1. Rainy Day Intro Skillshare: Hello and welcome to this class. My name is debug three and I am an artist best out in India. I have been teaching
art professionally since 2016 and I have had the pleasure to teach over 20 thousand students
in this class. I'm going to teach you a rainy day window painting
of an indoor scene, of cozying up with a
blanket, book and coffee. It's such a beautiful painting to create and keeping your room. And you will learn a lot of techniques in the process
of creating this painting. It's a little Lindy tutorial and that's because you
have a lot to learn. We'll start this
class by telling you the acrylic art supplies and
then in a ten step process, P2 to create this
rainy day painting, you will learn how to paint a misty background using
dry brush technique. You will learn how to
create perspective in a landscape to make
it look realistic, how to paint wouldn't textures, and how to paint a vintage
books with text written on it. How to paint forms and
dimensions of the coffee mug. And finally, how to
paint the raindrops. Get ready for this beautiful
acrylic adventure. And I look forward to seeing
you inside the class.
2. Art Supplies: Hey guys, welcome to this class. In this class, I am
going to teach you a conscious monsoon landscape with the raindrops
on the window sill. And let's start with
the right art supplies. Very limited or supplies
I'm going to do it or not, A5 acrylic paper which is stuck
on this white foam board. I am going to use these
three paintbrushes. One is a flat 11 is
around little thicker, and one is a liner brush. These three brushes
and the colors, I am going to use
our dark green, yellow, white, brown, black. So very limited. Okay, So let's start let's, let me start with taking
out all the colors.
3. Step 1 - Outside Window Misty Trees: Just as a bit of black, brown, I'm going to take out some time. Let's just first start with
a, with the background. We basically the view that you're seeing
through the window. So let's start with
that, but okay, so before we get onto
mpg, the background, just wanting to create
a very light outline, basically the drawing
of the painting. So feel free to use a
pencil if you want to. I'm just being a
little courageous and doing it with a paintbrush. See this line will be
perfected later after we are done with the background. But just to do the background, I just wanted to, let's say
just a couple of lines. Alright, so now let's start
creating the background. So I have chosen to do this green background because
I really liked the green, nice outside the window. So that's why I chose this one. I'm starting with the
light color from the top. Okay, quite a bit of white
and add it on the top. And now watch all the
colors are mixing. Tiny bit of dark green, tiny bit of black. And since I already
had a lot of white, I didn't have to
take much of white. It's already my brush. And now watch the spot. We wanted to do a hazy
background, right? Because it's raining and itself. I'm like very dry stroking the color in the background and spatially the top of fruit, I'm letting it blend in into
the white that I had done so that it looks like it gives
that foggy located on exit. Now let's come down. Let's keep coming down. And as you're coming down, we can darken that. She'd just a bit of
that became a lot Doc. So you see how
gradually we must do my rigid from light
to dark here. And I'm going to make it
just a bit more of dark. Actually quite dark. And you see what's happening. My flat brush is too
big for this area. So I'm switching to the small round brush
without taking any color. I'm just blending
into the background. To do some trees. Nothing is too prominent too, because it's all in the
background and it's raining, so nothing is very
clearly visible. Cool. That's done. Now without
washing the brush, I'm picking up little
bit of yellow and I'm adding that in the
front area over here. And you see I'm, I'm
blending this color also into the green
black of the background. Me draft some tissue paper and just get rid off all
the excess Slack and move to more of yellow
and add more of yellow here. That's it. See, we created really nice
land outside the window. It's like almost
like a greenfield that you can go out
running anytime. And now we want to create
some the pavement area over your toes trying to create
a slanting line over here. That's it. She's adding a bit more of yellow just to make it look
a little vibrancy. We don't want to make
it really a lot vibrant because there's going to
be water under the window. So just a little bit as fine. These are some of the
background trees just adding. I mean, it's not really yellow, light shade of green. That's it. I think we did a fantastic
job with the background. I'm just feeling that I want to take this up a
little bit more. Okay. So I'm just dragging
this up a bit more. Background his evenings. Now in the next step we're going to add the pavement
area over here, which is outside that window.
