Transcripts

1. Introduction: But in his back and it's terminating, exploding with color and light, NACA, dazzling fireworks display. I love to understand as it make me feel like I have captured be soft mother nature. And if you do to join along to capture the beauty of thunderstorm into our painting. Hey guys, I am an office-based in Guam. I welcome you all. In this class. We'll be installing landscapes. In this class, we will be painting these five new default to understand projects, watercolors, in case you're new yard and watching my class for the first time, we can get to know me more by connecting on Instagram. You can first look at the materials that we will need for the projects and then move on to the basic watercolor techniques. As this class is a complete beginner friendly one. Also, in-between the painting process, I have shared some tricks and tips to help you with the slightest of the things to achieve food deserts, storm is coming inside. So come join me in this class and see you soon. 2. Art Supplies: Let's look at the art supplies. Forced. The most important part of any watercolor painting is to people. For the projects, I will be using Arches watercolor paper, which is 100% cotton. And you can see it is 300 g/m square or GSM or one-fortieth moms. In whichever unit you understand it. It shouldn't be less than 300 GSM because we will be working wet on wet layers. I'll be using this April size in half. This paper is cold pressed, so that is very minimum texture. You can also use a lot of green texture if you like. Moving on to the watercolors, I will be using this sonnet, newer palette by new sky up. And you throw that at 21 watercolor pans in this set. All of them are highly pigmented and Dr. bright. The pens come in this metal tin container and a shade card for reference. We won't be using all of the shares. So relaxed because you can use watercolors are shares that you own. Similar shapes can also be made up by color mixing. So do not worry. This container half-full works you, which are feasible for easy mixing. So I'll keep this set aside for now. Apart from this set, I will be using some other sheets. So this shade is neon pink from White Nights. I had opened it long back but I was really has turned to use the shoe. The shoe does kind of VOC bright and so perfect for a lightning flash. Also, I prefer using Payne's gray or black and this set does not have fun. I'm using one from Penn Gox. Moving on to the next important part, which is brushes, I'll be using this three-quarters flat brush from Princeton. It is really helpful to obtain some flat streaks. I'll be using this size eight round brush by Princeton majorly. You can see it has a very good finder. Also, I'll be using this size for mop brush, my brush stroke. This is completely optional. I prefer some plots with this mop brush rather than a round brush. For the details, I will be using this size silver black velvet brush. Also to secure the projects, we will need a masking tape. You can use any size. We will need a pencil for the sketches. We will also need a scale or a ruler for drawing some straight lines. A spray bottle, this is completely optional, but I like using this. I will be using masking fluid. If you do not have one to not worry, you can use a masking tape instead. I got this masking fluid for a reasonable price. While using masking fluid, use brushes that are synthetic and old and not of use, we will need a jar of clean water. Then to fix our project onto something stable, we need a board which is stiff. If you're using watercolors from cubes, you might need a mixing palette or a dish. That's it. See you. 3. Techniques : Let's start our exercise with wet on wet technique post. For supply of clean water. Make sure it is even and there are no puddles in-between. I'm applying gray color, which is wet-on-wet because the paint is wet and I am applying on a wet paper. This is wet on wet flat wash as there is only one color in work. Next I'm adding small dots for clouds with greenish blue. Since the layer is still wet, it will form wet on wet. And since there is a lot of water on my brush, it will form larger clouds. So the correct way is to have little amount of water on your brush. You can solve the excess on your tissue or even wait for the people to dry for a bit so as to let the paper fibers so the water, the more concentrated your paint is, the mode you will form smaller clouds. And if there is too much water in your brush, then there will be larger rooms like all hairy structures for me. My background is too wet. That is why it is warming heading structure. So you have to like wait a minute. For the gradient wash. I will also be expanding wet on dry technique. So you can see that I did not apply water on my people first and directly painted with a paint. So since the paint is wet and the paper is dry, it is wet on dry technique. Gradient washes off one color on me. But I've shown your blending of two colors for your understanding. After just use left to right motion of your brush starting from top or bottom. A dry brush technique involves soaking the excess water on the brush with the help of a tissue or tablet. And then it is just scratching the size of the brush or the belly of the brush on paper like this. Never used tips for such purposes as you might. Brushes. I'm showing a small part of wet-on-wet reflection technique. We will be using dry brush technique in combination with this further reflection technique, it is easier and it can be understood that I'm just placing the colors side-to-side and they are mozi on their own. Masking fluid is very helpful when you want to retain some areas white. I'm drawing a building. And if we will call this, width, must include using an old brush that is not enough. You have to coat it evenly and let it dry completely. And then only you can paint on top of this meal. Not all people, some masking fluid friendly. So you have to test for people before the final project. And if you do not have a Muslim fluid, do not worry, you can use a masking tape instead, and it is available in cheap for major parts. You can use masking tape like this and cut out the shape as desired. This will also help to retain the area white and you can paint freely. Glazing is a technique that involves painting a layer on top of an already painted here. I'm showing a block, or maybe you can assume this is brilliant. I'm painting. I will wait for this to dry, to paint the second layer. Now, I'm just quoting another layer on top like this. This technique can be used in various ways. The lifting technique, I'm applying a layer of paint forced. That is a lot of purple on my brush. I'm doing a third year of Lizzy. Coming back to lifting. I have taken a clean damp brush and I'm soaking the excess water on the tissue. Just press the belly of your brush and lift up like this. Wherever you want to lift the excess pigment. A synthetic brush works best for this lifting technique. And you can also practice if you're not familiar with it. You can try different brushes of different sizes and try and see which works best for you. For splattering technique, I'm going to load my brush with a lot of paint and water and tap on the brush like this. This was on dry surface. Now let's see on wet one using red now I will splatter on this white background and you can see it is forming blooms. Also, I have switched to a smaller brush, which gives me the smallest platters. The quantity of water in brush will also determine the amount of plateaus. And good size. Negative painting is when we are working in the negative space that is around the object. Now e.g. these are buildings and have to show the lights as the main object here, so forth, depending on the color you want for the lights, you have to paint it like this. And then you have to paint with our darker values around this, assuming that our windows and the lights. My object here is Windows and I'm painting around