Transcripts

1. Introduction : Everything shines when they are given the right lighting. Lanterns are like a part of message we transmit to the sky. No words can describe the beauty of watching lanterns lit in the sky. Lanterns have the power to inspire us. Sky full of Lanterns is like a dream. If you love watching a Lit sky, be it of Lanterns or lights. And want to express it in a form of watercolor painting than my friend, this class is for you. Hey, guys. I am Mayuri an artist and an art instructor based in India. I welcome you all in this class where we will be painting a sky full of lit lanterns. And we will also look at how to paint a soft focus background and a sharp details subject against it. We will first look at the materials needed for the class, which is necessary if you are a beginner in this class, you will also learn simple watercolor techniques and its implementation in a step-by-step manner. We will have an exercise session where we will learn how to paint a soft focus background. I'll be showing different methods you can use any that is feasible to you. Also, I'll be sharing a bonus tip at the end of the class. Creating the soft background with a bokeh effect is a really fun process. So come join me in this class and have fun. 2. Art Supplies : Let's look at the art supplies that we will need for this class. Do not worry much about the art supplies or the brands. You can just use any similar brands that you have. Even if it's from an economical brand, It's hokey. All it needs to be as from an artist pushing rather than the student grade. First, let's look at the paper that is the most important part in any watercolor painting. I'll be using Arches watercolor paper. This one is 100% cotton, and it is a nine by 12 " pad of 300 GSM or 140 pounds. The paper is cold pressed. I prefer using this. You can also use out-of-print texture if you'd like. But this people with all these features and Subash for walking on wet-on-wet and other techniques in watercolor. We will be painting in a portrait orientation, but you can take an orientation and size of your choice. For the project. I will be using half of these people back. Then next, for fixing the people, we need a sturdy material that can be a cardboard or n board to fix the people. I will be using this paper, cardboard. This is really helpful as it provide some movement to the painting. And you can see me rather than fixing to your table itself. And to fix this paper, you will need a masking tape. You can go for any size. I'm using a half-inch tape. You can even use some washy or any other team. The second important part in any watercolor painting as the watercolors. For today's project, I will be using the sonnet watercolors set of 21. They are highly pigmented. The pens come in a tin container. The tab is four-fifths. So I'll be mixing the paints your itself in the back. You can use any palette or a ceramic dish or a glass dish, and these are readily available in the kitchen itself. We will also need all jar or container of water for washing the paints. And a spray bottle is optional, but really handy. For today's project, we need a white cosh. And without this project would be really incomplete. If you do not have a white gouache, you can use a white watercolor in opaque consistency. Relax and do not worry about anything. Next, coming onto the brushes, I will be using this three quarters flag dash by Princeton. And also the size ten round brush by Princeton and has a good find it really helpful for details as well. Then you will also need a smaller size brush. I'll be using size. I'll be using only these three, and they are all from Heritage Series. Apart from this, you will also need a pencil and an eraser for the sketch. Then you will also need a tissue or a cloth to wipe off the excess water or pigments. And with all this, we are ready. 3. Techniques : Let's start the techniques post with wet on wet. I'm applying a clear coat of water evenly onto the people. It is important for the water on the paper to be even. Otherwise, there might be blooms for me. So take care that there are no puddles of water. I'll go with yellow deep forest and just drop on the pins on the people. Just call it wet-on-wet because the surface is wet, the brush consisting of the paint is also wet. I use red light and add it in between the yellow. You can observe well now that wherever I'm dropping themes, the pigments are flowing with the flow of water. These hair-like structures that form in wet-on-wet technique are called blooms and they are usually unwanted ones. To avoid this problem, you have to wait for a minute or two, depending on the paper. Now, I'm dropping the black paints to show that the balloons are forming in a small and constructed way. But this is also because I have taken a lesser quantity of water in the brush. The quantity of water and pigment in the brush will also determine the results needed in wet on wet technique. 