4. Step 2 - Outside Window Pavement: So the color we are going
to use for this tape is white and black,
mostly grayish. So I am creating
those two colors, mixing and including it. Let's start applying the color was always to keep the perspective what we
have to do, light to dark. That's all we have to do. Okay? So starting with the
really light on the top. And as we come down, we're going to get a little bit dark morning, right? Freed up the whole
place, light to dark. Now all we have to let it
dry and add the color. I just want to make
it little bit more white because I just
feel it's too dark. Yeah, that's that looks good. And once it is dried, we will go on top of it
and create those pavement. But until it dries, what I'm going to do is I will create a straight line over here and get that training. So for that, I'm switching
to my liner brush and I'm using black and creating this straight line over
here in this direction. So what you can do
is you can use as a scale and a pencil
and draw this line out. If you feel you have, you would struggle to
create this straight line. So do that. And I'm going to take
this all the way up here. Now, some of it is not
going to be visible this corner because the
blanket is going to come here. But as much I can
me just the line. Oops. My line is created. Now, obviously, the right
side of the line is not perfectly done and that's because I'm going to
add some colors over there. So I'm not too bothered
about it right now. There's going to be
multiplying that comes up. This is basically the
line on the pavement. I'll say the window. Okay. So this is not one
of the window. Let's look a little tricky. And I'm going to add little
gray line in-between it. I am using a little water because working
with a small brush, It's always good to
have a little water so that it flows smoothly. So do realize that this is the basement we're
doing outside, which is basically
connecting to the field. So this is a pavement
outside the window and just next to the
speed that we just made. Okay, that's done. And now we'll let us also
create the pigment lines with a little darker shade of
gray than what we have done on the background. Too much of water. So just wipe it off and
get as close as possible. I'm not trying to
create these lines very, very prominent. It's almost hazy because the view is from the
window where there is water on top of it. So it's not going to
be fairly prominent. But that's all. We have completely done. The scene outside
that window now. And now we will come
inside and we will start creating the window panel. Yeah, so let's do that
in the next step.
5. Step 3 - Wooden Window Frame: The next step, a, we need a lot of brown. So I'm taking off my dog realm. Now if you don't have
these exact shade, you can use burnt sienna or any other brown
shade that you have. That's totally fine. Okay, so let's start doing that. And for that right now, rather than using
the liner brush, I am using this little
thicker round brush, which is a string because
we are going to be doing little thick lines first and after that, the penal length. So I'm using this one so that I can quickly a cover up the area. Okay. So you can see it's a broad
line with one stroke. You can fill up
quite a bit, right? So that's the
fascinating part of it. Make sure the lines are all
parallel to this one, right? We are not focused on creating
the exact shade right now, so we're focused on
I'm just filling up the area first and
then the liner brush, we will go and add
on the lifestyle. I'm not trying to create exactly nice lines are
because I will do that with the liner brush using multiple colors to give
a little bit of sheets. And I feel it's
pretty much done. See, we got a really nice shade. This isn't the exact
shade we want. So we have, we'd go over it
and do it one more time. And let's do the
exact same thing. In the bottom area. Also. Say I'm not washing my brush, I'm just wiping it off and mixing white and black and gray. So now this little bit
of brown I already had on my brush, which is fine. And with that, I am creating
this line over here. Again, just filling it up. Okay, that's done. Now, this is where
the blanket comes and the monk comes here. So the mound we're going to
do absolutely at the end. Let's just first mark
out on that area, okay. How much work to be done. So let's do that. We are having some black here. Just makes sure that
the lines are parallel. Okay, so that is a
very important thing of creating this painting. Now without washing my brush, I'm taking some brown and
going just next to it. Adding a little white
with it to create some shadow and see my hand movement is
completely parallel to this final line that we
have added here, right? So let's do some
nice wooden texture. Right now. Again, we're not trying
to do any texturing. We are just trying to
fill it out completely. Hi, It's so pretty much all of our background is done and just a little bit
left, which is this part. Let me do that five
as well right now. So I must open my brush, but not very clean. And now I'm picking up white
and glean on this area. Okay, I think my
brush is pretty slim. Little bit of brown and
black is coming out. That's exactly what I wanted. You can take a bit of yellow and brown just to make it darker. You don't want it. Most give white Parallel,
Parallel, Parallel. Okay, Make sure it's very important to have the
perspective, right? See the black was, wait over there, so I picked
it up and that's fine. It's giving me a shade
or shadow to this area. And this part is also done. All of our background is done. In the next step, we're going
to draw the the objects, which is the book and
the blanket over here. And then we will go
over and add all the detailing to all these places.
