Learn to paint Spring Flowers in Acrylics

1. Class Introduction: Hi everyone. I'm Christa with Krista vineyard artistry. I am super excited that you have joined me today so that we can learn how to paint some spring paintings with acrylic paints. I will teach you some basic techniques and we will practice together on my step-by-step instructions to show you that everyone can paint. I do not have an art degree. I am not classically trained in the art. I started painting as a hobby to try and keep my sanity when all of my kids were babies. I completed my first painting about ten years ago. And I must say, I absolutely hated it. I hit it in my closet because I thought the clouds looked like the devil. But I fell in love with the process and I kept practicing. I didn't quit. And along the way I learned how to break down paintings into easy beginner, step-by-step instructions. You will come away from my class with a piece of art that you will feel proud to hang on your walls. In this series of courses, we will paint some spring tulips, colorful abstract sunflower just in time for summer. So let's jump right in with a list of supplies that you will need to get started on your first painting, the spring tulips. I'll see you in the studio. 2. Spring Tulips Supplies: You guys ready? Let's talk about the supplies you're going to need to paint this spring. Tulips painting. First, let's start with the basics. You're going to need a jar of water. You're going to need something to put in mixed paint on. I keep it super affordable and just use these paper plates from the dollar store or Walmart. And when it gets to yucky, I just toss it and go get me a new one. Easy-peasy. You're going to need some basic brushes. This is a number one on, I'm sorry. This is a one-inch flat brush. This came in a variety pack from Walmart, very easy to find. This is a number eight round brush. It's kind of thick, but it has a nice point at the end. I actually ordered this one online, but you can find these anywhere. I like to keep some sketch paper on hand. This is just regular copy paper. I will just practice my flowers on here are my brushstrokes on here before I actually try them on my painting just to make sure I have the right technique down. So we'll go over some of those practice techniques to ask for what you're going to paint on. I am going to be painting on watercolor paper sheets. These are nice for me because I teach a lot of paintings. So I can just store these in a tub somewhere. And they don't take up a lot of space and they don't curl. They stay nice and flat. The moisture in the water and the paint doesn't make them ripple. So it works well. This is actually watercolor paper. You can use the acrylic paper. They have oil and acrylic paper. They have a bunch of different brands. Just make sure that it's a good heavy paper. This one is £140 paper, and I also found this one at Walmart. You can also paint on canvas board, which I actually might do for this painting just because I have my background already done. These boards are flat, they're really affordable and that my kids paint on these when they want to paint, can be stored easily, but they can also be framed if you choose to frame your work. You can also just keep it simple of a command strips on here and just stick it to your walls. Easy-peasy. You will need paper towel for your brushes. Of course. I like to keep a pen or pencil handy just in case I need to sketch something out. Let's talk about paints for our background, we're going to use a dark navy blue. This is called navy blue, black. I'm a dark teal and a dark green. I will have all of these listed out for you with their brand and code or color-code. So you have them each specific paint so that you can know exactly which paints I'm using. You don't have to use these colors. If you want to throw in a purple, that would be fantastic. If you want to use pinks or all black and maybe black and gray, that would be great too. This is just what I'm gonna do, but you can be creative and do whatever you want to do. Your painting, not mine. For the flowers, I'm going to use a dark magenta, a bright pink, a dark wine color, and a cream color only because I used white on my test painting and I feel like the white was just too bright, so I'm gonna keep it simple and soft and use a cream color for the greenery. And we're going to use the same green color, a brighter green color, a gold Cohen for highlights. And then I'm gonna pull some more of this cream color in for even further highlights. Here are all of the colors that we're going to use. Spring tulips painting. Don't forget to put water in your job. I do that all the time. I think that's it. Let's get started. 3. Practice Painting Flowers: Hi. I'm out of breath. I guess. All set up here so that we can change our camera angle and look down here on my paper so that we can practice some of our flower petal techniques that we're gonna use for these paintings. Let's just jump right in. We are up and running. I apologize for the road noise outside. Write out this window right here is a very busy street. So hopefully it's not too distracting for you, but I do apologize. We're going to practice our tulips first. So I got dark magenta, bright pink, cream. And where you're going to use our round brush, dip it in the water. They have any excess water off on your paper towel. And I'm just going to move that up here and we're going to practice painting some tulips. I'm going to go into my white first and then my light pink. Your brush is going to look like this. Kind of all marbled looking tulips are like a long tall parentheses. You just go make one a little taller than the other. This