1. Introduction to the Watercolor Class: When it comes to watercolor, it's always been so beautiful, alluring and satisfying. The medium has its own beautiful characteristics of being so unpredictable and free of all boundaries. The run and make the movie. They know that they are free. They're beautiful marks on the people have their own stories to say. Hi everyone, My name is Shiba. I am a hobby artist instead in an art content pre-dates YouTube. I've been painting in watercolor nearly for eight years, but didn't realize how the time past. The love for my watercolor painting has always been a motivation. The watercolor journey was so relaxing and satisfying. Today I'm here and I welcome you to join my beautiful painting class. In today's class, we will be painting a beautiful winter lamp surrounded by beautiful snowy using simple techniques, affordability. I will be painting this step-by-step and I hope you'll understand it. Italy. For better results. You should always watch a painting at first for few minutes, memorize it, and then perform. For painting. I've used very simple art supply which you can easily arrange without hitting hard on your pocket. My main focus is to get more results using simple art credits, which everyone usually have with them. It's all about giving us start to your watercolor journey. Friends. Let's get started. 2. Materials Required for Painting: Hello everyone, Welcome back. So in this part we will be discussing what are the materials required to draw this beautiful painting of hinterland for the people I'm using a E5, say school pressed people from Fabriano artistic. It is a 100% cotton people and 300 GSM in width. Now this is a good people which I usually use for my practice. As it is 100% cotton paper, they remain wet for a longer period of time, which helps you and gives you more time to work on the details. Alerts which I'm using is from insulin Newton Cotman series, Liza student grade watercolor, which you can easily get from any local Art Shop. I'm also using two jars of water, one to clean my brush and other one as a mixing medium. For draining the sketch, I'm using a symbol pencil and a kneaded eraser. Regarding the brushes, I'm using two types of brushes. One other mop brushes with number 0 and food. The other consists of one round brush number 121, rigger brush number Ford. These are all brushes are from the brands and I alert soft Aqua raffle CVs. These brushes are good to start in case you don't have the same brushes, no problem. You can use an interest cheesy half. I'm also using a half-inch masking tape to tape down my painting. This avoids buckling of people after application of water. To remove any extra paint and water, I use a cotton cloth. If you don't have the cotton glute, you can use paper towel, audit tissue people. They would work scene. We'll be using a hairdryer to dry me painting at times when required. I hope you have understood what are the materials required for this painting? Suggests grab it and join me and I see you in the next part. 3. Part 1 - Sketching and Working on First Layer of Watercolor Painting: Hi guys. Welcome back to the first part of the video. In this part I will be drawing the basic sketch of the painting, as well as I will cover the first layer of our watercolor painting. Before starting the video, I will be applying the masking tape all around the paper. So this masking tape helps the people to hold it firmly throughout the painting. And it also avoids buckling of the paper. The best fit to apply the masking tape is to hold the masking tape from twins. This will help your masking tape to be straightened to its maximum length. And then you can easily put onto the paper, which will help you to get a clear application of it. France, we have covered the application of the masking tape. Let's move on to the colors. Before starting the colors, I will draw the basic sketch using a simple pencil. Here I'm using a to-be pencil. If you don't have the same pencil, you can use HB pencil as well. Try to keep your sketch as light as possible because it created in dense onto the people. It becomes very hard to erase the sketch. If you make any errors. If you find a drained sketch a little heart, then you can take the help of this skill. Where does a green artist, I would not suggest because this will make you more dependent as it grew. And as you draw more sketches, you can see I've drawn the outer sketch off the lamp. So once we have done this second set of lines, but before doing that, we will remove some of the extra lines using a kneaded PDSA. This will also help removing the confusion of actual lanes that we have drawn for the lamp. Once we have a drawn the basic frame of the lamp. Now we will add a second set of lines, just as supporting lines to the lamp, which will help the lamb to get its volume and also give our lamp or 3D effect. For the cap, I'm using US simple triangular ship, which is little wider in the middle with a small cylinder shipped at the top. Let's quickly draw the side roads and the Lord, which can exceed lamb to the branch. Once we have completed the basic sketch of the lamp, we will draw the tree trunks which are at the back, and also the branch that holds the lamp. The trunk of the tree. I'm drawing some irregular lines at the back of the Lamb. Let's draw a little branch which holds the lamb. Friends. We have completed drawing this sketch now it's time to make it light using the kneaded eraser. I'm doing this only to remove any extra lead. Other ways when we will be applying water or pins, that extra lead would mix with him and would create little dark areas. This technique is quite