1. Introduction: Hi guys. My name is Kate and I have been painting with watercolor for 6 years. You can get acquired with my creativity closer on Instagram this is my nickname. I will be really glad if you subscribe. Here every day I show life of an artist and explained small watercolor tricks. And today I want to paint sparkling winter landscape with you. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use wet on wet technique. How to paint the reflection in the water. How to paint small waves. How to paint snow, how to make picture harmonious in color. How to paint trees. Let's get started. 2. Step 1: pencil drawing: So yeah, I fix up piece of paper, but those actually bought, I use beta D a by it. In hardware stores, you dont need the stigma that they do their paper based, strong believed all otherwise, it will be difficult to build tape off later. Now we can move on to the pencil drawing. I draw the border of this sharp. Now, I draw lines of snow drifts. Then I DO that. Three drunks. Notice I don't draw all the branches. We will bend them with what the calculator now is the most important step. We should draw the reflection of snow and 3s in the water. I draw tree trunks in the mirror image. Now and make pencil drawing less saturated so it doesn't show through the water column. 3. Step 2: sky and lake: Now I am preparing the watercolor painting, Hadoop clean water interdict cubits and that I will use while the water Karla absorbs the water or the sky and the lake with clean water. A blank bane to an old radio wet sheet is called the wet and wet technique. This is my favorite technique to band first layer. I'd taken orange Karla. They bang using either the bottom on this sheet to make us MOOC color transition a tilde to the clipboard. Now, I am mixing cobalt can occur at dawn and orange. With this desktop, a band Dava the rest of the lake and sky. To separate this guy. And I mix a more intense, thus tip-top wealth band three, this color above the horizon. Now I start painting shadows and reflections on the wild-type. This must be done while the baby is still wet. I can occur down near the snowdrift. Color transition, smooth, a blower, the Scala with my fingers. Now I bend the reflection of snow in the water with cobalt. And to be situated that meant a shadow between that snowdrift and the water. I mix orange and desktop prop both with a Bandera flexion of the trees. Since the paper has started to dry, I use my fingers to blow with this column underwater, which shouldn't have clear boundaries. With a sharp tip of a brush, a band tree branches tried to make the collar less saturated and the branch has seen, it means they don't leave a bright reflection on the water. Now, I blow their flexion or linearise rhythmic lean, wet brush. It is important to smooth out the border between this layer and the previous one as much as possible. I take a brush, wash it, and dry it on an African with these clean brush, I remove some of the baby. This way. I'll draw small waves on the water. I dry everything with a hair dryer. 4. Step 3: snow: Now I wear this space. Snow. I being doubled the space. More strongly dilute the Scala, what tamp. Now edge cobalt to the shadow areas. And at night, you know, whereas this shadow is the deepest, uh, does to bubble column. To add two OK, transluscent shapes. Collar gradually from the most transparent and arrest the shape. 5. Step 4: trees: Now I move on to painting trees and mix Brown, can a createdOn and cobalt to get a duck column, note that we have clinical radon and cobalt everywhere. This way, I connect all the colors in the peak term. I bend trees from large to small elements. First, I draw that ranks. Then I bend a little grass in the background with the rest of the paint on the brush. After that, with a translucent brown, purple color, I bent small tree branches. It's important to pay into the sharp teeth to brush the membrane to C, You can see in the band the more detailed IQ to you yet tried to repeat the movement of each branch. Don't bend them parallel to each other than we are slip ban the places where the branches intersect or change direction. The trees on the left have a different structure. They are covered recently dose. Therefore, I use a large oval strokes to depict this 3s. Return strokes more saturated to ban the shadow. You can also spray deistic bubble bail. And I add some orange around the age of the trees. Now, I dry everything with a hair dryer. The last step is wide Gosh, Hecht of E two will be barely noticeable. But with the painting looks more big, Tercek, tree branches that are completely covered with frost. I band branches reverting brush due to the fact that the rest of the branches are dark, they're wide, guage begins to stand out. Thank you for watching my lesson.
