Transcripts

1. Introduction : Ah. Raise your hand if you want to paint this holiday season and feel autumn Christmas vale on your desk. Yes, Art has that power to let you feel the autumn of Paris, the Christmas of Switzerland, sitting right at your desk. Hey, I'm Richard Agarwal. I'm a watercolor artist, surface pattern designer, but I love to help artists to paint more with watercolor, especially to paint in their own style. Yes, I love when artists come forward and find their style, evolve and thrive. But this holiday event class is all about you feeling the vibes of your favorite festival, be it the Vali, be it Christmas or be it Halloween in autumn. So let me tell you how. In this class, we will first learn to create color palettes of divale autumn and Christmas, which set the mood. Colors are like everything and you can use those color palette to paint any feas and paintings exciting. Because colors are the main mode. Color is one of the main element. But that's not the end. After that, I will be teaching you to create two floral pattern, one simple and one a little advanced. With which you can paint anything like greeting cards, candles, bobs or whatever you think of reds, or you can make cute paintings out of it. Let's dive in and there's a lot to learn and explore in this class. This class is perfect for you, even if you are a beginner. Yes, all you need for this class is the desire to paint this holiday season and feel the joyful wife. Each and every lesson in this class will only bring joy to you. If you're curious about me and my classes more, say hi to me on Instagram at the rate travels through my canvas. You find more of my classes on skill share. Do follow me on skill share as well. But I'm always there on Instagram at the rate travel through my Canvas to chat with you and to help you more. As of now, let's dive in into this holiday season class and let's paint candles, baubles, greeting cards, more and more and more. See you there in the class. Bye bye. 2. SUPPLIES YOU NEED : Let's have a quick look at the supplies. For this class, you don't need any fancy supplies. I'm just using a normal paper. It is cellulose paper. You can use any paper. It is 100% cotton watercolor pad. You can use any paper. You can even use your sketchbook for this class. Paper is not a very important thing here. Other than that, you need any brush because they are going to make color palette, so for in further classes also, you just need any round brush, whichever you like. Here I'm using number six brush, which is silver black velvet brand. You can use a brush with a good tip. That is, must know things like a thing which I would highly recommend if you can, then find a brush with a good tip. Other than that, you can always use this filbrit brush. This is also good for the class later on when we'll be making patterns. This is Part number ten brush. Now the size of the paper really doesn't matter. The bigger and so the size of the brush. Bigger the paper is, the bigger should be the brush. Suppose if you're using this size which is between A four, you can use number six or number four brush. But if you want to use a bigger paper, bigger than A four, then use number ten or number 12 brush. You can also use something like this. It doesn't have a good tip, but yeah, this will also give you good patterns for the palette, you can use even the square brush. So here we go with the brushes. Next come your colors. I'll keep telling you the colors which you'll be using for different palettes like autumn palette, Christmas palette, and the valley palette. I'll keep telling you about the colors. Get your basic watercolors, whatever you have, and we will be mixing a lot of colors. Make sure that you have some shades of yellow, yellow ochre, burn Siana, sap green, CPR and for the Christmas ones, we'll be doing red and greens and browns and for divale again, red, green, blue and yellow. It is good to have some shades of red, S shades of yellow, blue, green, and some shades of brown, one or two, it will be good. Other than that, just get whatever you have. I never limit my classes or my students for the palette. And then definitely you need a clean palette. That is a must to go and always always clean your palette once you are done with one thing, like one artwork. It gives a very fresh look. Other than that, you need two water cans and any tissue, paper, or kitchen towel or anything. I hope we are clear and we're good to go. Let's die in into our classes. 3. LET'S MAKE AUTUMN COLOR PALETTE: So let's make an autumn palette why I'm telling you, teaching you to make a palette because I love to empower people. Once you know how to make these palettes, you can transfer them on anything. That's the aim of this class, you can transfer them on candles, you can transfer them on baubles, you can transfer these patterns on pumpkins, eggs, anywhere. Or on your greeting cards, or whatever. But to give the autumn feel like it's beautiful autumn here and take that feel, it is important to know what are the colors we use in autumn. We see in autumn and how to replicate. So let's start. The possibilities are endless, but let's start. I'm first putting some water in my loading my brush, just washing my brush and taking some water in it. I'll be using four basic colors. The first basic color is born Siana Let's take it. Let's mix them. Mix my bonsiana I'm taking a little color and mixing it. Just take a little color and mix it. This is my first color that is burnt Siana. I'm taking it directly from the tube, so no mixing. Then the second base color which I'm taking is yellow ochre. This also I'm taking directly from the tube, no mixing, but I would always suggest you to mix your color in the palettes first and then put them on the paper. This is a huge, huge mistake, the bigner artists do. Even I did that. Always mix your colors in the palette and then put it on the paper and use your artwork. The third color is sam green. Okay. Here is a Sab green. This is a beautiful color and you get it all the time every company make this. The last one which I'm using is a darker brown. This is sepia. Okay. Here we go. These are four basic colors to make you remember, I'm writing it here. This is my first one is Bonsiana. Second one is yellow ochre, then sav green. And CPM. Yes, it is good if you have these four basic colors in your palette, then making this palette will be easy. One more I would say, this is not a color of autumn, but it is good to have this red color. Let me show you how it is. Like the normal Indian red or vermilion hue. This is good to have. But this is not an autumn color. Okay. Now, let's start with our first mixing. In my first mixing, I will take my yellow red. I'll take red, and I'm taking a little bit of yellow ochre. Okay. This is my first mix of autumn colors. This is the orangish color. But I'll give it yellow Ochre YO, Sab green is going to be SG. I hope that's clear and CP going to be S. Let's name them and Boy Can is going to be BS. I hope we are clear till here. This is a mix of yellow ochre plus red. This is almost equal equal if you see. If you ask that how much color should I take? When you mix equal amount of red and yellow occur, you will get this color. Now what I'm doing, I'm taking more of red. In the same mixture, I am taking more of red. Now this will give me a darker orange color. This is also a beautiful autumn color. This is just yellow occur and red equal quantity. In this, I mix yellow occur plus I increase the quantity of red. Now, let's mix our crimson red and Bnciana. This is the Bnciana. If you remember, I used it. I'm taking my crimson red here and I am mixing my burn Siana. I need to take a little more burned Siana because that was not the way I wanted. Let's see. This is good. Let's see if I add a little more burned Siana to it. What happens? It will give you a more automi This is also lovely. You can choose any, mix and see which one you like more. This is burn Siana plus crimson red, burn Siana in more quantity plus