Transcripts

1. Class Introduction: You know that white is also the color of the rainbow. Hello, everyone. I am Shang Shi Bi watercolor artist from Vietnam. And in our today class, I will show you how to capture the rident white of the Lovelace one painting light, color, and glow using watercolor. We will go step by step from editing the reference photo, saving the white with masking fluid to layering the subtle rainbow tones and adding the final glowing highlights. I will also walk you through the tones I use, explain why I choose them and show you how to mix granulating color from basic pigments. This glass is perfect for artists with some watercolor experience. If you are a beginner, feel free to check out my buffet. I have plenty of glasses for all levels from beginner to advance. And don't forget to hit the follow button to stay updated on my future glasses. Now, let's dive in. 2. All about the Class Project: In this lesson, let's talk about our final glass budget. We paint this lovely one couple together. I've provided the reference photo under creative common license, so you are free to create and even sell your painting. Just remember to credit the photographer as mentioned in the glass intro. You will also find the outline two versions of my painting and extra reference photos if you want to challenge yourself after class. It might be hard to follow me step by step, so I recommend watching it once for the overview and then replay and paint along. After finishing, go to the Busick and resource section. Click Submit Boshek, upload your photo and submit, and check and give feedback within 24 hours. You can also tap me on Instagram, ink in my Bfi and be happy to like and comment on your work. Now, let's move on to the tones and materials we need for today's class. 3. Tools and Materials: In this lesson, let's talk about the tones and materials we may need to use in today's class. So keep in mind, these are just suggestions. Feel free to use whatever which is more available and comfortable to you. So I film this video up to finishing on the lesson, and this is the painting I made today, I film this piece for today's class porte this is the painting I painted before. I am very happy because our final painting today turned out to be more beautiful than my previous painting. Now, let's talk about the materials. For Watercolor paper for today's porte I use this brand? Watercolor paper? Is the artist grade from China. Because I am in Asia, it is very convenient and a reasonable price, but feel free to use arts front, but make sure the quality is high enough. It needs to be 100% cotton and preferably art is great because we will use masking fluid and a lot of water. I painted on the AFI size, which is 15 and 20 centimeters, but feel free to paint it on a bigger size if you want. I am thinking after this lesson, I painted another version using a three watercolor paper so that I can frame it and hang it on my room. But because painting a la piece takes more time, so I don't want you to I don't want the class is too long.T is for watercolor paper for the paint I will use this handmade the box, I purchase the empty box and I feel watercolor here myself. It is from Wine Winice brand. So the color is very common. You can purchase it. You can find it in any set watercolor. There are two special colors. One is casket green. I mean, it casket green is not important for out today class project, but it was heat hematimsF winne it is a grating paint. And don't worry because in the next lesson, I will teach you how to how to mix the hematite miss from normal normal paints. And I will provide a full list of my colors on the project and resources lesson. But I you don't need to have the exactly similar colors as my hematite mis is special color and I I will use it to paint. You see to paint the shadow on the feather of this one and I will teach you how to mix it in the next lesson. We also use white wash. You use the final stage of the painting boys to ask some highlights. But before that, we need to use mask and flow to cover this one to cover this one and this brand is from China. It is not very good brand, feel free to use whatever brands like pur pal or winds Newton. Anything is okay. Sure. I think the paper is more important. But make sure the masking fluid, don't tear the paper when you try to remove it. I will use this eraser to remove masking fluid, but it is not essential. You can remove just by your fingers, but make sure your fingers are clean. With that because we don't want to put oil on the watercolor paper. I will use this ruling pen to apply masking float. That is my favorite tone, but if you don't have it, you can use an brush or silicone brush. I have a dedicate lesson about different tones applying masking float. In one of my very early court here on skill share. The name is 12 techniques, 12 watercour techniques for beginners and beyond. It is my very first class here on skill share. Quit the production quantity is not very good, but I think the lesson about the tones apply masking float is quite helpful in this class. You may check it if you want to learn more so for brushes I use this mop brush to paint the back row and abou brush. So this is number zero. It is a brand from Vietnam. That