100% cotton paper is good for all the watercolor techniques needed. Whereas 100% cellulose people will not show such techniques. We want to wet on dry. I'm taking yellow deep and it looks like there's some lack left on the brush, but it's okay. Now, since the paper surface is dry, the paint and the brush is wet, this is wet on dry. I add black from the bottom and you can see it is so dry that it is forming streaks are dry brush technique here at the bottom. Since this is sort of green texture people, the dry brush technique shows very well on this. I'm blending the black with the yellow by just going in left to right motion. And this is a variegated wash. Wet-on-dry technique is useful when you want something bright at default scope. Whereas wet on wet technique will appear lighter comparatively. Next, I will be showing lifting technique and for that first time applying paint. I'm using wet on dry method because I want the pain to stand out more darker and dried. Lifting technique is really helpful when you want to fill it out or blur out any parts of the painting. For this, I'm going to use clean damp brush and soak all the excess water on a tissue and then lift the paint from the people like this. I'm just pressing the belly of the brush against the people and lifting it up. If the brush has taken up enough paint already, it will not lift off any photo pigment from the people. What do you need to do is rinse your brush again and socket on the tissue once again and repeat as much as it is required for the process to occur. You can see after repeating this step for multiple times, only, I am able to achieve the results that I need. You can also lift pigments using a tissue paper or a cotton cloth. Next, let's look at the glazing technique. And for that, I will first apply yellow color, similar to the data I've applied for lifting technique. So it's just a yellow block with wet-on-dry technique. I will wait for this to dry and then go with a second Leo. Now since the yellow block is dry, I will apply a red light on top of it in a thin consistency. So since I applied a thin layer, the layer is still visible and is often important. Glazing is basically when you apply a layer on top of already existing one. Now since the red block is not dry, it is mixing with it. But I hope you have understood that glazing technique is important one, because in watercolors, we paint in thin transparent layers on top of each other. This is how we build that in a watercolor painting using thin transparent layers. Next, let's look at the gouache technique. You can see dry brush strokes clearly. That is because of lesser water in the brush. I'll go over it with this darker paint. If you do not have a Gosh, it's okay. You can use a white watercolor in a thick opaque consistency. The results will be the same. Most of the sets do not have a white watercolor like this one. If you want to invest on a white tube separately, let it be a white quash instead of a white watercolor. Because a white gouache is really helpful in any painting. Just to show how it can stand up well, on a darker background, I'm adding black from the side. Using a normal consistency, I will add white Bosch in a form of so-called. Since the background is still wet, it will mix with the white quash and form the sheets of the underneath paints. So since the color seems like poeple, we need this, it will form for purple pasted and also show you the difference of whitewater color in a good thick consistency. So if you see the white gosh sockets are more smoother and Kremer in appearance. I tend to say cream year because the consistency of white gouache is really amazing and buttery smooth. Since they'll be nuclear, still wet. It is forming different sheets. For a good bright circles. You need to wait for the people to dry. Now the area is dry and I'm using gouache in a thick consistency. And you can see the difference of the previous circuits and the new ones. You can use gouache in different ways, even to add highlights for different watercolor paintings. Because normally in watercolors, what we do is use a masking fluid or leave the area blank for white highlights. And that will not be feasible every time for you. So white quash will come in handy. I hope you have understood the watercolor techniques that we will be doing in the project? Well, let's move on to the exercise. 4. Exercise : For this exercise, I'm just throwing fuel with landings. You draw one big 19th, similar to that of the project. All you have to do is draw this three lines and then cover the top. You can also add some fools decides. And obviously the London should have only source. I will draw for you or the smaller London's. Now you have to decide how many elements you want in the main focus and the rest in the background. I will explain this when we paint, but for now, I'm speeding up the process because it is replicated. Now for obtaining or softer background, I'm going to wet the people, but I will exclude the landing spot. So whenever you want to blot out any part of the painting or you want to paint a software background. All you have to do using wet on wet technique that is applied evenly or afford to lose part of the painting. This is