1. Introduction: You see me holding
some dirty brushes. Still got to clean
them. But that means I've been painting. And I invite you
to come along and create a beautiful oil painting. We're going to create
a winter cabin, a lovely winter scene
with oil paints. Oil painting you can do
in a number of ways. There's various
techniques you can use. What we're gonna do is we're gonna oil paints, Alla prima. And that's basically
means we're gonna do an old painting in one
session from beginning to the end in one session
without letting it dry for weeks in-between and adding more paint
and more layers. We're gonna do it in one go. In this art class, I'm gonna show you
how to do that. Now do a lot of people. Oil painting sounds really
quite intimidating. And for me personally, it took a long time
before I picked it up. But with some simple techniques, it's not even that complicated
and intimidating at all. I want to take you along, show you these techniques
I'm using to just create beautiful oil painting without all that intimidation and
even without all the mess, just having some fun
with the old paints. So I would say, pick
up your brushes, move to the next lesson. We're going to create beautiful
winter Kevin, together.
2. The Materials: Let's discuss the
materials first. Obviously we need those
before we start painting. I wanted to just show
you what materials I'm going to use and what
materials you could use. On my desk. You already see the materials
we're going to use. I'm going to put some
of this stuff away. And while I put it away,
I'm going to say you what we're going to use it for.
Y, we're going to use it. Let's start with the paint. I'm going to use this water
mixable, all your colors. Now I don't want to mess with
all these smelly things, turpentine thinner
and things like that. So I'm just going to use
this water mixable oil. Colors from these are cobras, royal talents, but you can use a different brand
if you want to. I'm just going to use
to study quality. Now, there's better quality, but use whatever you have. You could of course use
the regular oil paint two, but instead of using
water as I have here, two jars of water
to moles of water. You would use whatever you find, your paint with,
whatever you prefer. So there could be
some turpentine, it could be some paint thinner. Whatever works best
with your paint. Two bowls of water. Why I'm using two balls, one of the menus to
rinse my brush with, and there's a little cloth
to wipe my brush on. And the other one
I used to pick up the clean water to
mix with the paint. I want to put these
side behind there. Alright, the next thing
you're going to use, so aside from the pains, you're going to
use some brushes. Of course, the brushes, I'll be using RDDs. I'm going to use a round
two for a small details, and we're going to use around ten probably for
most of the work. I'm going to use a flat 12th and I'm going to use
this little brush here, that's a synthetic stamp. It's really used for stamping, but I'm going to use this to create some effects in the tree. If you don't have that one, you could use a
regular paintbrush and just cut it off like this. You could use it or you could
use something like this, a mop brush like that
with a rounded that you can really press into to get
a little bit of an effect. I'm not going to use that, but you could use that instead. A brush like this, which is a little bit rounded, a mop brush. So I'm going to put that aside. I'm using this little
inexpensive brush for stamping, just
a simple brush. Then you see we are having
some palette knives. I'm just probably going to use this small one just to
mix some of the paint. But since I'm working
on a small area, I don't need much paint, much mixing the
most of the mixing. I can do this with my brushes. But if you're going to
use a larger canvas, then you may use this palette
knives to mix your paints. Alright, that's that. The next thing. I'm going to use this,
this glass plates and I'm going to mix
my paints on there. So you can use you
can use a palette, you can use a plate, whatever you make sure part
of one of these tariff, tariff pallets, whatever you
prefer to use or a whoop. Some people use wood board, so I'm using that. The next thing is a pencil. You need a pencil, an HB pencil. I used a to B pencil, but you're going to use
an HB pencil is best to draw the design
which is here. So you need this design. You need to transfer it to whatever you're
going to work on. Now, I'm going to work
on canvas sheets. So something like this, an inexpensive
block canvas pads. And in there there are
just these sheets you can tear out, which I have done. I've transferred this
drawing which comes with the class to my sheet and
actually I traced it. That's the nice thing about
using Canvas like this. But if you don't have
cancer sheet you, what you could use this
one of these boards, this canvas boards to, this one is still packed, but that's just a
board with Canvas, a piece of cardboard
with a lot of Ken sheet, same as this sheet
of Kansas over it. Or you could just
use, of course, a regular Canvas up to you.
What you're going to use. My size is A4. You could go larger
if you want to. If you go larger, you may want to adjust
your brushes too. Of course, I've adjusted
my brushes to the size. I'm going to work on
relatively smaller brushes. If you're going to
use a larger canvas, I would go larger brushes too. So instead of a flat 12th, you might want to
use an around an 18 or something like
that and around ten, which is the regular
round I'm going to use, you might use a 16 and
for the smaller details, I would say around eight
would be pretty much okay. If you've got to work
on the same size as me, then use indeed a ten, round ten and around two and a flat brush,
flat brush 12th. And this little stamp, this you can get large too. So if you're gonna work
on a larger canvas, then you get two. Alright, the next thing
is the club Phi hat that already the design. I'll leave that up to
you how you're going to transfer that to the paper. You may just want to redraw it. Or as I've done trace it
or use a grid method. But I'm not going to
discuss that in this class. I've got other classes for
that which you could check to see how you can transfer
something to another paper. The colors which
I'm going to use is a permanent yellow medium, color, permanent yellow
medium and wrote Alice has to 84 for that. The next, of course, is a white. We're going to use a white. And for that I'm going to use a finger as a titanium white. Yes, titanium white than five. But if you have a regular white, you could use the
to the next color, which we're going to
definitely use a primary cyan. And that is five-seven to the other color I'm
going to use darker color is an ultramarine That isn't
free or 504504 column. The next color which we're
going to use is this red. And I'm going to
use that for no, let's do the red in a minute. The next thing is green. We're going to use the
screen and we're going to use that as a
permanent green deep. That is a 619. So a permanent green deep, then we need some ocher
that should be this one, a yellow ocher that
is two to seven. And we're going to
use this color to that is a darker
ocher burnt sienna, not an old cobalt burnt sienna, that is for 11. And I'm going to use also. I don't have black. So if you have black or gray, you're fine to use
black or gray. I'm going to mix a
little bit of color so you could follow me
in the mixing two. And what I'm going to mix this, I'm going to mix that dark, this one that ultramarine
with the permanent, I think it's red, it's permanent red or blue. I want to use it.
Very dark red here. Notice a magenta. I don't want to use them.
Virginia, I'm using a then a pi. Oh, my goodness. Who thinks that these names? Pyrrole red. That is free, 15. And I'm going to use this
very dark burnt umber to that is for 09, these colors I'm
not going to use. So that is the colors I'm using. Now if you don't have
exactly the same colors, what you could use is you
need just basically a yellow, a red, and a regular blue is really in blue
would work too. You need a darker blue. But if you don't have
a darker blue but you have a black with it, or a rat, you could
mix the light blue with the red
and we're gonna do some mixing definitely. You need some ocher and some burnt sienna or a brownish tint and a green
and of course the whites. So that's it. That's
what I'm going to use. Alright. Pencil I had and
that's everything. Okay. That's it. Yeah, that's the materials. So I would say get
at these materials, I want you've got pretty
much these materials. Then you're ready to
go to the next step.
