Transcripts

1. Introduction: How would you imagine snowy morning in the mountains? Would you be cuddled up in Knuckles IV into keeping drinking coffee in bed, watching snowflakes gently collect near the window sill, and dreaming about what adventures would be going to next. Perfect, right? Hello dear friends. My name is Marie and I'm an artist from India, and I welcome you all love the people from across the globe. To discuss this winter inspired painting class, using gosh as the medium. In this class, we will be painting a cozy winter cabin, a few blue lights at the windows. The k-mean will be surrounded by pine trees, and we will add these in different number of years, photorealistic touch. This class is of intermediate level and hence does not include basic gosh techniques separately. Or do not worry if you are a big no, I've got you covered as I explain everything, why lapping in a step-by-step manner. So what are you waiting for? Come join me and paint along with me in this class. See you in the next lesson. 2. Art Supplies: Let's see the materials that we need for this class. For do people use any peak watercolor paper which is at least 200 GSM? I usually prefer smooth texture for grasping. For the project, I will be using monotony AMDR people, which is approximately 15 by 21 centimeters. My gosh beans that I will be using is a masterclass set of 16 by White Nights. You can use any brand that you own or even both two colors would be fine. For the brushes. I'm using heritage set up for my Princeton. It has a three-quarters flat brush. Size ten, precise tree and your size three by 0 round brushes. These are synthetic sable vein and hence are good for water. Again, I'm provided with snap. It just north necessary to have so many brushes. Only our flat brush and a round brush with a good find. It is what? I will be using this transparent palette for mixing the paints. I'm asking did a Zoom and a fine liner or micron pen. Bike Ben autos a little pen. I will be also using this palette, nice for mixing purposes. It is also ready, have wounds, grabbing our paints from the adopts, a job or container of water, wash nappies. Any hard to board for fixing the project. You can attach the project, whatever. But in this way, you can move your project in different ways. The aud audit issue. See you in the making off my project. 3. Fixing the paper: So now this time the project onto the stack by dating from one side of the people. I am, I am boiling and policing the masking tape exactly on top of the age of the people. My son goes on top off the masking tape. In short that Andrew gaps in between the Muslim ban the people. If you prefer, you can use this scheme for this. But it is not necessary because that is not much of water in water. So that it has been mostly because of the consistency or the cost base. By ensuring this process, you are also ensuring clean borders. 4. Sketch: So let's start the sketch, my drawing as glue. Draw two small baselines for the keeping on top of the slope. The baseline for the Caribbean is approximately seven centimeters. Mark the center from the baseline and or double lines from the sides. And it will look as a triangle. Draw a rectangle somewhat in the center of the Caribbean. Draw another small window on top of this main window. Let's draw a baseline for the window you I'm erasing and reducing the size. A bit. Dark double outlines for all the windows as bars. Making such double our plants will give a good to semblance of outside bars of the window. I'm sketching some dark lines for the inside bars of the window. Make two to three vertical lines anywhere on the window. This will resemble the inside parts for the window. Close the double line for the roof. Draw some lines as brick like patterns at the base of the Cuban. These lines are just to show you that we will be having some pine trees. You are in the background. I'm sketching a small chimney. You are at the top of the gaming. You can make brick leg patterns here. And we are done with the sketch. 5. Color palette: The colors we need, madder lake, red, yellow light, lamp, black, burnt umber, Prussian blue, and white. 6. Color mixing and swatches for sky: I'm taking three parts of white with the help of a palette knife. I'm making three shades of blue year, but you can also make two. Instead. I will take some Prussian blue with the help of a pallet knife and mix it well with white. I have speed at section 22 x here. But you can always do the spirit of your preference. For the second part, I'm going to add two parts of the pollution load to the white mix that is only proper mixing that is required here. So I have split the sections. Palette knife is very helpful for mixing the paints. Now my lab, the second part of Prussian blue, to create a darker blue shade. If you want, you can only create these two sheets, which is the darkest and lightest one. And the intermediate shade, will be formed automatically while I'm now adding and mixing blue to the white and creating and temperature change between the two. So I'll swatch that color shades for you now because you are done with that mixing. This is the darkest blue piece still sheet that we have obtained. This is the lightest or the icy blue kind of obesity sheet. And here it is the n-dimensional pieces that you can either create Oscar. So other than the blue pistols for the sky, we also need some red and yellows. So I'm adding a very tiny pinch off madder lake red to the white and mixing it well. So you would have split this section because it is on the mixing and nothing much to observe. We will get a pink shade. Let's watch this space here, the red color and see how it looks. And it is really pretty. So this is the base still read sheared that we need. Photo-based and yellow shear, add some yellow light to the white and mix it. Well. Make sure you have a good quantity of the space in yellow because we will need it more in quantity to paint the sky as well as the bottom ground. So you'll notice that beautiful yellow base to shade. And these other colors for this guy. 7. Blending the sky: Let's start painting the sky forced with the I love Excel sheet. I usually start with the outlines and then gradually move forward with the painting. Just color blocking the bottom part with this shade. Also makes sure that you are painting in a thicker consistency because that