against period up because the process is recitative and nothing much to explain. I'm going to avoid all of these smaller London's. Because of this exercise, you will also understand how smaller objects will also affect your painting and the background. And why masking fluid is helpful in watercolors. By just looking at the process, you might have decided that it is a tiring one. And our masking fluid can act as a savior. In such paintings. Forced use yellow deep and RD to cross the smaller line and the big one. Now since there is no masking fluid, the movement is very restrictive over you. And you would have to paint carefully across the edges of the Langerhans and absorbed properly, the areas that are dry will appear sharp. So I hope you have got the idea how to paint or declared focus subject in a soft background. Also, keep in mind that when you are doing a watercolor painting, having so many smaller detailed objects will place a more restrictive activity. It will not give a free hand, and you will also not enjoy the process. So I would suggest that you have one or add the most two main focus subjects in the painting. If you're using masking fluid, then it's not a problem. You could just drop one beans however you like for a soft background and the places will still remain white. What I'm painting here is just for your understanding, and this is not the project. So just assuming that there are lights around the 19th, I'm adding yellow buttons. It will be a darker background, that is a darker sky. We need to add some other colors as well. I'll add some red around the loop and blended. And you know how to blend, right? For proper blending, just make sure that paper is wet. I will be using so clear motion to blend here because of too many napkins. So you would have to decide beforehand the motion of the brush for blending. Whilst blending, I will go over the yellow part and that will form an orange. So you can move from one direction to the other. It is better to move from lighter to darker one. I will add lamp black in a darker concentration as it is a night sky. Adding darker color to such lighter background is really tricky. For the extreme top or bottom part, or the part away from the land and add more darker concentration of black. Whereas when you move closer to the landings, blend with a lighter value of the pigment. You can always choose the speed of your choice. From the speed section. I'll be adding more yellow to add more of the color and glue coming from the land and just observe how I'm blending it. And this is not actually required. So I've figured this sections do let me know in the discussion tab, this section was required in the normal speed. For blending, you can use more water as required. You need to work fast if your paper is drying. Otherwise you have only one option and that is to rebut the entire background after it is completely dry. Well, adding contrast in the background, you can add more darker colors there, cow, I'm doing here with black. Addition of more pigments in layers will add depth to the painting. The bulky effect. I really loved some of the pigments using a clean, damp brush. So we have seen this in the technique section. Use a synthetic brush possible. But as the value of the brush and then lift off. You can also use a slightly wet brush and shift the pigments away and they lift. You would have to continue this forum multiple times. You will not get the needed results in one go. So repeat the steps if needed. You can also use or tissue or towel. And by dabbing on the people, the excess pigment will be sold right away. However, you would have to make the shape that is needed. The trick for this is twofold the tissue in multiple sections and use the edges are corner of the square formed after multiple folds. If you are not able to form so-called like me, are uncomfortable with this tissue technique, then you can use the Brush normally and left the pigments. Or you can also use a combination of both. That is, my first wetting the area in so-called and then lifting with the help of a tissue. The best trick that we can use to form rocky effect is to use a white quash. For the bookie effect, you can use white gouache in different consistency. Even if it mixes with the background, it is okay as it will form a different shade of the background. So if your background is still wet and you are adding the bookie effect with the help of provide gosh, it will form smooth, so good with the background while giving the faded look. So you can add this and different consistencies and unknown number you like. You can also overlap one so-called. On top of the adult, you can also paint the soil goods or the bulky effect in colors from the background itself. I am now taking a very thick consistency and you can see how it makes a difference. And it's a complete game changer in the project for the land. And first we will go for a lighter sheet that is yellow. I will start from there and then gradually move up force. I will add orange from the meeting point of the yellow. Right now, I'm using the