darker color so that
this will give a to lines. Okay. Almost done with this
mountain painting, and we'll start
with further more detailing of the water
part and the pathways.
10. Final Mountain Detailing: Now, let's start with a few more details of
this main mountain. Just adding white and all
these colors, more of white, I'll add a little
bit white texture to this because it is not completely brown
with my fan brush, I'm just using the dry brush
and giving these textures. Putting my brush straight like 90 or 75 degrees and just use the tip of your brush to
create these textures. These textures I'm putting
especially in the center of the lines where there are
more browns are there. And don't press your brush. Just use it with very light pressure and
just the tip off your brush and take completely
raw color without any water to give
these nice textures. Now, let's add a few more of these details now black and
this blue Windsor blue, which I've used for
the background. I'm just mixing it and
making a darker color, and I'll start blocking the
ones which are very dark. Just with my brush, that is the flat brush. I'm just filling up all
these darker areas. Okay. Every time the size of the brushes has to be dependent on the size of
the image or the paper. This is a small area, so I have used a small
size flat brush. Everything depends
upon your size, what size you are using. Everyone asked me what size
brushes we should use, but I always recommend that
whatever is the size of your paper use that
size of brushes, like if the bigger canvases, then use one or
two inch brushes. Now, here I will create effect that is the cloud
shadow effect here. I'm just taking first black and brown to give a
little more details, darker details at these areas. After that, we'll create
a shadow of the cloud. Just small dots and
lines I'm creating. So let's add a little bit more of these darker details
with my Bristol brush. Just a little bit of
the darker shades. We almost done with
this mountain part, and now you can see how
nice it is looking of textures and details with just dots and lines
we have created. Now we will be creating
some shadow of the clouds which are
falling on these mountains. But before that, let's add some more details
of darker version, the outline and the tip. Just outlining it nicely. Outline is very important after all the paintings and
detailings has been over. Very fine line very
fine line details I'm doing over here. And our mountain will be over and then we'll be creating
the shadow effect. Let's start creating the
shadow effect first. For this, I will be using again my smaller brushes
that I used for First, I'm just taking white color and wetting my brush because
my brush has been dried. Same filbert brush I
will take a little bit of black because I want a
little grayish texture to this. Mixing it make a
color transparent by adding water because we
don't want very thick color. Just take the color and
start creating the effect. Your color has to be
very thin so that the back portion of your
mountain should be reflected. It should not be
very thick colors. Otherwise, that effect
will not come up. This is also called as
glazing effect in which you can see the upper color also
and the below color also. The color has to be that thin. Just adding first layer, then again, second layer, a little bit more of this
circular motion effect. I will add a little bit
of a more white black. Again, I'm just trying to
create the round shapes. Just similar round textures. Now you can see it is coming
up like a shadow over there. I'm just adding a little
blue also to this. Don't take too much blue. Otherwise, everything
will turn out to be blue. Adding more of
white to this blue. Again, adding some
more layers to this. Now, you can see a
perfect cloudy shadow which is falling
on this mountain. And you can see
some back paintings also of this mountain, but I also add a little
bit of the detailing with my brush so that you can see
it very light detailing. Now it's perfectly fine. We are done with the cloud
effect, the mountains, and then we'll start with this whole bunch of pathway
that is foreground, that is the pathway and the water part after
completing this.