it. Are we making horizontal and vertical lines for the windows like this? The yellow part isn't dry yet, but I'm showing this on purpose to show that it gives a faded look. So you can use this wet on wet technique is also for such fine details. You can switch to a smaller sites around brush for showing that gosh, are opaque watercolor technique to paint on. First, I'm making a darker layer for you all to understand how it makes a difference in radius dark paintings. So until this dries, let's go back to the mask technique. Since it is dry now, I'm painting on top of this. And you can see how it resists water color. Now this layer dry and then we can take off the masking fluid and keep. Coming back to the Gouache technique. I have taken quick consistency, of course, and painting lightning. Also, opaque, white watercolor, will provide the same results as that of oh gosh. Let's take this off and you can see how clean the results are. You remove the masking fluid with the help of a finger or eraser? There was a little paint on my fingers which led to this. So let's use an eraser now. So using these techniques, you can paint any lighter areas like this. We are done with our basic techniques. So let's just take off the masking tape. Now. Let's have a recap of all the techniques that we have learned. Forestry, so wet on, wet for clouds, then gradient, wash, dry brush technique and reflection, masking. Tape technique for retaining whitespaces, then glazing and lifting, splattering on wet and dry surfaces and negative painting. Finishing off with the gauche or opaque watercolors. 4. Masking tape : So let's start by taping my paper down from all DHS. Since in watercolor paintings with a lot of photo or techniques like wet on wet or light washes. Masking tape is very helpful to prevent buckling of the paper and also it will provide neat and clean edges. I'm using normal masking tape and it is readily available and also cheap in price. You can use border thickness of your choice. I like having a thin to medium-sized border for my paint to ensure that there's no gap in-between the masking tape and the people that are on your fingers or a scale over the masking tapes. Once again, we can now start with the project. 6. Sketch: We will start our sketch by drawing a baseline. It is sloping downwards towards the right. The thunder lightning be loose with the sketch and just make some wavy lines. So at this point, I will have my origin of the thunder, lightning. The father you hold your pencil, the better you will achieve results. This is only for achieving those patterns. Whereas when you want some detailed ones, you have to hold your pen so you towards the right now, I'm sketching only few main ones for applying masking fluid. On top of this. I am making this a bit lighter with the help of an eraser. If you have kneadable eraser, it will be well and good. After taking off the excess graphite marks, I will apply the masking fluid. 7. Masking Fluid: I'm using masking fluid by Bruce Toyota. Keep your hands ready light while applying the masking fluid. Because we need thin, fine lines. If you do not have masking fluid, do not worry as gosh paints will come for the rescue. All you need is a white gouache, as it is opaque and can be painted over the previous of. Also while applying masking fluid, make sure you use an old brush. Lightnings might appear as roots as they branch out from taco to final ones. Apply this similar knee on our sketch lines. After you have done applying masking fluid to all of the main lines, let it dry for at least half an hour and then we'll proceed. Being being the project. 8. Prepping paints and paper: Let's start the project by prepping the paints and people with water. Spray bottle is very helpful for this. For this project, we will need neon pink, and this shear is from White Nights. I'm using Payne's Gray from Van Gogh box and mixing it with the neon pink. This is the darker shade. We will obtain more of a lighter one by mixing more of neon pink in the mixture. If you do not have neon pink, you can also use carmine or operator or any other similar colors. Being ready. And now we have to prep up April. I'm using my three-quarters flat brush for applying water all over the people. Apply it evenly. About the horizon line. Apply more and more water eventually, as the fibrous we start absorbing the water on the surface. You can also use a spray bottle for this. As it renders even distribution all over the surface. Using the flat brush, I will even out the water on top of the horizon line. The water on the surface should be even and have a machine like this. If there is any extra blob of photo, you can see it with the shoe or clot. 9. Color Swatches: Let's watch out the colors for the project. For shade is neon pink. And the second is Payne's gray. You can also use some blank if you don't have Payne's gray. We will also need some yellow deep. 10. First layer: I'm using the pink mixture now and applying random brushstrokes. Just go with the flow of the paints and water. This is the area of a region where the light will be more bright. So try and keep this phase right. I haven't washed my brush and directly using the dark Payne's gray, I'm sure. I'm applying this directly on top of the previous pink and letting it blend on its own. I'm now using Payne's gray directly for adding more contrast to the sky. We will add Payne's gray in different layers local ballot for adding depth to the sky. This time, I will take Payne's gray with lesser water and more of the pigments that will add more of the color. Now just beneath this pink, I'm adding darker Payne's gray. I'm adding some brush strokes from the site. I'm adding some darker stormy clouds. All you need to do a snap your brush, like how I'm doing. A mop brush will be very helpful for forming clouds. Are Payne's gray directly at the bottom. I have some neon pink left in the brush, but it is completely okay. I'm trying to keep the areas near the lightning byte just to show a glow effect. But if it's like difficult or not possible, then you can just paint over. It's okay. Initially, I'm adding a lighter value. At almost at the middle of the painting, we have our darker line, that is the clouds. And beneath that it is like gluing. The glow is all from the lightning. Add some darker values at the sides like this. And I'm just trying to maintain a glow around the masking fluid by keeping the value slider. And if at all it does not happen to not worry as you can use lifting technique for RSQ. For every time you lift paints from the people. Wash our brush properly in clean water, wipe it with a clean towel or tissue, and then use it for lifting techniques. Now I'll form more structure clouds by using darker Payne's gray and my darker Payne's gray, I'm in more of the pigment and less of water just from smaller clouds. Now, with the help of dabbing motion, since this mop brush has a good, fine tip, I am able to make smaller clouds as well. If you're not comfortable with the mop brush, you can use a smaller round brush as well. So similar to the previous steps, I'm going to add depth by adding few more darker values of Payne's gray. So now that I have finally washed my brush, now using a clean, damp brush, I will lift on the hairy structures. Are we adding a bit of touch-up with Payne's gray here? I'm lifting some paints here from the origin side, but it looks like the paper has dried up. Now. For some touch-up, I'm adding the Payne's gray and neon pink mixture. Since the paper has got a bit too wet. Now I'm trying to lift again. We will paint a second layer on top of this. Since the paints have done very light and shade, and I'm not really happy with how it looks. 