3. The Sky and Mountains: Now that we have our materials and you've transferred
this design to edu or Kansas board or canvas sheet
or a regular Canvas. We're ready to start painting. The first thing which I'm
going to do is mix a color which I'm going to use to
mixing in my dark colors. And we're going to
create a light gray from that to since I
don't have a gray, if you have a Payne's gray, e.g. you can use that for
mixing. Would work too. But yeah, that would work, but you might need
to add some white to get not a black black. I don't want to have
a black black tone. I want to get more
dark brownish tone, but let me show you that. Alright, good. The
first thing we're gonna do is then mixing. I'm going to put
these colors away. We're going to use
those definitely. Want to take my palette knife. You need the palette
knife for that. I'm going to mix, first of all, a little bit of
this ultramarine. Since I don't have black, but I don't want black, black. So ultramarine and
probably going to create a little
bit too much of this, but I want to mix this
in with various colors. The next thing we're going
to use is not white, please. No, not the titanium white. We're going to use that a
lot, but not yet is the red. And the red has
suddenly disappeared. There is on the top. I'm using the pyrrole
red, but any red, you have not a dark, dark red but also
not a light rail. See a nice primary red
would be fine too. So some of this and
I'm going to mix in a little bit of this very
dark brown, a burnt umber. And instead of burnt umber, I guess if you don't
have a burnt umber, you could use a gray for this. Alright, and we're going to
take that palette knife, and I'm just going to mix these colors until I get
a very nice dark color. And I'm going to
just look at it. I'm going to say, alright, that looks like a
pretty decent color. Now, if you have a gray, you don't have to do this or
black, then you may want, what you want to do then
instead is take some blue and mix it in with some gray or some black to get a very dark tone. Theory, this is a
very dark purple. This would work good. It's not, I'm not going to do
an exact science with this. I just need this to
mix in the dark color. Alright, so that's
my first step. So I've got that ready. Now, I'm going to take
a look at the painting. Number of paths in a
painting we have the sky, we have the moon, we
have some mountains, we have some trees
in the foreground. And of course we have the house, the fence here, and there's
a little tree there. Now the little tree here is probably once we
start paintings, pretty much going to disappear. So we have to repaint that
from the example we have. So you got to make sure
you have that close by. What to start here with the sky. What I'm gonna do with this guy, I'm going to first
put down a lightened. Now, normally, when you
would paint or oil painting, you will take an undertone. You would create an underpainting
with a certain color. I'm not going to do that because
I want to use this white of the canvas as
my snow later on. So the white parts are
going to be my snow. That saves me some painting. And then the texture
comes really nicely through and that's just like that. So we're
going to do that. We're not going to build up
tons of layers of paint. Now we're gonna do this
reasonably be quick. And that's why this is
an ala prima painting. In one setting. We're going to try to
create this whole painting. Create a beautiful cabin at
night or in the evening. Alright, so what's
going to start with this now I gotta
get rid of this one. And I'm going to clean
this with my cloth. That's why we have to club
that is cleaned and make sure that you don't touch
that again with anything. And if you use
regular oil paint, you don't want to put this cloth near the heating because
it's going to burn. You don't want that. Now with the water soluble, that's a bit different. But if you have regular
oil paint, be careful. And also make sure if you have regular oil paints to
ventilate your room. And that's why I'm
not painting with that regular oil paint at the
moment because it's winter. I really don't want to open my windows and get all called. So these are a great
solution for that smell. Alright. As you can see, I've put down some
of the light blue, the primary cyan, and
I'm going to use that. Now. I'm just going to start
with the flood brush. What I'm gonna do,
I'll show you. I'm going to wet this
brush a little bit. Get off some of the paint and I want to have a thin paint. I'm going to start with a
thin paint as my first layer. Now I don't want it too thin. So if this all started running, if you put your canvas up, depending on how your paint, I'm painting flat because of
the camera, of course. That is on top of it if you're
painting an irregular way. So more, as you can see that I'm going to show you that
in a different camera. So if you have your Canvas, let me see if I can get that. Yeah, there you go. Straight and you paint like this on it. If your paint start
running, it's too thin. So I'm going to show it
doesn't start running, but it's also not too thick. And I'm gonna put down
a light blue color. Yes, that is nice. And there we have
the light blue and later on we're going to add
another layer on top of this. And we'll just smear this
out as far as it will go. And we'll fix up some of
the paint, paint there. Now, what you could do this, you could tape down
the bolus with some masking tape so that
you get a nice border. I'm just going to
leave it like this. And there we go. I'm going to wet my
brush a little bit more. It's not running too
much. There you go. I want it slightly wetter because I want a
thin layer on it. We're going to start
with lean over, sorry, the other way around
fat overline it's called we're going
to actually do both. If you would go discuss that, some people say you can
only do fat over Lean. And Lean means that you've
added a lot of additive. So in this case, my case, water and fat means you start adding less
and less and less. But there are painters who
work the other way around who start fic and then
end with thin, so fat, lean over,
fed the hippo. Nice. This is only my first layer. And a little bit
more of that paint. This is my light tone. Diego. Now, what I'm
gonna do is think I've been everywhere except
for around the moon. I wanted bit closer on the moon. There we go. What I want, I want these
strokes to go one way. So brushed them like debts. There we go. That would be a first layer now that already starts drying. I want a little bit more
around these mountains. There you go. Now, these lines
later on will disappear. And of course this
is way too light. We're going to have a night sky. So we need something way darker. But I'm going to
leave this for now. I'm going to let that dry. The next thing I'm gonna do
is I'm going to take some of this darker color and put
down the ultramarine. And there we go. I'm going to wet my brush. And I don't mind in
this case that there is some light blue
in it actually. And I'm going to
mix this again with the water to just get
some light paint. And now watch. Next thing I'm gonna do is with
this palette knife. Want to pick up a little
bit of this lighter blue. I don't want to put
that fruit air. And these two, I'm
going to mix together. And again, I don't
want it too wet, but I also don't want it to dry. And this is my base mountain
color and as you could see, that should create
a nice contrast with the other, the sky. But later on this guy is gonna
be a lot darker of course. And I'm going to put these in. And what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to use these strokes this way. So I want the mountain
to be this way. Now, I'm noticing my paint
is not running enough. There you go. I want to smear out very nicely. This will be my
base mountain color now with the mountains later on, we're going to add some
white for the snow. But I'm not going to worry about yet that that color is in there. We're going to do that later on. There we go. Color, note
the line store where I am. And later we're going to add
some darker color to it. Careful around the lights. Don't want to paint
over the light. And there we go again. And now I want the edge. The ego, and I
don't mind if there is some weight on that edge. I think I need to go a
little bit more here. That's the end of my painting. Alright, that's my
first mountain. Take a little bit more water. Go for the next one. Painting that in nicely. And around here. I'm doing with the
edge of the brush. Catholic painting
that in, alright, this is by the way, D2, but we'll do that in a minute. Alright, there's the tree. No, next one is this mountain. And I need some
more water and some more Payne's. There you go. Good. And there I'm going to stop. There we go. Good. Careful at that roof and the light. And I think I got my
first layer mountain. And I'm gonna switch to the round brush in a minute
to do those extra details. Now I could do sum here. Pick up a little bit of the lighter blue
mix that in again. Now this is too runny. There you go. That's better. If it is too wet, too runny, then add some more paint to it. Good. Alright, I'm going to put
this brush down for now. I'm going to switch
to that round brush. And we're going to paint
in these parts here. You could use, if you have a small flat brush, you
could use that too. And on a paint right away. Back here. This dark color to your right, gonna be
a little bit careful. Although the nice
thing about this is that shouldn't be a problem. If you go over part where you don't want to because you can
paint over it again. Pick up a little bit of water
so that I can make sense. Some of this paint. There you go, that's better. And again, want to try to
get these strokes like this. Now here I definitely
didn't go far enough. Might need to mix
some more paint. Around here it is
still that color. Now, careful there. This is snow on the red, snow on the poll. All right. There we have the
