Velvet Peony- One Stroke Painting

1. Introduction : Hi. Hello everyone. I hope you're doing good. So this is far different afternoon today we are here to learn this particular painting on an A4 sized canvas. This is what we're going to learn. And to do this painting, I'm gonna show you how to paint the basic strokes. So these are all the basic strokes you're going to learn. After you learn this one, you can easily paint on canvas. Again. In the coming videos, I'm going to share what are all the materials and how to choose a brush, and the nature of acrylic medium, how to load your bridge? What is the basic proportion of loading your brush? And how to get the creamy effectively a rash and everything in detail, step-by-step manner so that you can understand them easily. At the end of the session, you will learn to create your own floral composition, how to add leaves, and how to paint a beautiful peony in your own way. I'm super exact. Let's see. In the next video. 2. Materials Required : Again. So the materials required to paint that Paeony or A4 size canvas, you can use a forces Canvas or you can even normal acrylic sheets, which is about two to four D GSM. So that then only it will be thick enough so that you can frame it and hang it in your wall. We need what is your brushes I'm going to use today are three by four inch flat brush. You can measure using a finger. Up to this line, it will be one inch. So you can measure using your finger like this. This is three by four inch flat brush, half inch flat brush. A quarter inch flat brush. If needed, we can use that and a fine tip around bridge we're going to use. So these are all the things and a pallet to load your brush. And the colors we're gonna use, our violet. These are our artists grade acrylic paints. You can use any brand, but make sure you buy or disagreed because this will be vibrant, thick enough to do one stroke technique. And if you use student grade, it will be very thin and it has lot of binders than pigment. So better try to choose a TBI, artistic Grade acrylics from any brand. The colors. I'm using this acrylic paints from reefs and also from Liquitex basics. These two brands are my favorite. So the colors yet again, violet. Ross read. If you don't have rose red, you can go for magenta. Titanium white, Mars Black. For the leaves. I'm going to use a medium yellow and Prussian blue hue. To add the diodes to the center portion. This part, I'm going to use burnt umber. This is from reefs and yellow ocher. This is from Alpha. So yeah, these are all the colors you're going to use today. Let's start doing that. 3. Preparing the Canvas: So firstly, let's block the background of our canvas so that it will dry until we do the basic strokes. And of course, the paper towel or a rough clock to remove the excess water from your brush. So I'm going to remove the plastic wrap. Be careful when peeling off, when you use a sharp object to peel off The Plastics. So now I'm going to block the background using pure black. Okay. This is from Liquitex basics. Again, put the paint directly on your canvas. Or you can use your palettes and pour some paint on this and then you can spread it all over. I'm going to use my three by four inch flat brush to spread the black. The first thing you need to do, wash your brush by going back and forth. When you use a flat bridge. Drain the excess water, dab it on a paper towel or a cloth to remove the excess water from the brush. Now I'm going to spread the colors all over. This is relax. And paint. I'm going to use little bigger one. This is one inch as this takes a bit more time. Just to wash it. Sometimes when you belonged the background, then you do one layer and the layer is still wet. And if you add another layer of paint, when you do the brushstrokes, it might take off the paint from the Canvas. So what you can do is you can wait until the first coat dries completely. Come back again after five to ten minutes because acrylic dries faster. So after that, if you add another coat of paint, it won't come out from the Canvas, Okay. Okay. And now I complete a completely blocked the background. So we have to let it dry completely. So in the meantime, let's do all the basic strokes. Give whenever you use the brush, the first thing you need to do is wash it completely. Otherwise, it will damage the blisters. Just wash your brush immediately after each use. Again. Now I'm going to do the basic strokes and the colors. I'm going to use our medium and low. 4. Loading the Brush with Paint : I'm going to do the basic strokes and the colors. I'm going to use our medium yellow and Prussian blue hue. And the brush I'm going to use is three by four inch flat brush. Just wash your brush. By going back and forth, drain the excess water and paint on a paper towel or a cloth because for actually we don't need to add so much water with that. If you add too much water in certain period of time, your artwork may end up creating some cracks that will definitely disappoint you, write better, add very less amount