Transcripts

1. Introduction: In the two class of this class, we learned how to make a treaty minimal word art. We learned public technique. In this class, I will teach you how to turn that art into this one. I name this Caspian C. Hi. My name is Hadis Mikey. If you're new to my page. Nice to meet you, please visit my channel on Skillshare so we can meet each other better. In this class, I will teach you three techniques. First, how to make emboss shapes on the canvas like these fishes. Second, I teach you glitter technique. We apply this technique on the fishes. And third, I teach you foil bond technique. We apply that on the waves to make a reflective metallic effect. For this class, no previous knowledge or experiment is needed. Everybody who is interested to learn and create are welcomed. So see you in the next lessons. 2. Embossing Fishes: In this lesson, we decide about the arrangements of fishures in our canvas, and then we learn how to make emboss shapes using texture paste. The idea that I have is to turn the fabric part referring to water and adding some fissures here. Now let's decide about, form, and arrangement of the fissures before starting to create them with texture paste. I use pieces of paper. I cut them. First, I try a single fish. We can dry with pencil, but here to make it visible under the camera, I use a marker. Now, on another piece of paper, I try drawing two fishes. Now on another piece of paper, we try a combination of three fissures. Then now I draw an arrangement of small fissures. Yes, you see, I don't draw them randomly. I have some invisible circles in my mind and draw the fissures over those imaginary circles. This is a good tip that in character design, logo design, and composition, you always use invisible shapes like circle, triangle, and square. Let's try them all. I prefer this one. Now I try to transfer the design and Canvas. You can use pencil. Here again, I use marker to be visible under the camera. Okay, the design is ready and we go for applying texture paste or modelic paste to form the three D embass forms. To apploly the paste on canvas. We make a cone using plastic bag. I use a glass or a mark to fill the bag with texture paste easier. The plastic bag should be a little bit thick. Here I use both a thin plastic and a thick one. You see that difference. I place the glass and put the corner of plastic bag in the glass. Then I pick amounts of paste and put that in the bag. I shape it like a cone and then cut the tip with scissors. By pushing the paste toward the hole, we draw borders of fishes and fill inside of them. This thin plastic needs more power, is not efficient, and might be torn. Yes, it's ton of. Now I use the thick one. Fill it with paste. You know, working with texture paste is so relaxing. You should be patient, and that takes you away from the rushes in life. Now I cut a hole and start pouring paste. I think I need to make the whole larger to work easier. Let's cut it with scissors. Yes. Now I draw the borders of the fishes and fill the space inside. Notice, this step needs speed. Right after this, you should start forming the paste into fish shapes. So if you think you can't be fast, or your canvas is large, or you want to pulse and take a rest, then instead of working on all the fishes simultaneously, do it one by one, cover one fish paste, shape it, and then go for another. Here we use brush, art specular, and water. We deep the brush in water to make it wet and start forming the paste, resembling a fish. Add more texture if needed. Be very patient and enjoy this concentration state. We call it flow state. In flow state, mind focuses in a way that you don't feel passing of time. Okay, I have finished making forms and let it dry. Let them dry, prepare some acrylic paint, and see you in the next lesson. 3. Painting: Now it's time to cover the paints you want for different parts. Here I cover the waves with blue, here with golden color, and the fishes with light blue. I prepare some blue color, mix it with a little bit of water, it over comas, and start covering the fabric part. First, I use a big brush to cover the surface. And then I use a smaller brush to work on the details of their wrinkles. Look at different angles to make sure you paint all over the wrinkles. Since it's resembling water, I don't want it to have a flat color. I like the dark and lights in different areas, so I paint it only once to keep these patterns. Now it's time to color the flat area. We can leave it white. Also, light blue is nice choice. But here, I pick golden color. This is also a good choice if you want to have your art bold and with energy. I have another class on my channel that helps you learn how to choose combinations of colors. Save it to attend later after this class. I pin the link of it down below. Okay. Now I prepare gold paint. I cover the surface with a brush. I want to paint it with pattern. So look how I change that direction of brush and how I use short strukes. Now it's time to paint the fishes. I want a light blue, so I mix white and blue to make a lighter blue. In my other class about colors and storytelling, I have explained how to make ts, shades, and tons of a color. Book the class to watch it later. Look, they're now and smooth. Now I gently start painting the fe. Do this carefully. Now let them dry in the following lessons, I teach you two techniques, tie and Foil bond technique. Let the paint dry, and then we go for adding amshments to. Oh. 4. Glue Technique: In this lesson, I teach you how to use a special glue to prepare the surfaces that you want to add glitter or metallic effect over them. I want to give a look theme to my decorative art. I want to cover fissures with blue glitter powder, and I want to add some metal shine to the waves of the sea as resembling reflection of sun and. There is a special glue called gold sheet glue or foil bond ads or Foil bond glue or gold leaf glue. You cover a surface with this, after leaving it for some hours, it becomes sticky. You can stick gold sheets, silver sheets, and so on. Here, I have a brush that I use it only for