is number two. Number four, number six is synthetic brush it is Ecdversat so just want to know because I will the brush to remove some paint to create the highlight on the water. So if you are using natural hair brush, it is quite soft. So you want to have at least one synthetic brush to remove some paint. We need to use mixing palette and a water and I will use this iPad to show you the reference photo during today's class and I will also teach you how to adjust the reference photo before painting. But you can use the same with your phone. It is very simple. That's about the tones and materials. In the next class, I will teach you how to mix this hemi mix if you don't have your hand. 4. How to mix Hematite Mist: Welcome back to the glass. In this lesson, I will guide you how to make something which is similar to hematite maze. Hemetit maize is granulating color from wines brand. I think if you are using Daniel Smith, the most similar color is hematite, genuine. So I often use it to paint the shadow, whether it is on the cloud or on some wide subject like today's class. If it is available at a store near your home, I recommend purchasing it. But if it is okay, I will guide you how to make something which is similar, almost similar, not 100% similar. It is very difficult to recreate some granulating color, but we can create something 80% similar for our today class project. We will need you two parts of anchamarin We need two part of anchamarin here and one part of red. I think I add a little bit too much red, so I need to add more Shama. Now, it like a well, I mean, add more red here. And then just a little bit of BonsianaFgot, this is the hemodims fromOina here. I think we need to have some adjustment, add more Shama. So here, maybe just a little bit Bonsaa we have something you see, not 100%, but 80% because we only use it for very light subtle shape of this one, so it is very difficult to make 100%, but you can whatever version, its maybe sometime if you mix it with its maybe more blue or more red. But it is even better because we want to create the dynamis the feather of the one. In this lesson, I will teach you how to mix hemat mix. It is a graduating colors from inusR as I mentioned, it is very difficult to make something 100% similar because if you look at this color, it has the blue shade, the violet shade, and the lock shade, everything combined but we can use different ratio antamoin and red to go with something similar to the shadows on the on the feather of this one for today glass Bjec can use I think if you using Daniel Smith, you can use the moon glow hematite genuine as a replacement, it is not 100%, but it is very beautiful. The key here is because I am using the granulating colors for out today glass Poet because I want to create the vibrant, a whole range of colors on the white feather of this one. That's the reason why I'm using granuating colors, but we can try to mix to replicate and use other alternatives. That's for this lesson, we will start to paint in our next lesson. 5. How to Adjust the Reference Photo: In this lesson, I will show you my hip to manipulate the photo before painting. I just discovered the tips recently and it really helped to elevate my what I call paintings white subject. Ti is today's reference photo. You see the swans here are very beautiful. But the problem why transfer this reference photo into our watercolor paper is we cannot capture all the details of this painting onto this photo into our watercolor paper. So if you look at the swans here, we can see only the white and the gray and we just use white and different shades when painting in watercolor, the painting become very boring. So in order to make our white color in our watercolor painting more vibrant. One of my them is we will adjust the colors photo before paint. Here is my iPad, but you can use this feature on your phone and any photo editing app. I will touch here. And I in fight the saturation and I increase saturation into the max level. When we increase the saturation into the max level, you can see the shade on the next of this one golden orange, yellow, and the shade on its body is violet. I may also increase a little bit of vibrant I think that's enough. I depending on the rest photo, we may increase the contrast, but I don't think I will increase the contrast a little bit. That's for this photo, I think it is beautiful enough now and I will use this to reference photo for today glass painting process. In the next lesson, let's talk about we will start to prepare for today's painting and we will use masking to cover this one. 6. Masking Fluid - Prepare for the Painting: Let's start our painting process by preparing the paper for the painting. And as you may see, I have already taped down the watercolor paper. There's no tips and chick. So I don't I don't I don't perform this action to save time. But let's start with using skin float. I use muscin float from this brand. Superior it is a brand from China. Not very good brand. You can use muscin float from Windsor and Newton pur pe I put it on my palette and use this woolen pen. So the skin float here is a little bit too thick. I will add a little bit of water water down it. So I don't cover. I don't I don't try to cover on