1. Corse Description Seri 4: Hello, everyone, and welcome to this wonderful course. The course is dedicated to felleral subjects because followers are beautiful and after each lesson, you will succeed in making a beautiful flower or feleral subject. The aim is also to ensure that you practice the very basic techniques of watercolor painting several times. Ich lesson is designed to be less than 10 minutes or just a few minutes so that you can easily accomplish each task. Basic techniques such as vet Ovet or vet invet or splashing techniques are repeated now and then for several times. That's make you and me sure that you have a solid understanding and experience of those techniques with no or less perior knowledge, you will succeed in doing those beautiful paintings. Also, if you have some prior knowledge and you want to know more about federal subjects, or you want to make a solid basin foundation for more advanced levels of particular painting, I strongly suggest you to take this course. This course is part of a series of very simple federal painting subjects and is designed to be a separate course, could be part of a year course for those who are interested in exercises. So I highly encourage you to accomplish each course separately. And if you are interested, also, I suggest you to take other courses. This is magic, and I've been busy doing painting, drawing, and also giving art courses for more than two decades. So I know what makes the students successful in their artistic career. This way, you would be that what you are going to learn is what you want. Each lesson is designed carefully. That you will learn something new or you will repeat a very basic technique. Once again, so that you and I will be sure that have the solid understanding of that technique. There's no need to care about techniques. We will repeat them several times and also I will highlight the most important tips several times during the course so that you will understand them very well. During past two decades, I've tried this techniques several times, so you can be sure that without any prior knowledge or less prior knowledge, you can do and succeed in these courses and in these subjects. After each lesson, you will have a very beautiful painting so that you can keep it frame it, put it on your table or you can gift it to a friend as a present from your heart. I hope you and I would have a very wonderful journey and quality time with each other. Let's get started. 2. Yellow Daisy Flower: Today's painting is very retroactive while the technique, and also the design is very simple. Just a few colors, including yellow, orange, and red, and the techniques in on, wet on, and splashing. Without any sedation, let's get started. Using a number four round brush and ordih yellow color. I start from outer part of each and every petal towards the center. It's really crucial to keep the outer part of the shapes and neat because our mind discerns the shapes based on their outline, basically. And to keep the Brushes turk economy. I also try to move my hands in rhyme with the form of each petal. It's really important to convey a true sense of form. From out side towards the inner part or from the center towards the outer part. The only thing that I try to stick to it is trying to rhyme with the forms of the petals. For the center, while my brush had some yellow, I dip my brush into the red h, and the result would be somehow orangish color. Now, while the previous layers are still wet and using a smaller number two round brush and with red color, I add extra details to the petals. And to emphasize the volume of the flower center, using the same red red color, I try to add some volume to the lower part of the flower center. I change my brush and paint the two other petals. You can consider this as finished or add extra details to the petals. And I'm going to splash some yellow and dots here and there. And I believe that this painting is really amazing, and our job is almost done. Okay, let's put it somewhere to the dry out and frame it. I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful painting. Oh 3. Simple Stylized Rose: Hello, everyone. This is also another very beautiful stylized combination or composition inspired by roses. But matters here is to paint inside the shapes. Here we are trying to master coloring inside the lines. Also we try wetting slightly in leaves and choose a variety of adjacent colors. The colors that I'm going to use include variations of red like pure red and purplish red. And also sap green or whatever green that you have in your watercolor set. Let's get started. I usually prepare my colors before painting and here is no exception. I have premixed my colors and start from the upper flower and with pure red. As I always insist what matters is to choose right size brush and also trying to rhyme the brushstrokes with the forms that you are going to paint it. And here is no exception. For the second flower, I'm going to use purplish red and try to have a neat painting and color inside the lines. This is what I'm trying to practice in this painting and I hope we could do it very well. In some cases, you have to use the tip of your brush to be able to paint smaller shapes or finer details. This is basically a practice to be able to paint or color different shapes and different size of