wet-on-dry technique. But you can also use wet on wet, which will lead to 0. Naturally blend of watercolors. I will add more pigment it value of orange. Now about the orange, I will add. And since it is dry, I'm using some water to dilute. Outline the shape of the London properly with this thread. After blending all the colors, I will add a tiny danger of lack and the outline like this will form a module. You can also add it to the creases and folds. Thus shadows in the London. I haven't washed my brush and using the leftover pigment on the brush. Or maybe just take a little black. I will add it to the bottom of the room. I believe the media and white. Now you can take either orange or red and blend it with the black. I will leave a very thin line for adding yellow. You can also lift a little if you're not happy with the placement of the pigment and add more yellow or whatever shape you like. Maybe to add some more pop of color, we can add red hue. You can blend the rest of the land and with the similar colors like, like the top part has read gradually moving with orange and yellow, and kind of accidentally moved out of the line. So that's correct. Vhdl. By just increasing the size of the London. For the smaller Langton's, you'd have to paint in a similar way. By adding and blending the three colors. That is yellow, orange, and red. You can also go for yellow and red. So I'm working two or three Lankans at once by adding yellow first, and then I will add orange, just about this. Since now I've been doing this module. Anton's is similar to the bigger London. I'm speeding up this section. Smaller, fine details. You can use some modern sheet madest a mix-up or tiny tinge of black and red. The bigger London, there will be more details like adding the folds are creases. You can also use blank directly and add it to the gym and are the outer boundaries. Also. Finally, for some ballpark colors, I'm going to use the mix and add in the form of small circles. You can add even yellow or orange circles. Just mix the color you want with white gosh, and it will stand out against the dark background. Also one last thing, use the thickest consistency of white and add the brightest so it goes possible. White quash really help in changing the look of your painting. You can compare and see the so-called stop now and the previous ones. That is just so much difference in them. And that's all the warm up for the project. Thank you so much for watching. 5. Fixing the paper: Let's fix the people to tabu. Now. I'm keeping ten borders for the project. You can go for any border thickness of your choice. Once placed on the desired thickness, I will move forward fingers and cut the tape with hand directly. Apply in a similar manner for all the sides. Once you are done, placing the masking tape on all the four sides, use a ruler or your fingers to move forward the tape, once again, just to secure data masking tape and have clean sharp borders. With this, you are set for painting the project. 6. Sketch: Do not worry much about this sketch because it is really simple. Draw an oval shape for the base of Dilantin. I'll correct it a little earlier and then you can observe it. After drawing this oval base, draw a line approximately at the center of the base. And then draw two diagonal lines at the end points. Now connect all of these top three points with each other. Like this. I'm not very much happy with the shape of the London, so I'll reuse it a little from this side. Now it looks comparatively fine. Draw similar lines like this inside the London. I'm drawing a small square rhombus here. You can draw a circle as well and then a flame or Dilantin. I am drawing few small landings and the shape is not specific. It is almost rectangular in shape. With oh, well bottom. Draw as many as you want, but this won't be much visible after painting the background. That is where gosh comes into play. Also, at a place where the Langton, we need to add small string or wire line that holds it together. So just draw the full lines across this small structure. And I'm raising the flame and correcting it. And we are done with our sketch. 7. Color Swatches : For the project, I will be using yellow deep. You can use cadmium yellow or any darker yellow from your palette. Next shade is orange. You can mix yellow and red if you don't have the basic orange here. The next shared that I will be using from this set is really light. You can use any red that you have. Next important color is lamp black. You can also use Payne's gray. If you do not like using black or even neutral tint is fine. We will also need a white watercolor or gosh and brushes not clean, so the color is not good. But this is just what I presentation. 