Blue Mountains, I think. Calf pick up a little bit of
water and I'm going to do. This here slightly better. All right, there we
have our first layer. Let me do this
slightly better too. And around here, I think we're good. Alright, now, there's
forgot a line here. I think on the original, there is a line here. So I'm going to bring that
line in with my pencil. Around there is a line. So then right behind it, there needs to be some blue to, alright, and that's, that's, I'm gonna leave this
to dry again and I'm going back to this one here. And that should be pretty
dry already yesterdays, you can feel it very carefully. You don't press too hard, then your fingerprint is in there, but that is pretty much dry. So I'm going back to
this original one. And what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to mix some new colors. I'm going to clean
my palette knife. And what I'm gonna do
is I have this blue, which are used to pick
up some of the blue. Let me put it right there. Good. The next thing, what I want
to do is I'm going to pick up the brown color I did. And I'm definitely going
to mix this in to get an interesting blue
brownish mixes should probably go some
nice darkish blue, as you can see here. I've gotta do is I've
got to clean my brush. And then now there is a lot of water in it
which I don't want. So I'm going to
clean my brush here to pick up some water. I'm going to take
this paint off. There you go. As much as I can. I shouldn't go over my work, should I care for? I'm going to take
some of this paint. There you go. Nice little bit of water in it. It will flow a
little bit better. And as you can see, it's
a nice dark blue color. And we're going to add that. I want to start right
here and add this to our light blue and basically
mix these two colors in. There you go. That
is a nice car. Now we're getting
that night sky idea. Here we go. That's good. Now, what I don't want, I don't want all that dark
color here. I want some of it. So I'm going to drag this and see how far I can get without
having to take new paint. I still got some paint left. Alright, good. And now I'm going
to bring it there, but I'm not going to press
heart and we're going to try to move the paint in C and
we get this lighter effect. If I don't press too hard, then I'm not going to take
all that color there. I want this to be a
little bit nicer. Bring that back here, good. And here I'm going to press a little bit harder and
now I'm going to try to drag whatever paint is left. See if I can bring
it around the moon. Here too. It's almost gonna be dry
brushing close to that one, some of this color there
but not as dark as here. See now you get already
this nice transition. Let me put this straight
dark and of course, carefully go around the moon. If you find yourself
having too much paint, you could take a
piece of paper and just brush on the paper and then get it out
of your paintbrush. And there you go. Good. Spread this around a little bit better. There we go. Let's see if we can get
some paint down there. Yes, we can. Up here to there we go. There's some paint
still in them. Rush, which I'm going to
now track around there. Good. Now we've got a nice
mix of these colors. And I don't want these Orpheus strokes around the mountain where
I've done this. So I'm going to even
them while it is still wet carefully out that I
get a different stroke. And there we go, see, and that looks very nice. Good. Now I'm going to switch brushes. Let's see. Am I happy with this now? I'm not totally happy with this. I want this to be out a little
bit better. There we go. Straight edge and a
little bit more paint right at that edge. There we go. Good. I'm happy with this. I'm going to leave
this like this is I don't want to
clean up brush. I don't think I'm going to
use this brush anymore. I think this did it did
what it needs to do. So I'm going to
clean it for now. I'm going to put it away. There we go. That's
our first strokes. We've got some of the mountain, but not enough. Of course. We're going to
work more on this. But these are, these are the
first steps in our painting. Alright, and I'm going to
leave this lesson like this, the next lesson,
what we're gonna do, we're gonna do that moon. We're gonna do those mountains a lot better than
what we have now. But we've got a first part. The sky is there and
we're going to lift sky like it is now
and work on the rest. Okay, well, follow me alone, then we can just move right
up to the next lesson. If you haven't done that, then I would say do this part and then I'll see you
in the next lesson two.
4. The Moon and more Mountains: Welcome to this next lesson. We're going to work
on the moon and we're gonna do the mountains. I think we're going to
start with the mountains first while I've
talked and prepared, I think those mountains are
pretty much dry by now, or at least dry enough not
to drag out all the paint. That is the whole
trick to get it dry enough that you can paint
the next layer on it. Unless of course, you want to mix in these layers and lock. You want to mix them in a
lab, then lift them wet, and then they're
going to mix a lot. Still be wet. They're not dry because
if we want to dry them, then well, we need to leave
this about a week probably, but we'll do the whole first
painting, a whole layer, first layer to dry, come back a week later or two, and then do the next painting. What we're gonna do
it in one session. So we're going to continue
with those mountains. Now. I can see that those mountains
are still slightly wet, but that is okay. We're going to leave
this part too dry. Then we're going to do the moon. But first I want to
do these mountains. I've cut this dark column and we're going to mix
this in a little bit with actually this color here. So what we're gonna
do is first of all, we're going to take this brush. I'm going to clean
that a little bit. There's quite some of
that light paint in it, although that wouldn't
be a problem. I think I want to pick up some of this color
here and I'm going to mix that right in here
with that lighter blue. There you go, so that
it's not so dark c, We want a different tone, but we don't want it as
light as it is here. I want to put down
a darker layer. So I'm going to get some of
this paint a tone darker. What I'm gonna do is we'll use the different
side of my brush, the edges later on, we'll get a lot lighter. So there's an edge
doesn't match. Here's the edges, but
opposite of the edge. So if this is mountain here, this would be the light edge. This will be the dark edge. And we're going to
actually do that. Let's see here I can reach that. So this part, we're
going to make dark up until here. See that mountain goes there. I'm going to go okay
with around there. And now I'm just
going to paint this, direct this paint along
and create these strokes. And I want to go
in this direction. So I don't want to go like that. I want to take this
in this direction. There you go. And I need to work away that
line which I created here. And there we go. And that would be first part
of a mountain. Now up here. I'm going to dark this
part to a little bit. Create a difference
between the two. And up here, I'm going to
do the next mountain which is here. There you go. And I'm going to just
paint that color in and get those darker
tones. There you go. Unnoticed. It's still
reasonably wet. I notice. When I do
this slightly nicer. There we go. Now we get the darker mountains and
a lighter mountain parts. Let's see around here.
This is a mountain. The hago put down some of that Payne's. There we go. This I'm gonna do up here quite dark
because under here this line will be quite light day ago. Now, I need to mix
some more paint. There we go. Nice. See if we can now alter this a little bit. That's better now I'm
just fading this paint into the other
takeaway that line. But I didn't wanna do this
while it was totally wet because then you're just
moving the paint away. But this is a lot nicer, good. I need to have some of this dark paint and I need
to add a little bit of this. Not this one, probably
not the primary red, but the darker blue. We used the ultramarine. Putting down a
little bit more of that and picking up some
of that dark paint. And I'm mixing the
two right there. Now this is really thick, as you can see, that is to fig. So I'm going to add
some water to it, writes and make sure
this moves a little bit, but not too much. There we go. Alright, now
it's a nice consistency. I don't want it as wet
as where I started, but I also don't
want it that strong that I cannot move it around. I want to still be able to
move this a little bit. And this is going to be
definitely our next mountain. I need to look at that
line and I can still see it is still a little bit
wetter than what I have. There you go. That's better. That
line I can see it. And now I'm going
to add this pain. Pain is paint. It's not a pain. It's enjoyable to do this. There we go. That's a
good little bit up there. Put down some more paint here which is still
in the brush. And now I'm moving this around. Those even strokes. We go. That's my next mountain bit. I might do some darker here too. Day you go. Let's go. I need
something later on here. There we go. Um, let's see
around at the bottom here. We want this to get
slightly darker. And the ego careful
with that snow there, although we could
put some white on it if it goes totally wrong. And add a little bit here too. Diego. Connect
this a little bit. I think I missed a little bit. That's better. There you go. Now
you get right away. These, all these
mountains sheets, see, that looks a lot
better. They go. Alright, let's go
for, Let's see. Down here, it's too runny, so I'm going to add a
little bit thicker. The hago, I want a
darker layer here too. And again, careful down here. I'm adding a bit
more dark there. Good. Alright. The next thing
which we're gonna do is see, look away from the top.
