Transcripts

1. Introduction To The Course: Hi, Evon. This is Watmasf. In this course, we'll be exploring texture painting and how can create textured beach painting white sand? To create a hyper realistic painting. You might have watched the short from videos on my YouTube channel, and there are thousands of comments about the possess, pigments, materials, and mediums being used in it. It is such a fun loving activity, and the results you get in the end are fabulous. Following this course, you can create your own little tropical wag painting with less efforts and less waste of materials. As you'll be getting my experience hand in hand, that I earned from a lot of trials, hard work, and often wasting time and resources many, many times in trials and error and finding way that works best. Take this opportunity to enhance your knowledge, to engage with artist community, and to share knowledge with each other to go together. Good luck in seeing the next one. 2. 1. Choose the Colors: So we are going to use these tools for the texturing. These are pale knives and the clay texture tools that are used to mold the clay in differ forms. You will be using these fibrical paints. These are acrylic paints, and I'm choosing ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, move titanium white for this salt project. This is basically a sand texture painting that looks like. 3. 2. Study the Reference: Once you have gathered your materials, then start focusing on the reference image that you have selected before and focus on the light and dark ears, the direction of the light, and the dark and light color hues and the complexities in the painting to get an idea of how you will lay out this painting onto a white canvas. 4. 3. Amount of colors and color mixing: Okay, we are now choosing colors for our beach painting. I'm using bad ultra Mine mopintniu white. But the associate right interest. So I'm not using too much water paint, and I'll be taking more paint if I need it later. But as gris dry fast, I'm taking out on the paint that is needed instantly. Too much paint can obscure the process of restic paintings, and I want this painting to be very restic and beautiful. Well the color looks so yummy and delicious. Let's move on to the next six. 5. 4. SKETCHING OUT THE Composition: Now we have clear idea of what we want to paint. And we had chosen our colors. Now we are going to start the composition by sketching out the paint brushes. As you can see, I started with the blue color of cob blue. And we'll start sketching out the ocean area. I'm not using too much archic paint because I want this painting to be very realistic, very realistic we seen tropical scene with realistic sand and TD objects. So I don't want to be girted with paint or so that it may not get painted because too much paint sometimes obscures realistic painting styles. So using less paint value and building the retails step by step will make your printing, more realistic. Although it takes a bit of time in practice, but this is a rewarding effort, and it keeps things in control to know. I'm sketching out the views, the darker ones with the mop and, ultramarine blue and the lighter ones with the avalue The views that are closer will be larger and that are not close will be smaller. As I want this picture to be almost photorealistic, so I am taking inspiration from a real life beach picture so that it may look as much reality as much as possible. I have decided not to cut the details or not to make the video faster with the speed duration so that if any of you want to follow the process, it may become easier for them to know how much effort or time is invested in this painting, and they can follow it easily without being misled by less time and effort ideas. No one at YouTube or any other platform I have seen will upload their complete video without making it fast forward or cutting the important areas except the pattern, but that's, again, a paid platform. Because I want this course to be tutorial for those who want to follow this, so I don't want to trim any section, so that it will be honest guideline to recreate this composition. Such a lovely experience to go in this ocean. I have uploaded the easier version of this painting on YouTube, but it has almost 1 million views, and most of them keep asking me about Edited dia. So I hope many of you from YouTube will be seeing this process now. It's a detailed version because this is not for the people who are just starting. No, if you follow this step by step process, you can actually easily follow this. But even those who don't know the painting, but this is not a style that is a pinners one that is of a Binger style. Because it has a lot of detail and otherwise, it could have been easier, but with less realistic approach, so this style and this suits for both people who are beginner and who are at pro level and want to bring some change in their style and to bring some texture in their painting to know how to implement the texture techniques into our painting on canvas. I'll be explaining everything about whether they are long lasting or not. They do last. In my experience. As this is a basic step, so now we will be moving forward in the next step by blocking out the areas and creating more value and depth to the weaves by adding shadows and lights. Stay west. Stay safe. 6. 