6. Step 4 - The Objects Book & Blanket: All right, So let's
start painting. All the objects are doubled. Again. I'm going to use my
liner brush to draw it out, sketch it out, but feel free
to do it with a pencil. I am mixing of white and
black, making some pretty. This is a little tricky, so just pay attention here and watch you don't where I'm starting and
where it is going. Okay. So I'm stacking on top of this black line over here. Are just scared, even
for me to do this. It's a little tricky. But you get that, don't worry. You can barely see it. So I'll use black would come
in like this, do like this. This seems a little
light from here. So here is the final line
applying that we don't pan out. And then this line coming. That is the complete that yeah. I can see an old book also. Lets it. So this is the area
of the blue book. This is the area of the blanket. So our whole sketching is done. Now. Pause it here, possibly do here, and look at all the lines and do it with a pen so that
if any of you go wrong, you can erase it and
you can do it again. Okay, so now I will move
on to filling it up. And now I'm not using
those two liner brush, I'm using the round round brush, which is a little kickoff
because it will help me cover the place. So first thing that
I'm doing is I'm adding the white
onto the booklet. Later on I'm going
to come and do all the nice designs and stuff. But right now I just
wanted to clean it up. Okay. The book portion is covered. It's not completely
done as you can see. You can still see the markings. So we will go over it once
again, once it dries. But until then, let's
just fill up the blanket. So now again, I'm
going to fill it up with the color of the
shade of the blanket. Okay. Watch it. You will understand
what I mean by that. So. Here is one line
of gray over here. And I'm adding some light shade. And I'm going to use a
little bit of this brown mix also this to get this shade. But if you're burnt
sienna is giving you a different shape,
That's also fine. It doesn't have to be
exactly the same shape, but if you mix white, black, and brown, you get this
really pretty shade, which is what we want. So always a blending
is keep the Blending, right, okay, from whatever
color you're doing. And let's do the dark side, dark areas, which is
basically the underneath of the blanket with
the shadows of Omi and lighten it up on this side. Okay, So this is the
dark area which is done. Now. One more dark area is here. So adding a lot of black
on this shadow area. And as we're coming out, I'm mixing white and brown mix. See how easy it is. It's not as complicated
as it looks. Adding more of this shade
and covering each duck. We continue in this color. So you see the mix of these three colors produces
really nice color, black, white, and brown. That's all pretty
much what I'm doing. Now. The colors are depending
on what color you have. Your sheets can vary just a little bit and
that's totally fine. Okay. You don't have to get
the exact same shade as mean because this is also
exactly not the same sheet as I have in the photograph. I'm pretty much
doing it on my own. So you don't even if you're not getting
the exact same thing, It's freaky by adding
a piece of the dark. So basically, all
we're doing here is blending the colors
from one area to another. Main job is blending later on degrees, adding the shadows. And so pretty much all of it has been blocked up. Just a little bit,
just not done better and whatnot. So we've covered the whole of blanket that was
quite a dark gray. And now, before moving
on to the next step, what I'm going to do is
just to wash off my brush and add one more
layer of white pillar so that it gets
blended really well. And the background
doesn't show through. Alright, done in the next step, we are going to create
the window panel properly adding all the
texture and the texture, especially I love
doing this part, so we'll get to that. And also the window better.
