Transcripts

1. Introduction : As Vincent van Gogh go to Grid, things are done by series of small things brought together. Notice, take a small step towards learning goes through the 70s challenge and having fun with it. Hello artist. This RBS internal, an artist and an art educator based out of Bangalore, India. I started my journey of painting couple of years back when lockdown was a part of our life. Paintings where a trend I had initially began my journey was watercolors. But as days pass and as new trends came up in the market, war shows all the beginning, I was curious, confused, and anxious whether to try this medium or not. The most beautiful medium. No wonder why, Because in height, I'm fascinated with this medium. I love our childhood days, but I had started this as my side joining from couple of years. I have shared most of my painting tutorials on Instagram and YouTube. You can check me on that as well. Coming back to grow washes such a forgiving medium that is opaque and water-based. It acts like an acrylic as well as water follows it as y being compared to our watercolor. Mistakes can easily be covered up and it is so creamy consistency. In this course, you will be learning seven different types of paintings. We will learn each day new painting. I have chosen each painting with keeping some idea in mind, which will be aesthetically pleasing, easy to print. And most important, it could be relaxing. One painting has always been the meditation. After a stressful day. When I had asked my students about, some of them express the same failings and some were passionate about learning. So here I am with this course. In the next video, we will look at the materials that are ideal for this course. It is beginner friendly. Any artist who was passionate about learning can join this class. Before we actually paint. There will be a class all you on some tips and tricks the colors and techniques require. Get ready to grab your supplies. See you in the next class. 2. Materials Required : Let me show you what all materials are required for the class. Firstly, I'll be using 300 GSM cold press watercolor paper. You can use 200 GSM paper. I'll be using coming to the brushes, I'll be using flatten brush size ten, rounded brush size eight, liner brush and brush. The colors I'll be using are from rural stroke, participate goulash colors. Along with that, I'll be using masking tape, mixing palette, or cotton cloth or tissue, or jar of water and ruler and a pencil. The in detail Carlos and takings will be shown as we proceed with those challenges. Grab your supplies, and let's get started. 3. Day 1 - Part 1: Thank you for joining this course. In today's class. You will be learning simple, yet beautifully curated painting in ten to 15 min. Let's begin with the colors required. I'll be using ivory black, along with that two shades of blue, one cobalt blue or blue. Instead of cobalt blue, you can also use ultramarine blue. But I'll go ahead with cobalt blue. Long with that titanium white. Yes, with just four colors will be creating this wonderful painting. The brushes I'll be using for this painting is flattering brush, round brush, and a liner brush. The techniques used, your blending that Sweetwater and dabbing for clouds. And also we'll be using dry brush technique or the clouds. The blending can also be done with white gouache, but here I'm using more water. The next part of this painting is a real time painting, so you would enjoy it. While myself painting. 4. Day 1 - Part 2: Let's begin by painting this beautiful, easy painting. After applying the masking tape, I'll go ahead and start with cobalt blue on the top and Lynn blue at the bottom. You can also use ultramarine blue for the top one as you can go ahead and do a graded wash, which means upper part of the painting is the darkest and lowpass. As it goes down, it gets light with the same color. I'm actually keeping it on the scene. Consistency that does the darker shade top and bottom and left. And not going not graded wash the top bar. Once you have painted both the Carlos, I'll be leaving space as you might have seen. And then I'll go ahead and blend it with water so that the two colors blend each other. The center part of the painter. You can use white gouache at the center and then blend it from top to bottom or bottom to top. As you can see, this is one more way of blending. It. Grabs in blue and then just start painting from bottom part of the paint to the top. This altar and chosen blending, just keep going until you find that it has blended properly. Move your brush from left to right for an even distribution of thing. While I'm blending as the center, you can do small vertical strokes are. And then you can just go from left to right for blending, if that seems easy for you. Satisfied with the blending parts, let's warn the clouds. I have decided to do something unique. So I have painted to heart connected to each other just like occurring inside. For making those, you can sketch out the heart design and then paint over. Since I'm short and I know how I have directly started it by dabbing method using a round brush. As you can see, if you have all Wriston apart brush, you can use that as well. I will begin by dabbing from one corner of the heart. You can also be uneven edges. To look more realistic, just make sure that our design doesn't get affected. Go ahead and paint over and over until you're satisfied. Just make sure you leave some lighter part of Cloud as well to show some depth into the heart shaped cloud. Next door or other clouds, I'll be painting in Northland manner using dry brush technique. Dry brush is when the brushes 90% by and fully loaded with paint, you will get to know and fluid is dry or not when you run the 10% when rush on back of your hand and bid doesn't leave a nice shiny surface. You will redness but it's not too wet to the surface of the water onto your skin. As you can see, dry brush is so satisfying. You can apply the brush I take off spot or the center, and then just drag your brush so that it leaves some lighter strokes, which means like clouds which are far away. Let me add some shadows to the cloud. Specific. Just like I have done, links a bit of black with white and use the grayish mixture. If you want to add shadows to the other Clouds as well, you can go ahead and I'll just do for this hot clouds, just inside, but not overall. Next, using a liner brush, we'll go ahead and paint. As you may notice, I have used board instead of sticking the paper onto the desk. This is because I want to relax my hand while painting. When painting trees and branches, it. You may notice that I'm resting my wrist onto the board, holding the brush perpendicular to the people. And almost at the lower middle part of the brush. And gradually painting. This is because it gives us thin strokes and helps and controlled painting. You can practice this onto a paper or onto the side of the masking tape, and then go ahead and paint over the painting. Factors, breakfast, head back. This makes you think, if you can paint some thin strokes, you can also use black pen or marker to make a tree. That's an easy method. Paint as many trees as you want. Some smaller ones and some longer ones. But make sure you make enough branches. I will go ahead and paint some grasses. Small one. That's all for this painting. Let's remove the masking tape. And a more diverse plant or 45-degree mammals use load dryer to make the tape. If it is sticky. You can add extra detailing and finish and make the plus three. I would love to see your progress paintings. Do share it on project section. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to ask in discussion box below. See you in the next painting. 5. Day 2 - Part 1: Welcome to the tune of seven days goulash challenge. In today's class, we will be learning how to paint caustic water. This is one of the most easiest painting, satisfying one and the most relaxing. When we see caustic water, we always think it's difficult to reproduce it. But here I'll show you how to paint it in an easier way. Let's check on the colors required for the class. Video using cellular and blue, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, black, and titanium white. The brushes here I'll be using as a flattened brush, a liner brush. You can also use a rounded brush. So let's just dive into the class. See you all there. 6. Day 2 - Part 2: Thank you for joining today's challenge. I have already taped down the paper. If you haven't taped down, let me just tell you some tips and tricks. Firstly, make sure when you tape the paper, the opposite sides are parallel to each other. And if you want irregular edges, there's no need to tape down the paper. Just make sure you have something in backgrounds so that the extra paint doesn't get stuck to your background. But for anything important. Also, after taping down the paper, make sure you run your fingers over the teeth so that there's no leakage of paint or the people. Now, let me explain you the process of this painting so that you can take your own time and paint very beautifully and in a relaxing manner. For the background, I have used cell in blue and cobalt blue. Wherever you want dark spots, you can just apply cobalt blue. And wherever you want lighter shade, you can go with surrealism. Blue, micro, you run your pain from left to right with pattern brush. And I'll make sure the edges aren't left covered up with the paint. Blend the colors properly and smoothly. If you clean it's not blending. Make sure you use a little bit of water. And as you know, washes a ticker medium. And if you add lots of water, attacks like watercolors, and it becomes lighter and tumble to quash, retails lighter in color, very translucent type. So make sure you do it in an opaque manner. Play more of paint and blended properly so that it looks opaque. I feel there's too much of light Carlo, so I'll go ahead and add some more spots of cobalt blue. You can blend it or and just leave it. Just make sure though upcoming linear blending them properly, gently blend still makes a lot of difference. So I'll be blending them. Now. I'll be using ultramarine blue with a tinge of black mixed with it. And I'll be making the shape or photo being reflected. For the first layer, I'll go with ultramarine blue with a pinch of black. Make sure for the next layer, I'll be adding white into the same mixture. And for the last one direct titanium white. Now sent you all know how it is done. So I just stopped. You authenticate. Every now and then. You can just relax and paint on your own. For making such irregular shapes, you can choose a particular size of square you want, and then draw irregular lines. Dislike how I'm doing it. And wherever the lines meet. And make sure you make it thicker. As you can see somewhere, it is tunnel and somewhere. Pick up some boxes small and some bigger ones. Just keep going and enjoy the process of painting. Just don't make one particular size boxes because that will look calm. Fuel want realism, add some small and some larger ones. And you can view a lot of space as well. In between the boxes. As I said before, make the corners ticker and in Middle Tennessee. Once it's dried, now let's add our mixture which is lighter than the previous shade. Ultramarine blue, black. And now with white, titanium white. You can go over it or you can just make another layer which is smaller or larger than the previous one. This makes sure that not every line as matching those lines, which is previously done, you can do it in between that look more better. You can stop on this layer and News Wipe, home, upset or pencil or wide glass Benson and just shade wherever the whiter shade of blue. And that's it didn't look good. But here I'll be adding an extra layer of white paintings with just taken consistency. This whites god has given a lot of effect on the painting. As you have noticed. For making the boxes or whichever shape you're drawing it, you can give the player a huge space. And then the second layer. The third layer, monitoring screens all day enhance the painting. I'm doing it in a random way just to make it look good. You can use this type of texture painting on to painting the painting. Water float or something like that. During summer painting. Look gorgeous. Yellow. I'm just teaching you how to bring this type of gift. This looks so pretty, isn't it beautiful? You can use the same texture painting to paint something like this. Here I have used the white pencil as well. Making that. Secondly, you can add the stones, water floats, anything on to that. Make sure you add shadows as well when you paint. Water flowed in touch painting. That's it for this class. Let's remove the masking tape. Again. Remove the masking tape in a planned manner of what phi degree. And if it is too sticky, use a hairdryer or hair blue wall to remove the stickiness from the tape. Just Google the tape. And then after some time, just remove it and remove the masking tape or live in the painting is dry and don't worry if the paper buckles, just keep it under some heavy thing. 