For this particular painting session, I use these brands and colors, mainly buddy, you can also try with any brand of your choice and your availability. You can paint on different surfaces. It can be Canvas, would banners, scan wise pebbles, normal paper or higher GSM black peppers, these brands or my personal favorite. You can practice on normal paper in the beginning stages and then move on to Canvas or vote after gaining some experiences. Instead of Canvas or road panel, you're going to also paint on canvas, paper on purpose. These are the few brands that I use and those are my personal favorite. You then try even on plane, normal printer paper also that works very, very foreign stopped painting and you can practice it. It's very cheap and inexpensive. No more one dog precious. These other brushes data used for this binding technique. I love insert. I know Dan brand brushes, but they tried with almost all Brando vicious, especially darken or it's in the publishes. One thing to make sure while choosing the right brush is the literal size. The size may release from brand to brand. Here you can see Lake bought pressures are of same brand and it same size. But the Bristol sizes. These other fields getting pencils that I use for my outline process. You don't need exactly the same tools for the painting, but I'm sharing what I use for my bending to give you a clear idea of what are the materials you regard to start painting. The ballad I use are less expensive and durable. In general, I use ceramic and glass ballad for easy Glynn. 3. Basics of One Stroke Painting: Hello. Before beginning, I would like to say a few parts of the wishes. One is the molybdenum and there were nice, desolate because he said the common words are they used in this painting session? So it will be more clear for you to understand Ward is pristine and Northeast misled. So let's begin. Hi friends. Welcome to this basic video listed in this session, I will cover all the basics such as loading the British, blending the aqua colors and few basic strokes. I'm using a flat brush of size 0.5 means for this painting session, first, moister British depths using clean water and wipe off excess water using a clean paper. Don't load one edge of the brush using one color and the other using the second colored are shown here. Next, blender colors using a back and forth movement ashore, load due to treat dams and blend the colors so that there is sufficient paint on the brush. This will help to get this MODFLOW needed to make the strokes. As you can see from this painting technique, I don't use any mediums. I used the band directly if needed. I more established Debussy mode. The first basic stroke that they show here is the horizontal flat struck it stroke but need to be practiced to get correct gradient. Make it slowly and smoothly as shown here. If you rush than the beta will get mixed up and will not have a good infinity. So be very patient and make the stroke slowly, especially if you are a beginner in this big reload, I'm blending colors as needed after each strokes so that there is sufficient band on the bridge for the next strokes. So practice this a few times until you get the exact gradients are strokes. The second stroke is a horizontal strokes. It is similar to the first day horizontal stroke, but this time, add an up-and-down reading moment as shown here. This is horizontal. Biggest drug will help you to carbon roll your hands. You have to practice these drugs fuel dimes. Maybe in the beginning, you might not get it perfectly, but with practice it will be come easily. The third stroke is Shelly struck. Dupain dishes Drop Holder placed on legislated, then press WASD down and we're going to learn a bridge in the upward direction. I namely desolate. You can also do the downward stroke in the same manner. For example, holder bridge. It insulates, then press the Bristol down and regular regime that they'll read engine. And then Linda, just yet, that's her damn showing you here. The stroke shapes may depend on how much pressure we are playing and how fastly we're moving our hands. It's all matters that shape of the bed days. And so you can see I am moving my bridge in read faster mode so that the bridge do shape and the bending shape ports or reading. Next day, you're stuck there and I've got to use. And our radius stocks, holder bridge images delays, then press down so that WE still bank. Then move in the downward motion without any regal moment and lifted a bridge in that GCS may knew they knew sheep. Repeat the same procedure in the upward direction to get the upward stroke. Nix this gear drop at a stock holder, Bainbridge on desolate, then press down so that the pristine band then more than listing in the upward direction, d new create a teardrop sheet and lifted a paintbrush on legislate. You have to practice. Starts fueled dimes maybe in the beginning. Don't get it exactly the same, but keep practicing under new RGB. And also I suggest you do practice these basic strokes before trying, trying out to pain flowers or leaves directly. Because these are the basics of one saw painting technique. If you practice it thoroughly, du will be more easy for you to be