Painting 15 Types of Wild Berries with Watercolors

1. Introduction: Hi, everyone. My name is such my day. I'm a watercolor artist and welcome to my skin shade class. My art is mainly influenced by all things that I see in nature. So we eat while flowers, trees, porters and everything that I see when I go out for walks. And right now, there are so many wild Berries outside, all in different thoughts of colors and structures on in this class will be painting all of those throughout this class. We're not just painting Barnato Berries, but we'll be painting a total of 15 different kinds of Betty's. And I have chosen all of the's Betty's based on your input on my instagram Handley and I should thank you so much for that. What? This class will not just be learning how the pain just the bellies, but we also be learning how to paint this time believes the structure, the colors on the composition. So which means there's a lot of learning happening in this class. And don't you worry. I'll take you through the whole process, step by step and just make sure you have fun and relax and enjoy the whole process. My moting in each of the classes. I'll be talking about how you can look at different bitch allies and come up with your own composition, but are copping any particular picture. And I think when you start off painting, this is a very important thing that you must learn. And don't be talking all about that. So, yeah, let's just have fun. So join me in this whole process. 2. Before we start...: before we start painting, I just want to mention them a little bit about the structure of this class. As you can see, we have 15 different lessons. Each lesson is for different Betty, so this means one. In one lesson. You'll be learning toe fully paint one kind of Betty, and I want to tell you that each lesson is independent off the other. So which means today, if you're not free to take the entire class or you just want to learn just one particular berry, for example, you just want to run wild raspberries today. Then you can just go ahead and take only that class, because that lesson is not dependent on any other lesson. I won't be saying or you have learned this in the previous class, so you can use that technique. But I'll be teaching you the whole process. In that class. I take you through the whole process that by stare. But this also means when you listen to different classes, you can hear a little bit of reputation off the techniques. So even though each berry is different on, we'll be known in something new. In each class, there be some sort of repetition in some off the techniques that I'll be teaching. But I think repetition is good, right? The more you listen, the more you remember. The more you remember, the more you implemented. So in that way, it's a good thing. So, yeah, that's what I want to tell you about the class. And let's not waste any more time. Just get into the class now. 3. Supplies: Okay, let's start by talking about all the supplies that we'll be using in this class. Let's start with the watercolors. I'm not using so many colors here. Just two kinds off yellows, two types of Fred one blue, one brown. Then there are two kinds of green. And then this indigo s bed. I've taken all of the's colors from this kind of tube and just poured them into this palette. You can take a screenshot off this to know all the colors that are used, but feel free toe. Use any off the similar colors that you have. Just don't stress yourself in tow. Getting the exact cardinals that I'm using. Just use whatever you have to make sure our discreet beans. Now let's talk about people. I'm using this already cut watercolor cold pressed paper from struck more, and you can use any kind of paper that you have. Just make sure it's watercolor paper on. It's cold press on. As you can see, this one is 100% cotton paper, which is good but not absolutely necessary for the kind of pain things that will be doing on this is 300 GSM. And that's what I prefer while painting. So, yeah, I would use whatever watercolor paper you have to know. Pressure not talking about brushes. I'm using two brushes throughout this whole class. One is a size six and other one is a size three border from Princeton. They are from the Princeton Heritage cities, and they are around brushes. One of them have Ah, very nice point. Especially the size three are really like how thin it is. The size six is a little blood. And that's great for making circles for all our bodies. So use a nice brush, which has a nice steptoe. It it can be from any brand. No problem. I've taken a sheet off kitchen travel on and folded it. And this is great for dabbing off excess pain from a brush. You can use a tissue all an old cloth, this bay. We also need a job off Clearwater Clean moto and that's it. We're ready to paint now. 4. Elderberries: let's start by observing what ease and believes actually look like one off The most attractive feature that we see here is there pinkish stem. And you can also see that the babies are a deep purple, almost black ish in color. One more thing is the Bettys are not just the watery number. They are big bunch. They have ah, whole lot of them together and we have to keep that in mind. Another thing that we can observe here is the leaves are pretty, generate their simple leaves and they're bigger than the Berries. So we'll keep that in mind while painting the whole time. This way, once we observe all the characteristics off that plant, we get a proper idea off what we want to show in our painting. And when we know that we don't have to look at any specific picture and we don't have a copy from anything, we already know what all points we have toe adding a painting, and that's enough to come up with their own composition. Now, okay, To paint these elderberries, I take a mix off rules on a little bit off our two Marine. I think this is a nice book flesh color that we have, you know? So let's start making the babies. I mean, these lately, so cools and fill them in. And if you notice I have a shape in mind, I mostly wanted like this. So I make sure put the police in that shape itself, at least most of the bodies there. So as you can see, I make one circular klein and then fill that in so you can do it the way it suits you. Maybe just press it and then toilet room. Or just make this outlined for me. That works. And one more thing is for everybody. You need not be a brush in the paint because we want that radiation within the bodies like we don't want all of them to be the same bulb. So that's why you use the same brush to make several. Very so, though, as the amount off being introducing your brush, it gives a different don't all the bodies. We can add a few more darker berry, so I'll just add a little more ultra Marine and weak dark ones. We can add a little contrast to these as well. So when it's still wet. I just put a drop off our two million in them. If you observe, I'm holding the brush almost like a pencil close to the tape. So when I want something more controlled in a definite shape, like this circular thing, then I hold it like a pencil. So the father, you hold your brush away from the tape. You. Your strokes are much loser and the way it's been, I'm adding some off these Billy's right next to the other, almost touching each other because I wanted to move. Look more plaster so you can do this when the very still weird and allow you them to bleed into each other, which makes it look more natural. Or you can wait for them to dry. And then at the semi circles around the mess, well, showing little depth in the painting. I didn't mean to have much more bodies here to make it look or dancer, so I'll go ahead and add many more Berries, and I speed up that we do. I think that's enough number off Berries for no if you want extra bacon and later. But now we can continue toe. Add the stem as we observed. Are you on the Stammel? These elevated plans are a beautiful pink in color. So what? I am doing this and what makes a little bit off red in tow my rules and get a pinkish a little dark warmish color for this to be in these times on, My main focus is to get this sort off be kind of structure like this. So I make sure everything connects in the end, that big we branch, It's okay. Some off the babys are still bet, and this color bleeds into them. It's it just looks natural. I think I need to switch to work in a rush so that I can get in our lines then this so we can switch to a size three brush for this. Actually, this brush feel so much better than the previous one. For these timelines, eso the smaller the size of the brush, the better the point, at least generally with good quality brushes. So whenever yours painting anything lines like branches or stem or adding military big tails, it's always nice to switch to Latina brush, then struggling with the pick a brush. One thing that you can observe is when I make these lines, I don't mean one straight line, but I meet these little dashes and join them together. So that gives a double natural effect. I continue, are in these little we shapes and make them broader as I go downwards so that behind one big win in the end, - we can add a few more. Betty's here and there if we want. Now, maybe here I can add a few Berries because it looks pretty empty there. I like to add these little lonely, twig kind off things here and there. It makes it look like some off the Berries have fallen down, and I think that makes it look more natural. So usually I add those in all my very paintings. I thought off. Keep adding babies continuously, and sometimes I don't know when to stop, but I think I should stop right now before I would do this. So we are. I think that's enough. We can add the leaves and the green stem now and finish this off. So let me take some sap cream and mix it with our purple mixture, which were prepared earlier. So what? I usually do is I add the green to the color off the flowers, so I feel it gives a more harmonious color than directly using the Saptari. And yeah, by painting this time as well as you observed, I don't mean one straight line, but I mean thes crooked line so that it gives a more natural effect to the whole thing. I added some more sap green to this mixture to make it a little more doctor for their lives . I've switched or bigger brush because I need Big Lou's right now, but you can also use the small brush, but you'll be getting smaller leaves than this with observe. The were holding the brush. I'm pulling it upwards and bending the whole brush and then pulling it upwards. We can try this again, so lower your whole brush with paint and gently president, slowly pull it outwards. So as you come to the end, just make sure you reach the to the tip off the brush. Instead, off pressing of old Russia, let's paint another leave the stamina, different direction and maybe a pointed downwards. You can also observed that I leave little white spaces in between being the sleeves. This makes it look more natural than just making it look like some green blob. But if you manage to cover those white spaces like what I just did and it's still okay, don't try toe. Correct it again and again. It's still fine. I think this is enough, right? Just plain and simple. Yeah, add this one leaf and we finish this off. I think we're done with painting at Betty's. Now. Will want painting more babies. 