Yeah, that's good. This mountain here
at my first line. Okay. Good. There we go. Well, we need
some obviously down here to add some more
around the light. Carefully. Still think I've got some in the
brush. Yes, I do. Add a little bit more there. And also paint this in slightly better than I need to
do it here too good. And I do want some around there. There we go. Now we've already, we're getting these nice
edges, darker tins. What we're gonna do here at one more darker
line, right there. Get an extra tone in tune a
mountain, and that's good. And we can keep on going. Let's see, we need
this as an edge here. So we need some dark here. And I definitely need to
create some new dark color. There you go. Pick up
some of that color in it. Create this nice
dark tone mountains. Make sure I'm following this line a little
bit with my strokes, but I need to be careful
when I reach that house. There you go. That's nice. Alright, Good. Let me see. There's the line going here. So above that line, I need definitely another line from this mountain
with a dark color. And back here then obviously
needs to be dark too. Okay, good. And there we go. Right now that
looks a lot better. Now we've got these
various tones in these mountains with a
bit of a thicker paint. We're going to add that on here. Get rid of some of these two
of your strokes that we go. And with the brush while it's almost dry and add
some color right here. And there we are. Okay. Well, that's good. We're going to leave
this to dry for now. I think my mountains look
pretty good already. Now that there is some of this white coming through
in this case, I really don't mind and now
I'm really see it here. I'm rinsing my brush. I don't mind since we're
having a snow scene. That is not a real problem. Cleaning my brush now because there could be some white
coming through. No problem. The next thing what I need is this gray now I
don't have a gray, so I'm going to make my gray, I'm going to use white. And I might use some of this
gray on the house2 later on. So I'm going to add some white. And now with the brush, pick up some of this gray, mix them together until I
get a desired grayish color, the ego, and add
some water to it. I think I might want
some more white in it. And I'm going to pick
up some clean water. Really thin this
and this is gonna be my first layer on that moon. Want to add some offset. The Moon craters,
spots we see on the Moon. Alright, good. And now what I'm going to
do next is wet my brush. And we get really thin
layer of paint on it. There we go. So there's some doing pretty
wet to get a nice gray, not too thick, not
too dark gray. There you go. Good. We'll leave that to dry. So nice color.
Leave this to dry. Once it is dry, I'm going to
add some darker parts to it. I'm going to clean
my brush again. Alright. I'm going to use
this color later on again. But for now, I'm done with this. Alright, The clean my brushes so I can go
to the next step. The next step, what
that's going to be is we're going to do
I think the trees. Let me look at the
painting for a minute. Yeah, definitely. We're going to do the
trees in the next step. Alright, well I'll
catch up with me. Or if you already done that, then I'll see you
in the next lesson.
5. The Trees: So we've got part of the Moon,
we've got our mountains, we've gotta sky now, the next step is to tree. And while I'm talking and
preparing the next paint, the other layers are drying
already a little bit, but we're going to do
this in one setting. So let's go. We got to keep on going. I've cleaned my brush. The next thing is I need green, of course now I'm gonna
put down this brush. I'm going to use the next brush I want
to show you this one. This is a very thick
bristle brush, sturdy. That's what I want. And we're going to put
down some of that green. So I have that was a deep something deep
permanent, deep green. I'm going to put it down there. Now, normally with my trees, I would have a nice light and around the edges
where the sun comes, I will have a nice light color, but there is no sun here,
there's only the moon. So I don't mind that
I have a dark green. What I'm gonna do is with this, I'm going to wet my
brush very carefully. So here's my water. Dab it a little bit. And I'm going to even
tap it a little bit on my towel and just pick
up some of this paint. Now there's some paint on here. And I want to do exactly
the same on my trees. I'm going to add my trees like this to create a
texture in my trees. And when I run out of paint, I'm just gonna go
to the next paint. And this will be definitely
my first layer of paint. So almost pure paint. And later on, of course,
we're going to add the darker parts on it. If you pick up some
new paints and go to the dark part first, then that would work. So I'm basically going to
dip my whole tree like this. The only thing which
I need to be careful at later on is around
the edges and up, especially when I get close
to this tree on the house, I might use a little bit
of a different trick. I'm picking up some
pure paint again. Adding that around the edge, creating nice texture effect. Alright, there we go, Good. Picking up a little
bit of water again. And now it's getting quite as
you can see, nice and wet. And I'm going to add
that wetter color around the edge there. And if I spill into the rest into the mountain a little
bit, not a problem. And I'm going to cut
enough this color, so I'm going to keep on going. And there we go. Nice. Now around the
edge a little bit. And there we go. I'm
tilting this brush a little bit so that I can
add some of the edges here. And around here too. As you can see, that
works pretty good to get a little bit
more precise in here. Now, I need some more of that paint to get onto
the smallest tree. Now we've got some trees
and a winter Hartree. There you go. Around the edge. I'm going to do it like this. And now I need to be careful. I don't want to
spill on the house. So I'm gonna move this
paper now so that I can do the edge and actually
see what I'm doing. Now normally I would
sit differently, but for the camera. Now it's spills in
slightly on the house. That's not a big issue, but I want to get that
as little as possible. And there we go. Alright. I think that looks
pretty decent. Except for around
the hair. No good. The next tree picks up
some of that dark color. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need some new coal cutaway
still with quite a bit. All right, good. I'm going to add some new color. And when I add some new color, so that gets dark,
nice and dark, I'm going to pick that up
first with the brush and move that darker color also in
the darker part right there. And some of their good. And now I'm moving to the rest. Mixing in a little bit with the water that is
still on my palette. And do the edge again. Here are two bit careful
there on my dude, either with the round
brush later on. Some more edge, right there. There you go. There's our
first layer of the tree. Now this one is
still pretty wet, so one D wet it a little bit, pick up some of that
wet with the brush and move it right
there. Okay, good. That's that. That's the first
step. Alright, good. The next thing I
need is of course, slightly darker color on it. But before I'm going to do that, I'm going to do dead slightly
better around the edge. I'm going to get
some of this number. Varies it, the light umber, I want to put down
some light on one. Right there. I'm gonna
get my smallest brush. I'm going to wet
it a little bit. Not too wet. Day you go do the first layer off, do tree trunks and see it's reasonably wet this year. There we go. Pick up some new paints. Now there is a little branch there in the drawing I think, but since this is also small, that little branches
basically gotten now. Okay, good. I know that can dry now too. And we're going to leave
this to dry. At least. We're going to leave
this to dry now this, we are going to work
on that right away. And we're going to
mix a darker color. So I've cut the green here. So I'm gonna put
down that green. Might get slightly more. And I want some of these
very dark blue I have here. I want that to be in that
green to make C and nicer, darker tone of green. There you go.
