Fantasy 1 Web: For this wonderful painting, I'm using three different techniques. The first one is using a flat wash. The second one is called Tt or wet on wet. And the third one is on technique. Just follow the steps and take your time to enjoy painting. Keep it easy. Take it very easy. Also prepared all the materials you need. The design is over there. You can have their line art. As usually, I prepare my color before painting. I make some washes and make them thinner or thicker by adding some water to them. And also, let me say always I tried the colors on the same material that I'm going to paint my final painting, to be sure that what would be the color in action. As usual, I start from the outer part of each petal then easily feel the inner part. So as you can see, I'm using a very pale, reddish color. There's in fact a mixture of red ink. It's colors ecole color and some water. That's it about the color. I try to keep neat edges, don't mix colors very far from the line art, but it's up to you this matter. Matter of taste, you can enjoy the accidental happenings could happen during your painting, basically. As you can see, I feel the face color for the second flower, I'm going to use a mixture of blue and red. That is somehow violet, something between violet and red. Sometimes it's towards blue, sometimes it's more towards the red. It's up to you. We can use a different mixture, but I think that keeping it simple would be fine, and also the harmony between blue and red is wonderful. It is wise to let the first color to be dry enough, otherwise they will mix to each other. Because they are wetting means more accidental happenings here and there for times. As usual, I use a slightly smaller brush, maybe number two, number one or number two round brush, I use a number 34 to six for the leaves. And also I use a mixture of the same mixture. I mean the mixture of blue and some reddish color. That makes it more fun, more visual interest. As usual, I start from outer part of each shape somehow like solving a puzzle, isn't it? It is fun. It is fun. Also, for the next leave, I start from red color, then add some blues. It is called wet In wet, you can see that when the colors are wet, they disperse to each other, to each other on the paper. That's why it is called wet on wet. For the third one, I start from the blue color and I'll start as usual from the outer part. And for the stamps as usual, I use a smaller brush. That's it about this wonderful painting, it's almost finished. I can also keep it as it is, or you may add some extra details for the last part, I let the first layer to be dried out completely, then I used a second layer that would be somehow darker. And it's called dry on dry. That is an amazing result. You can see that then you are using ink colors, you would reach more vivid result. I hope you have enjoyed this wonderful painting. You can make a seri of your own painting. You can make several combination of this composition, Can paint it in different sizes as a gift or as a framed fino painting on your val. I hope you have enjoyed this wonderful painting also. 3. Fantasy flower2: For today's wonderful painting, we are going to use two different techniques. One is called splash. I use it very often also. The other one is called wet and dry. Skip the names and follow the process. I believe that you can do it very easily for this painting. Also, I'm using a mixture of blue and red, but the result is wonderful. I start from a watery mixture of water and blue color, so it's diluted watery, pale blue color. I use this mixture to paint the opponent petals, and then I use pale red color for the other two opponent petals. I go through the same process for the other lover. Let me say, I start from two opponent red petals, and then I use a mixture of blue and red. That would be surg violet, let me say. And then for the last one I use pure, watery blue color. I use a smaller brush for a These leaves, they are sort of leaves but they're imaginary. For the time I usually use number two round brush, it's up to you. You can use number one. Number two, number two for details. As usual, do the same process for the other, but with red color. I use the same number two round brush for stems and you can see that the result is fascinating. I usually use some drops here and there you can splash the colors. It is also called the splash technique, or you can put it intentionally. I let the base color to be slightly dry, then I use a thicker layer on top of the base. Whenever the base color, base layer is dried out, you won't have spersion. But if you have a still that base layer, you would result in spercion the colors next to each other. And it is, it is, it is called wet on wet. But if the base color is dried out, it is called wet on dry, and it is fun on. The aim of this course is just having fun, Having joy, enjoying your time. So take your time to enjoy and make variations, make variations in composition and colors, and enjoy your time. 4. Pansy Flower web: Pansy flowers are really beautiful and very inspiring to me for this painting. I'm using the glazing technique that basically is putting a very thin layer of color on the previous one. To taste my colors, I usually use the same paper that I'm going to paint on it based on the previous paint you can use. And dilute your colors with water to make more battery and more pale color. This is the way I usually do. I personally prefer adding water to make thinner color and also brighter color. As usual, I start from the outer part of the petals as shapes are recognized by their outer shape and just simply fill the inner part. I have to use a slightly thinner brush for the stem. I choose smaller number two or number one, or number three round brush for the