crimson red. We got 48 beautiful autumn colors. This is going to be my shades of yellow or red, you can say. This is yellow ochre, you can add yellow ocher and all these shades when you add leaf in greeting cards in the shade of yellow and red. Now let's mix some shades of yellow and green. Definitely sap green as we had seen. Sap green is one of the shade. The autumn greens, if I will say, I would love to mix a little bit of burnt siana I think I'll add more green to it. This one I like. This is another I'd say I would add a little more green to it. I want to make it a greenish. A lot of green and a little bit of burns Siana will give me this color. A lot of green and a little bit of burns Siana give you this color. Now I'm adding a lot of green. To this. Wash your brush before you put it into the another color. I am now adding Pipia. This is, again, one of my favorite autumn greens. This will give you the green. Now let's mix green and yellow occur. This will be a little lighter version of green, but this is also my favorite, one of the favorite ones. I'm not telling you the ratio here because I would like you to use your creative freedom hair. Observe an autumn leaf or if you don't have an autumn around you, just watch some pictures online and see what proportion you are liking. I don't want you to be a puppet of half of green, mix half of yellow, no, just watch and think what you're liking. I'm really liking these green. If I like, Okay, I need to add a little more green to it, feel free to add a little more green to it. This using this base palette will give you only the autumn colors. Don't worry, don't fear, like, Oh, what will happen if I don't I this will not come or anything like that? No. Just try using the base colors, I will give you the beautiful autumn palette. As you can see, these are the greens and I'm just loving it. Now, let's make some browns. For the browns, definitely, Burnsiana are the two base colors. But let's see what happens when I mix Bnciana and Sepia together. I love this one as well. I'm mixing Burnsiana Now you have to use your own judgment where to stop, but I usually mix them equally, give me a color in between of the both Bnciana and sepia, a brown, which you can see. This is Sepia. This is Benciana. And this brown which we got is in the middle of the both. I just love it. I just love it. One more experiment we are going to do. We're going to make yellow ocher in this color. I love this brown as well. I'm taking a lot of yellow ocher and a little bit of boniana sepia. This is a darker yellow, which you get, so let me we mix burn Siana and sepia. This is normal burnsiana directly from the palate. This is sepia. This is yellow ochre plus sepia. I'm just mixing these two colors with the yellow ochre. Now let's take a yellow ochre. I'm going to mix a little bit of sepia. No sepia. I'm sorry. I'm mixing burn siana this yellow ochre and burn siana. Okay. This color is also a beautiful color and it will also go in your reds if you want. This is yellow ochre plus burn Sienna. Although this completes the whole palette. But yeah, we can experiment a little bit more if you are looking forward for a darker shade of red. For that, I'll take crimson red. This is my crimson red. Always take a clean palette. This is a crimson red, that's why I'm mixing it here. I'm going to mix a little bit of CP in it. This is crimson red, plus sepia. I think I'll add a little more crimson red to it. But this is a gorgeous color. I love this color for my lipstick shades. This is crimson red, plus sepia. This is a lovely autumn color. Now, let's take crimson red and yellow ochre. Here is my yellow ochre already. I'm taking my crimson red and I'm mixing a little bit of yellow ochre. Okay. Let's see. It's almost similar to the orange, which we made, but a little different. I would not say I use it much in my color palette, but yeah, it is good. It is good. If you want, we can do one more, we can mix crimson red. Wash your color if you want and I'm going to mix burnt Siana to it. Okay. We have already done it. Yes, crimson red, plus bunsiana We haven't done burniana. We haven't done Sepia Sepia crimson red, plus sepia and crimson red, plus yellow. Occur. These two shades to try them as well. I love this one, but crimson red plus sepia. This is one of my favorite and this is our whole autumn palette. It's coming out so beautiful wherever you put it, in any pattern, it is going to give you such a good feel. Do make it and let's move on to our next class in which we will be making a Christmas palette. See you there. 4. LET'S MAKE CHRISTMAS COLOR PALETTE: Okay, now let's jump to our next palette which is Christmas palette, and you will see beautiful beautiful colors like Christmas colors here. Again, we'll be making a pattern, but first let's color palette. A few tips always take a clean palette, take away wash your old palette or take on another palette, but use a clean palette whenever you are making a new colors and also a clean water jar and a clean brush. Clean water, clean palette. These are two basic requirements of this class in this class, I'm using few shades of green, red, blue, and brown. I'm also using a new color. It's not a watercolor, it's squash. Gouache is a color which is in between of watercolor and acrylics. So if you thin it, add more water, it behaves like watercolor and if you think it, use it as it is, then it behaves like acrylic. You can just order white guash from any company. This is brusco from India. But yeah, if you don't have it, that's okay. But if you can just get a white guash for Christmas colors, that'll be good. Okay. I'm using the blue which I'm using here is Persian blue and the green which I'm using is a different green ardian hue. It's a rdiant hue of green, not the usual sap green. The red is same, the red, like the Indian red or the Woman, orangish red, I would say. Always take your colors in a clean palette. This is my green, this is my blue and the reds. This is not my usual palette. I don't paint with the Christmas colors, but my usual painting, But yeah, I love to create something in the Christmas mood. I would say that Christmas, these colors are just the mood, they take you to anywhere to the Christmasy land. I write sitting at your desk. The first color here is Portianblue. I would say I'm using a mid tone of Portianblue. This doesn't feel like Portianblue so. Let me go back and check my colours. And, um. I have ultramarine blue, I have cobalt blue, and it is my Persian blue, I hardly use it. That's why it's hiding hide. Now this is again a cobalt. Here we got it. This is my Potian blue. Let me take it a little bit here because I'm really not convinced with the shade that this is a Potian blue. Yes, we are taking a portian blue color hair. Then we'll take a wooden green. I'll write the names for you. Don't worry. This is very Christmasy sweaters or Christmas tree kind of a color you see on Christmas cards, of course, the red, that is the color of Christmas. All the reindeers and everything flows to my mind, white, or if you don't have white, just leave it and or you can use also a very light shade of pines gray. That will also serve as a white. If you don't have white, don't stop yourself. Yeah, that's it. More red and sepia. You're going to use these colors as our Christmas palettes. Let me name them for you. This is Portianblue. We'll call it PB. This is dan Am I spelling is a. Gan green. We'll be calling it V G. This is our normal red. Indian red, this you can use as a pines gray or white. Pines gray very light shade of gray, and this is again Sepia. We'll be using S. All set. Now, let's create some Shades of red. For the red, I would like to take red and a little bit of crimson red, I'll mix in it. I just love this one. Red and crimson red, this will give you one red. In the same red, just try and mix burn Siana. In the same mixture and you'll get a lovely Christmas red. Now what I'm doing, I'm taking my red and I'm mixing burned tumber burn siana, whatever you call it. Red