7. Day 3 - Part 1: Welcome to day three of seven days. Gross challenge. I'm so glad to see you all here. If you have watched the previous two challenges, make sure you post your progress paintings in the project section. I would love to see them in today's challenge or class. We are going to paint this night sky painting with roll-off crackers. We are going to learn the reflections and also how to paint the crackers in the sky. Gets ready to grab your supplies. The two most essentially Carlos, are required for this painting as ivory black and Titanium White. Alone with that, I'll be using cobalt blue and roles. Always remember gauche. Gauche, the lighter colors, dry, dark color. So whenever you're painting on black color, the first layer will always be invisible type. So don't worry, once it's dried, it will come out properly. So being the layers only when it has dried completely to enhance the painting even more. For this painting, I'll be using a flattened brush and also a liner brush. Now of course, mixing palette, a jar of water, and rest other materials which I have discussed already in the material section. The technique you'll use just simply for making the background would be using ivory black and white. Ivory black will be occupying the upper and the lower part. And white will be blending it. And for the buildings and water will be using opaque black and for reflection broken line and also dry brush technique. And for the lightings, again, we'll be using opaque color. For the crackers really be using straight line or a curved line. Let's begin with the class. See you in the next video. 8. Day 3 - Part 2: Let's begin by painting the gorgeous night sky filled with crackers. For this, always remember, if you want to paint any landscape painting or something which is far away, you have to either draw it and one-third of the horizontal line or two third of the horizontal line. That will enhance the painting even more and give you perspective. So for now, I'll go with the upper and lower part of the paper with black color and blend both the colors with white in-between. For this painting, I have used the second and third part of the pink bar for the buildings. So the water as well as the sky looks equally in the painting. Just paint the black color evenly. It's not a graded wash. Graded washes something which is our darker at the top. And as you go down, it gets lighter. You don't have to do that. You have to just keep adding black everywhere and leaving a space in-between the two blacks so that the white can blend in and give you a gray color shade. Why we need a gray color shade? I'll tell you later. Blend the colors evenly so that there's no space left out or there's no brush markings left out. And the gray color is because we want to show the crap course and lighter as well as in the down copays and also the buildings. You can just paint black over black. So we need something lighter to show something black. And we are going to paint black color of the links into the white or gray shading. Renting buildings is very simple and flatten brush. It's either your drag it down or take it to the top using the end. No flatten brush. Once I'm done with the buildings, I'll go ahead and add more black to the bottom so that it looks opaque. For the reflection. I'll be using white color. I'll just stop not mix it completely. I'll just take the white color and then directly go over the black color. It does not completely dry. It gives you like half and half shade. So you can do this with dry brush technique as well, but you're, I'm directly doing it when the paint is not yet completely dry. Just make sure you blend the darkest white colored spots. Won't make it completely gray. Just rename the lines as you can see to the bottom left. Something like that. If you can do it, it's okay. Even I haven't got that properly again, will mourn the Carlos and we'll do it with those colors. Will go with Rose and cobalt blue. I have added a tinge of white to the rows mixture. And with this we are going to print, we're going to make them round the spine. And then we'll go ahead and make some curved lines, straight lines, broken lines. As you can see how I'll make the crackle first you see and then print that. You can experiment with other colors as well. But initially, you just take some rough paper and then paint it on that exact color and do it your amusing or normal brush around the brush just to blend the edges. You can do this with the liner or platinum brush as well. Don't use flatten. Just use the liner brush. I'm sorry for that. Yeah. You can go with rounded brush as well. See as you can see when it's blended completely, the color gets lighter. Don't worry, as it gets dried, the color will come out properly and in a beautiful way. I'm using the same mixture rose with a tinge of white and starting with the center. I'll go ahead and make some sparks. It is semi dried. You can do it when it has completely dried as well. As you can see, I'm doing it from the center and going far away. And keeping though, I'll brush perpendicular papal, you can do the dry brush technique as well here. But here I'll go with some satin finish to the crab cost. That is, we are having Olivia metaphor till as well. While the crackers are drying, we'll go ahead and make some reflection in the water. I'll be using the second type finish. You can go with dry brush technique as well as you can see. And we'll go ahead and paint the reflection onto the glasses of the buildings. We are going to bring the same fallow wherever they'll crack could color that building will have that color of paint. Don't worry if the paint is not showing up. As I said, lighter colors dry, darker. You can start adding white to the Windows as well. And we'll use a little bit more light into the mixture of rows and white and paint the next layer of crackers. That Carlo. You can do this step as much as possible. It's up to you. It's so satisfying than the diamond dries. We'll go ahead and take some other color that is cobalt blue and paint our class, you have to paint with white color. So it will get lighter. And again it can get doubt call. It happens again and again. You have to roll on. Using the same method, me go ahead and do it with cobalt blue. The same techniques, the same method, everything. Now for the rest of the buildings will go ahead and paint white. Don't meet all the links with same Carlo pinned. Use white also. Master this painting. You don't know where the horizontals so defined it with the same white. And also you can add some street lamps and Jordan for painting them. In Britain, the buildings. The street lamps does enhance the look of the painting. Adding some more reflections. That's it for this painting. Let's remove the masking tape. I don't know, but something is feeling empty. Yeah, we'll paint with some white colors and then of course, let's paint the edges and not leave them alone. It's up to you if you want to add sparklines or not. I'll go ahead and add some dots in between and also some dry brush strokes to the crackles. In your journal is done. I hope you enjoyed the process and let me see your paintings posted in the project section or tag me on Instagram. I would love to see that. And coming down, how beautiful are just painting that feel like. 9. Day 4 - Part 1: Welcome to day for seven days, gosh, challenge. Today we will be painting an evening's five at sunset. The wives painting. The colors we will be using Hill is sadly not so bright and something like a cool, right? So let's look at the Carlos required for this class. Firstly, I'll be using cell in blue. Next, we will be using pink, mid can know black, and of course titanium white. You can also use lemon yellow instead of the major technique and the most important one used hill as a graded wash. For more details, we'll look into the class. The brushes. Use your flatten brush, brush and around thin brush. Grab your supplies, and let's get started with painting. 