one is a closed tulip. This is the center of the tulip. Take the brighter magenta again, come out into the outside to go back into your cream and just do the outside petals. The outer edge of the outside petals. That is a closed to him. We're gonna let that dry and add a little more layer so it's a little easier to see. Let's try that again in a darker magenta. We're gonna start with some white. I have dark magenta and white. We're going to go this way. A little more white to this appear. The middle of the tulip is a little lighter than the outer two limb. Go back into the magenta and remake your outer to live here. Rinse off my brush a little, go back into my cream color and just give it some highlights on the edge of the tulip. I want to let that dry. Now I'm going to go back into the dark magenta and put some dark magenta on this Tula. I'm just feathering in some color here. I don't want to get any in the middle because the inside of the tulip is a lighter color, pink on the outside of it to him. I'm going into the lighter magenta and I'm going to add some into this dark to limb. The nice thing about painting is really just layers. And at first, you won't like it, it won't look good to your eye, but the more you just keep adding layers, the more depth it has. No, there is such thing as going too far. So you just need to know when to quit. Going to go into my cream again. And I'm going to mix a little bit of my cream with my light pink. Just so I get a nice bright light pink. I'm going to just tap in some highlights up here. I liked that two lips, so we're gonna leave that one alone. We're gonna work on this one over here now. Just re-establishing the outer boundaries of the petals. So let's try to do a tulip that is open or a little more open than these. So we're gonna go and make that light pink again. Add some cream to your, to your light pink. Can you see what I'm doing here? I'm adding my cream to my light pink over here. Just to give me a little bit to work with. We're gonna make the, I'm gonna turn my pages a little bit. We're gonna make the center petal. The center petal is closed. And don't worry, we're going to paint over a lot of this. See what I mean by it's just a long parentheses shape, it's just a long parentheses and brushstroke. When you're up here in you're making your tip. You don't apply much pressure to the brush, but as you move down, the pressure gets bigger and bigger and bigger in your stroke gets wider and wider. I'll show you in dark magenta. This, I'm just barely touching. And then as I go down, I apply more pressure. Then I come back up. Then just light pressure, apply more pressure, more pressure, and then I come back up. You just keep doing that until you have a nice bulb shape. Now we're gonna do an open tulip. Of course I'm gonna have to paint over that, but that's okay. We're just gonna go a little open. This one's a little bigger because he's a little bit more open. You know, you could even go further. Let's make him a little brighter pink. Making another petal on the outside here. That's a big open tulip Project Challenge that you can have for this tutorial is just a practice. And post pictures of your practice petals that you've been creating in any kind of color. You can practice with completely closed buds or buds that are opening where they have multiple layers. So I challenge you to do that, post them to our community board, and let's see your progress as you work on these this week. Alright, that's easy to lips. But worthy. 4. Tulip Background: We're gonna start with blue, navy blue. About a quarter size of paint. Maybe even less if you're painting on this paper. The dark green, dark blue, the teal. Tiny bit of black. My hands are super shaky. Sorry. That's always a good sign. That's when you know your real painter. I am going to dip my paint in the blue and the green. See how I just got a little bit on the corner there. We're just going to go on the paper in a fast crisscross motion. So you're gonna be painting like this. Crisscross. Just go back and forth and you're not wanting to mix the paint completely. You just want those splotches of color. It doesn't have to be mixed completely in. Your first layer is going to look a little opaque and that's okay. Opaque means you can still see some of the paper behind it. That's okay for now. Cover your entire page or your entire canvas. I'm going to dip a little bit of my brush and my black and come over here on this corner and darken that corner a little bit. Again, I'm just using real quick flicks of my brush, just a little flicker. I'm making sure that all of the paint off my brush before I overload it with more paint. Going back in with a little bit of the black coming over here on the corner. Dark enough that top a little bit, smashing that paint onto the canvas. I'm going to go back into the blue and green. See how I did that. One corner is blue and one corner is green. I'm gonna come back here in the center. I feel like my brush is getting a little dry, so I'm gonna add a little bit of water, brushing off the excess and then going back in with the blue and green, maybe even a tad bit of teal. See how I did there to have a tiny bit of teal. Blue and green, dark blue and dark green. Water made a huge difference. The water just helps the paint just kinda move around a little easier. It doesn't get so sticky on your canvas. Do you see how you can still see some brushstrokes in there? That's okay because this is just our first layer. So we're just going to let that dry and we're gonna keep moving down. And as we move down, we're gonna be adding more green to the bottom part because this is where our greenery is going to be