this one, but only you need to cover the you see the bottles, the drawing. Because if we cover on the ones first, we need to use a lot of skin float and secondly, later when we remove skin float, we have to re traw on the details here. But if you find that it is easier for you to paint the back val, if you cover on this one, feel free to do so. But for me, covering the body on the models of the drawing is good enough. And it is very difficult to cover the whole the whole body, this one using this rolling pen. If we want to cover everything here, we need to use a brush to apply the skin fluid and may we may coat we may cover the brush using doing some kind of deion or soap, but it is still very difficult to both the brush up to several musculin flows. So I don't want to do that. I don't think we need to cover the I don't know how to say the mouth be ones here because no, I think we need to cover it because it is in red shade and the back well is in blue shade. So even though it is quite dark, it is not easy to create the red shade on top of the blue shed. After covering the bottles of those ones with Muskan fluid, we will use Muskan fluid to cover some highlights on the water. So you see, I don't try to put on the highlight on the lines I provided in the Bose sections and resource session because we can just look onto the reference photo to draw them and we don't have to create the highlight at the exact exactly similar shape or position as in the original photo. I will adjust the woolen pen a little bit to to draw some see there's some light on the on the water I forgot to mention on the Boston but we also we also need some why for the final highlights of the painting. Mm. And if we forgot to cover using using masking fluid, we can always ask it later. But it's still better to cover using masking fluid because we can paint the highlights to make it glowing. And that's on for the masking fluid, and now we need to wait for the masking float to completely dry before painting the background. 7. Painting the Background: The skin float is completely dry now, so it's time to paint the background. So first, we should wet on the background. Actually, we can it with clean water, but the background in the blue anyway. So it's a light blue to wet on the background. So it is easy for you to see. So I mix this is bright blue. And antramarin. Antramarin is warm blue and bright blue is whole blue, so I want to add each part equally to First, we will everything with this slide set. I will go another round to add more duck, don't worry. I just want to have a round for us to work on it. You might find it easier to cover the host when it was a masking fluid, but if we just cover the bottle, we need to be a little bit careful, but for me, it is enough for us to work on. So we don't need to create a uniform color because we can alternate between hamarin and bright blue too. Because the background we have a lot of color anyway. So for this area, I changed to I pick up the wrong colour, so I need to look again. So I mean, for this area, I'm in a smaller brass so now the whole background is already red, so now it is time to add more shade into it. First, you see the whole background here in the middle is a bit bit lighter and on the edge. So we will add more color on the edge here below area, this is than the top of the pending. I will add I will add more chaman here. I think I get in smaller quest. I think I forget what this, but it is no problem, no big problem. So add more colo at the edge of the background. I think it's role in blue, so I will add to add more light colour. Feel free to use different shade blue on this. You don't have to follow me exactly and don't need to copy this bending rifle and photo. But we look at here. You see here we have some violation shade. So I will make some violet. Yes. I think we will also add some violet here. You see. I add more violet than in the original photo to don't make the area around this one to be too bright because you need to have the contrast between this one and the background. Add more. Now I will add indigo with this indigo, I want to create this kind of circle movement. So we want to go with the movement in the painting. I want it to be even darker. No need to create any perfect shape here, that to work. I will make the pain is a little bit thick and because normally for this kind redneck when the paper is dry, it will be lighter, so I want to add more dark colour even smaller brat for some area. I think I forget to cover the skin flue here. It is okay. So there is no we see here is green here, so there is no coil is blue here, but I want the to be even more vibrant, so I will to call blue. If you don't have to coil blue, just want to if you have any blue shade. Just add it to make the B will Bly with color and water to make it more dynamic. Now cascade green. I mentioned in the motor lesson that I won't use cat cat green, but now I use this. But if you don't have cut cad green, feel free to use other green. So it is not as my bland because you see now I am playing with the background, playing with the color. So it is not it is not how I paint the original painting and it is not how I blend before. So that's mean now we just need to try to play with the color. To add even darker add more add more. I even add a little bit of pain right here because indivven dark enough for this area. So later we'll be painting the reflexenRd orange w. So this one, I want to make it more uniform. Even we are creating the movement, I don't want it to be too too too clear. I think en to add some more violet. And add more violet, make the area lot here er because if it's too light later, we don't see the contrast. I think it is enough. We blight a lot and now the paper is to be warp now we wait for everything to dry before continue to paint this painting. 