shapes using the same brush. Trust me practice makes perfect. If you still have some troubles, repeat the lessons several times and with slightly different colors so that you can experiment with colors and master the brush socks. I try to keep some white areas between the petals, this way our shapes will be defined, and the rest is just coloring, in fact. I start from outer part of each and every shape and simply just fill the inner part. Now it's time to the first layer or fast colors to be dried and then start coloring the leaves. Here I'm going to use number three or number four, medium sized round brush, while the first layer that was a yellow color is still wed. I will add some green to it so that they mix and I benefit the wet in wet technique. As I dipped my brush into yellow and then dipped it to green. My brush has two colors on it and starts with the second color and then ends up with the first color that I pick up. Always I have a variety of colors on each shape. As you can see here, the leaves show a variety of colors. Sometimes I use a thicker version or thicker mixture of the same color, then add the thicker color so that they mix and I have some variations in colors. For fine details, you can choose a final brush or use the same brush size. I would say that our painting is finished. If you are interested, you can use the splash technique or just it to d and frame it. I hope you have enjoyed this exercise and beautiful rests. 4. Irirs: Iris lovers are really, really beautiful, and their forms also is very attractive. For today's painting, I am going to paint this wonderful. Our palettes are also very simple, including two tones of blue. A watery bright and a slightly thicker dark blue, yellow and green for the leaves. That's it for the color palette. Also, you're going to use a spese technique and on wet technique for this beautiful painting. Without any further hesitation, let's get started. I start using a numbered four round brush, and with my watery paint blue color. I paint the upper part of the is flower. For the lower part, using the same bruh, but darker color and thicker color. I paint the petals. The thickness of the color must be like coffee while the upper part must be like t, for example. Simply, we painted the flower and now it's time to use yellow color for the leaves. I try to stick to the forms, but sometimes it's okay if you go out of the forms. Using the same yellow. I paint the inner part of the flower and while they Yellow layer is still. I paint the green layer over it on top of it and they mix naturally. Now I try to splash a few drops of the green color here and there and that's it for today's beautiful painting. This time to let it dry, I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful painting. 5. Gold outlined beauty: Gold usually is not considered as standard color, but you can use it as a decorative color here and there, and I prefer using even silver and gold colors in my paintings. Usually, the result is really amazing and beautiful. So for this lesson, I use just pure color like pure green and pure red, and I will outline the drawing using gold acrylic color. That's it for this color peak. One important tip I have to share is that after using acrylic colors, you have to immediately clear and wash your brushes. Otherwise, they would be ruined. Also, instead of acrylic colors, you may use colors, so you can choose between or acrylic gold colors. Let's get started. I have prepared my washes. And by wash, I mean, the color that is mixed with water. And they are very votary, so I have basically prepared only two washes. One is a very thin and votary red color. The other one is slightly thicker green wash. For all the painting, I use number three, round brush for the flower, and also for the leaves and a stem, and to benefit the splash technique. I use a slightly bigger round brush. You can let it dry at this stage or just continue using the gold color. I prefer to mix colors while they are still wet. I don't let it dry and using the gold layer. And using my number two round barge, I outline all the lines of the drawing underline the ring and fill them with gold color. Also, I try to make variations in thickness of the lines. Basically, some lines are slightly thinner and some of them are slightly thicker, so it makes some variations in age of cold color. Always try to keep it simple and also Enjoying is really important. Enjoy your painting while you are doing, try to discover and try to embrace the accidental effects that happens here and there. Our painting is almost finished, and now it is time to let it completely dry and frame it. I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful decorative painting. 