10. Day 4 - Part 2: Let us begin with the painting. I have told many a times what a graded wash is. So we'll be using graded wash for the sky painting. So firstly, I'm using the direct selling blue onto the paper. That is the first part. And then as we go down, we'll be mixing it with titanium white and making it lighter. Cover up the edges and also the paper. And blend in properly and gently. Add little by little titanium white, enter the mixture and use it. You can either add blue into white or white intracellular Andrew. But the most preferred method as adding little titanium white and blue and using it. That doesn't create a lot of difference in the sky. I hope you get my point. Blended properly and cover the edges. Brush is too dry. Then just dip the brush into the water. Don't immerse it into the water, just the edge into the water. The perspective line, as I said, you can use either one-third of the pizza as the horizontal line, or two third of the people. Here I'm using the two third of the paper as my horizontal for making the road or pathway. I haven't washed my brush. But Ted Lynn blue, I'm directly using some of the black with some white. As you can see, the mixture of color as something like bluish gray. Painted like a partly as a starting from the horizontal and ending at the edges, something like that. You can notice how I'm dragging the brush to the corners and not covering up everything from side-to-side wash, blended properly and cover up the edges. And also the papal. Don't leave any white space. Now let's paint the clouds. You're amusing hot pink with a round brush. And really be going ahead and making clouds will get if you have already disposed some gouache onto the palette and it's dry. You can add one or two drops and make it into mixing color, consistency. And as you can see, I'm just going from left to right and not dabbing or anything. I'm just dragging it. And using only the tip. Wherever you want to make clouds, you can go ahead and make clouds. Make sure the upper part will be thicker and as you go down, it will be tunnel. It mean to say about the width of the clouds. You can use a screenshot of my painting and keep that as a reference picture and then change it. Now, I'm mixing a lighter shade of hot pink with white. And then painting the clouds. As you can see, it doesn't look in much more beautiful depth into the painting by going over with the lighter shade at the top. Dislike I'm doing it. You can also use a dry brush technique onto the cloud. Now, let's mix some yellow with white and use it onto the Cloud as the sun is shining somewhere which is not seen. You can add a local Adele center or at the bottom of the clouds. Because the sun is setting an evening swiping, then you can use orange color instead of a low as well. Now, let's make some links, pathway and everything. I'm using a round brush. You can use a flattened brush as well by using the technique that you learned. And D3 class. The buildings which I have painted the horror as a pure black. And there's no mixture of any paint in it. And we'll go ahead and make the pathway as well in black color. To refine the edges of the pathway will mix black with some wife and draw some lines which converging from the bottom of the people. Building area. One is the pathway is done. Let's add some trees. I'll be using a liner brush here. Make sure you follow the first vector as well while painting, because perspective does make a lot of the nearby painting, you can draw a larger one, which is five. You can draw a smaller one. The main trunk of the tree should be taken out, whereas the branches, you can use the brush perpendicular manner to get ten lines. The side path still looking empty. So let's add some last bar plot or property, which is that, I guess now it's making sense and looking beautiful, but the role is still empty. Let's go ahead and paint some cars. The full painting cars, I'll be using call shade of white and gray to define the road. Now for making a car, you can paint all squared force and then a rectangle below the squared. And then some small adult in-between the rectangle leaving some space. As you can see, it's very tiny. Let's make another car. Just like how we did. Square first, rectangle Second, and then tires are small circles. If you want to add the side mirrors, you can go ahead and make it again using a small dot or round tokens. This guy looks dull, so let's light pink mixture onto the clouds. You can use dry brush strokes, as I have already told. Just a smooth line. You can add the corner of the clouds. The clouds until you're satisfied, but make sure you don't cover up the background with clouds. Now, let's add some headlights to the car. I'm using some white mixture, or you can use first a load onto the black color. Then use a mixture of white on top of that color. Once it's dry, you see just tiny little drops and then dragging lines. You can go from left to right, tiny lines. Well I just a straight line as well. Let's add same Carlo for the building windows. Now for the next layer will make a low-end white and then go ahead and add it. This will brighten up the painting in one more. For the headlights, you can add a tiny dot into the painting. Now, using the gray mix show, we'll go ahead and clean up the card. And also if you're on the layers and ties, but the tie you can't see with the headlight forelimb. So let's do the screen. Now. The third layer of headlight would be the all white. As you can see, the smell brighten up even more. Doesn't it? Looking so gorgeous? Let's remove the tape. I said before, remote and a slant nano 45-degree. And don't tear the paper up a little more. When the painting is completely dry. You can add boards as well if you want or straight lungs. It's up