is what we need here. I'm painting the outlines carefully, but you can be carefree and paint because gosh is a forgiving medium. That is, it can be corrected as it is, take opaque and creamy and can be walked up on indifferent and multiple layers. I am now switching to my three-quarters finite brush and filling in the bottom space with this base still yellow color block, this bottom region evenly. Almost half of the sky or more, is covered with this pastel yellow shade. I'm using some water you to even out this texture. You can use very little water to spread the paint, like how I'm doing here. I'm covering the bottom part here. But it is not actually needed because we will have background trees here and everything will be covered. So I'll wash my brush now and next state the base, so red shade. I'm adding this red pasted lines directly on top of the yellow shade. Using back-and-forth motion of the brush, I will blend this well. That is, you have to move left to right from bottom to the top. You will get smooth blends while the paint is wet. So if you feel that a painting is starting to dry up, use a little water or use more pins. Next time washing my brush and taking the lightest pastel blue shade. Similar to the previous step, I'm adding this at the top of the red paste and shade and blending it. Well. You can use this method for blending by adding one color on top of the other. I personally like planting all the colors together at the end. I have blended the intermediate loop is still shared with the lightest one as well. Now, taking the darkest blue pastry shade at the top, blend everything well. Just go left and right and make sure the paints are wet or use a very small amount of water for blending. That is, your brush should be just wait. If your brushes dry and the paints are wet, it will form streaky kind of pattern. The blend will not be even. So take care about this. You will be able to blend well if your paper is thick enough. So since the basal red is dried up now I'm adding more, pasted it on top of this layer and blending it well. Please be sure to wash your brush while switching with the different shapes of the sky. You want form multi colors because of the pastry chefs that we have created. But just take care that you do not make some blue and yellow because it might form a green. And you obviously do not want a green in the sky. However, the chances are very, very less because of the sheets being in pasted form. So you can always, always correct such mistakes by adding more layers of pins. And that is the beauty of caution that we surely cannot ignore. I've moved from bottom to the top, and now I will do the same by adding more layer of looping and then move to the bottom. You can follow any direction from top to bottom or vice versa, as per your preference. 8. Color swatches: For the bottom, I see ground which reflects sunset. We will need to shave so which is a darker, gray and lighter or darker shade. Now I'm mixing a tiny thing, just lack in and adding some white or yellow to form this lighter, warm gray. We will also need burnt umber for the given. My adding more water to this color gives such an effect. You will also need a map. By adding a small black in the pace of new shade, you give us an icy blue shade. This is stuck on that. Using on the pine trees as basically the window panes. You can observe the color difference between the light and the ICD. 9. Cabin: I'm mixing a little bond on bot with this yellow shade. The windows with this light brown shade. It's nothing specific year but I'm just using the leftover paint from the brush. I'm using burnt umber, what the cabin. But the outermost part of the cabin, I will paint and darker and thicker consistency. Whereas for the central part, I will be using light, but there's a watery mix of burnt umber. Observe us how good adhesion of water we can create different effects like that. Who would? I'm using round Wrigley kind of motion of the brush here. First I'm adding some bond on both the sides. And then using water, I am creating Wrigley motion to create this effect. For the base of the cabin. I'm going to add black. I will post on the outlines in the form of bricks. You can also use a dry brush stroke here. You can keep this at this point you are now, or you can be indeed completely with black and then paint the texture on the top. So now I'm showing both the waist here. I'm using the base two in the yellow and adding some texture as bricks. On top of this black delivered. I had some black at the outside of the bars but do we know also add some to the roof lining? I'm using dry brush strokes here because I will be adding a little white on top of this, which will give it our charcoal look. If you want, you can mix it separately on the palette as well. Be careful while painting this line here. So since I'm directly mixing on the paper, I'm adding more white to black now. I will paint the outside bars of the window with the same color now. Dark shade also looks better. So I won't keep this shape for the outside. Just make sure it is not exactly Blackman because the inside bottom of the window could get lacking guns and knives in. Boys. Do not worry if the underneath gains are getting activated. Then with dark colors, blending with the underneath, add some burnt umber for protection and mediations. Normally in gosh, it is not referred to. And then tear off the bark. Texture and fun. I'm directly on the big boom. Nereid, some burnt umber for more contrast to this small line at the top of the tomb in Nevada. So government lack measuring via nor disability difference between the charcoal gray and black up the bars of the window. After making the spot on the dendritic. Yet I will add to the top and Weissman, Let's add some contrast with black for the base on the god. I'm lining the inside of Peru with some black now and it should be ready 109. I'm using a dry brush technique. You're exiting the excess off the pigment. Dynamesh technique involves using the brush on the pigment and no water. The brushstrokes are incomplete by this and some places, but that is more area. The scopes are larger compared to the ones which have a less space. Mountain. Some black schools wash our brush now. We will be now using the base still icy moon shape or the window panes. I had a small line with black on the window with the ISO. The darker