of water that too when you need that. Okay. I already have Prussian blue hue and medium yellow in my palette. Along with that, we're going to use titanium white. Okay, So the basic proportion of loading your brushes, 1 third of the bristles with lighter shade, 2 third of the crystals with a darker shade. Okay, So here I loaded 1 third, 1 third of the Bristow with yellow and tutored with the Prussian blue hue. And now I'm going to load it. Okay, 123 and come back. Just go back and forth until you load your brush. At least half of the Bristol or more than half. Okay, one more time. I'm gonna pick up some Prussian blue hue and medium and low. And loading by going back and forth. Now I'm going to touch a little bit of Titanium White on the side of medium yellow so that it will look bright on black people whenever the background is darker. Okay, I loaded my brush. Now. 5. Basic Strokes of Leaves and Flower : And now the first stroke is a Leaves stroke. So he can mark like an arrow mark facing downwards from sideway. I'm going to start from here. Just wiggle your brush like 123 and lean. Okay. Now I'm gonna come from top to bottom. I used the light white, yellow shade on top. Okay. So now I'm going to start from here. Yes, Come down 123, okay. So you can wiggle any number of time with the lighter side. I mean with the low side. I added this term. When you give minimum pressure, the stroke will be thin. When you give maximum pressure, the stroke will be thicker. So it all depends on how much pressure you are giving. One stroke is all about how much pressure you are giving and how you load your brush. You need to keep loading your brush often. Can now does a cane stroke. The same one, but I'm going to change the color inside out. So the CMB, the atom OK, facing downwards. Okay, so far the first thing I'm gonna use, the darker color outside here. Let's start from here. Just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and lean. Okay. Now I'm going to come from top to bottom. Now again, blue is on the outside. So with a thin stroke, give minimum pressure and vigor. Vigor. Okay. Now I'm going to add this term with the lighter side of me. This is called chisel edge, okay? So I use the lightest side, the tip of the lighter side to add the stem. So the next is stroke. I'm going to repeat the same stroke, but with a little difference in that. Kick, keep loading your brush so that your stroke will be perfect. Little touch of white on the side of the yellow. If you need to add water, you can touch a little bit of water with the tip of the brush. Not too much. Just this much. Okay. Again, load your brush by going back and forth. So now the next rule, the same leaf. It's all about how you play with the colors. The same V, I remark facing downwards. So for the first stroke I'm going to use this one. Okay? Yellow outside, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and lean. And for the second side, I'm going to use the colors inside out. So this one, I'm combining these two style. So now yellow is inside. I'm going to start from here with a thin line. Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger. You can wiggle any number of that. With the light side of the chisel edge. I added this ten. Okay, so the next stroke, the same way, I'm going to reverse the color. For the next Leaves stroke. I'm going to add this one and this side. Okay? So I'm gonna start from here. The same. They add a monk facing downwards, I mean sideway. So for the first stroke I'm going to use blue outside. So start from here. We go, 123 and lean. Keep loading your brush if needed, you can touch a little bit of water and again load it. Now on the second side, I'm gonna use blue inside and green, yellow outside with a thin line. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Like I told you, it's all about how you play with the colors and how much pressure you are given, and so on. Okay. So these are the same leaf, they used different styles, I mean, by playing with the colors. Okay? So the next leaf we're going to learn or something like this, okay, this one. So for this, what I'm gonna do is you can make a mark, something like this. And then my three times the size of the blisters. And now, let me load my palette. As they don't have enough paint. Killing me. Put some here. Okay, so now I'm going to load my brush again with the darker side, Prussian blue hue, lighter side with medium yellow. I'm gonna load it by going back and forth. And you can touch a little bit of white on the side of yellow. Again, loaded by going back and forth and more thing. If you need water you can touch a little bit. You can even drop or two to three drops over the side and then you can touch whenever you need. Okay? Okay. Now I'm going to start from here. So again, mark like a V. And I'm going to start from here. So just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. You can legally any number of time. This is called shell stroke. Okay? If you join my previous course, you'd have learned all these stuffs