to you to show your creativity. Looking at the border, they are so defined and parallel to each other though this enhances the painting even more and brings up the painting to light. That's it for this painting class. See you in day five. 11. Day 5 - Part 1: Welcome to the five or seven days squash challenge. Today, we will be learning a waterfall scenery. At nighttime, there are some lighting coming from the moon as well as from the streets. As you can see, not everything is like full and not everything is dark. Carlos will be using your hands, of course, ivory black portion blue, yellow, green, and also titanium white and bonds here. Now, if you don't have a yellow green, you can always mix your colors. Yellow with some sap green. Plus is a very important column. So make sure you have that. The techniques we'll be using as a graded wash and dry brush technique, stippling technique, and many more. The brushes we'll be using as a flattened brush, rounded brush, a liner brush. This painting indeed looks complicated, but it is very easy to clean. I'll show you the easiest method how to paint water for. Grab your supplies, and let's get started. 12. Day 5 - Part 2 : Waterfall is one such amazing language Nature has gifted us. Waterfalls has such an melodious voice, yet it folds and evenly but continuously. So here we are painting once in G, that is from waterfalls. And for this I'll be using portion glue and going with a graded wash. As I have already said, waters graded wash is basically the upper part being the darkest and as we go down in the shade of the color gets lighter. And I'll be using white to lighten up the Persian blue. As we go down. Blend each layer properly, go from left to right, cover up the edges, and be gentle to the paper as well. And if the paint dries and the brushes dry, just the edge of the brush into the water and use it with the paint. I'll be using black color as an underpinned. So you can see how I'll be painting black color, that is from left to right and then right to left. And also the foreground will be different or wash. So make sure your brush strokes in such a way. By running the brush in Solomon gives you an idea of what, what will come in that place and what will come in another place. As you can see at the right side. The left side, there are bumps which I have created that looks like some mountain. I'll be using some grayish mixture to give some depth to the background. And also for the foreground, I'll be going from left to right stroke instead of top to bottom one. The British mixture is done by mixing white and just some black. Now, I'll be painting a tree with a black again. This is again an underpin well, which we'll be painting layers. This will give the shadow. I'm using my liner brush and as you can see, I'm just dabbing it, putting dots. And also waking lives by pressurizing the distance onto the paper. These low median key and cover up this thing. So let's just give some background to show up in between the paint, especially at the corner of the tree. Now for the extreme corner, you don't have to make the stippling method. You can just fill it up with black. I'll be continuing painting with black to the trunk of the tree as well. Now for the foreground as well, I'll be adding some kind of shapes. As you can see, I have added grayish. Make sure just so that the foreground materials which I'll be adding with blackness, Sean. Now, let's add some sky elements, that is moon and stars. For this, I'll be using titanium white and the background has dried. They don't smudge the pain. And really add the stars and the moon. You can blend the edge of the moon with the round brush. And again, paint over the moon to make it into layers. I'll be doing that in a little step once it's dried. Let's wait for couple of minutes and check if the lower half of the painting has dried on not making the waterfall will be using dry brush technique here I've used flatten brush for making the dry brush technique. You have to hold your brush thoroughly and check if it has dried completely or not. You can check it by running the brush behind her hand. And if it leaves some water or shiny surface onto the hand, then it's not completely dry, so patted on the cotton towel or onto the tissue and run it behind the hand. It feels right but it does not It does not contain water. So that's the correct brush we are using. For this technique. I have in the white paint at the edge of the flatten brush. And now I'm gently dragging it from top to bottom. I'm not going to use it again and again. We'll be filling out with paint after a few strokes. This will not cause the blending of the bag down. And now I'm going to have loads of white color. As you can see, this dry brush technique has driven as uneven white layer where it shows the water is falling and for the splash, I'll go from bottom to top. Slant manner as you have seen. And for the foreground, just let some left to right. This is all done when the brushes dry. Now, let me add some pine tree for the background. I'm just drawing one straight line and going from left to right. As many fine please as you want. Does that don't go over the waterfall? Now, let's paint some grasses or have used a login mixture mixed with social glue to make the dark green. As we have made the tree the same way. Neither stippling method or the lifo method that is pressing the brush onto the paper. Like that. We'll make some greenery around the waterfall. Since the greenland still dark, let me add some white into the mixture that you do as like grief, but not too light green.com. So we'll be using that to create some more leaves. Let's add some to use at the corners. This I'm not going to explain at self-explanatory. It's how you use your brush to run from left to right, like that. Let's loved the tree with the same mixture of paint. I'm leaving dark spots and going ahead and painting with this shop. I'm not going to cover up the black completely. I'll be leaving some urine death. As you can see. Again, we'll be using stippling method. Stippling method is basically putting dots onto the paper. Let's add some more white into the water. Make it more beautiful as you like you are. I'll be adding some splash and gods. Now, let's have green and white mixed children. Go ahead and paint over the beans, which we have already painted. Now it's looking more bright and now I get it. For lower power. I'm using it just randomly. I'm running my brushstroke, showing up the background color and also adding up the new color. So it completely depends on your practice on how you use. The brush. Really loved this lighter shade of mixture everywhere where the greens. Let me add some motion to the moon. The moon and