shade, shadow on the Moon. 10. First layer for pine trees: I'm drawing some lines for the branches of the pine trees. The pine trees in the world, the other cavemen are shorter in, whereas the ones of what's alone, Good. I'm using black for the, underneath. The lines that we have drawn are the baselines for the pine trees. From bare here half to make a triangle looking fine. But for each of the pine tree is really simple, all you need to keep in mind is the basis will be Ticket. Distract from the other thoughts. I have sped up the process because it is very much fabricators, swapping, being alone. Or if you want to slow down this huge section that you can access the speed asked me, be specific while painting the pine, nice. Complete random while painting this pine tree, I'm adding the branches first and then the food. So it is not necessarily exactly the way I am. Because your pine tree might differ from mine. You consider several ways of painting pine trees. The pine trees with more of the black. It just fine if the BCR is getting activated and forming a charcoal gray triangles. Using the tip of my brush, release gently. I am making the tops of some type. Use any brush that you need this for. This. Similarly paint the pine trees on the opposite side. Being distinct id to meet overlapping. It sends up or down patio and you are done with our underneath. 11. Icy ground: Us based only on the bottom I see grab the dark, washing my brush. I'm using some bottleneck or WhatsApp group and blending with the bottom part should be more darker. If you're being asked in red, you should be able to blend it easily. The shared, so great. I'm blending all of this to get done on. I'm using just a small gap of water to blend this together. Us walked out on me because my son, I will add some more great for texture and shadows. These are random strokes which I will name Diego. I got dressed from AdWords to Innosight and create some strokes like this instead of bending it. This one add depth and texture to the IC. Using my brush, I'm now adding some textures in the form of small dots. Blend these thoughts in the background. A good consistency off Connie, I will scatter some at the bottom here. You're seeing that paper on a toddler color, the top portion, not the project. That's it for this snowy ground. 12. Second layering: Our second layer for the pine trees will be overlapping the black with the IC. I'm painting the four days on top of black while still showing the underneath. Some of the underneath visible part and added depth is in the form of small dots and clusters. Since the process is acidic because I've sped up this week, you can adjust the speed from the speed section. I'm adding some downward strokes lock you up before. So again, See you back now I'm crowbar majority of odd, fine piece, this icy blue color. And I'll read a little of a block has been also add some IC near the kidney on the ground. With I see on the bingo says, well, by using the Dutch in some dipping smoke from the Windows, add some snow on them first. Also add already 109 were burdened with the same icy blue. You can also use a white pen instead. 13. Layering and highlights: If you're not comfortable with brush, you can also use a white pen. As a second meal. I'm adding more bite on top of the IC. Give it more highlighted look with the regulator. Lot of white left bound. I'm Josh, I'm adding a string for the nights. I will wash my brush right now and take some yellow for the types. I'm adding it as wrong thoughts on the string. Using a damp brush. I am not blend into the rest of the K1 with them or lending what they will give a light. Blue. No, I just got so big the green light bulbs. Let's wash our brush now. I'm going to pick consistency. All right, I will not highlight on the ICF most known. This is satiety. I'd put a pine trees white, ensure that the ***** to ask them visible. Since the bottom biters, not bad, right? And I am going or what? One mole, fine. 30s. And it's also the cost of understanding what's not right. Let's paint the paint. I'm doing it in the seventies, so good. With black. I'm painting the Bob socks on the details. I'm painting once more paint to just the top of it. Now with the thick consistency of white, I'm painting of snow, date and paint. You can paint any of your favorite teams. I have some water spilled on this project and that assumes an office lines. Such a nightmare, right? But I will leave this project as it is. Request the more you try to fix something, the motor it was. So sometimes it is good if you accept loss. And finally, I support for the pine trees. I'm using a wedding cake or consistency or fight and I didn't go home. Can you see the difference that it has made my painting layer? So what? I am now going with some brush strokes from the outer rings to what's inside. And it just shows the left, the warping that is on the brush. So complete random brush strokes that are towards the bottom. Wash your brush now because we are done with that painting and that is on your mind, you do snack and may require Micron pens and Jelly Roll pen for that. 14. Final details: So first I'm using this micron pen off naught phone number. I guess the nib is off point to fight and you start drawing lines across a table like this. Imagine that the Woodward are launched into get-go one about the adult for New Zealand general fan. I will not proceed with the exact same procedure just to take this time to have to draw the white line on top of the black line. Why places like this? I'm directly with the hand insert office. This is willing to December 10th node that is settle in-between the wooden blocks. I didn't highlight few more avionics better, the biggest necessary. And also with the Micron I really doctrine few of the slides. You can choose to skip this mine, you'd be dx. And I think now it is done. 15. Painting reveal: Let us find the painting by removing the masking tape. Be extra careful one of the main masking tape, this angle and maintain attention while pulling. So you'll notice about this painting. I hope you liked it. I know how the base circle that's showing the stinking from me. It has to end up being project. I'm going to paint the pine trees, add an icon, it's made me the magical theory. So thank you for like the mask needs to liberating effect when helped me a lot. So see you in the next graph.