for our tulips. The tulips are gonna be up in here, the blooms of them. And then down here is gonna be all just a bunch of greenery. We're going to start adding more green and less blue. The blue helps the add a little more water. The blue helps it look like it's in a shadow. Which if you look at shadows and paintings, It's usually a blue, It's not necessarily a black. It's a really dark blue, sometimes brown depending on what the tone of the painting is. We're just going to keep adding more blue, green. And it's just gonna get a little greener and greener as we get down. Remembering to add a little bit of that black on the corners just to give it some depth. It'll look like those are the further away shadows. Looks like I need more pain. Let me put a little more paint on my paper palette. Here we go. You can always add more paint, but it's really hard to put the paint back in the tube. So I always start with a little bit and I can add more as I go. Remember this is just a background. And you may be thinking, Oh my gosh, this looks terrible when you have to just trust the process and just keep going. Because remember, most of this is going to be covered by flowers, so it doesn't have to look especially beautiful right now. You can just keep going until you get to a point to where you feel like you are confident in your painting. I'm going to add a little bit of teal up here just to give this a little more depth. Adding a little bit more green just because I feel like I made that a little too blue. That's a wonderful thing about painting and being sloppy. Being a sloppy artist, you can just change it as you go. I want to darken up my corners again. I feel like is a good background for our painting. All right, so we're going to let that dry and then we'll come back and hit it with the two lips. 5. Painting Tulip Flowers: I have my background finished. And I think what I'm going to do is you can have a choice. You can put your tulips at different heights. Going across the page. You can have two loops cascading down. I think I'm going to do them cascading down maybe like with one kind of just reaching out this way. I think if I have them cascading down, it would be more visually attractive. So let's just get some paint on our page, on our paper plate pellet board. Just get started. We're going to use here is this round brush. I'm going to start pink and my cream mixed it together. This was the light pink, this is the purging pink. Alright. Now if I make this one too tall, It's going to look weird, cascading down so fast. So maybe about, let's see, 1 third, two-thirds, and maybe just slightly above two-thirds. We're going to make the first pedal go off the page a little bit, off the canvas a little bit. Now remember this is only the first layer. We're going to add more to that so it can have more depth and more color. Here in a little bit on our second layer. This one's going to be more closed-up. I'm deciding if I want one here. I think I do. Maybe one that's a little more open. Again, we're just doing the first layer. Let's see. I think I kind of want them to come down, maybe come up a little bit. I want them to go with this way. I want them to start to lean over. We're just going to be leaning over now. All right. Let's put some down here in the dark. One can go down here. I just added. Brandy wine to my brush. Brandy Wine. Make it a little bit of a darker to appear like that. I might do that again. We're going to add a little bit of white because that's the inside bulb is going to be a little more open. Probably going to add one more right here, and that'll be the last of our do we need this to go this way again? Maybe one more. Well, let me think here. You know what? I think we're going to just keep it the way it is. Less is more. Wash my brush. And then we're gonna go and put our second layer on our first petals that we did. This one was a brighter pink is so we had some cream and some peak in here. Gonna just some more details to this guy. Just adding, just cream to get the shape of the petal in here. Remember to add a little more of them. Just paint to the bottom. Have to rinse out your brush every time, which is to have it I have, I guess. I'm going to add a little bit of our bright magenta to my brush. I think I need a little more on my palette. Bright magenta. I'm going to bring that guy up a little bit down here. I like that sushi pink in the middle. So we're gonna keep in touch of the brighter pink right here. We can tell it that isn't a flower petal. Someone's laughing in the studio next door. It's funny. Adding just a little bit of white to the outside of this pedal. Kind of feathering it in there just to give it a little more interest. This is the lighter color one again. We're just going to put more of that pink color on my brush and just follow what I didn't. Where you can tell that the layers of paint or making the paint brighter and less opaque. You can't see as much of the black background in the middle, which is good. Now what I don't like is this petal right here, this pedal needs to come more. What to do? I'm gonna keep what I have on my brush here. And we're going to go into the little bit of the darker magenta and mix it with some of that Persian pink and give this flower some details. I need to lighten up the middle on this one. Going up. We'll give it some highlights. This one, you do a little more details. Refresh my palette and I got to put some more pink, pink work on this one. Notice I'm working from the top-down. Because if I worked down here, I might accidentally put my hand in it and that would be very sad. Right off the bat. I know I need to go in and lighten up this guy right