easy. You just need a kneaded eraser. You can mold it into a required sheep and then press it onto the paper to pick any extra lit. This help you to remove any extra gradients, as well as it even keep the colors very fresh because the lead is already removed and it will not get mixed up with the beans. Now I'm moving on to the colors. I'm starting with a drop-off water. Now I'm playing this water in this way in order to show you the amount of water that I will be applying onto the people. Here I'm using a 300 GSM paper, which is a 100% cotton paper. We will apply water in good quantities so that the paper remains wet for a longer period of time. The technique that I will be using is a wet-on-wet technique for the maximum part of my video. And some of the areas where I want some sharp lines and some more detail areas, I will be using a wet-on-dry technique. Once we have completed applying the water throughout the people, we will leave the people for someday. And then again, we will apply a second layer of photo. This will help the people to absorb the water in a good way. And in sufficient quantity, which will help the people to remain wet for a longer period of time. I would suggest you do use two layers of photo. Let's paint now. For the brush I'm using a 0 number mop brush, which is from senile or soft Aqua. The color which I'm using is cadmium yellow. As we know that we're drawing the lamps. So we will be applying the colors a little away from the center as to shoot a source of light. And the source of light should be kept white because it's The ultimate are glowing point that you can achieve from a particular light. And as we will move Avy and we will be adding a little bit of cadmium red mixed with cadmium yellow. And then we will apply, as you can see on the screen. While applying the colors, you might find that your colors are flowing here and there. Don't get panic. Just use your brush to control it. But even if you are unable to control it, then we will be solving it in our next layer of watercolors. Motto of we're doing a watercolor. This beautiful spread will add beauty to the painting. If you find your colors are less saturated and then you can go back and use more of the cadmium yellow because the paper is still wet. At some portion. We will also use a little more saturated version of cadmium yellow mixed with cadmium red. To add a little redness. Let's add a little red tone under the gap of the Lamb to show some darker areas. Let's add a little orange at the base of the lamp. So before adding a darker tone to the lamp, we will be using this orange because once we will add a darker tone to the lamb, this orange will get mixed up with that, and we give a beautiful brown, which will give cents off a beautiful brown rots of the lamp. Now moving on to the background. For the background, I'm using intense blue mixed with a little bit of ultramarine blue and crimson red. The main colors are intense blue mixed with crimson red. And I've added a very litter bit of ultramarine blue to it. We will be applying the same color throughout the white area, which is at the background. At some of the portion. I'm also adding a little bit of water to add a very dilute layer and to make the people are more red. Because we will be adding a little more number of layers as the paper is still wet. Don't run your brush again and again onto the paper and not overdo it because it will destroy the fiber of the people and the result would not come that good. Let's add a little bit of more crimson with intense blue to get a darker tone. We will apply at the back to draw the trunk of the tree. You can see that the paper is still wet and the color which we are applying becomes little feathery. This is very good to show bouquet effect in your painting, but this is possible only if your paper is still wet. While applying this tune. We will try to cover it fast and we will apply this tone on all the areas we had rewarded. So I will be continuously applying the colors. It's not only that we will be applying this color to draw the trunk of the tree. Also the areas which we won't dock in our painting. Let's apply the mixture of intense blue mixed with crimson red, the corners, and also the area that surrounds the lamp. Now, we will use this mixture as a supporting layer in order to pop out the lamp out of the painting. I'm applying all this layer when the paper is still wet. This is the reason I'm getting a feathery effect. Let's add a little bit of more crimson to the intense blue and then we will apply. You will find that this color tends to look a little red. It's only because we have added crimson, red mode and intense blue less. France. We have completed drawing the background. Same to add some more details. Now we will move on to more saturated layers and adding more definition to our painting. You can see the mixture which I'm using right now, is a mixture of intense blue mixed with crimson red. This time the saturation as well as the thickness, is little more than the previous one because. We will be drawing some tree trunks. We will make them little darker in color. We will apply this color when the paper is still wet. Once we will apply this layer, you will find that the color is not flowing here and there. It's because the beeper is not dark wet and at the same time, the color which we are applying is quite thick. Let's draw some more branches. We will add the same color at the corners as well because we want the focus at the center. Let's complete painting the tree trunk. We will also draw some more tree trunks here and there. We'll add some branches, basically via adding some drama at the