5. BLOCKING OUT WAVES - COLOR SPOTTING: I'm switching now to smaller size brush. As we have sketched out the composition, and now we have a rough idea, but we are going to paint. It's a sea corner, a beach. Once you have completed the sketching of the ase, then start blocking out the paint print colours, including the blue and ultramarine. Using small size brush, we'll give you more prision about your work. Large size brushes for the underpainting and the more intricate details you have to use smaller size brushes and smaller tools to get exact prision. For the reefs that are closer to the beach, it should be smaller, zero size brush, and for the farther waves, you can use sjocre brush. I'm using a small round brush and adding light colour waves and highlights in light blue colour, mixing titanium white into cobi blue. Keep an eye on your inspiration picture so that you may know the direction of the light and where the shadows in the ese. According to your image, you can also go with your imagination, but if you are seeking out a photorealistic effect in the last stage, then you have to follow a real life picture. It's your art. It's here master is so you have the opportunity to feel it in the way you want to proceed. Oh. Um, When looking out the paint between the two dark and light color waves, make sure to merge the waves from in between value. Don't over merge because in this way, that will destroy the ion of floating waves. You don't have to merge from the tip of the wave, but from the bottom of the wave, you can merge the two waves to give it a floating motion effect. Be patient with. Don't hurry up to finish the painting and spoil the result. And in the meanwhile, enjoy the process. Take a bit of writing in white on the edge of the brush to add high lights on the tip of the leaves. And wash ultramarine blue mixed white a little more on the upper corner of the ocean to make a coastline that will be tossing the coast area. A little bit of altamine flue and coal blue will be added medium darker waves in the ocean. As you move nearer to the host line, the ocean color will become lighter and the waves will be bigger. So for those steps, you have to add titanium Y and Coval flue and make larger waves. And as you move farther to the ocean, add small stokes to farther away waves in the ocean. But eating the strokes one by one until you are satisfied with the progress and you have blocked all the areas. Good luck with your process. Once this underlayer is done and dry, then we will move forward to the next step. Now we have almost drafted the whole waves and sketched out the composition nicely. In the next step, we will paint this more realistic and we'll add sand to the beach. Oh. 7. 6. Fill the Sea Area: So I we blocked out the composition by adding the aka waves first and basically read out a guest composition. If you know what mean? Now, we will feeling gas by adding lighter tones of flue onto this canvas, and I'm using different hues of flu. Also I mean cobalt blue, and ones that I mentioned earlier, these hues of flow will paint an alon of leaves onto this canvas. And we will be painting a beautiful mesmerizing three d tropical beach sand painting, and I'm very happy with outcome. I'm getting out. 8. 7. Paint Waves Underlayer: I want to create a realistic ocean painting. I could do it in an easy way, but I want it to be very complicated looking beautiful, realistic sand painting, a typical hand drawn textured painting that looks unique in its own way. It's filled with stocks of blue colour, blue paint. More we are working, the more it is getting the legen of a sea, and now you are getting some kind of idea that this half portion of the canvas is basically a se painting, a laid out sea portion. So I'm actually not fast pacing this video because I said earlier that intention of uploading this course is basically to teach the method. And to be an honest teacher, it's important to share all the tricks and magic involved in creating a beautiful texture painting, especially with a sand texture, which is kind of unique in its own way. The colors I'm using are placed with the site of canvas. I have uploaded easier version of this painting earlier on YouTube, and almost I get millions of views daily, and people ask me about the process and the pigments involved in creating the rexu and the colors. And the time duration that is involved in this painting. So this course is for the people who are interested in my style of texture painting. So I'm giving this videos at now pace so that you can easily follow this and so that you can easily follow it along and create your own magical tropical Bachand view, and good luck. Don't miss any second because then you can miss some important spots, some underpaintings, or some strokes that may not make your painting look similar like mine. And also, if you have some suggestions or any kind of questions, you can easily ask me. And I wonder if you know. Thank you so much. To find your dreams come true. To find a dreams come true. To find a dreams come true. 9. 