Dallas, right away. Nice. And that's called
is gonna be on the edges. Take that off with the brush. I'm going to use the
same brush again. Type that in. And law right
there around that edge. See, we're adding a second
layer on the hair too. And spread it out a little bit. Taking a summer we're
doing to do that HER2 and create actually nicely some more texture. Pick it up and do that right
here on this tree two at the bottom and around
the edge there. And move that into the
tree C. And now we're getting some nice trees and
want to pick the round brush, pick up some of that color. And I want it to go
there. I'm not painting. Again. I'm still dabbing
like with the other camera. Might be shaking a little bit. There you go. A while I'm at it. I want to do the same on
this little tree at some of this dark color up there too. And there we go. See now, that looks good. And then I do these
edges to a little bit. Now we're getting
these trees better. I don't wanna do it at,
around this edge here too. Again, we're still dabbing. And we're gonna do
dense down here too. All right, Later we need
some shadow there to really get this tree behind. The other one will do that. Okay, it looks a
lot better already. Seen, already darken up nicely. All wanna do is pick up
some of that color again. Put it in there too, on the street to be a tone
darker than they are. By doing this also, again, create a little bit of
interesting texture. Careful there. And there you go. Now, that is better. We
got a nice darker tones. Trees. Good. Alright,
Good. Let's do that. Next thing which I'm going to
do is cut this dark brush. I'm going to pick some of that
dark blue here. Slightly. Just a little bit of water to get it flowing a little bit. And I'm going to add that. As you can imagine
around the edge here. Create a nice shadow. Blend that in a little bit. Painted into the other
tree day you go. And that is nice. We'll just keep on
going here too. All the way around
the edge like that. And now I'm blending that
in with the other paints. Alright, good. Creating a
little bit of a shadow there. Good. And while I'm at it, I'm
gonna pick some of that really dark green we've made and basically add
that into my shadow. But I'm also going to
push this now into the other paint to really show that we're
talking about two trees. Now this frontier is
appearing slowly but surely. And we're dabbing
this in nicely. Here you go. And we're
getting the idea of some tree with a
bit of a third tree. Let's do the rest to go and pick up some of
the blue carefully. And actually you do
that around this edge T2 and create a nice
and darker tone here. Later on we're going to add
some white to the other tree. Day you go Sunday, which I'm going to walk away. And I definitely want some dark color on the hair
too, on the other tree. Right? Nice. Now we're gonna do to live in while we're at it. Pick up some of that pure green and create a little bit of a dark tone there. To create a little bit of a
darker effect on this ST2. And create a little bit of the idea that there
is some foliage, some pine, whatever going on, on this street to, and we will do that on this. A little bit too. Better, create a little bit of
foliage. Dare to Lead. This is good. I don't think I want to touch
this one except for me. Around the edge here, the width to work away that
obvious line that is still there from the pencil. Then you go, Oh,
that looks good. This looks pretty decent. And let's pick up some of the
pain there. Alright, good. That looks good. Now I think this
is dry here too. So we can go to the next step. But while we having some
of that faded paint, Let's carefully add a little
bit around the edges there. That's better. Let's do this one
to look at that. Alright, well,
leaving these to dry, we're gonna go back to this one. We're going to mix
in the darker color. Let's see. Now I want to share now, this is the burnt
umber, That's the dark. I want the burnt sienna. That is this one. And add a little bit of
burnt sienna there. Wet my brush a little
bit too much on it. Pick some of this burnt sienna
and add that to our trees. Painted in a little
bit like that. Now where the shadow is
obviously a little bit too. And there we go. Same here, up there
a little bit. Give it just a little
bit of a darker tone. We need some more
of the paint here. Even here, create nice dark edge on that one bit of
the shadow there. Look at that good. Blend that in a little bit. There we go. Alright, now, later on we need
to do this tree. What we're gonna do that
one would have finished. We're going to add
that tree again. Okay, bit with the dark color around the edge and
where the shadows are. And slightly more at
the bottom here too. And I'm brushing out the
strokes a little bit to create the idea of little bit
of themes around here. Do the edge, did
with stronger here? And I want an edge
around there too. That's better. That's something left. So let's put a
little bit on there. So I've got some darker
pass, some lighter parts. And there we go. Alright, good. We're going to leave this for
now. It looks pretty good. What we're gonna do next, we can work a little bit
more on the moon. Let's see, I'm going to use
that middle brush for that. I want to make sure
I don't wanna get rid of all that green. So I'm really rinsing
my brush well, and I don't want to
dry it with my cloth. Alright, now what I'm going
to do next is some of this paint here
should still be okay. To add on here like that. That's good. The next thing is, I'm
going to pick up some of that white and mix that in around the edge
just a little bit. And I'm still mixing
it in with debt. Created is on my palette
still a little bit. There we go. And
now the next thing, what I want this
around the moon. This is the moon. Obviously the system all, I think that this is the
moon. Around the moon. I want a little bit of a halo, so I'm picking up some white
and I'm almost dry brushing. So I'm just a little
bit of the white. And heading some of it around it and picking up
really a little bit of it. And now I'm going to, with
this almost dry brush, paint that over the other side c and I get a bit
of a halo effect. Might do that. Again. Slightly stronger. They go and pick up
the paint and go even a little bit further
than I've gone day, you go to create that
nice halo effect. And around here might
need a little bit more. And there we go. So there is some
white on it still, but it's almost dry. To get that nice halo effect like this and light
blue under it. It's even coming
through a little bit. And I don't think I want
to touch this anymore. That looks pretty good. That showed those except for we want some
more around. Here. You go. We've got our trees, we've got this here. We're going to mix in or add even darker
color for that one. We've got a nice dark
color here already. That is this one. So I'm just going
to pick this up, this very dark color. And around the edge. As you can see, I want to add that very dark color which
I already pre-mixed. And that goes on
top of the trees. On top of the trees, at the end of the trees to create a really nice
interesting shadow line. And now mixing in
some of this hair to you go some shadow there. Alright, so now I want
some at the bottom to go. Create a little bit, that idea of a bit of things going
on in the tree, the bark. You go on and I want to
slightly more tricky, but I think I'm okay with that. Alright, good. We're leaving this
now for what it is. And in the next lesson, we're gonna do the grass,
the bushes, bushes. There could be
grasped, but I don't want to add all these details because we want the focus to
be on the house later on. So what we're gonna
do is the next step, we're going to add our
grass and probably do the fence to see you
in the next lesson.
6. The Grass and Woodwork: Asset. At the end
of the last lesson, we're gonna do our grass now. Probably do the fence too. But let's start with the grass. Alright, well, we're
coming along nicely. Huge parts are there, but we're still not done. We're gonna do the grass. Now. Photographs,
I'm going to use exactly the same color
as is in the trees. So I need some of
that color back. Put it there. There you go. Probably don't need that much. We're going to pick
the round brush. My clean it I'm not
sure if it is clean. There's a white color in it. So I'm cleaning my white brush. Sorry, the white brush and clean the white
color of that brush. I'm going to add some
water to paint here. And we're just going
to start painting this in this green color. Alright? And for now, I could even go all the way down distance since this
is the first layer. Alright, so now we're
going to paint all of this in what I'm going do, this since this is all the same, just basically painting,
trying to keep the same color, a little bit of a lighter. Not a light green,
but that green with a little bit of water added. And it's not too thick. And since this is all the same, I'm going to speed up
this part definitely. Well, that's the first
layer of my green. And do the next step, the fence or should I do? I'm going to leave the
lamppost for later. I could do the fence, I could do some of the house. You see some of the
greenest on the house. Let's do the fence first. Now wish to fence, I
need to pay attention. This is all snow, so I'm not going
to paint that in. And the same fence
color is actually going to go on the woodwork
to so what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna leave this to
dry for now, a little bit. Later on we're going to add a much darker color,
cleaning my brush. And I'm going to pick up that
ocher that is still here. I need a little bit of water. And we're going to
just paint the fence. And now I realize
that around here, that little piece
which is now white, I need some sky
color still there. So this is the yellow
ocher goes on the fence. Definitely on this poll too. But I'm making sure I'm
not painting in the snow. And of course I'm not painting
in the lamppost either. I don't know if these might
just even out the strokes. Going up and down. And there we go. This part here. Alright, good. Now, for the woodwork behind it, when actually use
the same color, I'm going to show you that. I don't want to use this very
small brush for that too. I'll get some accuracy. Accuracy. What a word. Okay, I'm cleaning my brush while I'm dabbing
it on my paper. A little bit of
water, not too runny. They go. And I'm going to just paint
in the framework like this. There you go. No, definitely need slightly more towards
this now I could do that. Could have done the
house color first. But doesn't matter that much. Here. And I'm basically going to paint in every
part with this CO2. Now you get the idea.