6. Tulips: Hello everyone for this beautiful painting, I'm going to use adjacent red colors, and also different thickness of colors or washes. As you know when we premix the colors, called hes. For this lesson, I'm going to use two different thickness of colors. One is t, and the other is slightly thicker and like coffee. And the colors that I'm going to use include orange, red, and purple. Let's get started. I use a number four round brush while I'm painting each floor. I use different colors so that they mix naturally and bin naturally as the previous color is a steel t. Basically, it is a gradual painting using the vet technique. As you can see, I started from a battery red color, and for the rest of this beautiful flower, I'm going to use a ticker version of the same color. And you can see that they blend naturally, and we have a a gradual change in color, and this makes it much more beautiful. Also, I'm going to go through the same process for the third flower. I start from a very vary red color and from the half of the shape, I choose a ticker version of the color and you can see that they blend naturally and it makes a variety of colors that is beautiful. As you can see also, my board is slightly tilted. The lower part of each shape is slightly darker, that is natural. Even though I use the same color, the lower part of each shape would be slightly darker. For the finer shapes, I use a slightly smaller brush like number two or number three round bruh. Now we have down all of our red orange color and time two paint the stems. I use number two or number one round brush for the details, and try to do it in one go and prevent our doing. To be honest, confidence is really important and crucial. Even if you are not very good, just be confident and do it in one go, please. As you can see, I'm painting the small details with small brush and large spaces and large forms with larger brushes. This is really important and it is one of the key factors in every painting. Our painting is almost done. You can leave it as it is to be dried, or as I enjoy, you can also use the spattering or splashing technique to have some color dots here and there, and I believe that it will add visual interest to your painting. Okay, our beautiful painting is almost finished. And now it is time to let it dry and frame it. I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful painting. Oh. 7. Bees : Some insects like bees, lady bugs or butterflies, add a sense of life and feeling of life to your paintings. For today's painting, I am going to use a very limited palette, including yellow, red, violet, and green. Also we are going to have two small bees in our beautiful painting. I start it number four round brush and violet color to paint the first fell shape. I usually pay much more attention to outer part of the shapes and simply fell the inner part of each shape. To prevent colors mixing. It is better to let the face color be dried completely. I let the violet colors be dried and then kill my brush using killing water and dip it into the yellow color and paint the second layer of the flower. Painting is very stylized. But it is really beautiful in my opinion. What matters is, in fact, repeating the techniques that you already know. The main goal of this series is to keep the process very simple and let you try the techniques several times so that you can master them after some while. Without any prior knowledge or experience, you can go after what I'm doing and you can reach really beautiful result. As you can see, because the previous layer is a stilt. While I'm adding the second layer of the colors using the same brush and red color, they mix, and I don't care about that. Andalso I welcome this incident, in fact. As you already know, it is called tin wet. It means that the previous layer is still wet while you are adding the second layer and this makes the boundaries very vague and the colors mix within each other. For the very central part of each petal, I use a smaller brush and violet color. As the red color was still wet, the boundary of the shapes would be dissolved into each other. The colors mix, and it is called wet in wet. Now I let the painting to be dried before painting the leaves and using number three or number four round brush and Sap green. I very easily feel the shape of the leaves and also the center of the. Now it's time to color these beautiful tiny bees. I use pure yellow for their bodies. Using a watery bright blue color, I paint their wings. I believe this painting is finished, but as usual, I try to splash a few color drops here and there. Yes, it is finished. Okay. Now, it's time to let it completely and frame it. I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful painting. You can repeat the same painting using different colors and also butterflies instead. 8. Three Stylish Roses: Hello, everyone. These beautiful flowers are made of two different techniques. One is about the thickness of your color, and the other one is using adjacent colors. For adjacent colors, I'm going to choose a wide variety of colors from orangish to purplish red colors. Also for thickness, I'm going to use tea like the watery color, and also coffee like that is slightly thicker and less watery colors. The technique also is very simple and includes vets on dry and also vet on vet techniques. I already prepared my colors, and also as usual, I test my colors on the same type of paper to ensure that what I'm going to use is the same as I want. I start from a very purplish red color that in fact is a mixture of purple and red and enough water to be very wary and thin. The other important tip is that as usual, I start from outer part of each shape and pay enough attention to the outer part and just fill the inner part. As usual, the outer part of the forms is much more important than the in part of the forms. To have a variety of colors here, add a tinge of pure red to this y color, they mix and also I