11. Second layer: For the second layer, I will impact my people by using the spray bottle. Spray bottle will helping we go writing of the paper compared to a line with the help of a brush. Okay, let me keep this brush aside because those paper to listen now, to do the job. Now I'm taking the excess water with the highest buffer tissue. And the machine shows that that is unevenly or photo. I'm using Payne's gray with good concentration on the brushstrokes and the areas that are to be dark are similar to the previous ones. I haven't used my mop brush for the second neon because mop brush tend to hold more water and less of the pigments. And hence, I have switched to a round brush of size eight. I will tell the board from left to right to let water and paint to the magic. Now, with a clean, damp brush, I will lift the excess pigment from the glowing spots. Make sure your brushes clean every time you lift pinch. You can also use tissue by dabbing like this to lift off paint. I'm adding some more concentrated Payne's gray here. Now, keeping a masking tape here at the bottom of the board, I will obtain Oslo or tilting the board, which will let the gravity work on the beans and water. This method also leads to a natural blend of the pigments and the water. I'm adding even smaller dots now as clouds. With the help of a clean, damp brush, now, I'm softening the edges. And the ones I've softened it, I'm going to add more Payne's gray at the top. My paper is now semi dry and the strokes can be distinctively scene. So I'm trying to add a few brush strokes like this by using the size of the brush. And just almost like scratching with the help of the belly of the brush. Why is the paper is semi wet paint? The bottom part like this with Payne's gray for the city. I'm dragging the paint downwards. I'm just filling it in. See you next in painting the details. 12. Details : Let's take off the masking fluid, either with the help of your fingers or with help of any reason? Always test your masking fluid on the people before starting out. Few papers are not very friendly with masking fluid. That is mostly handmade papers, which are 100 posts important. I'm now using white gosh, no good thick consistency. Just be light on your hands. So have you observed roots of small lines closely? They are initially thicker and branch out into thinner ones. I'm just doing it randomly as a power like it. So all you have to do is mix them EBV lines and have fun. You can also use a white pen for this purpose to make a thin, fine lines. I'm adding these white lines to darker areas will highlight more. And I guess that's enough of a lightning. Just beneath the force clear paint, another layer with a darker Payne's gray. And I'm just filling in the bottom part here with the leftover means green. Now with the same, I'm drawing some bars for the bridge. Draw lines like this and connected with each other. Now start making some grass like Patton's, just from where the second year started. Now to the towers of the great. I'm adding some light. I'm using yellow DPO for the lines, but you can use any yellow. Add few dots randomly for depicting the city lights as well. I'm using white gouache to add more highlights with the lights. Now. White dots will show more glowing lights. That will create a better night scene of the city. Let's wash our brush now because we are done with our painting. I felt that maybe the lines you should be darker. So I'm just adding a few of them. See you in the final review of our project. 13. Final reveal : Hi, I'm always so scared to remove the masking tape. Since these are Arches paper, the people want to rip off. But always pull at an angle and the patient, while taking the tape off. We have a clean edges. And I'm really loving how the project looks. I hope it was fun to try this project. I'm awestruck with the thunder, lightning and how it looks. The glowing this car is so beautiful. We had our original the time to lightning from where all of the time that I mean, arises. See you in the next project. 15. Sketch: This project includes a city with reward. So our baseline for the river. Now all you have to do a sneak some blocks, that is, draw some buildings over here. The sizes of your brain links can vary from mine, it's a completely okay. So from the baseline, I will draw lines upright and then connect these with each other. I think it is better to use pen tool directly then using our skill because it might save time. Draw some bushy structures at the bottom of the breeding. I'm drawing some smaller beginning complexes. Now, let's align all the pencil sketches into straight lines. And that's done. 16. Masking fluid: Let's start by applying masking fluid over the building it, yes. You can also use a masking tape and sturdier if we do not have Muslim. If you're using masking tape, you have to first cut out the desired shape and then applied. You can also think this kind directly by writing the sky area only. But the movement would be very restrictive. So if you do not have a masking fluid, at least use a masking tape for the movement. Once you have applied the masking fluid on all the buildings, let it dry for at least half an hour. All masking fluids are different and hence the drying time is different. So you have to check the drying time of your masking fluid. After this is dry, we can start painting with this guy. 17. Prepping paints and paper: I'm prepping my paper and pins for painting now. Use a good amount of water for wetting the paper. Because once you apply for the fibers are going to solve the water as soon as the water comes in contact with them. This is why we have to keep repeating applying water from the nearby evenly. Once you have a good sheen on the paper, it's done. 18. Color Swatches: For this project, you will first need violet deep. You can use a new wireless that you have. The next year. It is burnt sienna, yellow medium, or you can also use cadmium yellow. Next is yellow D, you can add a little orange. The yellow, bluish green. Last year is Payne's gray. You can also use black or neutral tint. 19. First layer: We will first use Riley deep in a very light concentration. Stan map line from the top left corner. And using a left to right motion, come at the bottom. Just file it will add Payne's gray. Now in very light concentration, sky will be very dark with stormy clouds, but we will do that in the ears. Let's do the placement of sheets and then build up layers. Now you'll be in a very good concentration that is less of water and more of the pigment. And just make some random brushstrokes from left to right like this. Using the same brush and blending with the Payne's gray. Now take a very good concentration of Payne's gray and make some random brush strokes in the form of clouds. Just some dabbing motion. And the paper and portal will do its magic. The pigments will flow with the direction of water. After making clouds at the top makes some brush strokes from sites like this year with a darker Payne's gray at similar brushstrokes and build up layers. I'm trying to maintain a white lawyer towards the right. You have to just try awarding mixing paints over there. You're white glow can be any left, right, or center. Now I'm making similar brushstrokes from the top here. I feel the top part needs to more of a darker Payne's gray. So I'm adding a little bit of the brush strokes. Now I'm making small low clouds. I will be repeating the same brushstrokes. Only thing is I'm building layers by layers with Payne's gray. Let's make some small stormy clouds here. Then making some treat and diagnose brush strokes like this. It looks like my paper and I started to dry. So I have to walk up faster. Makes a little violet with any brand that you have and add some brush strokes at the bottom. Some euro spent for some contrast. With a clean damp brush. I'm lifting some paints. Your father lightning. If your paper has dried up, it's okay because we will be also painting a second. This is not a necessary step, but it adds a glow. The lightning. Sum that up yeah, For the left top parts. And see you in the next block. 