What I'm gonna do is, let's see, these are the
bottom of the stairs, Diego. Not the stairs, not the road. But painting in this here. I could do this too
for you to show you painting a little bit. And then painting in this
part of the fence carefully, that is snow that comes now
right nicely in there now. There's some snow on
the fence on the bench to the fence too,
but on the bench. That is still part of the bench and then one-and-a-half Brown, I've got to erase
some snow on it. So we're going to cut at its most likely later
on that we go, good. I'm going to do the rest
two with this small brush. So I'll speed this up too, because I think you get the idea what we're gonna do with this. Well, that's the first
layer of our grass. The bushes, the grass
end of the woodwork, the frames and defense. But now of course we need some dark tones
do, let's do that. Dark tones. We're
going to of course, make a difference
between all these parts. This is in the front, I'm
sorry, this isn't the front, this is in the back, so we need to play a little bit
with that for now. I'm going to take the
small brush on pickup, some of that green. Now, I didn't clean
my brush well enough. So now I have ocher with some of the green
through it might give me a bit of a
darker tone already. Yes, but that's not what I want. So clean my brush. I want that green
and I want some of that dark color through it. I want to pick up
some of this, right, and create definitely
a darker tone. Green, slightly, a little
bit of water. There we go. Now, that should give me a nice dark tone of green for the back here
that is better. And I'm going to do
this back basically. Everything with it. Make it a little bit more
fin because it's too clumpy. There you go. Now we're getting a difference in the front and in the back. And that is the
whole idea that you go more here, a bit more there. Now on the other
clumps, Let's see, I want to do the bottom here and create a little
bit of a clump. And I'm gonna do
that every way here. On the bottom, I will create
some light, dark color. And around this edge here, where we can still
faintly see the edges. And if you don't
see them anymore, I would say pick the
drawing with it, let me get the drawing. What we're doing is
around these edges here. We're all going to darken
that up to create DID of clumps of grass or bushes or whatever they
have in the garden. Create that here too. There you go. And there too. Now back here, there is a second clumps, so we're going to
bring those in. You go for a darker color. Around the bottom here. A little bit of a darker color. And wherever these clumps are, going to paint
them in like this. And create a little bit of that. Fears contrasts
here and that looks right away a lot better. Here you go good.
Now, technically, I should have done this
the other way around. Start with the
darker parts here, but since I've already started, Let's keep on going. What I should've done
this the other way around this dark part, this delight, because the light
comes from here, but I already got that. So that's basically how
it's going to be, right? And now we get a difference between what's in the
back, What's in the front. And that looks a lot better. Create a little bit dark. There are two other
we're going to put some snow on there later on. Good. Yeah. We're going to
definitely do some snow. I want some at the bottom here. Creating all this, these different tones
gives you a sense of depth and that luxurious good. Okay, I'm going to clean
this brush, really well. Dry it and we're going to pick up some of this dark color. And that just needs to
go in there still day. You go slightly with dead. And now we've corrected debt
part two. Now let's good. Alright, the next step is
going into our woodwork. And we've got this Shanna. Shanna here. Yeah,
burnt sienna here. And we're going to just add
some color to our work, the fence and everything. Get these lines in a little bit. Little bit on the
bottom where there's some shadow like this. They go up. And then we're creating a
little bit of a shadow. Play like this. That looks good. That gives you right away the idea that there's
different moodboards on this. Back here to let's do a
little bit down there too. And behind the pole. Just a little bit to see. And that looks a lot
better right away. We just keep on going. As you can see, I'm
skipping the pulse for now. I think I might need vary
a little bit of water. And now as you can see
with this on purpose, I'm just doing this the
wrong way around too, since I've done that
with the world. But let's switch here
from this light here. I'm switching here. I'm now starting at the end
and working to its decide. Instead of starting at this end, we're working towards that side. Now here, on here. We don't need to pay too much attention
here again, we do. That's good enough
around here too. Okay, it's new paints. Alright, e to get
rid of a little bit on that. Alright, good. That's good. Now you
get a little bit of the idea of a fence. Now, let's carefully, under
the snow is gonna be, let's add already
a little bit of a shadow line their piece there. And they're too good. That looks nice. Alright, next thing we're
gonna do, these windows. Let's see this one. I want some carefully, some dark at the back, at the bottom there. And on the hair
just a little bit. It's not gonna be too accurate. This one on here, I want it in the back
to at the bottom. Maybe around there a little bit. Alright, I'm not going
to see much of this. K. This needs to be dark. This I want dark. And carefully on the dare, I want a dark to light. And the inner frame of the door, I want to create dark too. And we need a door knob
later on. There you go. Good. Get a little bit of light
and shadow going on. Carefully. Down there. Some dark shadow around the
edge here, some shed out. Definitely around
there, some shadow. And up there a little bit. All right. Let's add
a little bit down here to create a little
bit of a better part here. Here's some dark patch to
where I missed a little bit. Alright, good. That's
that, for that. Alright, We're getting there. Alright, we're stopping
the lesson here. We've done most of
the woodwork now and most of the fence. What we're gonna do next
is in the next lesson, we're going to pay a little
bit more attention to what we look at a few spots, at some really dark parts. And then we need
to do now still. Alright. See you in
the next lesson.
7. The House, Street Lights and more: We're getting there
slowly, but surely. We need to do these lumps. Do we need to pay
a little bit of attention to the
house grid some snow. But before we do that, I want to add some darker
parts to some of the words. Let's do that. Alright, let
me take a look at that. What I want is I want
some really dark parts. So what I'm gonna do is I'm
going to clean the brush. First of all, we have that
very dark color here. I'm going to load up my
brush with this dark color. And now if all is well,
there's a concede, it probably wasn't,
as you can see, that there's a flat sides. By doing this like this, picking it up, I'm
creating a flat side. And that flat side, I'm going
to use carefully to add some on this poll, e.g. create a strong
darker side here too, so that I can see that
poll a lot better. No one is good to see. Then. Carefully
summer the bottom. This is a nicer darker
color and I'm gonna do that around this edge here too, but I might as well do
this edge day you go. Now you can see the pore a lot better with
that dark color. Now, one thing I didn't
do is to bench Hugo. Like that, that is better. Let's see, in the house frame, I might carefully do that
to just create a little bit of extra detail. All right. Over there. And let's
add door knob there. Right. So that's good. I want to have a dark edge back there around
debt to end up in here. I wanted to dare to. Good. That's good. Alright, back here, or there is a nice edge already. Let's create a bit of an edge there and a bit
stronger under it. And let's add slightly a little bit of
shadow if we manage. Good, man, that's okay. Now, some parts are
getting really good. I want to have an
edge for the pole right there to create this
port slightly darker does too. With almost with Dr. Rush adding that color C. And now these poles are coming out a lot better
than they were good. Adding still even little
bit darker down their back. They're not down
there, back there. And now I think we're getting a nice way better
contrast than we had. Alright, now, going
to add water here. And I'm going to add a
little bit of a line under there and a little bit line
under there for the bench. And at the back. There you go. I may as well do that. Okay. I'm think I'm going to
leave the bench like that. Good. What's next? I wanted to do these polls, but these I want to do, I think even darker than that, mix them in with that color. But let's see, we're
gonna do the House first. Let's do the house first. And I'm gonna do that
with my small brush tool. Yes, I think I'm gonna do that. So I need to clean my
small brush really well. Where did a little bit. And I want this color, that grayish color I
have on the house too. Let's see. In here. This is gray on the
hair a little bit. I'm painting the whole house with basically the same gray
as we have in the moon, but I think it's slightly lighter because of
the added water on the here carefully. And now the snow is starting
to appear to slowly, but surely had a
lot of paint on it. So some of it I put
down there first before I'm going into
these tighter spots, drain some of that brown
for a shadow right away because that is
still pretty wet. I don't wanna go into it
at a fairly dark color up. There you go. That's better. Now we're
also getting a difference between all that snow
and this color here. And this code needs to go
in there a little bit. That's good, Good. And carefully, this is snow, so I don't want to
go on that snow, but I definitely do want
to paint all of this in in a minute. I can do that. 32. Let's do
continue with the house. Okay, Now the steps
gonna give this color to bring in some darker
parts in a minute. Although some of the lines from the drawing coming through
steel and that's okay. Alright, what I'm gonna do is add some of the color
around there too. And I might get some water. And roughly paint this into, Alright, That is good. Alright, I don't have
to do all of that. One we'll do next is, let's see. I want some green that's too
wet now into this color, adding some green, right? I want some texture on the house, right? And we can do that. Pretty rough like that. And I'll leave that to dry. Good. Now, we're going to
take some of that green. And I'm going to put
that on the, my stair. The ego. And around dare to create DID of some
steps like this. And might do some of
that color right here. Two, Good. Alright, we're gonna
leave this to dry. Clean my brush. Let's see. Yeah. No, don't mean yeah,
I'll clean my brush. First of all, we're
gonna do the lampposts. And for that I'm going to use this dark blue here.