and burned Siana. This will give a little brownish touch instead of just using red, you can mix crimson red and burn Sianas to it. And let's try making a little sepia as well. No, I don't like it that much, we'll keep it to red and burnt umber or bonsiana whatever you call it. Let's try I'm using more Bonsiana this time. Okay, let's increase a little bit of red in it. Because Christmas is all about red, so we'll be keeping more red. Then burns color the brown shades. In Christmas, the red and green will be more. While in autumn, the earth colors are more, This is red plus crimson red, this is red, plus crimson red, plus burn sienna. This was red. Plus burnt umber and now we increase red plus burned Siana burn Siana burnt umber. I'm using it interchangeably. As you can see, there's more of red. Palette, it is more of red. While when you're making the autumn palette, it will be more of early colors. Now let's go to our greens. For the green, I'll just take this color virgin green. I'm going to put burnt Siana again to it. Now see. This is actually Christmas tree color which you get by mixing burnt umber burnt Siana same color with the rdt green. Now what you do, you add odian green. Instead of sag green, we are using this dit green and then I'll make my CPA. CPA is like a dark brown color. See. Now this is second amazing Christmas color. I just love it. Now, let's add a little more wooden green to it. Let's see. This was an amazing amazing amazing green for the Christmas. This is more towards brown and this is more towards green because it has more Pi and it has more green. Now one very simple, if you want to add it, but that is a personal choice. I'm taking white. And wooden green. This is just white and wooden green. If you want to add it to your palette, it's okay and if you don't have white, that's also okay. But we have Four very yummy colors. This is d in green, plus B sienna. This is od in green, plus sepia. This is more of sepia and this is more of od in green. Plus sepia and this is d green plus white. We have our reds and we have our greens. Now let's move to our brown. For the brown, I'm taking my sepia. And I am adding my yellow ochre. Here I'm adding a little bit of yellow ochre. Try this if you haven't tried this color, a little bit of sepia and yellow ochre. It's a very interesting color. See. This is the stems. I remember the days when I used to paint landscape, I still paint but very less and for personal commission work and all. But this color is a very beautiful color of stems and all. Now, I'm going to mix all the three shades the colors. I'm taking my sepia. I'm taking my wont umber and I'm taking my yellow ochre, let's see. This color, you can vary the proportion of all the three colors and you can make three different colors in which one Sepia is more or B Siana is more, but I like it a little towards a brownish one, I'll keep Sepia the maximum. In this Sepia is maximum and a little bit yellow ochre and burnt Siana. Okay. I hope you can see it. I'll write the palette for you. Don't worry the colors. In this now, I'm taking CPA. There you go. The CPA, a very interesting color I'm adding in it. That is crimson red, okay? You'll feel but make it more towards CiPi. Make it more towards brown brown is more and crimson red is less and then tried. It's a very very juicy Christmas color. Whenever you want to add the brown, believe me, you will just love it. I'm writing it here, Cp plus crimson red. You will just love it more towards the sepia. This is Bonsiana plus yellow ochre, plus sepia. More towards Sepia and this is Sepia plus yellow ochre, simple, more towards CiPia. We are just making a different different shades of brown because definitely the Christmas has a lot of brown element in it, one more brown, which is my favorite is mixing crimson red, not crimson red. I would say is mixing my red Okay. And my greens. This is definitely a dull color, but I love to add it somewhere in my Christmas card. If you want to learn dull colors, what are dull colors? What are fresh colors? I would like to invite you to my other classes, or I'll try to make some class. But as of now, just remember that mixing two complimentary colors will give you a dull color. We mixing red and green. I got this dull brown, but somehow I just love it. Red plus white and green. These are the browns. Isn't they lovely? Yeah, they are. With my portion blue, I would say, just add white to it or you can just play with it. By adding water and you will love it. This where you want to add a snow, this is a very good snow color. And if you add more, this will become a different different different tones. This is more white. This is more color, more water or if you want, you can add a little pines gray with to your portion blue, add a little gray or a little white quash. To the portion blue. This is to add those sparkly stars or snowy colors. But they're very good. If you are making flower, you can make leave with it or you can just sprinkle, you can make anything with this, but it's lovely or if you want to add white, to the Persian blue, it will be lovely as well. These are just Persian blue, plus gray, plus white. This is Persian blue, plus more water, Persian blue, I would say mid tone. Okay. This is a Christmas palette. I used Persian blue to just give you a revision Persian blue, odian green, red, white or gray, and CPA as my base colors. These are all the reds which you get in Christmas. This I have made by mixing crimson red, Bsiana to different quantities, take it more, keep your reds more because Christmas is all about red colors. When you're making greens, keep your green more and just add a little bit of Bnciana CPA and white and make your different shades of white for your greens, not greens, for your browns, CPA is your main color. You're adding yellow ocher. These two are really, really good to try. Just try them and you will love them. This one is my favorite CPA plus crimson red. Let me know in the comment section. Did you have ever tried this? This is Portianblue. It's amazing. It's amazing. S in the next class and have fun. Do you do share your work in the assignment section? I'm so eager to see your palette. 5. LET'S MAKE DIWALI COLOR PALETTE: Let's create the vali colors in this class. I'm an Indian, and we love celebrating Devali is full of colors, festive, lights and everything. So how can I forget my Indian friends and how I don't tell or create the colors of D vali. So here I am. And in this, again, the two most important things clean palette and clean water and a new paper. And let's get excited to make the vali colors. So as I see this color palette, I would say so rich in our culture, in our food. The colors are always taken from this yellow ocher is a food of spice called Haldi. This is, again, a very beautiful color of greens, which you see in all our Indian arts. We will also learn the color how we make our oli it's an auspicious Tilak. Which you put in all our ceremonies and jamon color. The fruit in India, the blueberries are not the heat ones, but the jamon, we'll be creating all the colors and you can use it to make the valley cards or paint your candles for the valley or you can make rangolis with it or mandalas or anything. I am super excited. I hope this disk is visible to you, let's get into the Wali mood. These are very good colors if you want to create some Mud las for yourself, even if you are not in Indian. The colors which I am the base colors which I'm using here is definitely the first one is Indian red. So very, very gorgeous red. You love it. Then in yellow, we are using two yellow. One is Indian yellow. This takes me back to the mango season the lovely summer season of India, I miss this color. Again, the yellow ochre, and here I will be using olive green. It is almost similar to sap green, a little darker version. If you don't have olive green, you can even use the sap green and mix a little brown in that, that it is, nothing else. This is sap green. So Indian red, one more color, the same