8. The Background : So we will start our project by activating the veins, force. Us free on this portal is very useful for this purpose. You can also use a dropper and drop on some water onto the beans for activation. The beans are ready so we can move on to the paper. Take a generous amount of water in your brush, and then apply it evenly onto the people. Use any big size Nike owned for this. As you will have to cover the entire people. Going left to right motion from top to the bottom or bottom to top. You can also cover it diagonally. Just add the water should be even on the entire. Also, I do this for a good amount of time so as to let the people fibers soak in the excess of the water. Since I don't have a hockey brush or a bigger size flat brush, I'm covering the entire paper with water using the three-quarters flat brush as the biggest size brush. Now, be careful not apply water to the middle, bigger size, Langdon, as that is our center of attraction. So do take care around the edges to people fibers have soaked and the excess water. So I'm applying more and more on the top. The bigger Lenton and the middle is the main focus of this painting. So that is in sharp details. We are avoiding this 92 makeup lower and soft background. If you wish, you can also paint few more smaller items like this, avoiding the space. I'll be covering the entire background with water because I want okay. But if you want to go the extra mile, you can keep the smaller Langton's dry. That is being from the outside edge of the mountains, similar to the one. For me, I will be using gosh, related mountains. The end on top of already existing background. I prefer you follow with me because you will enjoy or not. And this is really a fun project. Cover the entire background with water, and you will definitely have fun with watercolors. The shine of the people should be like this, even listening. Now let's start painting. I'm switching to my size ten brush, giving it a good wash. The first color that I will go for, this yellow deep, I will start applying it random strokes. More concentrated Payne's across the video by painting across the edges of your neck. You can also use again boat or cadmium. I'm placing almost three sides of the neck. And then you can drop it anywhere you like and have fun with watercolors. And wash the brush, pick up some orange and a good concentration. And then using some side or random strokes, I'm placing it across the painting, the top part of the banana, orange, so covered with it. The pigments will flow or the flow of water. And you can see there are some hair-like structures arising. You can take care of this by blending. Just move you up, trashing, random motion across the hairy structures because there is no fine pattern here. And we're just having fun. Next time using red light across the orange. I'm blending it and add it, add some pieces on. You can add it wherever you like. Your colors and flow may not be similar to mine. Your color placements and packings should be off your choice as you are the one having fun. If you're new to watercolor, you will understand how interesting and satisfying this process. It is literally playing with water and watercolor. Wash the brush now and I'm def some of the pigments across this model. This is really not necessary. We can repeat the process using a clean damp brush. I leave it as it is because we will be using gosh. Next, I'm using lamp black and adding it to the extreme top and the bottom. Bending good concentration because, you know, watercolors, dry or shade, lighter. If you want and intense dark painting, you will have to use a darker concentration of the pigments. Even if the painting dries or shade lighter. You can go over a second year by wetting the paper first and then adding the pigments again. So if you observe when I'm loading the brush with a good concentration of the black paint. And as it starts by getting, I am moving to the reds and the other colors. Using the same brush that has a tiny tinge of black. I am blending it with the red and orange. Play with your brush using side brushstrokes. And you will be amazed to see the textures and patterns that I was washed up and take some yellow deep and add it across the line. This is to just increase the value and depth of the painting. So I will do this for the rest of the colors as well. You can see the colors up your own little lighter. So I'm adding more and more pigment and blending it with the rest. Being diluted. Black, yellow, orange, and red will give us different grounds and add some more orange is very less effect. Now, you have a complete freedom to go up in the sheets variable you like. Even if I'm adding more of the orange, I'm blending it with the black and forming a crown. If you use more of the black sheets will not be more visible. I'll do the same by adding guiding light. And you can see how randomly I'm playing with the cache. You can see it is Adobe or some vaguely, vaguely back. I'm pushing in some darker pigment inside as fun. And wash my brush and add some paring knife as that is very visible. And using the brush, I'll add some dots like this across. You might have observed light late 19th in the sky. And the texture of the sky and the clouds that arises from it. Just in a similar way, you have to ping this glowing sky. Some more purple thread and blending. I haven't washed my brush and some touch ups wherever I feel. Like I'm adding and pushing