stem makes it easier to control and also fill the color. Pay enough attention to the amount of color you are picking two brush to add more visual interest. I sometimes drop some colors here and there. It makes it more attractive. In my opinion, it's up to you, but I think it is the way that works for me. Sometimes I just drop some water drops here and then I let the base color to be dried completely. So that could add the second layer. I will add a second tin water color layer or wash layer to the base layer. And it is called glazing technique. Basically, it is very simple. You color the second shapes, second petal in another color, or the same color that you were using to color the base player. I personally choose some different color because it makes more visual interest to me, but it is a matter of taste, depends on you. You can use the same color or choose another different colors. You can leave some parts untouched so that the minute layer could show up or you can completely fill the second petal. Also. Also, you can drop some drops here and there to add more visual interest. That's it for this painting, I hope you have enjoyed it. You can make a seria of painting. You can paint in different colors a set of three, or two, or four or five events to hang it in your kitchen, in your bedroom or whatever, Or even a seria painting to present them as gift to your friends or beloved funds. I hope you have enjoyed this painting. 5. Pansy 2 web: This. Listen, we are going to paint a very beautiful and simple flower with just one color, or let me say the shades of red color. I have used liquid at color, but it's up to you mainly because it has more vivid colors as well as I'm going to try and wet on dry technique. Do you want to be a scrit about the technical terms? You can go through the process easily without knowing the technical terms and following the video. Keep it temple and enjoy painting. Just as a general tip, if you use liquid water colors, you would have more disperse because basically the pigments are very, very tiny so they can travel very further on the water. I usually prepare my colors inside my palette and then try to see how dark or bright they are on exactly the same paper that I'm going to paint on. So keep in mind that you have to use the same paper to see that if the color is bright enough or ten all to try your color on main paper. As usual, the edge of the shapes are more important, so I pay more attention to edges. I'll simply fill the inner part. I start from the outer part of each shape, doesn't matter what it is. And then fill the inner part to make the colors thinner and brighter. I just add some water. That's it. As you can see, if the colors are still and I use another color on them, it is called on vet. The result would be very fine effect. You can see how the colors disperse and mix each other. Not a very precise matter, but in a very exciting matter. They disperse sometimes far from where you put them on paper. It depends on the second color, how thick, and also the first layer, How thin is, the thicker color won't spread that much. The thinner the base layer is, the more the space you would reach for the tim I'm using a gray, that is, a mixture, could be a mixture of black or could be a mixture of green with red color. Green. The complementary color of the red you can use, it gives you more colorful gray color. I describe the complementary colors in a separate video. Just keep in your mind that green and red are complementary. Basically, it means that if you mix them, you would reach a gray color. That's it. Basically to have some more variation as some red, pale red to my gray, grayish color. I'm going to feel the shape of those leaves as I add more green, more of red here and there to have more visual interest almost. Flower is dried in your case. If it's not dried, you can use a hair dryer. Depends on the climate you're living, the weather. So if it's humid, you have to use hair dryer. That's it about this flower. I hope you have enjoyed this painting. You can now hang it on your wall or give it as a present to your friend. You can repeat it with your taste. You can use different colors. I hope you have enjoyed this video. 6. Gerbera Fhd web: Bra or Goba. They are really beautiful and lovely. Pink, yellow, white flowers. I love them very much because of the vivid colors. For this lesson, I'm going to use a diluted as color, but it's up to you. You can use ecoline ink in fact. Or you can use normal water color just as a matter of hates experience. Usually colors are more opaque. They give you the chance to rectify your errors if there is any, but it's merely a matter of taste based on the fact that they art. They don't disperse that much as if you put two G colors beside each other. They don't usually mix and disperse to each other that much. That's why I use colors for today. Paintingy give you a sort velvety touch usually, so I also like the mood that is a result of using Gah colors. Start from the center of flower, then I use some orange color, and finally I use pure red. As I have used sort of watery red color on each folor. I mean the right part of each floor is colored in thicker layer or let me say the color that comes out of the gas tube or Gh parts. Let me say on the left side, I have used more battery colors and ends up in a sort of sense of having volume. You can try the same technique that I have used, or you may use the same amount of water, premix colors, and then you use them. Whatever the color is on all the petals, I have choose the different thickness of colors that let me say brightness and darkness. It gives you sure, the ceiling of volume that I like it, but it could be the same color that makes it move flat and it's okay. Also after the