5. Goji berries: Okay, let's start by having a look at the goji berry plant. As you can see here, the babys are bright red, a very warm kind of candle. And one more thing you can observe is that the babys are stacked almost like in bruise. And we have to make sure we can meet that, not painting on these little leaves. Tiny little leaves are popping out in between those Berries here and there. The $10 roars. So we have to depict that as well. And one more thing that you can observe is all of the's Bettys are drooping downwards. They're all facing downwards and we can show that or so in our painting. So, yeah, let's get started. Okay, lets pain some goji Berries For this I'm taking my warm bread and mixing it with a little bit off Newcomb Borj, And this gives it an orangish but more reddish kind of color. As we absorb, these Berries are a little elongated and not completely circular, right, So we'll just make little borders and then fill that in as you can see what I'm doing. I think we can add the second drawer off Belize now, as we go down, Let's reduce the number off Belize in intro. So keeping that in mind, I add fewer Berries, you know, than the previous one. Maybe we can add a few more Berries on top. I much some off the Berries together so that it gives Adam class toward look okay, let's move on to the next room. You can dab off some off the pain from your brush so that it gives a lighter tone. It's always nice to have variation within all of these Berries than having just one single . So if you see here some off the Berries looked dark and some a little lighter. And that's actually good for the whole painting You can. I want to add a little bit off color the tips if you think it's too light. Otherwise you can leave it. Tacitus. Let's just add one more smaller or the bottom and then a few Berries here and there so that it doesn't look like it's neatly stacked and looks more natural with random babies here and there. And after that, we can want to painting the stem and the leaves. Let's switch to a smaller size three brush now because it's easier to paint all the details . With that, I'm going to use this green, which is already available in my palette. I had mixed submarine along with New Cambodge to get a lighter but a warmer kind of green for this. Well, the one thing we start with just the tips, and then we can fill the white spaces with this stem and the leaves. But I think this is much more simpler images doing the tips first. If your babys are not it fully Jared's Okay, let the green bleeding a little in some off them, but just make sure doesn't bleed and completely and fill the whole red with green. So just wait for a few minutes before you stack this so that it's almost drive and some of them are still with. Then it's OK, since they are complementary colors toe when it is to wait. If you add the green and they marched together, it becomes a brown mess. Over there. We'll start at in the Stearman leaves. Now remember, we want to me. This whole thing looked wild, so make sure you don't stack the leaves next to each other or in some systematic order because it ruins the whole natural look off it. So just actually using any landing cases and try filling those white spaces with the statement believes I actually want to have an idea off where the end of this bunch will be . So I just pain that using a little bit off Dhaka green mixture that were already using. And as you cannot serve, I don't make one street line, but I tried to make it a little crooked. I keep bearing the size off my leaves, and even the color don't as well. But I just make sure that all of them are pointing downwards because that's what we observed you what the whole plant looks like. But I make sure that I don't overcrowd the whole place with lots of leaves. So if I want to cover the white space, I just add little lines and dashes toe indicate the stem. Some people are more comfortable turning the paper every time they try a different stroke in a different direction. So if that works for you, then don't new paper around and play around and just have fun doing the whole process, actually and more comfortable the other way, so I'll just turn it around and continue painting. What? I'm still doing this and just filling those white spaces. But those lines and leaves And as I grow up, I increase the size of the leaves. And maybe I had a few more leaves under. I guess that's enough number off leaves. We can add a few lines here and there to make it look a little more wind, and then we're done with the goji Berries. 6. Sea buckthorns: Okay, let's have a look at some sea buckthorn Berries. As you can see, these bodies are little elongated, not completely around. And they have a bright orange color, very gorgeous orange. And if you can observe the leaves, they are pretty long and they're wavy and in all directions. And we want to depict that in our painting and you can see they're all the baby's. A class stood together around the stem very densely clustered together, and we'll keep that in mind. Ooh, that's a really nice picture. So we just we just keep all that we discussed now in mind and let's get started with the painting to paint. See Baton Barry's. I'm taking Newcomb board and have mixed very little red in it to create an orangish yellowish mixture. And I start by making these little circles a little are cylindrical in shape, and I outlined them first and then for laden. I want the whole thing along this imaginary curve that I have in mind, so I make sure I put all my Berries along that imaginary line, and I try to add the lots of Berries so that I can make a plaster off them in that angle. I'll continue adding these Berries, some off them, overlapping on the other. And I love speed up that Battiston we do. - I just add some more Berries here in there. Maybe a few off them don't. But I don't want to me this one too big, because the other one has to be my mean, prominent one. So I have very few off them down, and then we can continue adding the leaves and the stem. Maybe I'll just add a few more here to fill the white spaces on. Make it a little crowded because that's how they usually are. And, yeah, we can move to painting the leaves. Now for this I'm taking sub dream and a little bit off the Newcombe Borj, I mean the orange mixture that we already have. I take a bit off that and me, this whole green look a little more brownish. These plans have some ready wavy leaves, and I love painting doors. Just dip your whole brush in the pain and just pull it as you're pulling it. Just make sure it's a little longer than you, sure, so gently Thatcher brush and quickly flick it So try doing this in different directions so it looks more flowing and, um, more natural. A lot. Some more leaves at the boredom. And, um, yeah, just press and flick for the next few leaves. Slowed down the video so that you can see in more detail. How are paying these? I hope that give you a better idea at painting these leaves. Always make sure that you observed where I hold the brush. When I paint these and how I move the brush in which direction and in what ankle I hold the brush. It's always important to learn to hold the brush correctly, and it will take some time. So if you're a complete beginner, don't stress too much over it of it. Lots of practice. You will definitely learn and come up with your own way off holding your brush. One some off. These leaves are dry. I go back and add at the leaves over them and make them look like they're overlapping on one another on bond. This makes it look much more lively. I feel to paint this time, I think when Ah Crotone Golden makes it with the sap green. But I already have on my palette to make it look more brownish, but with a tinge of green in it. I start by painting the lead, the stem within the Betty's first, and I want to fulfil these white spaces with these stems. Some off them are a little thicker and some a little to no, I want a many one which goes downwards, Toby. A little take. So I make that a little bit taken. Keep the rest in our You can also switch to a smaller brush. Your if that's more easier for you, I think given I might shift. But let me drive it this brush for now. Okay, I think I'm good with this brush. I just continue adding the stem, making the middle one tickle, and we'll just fill the white spaces. But these little dashes and lines and maybe at the end of the week in and a few more leaves anyway. Let's see. I'm just adding little brown dots to the tips off these Berries. You need not add it on all of them, but yeah, maybe the ones at the sites. You can add these little dots. Just be careful. Do not make it too big. Okay, now that we're done with adding the tips to the Berries, I'll continue adding the stem assed. We go down, we have to make the stem a little thicker. And, yeah, I just connect all of these leads first to the stem, and then we can go down and finish it off. I'll just add a few or tweak kind of things here and there. Oh, just a little bashes and lines which are barren and don't have any babies, a leaves on them. So yeah, that's it. We're done with these Berries. If there are too many white spaces between your body's, you can add some orange circles now on device, you can leave it. Acid is 7. Blueberries: Let's observe what these blueberries looked like. As you can see, these babies are dusky blue in color, so maybe we can use in the goto. Give this bluish color. It's not the bright blue that we usually use, right, and you can also see that the leaves are pretty dining and generate leaves. Nothing fancy, so we can show that, and you can see those tips off. The Betty's have those flummery, dark things, and those make it very distinct, and we make sure we add that to pain. Blueberries have taken indigo, Andi added. A little bit of ultra Marine a net to make it a little bluish in color on dive watered it down to a great extent. So I'm just testing off the color, and I can see that this is what I want for the blueberries. A little dusky blue. I start by making little send me so goods. This one has too much work, so I adapt it off. I think still, there's lots of water. Or let me just tap it off. We'll take more pigment. You know it's much better, so I add tiny semi circles here and there, and later we can fill it with water so that it becomes much lighter than water just right now. So I dabbed off my brush, making sure there's not much paint left in the brush, and I'm just using the paint that's on the paper and pulling it to make the circles. So this way it becomes much like dough and the more transparent You will need to be a little quick while painting these, because once you being the semi circles and if you allow to be too dry, then blending them together to make the circle will not be so smooth and it won't look so good. So if especially if you're using a paper which is not 100% Corton, it will drive very fast, so make sure you bend a little faster. I'm just going to new making more off these Berries. I don't fill them in, so I just speed up that part of the video. Now that we're done with the bed, he's weaken, want painting the leaves and the stems for this, as you can see, mixing a little bit off indigo with this app dream that I have. I think this is a nice way to not just me. The whole painting look harmonious, but also keep track off what colors you have used for your painting. So when you look back and you want toe being the same thing again and you're not so sure, just remember that whatever color you used for the Berries or if you're painting levels toe , try using the same color along with your leaves, and that's what I do. I'm adding these dining leaves here and there, and as you can see, sometimes I just pull my brush to get the leaves and other times I just make an outline and then fill it in with the color. So it's up to you. You can try both ways and see which you're more comfortable with for me, if I want to try some very different angles, I prefer to draw the line and then fill it in Andi for the more comfortable easier, and I just a press my brush and pull it out. I think that's enough number of leaves for now. We just act the stem and come back to the leaves that we want to add a few later to paint the stem. I want a darker greens or what I'm doing this. I'll take a little bit off corn operadora gold and mix it with my orderly prepared on sap green mixture. On this, we get a doctor or green, as you can see. It also switched to the smaller brush now being the stand, because I can get lines with this on first, I start off by connecting all the Berries together. One mean imaginary stem, and then I can join the leaves together to the means stem. You can just sit back and watch as I slowly paint all the stems. Or if you're painting with me, that's great just being along with me. By making these lines, I make sure they're not completely straight, but a little crooked and wonky. And sometimes there are gaps between the lines, and that's totally okay. I just dropped in lying here to depict the means stem and later weaken. Taken that according to what we need. I'm just joining some off these leaves to the stand, and I add some random lines here and there and, um, sometimes but leaves and sometimes without to make the main stem on the Sadako Shade off the same color because I want it to look more ticker and studio than the rest off the rest off the stand that we've already paid did. So I'm just mixing sap green with a little bit off Indigo and Quinn Ah, Crotone Gold as we did audio. But this time it's a little darker shape. That means I've taken less water for this again. As I said before, I don't want this time to be one long straight line. I wanted to be a little crooked, so I'm just adjusting that here and even the end. I don't want to be one flat line. I just wanted to look like it's broken, so I make sure it's a little wonky. I think I can add some more leaves around to make it a little more dense, and some leaves can be overlapping on the other. - Okay , I think we've painted enough number off leaves now, so the main thing that we still need to add is have you seen those flowery tips? But the blueberries have. I think that makes it very distinct, and we need to add that for that. I'm just taking a darker shade off in to go. That means I just take more and go and less water to create those instead, off adding just a single door. I just add a few dots, like as if I'm painting already tiny, flammable. I'm Adam at different spots in different Berries so that it looks like they're pointing in different angles. Make sure you make them very tiny and not too big and crowded because your belly's already so small you don't want to make it to big. Yeah, look at this one. This was a little too big. Maybe I just dab it off. Yeah, and this one is dog. So what I can do is just you with my finger on. Dial it down a bit. And if you feel there's too much water in your brush or this too much in to go and it's too dark, just dab off your brush on your road to shoot people or kitchen double. And yeah, we're almost done with this one. I just finish off adding the tips, toe these two Berries and then we're done with blueberries. 