the ground, splitting father. Whoops, I got to fix this. Now. I will do this by outlining. Again. Just take and you do not make mistakes nice, neat because it will push the pains and written inside, reducing the size of the night. And wherever there are hair-like structures. Just blend it like this. Just water blooms and will form naturally with the flow of the water. The black up your little lighter. So I'm adding more to the extreme bottom. And as it dilutes IV blend it with the father colors. This is just like painting. Ok. Now this guy, but with different range of colors, I'm painting some user sees like this of Laos. And wherever you feel no contrast from being released mode. I will washed my brush and lift across some places. Or final touch ups. There's a little black on the brush and it looks like it does blend on the paper. So I will wash the brush and then lift up knowing the areas that I want. Using a clean, damp brush, I've left some pigments for the small napkins. Repeat multiple times. I haven't washed my brush here, but still the pigments are being lifted. That is because I'm soaking the excess on that issue. Since the paper is wet, brush dry, it is drained into the lifting technique. While the paper is wet or semi wet in condition. Use white watercolor or the bouquet effect on you have to do is paint so you can place them anywhere you want and in any sizes. Because the source of light might not be the same. Since the paper is spread. The bulky effect is no more hokey. It looks like a cotton ball. Using a clean damp brush, just run across the hairy structures in a circle and it will be fine. The concentration of the circles by adding more of the light colored circles, random number that you wish. It's okay if the white mixes with the background beneath. Our intention is to enjoy and create a project that actually suits your mind. Adding this small, small circles will really help you calm your mind. Bending SVO new therapy, if you take it. I've not yellow deep to the small nitrogens. It is because of the lifting technique that do yellow is visible on the background. Adding some more yellow ocher. I haven't used lifting technique for the smaller nitrogens and we'll use gosh, directly bought it. 9. The Bokeh effect : Let's take some whitewash aside in a good consistency. Add a few more circles in white. You can see asda before starts getting dry, the white will appear, move right? And there will be less activation of the themes. Few areas might still be wet, come back to the others and form mixtures. Let's reshape this previous so you can do the same for your so good that it does not seem right to you. With a good consistency of the white gouache, you will get good uptight, so-called. Whereas with a lesser one, we get one. And take out some more fresh, bright white quash and mix some yellow deep. I'm obese done. Using the yellow gouache. I wouldn't make smaller napkins with it. You can also mix model so-called gauche and actually the beauty of the bouquet effect. I'm adding the so-called indifferent sizes and different shapes of the painting. Darker back to a beauty in this painting. Good. Orange to this space down here. You can add it to y t directly. But it's okay if you use this based on yellow color because it will still give you an orange. And all we need is an orange portion that will stand out against the darker back. The process is really a tidy, but the effect is real. You can stop whenever you see it is more than enough. You also called the ignored me as much as mine. If you find a tidy, you can take a break, have a cup of coffee, and then come back to this. Now for the last shape, I will add some hair to this previous existing yellow, orange, squash it wherever you feel it is empty. You can also, or whatnot, but on top of a previously existing silver, I feel places it might not be visible. So you can add this two darker places. And then nato for the lighter areas, you can add more white to the space and paint on top of it. Once you are done adding so goes with red car wash. Wash your brush thoroughly and take a fresh piece of white gouache in a good consistency and add the brightest white circles on top of previously existing. So it goes all set, break me few pieces. I'm just using the tip of my brush and pressing it for forming this model. So good. Who afresh being both whitewash, yellow deep. I mixed it with the other smaller lightens. Asked this bright yellow gosh, we make it stand out from the rest. The other language and make few more at the 19th, smaller sizes as well. Using yellow deep, I will outline the outside edges of the Lachlan and landed with the Ghosh. This will add a glow to the land, and so do it for the rest as well. You can also use an orange instead. Whilst this land in. Entertain white quash inside it. Using the leftover yellow gosh mix. I will add few more smaller than that. We will be done with a bulky effect background. See you next in painting the landing. 