background so that the main subject, which is our land, comes in focus. The only thing which you have to keep in mind is that if you want to achieve the same feathery effect which you are seeing on the screen, then you have to perform all these activities when the paper is still wet. Let's draw some more branches using the same mixture of crimson red mixed with intense blue. You can draw as much as you want in order to make your painting look more attractive, but not overdo it. Otherwise, if we're not looked at real, you can always go back and forth if you want to make any adjustment. In this case, I feel that the corners are should have a little more colors. This is the reason I'm applying little more colors at the corners of the people. Let's add some darker tones at the top. Converts. For this, I'm using the mic shut off crimson, red mixed whip, and dense blue. We will use the same color which is in bins blue mixed with crimson red to add details to the tree trunks. And also we will drop some tree trunks and the left using the same color. Let's draw some more trees on the left using the same Musharraf in dense blue mixed with crimson red. You can see that this tree is looking a little bit darker. It's because the amount of color which we have taken is in good quantity. To draw the branches, I'm using the same brush and the mixture is in dense blue mixed with crimson red. If you feel like changing the brush, you can do in order to achieve a very thin lines. But in my case, i e feel that my brush is quite thin at the tip. So I can use the same brush to draw the very thin branches. You can see how beautifully we have drawn the first layer. We have add all the required details at some of the push and I'm going back and adding the details if I have missed, such as the branches. You can always experiment with your painting. It's not that you have to copy the same thing. If a field like adding some mood branches you can do. And at the same time if you feel the placement or should be different, such as the tree trunks which are at the back there should be pleased in some different style. You can even do that motivates your painting. You're always free to experiment. If you have completed the first layer, I hope you have enjoyed this session. It's time to dry the painting. Before we move on to our second part. I hope you've enjoyed. If you have any questions related to any step, you can ask me in the comments section. If you have missed anything, you can just go back and re-watch it again. And don't forget to share your work in progress painting images in the project gallery. I would love to watch those. Thank you so much. 4. Part 2 - Working on Details adding Second layer of Watercolor and Final Thoughts: Hello friends. Thank you so much for joining the second part of the spending session. In this part, we will be covering the second layer of watercolor painting of a lamb. Starting by using a round brush, which is from son-in-law, soft Aqua. And the brush number is twill color, which I am using a scene which has intense blue mixed with crimson red. I'm starting my painting by drying the frame of the lamp. For this, I will be adding a darker tone, often dense blue mixed with crimson red. Color to water ratio will be 50, 50%. Otherwise the color would become very dark and the blue layers of would not be that transparent. While drawing the frame tried to be very sloped the way you will make mistakes and it will become very hard to recover those mistake at this point of pain. I will be drained only half of the frame. For the remaining half, I believe, using mode of crimson to give a little reddish effect. Let's apply the tune of crimson red. You can see that this color is looking a little bit. While it didn't color. It's only because the amount of concentrators more than the intense blue. For the base of the lamp, I'm using the same color, which is in dense blue mixed with crimson red. This time, I will be using in dense blue mode. At this point of time, I find that the layer is looking a little bit less saturated. So this is the reason I'm using another layer of crimson red. When the colors are still wet. You can see how beautifully the color is flowing, adding a darker tone to it. For the base of the lamp, I'm using intense blue mixed with crimson red. But this time the amount of intense blue is more. This is the reason the beasts would look a little bit blue rather than looking reddish in color. If you find that your lines are not looking that street, you can go back and redraw it until you are satisfied. Moving onto the head of the Lamb for this, I'm using the same color which is invents blue mixed with crimson red. Trying this and we will try to draw it slow. And we'll try to keep a little space in between in order to show that reflection of the lamp. You can see how slow I'm working because I don't want to make any mistake at this point of time. In doing this, we will try to maintain the co sheep as well. If you find it hard to draw, then consider using a thin brush. It will help you out on this. Vf completed drawing the gap. It seemed to add a little design to it. For this, I'm making it a little wider in the middle and also adding a small cylinder shape to it. Now I'm adding a second layer of color at the base of the lamp because I want the color to look a little darker. For this, I'm using the same color which is in dense blue mixed it concentrate. Now let's work on the glass of the lamb. The color which I'm using as cadmium red mixed with crimson red and intense blue. Parabola played this at the upper portion of the lamp where there is shadow. Add some of the portion. I will also