8. Cranberries: Let's have a look. A cranberry plant. As you can see, the bodies are reddish, almost maroon ish color that is, Ah, cooler kind of red. And you can see that the leaves are pretty tiny, Very cute little leaves, not too much bigger than the babies. And one more thing that you can observe is that the bodies are all clustered together, very tightly packed together, and the leaves are very close to the Berries. So we'll keep all of that in our mind when we paint the cranberries. Now. Okay, get ready. Toe pain, some crime with us for this act. Taken a mixture off the warm red and after a little bit off ultra Marine, I don't want it to look very bright, but a little on the darker side. That's why added the blue to red, and I made these tiny circles and filled them in and making them really close to each other because they're all plaster together. I make them look like they're overlapping one another by drawing time. Semi circles around the artery are painted bury this way. It makes it look more plaster and ends. It's okay if you leave little white gaps when you're painting the baby's because we're going to add one more layer over this. So it's totally okay if it's not completely filled with the kind of I've taken some green and added a little bit off red and tow it to make it a little dark. And these leaves are pretty tiny, so I'm just pressing my brush, lifting it. And that said, we have leaves no. As we observed all year, the leaves are very close to the Betty, so I'm adding more leaves closer to the Berries, and I'll add a few more on that side as well. Try bending your brush in different directions so that you get leaves, which appointing in different angles. We don't want them all to be pointing upwards, so just make sure you you can either tone your paper or you can move your brush also in no different angles. I think that's enough number off leaves we can at this stem now, and we also need to connect all of the's but varies by little lines and then connect the leaves to the stem on. Yeah, let's do that now. I made this time a little darker at the bottom. And as we go up, we can make it to Tarantino. I'm still using the size six, so the bigger brush for this time, but you can switch to a smaller brush, but I really like how this brush comes to such a nice fine point. I'm just agony, little dashes and lines here and there, not connecting them mom very neatly or anything. And you can also see that my brush is almost fully straight when I'm painting these lines because I want them 10 and I won't just the tip off the brush toe touch the people. That's why when I want Britain lines, I off brushes almost perpendicular to the people, whereas when you're painting the leaves, it's so almost at a 60 degree angle, I'm just adding a few lines here and there. Nothing go in a particular order or anything, just connecting the Berries and adding a few lines. You can see that I don't at the line so very neatly or in one straight line, or you can also see that all of the bodies are not touching the stem, and that's totally okay. Looks like it's a crowded and in a bunch. Let me make this time on till go. I just want to show the tips off these bodies. So I'm mixing a little bit off when Ah Crotone Gold. Or you can use any kind of brown with red so that I can get a little darker, more natural, kind of Fred. I'm putting these little dots on the Berries. If it's a little romance, you condemn off with your finger so that it blends a little bit. And when a man in these dots, also on each barium putting intern, are different direction so that it shows that they're growing in all angles, as you can see, have also switched to a smaller brush toe at the steps so you can do it but the big, precious well. But I think this is more comfortable because you want to act very tiny dots and one more thing. Make sure your Berries are completely dry when you're doing this advice. Devil completely mixed with the Berries. So yeah, that's it. We're done painting cranberries now 9. Indian Gooseberries: Let's have a look at the Indian gooseberry plant. So one of the most distinct feature that you can see here is that the Berries have a very light yellow yellowish greenish color on. They have brown little brown tips to them, and the most interesting thing are the leaves. So the leaves off these Indian goes very plans are very different from the normal gooseberry plant. So that's why I chose this, because it would be an interesting way to paint a different kind of leave. And we can answer. Try looking at the normal gooseberry planned. You can see that the babys are very similar. They have those little 10 lines with him there, and we'll make sure we depict that the leaves off this one are a little different. They almost similar to the hot on very leaves. So if you want to paint specifically this one, you can have a look at the leaves that we painted in the other class, and you can combine them together to paint to us. But here we'll be painting only the Indian gooseberries to paint these gooseberries. I've taken green gold along with sap green, but don't worry if you don't have green gold. You can make sap green along with a bed off lemon yellow to it and make it as transparent as you can. I want this branch diagonally downwards, so I'll keep that in mind while painting the Betty's. You can bring it in any direction you want, but this what I had in mind. So I make sure I mean the leaves pointing downwards. And even though whose Berries going downwards, I just mean could off so good and then fill that in with the column. So if your circle is not completely around, it's okay. Like you can change it a bit after you fill the calorie. Remember, we don't want this layer toe be buried up. We want this to be as transparent as possible because we're going to add one more lee off lines on this. And if you make this dark, your your lines will not be seen over it. So just make sure you add a little more war going to color and bring it down toe a lighter shade, and it's okay if it's too light, because then we can make a darker with the lines. One thing you can himself here is that although all the Berries are painted with the same color, they have a little radiation in the tones and all of them. You can see that some off them are really lighter on some a little darker. It is always nice to have this variation because it gives it a more natural effect, like some off them are really young Berries and some old ones. So make sure you add a little more water to your color sometimes and little lesser other times. Now that we're done with the bodies, we can continue with this time for this. I'm taking one, Ah, Crotone Gold and mixing it with the ordinary present brown in my palette on a little bit of submarine. I'm just add little dots at the tips off these Berries so you can add them at any point because it's a circle and just make sure you put it in different directions so that it looks like it's going in our Langlands one. Nothing that I wanted to tell you is Doe. I painted the very stagnant downwards. I didn't meet them in one straight line. I made him look as random as possible, and one of them is even overlapping with another. So make sure you create this a randomness in your painting. I usually start by painting the little stems from the Berries and then go to the main big one. So I have this in mind that the stem, the main stem is diagonally downward. So I point all these little lines towards that to paint the means time. I just make a doctor ocean off the same mixture by taking more quinacrine own gold and mixing it with the green well on the second layer on the Berries later, because I want them to be fully driving before the second video. So that's why I started off with this damn, and we'll go back to the babies after they're fully dry. I mean, this times a little crooked. I don't put them in one straight line. Andi, when you're making these stems, just be careful that you don't paint over the Berries, but right next to it, like it's behind the bellies, like only some parts of it are peeping out. I'll make some more sap green along with the brown in my palette toe. Make the leaves so it's OK if you're sapping makes us with a little bit off the brown. That's Argentina palette. That gives it a more party. Look, I have lots of fun bathing these leaves. I make a rough line first and then make the's literally flats by just pressing down my brush and lifting it, and I do the same thing on the other side. Let me fix this first, so we are just press and quickly lifted and slightly bend it so that we don't have believe in just one street line. We'll try that again. Just draw a rough line. It may not be a very bold straight line. Just make it a little carving and then press your brush and lift it. So even when you're taking the pain, don't take the paint only at the tip off your brush. But the whole brush should be filled with beamed, so let's label sleep like goose. It looked like there are some parts off the leaves hidden behind the Betty, and that's good, since this is like the end off the branch. I don't want the leaves to be very bacon prominent, so I just me tiny ones just draw crooked line and added very fuel flats here. I think we can add a few more leaves on dog. I hope you got an idea of how to do this. It's pretty easy. If oh, you're struggling with it, just make sure you're being thes. Leave separately first in a different piece of paper and then come back to it to make these leaves look more natural and flexible and fluid. You can feel free to move your paper different angles and directions, and you can also observe that even with my breath brush and sometimes press it at an angle for the same reason. Let's try to balance this out and add a few more leaves on the other side. Actually, painting these gooseberries is bringing back so many childhood memories. We used to dip these Betty's insult and then eat it, and immediately after that, we used to drink water on the border. Actually tastes really sweet. When you do that, you should definitely try it. A few norm done it so far and just add a few more leaves in front, not only to yeah, so this makes it look like the rest of the leaves have fallen off, and I think this makes it look more natural. Just end this by adding a few more leaves here at the end, you can see some gaps between the letter leaves and the main line in the middle. Right? We can just add those together. I mean, we can just absolutely lines to bring them together, but don't make it very prominent, just random lines here and there. I think that's enough number off leads. We can add the second layer on the babies now, so I just take the