color which we used the Christmas palette, the Persian blue. This is also beautiful color which resembles the various shades of India. This is Indian red. This is Indian yellow, yellow ochre. This is olive green. If you don't have olive green, mix your sub green with a little bit of burnt umber or sepia, busianblue B, we'll call it BB or G and IR. Indian yellow and yellow. Now let's start mixing red. For the red, this is my favorite one. For the red, not the crimson red. I'll be using the Indian red. And wash your brush before you put your brush in the yellow, and I'll be using Indian yellow. This is beautiful, beautiful and very bright. Orange you will get, you'll love it. You will love it. Take my words, you will love it. The second color, which I will making is a roly color. That is Indian red, crimson red, and a little bit of burnt umber. A little bit. I think I need to a little more crimson red. Red and a little bit of burn tumber a little bit more of burn tumber I will say. I have taken burnter two times on the tip of my brush and then I got it see how juicy and yummy. This is a color of our roll. Red, crimson red, and burn tumer Burn tumber I will say a little more than both the reds. Also, I would like to add the same color which we have added in many palettes, the crimson red plus burnt umber. I would say burnt umber, just go and buy it. But in this, it's a great color to use. But in this crimson red will be more, definitely. Now for the last color of red, we'll add Sepia in it. But you can also add crimson red and sepia, just crimson red and sepia. This is a beautiful Indian color. You will see these colors a lot in our Langa during our weddings. Before I forgot crimson red, plus sepia, crimson red, plus boned amber. This is a color of role. This is Indian red plus crimson red, plus burnt umber. This is just red and yellow. Both the Indian versions. This is a red shade. Isn't it looking beautiful and yummy? Yeah, they are. They are beautiful. T. Although my color palette don't include the Indian palettes, but I just love them. This is portianblue. Now I'm making shades of blue and green. I'll take Portianblue and I'm adding CPA to it. Sepia is a darker shade of brown. Yes, this is a little indigo feel color. The ink color, you can say Persian blue and sepia and one more color you will love is Persian blue and gray. That is that we give you real vibes of indigo color, Persian blue, and this is gray. Both of them mix, but make sure when you're mixing that they don't mix. Persian blue plus gray, you can also lighten this one and use it for a lighter one, add more water to Portian blue and the gray and the other one, which I would love to tell you is olive green. In the olive green, I would little bit add a pines gray this will give a darker green, but it's so beautiful. In olive green, I'm adding pines gray. I just love this color. You can add more gray if you want a darker shade, that will also fall into your Indian palette. These are some green and blue. You can definitely lighten it and use this color. Also. This is Persian blue, plus sepia. This is Persian blue, plus Persian blue gray plus water. This is olive green. Plus gray, and this is olive green, plus gray, plus what. What I will do, I'll just take the screenshots of all these things and I'll put them in the assignment section so you can refer them. This is a red. These are our greens. Now you can just take a note of it while you're watching the class. Now a little browns we will be making Okay. For the browns, definitely, I'll take burnt umber and sepia and yellow ocher. These are the shades by far, you must have realized that we used to make browns. I'm taking mostly burned tumber in that I have added a little red. Just look at this color. This is so yummy and it falls under the Indian palette. Now in the same color like Indian red, I'll add just a little yellow ocher. I think I need to add a little more. A little red to it. Red, yellow ochre and bonsiana. This also falls a little yellowish orange, but the oranges which we get in India. As of this color, also, you can take the same color which we take in autumn palette, Bonsiana plus yellow ochre, almost in the equal quantity. This also falls in Indian palette. The lighter tone of this. Indian colors are really bright colors. If you want to add more yellow ochre. All of the colors in India are really, really bright. If you see our weddings and our festival dresses, you will just see the brightness. Just make your color bright. Even they are browns, but they are very bright. Yellow ocher more and Boniana more. I've taken Indian red and I have mixed them with the yellows and Bonsianas. Hand burnt umber. Now to my favorite color. The blue color. For that, I'm the jamon color. This is a bonus color, I would say for you. For this, I'm taking Portian blue and in that, I will just add crimson red. We have not mostly. You can see this is a beautiful color. But what I will do, I'll add a little pines gray as well. In this. Already, I've got a beautiful color. But if I add a little pines gray, just a little to crimson red and Persian blue, I caught this amazing Jamin color. You can add more. You can add more. You'll get a darker tone of it. We can even add white to it or just add more water to it. That color also you will love or just try adding more crimson red to this. You will also love that color. This is also an amazing color to add to your palette. These three are the surprise colors, the pop colors which will just alleviate your whole palette. This is more of crimson red plus Persian blue. This is crimson red, plus portion, blue, you can use gray or you can even use sepia. Any darker color. I just add a little increase the gray and I'll add more water, and this is crimson red, Persian blue. You'll just love these colors, anything you create a card or a rngoli or candle with the patterns which we are going to create, I'll definitely tell you the patterns, but use these colors for whatever mood you want Devali mood, use DevaliPaltte, Christmas mood, use Christmas palette and Autumn mood, use autumn palette. I'm so excited. Let's create our artwork in the upcoming classes. 6. WHERE YOU CAN PAINT THESE PATTERNS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON: Have created so far these three palettes, autumn palette, Christmas palette, and the valley palette. Let me tell you the possibilities of these palette. You know, you can paint any pattern with these palettes and you will get into that mood. Like suppose it's Halloween and it's autumn and you want to paint a candle. So I'm going to tell after this three palette, we're also going to make a pattern. Okay? So this is a pattern like easy pattern. You can make it dense, you can make it very, very dense or um you can make it a lose one. This is one pattern. First of all, you can make it in any of the three palettes. If it is the vale which you want to celebrate and get into the mood, pink paint this pattern in the valley pattern. If you want to make at Christmas, paint it in this Christmas palette. If you want to celebrate Halloween and autumn, then Thanksgiving, then paint it in this palette. You've got your six paintings with this palette. You can make it dense, loose, change it. I'm going to explain you further how to make this pattern in the further classes and then from the paper, you can transfer palette, this pattern on canvas like here. This is one of my students, she's just 8-years-old. She transfer it on candle. You can also transfer it on a bauble. You can also transfer it on egg on a pumpkin. You can transfer this pattern anywhere. Once you learn how to make the palette and once you learn how to a pattern on paper. Then you can transfer this on any things. I'll show you a few possibilities. Although you can think you can also paint it on a greeting card, or you can paint it on a Christmas wreath anywhere. But once you learn the pattern and once you learn how to make the palettes, you have, my God, the possibilities are endless. Let's dive into