in any kind of levels and leaves. And also another common question is like, how much pressure we need to up late IT restaurants it. If you want a smaller stroke, you have to apply very light pressure. And if you want a now just draw, you have to apply more pressure to achieve the largest. That simple. So here you can see from my strokes like if you replace a larger pressure, you will get NOT strokes like bigger one. And also if you need a smaller are running. How do see? You can see from here I might bring a very light pressure so that it's like a core mass drug you can achieve that is very light pressure. The same way how to practice and to practice it more and more, you will get more ideas on how much pressure you need to update before choosing another corner on a brush you how to wash your brushed militarily and wipe the excess water from the British. And date the colors for the leafs. Here I'm here, I'm showing you how to pain leaves very quickly and easily with the same stroke moments. So before start bending their knees you how to practice these drugs. So it will be more easy for Dupain the leafs, I'm using the same loading, blending and moment techniques for obtaining the news. If you are confused or updating the exact structure of the leaves, you can just how Cain using Ben or opinions hill, after that, you can start bringing their lives or you can directly band using the publishers. I will show both the method here. First I draw using Benson. After that I go with the brushes, the blending and the nodding. A pressure of everything is similar to that we learned in the previous section. And if you practice the basics that we teach before, then it will be more easy for Ledoux paying the leaves. They twisting and the darling of the brushes create some difference in the needs or the structure. So once you practice that radiations or once you are going to try to create more variations on your brushes, you will get more difference drove moment. So my suggestion is like you have to brag these more and more and explore more. Create these drugs with your own ideas. Your soul don't take on the same thing where you can twist it dawns and Mordor of handy for you can practice in that mindset. So it's all make rated QG different investor moments. So my suggestion is like adorn fed up, maybe in the beginning it will be very difficult for you to get the strokes are exactly say mass i doing BARDA. If you practice it more and more, you will get it and you can achieve it so easily. So I suggest you to practice the basic strokes as much as possible and just tried to do symbol for lovers and symbol leaves the pain the veins. To the least, you can either use flatters or nine numbers. But for beginners, I suggest to do a line numbers already knew more easy for you to create the veins for the knees. 4. Acrylic Flower Painting: Hello everyone. In this section, we are going to paint flowers on a canvas board. So let's begin. For this painting, I'm using a canvas of size eight by eight image. If Hilbert bridge anymore bridge for painting the background and display border two moist as fs stat waste brain every daughter and they can invert. It will help in making the Bindu easily slide. And eventually, you're going to also use flat bridge instructors billboard brush. I'm spreading the pain randomly later we can blend using a dry brush or more fresh. Let the phrase completely before starting the next section. This is or not the easy way to create a beautiful background folder, floral events. You can also change the color combinations depend on your choice. Now again versus replica word, know the blending Bart. I'm using a more bridge to blend the colors. You can also use a dry flat bridge or a diary round brush for this blending. You need to blend the colors very softly and smoothly. Avoid over blending the colours. Like if we're putting too much pressure on you are blending two mice, we won't get that exact background folder, so you have to blend very softly and very smoothly. If you need to connect more darkness or lighter tones using this same dry brush, just take the paint and wherever you need that darker tone you can apply on slightly blend too that the background is fully Dr. next IPBES drawing a rough sketch. It is just the placement of the levels and the leaves. There is no need to be an exact sketch order. There is no need to draw an exact pattern of the flowers or dead leaves. But this will give you a clear idea on how and where to place of levels. And for sketching, you again use jock Benson, normal pencils, watercolour pencils, charcoal pencil, whatever you have, you can use that, but your pencil is more kind, meaning record. If he made some mistake while drawing, we can easily move or if you're using Java benzene. Now this guessing is completed. We can start by finding the least squares for that. I am using a Blackberry Sheol says half-inch. First, I moist my brush. That's the main procedure I followed before loading my brush. It will help in getting a smooth flow and avoid drying of the pain to clean. So follow these steps before loading of bread as he studied in the previous basic strokes section. I am following the same procedure