still take I don't think it's the right consistency. So he already blend the moon completely and then paint over it with layers. Now using burnt sienna, I'll go ahead and paint the trunk of goods changed since it's dark with fancy. So we'll go ahead and paint bonds here now. We can use burnt sienna with white mixture as well. So as you can see, I'm just going from top to bottom with broken lines and not completely filling it. Make some branches as well. Painting is almost done, but let's add some more stars than light of the tree as well. This is one way of splashing the column, which was unsuccessful because the paint was in that place. This is the second method of painting it ritual, again, I'm successful because we wanted this platform just to be on the upper part and not cover up the pink. And the third method is completely doing It's like dust, which is easy and fun to do. Now using the even more lighter shade of green, we'll go ahead and cover up the tree and the grasses. This looks even more beautiful because it's lightened up the tree. That's it for this painting. If you want to add some more details, you can go ahead and add one to check if they just have covered properly or not. Just remember the masking tape and removing the masking tape and assign 45-degree grim world once it's dry and use a blow dryer that the taste is too sticky. You can use scotch tape as well instead of masking tape. Something new for you on removing the masking tape. Tips and tricks. Isn't it looking so glory and gorgeous? That's it for this class. See you in the next one. 13. Day 6 - Part 1: Welcome to D6 of seven days squash challenge. Today we will be learning how to paint sunset painting. It is one of the most wonderful, gorgeous painting. Hope you enjoyed the process, the colors which we require for this painting as ivory black portion, blue, hot pink, lemon yellow, sap green, and also violet color. You can even use the rose color from the same brand, Bruce, true. Sap green is just for the highlights of the trees. If you don't have sap green, you can just mix Bush in blue with lemon yellow and make it as light as you want and use that same mixture. The brushes which is required for this class as a flattened brush, round brush, and now liner brush. If you have a filbert brush that is well and good for making clouds. If you don't have, I'll show you another way of using it. The techniques which we will be using here as a variegated wash, stippling and Ponto Cloud making. And we'll also paint pine trees. I'll explain you in the class what already gated wash. Grab your supplies and let's begin. 14. Day 6 - Part 2: Hello everyone. I'm pretty sure you must be wondering what a variegated wash, if you're a beginner. Variegated wash is basically a flat wash with two or more colors used. And we have to blend all these colors together evenly. So the background wash looks even. So. The colors which I'll be using for making the background is lemon yellow, orange. For making orange, we'll be using mid L0 and hot pink together. Look at the mixture. It gives such a beautiful bright orange. If you want to pay still one, you can add little bit for titanium white as well. But here, I'm okay with this bright orange color. So we'll go ahead with this. I'm starting from bottom of the paper and moving ahead towards the top, you can go with four sides when blend the colors evenly. There shouldn't be any line like that. Blend them as much as possible. I know what variegated wash it does not possible, but you can use white gouache and blend them. I'm trying to avoid void gosh. With water. I'm blending it. Mixing hot pink portion blue. We'll go ahead and paint the mixture. This is very light, so I'll be using rose color. Again, blend the colors properly and make sure the edges are covered. Run your brush strokes in one direction that is left to right. Don't run from top to bottom. These create a different brush stroke and leave a line. After putting the rows Carlo, I'll be moving on and painting it with portion blue. If you don't have Persian blue, you can use blue or cobalt blue and attention black in it. Your, I thought I'll paint with Sarah Lynn blue, but the Persian blue is perfect for it because it's sunset and it's giving us dark vibes, as we'll see, from left to right and right to left and no up and down. Blend each layer properly. I'll be going ahead and adding some more orange. The papal. Wash your brush thoroughly when adding colors because it might give you a muddy color. Multicolor is basically or dark or brownish shade color in-between bright colors. So wash properly the advert in the paper towel and unit. The variegated wash background is ready. Now, let's add some elements to this painting. We'll add some grasses in the same way like previous paintings. We will go ahead and add leaves. That is, you can either put dot or just press the brush to the paper and create some leaf structure. And for this I'll be using portion blue with black. And also I'll be adding this element with liner brush. You can just show the edges of the silhouette as having some spikes, leaves kind of structure and the rest you can fill with a flat wash. Take your time and paying the steps at your own pace. Now let me show you how to paint clouds with two methods. One is by using a liner brush itself. You can also use round brush. If you want a thick cloud. Your follow clouds and rose color. I'll go ahead that role. Entertain. You have to always use a darker shade of the color mixture. If you apply only one color that is rows, then make sure it has thicker than the background shade. By ticker, I mean to say that the color is take inconsistency and not what tree. Now, I'll be using hot pink to make the clouds. You can either run your brush in a round shape manner to make the clouds are from left to right, leaving some spaces in between. As you have seen the two different clouds. How I mean, that was one way of painting clouds with a liner brush. Now we'll move on with painting. With filbert brush. Filbert brushes useful for making clouds is just that we are using the edge of the brush. And here for the low am going with orange color. And also for the orange. And we can use orangeish pink as well. That is orange mix red, hot pink. Although it is a mixture of yellow and pink, the oranges mean. But orange and hot pink is giving our differentiate. You can always experiment with the colors. As you can see, I'm just running from left to right and right to left. By dabbing it. You can add as many clouds as you want. Just make sure you leave some space. And the bottom ones will be this, ten, and the top ones will have a bit thicker. You can also mean the dolphins container as well. Now, let's