take the help of water to blend the layers well with the previous layer. Now we will apply this layer only add some of the portions. We will not do it other ways the previous layer would get disturb. You can see on the screen that I'm taking the help off water to mix this color tune with the previous layer. If I feel at some other portion that the color is less and we will again apply the color. At this point of time, I feel that the amount of color which I've applied as the first layer was quite less. So I'm adjusting it again. For the dark brown tone. I'm using cadmium red mixed with crimson red and intense blue. I'm also adding a little bit of cadmium yellow at the base of the lamp to increase its saturation. Let's quickly clean up brush and then we will drag this layer using a hairdryer. Our layer is totally dry. Now it's time to apply the next turn off color, but before that, we will clean up palate. Friends. Our palette is quite ready for the colors. Now I'm mixing cadmium red mixed with crimson red and applying onto the glass of the lamp. This stone will give the lamp a little warm effect. Once we're done with this, we will again dry it using a hairdryer. Now it's time to add a second layer to our lamb. For this, the color which I'm using is crimson red mixed with intense blue. But this time we will also add a little bit of burnt sienna to it, which is the brown, because we want the colors little darker than the previous one. So this is the reason we will also add a little bit of burnt sienna. You can see that the skull is quite dark and it is very much clues to the blackboard. This is not black. And please avoid using the black better. You use Bush in blue or intense blue mixed with the burnt sienna that will give you a very good black. You can see on the screen I'm using the same color tone to draw the handle of the lamb. We will use the scaler on all the areas where there is shadow. You can see how easily we applying the colors on all the areas which are in the shadow, the same color we will apply on the total frame of the lamp, which is in the shadow. You can see on the screen I'm using the same color in order to draw one side of the frame. Probably I'm doing this to show as well as give the lamp or 3D effect. We will not do this on all the areas. Otherwise, the landlord not looked at 3D, and it will look just like a silhouette painting, adding some small adjustments and details. So before we move on to the lamp. For the rods or the lamp, I'm using the cadmium red mixed with the already-existing Ms. Sheared off crimson red, and in dense blue. You can see on the screen that the rod has already been drawn. At this point of time, my camera just stopped and be white was not recorded. I hope you can draw this cross very easily using the machine off cadmium red mixed with crimson red and intense blue by the quantity of cadmium red is little more. Once you are done with this, then we will move on to our next mixture. For this, I'm using intense blue mixed with burnt sienna, will also add a little bit of crimson red. You can see that this glaze very much glues to the black. We will use this color to draw the tree branches. And all those tree trunks and branches which are in focus and which are close to us. While drawing the branches foo will try to draw them irregular in cheap because branches of the tree or not that street. So they tends to have our IV design. We will try to join the CMB. While painting the branches, you can keep one simple technique in mind that the branches, the dense to have a wider area close to the trunk. And as they will move away from the tree trunk, they becomes thinner and thinner. Let's add some branches at the bottom while drawing the branches, keep them irregular in shape and this will add beauty to the painting. If you want some more thinner lines, you can definitely take the help of linear brushes. You have completed painting the branches of the tree. Now it's time to add a little dark tone to the iron rods of the lamp. For this, I'm using the same mixture, which is burnt sienna mixed with intense blue. At this point of being a part of adding some more branches. But after that, I moved this heart because our overdoing this author destroys the painting. Let's dry the layer using a hairdryer. You have completed drawing the lyrics, it's time to add some snow. For this, we will be adding water onto the paper at first. And then using a brush, we will rub the surface of the people. At this point of time, you will find that the color has become loose, which you can easily pick it up using our tissue paper on a cotton gloves. Let's quickly draw some more snot using the same technique. First of all, we will wet the areas and then we will pick up the extra paint using a cotton cloth or tissue people. Once you master this technique, you can add two or three drops of water where you're adding only one troppo photo. And then use the same cotton cloth or the tissue people to pick the water at the same particular time. I've drawn a good number of snowballs. Now it's time to add some smaller snowballs for this, I'm using a white gel pen. Now, this champion is quite good. It can help you to add some very small Snowball Earth, which is not that possible to achieve using a brush. If you don't have a white gel pen, you can use any other white pen. You can use Posca marker as well. You can use a WIP. Now. Now all these options would work. Friends, we have completed drawing this beautiful winter lamb. The only thing which is left is to remove the masking tape. I hope you have enjoyed the painting. If you have any query, you can write in the comments section below.