the next classes and how to make this pattern and let me show you some possibilities. I 7. BASIC STROKES FOR MAKING STEMS: Before making these patterns, we will be learning and practicing about brush strokes. You can use any two brush you need. One, you need a thin brush which is zero, one, which has basically a thin, good tip. And are there any bigger round brush like this is number four brush or a ten number brush to make your the leaves and cherries. You'll making the stems with a thin brush and the leaves and the cherries with a thicker brush. Or you can use any medium as well. You can use watercolors. Uh one of my student who is just 8-years-old, she painted this pattern on a candle and she used acrylic. You can use any brushes, any medium brushes and any medium for this class and or making the patterns. You can even use this double zero brush for making the stems. We're just going to practice. Take any of your color. Practice. Mix your color nicely, as you can see, I am making a very nice mix of my color. Then just take the color only on the tip of your brush. The color is I've taken the color only on the tip of my brush and now start making some lines. I just give it a free hand moment, I am not if you see I am not twisting my wrist. The moment is coming from the shoulder. The moment is this, first understand from where the moment is coming. The first thing is that your mix should be juicy. No mixing, not having a juicy mix will simply not give you the results. If you want to learn the basics, I have basic skill share classes in which I have teaching mixing, everything. Go just watch that class. But we need a juicy juicy mix. Now the second thing is after this juicy mix, can you see the consistency? It's very juicy. I'm just dipping the tip of my brush and I'm holding it at approximately 90 degree angle. Then you make the stems. When you see this dry line going on, then you can just take more color. Since I have put this is also not a watercolor brush. That's why this dry line is coming. If I put my brush full in the color, then these dry lines will these dry lines are also coming because my paper has some texture. Just put your brush on the tip and you start making these lines and you will notice that if you put more pressure, the line will be thick. Let me get closer and what I'm doing, I'm putting more pressure, my whole body is on the paper. I'm getting thick line. If I just use the tip of my brush, can you see? I'm not putting any much pressure using my shoulder movement, then I'm getting a very thin line. Just practice this. Take your hand in different directions like this, make this. Once you have done, then you can practice making this. Wherever I'm putting pressure, I'll get a thick point. Practice, do a lot of pages to pages till you is just plain practice till you're able to make these stems. Yeah. Because this is the stems we will be using in that pattern. You have to make your stems like this. First, I practice this and see how I'm holding my brush. I'm holding my brush at a 90 degree angle, approximately 9010 degree angle and then I am just not putting any pressure much and not moving my wrist. I'm using my shoulder to hand move. These are just a few things which you have to keep in mind while making these steps if you use a zero number, or a one number rush, it will come. Just practice. If you are not getting it in one go, just practice it again and you will start getting it. I have been doing it since. So don't. You cannot compare an apple with an orange. I'll take time. But yeah, whatever it is, just practice and till you feel that, this is good enough, then wait. If you can see this student like the eight year one, he stems are little thick, but still okay. So but give your best. Whatever that's what I expect from you is to not give up and don't hurry. Practice at least two to three pages and then you can move to the next class in which I am naking, we'll be learning to make the strokes for these leaves and cherries. This is a free hand, creating pattern. I'm not sketching or drawing, so this is a little different and that's how you paint on candles, baubles, and eggs. You don't sketch. I don't sketch. That's my thing you can definitely sketch if you want. But this is a los style. Okay. I hope I have explained everything and to give you a revision, just mix your color, a good mix, put the color on your brush on the tip, hold your brush at 90 degree angle and don't use this wrist movement. I have a very nice sketching class also in which I am explaining how to make lines. That class will also help you in making this moment if you're feeling it difficult. It's on skill share itself, so go check that class. That's it. Then you have to just fun. 8. BASIC STROKES TO MAKE LEAVES : This class, you will be practicing how to make the leaves and the cherries in free hand way. For this, what is the most important thing is your brush? Which brush you are choosing According to that, you will get your leave. If you are choosing, I'll just first explain you the different brushes which are different brushes and the different strokes they will create. Again, I'm making a juicy mix, and this is a round brush, four number, and this is just not a very, very good tip. I didn't get a very good tip, but a normal tip in this brush. The moment which I get will be this, okay? I don't have a very good tip at the end of my leaf. And if I use this brush, this is a very good tip. It is silver black velvet, 3,000 S series, number six and C. Then I'll get out good tip. Good tip at my end and here and there as well. If I use this, this has no tip at all. This is number ten brush, and this doesn't make a very good tip. You can see I'll get this like this. If I use my fill brd brush, this is quite a big one. But if you use a smaller one as well, if I use it from the side, I'll get something like this and I get something like this, since it's a big brush. This leaf stroke will largely depend on the brush. Choose your brush wisely and be happy with that. Anything seriously looks good, if you choose any. I don't want tips on my leaves and I'm not going to use that typical pushing and pulling movement for this pattern. If you want to love and make your leaves in pushing and pulling pattern, then I have a class on basic floral patterns or strokes. I have explained everything. In that the classes of Skals you can check the class basic floral shapes and how to make basic push and pulleys. It's an amazing class to learn the basics of flowers and we are making a flower bouquet, I think in the end. It's an amazing class. Again, I'm making a juicy mix. You can choose and I'm choosing my phone number brush and what you have to do. Just fill your brush full dip even if you're doing with the acrylics. Then the main thing here is to make a good mix. If you're doing with acrylics, you don't need much water, mix it and load your brush fully like this. All the hair. Can you see in the color? That is the most important thing. You can sweep out the extra color. If you're using watercolor, if you're not using watercolor, just load that. Full stroking experiment one time sweep, one time, don't take out the extra water. Experiment. This time, I have just swept out all the water and see how I'm getting. Now let me load it full. And this is a more watery thing. But this is also nice. What do you have to do take it and glide it on your paper. If you want you can do like this, just take it and glide it on your paper. Just take it and glide it. Again, Remember, this thing is straight. I'm using my shoulder hand movement. Just take it and glide it on your paper. Take it and glide it on your paper. That's it. This is a simple stroke which we are going to use for the leaves. Just load my brush. Two important things, load your brush fully, make a juicy mix, take it and glide it in different directions. Suppose this is my stem so here in different directions, try now my hand can you see how my hand is? My brush is approximately at 45 degree angles. My hand is