7. Step 5 - Creating The Wooden Textures: Now in this step we are going
to do a lot of detailing. So get ready for it
with a liner brush. Liner brush is the key
for this painting. I feel, by the way, if you notice that the
white is completely not, still has not covered
the background, right? So we've done two layers and probably we will
have to do a third, if required, a fourth
layer as well, but we will look into that. Okay. Now let's start by creating the beautiful panels
over here in this top part. So I'm just moving my canvas
a little bit enough or isn't true because I
am more comfortable creating horizontal lines
and vertical lines. But the only thing
that you need to make sure is that everything
is parallel. I feel at this point this
is not exactly parallel, but by the time I come here, I will create a more pattern. So I'm starting off
with the black. Absolutely. At the end. The next color I'm taking is brown. That little mix of white, which is basically
the color that we already have, the background, but just to make it a
much more predominant. Okay, then I am continuing with this color
just a little bit more. I'm just repeating
all the colors that I'm adding so that you get a good idea understanding
of exactly what I'm doing. After that, I add one line or two lines of
brown and then one line long. Okay? Again, going back
to the brown mix and adding some more brown. Now, I already have such
nice shading the background. I don't completely
want to ruin that. So I'm not adding too
much of color here. And I am continuing doing that. I'm just leaving a little
gap because already it has some background
color over here. So all I'm doing is adding
another line of brown, little distance in-between
or gap of lacking. And I didn't little white with it just to create
a beautiful shape. Now see as I'm coming
close to the end, you can see how the fat. And then after this,
I'm adding black. This site, right side,
I'm adding black. On the left side, I'm mixing the black
with the brow. So it's blending
from black to brown. There you go. It's pretty much done except I'm going to add
a line of black. Sure. And a little bit of brown, light brown on either
side of the white. Now, I can give you a
trick of doing this. You can actually use a gel pen. If you are not very comfortable, we need with the brush. And finally, on
the absolute left, I'm just adding next to the
brown, next to the black. One more layer of
line of light rail. I know too many lines. Kind of confusing,
but we're done. That's it. Now you will see the
clean look once we take off the masking tape. But this is done as of now. And just adding a little lines over here in the background. Done. Now, let's do
this line over here, which is also part of the panel. Although window starting
off with a white line, then a line of black and
brown and white mix. Black at the end of it. Then moving on to
white and gray. So here we're going
to do a little bit of blending with the
black in the center. And three, on this side. You may forget on
top of the blanket, that's fine because
when we do whittling down, there you go. We have our needle on bottom. Okay, Now we will
continue and do this box. So when doing this,
what's going to happen is we're going to get
inside the book a little bit and
that's totally fine. Black all the way to recall. I'm trying not to
get inside the book as much as possible,
but that's fine. This is on the creativity comes. I love this but watch it. So first thing I'm doing
is Leighton Brown. And I'm going to create
this wouldn't shop. I already have a
background and all I'm doing is creating. I hope my hand is
not blocking it. First thing what I'm
gonna do is I'm going to create the blacks in-between, pure and one here. And now you're going to go in-between and this
kind of lines. We just add a few black lines. Plus let's start
with the black line. See I'm using the absolute
tip of the brush to create, asked him lines as possible. Isn't that beautiful? See now I'm changing the color
and going without ground. Shane. Cheating some more lines. You go. Isn't that so cool? Now, I feel this flag
has become to take. So what I'm gonna do
it, just going to go over it and add a little bit of it than not sure, the line is not very clean. So I'm just going to add a line of white. That's it. So completely gone on
to add any gray here. So once we take off the tape, you will see how
pretty it's looking, although ages, couple
of black lines. Now in the next step,
we are going to do all the detailing
on the blanket. But before going on
to the next step, I am going to add one more
layer of white on the book. Especially on this layer, I feel all the masks
are on the most fun. And then once we
add the color of the book is going to
be completely covered.