same green gold mixture that I used. Only you and I watered it down. First, just dab off some off the color on your tissue and make sure it's pretty light and not buried up, because that's what the baby's looked like. See, this one is a little too dark. Let's try to light in that later. But I adapt off my brush a little bit, and you know it's not bad, Doc. Just wipe off the dock one onto your tissue. But you should also remember one thing that watercolors dry lighter, which means what the colors look like when they were, is exactly know what it looks like in the final outcome. That means, once it's dried, looks much lighter than what it looked like when it was so wet. So keep that in mind when you're painting with watercolors and just figure it out slowly by trying different tones off the same kind of while painting these lines, you can observe that I first being the middle nine, almost trade. And then I point, make the others slightly tenor and pointing towards the middle one. I had painted this very a little darker, the first layer. So I think that's why we're not able to see the second layer security. But that's okay, well, not meddle with it, so yeah, that's it, we're done. 10. Juniper berries: Let's talk about Juniper Betty's. These Berries look almost like blueberries, right? They have a dusky, bluish Carlo, not a very bright blue. And you can see that One difference this has from the blueberries is the kind of leaves they have. They have any spiky leaves, almost like thorns on. We'll remember to depict that. And these babies also have dark lately tips on them. So we showed that s better to paint. The juniper Berries have taken a little bit off indigo, and I'm mixed Ultra Marine a net to make it a little more bluish. I started by making little seven circles. And as you can see, it is pretty dark here right now. So take a little more into go if it's too light and made these dark semi circles once you know that, take a clean, moist brush. I took the other two no brush and clean it properly first. Once it's fully clean, just take a little bit of water in it. And when the other part off the same, it's open. It's still wet. Just pull all that color from that to the whole room circle, and I'll just add a little drop off into going ahead so that it gives a little radiation and that let's try that again. Take a clean brush, filled the semicircle and pull some off the paint and then add a little bit off in the garden. And if there's so much more doing the bed in, just, um, wipe your brush and then that your brush again. This will suck out the water from the body. Let's try that again. We can make our 70 circles in different directions. I make a few semi circles and then I'll act the water in it. But you should be careful while doing this. You don't want oh being to completely dry, and if that happens, then pulling the pain will be a little harder on a little messier. So just be quick where you're doing this, and you might also get hard lines if it's fully dry and you want the whole thing to blend smoothly into each other and you don't want those hard lines. So that's why it's always better toe work. When the paint is still wet on your people, I'll just continue adding a few more Berries. Maybe I'm just at some that look like they're overlapping with the other berry. So we can just add semi circles, not for love so good and yeah, that's it. So we have another Barre now, and this adds depth to the whole painting. I'll do that again. I just add a semi circle on and fill that in. And maybe I just add one more baby and that's enough. We can know After this we can paint the leaves. You see how? Adding those little drops off indigo later when the paint was still wet added so much depth to the whole painting. And these fruits look, look so much more lively than just adding one bland color to it. I'm trying to mix the proper green for the leaves. These are a little darker in color, so I'm mixing a little bit off into go to the stab green to make a talker so you can see already. It's a cooler, darker green mixture that we have now. Painting these leaves could be a little tricky, and you have to move pretty fast being these sleeves, so just make sure your brush isn't too dry or too wet, and you just flick your brush here and there. As you can see, I'm just pulling it out quickly, and sometimes you see the line is not completely formed, and there are these dry brush strokes there, and that's totally okay and gives it a more natural look. I'm simply flicking the brush in all directions, so you should lose a lot of control by while painting these. If you're doing it very slowly, you'll get very need symmetric lines, and that's not what we want here. So just practice a bit. Just try moving a brush really fast and stop worrying about water to look like in the end and just home. Be very quick with this. When the paint is still wet on, just add a little more depth toe these leaves by just adding some off the dog green here and there and a little bit off it marched into the berry. But that's okay. We can remove that, or if it's not so much, we can leave it like that. I just filled the spaces between the Berries with some leaves, and it's the same thing. We just adding random strokes. I'll just bring them together, but one small stem and maybe I add a few more leaves to make it look more raw food. I think I just add a few more leaves at the bottom. I really like how this one found out. The leaves actually look so spiky and like it is going toe poke you any moment you touch it . And that's exactly what Oh, what we want to show in this painting. Okay, I think I just remove some off that green that has pleaded in tow. The Betty and I just take a clean brush, a moist one, and just wipe it, pull it and wiped off my tissue paper. And I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just trying to fix it. And I added a little bit off indigo, but maybe I had winded. Maybe it was better off just like that. So, yeah, every painting has something to teach you. And, yeah, there are so many mistakes that we make with each painting, and we wish we hadn't done that, but that's totally okay. And, um, it's all about the process. So and then this doesn't look so bad also, So it's OK, and most of the time it's as who criticize our own paintings too much. And when somebody looks is dead as a whole, they don't find these little false in it. But because we know every part of our painting, we see the mistakes more often in it. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm just adding these little dips to the babys. Have just taken a little bit off Canal Crotone gold and added to the green and just adding little dots on them. And when you're doing this, just make sure that your painting I mean the Berries are fully dry. Otherwise we'll just make the same mistake and the brown will just blend into the whole blue painting. And when you add in these daughter, also just add them in different locations so that it looks like the Babys are facing in different angles. So, yeah, that's it. We're done with this painting 11. Hawthorn berries: Let's have a look at hot on bodies. As you can see, these bodies are be bread and callow, and we should keep that in mind. Why? Nothing that you can observe is the leaves are a little different in structure, and we have to depict that. One more thing is the Betty's have these little black tips to it, which makes it look very different from the other bodies. And one more thing is the step looks very story and is a brownish in color. And let's make sure we showed that in our painting to paint hot on bellies. We need all red, which is not too bright a little on the darker side. So what I'm going to do is I'm taking the warm red and mixing a little bit off ultra Marine Annette to get a dark, maroon ish kind off Tikolo. Oh, I forgot to mention I'm using the bigger brush your that is the size six brush for the Berries, and I'll be using the same for believes as well. And maybe for the stem, we can switch to a smaller brush. We'll start with the baby's first. I make these little circles and then fill them with the cargo S o. I just want very few off them tested together, not a very big bunch. So I leave little gaps in between and me. The circles. Remember to hold your brush almost like a pencil closer to the dip because you want to definite shape. You're not a very loose structure. When you're painting these Berries, it's OK if you don't fill the whole thing completely with the color. If there are white spaces and between, it's totally fine because it will look like this light falling on it on. That makes it look more natural to make the tip off these Berries. I makes a little bit off Sinatra. Don't gold with the green that I only really have on my palette. If you don't have any clean there, you can take sack dream. So I make this mixture because I wanted Dan down the brown a little bit, and when you're making the tapes, just just gently touched the end off your brush to do a circle. Just one side of the circle is, and now I'm not made a big circle or anything there. I'm just just drawing little lines over there. I don't want to be too big and prominent on day. One more thing. Remember, toe. Let your Berries dry first before adding this. But if it's a little right, it's OK. But make sure it's not completely wet. When you're doing this, we can want to the leaves now for this. What I do is I take sap green and the already mixed red. I take a bit off that and add to this screen to give it up. Dr. Stone. So what I do is whenever I'm painting something like this, I make sure I add a bit off the similar color to it. So I feel this makes it look a little more soothing to dies. Painting these leaves a super fun. So as you can see what I just did it, I pressed my brush and made many leave and just stacked those many leaves together. And we have another leaves. Okay, let's try that again. Maybe I'll turn the paper to make it a little easier. So make these many leaves, like what you generally do and keep little gaps in between them and, um, more of a wider gap in the middle and we're done. We'll try that again to true, full and again on Decide. That's it. The upper part looks a little empty, so and add some small leaves on top and maybe a few more on top because it looks pretty empty. So it's not like you have tow. Add the leaves in some particular order or in a specific position or anything. Just do what you feel makes more sense. So, for example, here on the left, I thought, If I add another leave, it might look a little more better with all those Berries and look a little more crowded there, which is what I want, because I want to make it look a little wide. So use your discretion on and make it as wild or Assam bless you want and switching to a smaller brush now paying the stems. I started by connecting all the baddies together, so I made a little lines and those we kind of structures to bring them together. Now that we're finished connecting all the Berries, I add some little lines on dock next to the Betty, and this makes it looked like some off the babys have fallen down and I really like to create that effect. My paintings, I just draw a thin line to get a 90 off where I want my stem to be. And later I will make that pick up. I'm just connecting all the leaves to the main stem. And by doing this, I make sure I don't ab just simple straight lands. But I make it a little crooked and flowing in different directions. Now that we have the complete structure and trying to fast, we can take in the stem and make it a little doc. Oh, so while makes a little bit off the red with the green on, just go over that line that we already painted and make it a little wonky so that it looks like a story that could stand there. We almost done. Now I just add a few lines here in there, showing these empty tweak, kind off things and maybe a few leaves on top small ones and yeah, that's it. You could also make the leaves look a little more detailed by Addington lines to the Big Wayne's on them. But I think I'll leave it like this because I just wanted to be simple and easy to fall for everyone and more off a loose kind of thing. Not very realistic kind of painting. So, yeah, that said, we're done with this now. 12. Strawberries: Let's have a look at why it strawberries. You can see that they're very similar to go normal strawberries that we get