11. Lake Detailing: Now, let's start
with the foreground. First, we will draw
a line which divides the background and the
foreground with this flat brush. So I'm just taking
white on my brush, and I'll first draw the line. From the above masking tape, I'll just draw a straight
white line with my flat brush. And then after that,
I will just take off that masking tape and we'll start with the below
water detailing. And take it off very slowly, can see how nicely that line has come up when we
apply masking tape. Now we will add
details to the water. Now for this, we'll be using our flat brush for creating the details and
the colors are same, which we have done earlier. This is the flat brush. I will just dip it in water and make it
straight with my hand, with my fingers, I will just
make it straight pointed. And then I'll try to mix the
colors that is cobalt teal, and this is windsor blue. Then with the tip of the brush, I'll start creating the details. I'm just using the
tip of my brush and just creating
these small lines. When we have pressed the
brush with the finger, it has become pointed and
when it becomes pointed, it gives these
patterns of lines. We have to fill it up
entirely to this whole area, and these lines should has to be very close to each other. It should not be too far,
very close to each other. This is a very simple
way of painting, especially the water effect. Take very small amount
of color on your brush. Don't take too much
color on your brush. Otherwise, these lines
effect will not come up. And when you're
doing this process, your color will become a
little sticky or brushes, that your color will
stick on your brush. Every time just wash it
off and then start doing it because it happens that when we are doing
such technique, after a point, the brush becomes sticky and it will not
form these textures. When that happens, first
wash off your brush, then again, make it pointed and then start using the colors. You can see how closely I
am creating these lines. It should be that close. There will be two
shades of water, one is blue and one
is little grayish. First I'm adding the bluish one, and then I'll add
the grayish one. Just take the color on
the tip of your brush. Don't take too much
color on your brush. Just you can see how
much color I'm taking. Very little at of color I'm
mixing and I'm taking it. This part, I have left
a little so that I can add a little bit of grayish
color towards this side. First I'm filling this side
with the bluish color. The more close these
textures will be the more nicer and more real
the water will look. Try to make it as
close as possible. We'll also repeat
the same technique with the grayish color as well. Just adding a few water details. Simple straight lines,
horizontal lines I'm putting these lines are
very close to each other. Similarly, we will add more of this grayish
color as well. I hope you guys are now enjoying this painting because we have already done the upper part. Now, I'm just mixing the
grayish color black and white. I'll just mix a little
bit of cobalt also. Then I'll start applying the
colors to the other portion, which is adjoining the pathway. I'm just trying to mix
it with this blue also. Again, the same process we have to mix very little
amount of color, don't mix it too much
and a little bit of cobalt teal and the same technique we have to use as
we did for this blue part. I hope you guys are enjoying
it because I am enjoying it. I really enjoy doing these
types of landscapes, and I hope you guys
also doing it and I try to teach each and every techniques
which I learn and which I experimented so that
people who are willing to learn acrylic painting
can do it easily. That's why I try to come up
with different landscapes so that you can learn it and you can add more details
to it on your own. I have done many of the classes. Some are very big level
paintings, which you can see, there are many classes, which I have already done, and you can see in the list. In fact, the floral ones are also there and the fur
painting is also there, so you can watch them as
well. Just try it out. If you love acrylic medium, or you can try with gas
as well or oil paints. Everything has same technique, just the difference
of the medium. So just adding more of
white line on the top. Now I'll add a little
bit more white line because it has to
be quite sharp. Now, let's add more of
lighter color in between, just by adding more white to the scubalt teal and just adding a few lighter values to this
mix that layering is done. Here what we are doing is the layering of
textures we are doing. Some are color, some
are light color, some are light gra
The mix of all will create a very nice
look of the water. Okay. So just here and there, I'm applying this lighter
color not everywhere. You can see already
that water effect is coming up very well. So the color like from bluish and grayish color
you can see it clearly. Now, I will add a little
grayish texture also to the other side
light grayish one. Very simple and easy
technique of painting water, especially the silent
water with this technique, you can always do any water, any river same
technique is used. This water painting
is almost done. Now we will do the pathway, and then the last part
will be our. This is done.
12. Path Detailing: So let's start with
the pathway now. Here again, I'm using
my rigger brush. First, I will
outline the pathway, and then we'll start
with the detailing. Just fine lines. First, Whenever you are drawing
some lines or anything, just make sure
that your color is fluid so that you can
easily draw the lines. A little thicker lines than
the usual one, which we draw. So that gives a
depth to this area. And now we will add
some details to this. So more lighter lines along with this black line to give
a little depth to this. Very small details which
I'm adding over here. Now we will start
with the detailing. Again, I'm using this brush, and some areas which are a
little lighter in color. I'm just adding those areas because I feel like it
should be filled more. Same color I'm just adding
it with my same flat brush. Now let's start with
this sting again, dry brush technique
I'm using here. First, a darker texture
that is I'm just using black and just giving
textures to this area. Okay. So whenever you
create any texture details, just have to keep in
mind that your brush has to be dry completely
dry without any water. So just adding a few details
to the entire path section. Try not to press your brush. It should be a very
light technique, very light brush pressure, should not be very hard. Just the tip of the brush
has to touch the canvas, that's it, and very light
textures on top of it. Now let's add some lighter
texture that is wide. Just taking white and creating some nice very light
texture dots on top of it. Just overlapping
that black textures. I'll try to repeat the
same technique everywhere. But just the tip of
the brush you have to add when you are doing
these texture techniques. This is the simplest
and easiest way to create a path
with the textures. When you look from far, it will look like real stones, which are there on that pathway. So it looks very nice
when you create textures. I've almost filled
the entire area. Now, let's add a little bit
more on the bottom part. Now, there are some stones
and pebbles which are there. That also I'll try to create. First I'll create
one bigger stone, which is, that is a rock. Actually that is not a stone, bigger smoke with
just gray color. The small stones there where the stick is holding the
flax what we have to create. I'm creating the bigger rock, and then I'll create
two to 3 stones. Also just outlining it and adding a few textures
to it, and that's it. I'm not creating too
much details to this. Now adding smaller
rocks, two three rocks, where I will be
putting the stick, which will be holding the flags. Just random shapes. Now we will give
a little texture to this and just outline
again this area, this pathway area,
so that it becomes more steep and clear. Adding a more textures to especially the corner
areas of the pathway. Just the dots random dots. Okay. So now, we'll start with creating the flag and the stick
which is holding the flag.