8. Using Light and Shadow Effect to create Depth and Realism to Ocean: So now to painting is done, and we have filled the canvas with a lighter and darker hues of glue in order to create an Asian painting. Now, let's add hydrous light effect to create a hyperrealistic painting. I'm adding titanium white to smaller amount in order to add the bottole leaves. Just use a pinch of white on the tip of the brush. To create some subtle effect of waves. And titanium white should be mixed either with the medium or water to create a thinner effect to make it a convugant Mx it to make it a bit thinner because I want to add a thicker form at the last wave in the end, which will be created with a thicker consistency of paint. Basically, this layer will be a translucent layer, and underpainting of a foaming wave. Key writing strokes with white paint and follow along the video to make your art similar painting or stunning brushwork will result in a beautiful painting. If you don't want to follow along, you can make your video fast. According to your desired outcome. Nothing more to say. Just follow the process. S by time. If you want to learn this technique, thank you so much. I'll see you in the next video. Keep watching. Oh. 10. 9. Adding smaller waves on the farther sea: Proceed with the painting. Now you're getting idea of what's being painted. Our subject is getting clearer with every new stock. I'm keeping the reference image with me, as you can see in our phone to keep an eye of whether I'm closer to my desired final reference image to know that final output is replicating a reference image. It's not about replication. It's just about that I want to achieve that desired particular scene to be painted on this canvas. You are free to choose the reference image for your canvas to paint it in the way like. No one else can define what you should paint on your canvas. Whether it's your life, or it's your painting. So once you decide what do you want on your canvas, then focus and follow the techniques because no matter whatever you choose for your texture painting, the process is the same. Okay, let's come back to the video. Use Kobal blue int white and that is a brush to create a subtle wave effect in the ocean. Again, I'm repeating don't use too much paint or thicker paint because it gets harder to blind thicker paint. Follow the direction of use wall painting. From environment perspective, keep an eye constantly on your reference to follow the direction. 11. 10. Painting First Detailed Wave Layer - Adding Fine Details and Texture to Closer Sea Part 1: So all the large brush work is done. Now, I'll use a small brush to inte dies for small integrated dies. We find tiny brushes will be used for painting. I'm using zero size brush to add white waves to depict light and sunshine on top of the ocean already painted with a fills. We will do some glazing and some highlights this white blend a white waves from the end with your fingertips or a clean brush to mold it with the underpainting. Keep adding strokes and plant the blue. You can see as we had strokes, based on opening the cans with the seashore, these intricate lines will depict the flowing waves in the deep sea. Don't use too much thick paint or too much amount of paint, as I repeatedly said, that it will hinder the process of hyperalistic painting. These defined strokes will finalize our fine details and they basically serve as one of the last steps of ocean painting keeping so with light pressure and minimal amount of paint. Keep adding strokes with bar Blue, titanium white, and ultramn blue as p requirement to enhance painting until you are satisfied with the final outcome. And don't overdo the strokes it one place. Otherwise, it will damage effect. Just to add strokes as much as added use SI pideline if you can't clarify the amount of work needed. Now we have completely defined tails in our front wave. Now we will focus on adding fine details in the further waves, so let's move on to the next step. 12. 