in grocery stores, but a little smaller, and you can see these bangs in the plant so they all drooping downwards. So that would be a nice thing that we can add in our painting and you can see the little ones off. These Berries are green and color almost yellowish green, and we can add a few off doors as well. And the leaves off these Berries are a bit different than the normal ones are a little ruffled, and we'll make sure we add Dr Swell. So let's get started to being the strawberry plant. I'm just taking a little bit off Quinn Rose and mixing it with the bright red. And on the other side. I take a little bit off new gun Borj because I wanted to be a little yellowish, reddish kind of strawberries. I take my big brush and start off with the yellow part. First, I just add a very tin layoff yellow. Add more water to dial it down a bit, and you don't want Toby to Wiebe rental. Prominent and with the same brush, I take a little bit off the red mixture. You need not wash your brush while taking this, because anyway, this yellow in your painting. So it's totally fine, and I just allow it to bleed through into the yellow. And as you can see, I created these tiny triangular kind of structure. Do that again here. Just make it a little triangular and allowed the red toe bleed into the yellow. And, um, just allowed the yellow also to be seen. Don't meddle with it too much. Let's try that again. Take some yellow and make this circular kind off structure first. On the remaining part, we can take red and fill that into me triangular structure and gently allowed the red toe bleed into the yellow. Let's do it once more, ready little yellow and you can actually make an outline and fill that in. If that's easier for you, something like this. Just make a triangular outline and then filled Latin with the red. And here we have done for this one. I also want to show off you unripe Berries, so what I'll do is I'll take more off the yellow and I watered it down and I'm making the whole berry with the yellow, unlike the previous ones. And I'm making pretty small ones because I want to me. This looks like they're very young and they're on Dr. And so this I add my green. I have ah, green gold yellowish mixture already on my palette on just adding that on top. One thing that you need to be careful about your is that after adding the first layer, that is after we added the yellow. We have toe quickly at the green to it because once this dries, then adding the green wouldn't be so nice because it won't blend so smoothly with the color . And we'll get these hard lines on it, especially if you're not using 100% cotton paper. Then the paper dries very quickly on, and in such cases you have toe being pretty fast. We left this first layer completely dry before we add the text shown these strawberries. Until then, we can paint the leaves a painting the leaves and just makes sing. You go on board along with sap green to give me a yellowish kind of green to paint the strawberry leaves. I'm just making little brush marks that we usually do for leaves, but along with that, I just add little spiky things over it so that it is a little different from the usual leaves. Begin at a little bit off green at the corners and watch it beautifully blend within the leave. Let's try another leave. I'm just making these bikey things. As I put it down. Try to make your strokes as lose as possible. Just gently press your brush and quickly lift it. Let's add more leaves at the bottom, and as we go up, we can add. Small believes as thes leaves dry. We can add some off these green leafy heads over the strawberries. For this, I'm switching to a smaller brush, and I'm using the same green that I used earlier. And I'm making these gentle marks over the bodies and just gently touch it and flick it around in all directions and some off it can overlap over the Betty and, you know, let's do that again. Once we're done with this, we can warn toe painting the stem for the stem. I still use the small brush because I want the stem off the strawberries to be predicting I'm starting from the bottom. Oh, it's up to you. You can start from any bear. Generally, I start from the dog, but I don't know. Sometimes I just like to switch things up. Well, with this poor Berry was missed out. I'll just add the green leaf eating on top of that. I'm just joining all of these leaves to the main stem Right now. I don't mind having many lines there because it makes it look a little like it's drooping down. Even now, when they're painting the stem for the Betty's, we want to make it look like the Berries are actually drooping down. So I'm gonna make inverted you kind off structure with this stem on. This makes it look like the Berries are heavy and the stem is a little tin, so they're hanging down like this. Let's do that again. Even when I'm making this inverted you kind off line, you can see that it's not completely street or anything. And don't try to make it all look straight and meat. We want to make it look wild, so it's OK if it's a little crooked. And if they me that dumb, very weird angles, that's totally fine. To paint these 10 lines, I hold my brush almost perpendicular to my paper. So this way, when only the tip of the brush is touching the people you get, wear eat and fine lines. I think we can add a few more leaves on dog we can. I'm just tiny leaves there will make sure we don't add very big ones because we don't want to make it look too crowded on top. And now not the other leaves have dried as well. We can just add a few on top of that and make it look like some leaves are from about the rest. You can see that by making these overlapping leaves. It adds so much depth to your printing, and it makes it look so much more natural. Maybe I'll just add one more at the border. Once we're done with the bodies weakens, which taught in a brush on, we can continue adding go details on the strawberries. We don't want to leave it just like that, right? We need to add some texture over it, so I just take red and whatever is there in my palette, very little amount of fit, or I are lots of water to turn it down, and I'll just add tiny dots over the Berries. I don't want this to be a very dark red and just I little lines here and there. Don't add it in rows or anything, and sometimes it can be dot. Sometimes it can be a line just added in random places. Whenever you think your brush has too much pigment and you're getting a very dark color, you can just dab off some off it on your kitchen double, and this will give you a lighter color. That's what I keep doing frequently for the young. Green Berries will add green dots, so I take a very light washing off the green that I have the green gold mixed show that I had used audio. Take very little off that and do the same thing. Just add little lines here and there. We just wait for all of those lines to dry. Till then, maybe I can add a few lines over the leaves to give it some texture. Just a pin stroke in the middle. Don't make it to take, and sometimes if you're brushes to wait, you might get a decline. And for that, as I said, on your just dab off your brush on, you'll get the right amount. I'm just adding baby pin strokes. I'm using a white gel pin here, and I'm adding these little dots over the little red lines that we added. All your you need not add the white dots everywhere, but I'm just adding it in random places, mostly about the line that we just added. This gives it more texture to the whole body if you don't have a jape, and you can use a white water color and use a very thin brush to make the dots. Or you can use white wash as well because that is much brighter than white water color. And, yeah, that's it. We're done. The painting Wild Strawberries 13. Rosehips: Let's have a look at Rosa Betty's. These Berries are a little conical in structure, not completely around on. You can see that at the end off these Berries. There are these brown, Harry like structure, and we need to depict that because that's the most distinct thing. And you can observe that thes Bettys are not a large number of them together. They're just like 23 or four of them clustered together, and we'll showcase that. So, yeah, let's start painting these Berries to paint row sips have taken bright red and makes a very little bit off green in it To dial it down a bit, I started by making little egg shaped structures, and it's point your dog on a little too good at the bottom. I just making all Klein and then fill that in. We can try that again. I want this painting to give a more wintry wipe, so I'll be adding more Berries and Leslie, it's like it's in winter when all the leaves have fallen off. So I'll continue adding lots off such Berries all over the paper. I make sure at these Berries in all different directions, and you can also see that on the top I leave it a little blunt. I do this because I want to add those Harry structures on a Plato so just made these egg shape structures and leave the upper part so that we can add details later toe that I just can't new adding a lot more babies. So I'll speed up that part of the video. Now. I guess that's enough number of babies for now. If you want to add more, we can add later after we add this stem and the leaves. So we'll, um, switch to painting the stem. I'm just trying to get the right brown toe being this time. I want oh, pretty dark brown because it's a winter depiction. So I want the stem Toby to look pretty study and and Doc. So I take a lot off submarine and mix it with the red. And as you can see, I'm getting away. Very nice, Doc Brown, by just mixing these two colors. I think this is a good color. Will continue with painting the stems. Now let me start by adding lead steps to these bodies, so I'm using the same brown for that and I just gently touch my brush to the paper and the make these tiny lines. So don't press your brush too hard on the people. Andi, hold you brush almost like a pencil. And just make these little marks which look Harry on it. Switching what to know Brush really help you get final lines for this and for some, off the bigger Berries like this one, you need toe, add more lines and make it look more fluffy. Let's just continue adding these things to all of the Berries. And after that, we can start with the stem. So just simply watched me paint all of these Haley things. Now, one thing that I could mention earlier is that I've kept a lot of space in between the Berries in the middle off the painting. Andi, this is because I want my main stem to go there. So just keep that in mind where you want your main stem, Toby on the put your Berries around that. Okay, we're done with almost all the babies. Now, tomorrow into the stem, I'll be using the same brown mixture. And remember, this is a winter depiction back means will be painting our painting more off the stem than the leaves, so I'll keep the leaves for the end. And when you painting the stem, remember one thing you don't want just straight lines meeting each other. You want some crooked lines. And for this, what I do is I just shake my brush a little buddy. I'm pulling it down, and one more thing will be adding a lot off lose lose stems That means like something like twigs, whether on old leaves are any Berries on them. And I feel this gives a very natural effect to the whole painting, and I use that a lot if you feel that your your lines are not asked in, Is this maybe your brushes too much more door? And that's why you're getting ticker lines. So I tried dabbing off your brush to the kitchen double. I mean, just touch the tip of your brush to the kitchen table so that it sucks Texas water and then dry painting that you might get in our lines than before and even the other ways possible. Maybe the pain that the paint mixture that you have a stewed dry and you're not getting ready Smooth, continuous lines for this. Just add a little bit of water to your mixture. And yeah, it takes a while to get to know the consistency that you need with watercolors. But it will take its time and given, definitely figure it out. So don't worry or stress too much over this and just have fun doing the whole process. You can see that I created that in some outline for the means stem, and I think in this later. So once I have an idea where the means Stamets, I can connect all off the Berries toe that. So that's why wouldn later if I need, I will make a thinker. You