Mini Class: Easy Watercolor Rain & Rainbow Landscape

1. Class Introduction: Hello, everyone. I am Chan Chibi an artist from Vietnam and welcome to my new mini glass. In this glass, you will paint this lovely vending scene together. It is a quick and fun project that you can complete in under 30 minutes. Excluding joint. This buy is simplicitty. You will pick up valuable techniques along the way. Let's get started and don't forget to upload your artwork in the project gallery session. 2. Tools and Materials: This very first lesson, let's talk about all the tons and materials you may need to use in this glass. For the color, I use wooden set. I feel what color from nice brand onto it myself. For this glass, you only use basic color, so you can use whatever brands or whatever color set you already have for Watercolor paper, I use home cold bras, Water color paper. At this red. It is not important about cold breast or hot breast or bran, but make sure it is 100% cotton watercolor paper, and it is good enough because we will use muskin fluid on top of it and I know a lot of good watercolor paper brands it got tear off after using muskin fluid. So make sure the surface is it is good enough. I will use three brushes, one more brush to paint the background. That is number four brush to paint the rainbow, and that is number zero brush to paint the details of the raindrop and for skin float, I use this is the brand from China. It is not very good brand, and I've been using the tip of this mottle to apply the kin flout use Muskin float in other form in a jar, you need something to apply Muskin float, maybe ruling pen or brush, and we need missing plaque and a jar of butter and that's all about the tunes and materials. We will start to paint in the next lesson. 3. Paint the Background: Start painting process by applying some masking float. This is the reference photo, but we don't have to match exactly the shapes and the positions of the rain drop here. Just make sure from this photo, you can see there's some raindrop in the circle and some grab it is long line, let's get started. I think I will start with some long line first. Just mention again, you don't have to make anything perfect. We don't have to copy the copy this photo exactly. But make sure I think there's many long lines over there and for this area, only some small dot. I forgot to mention we need some masking to tip down the paper. Make sure the range up in random position. If you apply using a brush, you can splash the skin fluid to make sure it is in random position and random shape. I try to hold the bottom at the end so that I cannot control the position so that it will make the painting look more natural. I think that's enough for the rain drop, and now we need to wait for it to dry completely. I believe for this painting, it is the longest process. We need to wait. Now the muskin floor is already dry, so it's time to pin the background and even use the wet on wet technique. Make sure we need to wait for the muscin flow to dry. If we wait for it to dry naturally, it may take at least 30 minutes. You can accelerate the process using a hair dryer. So we will first start with wetting on the background. While waiting for the water to sing into the Watercolor paper, we mix some colour. First we need to paint the sky is gray, so I use indigo. This is indigo. A little bit paint gray. I mean, it was a little bit hema dis miss. It is a granulating color, but it is important. I just want to make the color is a little bit dynamic. You can just indigo and pin just paint gray or indigo and you see the sky is light this part. I will start with this area. I will start in this area to check the value of vests and then I will drag it into this area. I think it is still too light because the watercolor will be light after each dry, so I add Now it's time to paint. The rainbow here. So in order to paint the rainbow first, we make sure we on red tech neck, but the brush is not too bright. So we start with the pink color first, I think it is camium I think I made a mistake to add a lot of green in the previous bending. So we will make it very light, but make sure we tap the brush into the piece of cloth or before putting it on the table because we want red on red but not too harsh red on red. Then it is I think I will put in here first. Yellow. I will start from this area first because it will on way be covered by some lemon yellow. I mean just add on the rainbow colour. And then some cerulean blue. Make sure, make the color very light. I think because cerulean blue is a little bit pastel color Looking back, I think the thing is red is quite two light, so I add a little bit of it is like red light. You don't need to use exam a similar color as mine. I think I need to make the yellow clearer. I think that's enough for the rainbow. I think if you look at the reference photo, it's not too sharp. Now it's time to paint the e here, I will change to the bigger brush. Okay, make sure the color is not red, so I will start with this. It is olive green. Just use the light green in your palette. I don't have to try too much exact the shape of the cheese here. If you don't have olive green, just suck green. You see, my green here is not exactly similar with the green on the preference photo, but it is not important. Now it is there the green color from in set. I just add it. Make sure it don't cover the previous layer olive green. This area. I've been at I mean I think it is rosasana I think I've asked is ink red. Add all the color you have on your palette onto this to the dynamic of the scene. Also change to a smaller crust and I've been ask some paint gray the duck area of the folia. So make sure that it's liced, medium shade and the ck shade on this ee. It's enough for the big well now we need to wait for it to dry before painting the raindrop. 4. Final Details and Goodbye: The background is already dry now, so I will remove the masking fluid. I'm using this eraser to remove skin fluid, but you can remove using your fingers. Make sure your finger is clean before remove skin fluid because you don't want to put oil on the painting. After removing musk and fluid, now I will use this smaller pus. The first thing we do, I will put the lackis value on the in drop first and this indigo. You see it is on the right hand side of each. You don't need to make this become uniform because you see and it is more from this side of the pending. I add the middle value and the dupes value on I plan to put the dupe value first, but now I think is okay if you put the middle value first, I watered out the pain a little bit. Actually, the order is not really important. The order is not important. But the reason I do feel that I want to start with the middle value because then I will wait on neck to add the duped value on the range rock. I just indigo or pain gray and paint it on one side of the range rock. Actually, we don't have to try hard on this step. It's because even we try to water down or use watercolor in the docket shade. It will change when we put it on the paper, and it will create the dynamic of the painting. I put some docket film here on it is still wet. You see for this area, there's on mode, no piece value we don't we don't add the piece value on this side. Finally, for the rain drop on top of the rainbow, we will add some rainbow colors onto it to create the dynamic of the painting. Just add some drop here and there. I think it's too dark here. I think that's all for now. We are done with this pending. I hope you are successful and don't forget to upload your project onto the project session and I will see you in another class.