11. Painting First Detailed Wave Layer - Adding Fine Details and Texture to Closer Sea Part 2: I'm just adding small was tiny bit of leaves with a pinch of paint on the tip of the brush just to add a slight effect of waves with some tiny movements of brush. These are the fine tails that only artists see most of the time that only enhance their papo and create a hyperoismeffect in their work. The more you do, the better it'll look. But it doesn't mean that you have to overdo it. There are some spots where you have to stop avoid your work from getting spoiled. I just love this reflection. White on the top of this pinch of tetanium white. Using dest paint gives you more control on your work flow. And also, it helps you in finalizing the direction of your work. And you can switch whenever you want to. With a little bit of moth paint and a day white mixed with water and Water some medium thin paint. We are painting the transparent se alone I'm adding the layers with gimson blue to paint some dark views. Because earlier we painted white waves. Now we have to add some darker waves in between of them to create some depth and shadow with the colt. 13. 12. Painting Background Detailed Wave Layer, Adding Fine Details and Texture to Closer Sea: Keep adding as you were adding on the front part of the ocean with the titanium white and a pinch of cobalblue and mauve Basically, I'm just riding the is because there's the requirement of scursare, but actually, this course is about a realistic painting that requires more of the focus, attention, dedication towards your project. And a big interest. Because this is not for everyone. This is for someone who is really, really ambitious and eager about the painting and want to make a masterpiece. So if you are very focused and want to create a beautiful work, want to learn some techniques of per realistic paintings, then this is for you. And I hope that every artist will learn some better things in this course to enhance their workflow. And I hope that we will grow together through this process. 14. 13. Adding Sparkle to the Waves that aren't Closer : Now we are painting reflections in the back part of the sea. Earlier we painted the front part of the ocean. Now we are going to paint the details in the second portion of the sea. That will be displayed as depth of the ocean away from beach or coastal sand. I'm again using car size brush very gently with very slight pressure. I'm painting reflections with the help of tritanum white, slightly mixed with cobalt blue occasionally. In this way, I'm enhancing the detail of the waves in the front was and back waves. Let's keep adding strokes and enjoy the process. If you're ambitious, then you enjoy the process. Nothing worthwhile is ever gained with no effort or little effort. Now, I'm painting the sloping class waves with a truthful floating assign, hitting the beach area, the seline but I invite it a little bit of cobalt blue with little consistency. I'm keeping the polar simple to cup it a hole consistent with each other and look blended as a complete picture. After adding a physics sketch of our last layer, we send the seal line, I'll take a pinch of mauve and add it in my mixture, paint, and paint it over the sketch of weave I painted just now. This will enhance its transparent look, make it look more magical in nature. And again, blend blind blind. After adding reflections, now I'm adding some dark spots to give shadow with ultramarine and barbel with very small strokes. Just follow the direction of s. So there's a ion of realistic ways we are creating the scene may not get misinterpreted. This is a creative process refreshes on a mind, but for those only who have the taste to love the art, have greater minds, mottgs alty their attitude and nature. Never let anything stop you from being creative and nature loving. See you in the next video. Okay. 15. 14. Adding Front Coastal Skyline Wave: I'll give you doing the layer that shows more of 20 feet leaves and focus on breeding and smudging the paint where it is more highlighted than it is needed. Just keep eating smaller els with a tiny brush. Smudge the paint around the corners on the leaves so that they can blend nicely. This is almost the last stage of the painting where we are just adding points of titanium white mixed with all of cobalt to depict sunshine all the waves. As we go into the farther corner of the sea, the waves are getting smaller, smaller and smaller. But as you come close to the sealine, there are bigger waves to protect that. Now we are closer to the sand. I'm absolutely in love with my work at this point. I'm very satisfied with the results I'm getting and I'm enjoying the process. I hope you to rule out this process. It's not as difficult as it can be seen in the initial stage. It's a very, very lovely pilding and with almost little to no effort, you have to put in some time and some attention and focus right on this way. It's a kind of meditation which helps you real stress and depression and good sequenting 16. 