this glue, since your brush will be sticky. Don't use a good expensive brush, put a regular brush aside and every time use only that one. I also here have an unusable lid. I pour some glue in it and start covering the fishes. D. Well, then now I want to cover some small parts on the edges of the waves. In my other class, I taught you how to cover wrinkles with the touches of gold acrylic paint. But now I want to create a metal so I use glue. I add some yellow color to be able to detect the parts I cover with glue. Now I brush some small touches of glue on the edges. O h. We are done, leave it for at least 2 hours and come back. The glue surface should be prepared and sticky by then. Now let the glue get active and make a sticker surface on the places that you want to add embellishment. The glue be more than 2 hours and sticky surface. See you in the next lesson. Oh. 5. Glittering Technique: Now the surfaces are sticky. Look how it looks when I touch them. It's now time to learn how to add glitter powder on them. Now, more than 2 hours has passed. Look when I touch it, it's completely sticky. I glitter powder gently over the fish area. Now, using a brush, I gently spread glitters to make sure all the sticky parts are covered with glitter powder. Then I pick a piece of paper, put it under the canvas. U. Lift the canvas and with hand or a pen or spatula, gently dave over the surface. The strokes makes scalor fall on the paper, and you can collect them for later uses. Now, the embellishment of the fissures are down and we go for the next technique. The next one is a wonderful technique. Come to the next list and and I teach that. O M 6. Foil Bond Technique: The next part is to add some reflections to the edges of the waves. In this lesson, I teach you how to make that metal effect. In the previous class, we made gold touch effect, but now I want to make a gold reflective effect like metal. This material is called F bond. This is a gold color. They are available in other colors like silver, cop, rainbow, and so on. I got a piece of it. It has two sides. One of the sides are a non shiny side. We stick this side over the sticky surface, rub it hand or with a piece of club. Then we remove the foi bone fast. Look, a golden metallic effect is on the sticky part, giving a reflective effect. I repeat this for all the parts that we have applied blue on them. Look at the foil bond. You see the parts that we use are now empty of the coating layer. Repeat this until there is no sticker part remained. Wow. Look, it's so beautiful. You see, the result of this technique is totally different from the other technique I taught you in my other cast, which was about adding touches of gold acrylic paint over the edges. I paint the cast down below. And the next lesson I talk to you about the project. Oh. 7. Project: Now, time for the project of this class. Of course, for the project, I don't ask you to make this complete art. I am the teacher and I feel the responsibility to make a complete and big project, so you can believe that the techniques that you learn are applicable in projects, you can accept commissions or make projects and sell them. But the project of this class is a smaller scale. What is the project of this class? The project of this class consists of three parts. First an image, second, a title, and third sentence. First part, image, and the image part, you draw a rougher sketch of a cavas art idea that you have in your mind. Then with arrows, you define which of the one to three techniques you have learned in this class, you want to apply to which part like this. The second part, put a name for your art. For example, chocolate hopes. In the third part, write a sentence about where your art you can imagine is used. For example, on the wall of my dining room, in the hall of the company that my sister works in, or in the wall of the spa salon that is in my city, in that street. In the project and resources section, I have put a sample project, so you can download and check that. By the way, if you want to do more than a off a sketch, Yes, that's welcome. You can add a drawing. If you buy some of the materials and you have experimented with them. Yes, take your photo and share that the project, gy. Please make note that to share a project, you should go to the project and resources. Right now, make your project, and yes, you can and it's possible that you add changes, you make them change or add other photos or remove something later and update your project. So you end the next lesson for the sum up. Oh. 8. Final Thoughts: Thanks for being with me by far and Congress. Some final lists, I should tell you first about the materials. I didn't name any brand during the class because it's obvious. Some brands are available in different parts of the ward. If you have any question, yes, ask in the disc. Also, I put a file in the resources section. Check that list. Yes. If you have any experiments, if you done any techniques, or you have innovated any new techniques. Yes, take a photo and share that in the discussion board with me and other students, they say sharing is caring. The other point and the final point that I want to mention is their review section. I myself, when I want to buy a material product online or attend some classes or buy a digital product, read their reviews. Please write a review for the class. Other new students. Can decide better whether this class fits their goals or their interest or not and decide based on your reviews. I ask you to please make note to use the sections project discussion and review separately. For example, if you want to share your project, use project section, not the discussion board, or if you have a question, ask that in the discussion board, not in the review section, because if you ask that in the discussion board, then the other students can read the answer and learn more. I wish you success, and I hope you create an experiment, and I wish you success in your creative journey and make sure to follow my channels and speeches for upcoming new techniques and creative project. See you soon and goodbye.