move on with painting pine trees. For this, I'll draw or paint or line, which will be thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. You can just press the bristles of the brush from bottom to top and slowly lifting it up. And that will give you, ought to know top and bottom. And for making the branches and leaves, you can just run from left to right by making just a line. After making a line, you can go ahead and add some more branches into that. Look at that. I'll show you what 1 mol pine tree if this is not being seen. And just dragging, making circular motion as we, as I drag from left to right. And as we come from top to bottom, it should follow a triangular shape. The tip of the triangle should be at the top and the broader area should be at the bottom or the middle of it. The same way. I'll go ahead and paint under the pine tree. Now you can notice how I'm running the brush and how I'm using the circular motion as I go from left to right, practice this. And then painted for the bottom part, I'm just going and blending it with the black color as well. And to add a little bit of green, I'll be using some portion blue and yellow mixture. I'm using serverless in blue, you can also use sap green or Persian blue, although it's a dark green, you can get the same shade from potion blue and yellow color. And I'm not adding everywhere, I'm just adding where the sun is hitting the tree that is at the bottom and at the corners. The green color will initially not be seen, but once the painting dries, it will be clearly seen and brighten up the painting as well. Let me add some boards as well to this painting you can add at the top or at the bottom. I'll go ahead and add at the bottom are very tiny one, because it's ready for painting. I always like to keep the paintings hiring perspective. If you don't want to have a perspective, It's up to you, but I love to keep the perspective. And let's remove the masking tape. So I again say remote in a diagonal manner. You can use a blow dryer to remove the tape is too sticky. And you can also use scotch tape. Masking tape or painter's tape is not available to you. One more tip. Before applying the masking tape onto the board. You can always put it on the gene span or any clot and then put it onto the edges of the paper. This will remove some stickiness. The tape. But I would prefer directly applying it and then removing. That's one way of putting the masking tape. Now next we'll be learning the night view from the top, that is from the aeroplane. So let me catch you up and the next day's challenge. I'm very excited for this painting. 15. Day 7 - Part 1: Welcome to day seven of seven days squash challenge. Today we are going to pin this I placing painting, which is so beautiful and gorgeous. We have already come to D7. We have painted so many paintings already. So this one, I have kept it special and our class because I love this painting. So mesmerizing that whenever you paint this view will definitely imagine yourself sitting in the aeroplane and watching from the window this view. The color palette is simply, the technique is also very simple to paint. For this, you will required of Latin brush, round brush, liner brush, and also the most important ones as well. But gosh, why I have used a full board brush and get to know in the class. And there's colors which we require for this is okay, let me show you how I paint the Cloud. That's why filbert brushes, very important. As you have seen, how easy it is to paint a broad brush the Cloud. You can also use round brush, which I'll explain you in the class, and coming to the colors. Finally, we will be using ultramarine blue, mid or low hard things, and low black, and of course titanium white. The techniques required for this class. We'll be using variegated wash technique for ultramarine blue and orange. And also how to make the clouds around clouds this time. And for the land, it's really easy and simple. I hope you are excited to painless. I'm very excited to teach you see on the class. 16. Day 7 - Part 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to the last day of seven days squash challenge. Today's class is very much interesting. As you might have seen. And imagine yourself being there. Today. We're going to paint a night view from the aerial view. Hope you got my point. That is from the aeroplane, we're going to see how the life in the world. So we are going to paint such painting. So we will start off this class with all variegated wash for the background. As you can see, I have used ultramarine blue and orange for the sky. For making orange. I'm using a low and hot pink. As I have said earlier, the horizontal will be either at one-third part of the paper or to third bark of the people. Here. The reason is at one-third part of the faithful, since it's night view, the top sky will be dark. I'll mix a shade of ultramarine blue with a tinge of black and use that after the feeding of orange color. As you can see how bright and beautiful little locate. It does kind of sunset, while the top part of the sky will definitely be darker. So I'm mixing ultramarine blue with a pinch of black. And we'll be using that for the top part of the sky. Blend properly. And I won't be blending the two together. I'll be using the pure ultramarine blue and combining all the three shades. You can also use titanium white, but titanium white will make it more pasted and lighter. So I want something bright. So I'll be using ultramarine blue itself. Blend all the three colors properly. Make sure the edges are covered. As you can see how bright and how beautiful little ultramarine shared. Firstly, I'll move the restraints toward the top, the brush. And now we'll go slowly towards the bottom. Not completely. Just one stroke will be fine. You can also go from dawn to talk as well, just so that you can avoid mixing of ultramarine blue to orange and making it muddy. The paint is still water. You can go ahead and add more layer and make it blend in the Carlos crop. Believe. I'm saying properly again and again, that's because blending is very important here. Now for lower half of the paper, that is low war to third part of the paper, I'll be using black opaque Carlo. Run your brush stokes from left to right and make sure they'll color as tic. Color consistency is tick. I will not be blending black with orange. That's because you'll get to know that clouds will be coming over there. So wide, blending orange with black and make sure that they just have their own leave any space. And the black colors pick as well. Once the lower part is dry. Go ahead and make some pathway and street lights for making pottery. I'm using the same orange color and going ahead