petals, I'm going to color the leaves. I try to do mix the petal color with leaves, but it doesn't matter if you mix them also. It's okay because they're going to enjoy the coloring process and the accidents are very welcome. It's up to you. It's a matter of experiencing, a matter of enjoying your time. Yes, that's it. I usually use a smaller brush for the leaves because they have more details. You can easily manage to color leaves with a smaller brush. As usual, I start from outer part of each shape, then fill the inner part. It makes it more easy. If you use a smaller brush, I keep it simple. I just throw the pencil design to have an other view of the final design. But I'm not that stocking the lines. And for final touch, I just drop some colors here and there. I hope you have enjoyed this lesson too. We can now hang it in your world. You can make a say of this, my wonderful Gerbera, or Gerber flowers. I hope you have enjoyed spinting ourself. 7. Marigold FHD web: I love the flowers in general and parts my goals are no exception, they're wonderful, they last long. Usually you can see them from spring till all. In fact, I love them not only because of the colors, but because they're always there for two days painting, we are going to paint those wonderful flowers. I use Gu for this painting, you can also use the same color, but it's ot can use ecolink colors or usual watercolors. I start from the inner part of each flower with pure yellow color and then continue coloring with number two, round for the petals G. Because of the final result that is somehow like velvet effect, I like that effect for these flowers, these lovely flowers. Definitely I like the effect, the velvet effect fits very well to the sort of manclesls. Another tip is that I start from outer part towards the inner part, but sometimes I stuck in opposite. But these are two, let me say, acceptable directions. From the outer part inward or from the inward towards the outer part of the shape. That's my rule. That's my taste. I like this technique, but it's, I prefer this. I mean from outer part of the shape inward or from inward to the outer part of the shape. Because mainly it matches the way the form is generated or let me say is in a real world. If your lines rhymes with the form makes sense. That's all about this painting process. For the leaves and stems, I usually use a smaller brush. Number two. Number one. Number three. As round brush would be fine, I usually use number two, round brush for the stems and also for the leaves. You can also the having a first layer dried enough so that you can color the e, the second layer. But it is up to you. I prefer to let the first layer be dried completely because I don't have to care about mixing accidentally the colors. And that's it. Fan now think gets finished. But you can also some more colors here and there if you are interested to make more attractive visual effect. I hope you have enjoyed this wonderful painting. Now you can hang it on your wall with a kitchen cozy corner of your house or whatever. I hope you have enjoyed this painting. 8. Fall Leaf Fhd Web: Oh what a lovely and colorful season is. Fall, fall. There are plenty of colors, but mainly they are adjacent. I mean, you can see mainly green, so you can see orange and also brown red. For this las, let me say for this painting, I'm mainly a mixture of very a thin mixture of yellow and green that also includes some orange in it and also a pale red color. I basically start from this mixture. You can also make your own, but I've used a mixture of ocre, yellow and green mainly occur. You can do the same color with a mixture of pure yellow, pure green, and tinge of orange. The same result would be there is no Rangan, right? Because you have plenty of colors. In fall, start from the outer part of the shape. It's my rule everywhere in this course, almost everywhere. I basically start from the outer shape and just feel the inner part. As you can see, I pay more attention to outer part of each shape. We are almost down with the outer part. I also am going to describe about two other techniques, the first one is wet on wet, you can see I'm using it, you have the T space color, then you add the second layer on it and they disperse to each other. And also, I'm going to describe about scratching technique later. Basically what I'm doing now is technique. That means that you're using a color on another minute layer would be a mixture of two colors here and there. Sometimes one is dominant, sometimes the other one is the dominant color gives you a chance of variety. I love, let me say accidental mixtures. You can see those accidental mixtures in real nature. I hope you enjoy these wonderful mixtures. You will later be able to control it more while it is also accidental. But for now, just take your time and do experiments as I am doing. For this time, as usual, I use a smaller brush and also I use warmer color. Here is red. In fact, basically I use my red diluted color for scratching technique. You can use a variety of things. I my pen without any pencil in it. Let me say my technical pencil without any pencil in it. Just to scratch the paper and then you would have more color and that makes it slightly darker. Can use a knife, small knife or whatever. Maybe you can also use your nails. I prefer this technical pencil because it gives me more control. As you can see now the wet color is going to go to deeper part of the surface, makes it more interesting. As usual, drop some colors here and there to make it more interesting. I hope you have enjoyed this wonderful fall leaves and also make a serie of those lovely leaves to hang on your walls and give them to your As gift. Just enjoy your time by doing those wonderful colorful fall leaves.