can also observe how I hold my brush. Sometimes it's completely upright, almost perpendicular to the paper. This is when I get a very 10 point and get ready 10 strokes, and sometimes I worry, bend it a little bit. So I keep wearing these 10 and take strokes throughout the stem. I take my own sweet time toe paint these stems I would very slowly, and it's kind off like therapy for me. And sometimes I'm just watching Netflix and I'm just drawing these lines everywhere be done with painting a major part of the stem. Right now, we can just take a break and at some leaves, get an idea about the whole painting and then come back toe, completing the stem to paint the leaves. I just added sap green to the brown mixture that was on my palette. So the brown that you used earlier for this time you could take a little bit off that and mix it with the submarine. In this way, it does down the green a bit and makes it look less are deficient. And we wonder dog green for these leaves. That's why have you taken this mixture? I'm adding these time. He leaves here and there. I'm still using the size three brush, so I get these tiny leaves, and in some places, as you can see, I've added leaves over the stem. Andi, it's a good way to create depth and your painting that way. And also when you're adding that leaves, just add them in random places and you don't want it to be in some particular order are arranged neatly one next to the door, anything and make sure you don't add too many leaves because, as I said, Are you? We don't want it to be a very summery kind of painting, some adding very few leaves here and there. Let's just join all of the's so leaves together and to the mean stand. And later, if we feel like we need to add more lease will come back to that. I want to continue adding those stem and finishing the lower part off this painting. Okay, we're almost done. I just join this stem to the mean one. And as we go down, we make the main stem a little more thicker. And, yeah, that's it. Maybe you don't talk whether our two Berries we could add a few leaves because it looks so pretty empty there. I'll just take a little bit off the green that we already have and make thes tiny beeves here and there. That's not at too many off them, and that's it. We're done with this 14. Raspberries: Let's have a look. A wild grass buddies. They are a bright, pinkish kind off red, and as you can see, they have to use some ruffle leaves leaves, which are little spiking on the site. And even their stem is a bit tourney and the tips off the off. The bodies are also bit ruffled, so we'll make sure we depict all off that in our painting. So let's get started. Let's being some rest. But he's no to paint. Last cities have makes Quinn opera Don rose along with bright red, and I wanted to be more on the pinkish side, so I added a little bit off red compared to the rose color, and I've watered it down. A lord and I start by making these little triangles and then filling that in. If you think there's too much color, you can just oh, pull it out with your brush and dab your brush to a kitchen double like a just adjusted, and that will make it much lighter. And, yeah, keep adding lots of water for you to think it's too dark because we it's still our forest layer, and we want it to be pretty light. Make sure you leave some white gaps when you're painting these. So, like when I'm feeling this, I just leave some space this in between without filling it with the color. This gives a nice radiation, and it makes it look like there some light falling on the fruit on one side and the other side is a little taco. I'll just continue adding more off these Betty's. As you can observe, I'm keeping on my Berries on the left and I add the add more leaves on the right. But that's just up to you. You can compose it the way you want. I just wanted to look like all of them are drooping on one side. That's why I'm doing this. But, yeah, you can have them all over the page and then add the leaves and stem as well. Okay, I think that's enough Betty's to make the green for the leaves. I'm just taking the red mix that we had on adding submarine to it. This way, we get a very dark, almost brownish green on. That's what I want, and it makes it look much more natural than using Sabirin directly. I generally don't use any off these colors statically because they have this very bright Weibring color, and it just looks to artificial for me. So always makes it with any off the colors that already on my palette or some off these complementary colors to give it a more brownish color. So you have to explore and find out what kind of green you like, and maybe you like a very bright green, but that's totally fine. But on this is what I like. I like to dumb it down a bit and make it look more Audie. So just see which color suits you and try experimenting by mixing different colors. And you can also come up with your own greens by mixing different kinds of your laws and different kinds of blues. Okay, I got a little carried away and I didn't mention what I just did. I just added a little bit off green over the top off the bodies to create those little leafy structures, and I used very little green for that. And now for the leaves, I'm just making it a little more dot by adding more off the same mixture and don't toe pain . These leaves. I'm just making small leaves and bring them together. That means I'm just making these little leaves next to each other and leave those spiky ends. So we get these roughly looking leaves. I'm just adding more and more leaves on the right side because I want to fill that side with the leaves on. As you can observe, the leaves at the bottom are a little bigger than the leaves at the top. This is because I just want to make it look like the leaves at the base are older. Andi, the ones that dog are smaller and younger leaves. That's why, on door by ad dining leaves and also make sure that when you're adding these leaves, they are pointing in different directions. And sometimes you can see that I believe white gaps between the leaves and you need not go back and correct it. That's totally fine. It makes it look more wired. It's always nice toe baby, the colors that you're using. So maybe I just makes a little bit more off green, make it a little more docker and being some off believes a little darker than the doors And , um, yeah, this variation gives a more natural look to the painting. These leaves are almost similar to what we paint in the strawberries class, So if you're not already taken that class, this will be nice. Sweet warm up for that. And you have already done that. Then this is a good practice for you to make your leaves lose and more ruffled. I'm just mixing a little bit off Quinn Ah, Crotone Goal to, though on repressing green mixture, I want the stem to be a little more on the brownish side. So that's why I make this a little darker brown and I start with this stem and at the base I make sure it's a little ticker, and I'm just moving upwards and you can see that the thickness off the stem keeps waiting and different points. And sometimes there are gaps between the lines and the lines are all a little crooked. And, um, just try to achieve this pain you're painting because it gives it a more natural look. You can see that I've added a few random lines here and there. We can go back and add a few tiny leaves on them, or we can lead them bad. And just as it is, this makes it feel like some off the Berries or leaves have fallen down. And I like to give that effect in my paintings. I'm just connecting all off the Berries and leaves. Toe means them right now and yeah, just as I said, only I just keep reading the thickness off this damn everywhere. You can also see that sometimes I'm using just green for the stem. And this way we can allow the brown and green toe bleed into each other in the painting itself rather than mixing it before I think we can add some more leaves, maybe on the left and a little on the top. You just act tiny leaves. We don't want ready big leaves on the doll. You don't want very crisp meet leaves here. You want them to be lose. And for this you can observe that when I hold the brush. I don't hold it at the time I hold it a little about That is about the golden thing that the Beirut and this gives me lose strokes. You can also try not touching your risk to the paper to your table this way, you can get loser strokes sometimes. It also helps if you stand up and paint without touching your list to the table on your paper, and you can get better loser strokes that way. So try different techniques and see what makes you get loser strokes. Maybe for some people. If you use your non dominant hand, you get loser strokes, so we just have fun and try out different things while you're painting. I'll add some random lines on. Maybe some wanes for some off the leaves, not all of them, Just to add a little bit off detail. Do it just a swift stroke. Nothing. Don't need an accurate or anything. Now that the first layer off the Berries are dry, we need toe. Make it look more like raspberries. So that's please have these bumpy structures to depict that What we're doing. This We're adding these little semi circles all over the first layer, and these are very need semi circles or anything. Just call Glines. And at the end, although I don't want to be a need triangular structure, so I just add more lines at the corners and sometimes the lines can be a little darker and sometimes a little lie door and try to leave a lot off white spaces between between those lines so that it looks more bumpy and gives that texture to the food. Let's do that again. Make little semi circles and know what's here and there and fill the holes space. With that. You can see that white space on the left, right? I try to keep it a little lighter on that side. On on my right, I add more are recto it this way. It makes it look like this light falling from the left side on the Betty. So the right side is a little darker because off the shadow, falling on it. So we're just it's much the right part of bed to make it look a little more doctor. We'll do that again for this one. So whatever bite spaces we already have, believe it like that will not feel that Andi, even while doing this, will try toe create a lot of space will not make it too crowded and well not. Don't add too many off these lines. We don't want the corners off these rasp. It is to be ready need and not there. Not like strawberries, where they have smooth edges. So we wanted toe be more bumpy. So I'm adding these little semi circles on all sides as well, not just in the middle. Let's do that again one more time. Just make little semi circles. Not very accurate ones just standing strong and assigned more to the left. I make it a little lighter, but adding badly gentle strokes. And I leave that white space just like that and all around the berry just make little semi circles toe. Give it a more fluffy look and you can just docked in some parts of the Betty. I'm just darkening only the right side. Just add little lines. Don't make it very prominent, and we just continue adding all of these semi circles on the rest of the Betty's. I'm just making some parts off it a little dot com. If you think there's too much water, you can just moving around or just much it a bit with your finger. This way, it becomes a little lighter and blend smoothly with the rest off the painting. Let me just continue adding these little strokes on all off the leftover Betty's. I'm just making 10 lines on filling that in, and I just speed up that part of the video. - So yeah, that's it. I just add a little bit off docker strokes here and there on both of these bed. He's just taking a little bit off darker red but less of water and just adding some Jenkins strokes, and then we're done. 15. Physalis/ Golden berries: So let's have a look at the fizz Alice plant or radical Faisal's facilities. I'm not sure, so I'm going to call them Cape Gooseberries. Oh, Gordon Berries. And to paint these we have. We can see that it is a bright orange in color on, and these are not exactly the Betty's. These are the cover off the Betty's, and this is what they look like in nature. So that's what we're painting, not the Berries exactly. And you can see this so much, texture them on these shells and don't. They're all pointing downwards, so we'll remember that on. One more