8. Step 6 - Paint The Blanket Creases: Alright, in this debt, Let's do the blanket, Let's get all the detailing. So when I did this
painting first time, I think I fixed the
most difficulty in doing the blanket colors by tau. I'm going to try and
break it down in as much easy steps
as possible for you. I'm picking out
some more of white. And let's start. So it's going to be a
mix-up these three colors, basically, black,
brown, and white. Okay. Okay. So I have prepared kind
of a dark shade and let's go around the age. Okay, Dan, now, let's add in little white and
a little bit of blending. Always give the right
amount of light and shadow. Sure, I am at the end. It's a blending from
light to dark over here. Okay? Now let's create some of
the lines of the blanket. Okay, so see how I do that. I'm taking little bit of darker
shade for this new line. So this is when you're painting actually starts to look
really realistic, completely. Dan them fast. And now we'll continue
this on the slide. And we'll see over here, this color will not work
because the background is kind of dark. Here. I'm using a lady, the adult, why to do those things. Also doing Elizabeth
was blamed in-between. Even here also, I'm adding a few of white as not really white, but kind of light lines. I'm not trying to define them. I'm just going and touching
up all the places, right? Same thing. Some light
shades over here. Okay, and now let's go with some dark lines and
create some dark. So let's make it
even darker because this part is quite dark. Okay, Now, we are continuing
this line from here onwards. So for that, I have to add
a little touch of white, otherwise it will
not be visible. But it's pretty much the
continuation of this line. There you go. Don't you think it's looking so 3D shape now, so realistic. Now, in the next step, we are going to color
the book completely.
9. Step 7 - The Book: So to do the book, first thing what we're going
to do is add a layer of white and then at the
sheets on top of it. So this is not going
to be just white, but we will add in the sheets of the book also in this one. The first thing I'm starting
off with is the white. And now for the shape inside, I am using a little bit of
white and brown mix just to make it a little bit
of light whitish shade. And adding that shade at the bottom of the blanket basically just to
show the shadow. I think burnt sienna
will give you even a better sheet at this point if you're
using that shade. Okay, and then I'm just going on the age off it
also a little bit. Okay. Now overshot. This is where we're going to
add just a bit more today. But first what I'm doing is
I'm just going at Hello. And I'm adding the color in the direction of the book pages. Okay. So this is done. And now to do the outlining,
see what I'm doing. With the end of the book. Pages are I am
creating the pages. So I don't want it so dark, so I'll use a little bit. Okay. There you go. So
on the pages have been, the ending of the pages
have been mocked. And now I'll go and create
some of the lines. Again. We're not going to go in
from the detailing of them. Just going to create
some lines random. Well, I write pretty much done. That's it. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to
let this dry a little bit. This white section
that I've done. And while that is drying, I am going to can I create that? I am going to okay. I need a little bit of
orange for this spending. So let me just stick out
a little bit of orange. Just a tiny, tiny bit. It's just going to make the
painting look really vibrant, okay, and I'm just taking out
a little bit of blue also. You can use a lighter
version of sky blue also, if you have that Mr.
tiny bit of well, these two colors and see
what I'm going to do here. Add a little touch up off. So this is the book cover
make basically right. What she does. And a little d and we'll border
it out with black. Thank you for just a
little touch of orange and blue just makes it
look so good, isn't it? Okay. So now, while
this is drying, okay, It's a bit wet. I'm going to just sketch
out the coffee mug now. Okay, so let's do
the coffee mug.
10. Step 8 - Coffee Mug: All right. Before doing the coffee mug because it's going to
be in the same job. The painting, I think our
border work is completely done. So I can peel off the tape now and see
how good it is looking. It always gives a
fresh perspective. When you peel off the tape. Look at the keen painting. All right, So it's
been untapped and it looks really classy to meet I felt with all the clean edges. Now, the final thing
that we're going to do three things, coffee mug, raindrops, and we're going to write
in the book, is that okay? So let's start off with
creating the coffee mug first. Again, I am doing it with
my being a little bit adventurous and doing it with
the paintbrush directly. But feel free to do it
with a pencil first. Now that the shape
has been done on, I am trying to do is
fill it up with blood. Done. And I will create
the hand and also not very perfect. But you came out. And I'm going to add
some shadow, also, adding just a tiny bit of light on the back. Okay. And I'm going to add
some more shadow sure. To give the three-dimensional
effect of the mug, adding some white on the side. Okay, It's done. Now let's fill on the
top of the coffee mug. So for that, I am using little bit of brown
and orange mix. Okay, more orange. Now we will let it dry
just a little bit and then I'll come and add
some more on top of it. That's up on the coffee mug, is just a little bit of white. And adding on the
complete rim of the cup and a couple of lines. Adding some marks to
give dimensional effect. Okay. Just adding a bit more
black to make it dark in some of the newborn. So the monkey is
completely done. And now we're going
to do green jobs. And the x on the book.