here. So don't be rushing, loading or British or blending, decor diamond blending and practiced those strokes where literally here I am loading to put three times to get the bane mixes. And to make the pressure to get the exact moves, it will give you a smooth flow while you're, you're, you're making that strokes. That's what I'm loading two to three times as you can see it in between, like I'm not taking any medium or I am not using word, but I'm just loading my brush with n bits. I use a very less amount of water for my paintings. But one thing I always for Louise, reload your brush each dime. It will help in getting his MODFLOW and avoid the drying off your paint. Before start painting directly the leaves or the flavors. My suggestion is to practice the basics of this technique are really practice view symbol flowers before going directly to being a complicated flower leaves, I haven't given this small project for you to try after you learn the basics of this technique. Once you learn the basic uncomfortable in like loading, blending and editing, then try the project and you can slap me the work here, and I will give you the guidance and the correction required to understand the mistakes and learn this technique. So tryout all the videos and information I probate. And if you have any doubts regarding this painting cores, you can reach me here. So I am happy to help you to learn this beautiful painting technique. I got so many questions regarding the mediums that they use for my branding techniques. In general, I use water as the median when most of my paintings I use, I rarely use mediums like Jim mediums or flow medium to my painting. So if you're not comfortable or if we're not getting the writer Mondo for consistency on her venue again, try it. You're going to also drive it gel mediums. Bardem. In my paintings, I always prefer to use water as a medium. And this technique, italy needed just little Armando border because I read a lot iss time my brush and paint or the paint itself gives a good moisture to my painting. So you just try it and maybe it may take few tries to get that excite consistency and exact flaw. But in the beginning, don't get worried offered, dealt with why it's happened to me like this. And so it's it's, it's, it's depend on how much effort you are making to practice the basics or how much her folder making to practice that it here I am using this same there shall say use before. But I'm creating this moral leap. Less pressure like I am appealing, weighed less pressure on the brush so that there is no need for an extra small brush. Full painting is morally, that's the thing you have to practice, like how much pressure you need to apply to get this small little biggest drug. As you can see here. Like I am using the same stroke movement for this moral elif also. But I am not bringing very less pressure so that I can use the same bridge for creating this molar leaves. But if you find it very difficult, you can change to smaller virtual. So you're gonna see the same leaves so that you can create the same leaf using smaller brushes. Now the only four days or most come with. Next step is to add some details. The leave. Before that you have to watch your brain goes immediately. Because if we soak the British in water for a long time, it may damage the L2. So to avoid that, you have to walk double-edged and wipe off the excess water from the fish using a tissue paper or a quarter and gave with SI, get m using a liner brush to add the deal. That leaves. By adding the details, you have to make sure that you are taking a colored that lighter than the center portion of the lead, such as here, it's like the Leaf is darker gone. So chose that color like something lighter than the sender. When using a liner brush quote, hiding the details, you have to add some extra work to make the bailiff deal with dinner. It really helps us in getting the thin lines or smooth lines. Why looping with the liner bridge? Next step is to add a base color or base64 folder losses for the dime using a field Goldberg, you're gonna grow shorter brush for guiding this base color, let us know specifically British is needed at this point, I'm losing my agenda as the baseline for good. And for the center of the Rosas, You can edit that burden for the outer radius, you can add in light of magenta or the reason for writing this race court, if like it develope with books are first order, evens out to pain. And another thing is to do good coverage after adding the. But then if I add more by delta it do any Viva good coverage and finish to the work. Thus dad fading. Let us for that. I am using a blood pressure sides half-inch. You can use any brand on any side, plaque brushwork, disbanding. Flat British one corner with why? Dynamic corner with much NDA. That means the data under dot-dot-dot and blended Vedas MOOC Lean's off. Whenever you need, you can add it to four dots. You can see I'm adding a ready bit of water. Reload your bridge to do the damage, to get the excite them. Although paint onto a brisk day, it didn't behave billion getting a smooth flow while you making this trucks. Know statically dependence one by one. Here I am using a less