thing is, the leaves are almost as big as the Berries, so we need to depict that as well. To paint these golden Berries, I've taken a mixture off red and a new converge to create this orange mixture. If you already have an orange in your paddle, then use that because that will be more vibrant than this. But you could dial it down a bit by adding, Oh, very little bit off reading it because you'd want that orange to look very artificial. I started by making these triangular stock choice. Oh, not exactly your street triangle, a little crooked one and then fill it in a little bit. As you can see, I leave a lot of wide gaps even by drawing the outline on and inside because I want toe. Make it lighter there so I'll just leave that one like this and create another one. So I make a triangular structure and then fill a little bit off it on the a proportion with some Carlo. Once I finish adding these little marks off or insurance there, I'm going toe wash my brush Charlie on. Take a clean, moist brush and pull all the colors that we've added to fill the rest off the triangle, so you should make sure that your paper is fully wet. When you're doing this. I mean your pain should be still where it shouldn't dry, so you should act fast during this step so that you can blend it smoothly. Even the outline shouldn't try to munch at the West. You'll get a very hard outline, but you don't want, so it's always better If you use 100% Corton paper, then it blends smoothly because it stays wet for a longer time. Otherwise just act fast. See here the painters almost dried, so I'm tryingto rabbit a little, which is actually not a good idea, because doesn't look very smooth. But yeah, I'm just adding a little water and trying to pull the pain, which is almost dry. And yet it's not that bad. Actually, we'll add some more bodies here and there. I just make the same triangles in different directions. I'm just being the outlines and feel a little bit off it. First and later, the clean brush. I pull the remaining paint. I'll also add a few lines, because if this dries, it's OK because anyway, we want to add a few lines over this. Let's try this again. Okay, I'll blend that before it fully dries. You can see how much Donald differences there in each of these little triangles by using this method so it's simple and a nice way to give some variation within each off your subject. So you can use this technique for row painting flowers or grow other fruits because it makes it look like this light falling on one side. And that side is a little darker because off shadow falling and it you could also make some parts off a docker. Oh, maybe I'll add a little bit off red on top, so you have to do this when it's still red, so it will give more room tonal radiation. I clean my brush and just pull the color that we already have to the rest off the triangle . One more thing that you can observe is that all of these structures have white gaps in between, so it's OK if you leave little gaps in between. And that look makes it look more natural to paint the broad leaves off. These plants have taken submarine and mixed it along with New Cambodge. This was already in my palette, so I took that and advise you can make a fresh mix off it. And while painting the leaves, I just don't press my whole brush and pull it. And because I want big leaves here I make a few off doors and bring together, and you can see I leave little white gaps, even but in the leaves that makes it look not so bland. Okay, I think that's enough number off leaves because these leaves are so big we don't want to add too many off them and make it look crowded. So start by adding the stem now and for this. I used when, ah Crotone gold and mixed it with the sap green to create a dark brown mixture. And I just add the's crooked lines here and there and, as you can see, but in the lines also, I have some gaps in between them on that makes it look more natural, and I painted. This means stem first, and then I'm connecting all off the fruits and the leaves to the head. I also forgot to mention that I'm using a smaller brush to paint the stems. You can use a bigger one if that is more comfortable for you. I'll pull these times a little bit in judo fruit so that it looks like it's coming from the middle and it's carrying the weight off the whole fruit. I'll just add a few more lines and bashes here and there. Don't make it look more wild. And once we're done with that, we can want the second layer off these Berries, so basically have one these Berries to be fully drive. Before I moved to the second layer That's why I painted the leaves and stem before that, and after that we will move to adding the lines on it. I take the same orange mixture in my small brush and better stem ends. I add a little bit off darker shade there. And then I dropped in lines moving downwards across the triangle, and these lines are from north straight lines, and they are little ticker at some points and little to no at some. And sometimes this gaps in between the lines, and that gives it a nice texture to the whole thing. I'll continue adding these thin lines on all off these Berries. It's so much easier to add these lines with this tin no size three brush, and I really enjoy doing this at the point where the stem meets the fruit. I make it a little darker and a small SoCal, and then I draw the lines. As I said, All your these lines are very random, and the art room just strokes on it. It's not like you have to draw straight where the accurate lines and very carefully just gently touch your brush and just pull it downwards towards the and towards the end. Off the triangle, you can see how much of a difference these lines already made. So when you add these final touches like these little lines, it gives life to the whole painting. You can actually feel like these fruits are popping out of the people now, right? I'll just end this by adding a few lines over the leaves, using the same green that we used audio and maybe some tiny leaves here and there, and then we're done. 16. Blackberries / Mulberries: Let's have a look at black bodies. These bodies are bluish, almost black and color, and you can see his little Harry kind of things coming out of the Berries and you can see that they're fluffy nature almost surrounded. And this time is looking a little tourney, and we make sure that we showcase that. We can also have a look at my buddies. They look very similar to black bodies, but they're a little more elongated than them. So, using the same technique that will be learning in this class, we can also be not mulberries. So for now, we'll only be painting blackberries. Let's stop painting some blackberries for this. I'm taking into go and adding it into my palate and mixing it with a lot of water. As you can see, I added thing to go directly. So something that was there on my pounded. Actually, that's totally okay, because here we're not doing something very realistic. Where I believe the exact color, we are making it look more natural. So it's OK if the color is a little more muddy or little party like this. And right now I just added a little bit of trouble going toe to make it look a little more blue ish. I started by making these tiny circles one next to the other. If you think there's so much paint on your brush, just dab it off gently on your kitchen double. You see that I leave a lot of wide gaps in between and I'm making. These circles are very close to each other, but they're not. Each one is not ready. Me then. It's not like the arranged in one particular rule or anything. I mean, it's still red. I just add a few drops off into go here and there. This might just look like one block right now and looks pretty shapeless, but the advance we add the rest off the plant. We just know what this looks like. For now. I'm just adjusting the corners. I'm just making more semi circles so that the corners are not very smooth and triangular. Let's do the same thing for this bed. Yes, very as you can see, I don't make ready perfect circles or anything. I'm just making it look like circles and I believe a Lord off white spaces in between, and you can see it some parts. It's a little darker on some region and a little light on on some science, and that's what we wanted to be. I'm just making it look more rounded. Let's do that again. For another berry make tiny circles next to each other. Some are a little thicker and some little Tina and make it a little triangular. Onda Hettleman Circular. I want the stalk off the baby to come here, so I'll just leave some gap down there. I'm just mixing submarine on my palette by this, a little bit off brown. So I get oh kind of green, and I'm making these genital marks at the tips off the Berries. I wanted to look a little bit, Terry, so I gently touch it with with my brash. I don't press it too hard on. Leave the tip off the brush and just pull it, and it may not be very accurate or anything. Some off the lines can be Docker and someone little. Now, that's totally okay. I'll just make a little marks, your little lines and dots such that it looks like the flower has fallen off there. I just want to make it look wild and natural. That's why I do this. Okay, let's continue adding the stock for this Betty. Just little lines and yeah, that's it. Don't meddle with it too much. Well, no one more off that. I think that's enough number of babies keeping it quite simple here. It's just mixed the sap cream along with a little bit off Sinatra. Don't gold. Give it another team makes to make the leaves. I start by pressing my whole brush on the paper. And as you saw you, I dip my entire brush in the paint so that the whole brush has the color, not just the tape. And when I'm making these leaves also at the edges, I try to make it look a little more ruffled. So I just make a pointy at the ends and on the side. See, I make a regular leave, and then I meet these pointy things that, besides, so it looks more wild than a spiky, kind off leave. So just make a regular leave and then meet the spiky things on the side and at the tip you're done. I think I can add one more leave here at the bottom When Imam adding Lose, I try to make sure that each one is pointing in a different direction. This actually gives it a more wine look, then pointing all of them in the same side. Let's start with this time for this. I just made a doctor. Makes show the same thing that we used on you by adding a little bit more brown to it, and I just darken the steps. I've taken it to know Brush now have taken sized three brush because I want the stem to be a little more detailed. And then so Athena Brush helps me with that. I just make these crooked lines and, yeah, feel free to go back over the line. It's not like you have to get the straight line in just one stroke or anything. It's okay if it's a little crooked. Actually, it's better if it looks a little bit crooked, because that gives it a more natural look to it. I'm just add these bad and, um, things in between and just little ones here in there because this guy is a little spiky and more wild than the other plans that we are painted. So what I do is I just add these little lines here and there all through the plant. I just connect this Betty and the leaves. And as I go down, I want my stem to look a little more study. So what I do is, once I get an idea off, baddest m will be I'll just make it a little ticker. So when I go down, I press my brush completely down. So I get a ticker stroke there. I just add some little line. Maybe I can add one more. Leave your at the bottom. I changed the tick Abrash on just gently press press my whole brush and make these little spiky things at the corner. Wait, let me just lift off some off the color. I don't want this leave to be very dark and look very different from the leaves. And I just used that pain toe. Make the Corneau's Yeah, I think that's enough. I just can't do adding some lines here and there to give it a more rounded, roughly wild look. So let's just add a few lines and dots. Nothing very accurate. Nothing very need just kind of lines. Actually, you need not at so many lines all through those them. Maybe I'm just over doing good, but that's what that's the way I like it. And sometimes I don't know when to stop. So, yeah, it's up to you if you want to have so many lines or you can leave it don't have too many. And we can just act in Wayne's toe