13. Flags Painting: Now, let's start with the
main part of a painting, that is the Holy flag painting. All these colors I have taken. These are vibrant colors, that is green, red,
yellow, blue, white. All these colors I will be
using for the flag painting. First, let's draw the stick which will be holding the flag. The stick will come through these rocks which we
have drawn earlier. Simple I'm just taking a red so that becomes reddish
brownish color. Drawing the line first
and then we'll draw the string where
the flax will be hanging and then
we'll draw the flax. Simple slanting stick, which is holding too many
loads of flag there. I'm trying to create that. Just adding a little bit
of white highlight to it. Now, let's start
with the flag part, but first let's draw the line where we will be
holding the flag, a little bit taller stick. Just fine curvy lines and make sure that
your color is fluid. Otherwise, you'll not be able
to draw such thin lines. Just making the
color more fluid and then use your rigger brush
to create the lines, simple fine lines, and there
we will create the flags, giving the outline
where the flags will be to the other side as well. Now, the simple technique
of drawing the flags easy and fast technique is that you use your flat
brush and create it. I'm using my small size flat
brush to create the flag. First I'm using red and first
I will apply red color. This is fluorescent red wing. I'm giving a little
gap in between so that I can add all the
different colors as well. So Just adding a little bit of white because it is
quite thin color to make it a little opaque. You can see at a distance, I'm just putting this red color. Then I'll put a different color. You can see the four colors
four to five colors actually. In the flag, there is, so I'll just add all
those colors as well. Now, this is the simplest
technique of drawing the flags. You can also draw the flag like first draw rectangle and
then fill the color. That option also you can do, but this is the easiest
way of drawing it. Take your flat
brush, small size, and then just draw, take your color and just
draw a line. That's it. Now I will use different
color that is the blue color. Is the same blue color which
I have used for the sky. Just simple blue color. I'm adding next
to the red color. We'll also create same details
to the other side also. Just adding blue then we'll
add a different color to it. Alternate colors we have to add. We have five colors,
different different colors, I'll start adding up. Now this is the cadmium yellow. I'm just mixing a little white to it to make it a little thick because cadmium yellows are
mostly transparent colors. I've just added a white to it. I'm just adding again
next to the blues. Okay. You can see how beautiful it is
looking when you put these flags in between this. So it's actually a real
picture where you can see in the Himalas very
beautiful place. You must visit if you get
a chance to visit it. Just adding white also. Now it's almost filled
with different colors. We'll also do the same thing on the other side where
we have created the lines and we'll create one more lines in between because they are
overlapping one another. We'll try to create
such type of view. Now, just enjoy the process, how it's coming up. Now let's add to the other side. Now, first here I'm adding blue. Then I'll add different colors. Now, here a little smaller size because the space
is a little less. So I'm just creating
it a smaller one. So similar technique I'm
repeating over here. Just enjoy it and fill
in with your own colors. Now I will add a few more lines which are overlapping
the others. Just one here and one in between the two and
one more I will draw below. So these are just
overlapping one another. I'll try to create one more
on the other side as well. Now, let's add few more flags which are overlapping
the other flags. I hope you guys
are enjoying doing this painting because I really
enjoyed while doing this. And the end result, it's really very beautiful when you put it on your
table or you frame it, whatever you feel
like you can do it. So it's a really beautiful
and vibrant painting. Oh. If you'll use fluorescent red, it will create more
effect to this paintings. Red adds magic, especially these flags add
magic to these paintings. Simply, I'm just
overlapping one or the other flags on
top of each other. Now, this painting
is almost done. We are just left
with a few flags and we are good to go
with this painting. So do share your reviews
if you like this painting. It gives me a lot of motivations and do try it out
and share with me. You can also share