amount of pressure to spread the paint on the canvas. You can follow the same made it for the rest of the petals. If you need, you can replace it can guard like this on top of that, like if you're paying, this denotes your FASTA layer is not finished. So that case you can apply like this. That's what I'm showing you here. And 40 each time you need to reload your fresh. Here I am applying the second layer of petals, one step below the first hidden layer, so it will be more visible, leg delay should be visible. So you have to add the next hidden layer on below the faster layer to avoid the mixing up of the band or you're not getting that layer and you can reload each time. That means fresh paint on your bridge. So it will help indivisibility of each layer. And another thing you can do is like you can wait for a second to dry the fascia layer to dry. Hidden by adding more, more orbitals than the previous one. In freedom leg. Inside of the Rosa, There are so many petals. So to create that, that field need to add few betters. It's all depend on how large the cirrhosis or if you're painting a smaller losses, there is no need of firing too much vendors, you can change the battery size or numbers depends on how large or how how wide the size of your Ross's. Knowing I'm adding the outer petals it the same stroke movement with the less pressure. As we learned in the basic stores section. We're following that same stroke moment for this roses for the outer area to fill. As you can see Lake, how the Base64 help in getting that coverage. Here I'm using a upward you use broke for the center of the flower. In the basic video section, I have shown all the strokes that you're required to create the flowers. So say content video before going to paint these flowers and a statically, as you can see from the radio, like I am using so many different strokes to create the flowers and the leaves. So before trying out the same painting you, how do practice does basic strokes? And you have to understand how to blend, how do get the gradients and how to use the brush strokes properly. So all you have to practice those basics of this one Schrock painting with it that lay before going debris in every hour or is it will give you more corn plant while painting otherwise, in the first trial on get their colors and you will find a widow. I'm not getting this. So you have to practice this basic strokes first and then come again here and, and dry this flowers. And also I included some basic or symbol flower structure for you to try out is like a project. Try with, after learning that basic strokes and you can drive that levels. I have an instructional Lakers dev way step, pixelization and instruction project related to this painting so you can share code data also. So I hope this Bain insertion will help you learn this technique very easily. And also in general, I use and you brushes for my paintings as well. I hope so many Christians like, is it only possible bit angle brush, but it's not like that. You're going to also use black brush. What the world was just like. I angle bourgeois flag brush, comfortable for you again, use that. So there is no particular brush is required for this painting technique. Practice more and more to get these drugs, but fairly, that's a mean thing. In the beginning may be you may feel like some difficulty. One gets a stroke, but after few dries you will get it perfectly. And also if you have any doubts regarding this painting, like whatever, grow doubts who come up with one's own practice orienting. You can just feel free to ask or comment. And also if you liked this bending on or if you like this very nice sessions, please gave you a valuable feedbacks. It's also helped me support and I can also create more videos YOU vase. I included a symbol project for you to try, like an instruction. And then you can supplement your walk here. So I can give you a guide and fun correction to a world. And honestly, if you have any doubt regarding that session also, you can now just let me know. A lot of it. Do my Spain. Didn't Washington do can just wipe like this. A little more direct. So Spain and reloaded again and the same we asked me done before. As you can see from his leg, I am using the same size flat brush for being smaller leaves and not only is uneven, even didn't lease also. So it depends on how much pressure you are applying to the verso wanted to practice and you drive more paintings, you will get that idea of how, how much pressure. So in the beginning you may be difficult for those are just the pressure. But after a few guys, you will get that. C as you're gonna see a lady, I'm adding small Barton's memoryless same branch that they use for painting the flower. So I just need, need worldly one branch for the whole painting. So if you're beginning all trying for the first day, you're gonna also use due to three sides, ferocious like force Moreland needs you then take small brush with the same loading technique. Likewise, you again practice after you are getting nest rocks properly. You can concentrate on single brush. If you like this painting session and if you learn something and my DC knees go, just let me know your feedback.