20. Second layer: For the second layer of the sky, gently apply water. Do not be too hard while applying water. Otherwise, you will end up activating the liver and pulling up paints. The top parts will die out for, so apply more water. Once I'm done writing the first year, I went to the excess water that offered issue. Whenever that is more of water at the sites of the masking tape that are more chances of the water coming back into the painting in the form of blues. So to avoid this, it is best to the excess water that is dead. And the painting, I will start with paints gray and a darker version of it for the clouds. The brushstrokes and just left to right tapping motion and completely random. Add some at the top of this violet clouds as well. Since my wildly tan brown. Or when I'm making some more and adding it to the sky, I'm lifting a little over a year for sure. Are lighter clouds. Just to light in the sky a little more, I'm lifting up, But you can also use a clean damp brush instead, like this. With Payne's gray, I will add some more contrast two sides bomb. Also make some darker diagonal and vertical strokes like this. Add smaller clouds as you like. Would that go for clean, damp brush like this for the thunder lightning? If your paper has dried up, it is. Okay because this is just for w of the thunder lightning. It is not a required step. 21. Details: I will post mates. Who thinks outline. First, follow the sketch that you have done. That will make it easier for understanding the buildings. If you're afraid to use a brush directly or for the outlines, you can use a micron pen, which is waterproof. With a micron pen, your work with me much easier and your time will also be saved. But I prefer using our brush. Painting lines with brush directly helps to boost confidence whilst also improving the muscle memory of your hand. So for the first building, I'm just filling it up with horizontal lines like this. Once the horizontal lines are done, I'm going to add vertical lines or dots in random. This is to show that not all the fluids are rooms of the building or let the white part will show or resemble the lighting of the floor order. For this Berlingo, I'm showing front as well as Bo angular side view. Draw lines as soon as possible. This is a really good exercise, I tell you. Just don't be afraid. Nobody's judging New York. This will make you understand how much you too long. For some variation. I'm making like vertical stripes. You then making a block in the center. Then make some vertical stripes on the bottom lines as well. Now with the bluish green are making some horizontal stripes on this breeding. Using yellow medium, I will paint this full length. You can leave some white spots in between as well. But this bringing other paint using dry brush technique with the white and yellow areas will represent light. Just some contrasts and adding yellow deep besides, you add some yellow dots to this burning as well, resembling light. I'm adding yellow paint randomly onto the buildings. I know this is all to me by just trust the process. Using bluish green, I will put some parts of the Berlin using glazing technique. I will paint on this already painted lines. Using Payne's gray. I will add some more details, lightest lines now. First I'm drawing the outside boundaries of the buildings and then pulling it with random lines, horizontal or vertical. And this is happening in complete random. So please, please sit back and relax. Forced, absorbed, and then I'm sure you will be definitely able to do it. So our only AMU for the Berlin should be to fill it with random lines or stripes. Keep waiting. The tone of Payne's gray. This morning, I'm going to make some small center lines. And from those, I will extend outwards like Navy Yard, you have to imagine parallel pixel columns. We can see three sides facing us. I'm now mixing dark lines for a better view. It would also add to a darker contrast. For this bending. Now, it will Payne's gray and they will need two spaces with the yellow. Once we are done with the basic outline of the buildings, will be more contrast with beans. We are painting over the same line. So again, what I'm believing the contrast, I haven't washed my brush now and take a good amount of yellow deep. We will add this to the top of the buildings. Asked lights. Just use dots at the links for assembling the lights at the terrace. Now from distorted lights will make some rays are quotes like that of the sun. I'm adding a little bit of bluish green neon because I didn't feel it right this way. Also, I didn't want it to break down. With Payne's gray. I'm drawing a line just below the buildings. Do not get confused when I'm seeing it is painting. If you're not confident enough to make finer details, you can also use a micron pen. Once none would this horizontal line, I'm going to add some bushes just on top of the line. Let's now add some highlights using white quash. Add small white dots at the center of the yellow lights. This will be for a more of a concentrated blue. Then you can add white dots randomly for the breedings. Just make sure it is inside the square blocks or the nurse. But the light, you can add as many or as little as you want. Similar to the previous steps that we had done in here. Now with white mix, some arrays are quotes. Maybe I'll do this for all because it looks better with white. Instead off the handle. I will start the thunder, lightning forced with the mafioso. From this main branch, Yahoo poke out. My branches are always turn out to branches are good. So I'll start on one up right here. You can see how we glean a motion. I'll make one more crazy wavy reviewer for the final branches. And you can also use and that's it. We're done with our sky. 22. Bottom lake: For the bottom lake reflection, we will start by applying water force applied evenly on the people. For deflections, we have to paint the exact same shifts that are there on the top. For stem starting with bluish green. Wherever I see bluish green. For the buildings. These are just simple downward strokes and nothing difficult. After this, clean your brush and take yellow deep and paint below the breathings like this. This shapes will try and mix together, but try and prevent it. And if it does not happen and you form a green, it's okay because we'll be using Payne's gray for the rescue. So I'm adding it wherever there are lines are the outer boundaries of the buildings. Bill darker value slowly in layers. I will go over some part from the bottom as well. Now, if you've any area and does not seem right, you can also corrected using lifting technique. I will add some yellow deep in-between the darker areas, show some lighter flexion. I'm mixing wider deep with burnt sienna and painting it on the bottom. This will be the reflection for this guy. 23. Final reveal: So let's do the final reveal of a project. And you know, the peak of masking tape gently. And at an angle. My table is a bit cheeky for the moment. But I hope you like the project. This project was a little overwhelming, but I'm sure that you will be happy with how it turned out. Thank you for watching. 25. Color Swatches : For this project, we will need blue. You can use a Prussian blue. Then I'll be using OCR from this set. You can use sagittal and blue as the alternative. Then we will need to violet. You can also create your own purple. Then I'll be using this VOC, neon pink from White Nights, sap green. I'll be using green deep as well, but you can just add blue and this sap green to form a darker green, burnt sienna. And Payne's gray or neutral tint. 26. Sky: Let's start with the sketch first. So draw a line. The horizon line should be approximately at half of the people. That is 50, 50%. Or you can even go for 40 to 60. 