twisted. Twist and turn your hand and have fun and just relax. The more free you are, the better you will get this stroke. Now for the cherries, again, load your brush. I'm using the same one. We're not going to draw a circle. You're not going to draw circle and paint color in it. No. What I'm going to tell you are fun technique. We're just going to put our brush on the paper. And rotate it and it will give you a cherry. Just try it. This will be a more natural one. Rather than this, you can definitely make a circle and color it. You can also make a circle for the leaves and color it. But I personally like to use brush stroke techniques. In which you just rotate your brush. Try it. If you cannot do it, try it again. Ultimately, your backup is always to make a circle. You have to or you can just just put give a blotch. Try. Just have fun. So take it and it. Take it and just do it. Take it and just do it like this. Just fill your whole paper, wet your brush, dip your brush in water. It will lighten the toes. I have explained tonal values and everything in the basics of watercolor class. Don't miss out that. That will be an amazing amazing addition if you have not done it yet. Even I have class on how to add the monochroms paint with monochroms and how to give depth. That is again an amazing glass. Try doing this. I'm all about teaching basics. I love to empower you guys so that you can paint your own versions. But this is all about having fun. If you want to make bigger, just try and rotate it one more time. If you're really painting on a big paper, This is quite a fun, try it. Okay. Then we may add a little, the darker tone, the dark thick mix on one side of our cherries. The thick mix on one side of a cherries. I hope I am clear. You have things to remember is make a juicy mix, take a brush, wildly because you will get your product, you will get your leaves and your cherries as per your brush and just be free. It's just a simple hand movement. We are not giving this typical pushing and pulling one. We're not making this leave, we're just making it leaves in one stroke. For this pattern, if you want, you can make this as well. But if you want to paint exactly how I have done this, then just be free and have fun. I'm going to tell you how the colors colors make all the difference in the patterns and make it beautiful even with a very free brush strokes. Practice the cherries and leave fill pages and pages and pages and pages and post your work in the assignment section. I'm looking forward to see it. 9. PREP FOR MAKING PATTERN-1: This class we'll be learning how to make this pattern finally. You can make your pattern your own way. There is no good, no bad. You just I will be teaching you how to make this one bunch and then you have to repeat it the way you want. This is a little loose, I have given a lot of space in between. This is a little thicker, denser, I would say, and this is a lot denser, big brush strokes. I'm so excited to see your version. I really want you to close your eyes and just do whatever way you want and adore it, accept it. You can make any. Let's see first what we require. So we require two brushes, one thin brush, zero, one, and one thick brush, which we used to make the stems. Remember to practice Leaves. Use the same brushes and after the brushes comes the colors. I would suggest first choose your palette which palette you're going to choose? Are you going to choose an autumn palette or you want to paint in the vale or Christmas mood, first choose your palette, use one palette at a time. Okay. And you can definitely paint these patterns in the same way I'm painting it on paper. You can replicate it on candles, bobbles, pumpkins, eggs, greeting cards. You can make wts, lots of possibilities are there. I will be discussing it in later classes. First for that first, we are going to paint it on paper. What we are going to do, I am using the autumn palette for this. First choose your stem color. I'm going to use CIPA and just keep marking those colors that the CPA is going to be my color for my stems, then choose one color, three colors from this yellowish tones, one lightest, one medium, and one darkest. I'll be using yellow like I have used in this yellow, orange, and a darker one, I'll be using maybe crimson red and Bnciana I'll mix that. Choose any three colors from your palette for the leaves, and one color from your reddish tone, from your red tone for the cherries. First decide your colors, mix your colors. And then we're going to start our pattern. My brushes are ready, and let's mix our colors. This is always always, I would say that premix your colors. This is my burnt Siana for the stems. This is my burn Siana for the stems for my leave, I'll be using yellow ochre, so that will go directly. But still, I'll mix and I'm going to make a juicy mix of it. This is my second one. First one, I would say. The second one, let's mix our second color. So, let's make a orange. I am going to use my red. And yellow ochre. This is my second color. You can choose any of your three colors. I have told you how to make your whole palette and third will be my darkest color. I want to use crimson red. I really wanted to darker one, so I'll be using crimson red and Bonsiana not Bonsiana sepia. These are my three colors. I just talked like my daughter. The accent. And she did naughty things. These are my three colors. This will be for the stems. This is for the leaves one, leaves two medium tone, and for the leaves, third, the darkest tone, and for the cherries, I'll just use red or crimson red. I'll decide later on. That's the prep done for our pattern. 10. LET'S MAKE PATTERN-1: Now let's dive in into making the pattern. There is no right and wrong, but I still we can use this as a guideline if you feel like that. First, we are making some stems. Make them short, make them big or however you want. Just make them in criss cross. I like to make them in um a very, very random fashion. If you are a very, you love to make them in a more organized way, do that. Just make them so that leaves will come, leave some space for the leaves. That's the only thing. I would say to you. I'm done with my stems. Now I'm taking my yellow first color, which is yellow ochre, Now I will give it on my stems. Where is the end of the stem? There, I'll give my colors. Wherever I have made the end of this stems. At the end of each stem, I'll make one leaf as using the same method, the stroke method. As you can see. I'm just let it be free. You don't have to think, how is it coming? Just enjoy the process. Just play for good music and enjoy the process. Anything left? One stem here is left, so I'll make here. If you want to make here. This is done. Now, if you're painting for the candles or the bobbles, just wait. Once one layer is done, just wait it to dry. Even in the watercolors, I would say wait it to dry or otherwise, little bit colors bleed and that's okay for me. Let's see how it comes. The second color, I'm taking my second color. I would like to do it a little darker. Thicker, I would say, I'm making a more red and yellow. This is ready. Again, I'm using the same method of filling my brush full. Now what I will do, I'm giving my second pattern a little closer where I have made my first leaf. As you can see. I'm not making it an other branch, I'm just making it closer. Can you see? Yeah, it it is a little overlapping as well. A little overlapping. See. You can wait to let it dry completely or you can just do it instantly if you want those bleeds in watercolor. These bleeds will come only in the watercolor. I am making overlapping. 