10. The Lantern: For the lantern, I'm wetting it with clear water. This step is not necessary, but I like it this way. I love to see the watercolors flow and form blend on its own. I'm taking some white watercolor and adding it at the gym. You're next. I'm taking a little d and adding it just a little about the white. Let's take a little more and add it in somewhat cove like and cover the edges here. Next, I'm using orange and adding it just above this yellow. It seems a little lighter, so I'm adding more of it. We will blend the colors properly at the end. Now I'm adding red light at the top of Orange. Be careful while painting the edges of the London. Without washing the brush, I'm adding this red to all the edges and blending it. I'll take a tiny it in black here. Either diluted version of the black at the top. Wash the brush. Take some red light and add on top of this diluted black like this. We will get a modern shared. Now, let's add a little more of the red light because the color appears a little lighter. I outline it with red as well. Then with a clean brush, I will blend it using left to right motion. Just adding a little of the yellow deep. Using a clean damp brush. I'm lifting the pigments at the base. I will start with orange directly. Do not paint the flame part. Leave a little space near it and cover the rest with the orange. Now, I'll add yellow deep in the center near the flame and blend it with the orange. Again, I lived at Durham using some red light act to the base of Dilantin. For some highlights, I'm adding ten lines in white gosh. Using the pastel yellow sheet, I'm adding fine lines for the flame. Add some red light to the black and bomb or darker module sheet. Using this darker maroon chair, I'm going to add details that is fine lines to the nineties. First started this to the edges of the London. Now from the edges, I will make some other lines to the 19th, just like small creases. I'm mixing a little dark night and forming or darker maroon now by this or darker shade, and adding more fine details, add this to the outer boundaries and do them. The while holding the area filename with this color as well. For the center squared or rhombus spot, I'm just outlining it with the dark mode when shear and then I will fill it with orange inside. Now using more of the water and less of the paint, I will just use the sides of the brush and scratch or move the brush on the paper like this. It's almost like dry brush, but not dry brush exactly. I'll add some fine lines using oranges well to the London. Finally, I will use a thick consistency of white gouache and add to the flame and other parts of the London for highlights. You start tennis brush or a detailer brush that you have for this and make very fine lines. Add to the other smaller Langton's as well. At the bottom. Just a small dot is enough to show or gluey sport. I guess we are done with this model. Anton's still a little gosh, left in the brush. And you know that I do not waste anything. So let's add some small bouquets when I know that's like too much of the bouquet effect in this project are the painting. But your bogey effects can be completely different than mine. Beah done with that project. So wash your brush thoroughly. 11. Outro: So now for the final reveal, Let's take off the masking tape gently. I'm always nervous at this very last step. I see this in every class of mine. Take out masking tape at an angle. Some masking tapes come off very easily, but some have already strong. It is. You have to test and see accordingly the Langton and the sky is later and it's really glowing. I hope you liked this project. Do give it a try. It's really relaxing and fun to try. Thank you so much for joining and see you until the next. 12. Bonus : In this additional video, I will be sharing a special bonus tip for you. The so-called or the bookie effect have a defined edges and we have to blow them out or more. Soft definition background. For that, I will be using a clean damp brush. Then moving it around the edges of the so-called or the bulky effects. Do not use too much water for this process. Be very light on your hands and gently just rub or move your brush across the edges of these circles around motion. This will blot out the socket. Since the circles aren't gosh, it is easier and possible to blur out the edges in a simpler way. And since this is on a darker background, it is not going to show much of what you are correcting. It is almost like erasing the edges of the circles with a clean damp brush. I hope you have understood this trick. I'm fast-forwarding this section here because there are many circuits and the method used for them is the same. If you want, you can slow down the speed from the speed section. Follow the similar process for the background lanterns as well. So thank you so much for joining the class and do leave a feedback as it is really helpful and motivating for me. I am so excited to see your projects. Do post them in the project section. Let me know in the discussion tab if this trick was helpful for you or not. If you want some additional information, check out my other classes and follow me on Instagram. I will see you next time.