11. Step 9 - Raindrops: Now let me teach
you how to create the raindrops on a window panel, okay, so we are going
to do just that. Next. Let's do it. Okay, so the main color, I'm going to use this
black and white. So I am just kidding. All shades of gray over here. Okay. I have the lighter one this side of
the darker one this side. So watch it how I do it. Starting on the top so that you could understand it better. So we're going to
create lines like this. You're not going to
make it a full circle. You're just going to
leave it at one end. It can be in all sorts
of shapes that you want. Now, it's very dark. I'm going to use a little
lighter version of this. And water of course. Let the chefs be whatever. See, I'm not really
following exactly how it is, but I am doing it
in my own, right. Too dark, trying
to lighten them. Now let me complete
these views so that you understand how
it's going to look. I'm washing off my
brush completely and taking a wind tunnel and adding white to finish the
circle that we left out. So without washing them, I'm switching on and off
between three and white. See the wind was not really
visible on the white section, but while they do it on
the green background, It's going to be much
more better visible. Similarly on top of
this dark background, the white is going to
be even more prominent. I am kind of bearing
the shades of gray in different places. Depending on the background, I am changing the droplet color. In some places, I am keeping
elongated lines also, which is almost like the job. It's kind of falling. Now as we come here, It's pretty light over here, so we're switching to
a darker tone, gray. See the tip of your liner brush has to be really pointed
to get it right. So in-between all of
them that we just did on just revisit with
a little touch of white. Okay, Now that most
of it is covered, now we'll just going to add a few small dots here and there. I don't want them
to be too vibrant. And that's why I'm
using little light green and not pure white. This can be a little
tedious work, but it's all worth it. It's going to make
it look really nice. Enjoy the process of
making these dots. Don't worry too much. Following to look
fantastic at the end. Over here at the bottom section, we have added mostly big blobs. Now I'm just going to add a
seems more in one's life. Great. I think that's
pretty enough. But if you want to add more, by all means, add a few more. I'm not going to stop you. More. You add better. It looks also change the sheets. And that's it. That's really good amount
of raindrops on the window. Now the final thing is
liquid to add the text tool.
12. Step 10 - Write The Script In The Book: Okay. Before adding the
text on the bookstore, I got rough journal
and I'm going to show you roughly how to go about it. Okay? So we are not going
to write the exact text. Now, if you want to do that by all means, go ahead and do it. But we are going to write it. So I got a black gel pen. Any black chip and that
you have is totally fine. And we're just going to add
like scribbles like this. Keep some gap in-between
and just do this. I learned this technique of
writing scripts like this. I still remember in 2017. And I actually loved so much that I immediately
practiced it like this, like the way I'm showing
it to you right now on a blank piece of paper
for a really long time. And so if you're doing
this for the first time, you might feel a
little difficulty, but I hope not. Just practice it on a
piece of paper like this. And you are good to go. Okay? This is pretty much
what we're going to do. So try this out. And now I
am going to do it over here. So since you can see the book
cover is listed like this. So my script is also going to go exactly in that same direction. Isn't that so cool? And now you're in
the same process. I am going to sign my name. Should I do in this direction? Yeah, I think so.
13. Final Words: There you go. You have it. This gorgeous painting, I know it looks so difficult
when you look at it. You don't know how to
go about painting it, but it's kind of
easy as you can, as you know already by now, if you've followed along and done this painting
along with me, you understand how easy it is. It's not really difficult. We just break down it bit by
bit and do the whole staff. And I hope you got a really good understanding of
painting raindrops. So you can, you
saw how easy it is just to make a half circle and then fill it up with
a little bit of white. I hope you, once you get this hanger creating
these raindrops, you can do it on any painting
that you want to do. And thank you so
much for joining. I had a lot of fun eating this
painting because honestly, I never thought I
will be able to teach this painting because I always thought is
really difficult. But I think that getting
a lot of raindrops gave me a lot of confidence to be able to teach this
painting and I'm, I'm so glad to teach
it to you guys. So let me know how
you liked it and what you create and
look forward to seeing all of your lovely Great. I invite you to explore all the different