8. Painting the Shadow: Amps Dor Jumper Duper m welcome back to the class and now the paper is already dry. Actually, I painted the background and the skin fluid here in the morning and I just went to lunch and now I come back and I use this eraser to remove skin fluid, but it is not must have item. You can remove using your fingers, but make sure your fingers clean because we don't want to put oil onto the paper because with oil, the watercolor people cannot absorb colors after that. So now we will start to paint this one here. First, I want to I need to redraw some o here because now the pencil is too light for me because we don't cover everything using spin so just I think I mistake using bit to rub over the drawing. So now it is a little bit too light. It's not a big problem. Actually, we don't have to try to mask the exactly Actually, I realized I forgot to paint the shadow here. So if we start to paint it. Ideally, we should paint it before removing skin flu but uh, it is my mistake, but it's not a big problem. It is not a big mistake because we can just fix it. I am mire, indigo and paint gray, and we paint over. We already draw it in the outline, but as you can see now, it is too light. The drawing is too light, but we can just looking at the reference photo to paint this. It is not too it is better to paint it before removing muskin fluid, as you can see, we might paint over some area with highlight area. It is my mistake, but I just want to let you know, ideally we should paint it before removing muskin fluid, but if we forgot, it is not a big problem. I think I forgot to put the, there's a very sharp highlight here and I forgot to put it on I transfer the ally. But it's not a problem. We don't have to copy. So I will add a little bit of turquoi into the shadow because if you look at the reference photo, the shadow has the hint rim and so put some saben. So to create kind of movement, the dep of the grass to create some of you see circle around the reflection, the shadow. The shadow is more is correct what? Because you see it is reflection, it should be white, but here we only see the shadow We may try to paint the swans now, but I think it will be better if we wait for everything to dry because I may want to put my hand on top of this, that is easy, we will stop this lesson here and we will start to paint the swan in the next lesson. 9. Capture the Colors of the Swans: Welcome back. Just let you guys know that when you guys are not here, I just put another tip around the paper to make sure it is flat. Now the shadows are already dry so we can paint those ones. So it is an optional step, but we may try to use an eradicator brush to remove some paint here. And if you want to flood, it is not important in this case because you see those one will have a lot of fears. I shouldn't make two to polish. I just want to remove some drop of pin here. Now, you can start to paint I will use this is number four. I will start with number four. No, I will start with number zero because I want to paint the I don't know how to say it exactly in English, but the mouth of the swans first because it is the easiest thing to paint. This is English red. So even small area, we have some highlight and some shadow, so I will try to reap some pain in the top area. It should be darker underneath and lighter on the top. This time, I will try with a lighter shade English bit first. It is easier to we can do it both way, but you can add a dark layer and then try to remove some pain, but you can also start with some le layer and you see this area is a little bit darker, so I will put more pain. So we need to wait for it to dry before painting the area here. So we start with the number two, and we start to paint the head of the one first. So this is golden. So this orange color. Try to make it light because this one is white. We need to make the color as subtle as possible. So we will paint the one's body in two layer. At least two layer. But in the first layer, we only focus on the color. We shouldn't focus on the shaded the shadow. Now, what I want you to do is you see it is in yellow or orange, you will put orange EPC, it is in blue or purple, we will put blue and purple. You don't need to focus too much on the value of this area it is try to eel the light or shed. This one is more yellow than golden. I want to glean this so I can put.Th is Indian gold It's similar to Quinac we don't go by Daniel Smith. You see this area is a little bit more yellow, not orange shade. I will put yellow over there. I think I paint over it should be y area, but don't worry because we still have another layer of y was to correct some of our mistake. This area