1. -INTRODUCTION: Hello, I'm Liz job. I would rebel who drinks on making everybody, not just a subject limited school with some sweet memories. So if you love watercolors, you want to dip your doors in landscape, then this seascape is just, just, just perfect for you to start with. This seascape. I will tell you all the hacks about getting us smooth sky into tone. I will also tell you how to make the mountains, how to make a reflection of this Mountains, and how to give the distance. So all this power pack things in one simple class. What are you waiting for? And just pick up your brushes. Dive into this beautiful seascape class, and submit your assignments. So excited to see your assignments and give my $0.02 on it. Happy painting. See you in the class. 2. MATERIAL LIST: Okay, So now about the material that's on the colors, I'll be using a literary colors in this French, ultramarine, so you can use any blue. I like this venture and trauma R3 or Asiana. If you don't have this raw sienna, you can use any yellow. Yellow code is good or any dark yellow. And then I will be using banana. So these three colors I'll be using. And if you don't have bonds, yeah, then you can use brown. And that is totally fine. 3. -PAINTING SEASCAPE(COMPOSTION ): So let's start our next baby. And that is a beautiful seascape. So for that, I have deep might be, but this is an A6 sheet, but all the big nose and suggests to practice, start practicing on Effexor A5 sheets. Against the last sketching is important. Let me start with the sketching. First, we will draw a horizon in the lower 1 third, but, okay, remember to draw all the soil horizons and the lower one type, but she never draw horizon in the middle of the people. And then after the horizons, I'm drawing my mountains. I'm going to draw here three mountains. And now I'm going to draw the style of my buildings, the sailboats. Okay, so remember to draw these circles also ended the line taught, but it follows the rule of Todd, then this should be enough when tight band. Okay? And again, leave a little bit space here. And some reflections will go here. Same, I'm not drawing it down by very much. And then here some land so that this is all but you have to draw the same board will be our focus of attraction. And this is a whole sketch. 4. - PAINTING SKY: Prepare first wash, variegated wash above and below. And they may be using some dry brushing and flat wash technique. Okay? So now for this sky, for us will be doing our sky. So let's prepare for the sky. Okay. Well, this guy will be done in my beeper upside down. And I'm mixing my wash is soil risky both ratio order for your washes. And I'm also going to use a little red. Okay. So maybe I like to give sensory impressions for the dual washes red and putting an end. To relish. Now I linked a scholar. Just check it on a Psalm of people like it or you don't like it. Make enough because you have to do it in that water also. Now this is enough. This is my bon voyage. From a thickened. And this wash brushes. You can use either flat brushes. Begin use round brushes, big mop brushes. They're also very nice. I'm adding a little bit too much red. It should look like it should not. Just yellow, but could I find it a little darker? I'm diluting it more. The sky wash has the least ordinal value. Okay? You can bet your paper beforehand as well if you're not very comfortable with the washer. Okay. But make sure that it is dry. It might be good to go. I'll be doing my yellow wash is upside down on 3D and then I'll be using my blue wash is take a deep breath. Relax and slowly and slowly. Now that we're done with this and started my wash. And we're just going to clarify. Just a little, mixing it in the skies, ready? Dry, and let it mix. 5. -PAINTING MOUNTAIN & LAKE: Okay, So by the time it is drying, let me prepare my color for the mountains and keep this upside down, don't disturb it. The mountains which will be a little darker tone. The same colors, ultramarine blue, tint of red. I am a fan of working with limited palettes, and I love to work with limited palettes. Bring so much harmony when we work with limited palettes. Scholar and check. And for the mountain, it will be not. You will be using a darker tonal value, then the sky. And for the syllabus, you can always put masking fluid, let it dry, and then do a mountain. Or if you are confident enough, then you can just do it directly. Okay, make sure your color is enough to do the full mountains. So now I'm good to go. Just put it in balance Schrock. Be careful around disabled or you can always put a masking fluid. This is a great idea. Somehow I like to work with my spontaneity. It is Swanson, I'm not do the masking fluid. Okay. Yet done with this mundane. Now I will just dilute it a little bit. And do the second mountain. A little lighter than the first one. Like you're doing the gradient wash. And we have done in a previous project, this side of the mountain is the darkest latest, sorry. Okay. Now we're done with the mounting. A little red, just dropping a little shoeing t. Now let this layer dry completely. And then we'll work on our next layer. We can start now. Seems dry. Watercolor, great medium to have a sip of coffee in between or you enjoy your favorite drink. Because they give you lots and lots of freedom. And you have to be before every next layer. So now we'll be doing water. The water will be via using the same washing we have prepared the sky. I just dip your gum color for this, but rewarded reflection. Just make sure that you leave a little line here to make sure For the what. Okay. I'm just leaving a little bit here. About leaving a little white space here. Then doing my yellow wash. It's very light in the sky. Okay. I guess we had done one step, which we have to do quickly. Take a thirsty brush. And the color from my syllabus. You can use masking fluid as well. And now I'll be using the same color which I've used for mounting and make reflection. Since it is wet in wet, we'll be using wet in wet technique for the infliction of mountains. Make sure this layer is that enough. Otherwise you can wait till it dries. And then do your mountains. Don't hurry up. If you're not confident, you can always read it again. No need to panic. Got anything. You gambit. Blending I'm doing with them. 6. -SEASCAPE( PAINTING FOREGROUND ): Okay. So now I'm done with my washes. I can wash my brushes. Jeff kept for my wash. And now I've prepared a darker mix for my land. The land I'll be using again, this portion blue. Sienna. See I got a nice green and burnt sienna. If you don't have all these colors, you can directly use brownouts just for the color harmony. Mixing these three colors. This time, I'll be giving a broken washer dry brush technique. So getting it so it is not a juicy make sticking all the color in my brush, which I have mixed. And putting it here with the naked eye. So good. If you want to darken it a little bit. Mixing a darker mix, just to give some highlights. This is still a dry brush technique. This technique a lot. You're good to go. Just one more last step will be doing. After trying this up. Before that, let's finish our syllabus. Take brown color, a very thin brush, rigger brush, and just give a little brown and red color. Definition is to add one more last step. And that is called glazing because I'm taking a very light wash off raw sienna. And then just putting a door here. The lower layer is dry completely before you do glazing. And they are almost done. Let's wait for the time it is dried. And we can anticipate and sign up paintings. We're already too and tape it. See the technique carefully at 90 degree angle. Medicare for me. And dentally. Use a blow dryer. If you're feeling later date is getting stuck anywhere and not coming out from ugly. Oh, yes. Wow, this is so beautiful and relaxing and so common. I can just leave it how it is a scam waiting for your paintings, deposit on the Facebook group. And one last thing, don't forget to sign it. Very, very important to take the prestige of making this beautiful piece. Okay, with that, we're done. See you in the next class. Bye. Is ended a beautiful beauty. 7. Final thoughts for you: Remember, Rome was not built in school and mustard, but I can assure you, is an 100% not in Egypt. Even I pick up my brushes after 15 years of long gap at the age or the more you practice, the better you'll get. And keep practicing is equal to e to be your until you master it. And do submit your assignments in the project section so that I can do. You can find me on Instagram at the rate of transfer my ten, keep practising. Have you been doing since Bye.