60 being for this guy. Then draw a diagonal line from the starting point like this. Draw another diagonal line just below this. Starting from the same point. Dorsum mountains of lactose like this for our floral fee. And with some upright mountains like this, we are done with our sketch. Let's start painting the sky now. We will be working wet on wet for the sky. So apply a good even layer of water. Reapply, water as the fibers will soak in the excess. Carefully outline the mountains like this with the brush. I am reapplying the water and making sure that it is even A-flat or hockey brush is very useful for waiting with water like this. Since my brush is a little smaller to the size of what I'm painting. I have to go over repeatedly. The sheen of the people should be even like this. I will start the sky with neon pink and decide like this. Just use dabbing motion and apply paint at the side. When you move upwards, paint with a lighter value of the neon pink. You can also use crimson or calm mind. I'm initially going with the darker shade and then proceeding with the lighter values. The placement of the colors will be complete random. Do not go for a darker values at the beginning itself. As painting in layers will help in adding depth to the painting. I am now heading. We can add any blue of your choice. So at the bottom, I'm adding a darker shade and then I will paint lighter values at the top. I am doing this because some of the areas in our sky will be gluing because of the lightning. With a lighter value of absorb blue. I'm drawing a line here like this. The bottom of this clouds there will be a lightning glow. With a clean damp brush. I will lift some of the excess pigments that are here. We will go with diagonal brush strokes at this glowing spot here. And I'll blend is too. I'm using left to right motion. And I'll blend this with a clean brush here because the excess of us and Think, Do not worry much as the water will do its job of blending on its own. You have to only make sure that you are working wet-on-wet. I'll be adding a little more concentrated neon pink at the right corner. And if the blue mixes with the pink, it is okay because it will form a beautiful purple. I'm taking a little purple from the bottom and adding at the top like this, because it's too much. Now taking a good, good concentration of blue and to the top like this. And then come to the bottom as the pain starts getting off lesser value as seen in a gradient wash. With the same blue, I'm marking a line for the clouds. And then add some stormy clouds at the top of this line. Do not go for darker values at the starting itself. Make random brushstrokes as where you live for the clouds. Let's add a layer of clouds to this line at the bottom like this. Then with the blue Add diagonal strokes like this. Starting from bottom. After washing the brush. So the excess water on a tissue and lift the pigments like this diagonally starting from the top. Now, we are doing this because the line below the loop notes is the glowing area. Next with wider deep, I'll add some clouds like this at the top. Observed the brushstrokes. As the pigment value from the brush is lesson. Now, I will move to the bottom for the clubs. I'll sum on top of this pink as well, like this, at this size. Smaller clouds using smaller brush strokes near the lightning like this. There was too much pigment at this side here. I'm taking a little and adding other clouds at other places. And do this by adding value to the previous pope is now its own. Add a darker value of neon pink at the bottom, and add some touch ups if needed. Now with darkest value of blue, I'm adding some smaller clouds on top of the previous existing purpose loves doing this or painting in layers. We'll build a depth in the painting. I'm adding clouds randomly, like some are small, some are big. And in any direction. You simple brush strokes. It's like almost I'm drawing a line on sectioning the pot, adding some at the sides here. And also in-between and blending the pink and the blue. Using Wiley deep, I will further add the darker clouds at the sides. Asda new lessons I will miss to the bottom Clouds. If you observe, I'm washing my brush very less frequently. Now for our final show stopper, let's add Payne's gray to the top and all super contrast. Paint smaller clouds and ensure that the layers beneath our visible. You can now finally, wash your brush as we are done with this guy, only that we have to lift some of the areas for the lightning glow. So for lifting technique, always so the excess water on a tissue or a towel and do not introduce any new water into the painting. We will have only a little lightning for this project. So only the glow from the clouds can make a difference in the project. From the bottom point of the clouds lift a little like this. And we are done with our gluey sky. 27. Magical field: I'll be increasing the size of the Florida. So in case you do a similar line like me previously. I'm so sorry about it, but it's just a line. And this project is completely from my mind. And right now I just felt that maybe I need a more of the greenery. Then start directly with sap green. The sap green from this naval palette is very bright. I'm using wet on dry method and just applying the green paint. Being completely with the sap green within the line. I'm using a little Born sienna and adding to this line. This is to depict some marred and to add depth in the field. Just add small, small dots like this that will resemble foliage. Use more burnt sienna to add more darker values. If you've absorbed, the dots are more towards the line and lesser towards the top. Printing this line again with leftover color. And it is not necessary to be a straight line, just that it was a demarcation for the separation of the two colors in the field. As next, we will be painting lavender field. I'm using green deep. I'm adding some foliage or grass like pattern. Cover the entire Greenfield with this pattern. Paint darker values near other line. Whereas when you move upwards, you can use lighter brush strokes. This random strokes as given such a fuller look to our feeding now, using neon pink, I will add some small dots as flowers. I'll be using a little white watercolor to make some tasters sheets. Take some white aside and add a little neon pink to this. You will get a beautiful bright pink shade. You can also use crimson, red instead. Mix well and in a good consistency. And splattered on top of the villi. Be careful to not splatter on the sky. Splatter in small clusters like this. As wild flowers. You can also add dots like this, but it will take a lot of time. Just marking the oxide line a little. Next for the lavender reside, I'm taking some burnt sienna and do this. I'll be adding some neon pink mix well, and I directly using wet on dry technique. Using neon pink, I will add some like this and blend. This is for the added contrast and texture that rest with the neon pink and burnt sienna mixture. Now take some wider deep or any winery that you have enacted the corner. Then blend well using sides talks between the two colors. You can also add some water if the paper is starting to dry. The only key to better blending is when the paper is wet. Some neon pink and blank again. Now using green date, some grass like patterns or foliage for this as well. Also using a thick concentration now sap green add some grasses in a similar manner. Add wherever you feel it is a study that is no restriction as such for the grasses. Just add the Binet blending should be visible. Wash your brush well, and now let's make our different basins sheared. So do some whitewater color, add some violet deep and nickel-based till. Now, since there will be a lot of splatters, I prefer covering the sky with the paper using their dark purple. Now splatter some in the window until you can add some dots in a line or living dose. I'm switching to my size eight round brush now and adding some more white watercolor to this previous. Take a good consistency and splatter as much as you want. Well, some variation. Add some neon pink, the space symbol. Smudging this other Dell because the splatters are too big. Now finally, using some white