is also I will put yellow first and I put oven on top of it. Not on top, but it is more under. I want to add this piece of cloth here. So in this area, we see it a violet, I use violet here. I think I need to use another palette because I and We put violet on the bottom. This one. Here is also some in violet. A little bit of blue and Chama. I think I've been chained to the pickle. There is a shadow here. Later, I want to use hematic mist in this area, but we need to wait for it to dry first. While waiting for it to dry, we will move to this one. Again, here is the orange here is we put our wings here. I think at the bottom, it should be violet. Ready to build violets here. With area. When we come back for another round, I want to put Bunsena in this area. But for now, just a Just as the golden the orange color. It is the golden colour by whice. So it is yellow and then transition to golden. Bit area is violet and blue there's hamarinble. It is too dark, so in this area, it is violet. At the bottom of it, we see some rose color, it was cami. We need to paint this shadow area, but I want to wait for the paint around that area to dry. I come back to this one. Now this is hematid mis. For shadow area, it is a little bit colder. So I will add. It is indigo or pain gray. It is. It is more pin grey here. You may find difficult to follow me exactly because I try to paint what I see. And even if I don't paint exactly similar to the reference photo, it is not a problem because we don't need to to to capture on the details on the So on the the swan. Hematimys In this area, it is cooler, so I will out a little bit of indigo in this area, I think it's more hematomys in this area than I think we just finished bending the first layer of those one. So now we will wait for it to dry completely while I plan to take a rest because I want when I come back, my eye is clearer so I can notice the difference between the shades of those one. So let's wait for it to dry and take a rest. 10. Capture the Shades of the Swans: Welcome back to the glass. Now we will paint another round of these ones. First we will paint this area here. I just use dictionary to know it is going the knob of this one. So I will you pink gray Let me try to find my glasses. Because the problem is I am short sighted. So here we need to focus on the detail here. So there is a dot here. A small dot here. I will use my fountain pen to paint the eye of the swan now. I just want to use black, but there's no black on my color palette, so you can just use pun poi fountain pen or anything or just a small brush to put some black here. Okay. So now we look up we've been trying to in on the shadow area, this one, we need at least two shades. So we just put the light shade here so you can go over on this one to at another round. Here you see. I think we need to come back to the area later because I don't want to touch the knob, it's just pin. We've been paint the other area first. The tail here. I see there is a shadow here. I will add a little bit add a little bit of hem I did miss here. I want to add little bit Boniena this area, If you look careful in this area, you see there is a little bit. It is yellow, but I want to make it more glowy. I add the golden colour. I want to show you another tip. I want to make a copy. I want to create a copy a duplicate of this right now we have a two photo swans. So for this one, I, I want to it, transfer it into black and white. Because for now we need to focus on the different shades of the same color. So by looking at this, I will know which is more darker area. So you see now is very clearly is a very dark shadow here. More dark shadow. So it is very dark on this area. And in this area, it is darker in size, so I add a little bit of bones in. I think I would use Bon umbo because it is very dark inside here. And this area it is so I will use hematigms I do find that it should be even larger. I forget what is colour of this is brow. I mean, it was burn red area. That is burn umber. There is a dark area here. So this is negative pending. Shadow around the feather. Here. This bad I think it needs to I use even smaller glass to us, burn and burn. Now it's time to paint the head of this one. So it is almost dry, but I want to make sure it is dry so I will use this hair wire to dry it. Here, I mean, we need to add more golden in this area. So the shadow here we need to ask to be shadow. So it's negate painting over the feather here. Make this area darker. I try to leave some cor here because it should be very little even when cover it using some white glass. So here you need to be even darker it may be difficult for you if you want to try to copy me every step. I just go around the painting and identify the dark area of this one. If you look at here, it has almost a lie over here. It's almost a lie over here. Let me to be even in this area. For this one, see, I want to check what is the colour. It is yellow here. Because the tail here is in pink, so even we don't see pink here, but I want to create the harmony, so I add a little bit here. Come back to this one. We need to add more golden over here. It is. It is very dark in this area. That's why I add more color here. This area is negative painting it is yellow, but