Hello, Everyone

I'm Sukrutha, the artist behind @watercolors_by_sukrutha on instagram..

Paints & Papers have always fascinated me.. I have tried various different mediums over the years but none of them are as better an option as watercolor medium..the magical flow of paint on wet paper, the thrill of unpredictability, the magical soft end results were my final answer..!!!

I always challenge myself to explore and experiment different themes and subjects.. I share my thoughts on failures and successes equally on instagram..its all such an interesting process and my life with watercolors is always an adventure..:)

I teach watercolors privately, on my instagram profile as well as here on skillshare..i always look forward to share my passion of watercolor... See full profile

1. Introduction: Hello guys, welcome to my new class. Today's class is all about painting and just painting. I believe the last four classes of mine were very heavy with all the information. So I taught this class would be a little differently. In today's class, we're going to paint only for the sake of painting. And we're gonna paint only three landscapes today. And the first one would be a simple castle with sunset in the background. And the second one would be not the light. And the third one would be a gloomy sunset with green and yellow combinations that will grab a cup of coffee and we are going to relax and Ben distri landscape. So let's get started. 2. Art Supplies: Yeah. 3. Trip To A Castle: But our first project of the class on mountaintop, I'm using orange, indigo colors. Colors, ready on my palate. So let's start by writing the paper. So instead of taking orange directly, makes it a little bit of violet. Now it's the perfect color that I want, and I will start adding it in the middle of the paper. And followed right after is orange. Make sure your paper stays wet. Now, as we move towards the top of the paper, the color gets darker. So I have added a lot of violet to that pink and orange mixture. Now take orange and finish the bottom of the paper with the same color. Now let's move to the top of the paper. Like I said, the color gets darker as we move upward. So I'm taking indigo now, Dhaka. So take as much as Indigo you wish, and just drag the color down, make the buffet. But I'm going to take a small number of brush. Clout. Should be very realistic. With the backbone. Now, let's keep this one trying. Now, once the background is completely dry, pick a small number brush lots and lots of indigo. The mountain trust. Now with even smaller number brush with the same Indigo. It's not very detail or anything. Just add a field was so I wanted to reduce as much work as possible. Landscape. So I'm not even going for a sketch beforehand. So it's like we're almost done with the, let's keep this one drying. I'm taking whitewash, a small number one brush, and I'm gonna add on the painting and add a few light. This has proven to be so much fun. I never painted before. On the evening sky. I hope your line and small tutorial on to the next one, which is a bit advanced, but banded together. And I will guide you through all of it. So let's move on to the next video. Thank you for watching. 4. Dusky Aurora: Let us start the second project of this class. I'm using orange color, indigo color, green color. Today. I have an extra of indigo just in case. If I start the project by writing the paper. Today, we are painting a second Lawton light during sunset. So I'm gonna mix a little bit of orange. I will start the added from the middle of the paper. I'm going to blend orange with dark orange and indigo mixture. It's time to walk on northern lights. Like I said, it'll be very subtle. So take some tracker is green and I will add it just randomly ordered to pay for. Now finish it off by adding indigo just over the top of takeaway screen. And now comes the blending. Take the brush. Don't add anything. Don't just blend together. And I'm intentionally leaving the White House. Amazing men yet then you can see, so blend all the colors. You do make sure you are leaving that whitespace in the middle. Now, give this word drying. I told you guys it looks amazing. Reenergize. So now I am taking a small number brush and I will take indigo will just fill up the space at the bottom of the paper with the field trees. So our main focus for this project is the sky. And we had done it perfectly. Make sure you have a 100% cotton. They bought the police off. Since our focus once the sky, the foreground I'm going for is very simple, with a few pine trees and a bit of snow. And you can also go for mountains here. Our gradient mountains could look amazing as well. So if you wanted to go for a change idea, you're welcome to do so. But it's completely dry. Now, I messed up just a little bit. I'm going to add the final subject in the foreground, that is dried tree. Okay? So I'm gonna take like gosh, if you don't have like gosh, you can use a normal whitewater color as well. So I will add this node on the tree here. So let's start this. I'm snow and we are done. I hope you guys like this. The lights painting for our second project and the last project of this class. So thank you for watching. 5. A Gloomy Day: Let's start the last project of this class. You will need a little patience and a very good paper to finish this off. I'm using three colors today. Yellow, green, Amber. Take this panes on the palate now. So green, Amber, I think not many of you are having the color, it's not a common color. So what you can do instead is you can take Sap Green and mix it with a little bit of fine screen and you will get a share similar to the Green amber. Keep the tissue paper handy. And let's start by writing the paper with clean water. I will take a low and leave a light drowned space MD, and start painting the A-law sky. Add Green, amber as well. Since the paper is wet, that white space will be filled with the pain. So they could be wrap your fingers around it and just reveal that whitespace again. Now let's add one more layer of Elon green and proceed with the blending. Now, let's add that Elon green at the bottom of the vaporizer. Here is where the light comes. I will remove all the water on my brush and I will start blending these colors. Since this is a lake, I'm going to add a few rebuffs. We're gonna add ribose again one more while we are bending for a second layer. And this is just the first layer. And now I'm gonna give this word drying and I'll come back once it's completely dried. Okay. Now I'm going to take a small number brush. This is number one brush by the way. And I'm going to take binds Gray. And I will start the ad for ground. A few trees under reflection in the foreground. Reflections first, brush and just drag them below. This is the second layer we are painting on Unit Two things to attempt. The second layer in watercolor, one plus layer should be completely dry. And second thing, you need a very good paper, a 100% cotton, 300 years and paper would do verify. And then I add the ripples. So I need to be dark, so I'm gonna add one more layer of paper is still wet. Stop. The bindings should be India deal and spontaneous. There is no written rules. When you Bain, and that's the beauty of it. It's easier to get lost in the process. Psyche painting, repainting, riveting and all these things I dress my gut when I paint. So I can't keep count on how many layers I am bending, how many times I am, you know, repainting the staff. I would suggest you guys to try this meditative process as well. To just get lost in the process of painting. Don't worry about the end result. You will get there eventually. If you are a complete beginners. Though with the same brush and with the same pained ion square. I'm going to add the trees about the reflection. Make sure you leave that white space in between this object on the reflection. So keep this hot dry. Before we're going to add a few more details. And limit, take a shot synthetic number one brush. I will add a few dried up in between. I'm going to add a field but the same synthetic brush. So there's something magical happened while I was shooting this last class project. Sun was setting and I had this beautiful light on my table. And I don't know, it just felt so wonderful. And that is it for today's class project. I hope you like this. Three tutorials that I have showed today. It's not about always learning. It's sometimes just relaxing and binding something you like. And I really hope you had fun painting these three landscapes with me. So I'm gonna see you in next class, and thank you for watching. Okay. 6. What's Going On ?: So I hope you guys like the tutorials that we have discussed today. And like I said before, don't focus too much on the end result. Just practice and enjoy the process. And I thought I'd give you guys an update on what's going on from my site. So for now, I'm practicing and I'm practicing to paint them in a realistic way. Boards as well as reflections, as you can see, I'm showing a few recent works of mine. I will always keep updating you on my progress over on Instagram. And a lot of people has asked me to make a class on how to paint these boats and reflections. And I'm very happy and excited to share that. I'm working on it. Today. I hope you enjoyed this simple tree landscapes that we have learned today. Thank you so much for watching, and I will see you guys in my next class.