10% overlapping, I would say, not very much. You can do as much overlapping as you want, you can do it full like this, but leave some yellow so that you can see it. Don't do it over the full. Otherwise, you cannot see a yellow. Same brush. We're all done with a second one. Now I'm taking my third color, which is this, I'm mixing it a little more because I think I will need a little more color. Once you're done with this and it is dry, then you can just put it or third leaf, again, overlapping. O It is overlapping. You can just put it here and there, but make sure that some part of yellow and orange is visible. Can make it anywhere, touching them. It's already looking so beautiful, isn't it? Giving you the autumn feel, I'm sure. It will take take you to Paris, sitting at your desk or anywhere you can imagine and you want to be. That's the fun. Okay. Now we're done with this. It will be quite fast process once you learn the brasis. Now I'm taking again my thin brush and I'm making my stems for the cherries. Wherever I see these white spaces, I'm just making a few stems for the cherries. This is completely optional. If you don't have much space for cherries, leave them. Yeah, in this pattern, no, I did give in this. I did give in everyone, but yeah, I think this my student doesn't give it, so that's okay. Just make this simple one and two stems, leave some space to make cherries. Wherever you feel that you want to fill it up, just make some stems. Now I am taking my round brush and I want to give my cherries a nice crimson mix of crimson and red or a more crimson red. Remember we did that. Same way. Okay. Just rounding my brush. Be free. I like my art to be very loose, especially when I'm painting florals, that's my free space. My space brush is dancing and the things are just flowing. If you want, you can change the tone by just dipping the color in water. What I did, I just dip my loaded brush in water, just the tip in water and I changed the color. I have explained this very deeply in my monochrome painting class, how to give depth, and you can go and see that. But it's just a fun process to change the tones. Okay, so we are good to go with our pattern. It's looking beautiful. Now the final step is to what's the final step is to make some dots and you can see that more by the process called splattering. What I'm going to do can take any color, not any color like orangish among the autumn palette. You can take any color among the autumn palette. I'm liking this orangish color. I'll mix a little more yellow and red. I want it to be I'm mixing a little Bnciana cpa as well. This color has to be liquid, a lot of water swipe out the extra water or don't swipe out. That's also okay. Let me try. I'll give you an example. Then just What I'm doing, I'm using my thumb and my second finger, I think it's called whatever finger, the second finger, and I'm using my index finger to tap on my brush. Just try this. It's a very simple process. I have explained this process in detail as well in the seven basic techniques, Waterglass Color class, so I'm just holding my brush with my thumb and the second finger and tapping it. The thing is that your color should have a lot of water. Hold it from the top, do it or not do it. It is your choice, but I love it. Definitely, you cannot do it on candles, you can just do it on paper. If you are making Christmas wreath or greeting cards, or some holiday cards, this is just lovely. I hope you like this pattern and I'm excited to see your pattern on paper and also on what product you are going to make it on. 11. LET'S PREP FOR MAKING PATTERN-2 : We have made this beautiful simple pattern in autumn. In this class, I'm going to challenge you more or those who can make this easily. This is my request or you can say, this is my gift to you to challenge yourself and we'll be making one more pattern in this class. That is this flower pattern. This one was a leaf and a cherry pattern, and in this, we are going to add just the flowers, these flowers as well, and then it will be a little more complicated, I would say, a little more intricate pattern. Let's dive in for that. I will be first telling you how to make these flowers, and then you can easily, then I'll show you then how to weave them in pattern. I have done this pattern on the bobbles and the candles and they just look amazing. I will be teaching you how to do it with watercolors, but you can do it in acrylics as well. Okay. So this time, we will be painting it in Christmas colors. But first, let me tell you how to make these flowers. What are the strokes for the flowers. For the flowers, I am taking you can choose any two colors. I'm choosing this yellow and red color because I want it to be in the Christmas one. So you can choose golden. If you have, it looks amazing. To make golden in watercolors, I'm adding a little burnsiana in my yellow cha and it will give you a feel of golden. For the flowers, I will tell you how to make it with two brushes, one with your round brush and one with this filbred brush. This is actually a cheat brush for making these flowers. I will be using both the brushes to tell you the strokes of the flower. Okay. So first, mix a lighter tone of color, like a medium one. If you don't know what are tones and everything, I have a whole class on skill share in which I have explained in details about the tonal values, the lighter, the darker tones. This is a medium tone like this. If you want, you can make it darker as well. The more color you add, the darker color it will become. I'm loading my brush with the color as you can see, I'm loading my brush with the color. This is first I'm making with a round brush. I fully loaded and this time I'm going to use the side of my brush, as you can see how I have placed my hand, how I'm holding my brush and I'm going to use side of my brush, to make these flowers. Can you see this side of my brush I'm using? I'm holding it like this and I'm using it like this. One more time. This, if you want, you can just round it with the tip, two round it with the tip, three, round it with a shrimp or just leave it like this. I'm using the side of my brush for the flowers. I also have a detailed class on basic techniques. You can see over there. If you're using this filbred brush, then it is very easy. You just have to use one, two, three. You can also use like one, two, and it is done. One, two, and three. It is done if you want, you can just 01 more time. With the filbrid brush, I think it is a cheat brush. So you can see, I'm loading my brush fully with the color. Then I'm giving one stroke and two stroke. I want a little tip, one stroke, and two stroke. That's it. That's all we have to do. Then I'm taking my round brush. And I will make it a little darker tone. In the yellow ocher, this time, I'll add brown or sepia. This is a darker one and with that, we'll just fill it. Like this, give some dots here. If you have a very good paper, then you can also do it in wet and wet. If you're painting in bobbles or candles, then use acrylics and just make the strokes, the lines. Then take darker sepia, plain sepia and add a few more dots. This just adds the tone to the flower. If you want, you can just give few lines. Definitely this paper is not behaving the best, otherwise it would have spread fully. You can just 30 your Take a thirsty brush and just spread. But it I've shown you the technique. For this one, again, I'm going to take red and we can mix a little CP in it. This you can see it is darker. I'll just add it into the lower. Similarly, we'll take brown. Put few dots here. Our flowers are ready. Now we'll just add leaves here and there and we'll make a pattern out of it. Okay. I hope these flowers are clear. I've shown you how to make these flowers with a filbrid brush as well as a round brush. Supplies is never a limit. But definitely if you're using a filbrid brush, it will be a cheat. You have to just take your brush to revise one more time, one, two, and three. You have done one flower. The more relax, two, three. The more relaxed you will be better it will be with a round brush, you just have to do it from the side like this and then round. Like this and then round like this and I'm making three. You can even make it four. I can make it five. But in my pattern, I've made it half and half. As you can see, they are overlapping. I'm just making a half the three petals so that the other three comes a