here in the middle. I'm going to re-establish that pedal on top. Put some highlights around the back of this guy. This petal. Give this guy some details. Sometimes I forget I'm recording and I stop talking. Now we're going to work on the darker magenta. I'm sorry, in the Brandy Wine. Over here. Tulips have this petal. It goes like this. When it's all closed uptight. How it looks. The same way. This one has a little brighter highlight right there in the center. I'm going to white on this one, just to be on top. Little more Brandy Wine on this one. Need to change that shape right there and you had to go highlights. This one is bright pink again in this was just a title like that, how it's turning darker color down here. This one has a pedal on the outside that's gonna go. My hands are getting tired. I'm starting to shake. Now let's work on this last one. Next step is let's work on our greenery. 6. Tulip Greenery: We're back. Now you're going to work on our greenery for the stems and the leaves. The stems and leaves, Han tulips are really pretty standard and easy. They are. Let me move this out of the way. Practice. We did a practice session on the leaves of tulips. I'm just pouring out my greens. I have my dark green, my Kelly green, gold. That's probably all I'm going to need. And we're still going to use our round brush, trusty round brush. Alright, so the stems on a tulip, well, let me just paint it to it real quick. What we'll do another one, crooked one. Alright, so the tulip has stems that just come down. And if it's leaning over, it usually has a stem that comes down like this. Train. This was a tulip stem. The real long and bendy overlap each other because the urban dying. Now on our painting we'll get that a little better, but that's kinda, kinda has a little cup. Then it just, whichever one you want to be on top. You add highlights to. The leaves are very long. Curly, kind of gets thick and thin. They all have this point to them right here. Let's see, maybe this one a little bit. I'll show you that you can just overlap whichever one you want to be on top and you just go in and repaint. Then let's do one over here. This one to be on top. You can just add however many leaves you want. That is basically how we're gonna do our greenery for our tulips. Down here is gonna be all leaves and greenery and stems. You need to decide where the stem is going to hit the bud in front of it and where it's going to end. So I see the stem going kind of like pretty much down into that one. Then just getting lost it down here. This one, when it's pointing this way, the stem is going to come out and it'll get lost down here. This one is a short guy, so he's just probably going to be like my sounds guys leaning this way. So his team is gonna come out. This way. I can go down the page. This stem will go just straight down. This one will go this way. You know what? You can always change these two if you don't like the way you made them. This guy is leaning, so he's gonna go this way. It's kind of leaning, kind of picture him kind of going a little S. This guy's gonna do kind of an opposite. I'm getting brighter. I'm using my brighter greens as I go this way. Now what I want to do is go back and put the little cups on the end, on the bottoms of the two of them are there and they're connected. Really just align. I mean, it's kind of follows the shape of the belly of the flower. We just want them to have just kind of grounds them, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Now we're going to add some, some leaves. I envisioned seeing a leaf just poking out here just a little bit. Then maybe one floating out right here. Big one right here. This is just first layer of several. Want to think about covering up the most of this back here though. Close to that one. Let me give this some little bit of brighter highlights up here. I think there needs to be one right in here. I don't want it to curve this way. I want this guy to be on top. It's going to add. Definitely needs to start right here. A little bit of my, my gold. Just to give this guy a little bit of brightness. Let's decide what's going to happen here. I think I just want one forward leaf to come out. And Corinne this way, I'm just adding some highlights to my stems because as they're drying, they're getting darker and darker. I'm adding some green, maybe even some of my little bit of gold. I like that, but we'll see how it goes. Come on this stem. I'm just adding some shorter foreground leaves. Just to cover the bottom of the painting. Just adding some highlights with my kind of taking turns between the Golden, the cream. This one a little taller, changed this one right here. That I'm going to stop because I feel like I'm starting to overwork it a little bit. This is when you know, you need to stop. Here's you're done painting. I can't wait to see what yours looks like. Hope you enjoyed it. 7. Sunflower Background: Let's talk about the supplies and the paints that we're going to use for this sunflower painting. For our background, we're going to use a navy blue again. I'll set them this way so you can see him. Brighter blue. This one is called sapphire blue. Probably a little bit of this dark teal. That'll be for our background. And then when we get to the details of the background, we'll add a little bit of greens. And this will also be used in the sunflower seeds as well. For the petals will use kings gold, a little bit of Barry wine. We might use this Pueblo orange. I'm not sure yet. Animal probably use this antique parchment for our white because I like to use cream for whites instead of bright white. Sometimes it's a little too much. So those are our fees. The