it's now, it's a little bit. I 11. Final Details: Well, come back to the glass. Now it's time to pin the highlights on W. So I think I can just use actually, I have just purchased this yesterday. When it is eradicatoE eradicato Brush. So when I painted this, I didn't have it. So I just pined whether it is better than my normal brush. So if you normal brush, it can just I mean, so like this, Let me try whether this one is better. I think for this class, I mean, it just normal part because it is routed. So we want to grace some kind of glowing effect and we need to have the circular motion. I will change to a smaller one for the smaller dot. So we need to make this glow. I think we need to stop this video rich because here you see I want to change. I want to change the water here. It is okay, but I want to make I want to make the glow is very bright, so that's why I'm going to change the water now. Okay. I'm using coda tat brush, it is a synthetic watercolor brush. I think if you are using natural hair brush, you need to change to the synthetic one because we need the brush to be to be hard for this kind of technique. Change the paper tissue. It is a bigger one because it is fatal for this big highlights. We want to make the wing to glow. I mean it was this technique for the wing to Small for small area. So now, we don't need to wait for it to dry it is the white wash. It is very difficult to open this one. It is time for as to fix some mistakes and also to add some highlights to the painting and it small small brusse one. First, I paint from right hand side into left hand side. In each highlight area here, we will add it was in the middle. Because this is wider than the watercolor paper. Typing make it more watery to add the highlight on the head of the you see there is very thin highlight here. I think I let you even smaller css. So in this area, it is very wide here. I way was because we don't want to make it too. I think I need to make it here. I don't want to make the I think it's better to make the movement from inside to the outside to create the feeling of the feather. If I don't film the video, I may put it on the panel so that I can turn it over so that it is easy for me to put my hand really highlight inside. Use it to add highlight, create the further picture. The area, it should be witter than we paint it originally. I will use this to cover the pen lie because there is almost no light here. I will use this my w to A very very small line here. I think I need to add halagin here because it is dry and it become more transparent. I paint over the eyes we combine. So in the center of the highlight on the window. A high on the wick of those ones. I just this to know that is a pic wick I forgot to so I need to stop and make the glowing effect of here first. While it is wet wet the highlights so that the transition is more smooth. See, this should be very white. I was to cover the pencul line, we put on the first blade. Y. It is easy for me to paint the feather in this area. It should be very white here. It may be difficult for you to copy me exactly. We just go around this one to add the white was to the area. We find that it is white is in the whole painting. There was highlight in this area. We use this to cover the Benso my here. G area. It should be white so I will stand up to see the whole painting, and I think I am quite satisfied. Just a little highlight here. So finally finally, I take a brush. This one, this number four. So I will put my hand to cover this one, but don't need to I think. No, I forgot. I forgot. We still needs some detail here. So I will use anchamarins anchamarin. I mean, I will mix anchamarin with this white wash. So at the end of the painting is very easy to miss some details. So that's why when I stand up and I look at the weapon photo, I realize that I miss something, so we need to paint it needs to be even more opic. So we hold the brus at the end of the handle so that we cannot control. But I mean, the movement is we try to replicate the movement on the water. If you look at the the reference photo, there's there's the tip of the bus to create you see the movement on the water here. I forgot to use the masculine fluid to CV I wet this area. You see, I will area and we will use the wet on wet effect for the wet be I will splat some we war to create the harmony for the whole painting. I believe we are done. We finish this lesson here and in the next lesson, let's review the painting and I will show you some final heaps and cheese for our today class Boga 12. Masking Tape Peeling and Final Thoughts: So we are done. Now let's tell up the masking tape to see our final reason. You see, I add to round masking tape to make sure the paper is flattened. And we are done. So just want to show you this is the painting I painted before before today's class lesson. I think the one I painted today is better. Maybe it is the second time I painted this on final dips I want to tell you is even after we painting the paper is not too flat. So in order to fix it, I will use this spry water bottle to put it up the mi. Then I put some books or some heavy item on top of this so that I will make sure after several hours, it will be even more beautiful. That's on for today's class.