watercolor, I will flag it like this in small, fine clusters. Also, I have switched to a smaller size brush. You can add white dots wherever you feel it is necessary. We are done with splattering and the field looks gorgeous. So now you can take off the cover people and wash your brush. Well. 28. Details : Start with burnt sienna for the faraway mountains. You can also paint with burnt sienna on top of the existing Skyping. That is, we will be using glazing technique using burnt sienna. If you observe, well, I'm using burnt sienna, but the color appears to be off burnt umber. That is because the existing paint layer beneath is creating a darker color. Just adding some dollar mountains like this, add some pieces. You can also add a tiny thing, Jeff Payne's gray, I'm blended. Well. We are done with our basic shape of the mountains. So let's take the paints aside because we will be only working with white gouache for the lightning now. And it will also give me a free movement of hand. You can also use a white watercolor. If we do not have a Gosh paint, I'll start with a very thin line from the mountain. You're like This, reaching upwards. All the lightning strike that we will be painting will be below this lawyer. I'm going with very thin lines and find lightning and not like the previous ones. Make fine lines and branch out even to not. I'm adding a small dot as light and then filling it out with a clean damp brush. Then switching back to a smaller sized round brush, I'm adding some small, small dots for lights. For final touches. I will add some small white dots in the field wherever I feel it needs a little highlight. And then finally, I will start with the white quash overall. And we're finally done with our project. So you can wash your brush now. 29. Final Reveal: Let's take off the masking tape and see how the final painting looks. This is so satisfying to take off the masking tape and have clean sharp borders. The project looks so beautiful and the glow from the lightning is so stunning. This one looks really magical. What do you say? If you love this project? Do try and share in the project section. I'll be more than delighted to see this magical beauty from my students. 31. Sketch: This sketch make a little sloping line and then add a semicircle for the temple. On top of this semicircle, add another smaller semicircle. Then on top of that semicircle, add a small block like this. And then add a small ring like semicircle on top of the block. And then cover it with another small block, autofocus and then draw a line extending outwards like this. We will have some bushy structures. So this is for that make some small lines of blocks as part of the temporal. Besides it, I'm drawing a line and below it, I'm making some small windows. Now, our overall view is to be blurred and it is not anything in detail. You can assume that our rows of houses, you and besides that, there is some other institute or something which we will not be focusing on. On top of this, I'm drawing another line and then extending the temporal part downwards. I'm drawing a small rectangle. We need this temporal part as part of it. And then we will have some trees here besides the temple that will be in the lighter areas, assuming that our street lights. So we will be using a little masking fluid. You are as well. If you do not have a masking fluid, do not worry. You can paint using cosh. On top of this. Then I'm drawing lightning and some random strokes. Assuming the origin to be here. I'm not happy with how it looks using this. And I'm extending the line downwards and making final lines, branching in different directions. And our sketches ready. 32. Masking fluid : Before applying the masking fluid, I will fade. The pencil marks are little. And then using my old thin brush, I will apply very fine lines of masking fluid. Apply as ten lines as possible for the lightning. You can also speed up this section a little if needed in the speed section. Also add masking fluid to the slides over you. Then I'm rubbing some towards the bushes. The bushes are not necessary, but you can add some like this, just like stippling technique. Add masking fluid to the Windows properly. Coming back to the lightening part, I will add some very thinner lines. Now. I'm scratching a little bit of masking fluid, this temporal part here, and then we are done. 33. Sky: I will get my pain steady, force my spring water. Then it's time for the people who get all the water for working on wet-on-wet techniques. By now, you must have known that work in layers even for prepping the paper with clean water. Because initially the fibers are going to soak in the excess water. And you have to cover the entire working area with left to right or top to bottom motion. And the paper should have a beautiful shine like this. I will start with as your blue for the sky. Leave a little space right below this and add some in a similar manner like this. Next, just beneath this, I will add bluish green. Initially, I'll be working in light values for the globe. Then on top of this, I will be building more concentrated values. You can also use acetylene. If you do not have a bluish green, then at the top, I'll be adding some blue. You can use a pollution Lucio. Now, with the concentrated value of bluish green, I'm adding some random brush strokes. Then add a darker value of blue. Add the same blue to the bottom line is. Now take some more concentrated blue and add some brush strokes like this. Using a clean, damp brush. Now I'm lifting from the lightning parts. That is wherever that is masking fluid. This will render a glow to the light. You will have to repeat the steps multiple times. As the paper is wet and the pigments will flow back. Water will flow back into this. So that's how the difference it is. I'm switching to my size eight round brush and adding bluish green. I'll add some in-between this lightning speed here as well. Now at the extreme top, I'm adding a very concentrated and then spreading it like this using random brush to add the same, using sides strokes like this. Just take care that the beneath lighter layer is still visible. Add even more darker blue brush strokes starting from the top. I'm not covering the entire sky with it, but just small brush strokes in left to right or a dabbing motion. Add some small brush strokes in-between your ribs. The top part should be very dark. So keep repeating these steps. Now taking a very concentrated value, I'm adding a line of clouds in-between the lines of like me. This is just one layer of glass. We have to do more. So keep adding those smaller, smaller brushstrokes. You have to just use the dabbing motion of your brush using the sites. All the tape. Observation is the key to achieving similar results. Now to increase even more depth, I'm adding Payne's gray and making even more stormy, darker clouds from the side. I'm just adding and pushing the paint like this. It is really easy. You have to just use a dabbing motion of the brush. Add some darker clouds with Payne's gray on top of the existing clouds, not the bottom sky. Arteriole, smaller clubs. Add some in-between the lightning as well. Small look now, just add some small dots. Once done with the sky, I will lift some of the areas near the lightning. If you're not using a masking fluid, you can lift some lines, assuming that is like I always say this. But use a clean damp brush for lifting and go over the same place multiple times. Guys done. 34. Foreground : Let's start painting the bushes first. I will first add yellow medium. On top of this, I will be adding green deep. You can also use a blue and mix it with yellow to form our darker green. You can also use a sap green. Then take any brown of your choice and blend it with the green. It will also form olive green in between. This will add to a lot of texture. For the pot. Just beneath this, I will add black. Or you can also use Payne's gray. Add a little more