grid, you're going to need your water, of course. We will use our one-inch flat brush. Are eight inch around and we may need are two inch round the small one. Not sure about that yet. Here I am with my paper. And if you wanted to paint this on Canvas, please feel free. All right, so let's just get started. There's my dark blue. Can you guys see that? Yeah, you can. Okay. Dark blue, about a nickel size. We can always add more lighter blue, turquoise. What we're gonna do is dip our paintbrush and all three of these colors. I have the blue and the light blue here, and the turquoise here. And we're just going to get a smear look over from here up. Probably. Let's try to make it from here up because all this is gonna be sunflower anyways. We might even just go ahead and paint the whole thing. That might just be the easiest way to go here. Okay, so let's just get started. I'm just going to use my trusty crisscross pattern that I like to do here for backgrounds and to make it fast. My studio is downtown in a little town in Texas and right by the train station. That's okay. Minor things we can do with it. See how I'm not blending. I'm just letting the sky look marbled and abstract. Some texture, some light, some lighter colors without specifically meaning to put them in specific places. That'll come in handy here in a little bit. I'm just going to go ahead and do the whole thing. That way it's uniform. You can tell that my painting style is not realistic. I like to just be kind of messy with my painting. I feel like if I am super restricted, then I get stressed out and I don't enjoy it as much. So that's what painting is supposed to be something you enjoy doing. If you're being for me, if I'm being too technical with my paintings, then I tend to get frustrated with myself and I, I feel like I'm not good at it. And I know I'm not the best painter in the world. I wouldn't even call myself a good painter, but I enjoy doing it and I enjoy teaching it. And that's really you can ask for. I guess that's the point and just injured strips. It's a stress reliever for me. Okay, so we're going to let this dry and then we're gonna go ahead and map out our sunflower. And then we will work on the sky, blast. 8. Sunflower Pedals: It is almost dry. I have a little bit up here that's still blue, but that's okay. Right down here is where I needed to be dry the most. So I have this little jar in my hands and this is just just open. It doesn't really matter. All I'm using it for is the shape of this lid. I'm gonna come down here in the corner and put my lid the corner here because I think I'm gonna have my sunflower come out this way of the corner. I thought about putting it in the middle, which you could do because that's how we practiced it. But I think I'm gonna have it be on the corner. Do it right here. I think we're going to go on the corner and we're gonna make tall, maybe not quite that tall, tall petals. Then a little bit of abstract, kinda like a starry night sky and going on up here in the top corner. All right, so I'm just going to use my pencil and trace my circle. What do we think? I think I'm going to come over just a tad. Here we go. That's better. Now I'm not going to worry about that because I'm just going to paint over it. I need to just remember that this one, Here's my circle here. Alright? So what we're gonna do next is we're going to create our first layer of our petals. So I'm going to use my kings gold. We're going to put just a touch of the Mulberry wine in there to create this reddish brown color. Now, that one right there, that might even be too much red, we'll find out if it's too much, guess what? We can just add gold. I think that's actually pretty good. It'll dry a little bit darker than what I intended it to. So that's okay. Alright, so what I'm gonna do is have a lot of paint on my brush. I'm going to make some long skinny curly petals. Remember what we talked about in our lessons, we're going to press down as we get to our circle. And also what I'm gonna do so I don't lose that line for my circle is just no, that's not a good idea. You're going to get my brown that I forgot to tell you we're going to use. Just paint my circle real quickly. Just so I don't lose it. My hands are shaky, even painting all day. All right. So there we go. You'll notice that I'm moving my paper as I go around the circle. So I'm careful to get the right angles because sometimes those angles can turn out to be a little lopsided. I'm going to add a little curl this way to that one. I think they're starting to look a little too uniform. What I want to make sure is happening is that my arc isn't getting too long over here. So what I might do is just put, put a little dot. Let's see. Long, pin, long. Okay, so we're gonna put a little dot here, little dot here, so that they stay about the same length and height so they don't get too long on one side. I can tell I was getting too long right here, It's starting to look a little laggy. We're going to just put that one there. Then turn my page, put that one there, and then just fill in. I like how this is coming up. I see it coming up a lot right here. Try to keep that in with my painting and maybe even brighten my bright area to be right around here. Homework, I didn't meet my circle. So let's go back and do that. Just so it's color matches when we're done. Now what we're gonna do is add more kings gold to that color. I'm going to add our second glare. Now remember, we took our pin and we made sure that each one was about the same. So we're gonna do the same thing, but we're going to come in a little bit because you want these to be a little bit shorter, not too short because then that will