1. Introduction: Hi guys. My name is Kate and I had been painting with the color for five years. You can find more of my walks on my Instagram page. This is my nickname. I wouldn't be really glad if you subscribe. And today I want to draw an autumn plot with you. When it's rainy and windy outside, this mood is perfectly conduit through raindrops on the window. So today we will draw it. In this lesson, you will learn how to walk with the mice can liquid. How to use wet and wet technique. How to draw the details in one lab. How to draw raindrops, and how to draw with clean water. As anthem the lesson, you will draw these watercolor painting. Lands against that hat. 2. Step 1: pencil drawing & masking liquid: I have no power. I started with a pencil drawings. First, draw the axis of symmetry of the leaf. This axis coincides with the central vein of the leaf. Then relative to this line, I draw the left and the right paths or the leaf. I don't repeat exactly the shape of the leaf. It is important to save on the three parts of the leaf to make it look natural. Then I cover the entire area of the leaf with MySQL liquid. This liquid creates a thin film on the surface of the bay, but that prevents watercolor from getting inside the paper. Thanks to this liquid, we will be able to quickly banned the background using wet in wet technique and then draw the leaf and the water drops in detail. I also paint over water drops will mask in liquid. I put drops along the inclined lines when it is rainy and windy outside, the rain drops fall down in striped lines. Now I draw exactly this. So we need to completely dry masking liquid. 3. Step 2: wet on wet technique: After the masking decrease is completely dry, I start painting the background. Before we start painting with watercolor, we need to prepare the pains. I drop clean water into the goods that I will use. Then a Wednesday entire sheet with water while the water is getting inside the paper, I am mixing the color on the palette. I mix orange and cobalt, the mixture all this panes gives a beautiful grey color. And three, this scholar, I begin to paint over the entire sheet to make them, but Grant look more interesting and a little more cobalt or orange, thanks to the mosque and liquid, they leave and rain drops will keep. Why'd you can change the background color while the paper is wet? I like this color feeling, so I dry everything with a hair dryer. Now, I remove masking liquid. You can remove it with an eraser or roll it with your fingers. As I do, I shake their all tap masking liquid into the trashcan. 4. Step 3: the leaf: Now I start drawing a leaf, a band over the intention Phase o there leaf, risk burnt sienna column. And now while the baby is wet, I introduce additional colors. It is a dark brown Karla and an even more intense and burnt sienna Karla due to the fact that we walk with wet paper, all colours are very smoothly mixed with each other. Notice ed burnt sienna, Karla, along their vein lines. If you look at the recurrence, you see the most saturated brown color along the way and I add a few more spots of brown column. And again, I draw the veins using the fact that the sheet begin to dry, the cholera spreads less strongly. Now is the time to add a couple of drops of clean water. The water push the pigment out of the paper and we get like gala spots. 5. Step 4: the raindrops: Now I will draw raindrops, since there are a lot of them, I will draw them chaotically. First, a bent over other drugs with a light gray column, I use the cobalt and orange remnants on the pilot. Notice that I leave a white paper in each drop. The white-collar jobs is the highlights which are very important to us. Now add contrast and taken that column, it is a mixture of India and the brown. And they drove way reliance on the top of some of the drugs. Look at their reference and notice which side of the dogs at the darkest. I don't draw such a contrasting shadow on all drops. Even paint over some drugs with gala of the ground. Since not all raindrops look contrasting on the reference. Now, I take a blue watercolor pencil and outline some of the drugs. I just draw ovals around some raindrops. I do it vertically. The important thing here is to add this blue Cal drops. Now I spray whitewash on the sheet so we draw small rain drops, the structure of which we cannot see. Also, I sprayed that column, try not to spray on the leaf. Now I draw small details with wide garage. I ed highlights to the left of the leaf. I also draw some veins with white-collar. Also This is not on the reference. It seems to me that this way the drawing relook more pictures there. I also have glare to some other raindrops with white glass to make them more voluminous. Let's all. Thank you for watching a man lives and area of refunded to draft me as a teacher and subscribed to my skill share count here and I make new went to Canada lesson. Also dump again talk lot your walk into students projects sanction and will be really glad to see it. And I will give you feedback. So I helps you soon. Bye.