That's very nice. Dark blue. But I'm not sure. We want to mix it in
with some of the brown. So what we'll do is pick
up some of that color. We have to react to
feed that. That's good. Get some of that brown. I'm mixing these two together. Bit more brown, get an
interesting dark color. Now what you could do with
these is also very dark. You could add blue with gray created dark,
almost black color. Let's see if this
is a nice color that has a very nice
color for that. So perhaps a little bit too. Purple brown color. Definitely need some water in this to get this flowing
a little bit better. There we go. I'm trusting cola. This is definitely
the more tricky part. What I'm gonna do
is I'm going to clean this brush for now. Get a little bit of shape back. Don't want it that wet. Now, pick up the paint again. Get a bit more control
back. There we go. Can put my hand. There. We go. Good. No, I don't want my hand in. The oldest stuff. Good. Alright. Oh, sorry. I think I'm bumped
into my camera. Normally, I would get a
lot closer to this buds. I cannot do that because
then you're going to see obviously my head, so it's a little bit of
hit and miss on this one. But I do think we're
getting there. Pick the right color
plays slightly thicker. There you go. There's
the first lamppost. School for the second one, I want to start at the top foot. And with this one, we go. I'll make that a little bit. Almost there. I want
to do at the bottom. Now. There we go. Now we're
getting somewhere. I'm looking at the flat side of my brush and trying to lay. Down as much as I can get
some nice accurate lines. Having said that you
could indeed do this. Smoke or a launch, fled brush do and
don't move at one go. All right, Good. That is debts. We want a little bit down there and I think
we're getting there. Very nice while I have
this rush looks clean it. Now let's pick up some of
that dark color we have here. And some places I'm
loading up this brush. I'm going to add some
shadow at some parts. See I want some
shadow down here. Leap down there on some
shadow under there. Good. At the house
under the beam. One. Definitely. Some
shadow like that. Now around these
edges very carefully. Just to get a nice
edge that looks better under the windows, but not over the snow. That has good. Alright, that looks quite
a lot better already know, while I'm having
this dark color. Let's add another layer of it. Around this tree. Moving into the
tree, there you go, create a nice shadow.
Even more for that. Further into this tree. There you go. Now we're getting a lot nicer. So now we're getting a nice difference
between those trees. And I want to add it's
almost a dry brush. A bit more there two, Good. Now that is way better at
slightly than there are two. Grid. Going to wet this brush. Hello width. I want to create
a line there too. That's good enough for that. Just any slightly
a few details here and do that for this
pull on the hair. A little bit too, alright, while edit. Add some shadow. On there. You can see it a little bit with
this very dark color. Let's just give
this around here. Just a little bit. Excellence. Making that stand out slightly. And one HER2 now,
that looks better. All right, good. Just a
little bit more detail. We're going to clean my brush. One more thing we're gonna do. I need some white. Because what I see here that the backgrounds came through slightly too much, perhaps corrects our halo little bit better. And let's add on the moon then. In the corner here. Sorry, not the
corner. On the edge. I'm adding pure white now. You got to create a little bit of a better distinction
between everything. Shall we keep going
slightly round? Okay, that's good. All right. Good. Okay. Clean this. All we're gonna do is dry it, pick up that very dark color. Let's see if we can add back. Right a little bit off
that lane ourselves, like this. All right. Good night. That's right. That bottom two. Good. Okay. Alright, good. We've got all of the major parts and
now we've basically cut most of the painting except for the lights and our snow. And we need to bring in
snow on the roof too, because it's one big white blur. We're gonna do that
in the next lesson.
8. The Light and Snow: In this last lesson, we're going to go for
the final details. Light. Most of the
shadow we got in, we need some snow effects. We're going to work
with some blue in this one and add snow. Blue. Yes, Braille by blue. We're adding snow. Sounds good or perhaps not. Well, I'll show you. Most of it is there now. We need some snow and
we need some lights. Let's do the light first. Okay. Let's start with the light. For light, I'm going to use a yellow and I was
founded somewhere. Permanent yellow medium. I'm gonna do just
a little bit of permanent yellow
medium right there. Make sure I clean my
brush really well. And we're going to add this yellow slightly
little bit of water. Load the brush. And let's start with the halo. It needs to go into Windows. Now it gives that
nice warm feeling. If you go over the
woodwork a little bit, that should be dry enough
for that not to be an issue. There we go. The house no, sorry the door. And as part of the
house, of course, need some overhead to and
I didn't pick a bright, bright yellow because
Stan careful. You don't get that
nice atmosphere. You could mix in a little bit of orange perhaps if you
would like to do that. But not too much, then
you get a red glow. You don't want that.
I like it like this. Not the bright yellow glow. Bright enough to give that idea of really the light shining
inside the Kevin see. Now we're getting nice and cozy. And of course, on
the lamps to see, I'm going to turn my painting for that so that
this is still wet. But this part should
still be reasonable dry, although I don't
want my hand to be resting too much on a dough. And if there's some little
bit of white left in here, that's not a huge issue. So this goes on pretty
much almost pure. I did a little bit of
water careful there. And WO look at that. And now you get that
nice warm feeling. Nice light shining
everywhere, Good. And with that yellow, I'm going to add a
little bit around here, although we're gonna do
some snow in there too, but I want some of that
yellow in the tree here. We need to do the
other tree of course, do not forget that. And adding some yellow
around here too. Just some of that light
and especially on this little tree mixing
some yellow lights. Even on top right there. Let's do it out a
little bit. Right now. We're getting a nice shine. And if we can manage, Let's do just a
little bit there. I don't see that too much. Do just a little bit. A little bit on the lamp
post. Gotten off end. That little bit up there. And just a little there. Alright, it looks good
to me cleaning my brush. Now I need that blue and
that is still there. This blue, the first blue we put down the lightest blue we had. We want to add snow.
I want to wet this. Don't want it too
wet but I don't want it too bright uterus. So some of the brush. Now, what we're gonna do is
around these edges here. There's always does a
bit, a bit too much. I'm going to add
some of this blue. Wanna do that around
the whole edge here. Now you already get that
sense of snow down here. Here's some to later
on work on it, spread this around
and I want to adhere to I'm going over that graphite. I'm going to mix in that
graphite in a minute. Um, let's see, I want
some on this back to, and actually I want
this whole Back to be slightly darker.
There you go. Alright, let's see. I've still got that
under the snow here. I want to do that to
create a little bit of a shadow effect. Even there. Good, and I wanted to do
it on top of this two. Alright, next thing
I'm gonna do, I'm going to clean this
brush. Make a dry. What I'm going to try us now, see if I can move that almost
dry, slightly damp brush. Move that snow a
little bit like this, See, that is what
we're gonna do. So a wet brush then
dampened on the cloth. So I dampened it on the cloth to get some
of the water off, but not all of it so that I can move some of the
snow and create. What I'm doing is I'm
creating a shadow line. And so probably I need to add some line-like
debts that my brush again and move that snow around to get a shadow effect. So we're adding, we're not
there's no snow at all, just the white, but
we're adding the shadow. And by adding the shadow, it looks like as
if we have snow. Now there are still
some on the brush. So what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to clean my brush on my paper. And by doing that, I'm
adding some shadow tints. And what I wanna do is on top, I definitely do want that blue. There. You go. Spread that around a little bit. Pickup, a little of the blue. Edit, slightly, creating
some shadow effects. And around this edge, I definitely wanted to
and slightly there. And now we've got some
nice snow going on. Alright, well, I'll
keep on going. What we're gonna do
is I'm going to add some shadow on these
bottoms to just to actually let that snow
pop a little bit there, I need to bring back my snow on the bottom of the
snow fence. Basically. I'm adding some
shadow there too. All right. Good. No.