little over and it looks like both the flowers are overlap. You can even make a flower with five petals, a round brush or the fibrid brush. All you have to do is make a center. Then one, two, three, four and five, like this five star thing and then make one petal in each one, two, three, four, and five. Then just add a darker shade to the bottom. This is a very, very simple one and I'm telling you this so that you can also do it with acrylics. Same technique which I used with acrylics. Otherwise, there is a lot to learn with the free stroke, flowers and techniques and all. I teach them everything in my 12 month course making a line art. If you want to go deeper into knowledge, and learn how to paint in your style and everything, feel free to contact me on Instagram or mail me. But yeah, for this, I think if you just want to paint on bobbles and candles and make some Christmas greeting cards, this is good enough. This is good enough. I see you in the next class in which I will be painting, making the whole pattern for you. 12. LET'S MAKE PATTERN-2: Okay, so let's make a pattern. In this class, I have already taught you how to make the flowers and all the other strokes like leaves and cherries. We will be using the same strokes which we made in this one. The only difference in this is that I'm painting it in autumn, not in autumn color, but in Christmas colors. Feel free to use your flowers as you want. You can even use golden. If you have, it looks amazing. For the Christmas, the golden, red and green. That would be amazing, right? Or if we don't have golden, then you can use yellow ochre like I am using. Let's get started. Okay. To start, you definitely have to plan how will your pattern go, where you want your leaves, where you want your flowers. Either you can plan it with little circles or pencil. If you're painting on a surface like a candle or something, then I would suggest that plan one here, one up, one down, one up, one down or just random, but leave some space in between. Similarly, I would say that leave some space here on paper on greeting card for your flowers, for some gap, you know. Maybe if I'm painting one flower here, I'll be painting one hair, one hair, one hair, and one here and one here. As you can see. The same pattern I will be making. If you are painting it on candle, then similarly, if it is big candle, then on one surface, maybe one, two, and three can come. If it is a small candle, then only one flower will come and if it is a medium size, then one can come up, one can come down. Then you know how I'm alternating it one, one here, and then in the middle, then one, one, and then in the middle. Anything, but give some space to the viewer's eye. Okay. I'll start with my brown color CPR and I'll be making some stems and lines that we one flower will come here, then I know one will come here. I'm just making some directions. One here, one here. One bunch of flower here, one here, one here. This we'll see how it goes. So slit, paint some yellow one. I'm taking yellow ochre and a little of Ponsiana. I will keep adding wet and wet is watercolor for my second to. So this one, see how loose I am. I'm really painting very loose and I have mixed my yellow ochre and darkened, I would say hair only, which I can put because I love wet and wet. If you don't love wet and wet, you can just wait. If you're painting with acrylics or something, then you definitely have to wait. Till it dries, then only you have to add one more layer. One, two, three, and here goes my wet in wet and the second layer. Now again, one, this filrid brush is really like a cheat one types. Here we go. I'm also putting some in center, the toss. One more hair, one, two. You can make some leaves smaller, some leaves shorter, just to give some definition. The more loose you will be you feed, the better loose style flowers you will get. Okay. Now let's take red. I'm washing my brush, as you can see, and I'm taking my red color. If it is dried, then you can definitely overlap it as well. I would love to add a little crimson in my red because I love that color. I'm taking red and crimson. This is quite a darker one. Yeah, I like it. Okay. That's one, two, and three. He goes one, two, and three, and one, two, three. Maybe I can make four here. This made a little four hair. Definitely, I have to make a color which is darker than this, so I'm adding my again, red this CiPia and I have made it quite dark, but that's okay. Since my paper is good, that is the reason I am getting so much of working time. If your paper is not very good, you will not get that much of working time to have this wet and wet effects. Okay. It's all good. Just putting some dots here. We are good to go. Now I want my greens. I will be using my greens for the rest of the stems. I think a green and a little brown because that's too greeny for the stems. This is odian green. I think this will be fine. Yes, this is fine to me. To dry, add a little water. Not a worry, we can definitely do a leaf over there. Are you having the Christmas feel? This is just a similar way which we have done. Now I'll take my brush for the green ones. I would love to add a little Bonsiana in my green. Let's do this. We will be doing it the similar way a darker tone, lighter tone, overlapping one. If you feel that you need some branches. Since we have done it, so I'm not explaining each and every step of it because we have done it using the same method. Now, if you want to you can make it a little more dark by adding definitely more burned siano this. Wherever you add burn Siana Sepia, it becomes dark. I'm just some more. Yeah. Now it is good enough, the same overlapping thing. Now what I'm doing, I'm making a lighter version of it by dipping my brush in water and just swiping it off the edges and I'll get a very light thing. This is a lightest one. I'm giving a little lighter tone. If you have golden, you can add in the golden as well. I'm not adding in the golden, but I would love to add Persian blue. I'm adding a little portion blue. That will give a snowy effect. I'm adding a portion blue for my cherries. This is just again a very simple stroke, as you can see. These strokes are a universal stroke. You can use it with watercolors, acrylics, any medium gauche. I'm just again, I've put water and if you are using acrylic, then add white color. This is good enough. Since I've not used red, I would love to add some red cherries here and there. Because this red was mixed with crimson red, remember? I'm just adding a few cherries. Here and there it is just looking so amazing and so lovely. You can paint this pattern on anything. Look lovely on the cards as well. If you want to add a little snow, what do you have to do all stick this in your brush and just sprinkle a little bit here and there. Okay. This will just give you a snowy effect. One more thing. If you want to darken your centers, you can directly take your burn sepia and add a few dots in your flowers at the center of your flowers. The darkest tone. I have a whole class. You can just go and check it out on skill share, you'll love that if you're confused about the tones. Yeah. See, it is just just enhanced. It's just enhanced the flowers. And here, since I have knowledge of colors, I want to take that liberty and add a little bright yellow hair. I think we are allowed. Yeah. That's it. If you would love to add golden, just go and add golden. But I'm loving this pattern. This is just giving me so Christmasy feels. I'll look definitely so beautiful if I painted them on candles, bobbles, or cards, or on anything, or make a breath out of it. I'm so excited to see where you take this pattern too and pour like where you want to paint this pattern. I'm really excited to look forward to it or are you just painting it on a greeting card or something? But yeah, do paint it, have fun, be loose. I use brushstroke methods if you want it loose. If you have any questions, you're free to ask me, and I'll see you again in the next class. Have fun. Enjoy. Bye bye. 13.