and making slant lines as you can see, how I'll make. First you see, and then you can paint it. I'm using a bright orange. You can put some white into it and make it be still that we'll also look better. You can use dry brush technique also, but then we can use already thin to thick line. But ten line is much better. As you can see, I'm going from us land. Jade. Once we are done with the street and slant line, we can go ahead and divide them into fat. You can do as puzzles or anything. As you can see how I'm giving a shape to each box. It's not squared, it's not a triangle. It varies. Every every property will be in a different shape from if you see from an aerial view. So we'll be doing something like that. Look at that puzzle means is looking very beautiful. Now coming to the lights, I'll be using the same orange color. You can go ahead and add some white as well too. That makes sure I'll be adding dots. That is light. Next to the lines. I'll be leaving some space but not completely. Go ahead, take your time and add those dots. Small dots. Left side also and right-side also. Use a fine liner or a liner brush. This looks so pleasing and relaxing. You can take your own time and paint those lights around the pathway. I'll be adding more light towards the bottom and not towards the horizontal because the clouds will be covering up. Don't overcrowd the light. One particular species smell background is not visible at all. The black and orange line does show or purpose in this painting. Now using lemon yellow, we'll go ahead and paint over the orange, but also leaving some orange in between. As you can see, I'm going to alternate manner. One orange.n1n node or something like that. Or you can go ahead and now go over the orange dots. But leaving some orange to see as well as black. Lucy. Once I'm satisfied with the yellow color, I'll go ahead and add white lights as well. As you can see, there is orange color saying there's a local scene, there's white colors in this black color scene. So it should be something like that. And concentrate more lights towards the bottom, not towards the horizontal. Has entered looking like or complete lit up city from the aerial view. Now, let's make the white goulash liquid bubble that is enough flowable consistency so that we can add stars. And we'll be using splattering technique to add stars. This is one of the most satisfying thing to many stars, is not too many. But eventually we have to stop so that it looked beautiful. Now let's add some clouds towards orange fallow and also in the black one. I'll be using a hot pink shade and I'll go over the orange color and blending here. Black color. That though paper is completely covered up, there was some part of paper which was left out, so I was covering up. And now we'll add some hot pink clouds to the orange sky. It is kind of orangeish pink, but more of the pink color are seen. As you can see, I'm just dragging and not making the Cloud. Ready ten clouds. And yet it's sloping, so gorgeous and beautiful. Now for the clouds or the city. We'll be using filbert brush. Filbert brush is because it has a round shape and the breast shells and it's very easy to make clouds. I'll be your mixing white and a little bit pinch of black. Fear don't have filbert brush. You can go with round brush and in circular motion, make sure you don't blend the background color while doing so. But using filbert brushes, so easy, you'd have to just dab on that. First row will be covering up the horizontal by some clouds. And later we'll be covering those city, but we are not going to cover up the whole city will be leaving some space so that the light, our scene from the EDL new ones, the top part forms the Cloud. The lower part being T-shaped, if you might notice. So we have to just drag on so that it will be like a straight line or at least a curved line. We'll add some more clouds. We will go ahead and now mix some white shade into the same mixture and go, Oh, weirdo clouds. I found one towards left as necessary. You have to decide how many clouds you have to add and where to add. It depends on your painting and your perspective. I believe at the horizontal it's very necessary. And in middle you have to use it if you have to paint it according to your painting. Now I'll go ahead and add some more white clouds, whitish gray clouds. This is to give depth in the Cloud. You can do it according to your perspective again, where to add clouds and where not to, and where to add highlighted clouds and we're not. As you can see as I'm adding more and more clouds. The same white color without washing is getting lighter and lighter. We need that kind of Carlo and all this white cloud. Again, we'll dilute that. How do we dilute? We'll use some black color or grayish black and gold top of it. As it acts like an acrylic. We can use like an acrylic. I hope now you can see the down part gets a C shapes all you have to drag your brush left to right, so it gets us straight line and the bottom of the cloud. Now let us figure out, read though, wings of the aeroplane comes. Before that. If there is any detailing your own to do, you can go ahead and do it. And you can also use a liner brush if necessary, for completing the details in the Cloud. Once the painting is completely dry, Let's draw the wing of the airplane. That is the two diagonal lines which are converging and they took place at the center of the painting. You can use a ruler or just draw roughly. Now slowly go ahead and paint with a liner brush or around the brush and fill in the space of those rings. I'm using black color to fill up the space. You can go ahead and use white color as well. For making some depth in the ring will be using some grayish mixture as well. Since the stars have dried, we can go ahead and add some bright stars using the tip of the brush. As you see it's more highlighting. You can also add a small moon. For this painting. We can add some details if you want to. Let's remove the masking tape. Running on with the eccentrics. Remove the tape only when the painting is dry. Go ahead and use a blow dryer to remove the stickiness from the tape. And also remote and a slant man or 45-degree. You want to remove those stickiness from the table before you apply it onto the paper. You can go, you can add the tape onto the plot and then use it onto the pink bar afterwards. This will remove some stickiness. Feel there's too much of white and black. Clouds will add the detailing, eliminate some, will cover up some of the clouds. Again. It's up to you how satisfied you are with the painting at the end. So, yeah. Look how easy it was using a filbert brush. I'm just dabbing and then x1. Thank you all for joining this seven days.