the leaves because they look a little love bland. Just strictly bullet a line on the leaves as we saw all your these black bodies have the least 10 Harry things on them. So I'm taking my size three brush and taking very little in the go I don't want. I don't want to brush to be too wet. It's pretty dry and MJ making these ready 10 lines on the sides, and it's not like it's there on each part off the fruit. It's just there in random places, and it's pretty eaten like you can't actually see it. But if you look closely only then you can themselves it. Now that the Berries are fully dry, I just I just want to give it a pop off color, so I'm just making these little lines and marks with the doctor shade off indigo. And as you can see, I'm not going over the whole berry again. Only random places. I'm just making these lines. And this adds more depth to the painting on. So yeah, that's it. We're done. 17. Yew Berries: Let's have a look atyou buries. These Berries are a deep red in color and the most distinct feature I would say our doors leaves. Those leaves are very spiky, and you can also see that the babys are very close to the leaves and Berries are all clustered together and will make sure that we depict that in our painting. And one more thing that you can see is the Betty's have those little holes in them, and inside that is pretty dark. So we make sure we make those holes and those dark things in the metal to paint these you Berries. I've taken a mixture off warm red and added a little bit off. Ultra Marinatto. Make it dark. Blaming these Berries is pretty simple, actually just made thes cylindrical structures and just leave a little gap on the top. And you're doing that so you can just make an outline and believe the top empty. Let's just try that again. Make a so cool and leave the top but the white and fill the rest off. I'm painting all these babies with the big brush that is the size six brush, and when we want to paint the Tinordi deals, we can switch to the sides. Three brush. As you can see, I'm just adding them in different directions, so you want to make it look like it's going wild. So make sure you add these Berries and all angles and directions and not in one straight line or all pointing upwards. I just add a few more babies here and there, and I speed up that part of the video. Now that we're done painting the Berries, I'll just make all proper green mixture for the leaves. I'm taking a little bit off our two Marine and mixing it with SAB green to give me a dark, bluish kind of green for the leaves. Maybe I'll take a little more off blue. Yeah, I think this is the right color that I want, so don't the bother too much about the exact color. We just know that the leaves are a little dark for this one, so we try to get it as closer to that as possible. But don't stress too much on getting the exact same color as you see in the picture. Painting these leaves could be a little difficult, especially if you're not so used to painting. Go in, lieu strokes. So when you're making these leaves, just try to lose control over your painting and just make these swift motions with your brush. Sometimes I moved a brush upward and sometimes downwards, so there's no particular ruler order for painting these. I'm just connecting all off those strokes that he made earlier together to bring it toe one big leave. Um, let's make it a little more dance at the bottom when the leaves are still wet. I take a little more off the green and just added at the base, and it beautifully bleeds into the leaves, and it also makes it look more dance at the bottom. Okay, let's try that again. I just make a small outline first, just to know where I want the leaves to be, and then just I just flick it upwards. And as you can see, I don't just do one on the left, one on the right. Around that line, I just randomly do it, and this is what makes it look more wild. Sometimes the lines are not even complete, but that's totally okay. That's actually good, so don't go back and try to fix each off the lines and sometimes paint the lines off, overlapping with the other ones, so that when it's still read, it bleeds and more just with each other and makes it look more dance. Okay, just fill the gaps between the bodies with some more random strokes like we did earlier. If a little bit off the green blends into the red off your Berries, it's totally okay. Don't worry too much over that. I think I'll add to mean stem. Now I want to mean stem to be a very story looking, So I'll take brown modern green and make it a little more to go to make the Brown. I've just added quinacrine own goal to the green that I already have. You can use any brown for this, and you can just dial it down a bit and make it more natural looking. By mixing it with the green that we already have, I think I'll switch to a smaller brush to paint the rest of the leaves. It's okay to keep switching between both brushes because in this way we get some leaves which are thicker and border and some a little to no, and that creates a nice, nice radiation in your painting. You can see how fast I move my brush while painting these, and it's important to do this because in this way you'll actually lose control over your brush. And this gives you more natural looking strokes. I think we've added enough number off leaves right now. Maybe I'll just add a few at the bottom because it looks a little empty down there. But overall, I like this whole bushy feel this painting gives me and that's what we're aiming for, right? We want this to look as wild as possible. So yeah, that said, I'll just add a few leaves here and there on. We can then continue adding details on the Berries. Once we're sure that all the Berries are fully dry, we can add those Some red brownish red spots with do is bite spaces that we left earlier and make it a little more reddish. And I just feel that whitespace. Maybe you can leave a little gap in between and, um, just a little a white space and then fill the rest in and that's it. We're done 18. Mistletoe berries: Okay, let's have a look at mistletoe Berries. We can see that the babys are white and culo off bright white, which is a little difficult to depict in watercolors, and we can also see that the leaves are almost like boomerangs, I would say, and you can see that the Berries are between two off these leaves structures, so we'll make sure we depict bad. And they almost all of them are in V shapes. You know what I mean? So let's remember that while painting them. Okay, let's paint some mistletoe Berries. Now. These Berries are white and color, and we need to find the right color toe. Depict those Berries. It's pretty hard to being toe white and watercolors because it's a transparent medium. But as you can see, what I do is, I add a lot of water, whatever dirty mixture I have in my palette, For example, I had this yellowish brown mixture already on my palette, so I added lots of war, that a word, and it's almost like a Clearwater, but a little dirty. And that's what I'm using here so you can see that it's a little dark on the paper, but as it dries, it becomes lighter. I'm just making a cluster off Berries here, and then I add some more bodies here in there. I just may go but eaten our climb with my brush and then fill that in with the color. Okay, we can see that some off these Berries look very light, so I just take a little darko mixture off the same color that we used, and I just add a few drops off it on the Berries to make it look a little darker. Make sure you don't have too much and make it look ready, Doc, because that's not what the Berries look like. It's easier to do this when you're painting. This. Still read, because when you add another cologne and it's easier, toe makes any blend smoothly, so make sure you act fast while painting this to paint the leaves. I've taken a little bit off new conversion, added it to my green sap green mixture and being the leaves, I just touch my brush and pull it outwards, and then I make it a little cold at the top. Let's try that again. Gently touch your brush on the bullet outwards Even now, when you're loading the brush, make sure you take paint all through the brush, not just at the tip, and you add plenty of water so that you can pull it smoothly. I made these reshapes to bring together the leaves. Okay, it just went into the berry, so I just take a dry brush and wipe it off and wipe it to my tissue. And we recorded this leave as well. Better dry brush. Yeah, that's good. No, I just paint some more leaves here and there, using the same technique. Now to bring these two Bunches together, we make another week across the two Berries. Okay, let's try that again. Just gently touch your brush. Andi, pull it outside. We'll add one more leave to create that be structure. We need to act more leaves on the left to create another, bigger we structure with the Berries. You can observe that although I use the same green toe paint all of the's leaves, they still really a little bit and tone. And that's because sometimes I added a little more water and sometimes Lessel Andi. That adds to the total variation in the painting and gives it a more natural effect. So it's always good to keep breathing the amount of water in your painting. I'm bringing together the's, so we kind of structures to create one more bigger restructure, and I will slowly make it thicker as I go down on a little more doc. Oh, and we can combine the left side and the middle or structures together to make one big main stem. And then, as we go down, weaken, join it to the right side one. By making another we structure, you will see what I mean. In just a minute. I think the left side looks a little too empty, so maybe unjust Adam two leaves on the left as well, and just joined them together. Toe the structure. I don't want to add any Berries here, but I'll just add a few dots with green to make it look like the Berries are yet to grow on them. I think I'll add a few dots on the other leaves as well. Toe. Give it a more natural look. We just need toe. Add on a little darker color to the tips off the bodies and then we'll be done with this. I switched to a smaller brush, and I've taken the same green mixture, little dark abortion off it, and I'm adding little dots over the Berries toe. Create those steps on them. I'm just making sure that the tips off these bodies are pointing in different directions because that's how they usually are. Andi, that's it. If you think the bodies are too light, you can go over and add one more Leo off the same mom white ish, transparent mixture that we used All you. And this will make it a little more doc. Oh, but I think I leave it as it is. It's OK if it's this light and, yeah, that's it, they're done. 19. Conclusion: I really hope you enjoyed this class. And you know something? No defense. There are a few things that you condone. Oh, using water learned in this class, for example, you could make a greeting card for someone you love just painting these Berries. Or you could paint all of these Berries in one page and it could be like a post. Oh, and you could also digitize all of this. And if you Mom I ran more makes great homemade jams, then you could make stickers for these jam jars and not look so awesome. And also, if you're writing a recipe book, you can also pain these on that, and that will look so great. So there's so many things you can do with this, and I'm so eager to know what you come up with and your version off this whole flowers. So just add all that paint in the class project so that I can see I can also be motivated from it. I would really appreciate it if you could leave the class review so that I can know whether I'm doing a good job here. And if there's anything that I can book on so that would be really helpful for me. You can find me on Instagram under the instagram handle Social Day on Dhere. I oppose more frequently and you can see a lord off different kinds of flowers and Berries and trees and landscapes that I've seen bad. And sometimes I even share process videos, which can be helpful. And if there's anything in particular that you want to learn in my next class, I would really love it if you can comment on my instagram page so that I know what you want to learn or you can message me. There s mail. So yeah, that said, I hope I meet you in my next class and we have fun painting together again, so yeah, bye.