concentrated black at the corners. Cover the top part as well, but lack some bushy structures. You can also paint some trees. Covered the temporal part entirely with black. And be careful while painting the fine structures. Or you can also use a micron pen here. Also paying the small blocks besides the temporalis. Without washing the brush, I'm adding small, small dots. You're at the lighter areas. This will add a depth and contrast with the painting. Now I'm taking a good concentration of yellow deep and adding just beside this white dot. If you haven't used a masking fluid, then you can just assume, oh, lighter area and add the colors respective. Similarly, I'll add some yellow deep besides his windows as well. We lose some touch ups that is blending at some places. And also since I'm using a smaller brush now, I will add more fine structure. That is fine lines or other details. I want the area to flow a little more so I'm adding yellow deep and bending it like this using a sideways motion. And we are done. 35. Details : It's really fun process to remove the masking fluid, but also tiring one. You can use any method for removing the masking fluid. There are special erasers as well. For this purpose. You can also do it with your fingers. But take care that it does not smudges. I'm not showing the whole of the mourning process because it's the same. Do not forget to remove the masking fluid from the bottom. Using black, I will force outliner windows properly. Then using burnt sienna or any brown outline the windows like this from the inside. I first add lemon yellow to this slide eight parts. You are. Then on top of this yellow ocher, cadmium yellow. Further temples highlighted parts. I'm going with a very light wash off on sienna. Coming back to this tree here, add some lemon yellow and on top of it, maybe yellow. I'm blend with the rest. On top of this, I will add some green deep in form of dots. Since this lighter areas are where they are forming blooms and adding to our texture. Using some yellow blend with the black. This is just to represent some lights over you. Also, I will add some yellow around this lights over here. I'm blend with the black background in a circular motion. Also for more definition, I'm using black and adding it in the other temple. Just defining the windows properly. And using glazing or dry brush technique. Just blend with the rest of the lighter area. Add some yellow inside the windows to show lights. Just adding the leftover dots. You're randomly and rinse your brush. Well, because we are done with the foreground. Now for the lightning, use a thick consistency of white wash and be adding query thin, fine lines starting from the previous lightnings. The previous lightening lines that were in masking fluid that have to go n will be the initial points for the new lines. Now, I hope you are understanding my point here. Just absorbed and it will go by it easier for you. When you branch out lines, make sure it goes thinner and thinner. Hi. I guess that's enough because it's massive Lightning. Just for a few highlights, I'm adding small dots at the same dose of the light. I'm few teeny weeny dots, just to represent the light bottle away. 37. Sketch : Let's start the sketch with some rocks over here in this corner right now. So we will have a lake here. And that draw horizon line. I'm drawing few boats near the horizon line. And it's just a basic shape of our board. I'm drawing one beside the other, like they are at the shore. And change the shape of this boat. Alerted. One more board here, and then I will draw some houses or how sports behind these foods. Don't stress out too much with the sketch. So just some basic how's leg structure here? Few windows. All of this part are going to be in the dark and only the light's coming out of the windows will be essential ones. So do not worry much about this sketch. It is a little complicated, but it will be simplified if you just assume that everything is going to be in the dark and you have to paint only with black. So essentially only the boundaries or the outer edges will matter you. The light coming out from the windows will be the important ones. You can draw any shapes or blocks to represent houses or how sport. Just behind these houses are houseboats. We will have orange of mountains. So you can just make some plateaus up and down. All this area would be in black. So it does not matter much. The outer boundaries is what matters. I'm drawing a line because we need visually paint a lighter version of black. And it might represent a rock houses. I will use a ruler now for drawing the wires are the lines of the transmission tower. I will first start with the center part, and then gradually I will draw lines slanting from the middle on both the sides. I've drawn various lines across the transmission tower, which will make it look complex, yet eye-catching to the viewer. Now from the middle, I'm doing small bars across like this. Just correcting and detail and drawing a little small bar at the top. Now rho similar transmission towers of reading lens across the one before Sunday. You can just overlap one on the other. Which will actually mean that it is an online, but up curing as one behind the other. Do not worry much about this sketch. I will upload the sketching the resource section so you can either print it. Oh, get to it. Since this corner you're kind of empty. I will draw one small slant line and that completes transmission towers for the painting. For the faraway mountains. I'm just darkening the outside line like this so that it's easier for me to understand. 38. Sky: We will wrap up paper by applying water first. Apply a generous amount of water for this guy, but then with a flat brush, just spread it across even me. That is just too much water, so I will move it across. And this is possible because of the board. By taping paper to a board helps in mind, which is obviously a better option than fixing your paper to the table. Apply water above the mountains carefully. Wait for a minute or two for the paper fibers to soak in the excess water, then reapply water evenly onto the paper. Without issue, I will solve the excess water that is there on the masking tape. Otherwise, it will go back into the painting and form blues. I'm starting the sky with blue and applying it across the sky like this. You can use any blue and apply it evenly at the top. Applied more pigments at the top and lesser towards the bottom or the single. Using normal brushstrokes, I will apply at those sites like this. Keep the center part white, fur decided brushstrokes. I'm starting from the edge of the masking tape and ending it in the center with the leftover or diluted blue add to the top of the mountains. By top of the mountains, the bottom part of the sky beyond the mountains. By adding brushstrokes from the right I have obtained now or glow at the center bottom. For adding depth to the sky, we will use Payne's gray. Add it to this guy using sides strokes similar to those that we did at the bottom. It's not necessary for the whole underneath LEO to be visible. Only few sports is enough. Little by little, with more added concentration of Payne's gray, you have to build the depth of the sky. I am painting in a similar manner to that of the previous painting. Different layers of concentration. I'm lifting your own little within which I will paint more darker clouds with Payne's gray. Using highly concentrated Payne's gray, I'm not small, small clouds with the tip of the brush. I'm just touching the tip of the brush and dabbing it like this for wherever I want the clouds to be, add as many clouds as you want. I'm adding brushstrokes randomly for the cloud. Add some darker paint to the top part as well. Similarly, I will add to the sides as well. Are we paying even darker clouds now, with the highest concentration of the Payne's gray. You can use some black if you like. Since this cloud juris not