look really weird. You just want it to be about an inch shorter. About where these are, is where our new petals are going to be. All the way around. So let's do, let's put a guide, little dot as a guide. Right here. Right here, right here. Right here, right here. Okay. See, look, I'm starting to get longer, so I need to come back too long again. Good thing I had those dots in there to guide me. Now what I'm going to do is add a little bit of my own to my gold and make another third layer, petals. These are getting closer. Now, I might start thinking Nick thickening, thickening them up a little bit. The traditional way we learned. It's funny how we practice so to make our sunflower a certain way. But I just decided to get creative and do it completely different. The good thing is this is your painting and you can change yours if you don't like mine offset like this. You can change it and do whatever you want to do. All right, now what I'm gonna do is add some highlights. And I think I'm going to start highlighting just these. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna have my abstract Starry Night and the bright part is going to be right here, so it's gonna be shining down this way. So this area right here needs to be my whitest area. We'll do that one last. So we're going to go back into my darker oranges and just start highlighting these back here. Just on the tips. Just so they're not just a single solid color and just give them a little more depth and interests. And I literally just putting one stripe of color down each petal. Then we'll do the same thing to the gold. Will just add a little bit of white to that regular kings gold. And do the same thing back here to these, there are probably still a little bit wet even. Alright. Now we're gonna take almost really bright white into our last highlights on these petals. Not white but cream. We're going to start here. Switch to my little round brush. My number two. Just had some fine line details. Does seem to be able to get with that little round brush. I'm gonna come down here and just feather in some darker orange to give us some depth that will look great once we add our this is from this color up here. I'm just starting from the circle and I'm moving my brush out, picking it up as I get further into the petal, just sort of look like a fade. Noticing that I have nothing right here. Going to blend that in just a tad. Alright. Now we're gonna do the center and I forgot to tell you we're going to use chocolate brown for this. I'm actually already have some. We're going to add a little bit of our brown to our gold over here, and we're just going to make a light brown. Remember I told you we were going to use that line as a guide. Kinda lost it, but I can still tell where it is. Now. I'm going to take all brown and just kinda come in here. I want it to be a little darker down in here. Blend that in. I think I'm gonna take some black and make this even darker in the center. Just a little bit. When you're dealing with black, it takes literally a tiny, tiny bit. I'm just, I'm really just dabbing. I'm not even making any kind of brushstroke. I'm just dabbing the colors in right here. Leaving it a little model looking to take my smaller round brush and go in with this brown and just make little teeny-tiny little dots around the edge. Because you can see the little. You don't want them in a pattern. And you don't want them to go too far into the Petals either. You just teeny-tiny little seeds you can see around the edge. I'm going to just bring a few of them in here too. I'm going to take some black and do the same thing. Just a few little areas. All right. I'm super satisfied with that. I'm going to leave that alone. Now we're gonna let this dry for just a few minutes and we'll work on our starry night sky. 9. Sunflower Sky: For our starry night sky, Here's a color. We're gonna use the Brandy, Wine, the king's gold, the cream, the dark turquoise, and the brighter blue. This is actually called sapphire. This one is called Deep Sea blue. So I'm gonna take some gold and some white and mix it right here. I'm going to kind of go off the page here. We just want it to be swirls. I'm gonna switch to my smaller brush. I'm gonna make some swirls. If you've ever seen The Starry Night painting, you'll know that it's just swirls of color. I'm going to add a little bit of blue to my green right there. Now, I'm going to swirl. Swirl right here. Let's just, let's just draw the line real quick. I'm just thinking I'm gonna lay it out. I'm going to go like this. I'll do that. Then we can just just follow a pattern and it won't look good right away. After you add lots of highlights. Really cool. That was a light blue. And now I'm gonna go back in with just white. You want it to be brighter in the center than it is anywhere else. Mixing a little bit of my brand new one in with my light blue, I'm going to get a purply color. I'm also dipping it in the turquoise, just because I want it to be a marbled blend here. There's turquoise, it goes white to light blue to dark blue. And now I'm adding a layer of turquoise, introducing the purple by having that purple on my brush. And now I just go into street purple. Let's do some purple around this sun. Remove whatever it is. Then let's just go. Let's just do another little light blue. Swirl down here this way. Just a small one. Dip your paint in the blue and just follow the dots. Then go into the white. I'm bringing the white. Then go into the turquoise leaves and then the purple. I think we're done guys. Alright, so that's our starry night painting. This will look great hanging in anybody's wall. I hope you guys enjoyed the classes.