15. Adding Final Front Foamy Wave Detailing to give it Finished Look: Okay, so this is the last step to complete. It's actually a C part of the painting. Is it res for completing half of the printing successfully. It looks fabulous. So now we are going to ad ripples in the lataves if you do with a zero size brush, now we interact ripples a two as you add it in the pno again a zero size brush. Just paint horizontal and vertical strokes, tighten white on more footed air, create an organ of warm water and ripples in the ocean. A ripples and lengthen the sea on the other side of the bow achieve a blended glassy look so that they can look much in the leaves. Noticing extra body on top of the leaves. I just feel like the sea needed to be darker from in between. I'm glazing. I'm greasing it with a Aabaco. I a glaze of rain in the center of the seat to beta it's a large ocean. And to make the des, let's from the far east to get a distant look. For fees that are closer, have no more details and are more prominent, compare your final option with the reference image. They are now looking the same almost and I hope that you are satisfied with the progress. I congratulate you for completing your option and I thank you for being part of our journey in this process. Now we will add sand to the beach and create a lifetime model for usual. 17. 16. Create Texture Paste with Real Sand: Um, that is the most requested part. Most questions are asked about this section. Now let's take out artery viticultor exhibited for the sand. I'm squeezing on the white paint out of the tube. I'll add mode liter if I need it, which I'll definitely need. We'll be using lots of sand and white paint the reference to juice is a real lf beach with white St.. So I've been eating lots of white paint. I'm using white St., which is often referred to as a court St. Or simply craft St.. It's amazing. It has a little sparkling effect in it, and it gets nice without adding white color, but I'm adding white to give it even more pretty look. Also, I'm reading white because it's the acrylic paint, and acrylic has a mid power. Am we go to get another glue or adhesive to it to stick the canvas on strike, it doesn't p off. So the question is how much send you used and answer is the best is to ratio. To reach your sand and Marsh paint. It gives good consistency as scent, but it depends on your criteria and how much testy consistency you want. But Ip used this one, and I never found any issues at the weights. But you have to be patient until it's dried out completely. Don't mess with it until it's not dried out. In your emptre will be a lot of mess during the process, so don't expect everything to be so cool and neat during the process. Now, our texture paste is ready, and we'll be planning it in the next episode. We washing. 18. 17. Spreading Sand Texture Paste on Canvas: So now we will be dilating the paint with the sand. We will be dilating the sand with the paint medium in order and see it well. I'm using palette knife to mix the texture base until I get the required consistency. I'll be reading paint, medium in order to get it to the right consistency. If your texture paint consistency isn't right, texture will fall off. First skillfully, you get a little trouble for the first time you're preparing a texture paste, but as it is something you're not used to but have fun seriously, you'll enjoy it. This process is much more fun than any other sort of painting because it's going to make my painting look cuter, ast and very very unique. I'm very excited now and I want to see art a lot. Once the texture paste is prepared, it's ready to use. I will take you paint knife that is normally used to mix paint colors and vet. This is the number four knives that is longer because it's easier to separate the texture paste on the canvas with it. You can also use brush to mix the texture and separate it on canvas or the painting small. Your knife is always easier. But knife is always easier. Stick to fresh on the ears where you fear to get your ocean getting destroyed. Separate your tis paint on the cans, just like you separate the butter on the brand. Yeah, I think it's relatively long. I'm using another long petty knife. I have collection of plat knives that I'm using here, and I think most of the artists, mostly the eagle viewers have these collections. Just add all the paste because I don't want it to be simple. As it sounds soring to me in art to have a simple painting, I normally post content with sand is just one no interesting effect to it. This is the first unique painting you'll find online. We will be using real sand and add footprints in it. I'm just giving it some signature style, so I'm painting the footprints in the sand by carving the texture past with the clear tools. 19. 18. Finalizing Texture Painting and tips to avoid Mistakes: So the tested past should be pretty thick. So that I can a footprints in it. I don't waste any of your paste. Just throw it out as and it will contribute to the texture of the painting. Trust me, you will not trig it at this. Clean A you sign on the parts of the painting, you shouldn't be. If it can't be cleaned, if it can't be cleaned, the paint it over glue or any other colour that will make it visible. Oh, that's beautiful, Dilo. It's such a common activity, stressful mgical for me, at least. And for all other art loves of his f. Have fun, enjoy your opinion, enjoy your process, Susan.
