1. Introduction: Hi friends, welcome to this Skillshare class on miniature paintings. Gauche is a medium which act as a bridge between acrylic and water color. The consistency and the vibrancy of the colors are so exciting to work with. Today in this class, we are going to try some miniature paintings, but you can try using it as a tank to guide business card or any wishes guide, or simply you can give it to somebody. So if you don't have the bush bean, feel free to use posture colas or watercolor. Now, watercolor artist, let's start painting. 2. Materials Used: Let's see the materials which you're going to use in this project. I'm using Canson 300 GSM, watercolor paper, pencils, erasers, and scale sensors. I'm using my fine liners, which has different line we bend. So mostly I'll be using 0.50.8. They may have white and golden in kindness to. I'm using brochure as this goes, colors. As I said earlier, you can use post Apollo sought and watercolors in case you don't. Then you need what DO rations and palate? 14. 3. Making the cards: Before we get into painting, let's make the miniature guard for the painting. I'm dividing one A4 sheet into six parts. So the size of my one card will be around seven to 7.5 centimeter. I'm taking to a fresh sheet and cutting it into six pieces. So we are going to make 20 minutes wash paintings out of two sheets. 4. Painting Background: Let's start painting the background using gauche colors. We need paint, water, balance, and brushes for the session. Let's take up each piece of paper and paint it. You can choose the colors you like, or you can use the exact colors which I am using here. So that it two options. Either you can find the god with just one color, or you can choose two colors of your choice and painted in one, God, I'm not willing to and dab be bullied colors. I'm leaving a little white space as a border. On all the foresight. I have not gotten any borderline for that. Randomly. I'm just leaving us malls whitespace at underpinned. I'm giving it a fake layer in the gut. So in case if you're using watercolors, you may have to go for two codes to get this. So choose. 5. Sketching : Let's move on to the final part of all miniature quash bendy. Now we have to advocate the background color painted and properly dried. So we're going to use black or white fine liners on top of it. To complete our project. I've not used golden IQ in this project, even though I've shown that here. Next step is adding some little sketches or boo-boos to archives. For this blue background. Let's add some fissures. I'm using white fine layers here. Hi. You can add some messages to all the best. You can write. Any cops here. Go with the flow or something which matches with paintings. Whatever you like. I'm creating it got because I've been the sap green background. By trying some plantings, you have to make sure your paint is properly dried up before you start with the fine liners. Similarly, I've drawn images on each of the sheets to match the background color. These line drawings are very basic and easy to create. So you're taught live free to experiment with your creativity. In this illustration, I'm using right lines along with the black to show a little person the water. Hi. 6. Sketching contd.: Let's continue drawing. Here is a guide, but I'm just using white lines. Yes. Here comes out with God with two different colors. And imagine the bathroom. I am drawing some way grass using black liners. Let's create a pine tree landscaping, this background. This background color is suitable for us knowing I'd seen. So that we have created 12 miniature paintings. Feel free to experiment with the colors and the drawings. Eagerly waiting till your project picture. Thank you.