much visible now and add some more, hand looks like the paper is still very wet. I will spread it a little and add a little to the side here. With a clean damp brush, I will lift a little across the cloud, especially for adding a glow to the Clouds as well as a glue for the lightning. So I will repeat this water multiple times. And every time I do this, I'm going to clean my brush. And so the excess water on a tissue. The good line for the thunder, lightning, and we are done with our sky. See you next for painting. The bottom part. 39. Foreground : I will use wet on wet technique for the houses or the houseboats. I will first start with applying water. Do not apply water to the Windows or the votes in the front. I just love watching the pigments flow with the water. Once I have applied the water evenly onto the parts other than the boats, I will drop on Payne's gray and let it spread across, excluding the windows. Are this diluted, payne's gray everywhere. I will now get the boats in the front as well. Digger, good concentration of Payne's gray now and add it to the top part of the board like this and let it spread. Since data is a lot of water on the brush and the people, I'm soaking a little under tissue and then lifting a little and blending it. Well for the boats. I know right now everything looks so messy. But watercolor is a process that is built in layers. In watercolors, we start with lighter value is first, and then the darker values for the depth and contrast in the painting. For the lights. Now, I will use yellow and add it to the remaining parts. That is a Windows. It's okay if it is blending in the Payne's gray on its own with the flow of photo. So this wet on wet technique, you will show that the light is spread across the parts. Let's add more character now to all these pods by using our darker Payne's gray. I am using this darker Payne's gray for the outer edges of the boats. Will add some lines across the board as well. More darker or more darker pink here as well. Let's paint the fido, give mountains and be backwards. Just outlining view of tall windows here. And feudal houses. Adding few random straight lines like this. With the brush itself. This will just add a little character to the painting whilst giving the look of various details of the row houses and Fido be passports. Black or more darker, Payne's gray. Add all these boundaries well, and try adding some imaginary details for the senior. Nothing is in-focus. You you have to just imagine line of row houses with LED lights. I'm seeing row houses again and again, but it might not even be that there's just a few places to our houses or whatever that might be across the show. For the reverse, I'm wetting it with water first. Start with blue and apply similar strokes to that of the sky as it will show that reflection in the water. So I'm using the tip of the brush to paint this part of the lake or the reverse. Similar brush strokes from the right as well, leave a part of white in the center that is a little towards the right. For the reflection of the sky. Start adding Payne's gray from the sides like this and do not cover the blue, completely. Switched to a smaller size brush now, because we have to paint lots of ripples and waves. Reflection would be in screen just below the boats. I'm going to add ten fine lines with Payne's gray that will resemble waves in your eye will make some letters drawn lines in circular or coughed form. Start with a lighter color first. Move your brush in us wall motion. And you will obtain Beaufort triples. Also, the paper should be wet while doing this. Taking the Payne's gray aside, I will add the waves and ripples in gradual concentration. This side here, I've not small, small dots that are arising across the reports. Even near the boats reflection, I will add views. These are just blank lines from the board using a deeper value. Now, add views from the sides. For the bottom part, just cover it with Payne's gray or black. You can make it look like a rock by smooth edges or add some grasses or trees here. It's just your wish. I will add some grass light patterns that are there in their dark years. See you next in painting, the details of the painting. 40. Details : Using black or Payne's gray, start adding fuel thin lines, adding form, of course, closer to one another. I'm adding the line slipped really randomly. Darkening the lines for the transmission tab. You can use black directly for this or even use a micron pen. I will be using brush directly. This is a really good exercise for brush control. With this, you can learn to draw straight lines using brush directly. Just remember, practice will make you perfect. So draw or paint all the lines of the transmission tower as per the sketch. Using Payne's gray, I am darkening the mountains are little because I feel it is a little lighter in appearance. Just going over a few of the lines again, I'm darkening and adding feel more. Let's outline the boats with some Payne's gray or black. A few stripes in the middle as well. Now to the faraway house or houseboats. You have to do is just add few boundaries are the outlines for the windows. As I've said, a new nothing yard is in-focus. Where do I just defining few of the outlines. Your I'm outlining it as though it is the lighter part. That is, the nucleoid is acting like the lighter part. I will also add some reflection to the boats, which is darker. You can use a dry brush Tokyo and painting higher concentration of the black of Payne's gray. After cleaning the paint brush thoroughly. And we'll move on to the thundering part using the white gosh. Let's take this aside and just white wash. Now, using a good thick consistency, I will paint in ten lines like this across the glowing areas that I've left earlier. Then from this starting point, just branch out and finer wavy lines. You can start from anywhere you like, or even connect to all of the lines. If you are more comfortable using a white Jelly Roll pen, you are free to do that. It's okay if you are painting about the transmission towers because at the end we'll still paint on top of it with black or Payne's gray. This will make sure that you are lightning is in a continuous form and that is no break in between. And it's okay if you do only few of these as being, being so many thin lines can be overwhelming. And I went to much overboard. Using white gouache, you can add some small dots as light. You can paint some small dots that will represent light far away across the mountain. Photo, find that highlights, we will add some reflection for the lights in the lake. I really dab the excess with my fingers and just add some little streaks. We'll vary the reflection here by adding just a little offered. Use very little water on your brush. Or you can even go with a dry brush technique. So, so can any extra water that is set on the brush, on the tissue and then you will be able to get such highlights. I'm adding some small dots as attributes. The center, I'm adding some lines. Add few dots, CRS, which will add depth to the painting as all of these highlights will complete the reflection part. A little more touch here. And maybe that's enough of the highlights to add more of the contrast. I will use Payne's gray and add few lines. Or maybe I will just go for blue and see how it turns out as a part of reflection from the sky. Just adding few very minute lines. Nowadays, the final lightning threats. I'm not kind of much satisfied with the reflection part, so we're just adding a little more darker value of the gosh. I will add some streaks you are as well in this corner. Now for the final part, I will just darken the lines that are not visible because of the white course. Just using the leftover to darken the outlines of the boat. And with that, we're done with our project. 41. Conclusion : Let's take out the masking tape and reveal our final painting for this class. Be gentle while taking the masking tape.