have some variety. To avoid mixing colors with each other. I usually don't paint the shapes that are connected to each other. I color the inner part of the flower also and leave it to bear and continue coloring the other flower. As usual, I emphasize on the outer part of the shapes. And simply feel the inner parts. As you can see here, the color is slightly thicker and is like coffee compared to te, less water and more pigment are here. I the flowers to be dried so that I'm able to color the third one. Now I'm going to use a thick color like coffee like and pure red color for the third flower petals. Sometimes it's also fine if you leave some white spots here and there, if you think that it's okay to feel them, keep it simple and fell all the shapes. Now that the second flower is completely dried out, I can color the inner part of that flower. Also using the same pure red, I feel the inner part of the th. Now using a very watery pure red color that I tested on the piece of paper. I feel the inner part of the first lover, and also the inner part of the third lover. As the previous layer is a still, they mix naturally with each other, and as you know, it is called tin vet. We need to master this technique because it has plenty of usage and as it said, practice makes perfect. We need to practice it several times and in different subjects. Now it's time to color the leaves. I simply use a pure green color. You can use sap green or any other green that you have on your color set. This is very watery like t, and the thickness of the color is like t. Also I am going to use a darker version and also less waary version for the second leaf. And it's important to let the first layer of red colors of all the flowers be completely dried out. Otherwise, they will mix. It would be also great, but for this lesson, I have tried to keep everything very clear and clean. For the leave, while it is still, I choose some red colors. There would be more harmonious combination of leaves and also the flowers. As usual, I welcome spattering, splashing, technique, and that's it. Now it's time to let it dry and frame it. I hope you have enjoyed this beautiful painting. 9. White Vase and red flowers: Oh. Hello, everyone. Today's painting is really beautiful, yet very simple because I have tried to keep my palette very limited, and we try to cover several techniques or rehearse several techniques, including a gradual coloring vet and splashing water and also colors on the painted. The palette is very limited, including orange, battery orange, Unusual red and also pure pair pale. You can prepare your colors as I usually do. Also, I welcome to some colors that have remained in my palette, or you can use colored inks, both are possible. I use a flat brush with some of my pus colors in my palette and mix them with the orange color that I've prepared and color the vase simply. Also, it must be very bright because I'm trying to convey a sense of white vase. For the rest of the painting, I'm going to use this pure red mix with my orange prepared color. Also we'll use a number 41 brush. Maybe the only important or maybe the most important thing as usual, is trying to rhyme your brushes strokes with the forms of flowers. I start from painting the top flowers downwards and pay much more attention to outer part of the H form. But the inner part is really simple and just feeling would be okay. Now to add more variation, I use pure red color. This is slightly darker. As the orange color was still red. There wouldn't be any border in between. Once again, I use orange and once again, I use red so that my bush storks are different, and this will make a sense of variation. So the result would be very beautiful because we have a variation of colors. They're adjacent, but at the same time, they vary Also now I'm going to use pure rose color or pink color. You can use pink purple or even violet for this painting. I use purple And while the previous colors are yet. I use this color and paint some inner flowers. As you can see the colors mix with each other, the result would be really, really amazing. I use the same dark color for the lower flowers. This will make a sense of volume and the only thing that I try to consider is trying to keep my brush strokes in according to the forms of the flowers. As you can see, I try to dip each time I brush into different colors. I start, for example, from orange, but continue with red or with violet or with purple Now it's time to drop some pure water drops here and there. After drying out, water will back the colors and so the water drops would be slightly brighter. I usually welcome this texture within my paintings, and believe me, trust me. This is really beautiful texture. Also, I use a splash technique and drop some drops here and there. For the lower part of the vase, I use my orange color mixed with some green that has been left in my palette. Then just by adding water, I am trying to make a gradual color. I believe that this is really amazing because it adds some volume to my painting. And using my fingers, I drop a few here and there. Our painting is finished, and now it's time to let it dry completely and frame it. I hope you have enjoyed this really, really beautiful and technical painting. We can repeat this painting using different colors and see how would be the result. Oh.