Some there to day. You go now on the
bench carefully. Some to the ACO. We're going to leave
that for now, the snow. The next thing, what I'm
going to bring in this now that tree that is missing. And once the tree is in, then we're going to add
some white where we need some extra on the
snow tree first. Alright, do tree,
that tree is here. One way to do it,
I'm going to pick that really brown color
that we have here. With the small brush. I'm picking up that color. That's still should
be wet enough. And we're going to
paint in this tree. Now wherever I still see it. And if you can't see
the tree anymore, little bit of water for this, then take the drawing with it and just paint in the
tree from the drawing. I wanna see. We're
painting in this tree. So you could put your
drawing somewhere and just keep that as a reference. But even if you paint
a different tree, honestly, it doesn't
really matter, does it? As long as they are?
Yes. A tree here and I'm getting a
tree. There you go. All right. I need some there. Anything? Someday. Create a flat brush. There you go. That's too fake. Alright? So I'm here. Okay, there's the tree. I think. Only if my tree like this. Maybe you've got a
slightly different tree, but that's okay. Alright, the next thing is, we're going to need to know. I'm going to I'm going to
turn my pellet around. I'm going to get some new white. That white is
contaminated and make sure everything is
still nicely in few. With this small brush. I'm making sure that
it's really clean. Good. I'm going to add snow, but I got to move this drawing again. I'm going to find my whites. Are you white? Titanium white? Yes. Put down some titanium white and we're
going to add snow. Alright, I want to have a
nice dry brush for this. Ed. Snow to wherever it is gone. Like here. On there. My snow is definitely gone. I'm going to add
some snow there. They don't see it anymore. That's okay. Alright, Good. That's the first step. What do we wanna do is, um, let me start on top here. I want to add some snow, some lines like that. And when the paint is gone, want to pick up the paint in. And I'm adding some snow
on top of the mountains. Now, that doesn't need
to be white, white. This color, which
I'm having now, blending it in a little
bit. It's pretty good. I wanted on the HER2 Diego this mountain. Get that white
back a little bit. Snow there. And on this edge here, under that dark edge, I don't want to remove
that dark edge. I want to keep that
amending some snow. Not one. Sum here. I want to create this a bit
nicer again. There you go. I removed that
slightly too much. Alright, now, more tricky part and
we'll move this around. Add some snow on
these mountain tops. And that little mountain
here needs some snow. Check that. Get rid of most of the paint and blend this in a little bit. Blend this in just
a little once. The only thing is now I don't
see this dark pot anymore, this part of the mountain. I need to bring that back slightly more there. And now we're getting mountain and there's a mountain here to not forget this mountain. Right? And that is closer. So let's give it
some more white. That works out nicely. It works out well, good. Let's go for the trees. On the trees, just
with the white adding that on the tree tops, dabbing that in here and there. On this tree top. Add some snow here. And let's add definitely
some snow around. There. There you go. And basically add some random
parts on the tree itself. Let's add a little
bit snow to this one. Can get somewhat whites. Basically. There you go. There's a lot of
blue paint there. Alright, this tree
needs that too. Creating some shape
in this tree, this tree a little bit. Okay, good. Alright, I think we're okay with
this. Next thing. What I'm gonna do is
create some snow on these. And right here two at
the bottom of the fence. Create a little bit
against the fence. Pool this tree on top of the tree carefully because
there might still be wet. Alright, good. I'm mixed
this in. A little bit. Good. Let's see at the bottom here. Some day or two. We need some back on the
fence. Little bit better. There you go. Good. Now I probably need. Some new paint. It's almost gone. Right? Clean my brush
or the colors in it gets some more
of the white paint. If things are getting Y2. Alright, load that brush. Now let's see on
these branches here. Now, let's start with
the bottom here. Add some snow around
there too. Here you go. And let's add to the back here. Definitely a hint of snow. And around dare to do to get rid of this too
much on the brush. Alright, now, now
we're going to add some in-between the branches
like this. There you go. Good. What I'm gonna do
that with this one. Actually, a little bit too. Right in-between
on the branches. Where does should be. You don't see it that day. You can add some data carefully there. Some in-between here, maybe
even some down there. Now you get the idea of snow. Let's do some around here. There we go. Now that's good. Stare some snow stronger that push up some
snow against Three. Right there. Two, good. I think I'm okay with
this. And there we go. I think we're pretty
much done with this. You could do some into Windows, but that's too small now
all of this right on that, a little bit more on that bench and perhaps
on top of the bench, a little bit more snow. And let's add a little at
the bottom of the bench, HER2 on the stairs a little bit. And down at the bottom
of the stairs to some snow against the trees. Let's do some snow
here then under to the Hugo and on here to create a nice distinction
between the parts. Alright, and then
some of the bottoms. Let's add some random
snow here and there. Good. That's more of that
snow a little bit too. It's acceptable. Good. Let's since we're
having some white left some of it right there. That is good to know. Now I went with my fingers
in the paintings, so I need to restore
that a little bit. Around here at the tree. Slightly. A little
bit. Okay, Good. Looking at this one more time. I think I've got everything. Snow there. We've got some
nice snow effect there. The moon is pretty much
back better again, we've got some snow
on the mountain tops. Bit stronger here, nice there. What you could do that is
this side of the fence. We could do that too. Okay. I'm going to
clean my brush good. Because it's all
full with the white. Get some of this blue now, pick some of that
dark blue water to get it flowing again. We're good at bec here. The Heiko spread out a little bit dark since
that is not light. And with the house, we could do the same. But don't do it.
Don't overdo it. Like this is nice. Rid of dark. They're also on this part
of the house, Degas. Not too much, a little bit
that you get the idea. Spread this even out
a little bit better. The depth part of the fence is really dark and this part of the house is nice
and dark to need to. And it's a little
bit there you go. That is good. On the
they're a little bit yeah. Just a little bit of a
touch of this is lighter. This is darker, so you
really get that idea. Alright, that part of
the house is back and this part of the
houses in the front. If you could add a little
bit of a line here to there you go. Create that extinction. Now we adding that
wall in a little bit. That's good. And the rest, I think
I'm okay with this. Brush almost dry. Add a little bit here at
the back of the tree to just a little bit of more
shadow towards debt and we need to brush this
in slightly better. Can see, that's
better now you get a nice line where that
is going backwards. You have the top part a bit better and the dark sky
a little bit better. And we've got this here. Now that looks a lot
better than what it did. Okay. And then I might
as well still add some darker parts right there. That is good. Yeah. That was too light. Just a little bit more
depth to it. Like that. Okay. Now, we removed most of the shadow down
here because of the snow. And a little bit
shadow back here. And behind there,
we're going to add just a little bit of shadow. And around there, that's better, good at slightly on the head and to have almost
this is almost dry brush now. Good. That looks better. I like that. Alright, good. Now you could do
technically the bottom of the fence. The dry brush. See just a little bit to
create just above the snow. More of an interesting
shadow line, but you only see that a little, but it improves it a little bit. Okay. I'm going to put the brush down and we're going
to stop with this. This is our oil
painting, winter cabin. And that concludes
this painting session. Winter cabin, Alla
prima with oil paints. Alright, next up, the
last bit is the project. So I'll see you in the projects.