clearly. I'm going to connect from here, okay, I'm gonna start from here. Okay? Just continuing, wiggling my brush and dragging. So it's like adding a shell stroke. And on top of that, we added this kind of a stroke. Okay? Now I'm gonna again the shared stroke over here. So going to as shared stroke is nothing but you can make a V, okay? And, um, I can send a little bit about that V. Again, start from here. You can legally any number of time. And connecting all the three max, okay. I'm gonna stop them here so you can legally any number of time. Okay. And now I'm going to connect it from here. Just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle in, in a bit of time and lean. Okay? And we delight the side of the chisel edge again, this term. So we did this, right? We combine this shell stroke. And on top of that, we put this one, this Leaves stroke right? And again, it can be any number of times. It's up to you. So now I'm going to do the same leaf with this pattern, okay, for the first side, I'm going to use yellow on top. And for the second side I'm going to put yellow inside. Okay. Just keep loading your brush and loaded Kathleen. Little bit of white on the side of yellow and again loaded. Okay, now I'm gonna do the same kind of leaf. How we did the man do something like this. And three times the size of the Bristol, right? So I'm gonna stop him. He'll yellow should be outside for the first side. So I'm going to start, use your pinky as a support. I want to start from here, just 123, go up and come down. Okay? Now, I'm gonna connect it from here. Okay. Just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle any number of time. Okay. Now, on the opposite side, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna change the color inside out. Now. Yellow should be inside. I'm blue should be outside my leg V. Again, I want to start from here. Just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle any number of time. Keep loading your brush. And then I'm gonna connect it this way. And I'm going to use this yellow chisel side. And this ten submitted another type of leaf, the same kind of leaf, but by playing with the colors, we created this leaf. Okay? So the next two leaves stroke will be very easy if you learned the basic strokes from my previous course. So let's load up our brush. I feel my brushes dry. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to dip my roster with the tip of the brush. And then I'm gonna load again. Right? So now the next stroke will be very easy. Suggests smart like a slanting line. Use your pinky is a support. Press and release the pressure. Okay. This is a kind of leaf. Okay. More time I'm gonna do this one just like a slanting line. Press and release just like a wave. Okay. So when you give maximum pressure, you will get the broadest stroke. And when you release the pressure you will get a thinner stroke. And also to get a sharp tip, you have to lift your First sub-point up before you reach the finishing line. Okay? The next easy leaf stroke will be something like this by dabbing. Okay, we're going to dabble a brush. For this. You need to load more with white. And then just do this way. And now I'm going to dab my brush like this. Just by this way. It will give you a kind of coconut leaf effect, okay, it's going this way. And on the other side, something like this, and go this way. Okay, Now I'm going to connect it using the lighter side of the chisel edge, something like this. Okay, this is one of the easiest leaf and the most beautiful leaf. When you add this one to your floral composition that will really make your artwork pop up. The next two leaf. The next one is a filler stroke. You can call that as comma stroke. Okay? So for that you have to hold your brush this way directly against the people. So why does onto the light colors on top darker at the bottom, you see a pink as a support. Holes straight, push it towards you and release the pressure. Something like this. You can use this one as a daisy stroke. Again, call this one as a daisy stroke as well. The same way, I'm gonna do more than three or more than three together. Dislike I told you before. To get a thinner stroke, you have to lift your first, okay. When you reach the finishing line so that it will get a sharper tip. And also you need to release the pressure. So these are all the leaves strokes we're going to apply in our painting. And a few strokes like this for our flavor. And of course, we mess with this band. This is a grass leaf. So all you can do is just do the free stroke, just pull it away from you, okay, and that's it. You can either use the lighter color at the top. If you use lighter color at the top, you will get something like this. And if you use darker color at the top, you will get something like this, okay? For the lighter, brighter leaves you can use, the light color is affordable. For the darker tip. You can use the darker color at the a-z followed. Okay. Now, I'm gonna do some of the petals strokes so far that you can mark like a broader V and kind of parallel lines, so care for to make it easy for you. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to start from here. You can wiggle any number of time with random ups and downs. So whenever you reach those two parallel lines, you can go up and come down. Again, go up and come down. Okay. I'm going to repeat this one once again. My obligor, broader V. And the two parallel lines in between, just wiggle, want to go up, come down, one, smile, a shorter one. Again, go up, come down. Connected, okay, the next leaf. Keep loading your brush. The next stroke, vegan I use for the flavor will be. We can start with the tip of t. I'm in the light color, okay, sad with a thinner line. And show you a bit this way so that it will be easy for you to see that. Okay. I'm gonna start this way with a thin line. Just move of a bell. Just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Aniline. Okay. Sad with the white. Move above. I mean, move the lighter shade above. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, and reach the finishing line. These Chan with the lighter color and the end with the lighter colors. So this is another stroke. And instead of wiggling your brush, you can even simply do this way just with a thin line. Twist and lean, okay, It can either use this or this. The next one will be something like just normal wiggle, something like this, and change the color this way. And we just reverse this when we turn this upside down. Okay? So yeah, These are all the basic strokes you need to learn before you paint on canvas. Let's see whether the paint dries. It's already dried completely. So if you still see some white spots in your Canvas, add another layer of another layer using black. And again, let it dry and then you can paint on that. Okay. I'll see you in the next video. 6. Final Project: Painting Leaves : So here is a Canvas dried completely. Okay, so now let's wash our brush. Before that. Let's plays over. Okay, here is what we're going to paint a peony. I'm gonna make it like a kind of circle. Okay? So somewhere here, I'm using white pencil so that it will be visible for me. I hope you guys to see this when clearly. That's why I'm using my pencil. Now. Let's paint the leaves first and then come to the flower. Okay? So for the leaves, I'm going to use the same brush, which we use just before to do the basic strokes. And again, the same color combination I'm going to use. We already have Prussian blue hue in our palette. I'm going to take some medium middle and already have some white, but still, I wish to add more white on my palette. So like I told you, we need to load our brush like 1 third with the lighter shade to deal with the darker shade. Just loaded by going 123 and then come back one more time. So I'm going to touch a little bit of white on the side of yellow to make it a little brighter, a little more white. And again, touching little blue on the side of blue. The blue I'm using is Prussian blue hue. Okay. So now I'm going to start from here. Okay? So the first leaf I'm going to use to add the background leaves, I'm gonna use this one. Okay? So for the both the sides, I'm gonna apply. I mean, I'm going to use blue outside, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle any number of time and lean. Okay. Again on the other side, start with a thin line. Both the sides, the blue is outside. Okay? Load your brush again. And another leaf. Over here. You're painting doesn't need to be exactly same as mine, okay? So just play with the colors. The same kind of leaves, both the sides, Lewis outside, okay. And a leaf over the side. Keep loading your brush. So I'm going to add it over here. Yes. Bigger, bigger, bigger, and lean. And connected from top to bottom. The same way. Okay. You can always redo on top of that. I'm gonna use the lighter side of my brush and I'm connecting it with the leaf. And also here on the side, I'm gonna use the same leaf. Just keep loading your brush. So I'm going to add a leaf over here. Okay, The same day, Louis outside and connected from top to bottom. Okay. With this TIM. Okay, so now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to add a leaf like this one. Something like this. Okay, I'm going to paint a few leaves like this with both the sides. Okay, So I'm going to tell us a little bit of white on the side of yellow and loading a bit. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to add a leaf-like. Okay, so for the first side I'm going to use blue on top and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and lean. And for the second side, I'm going to change the color inside out. So now Eloise outside, Lewis inside. And I'm using the wiggle stroke, something like this. And connect it using the lighter side of the chisel edge. The same way I'm gonna use here, over here. Okay. So Louis, outside for the first leaf. I mean first the side of the leaf and yellow is outside for this side of the leaf. And now connected using the lighter side of the chisel edge. I'm going to add a few leaves over here. Same V. Just load your brush again. You have to load your brush often so that you will get the clean stroke. That's a little bit of white on the side of yellow and load it again. Now I'm going to add a leaf over here. Okay? So here's, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to use yellow on top for the first side. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and lean. For the second side, I'm going to change the color inside out. Now, L0 is inside, blue is outside. Okay? Now connected using the stem. Okay, we got something like this. So I'm going to add another leaf over here. Keep loading your brush. So I'm going to add a leaf over here. Okay. Suggests, I'm going to make this way. For the first side, I'm going to use blue outside, okay. Wiggle, wiggle and dieline. And for the second side, I changed the color inside out. Okay. So with a thin line, just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle healing. Okay. And with the yellow side, I'm adding the stem. Got it. If you've got something like this again, just pick up. Okay. Now I'm going to add a leaf over here, the side. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to use yellow on top for this leaf. I'm going to start from via just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and lean. And I'm gonna change the color inside out. Now, a Lewis inside. Again, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, and connect with the lighter side of the brush. I'm adding the stem. So I'm going to add one last leaf over here. Keep loading your brush. And again, I touched, firstly, I loaded with again yellow and Prussian blue hue, and then touched titanium white and again loading. Okay, so now I'm gonna add a leaf over here. Okay? So for the first leaf, I'm using yellow outside and lean. Coming from top to bottom. Just change the color inside out. The thin line, just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, and also you can connect it. So now UV use all the smaller leaves, okay, medium-size leaves. Now I'm going to use the heart shaped leaf, okay? This one and this one are one lead one. It's up to you. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna a little more, a little more white on the side of yellow. Other side the same view so that it will look more brighter comparing to the leaves in the background. So the first leaf, I'm gonna add over, over here on the right side, the same Vgs minus something like this. And we're going to paint three times the size of the bristles. So I'm going to start from here. It's okay if your stroke overlap the previous one, that will give us the 3D effect. I'm going to start from here. So the good, the good vigor and like a kind of shared stroke. And again, I'm going to continue that with some brand I'm absent down and lean. Okay. Now I'm going to connect it from top to bottom. Okay, though this way, the same way we learned from the previous session, suggests wiggle, wiggle, wiggle any number of time. Then connected to the Chop, Okay. Now with the lighter side of the chisel and connecting this the same way, I'm going to add few more reliefs. Another one over here. Like I told you, for this leaf, we gonna add more white comparing to the previous layer. Okay, I added a little more white so that it will be clearly visible. Okay, I'm gonna change the paper. I mean, the canvas inside out. Suggests this way. This way. This again 123, just wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. You have to give maximum pressure to get the broadest strokes. And just wiggle, wiggle and lean. And now I'm gonna do it in opposite directions. I'm going to start from here. So bigger, bigger, bigger, any number of time. Like I told you, you can always redo on top of your strokes. And with the lighter side just connected. I'm going to add another leaf over here, okay, On top of this. So I picked up more white comparing to the previous layer. So I'm going to stop them here. Okay? The leaf will be like this. It can either mark all the basic grids or you can simply paint if you are confident with that. Confident with how to paint the leaves, okay. The same V, opposite direction. Okay. They are done adding the bigger leaves, smaller leaves. Okay? So now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to add something like this when that coconut leaf kind of stuff. So for this, I'm gonna pick up blue and then more white. And I'm going to load this way. Okay, so now I'm gonna add the coconut leaf kind of stuff over here. So just dab, dab, dab like a curve. Leave some space in-between each dabs so that you can see the background. One. And that will make, make the leaf looks interesting instead of making them closer. Okay, so I'm gonna add the stem using the lighter side of my barista. Okay? I'm going to add another leaf over here. You can add any number of leaves like that. Or even you can make the curvy line first and then add those dab. The same V opposite side. Just tab it. The same way. I'm going to add another one over here. Wrongly took the color. Okay, so I'm gonna add one more here. We're going to start from here. It's like a line, okay? Okay. Suggests dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab. When it reach the peak, it should be like thin line work here we are going broader to shoulder like a kind of triangle shape. Again, just dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab, dab. Okay. So we did this. The next stroke, we can add or those kind of grassy effect. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to start from here, okay? But I want to get the lighter shade. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to start with the lighter side. So just sat here and free stroke, okay? Some random strokes like this. Okay? See how beautiful this looks. The same day here. Just some random grassy strokes. And then again over here suggests some random with some random size. Some are shots, I'm a lengthier. Okay? Now we completed the background. Now let's add the peony. So I'm going to wash my brush first. 7. Final project: Velvet peony : Okay. Firstly, with the dirty water going back and forth, and then with the clean water. So the colors, I'm going to use our violet, rose red, and titanium white. Okay. These three are the colors we're going to use for the peony. Okay? Now I'm going to pick up some violet to turn off the darker shade. And 1 third of the lighter shade roaster, the slider here, while it is darker here. And I'm going to load my brush this way. They're going back-and-forth. On more time. Pick up some rose, red and violet, and do the flap. And on the side of light color here, rose red. I'm going to pick up some white so that it will be visible when the paint on black people. Black, darker background. Okay, so here I loaded my brush more than half. Now I'm going to paint the petals. First two videos over here. I'm going to saturate viewers. Okay? I'm gonna start from here and end it over here. So from here, just want to go up, come down again, go up and come down. We can always redo on top of that until we are satisfied with the result. I'm going to start again. Just bigger, bigger with random. I've sent down one more time. Whenever you paint on canvas or fabric, you have to redo on top of that. The background is fully covered. Now I'm pulling the darker color at the bottom so that it will dry faster. And also it will give the depth like the petals are going inside. Okay, So the next one, I'm going to paint over here, a puddle over here. I'm going to start from here. And ended over here with such a broader petals. So I'm gonna start from here. The same, the vigor with some random I've seen down. And keep loading your brush and keep doing on top of that until you cover the background completely up here. So on last time, on top of that, again, I'm pulling the colors in words. Okay? So two petals on the right side. Now I'm going to paint three bidders around here, okay, the same color combination. Okay? So I'm gonna start from here. Okay? It's okay. I just, I made this perpendicular. So directly opposite to these two petals. I'm going to add one here. When I start from here and ended over here. Just with random obscene down. Again, I'm loading my brush again, doing on top of that until the background covered. Okay. The next one over here, I'm going to paint. Okay, I'm going to paint over here. So starting, I'm going to start from here and end it over here. So somewhere from here, just with random obscene down. To get a better understanding, just keep watching the same course again and again. Okay. So the next opposite to this one, I'm going to paint. Just keep loading your brush again and again. Okay, So I'm gonna statue here. And indeed over here with some random ups and down. Again. More time just with random, I've seen done, okay. Yes, they fail to pull the colors in words, right? So just pull the colors inwards. Okay? Now I'm going to add few more petals over here. This one, I'm going to load one side with violet and the other side with white. And I'm going to load it this way. The site of violet, I'm going to pick up some draw straight on the darker colors side. Okay? Now I'm going to add a petal over here, okay? Okay, I'm gonna stop them here. Indeed over here, okay. I'm here again with random ups and downs. Keep loading your brush again. I'm going to load it. I mean, redo on top of that. Okay? And just pull the color inputs. Right? Now I'm going to add another petal over here. You can even extend this one little bit more. Okay? Now I'm going to add one more better over here and touch a little bit of water if needed. So I'm going to add a last video over here to here, okay. Staffing via any number of time with random. I've sent down just redo on top of that and pull the colors inputs. Okay, this is how it will look so far. Okay? Now I'm going to wash my brush with the dirty water first and then. With the clean water. So now I'm gonna use my fine, fine tip round brush. When I use my fine tip brush. And the colors, I'm going to use our burnt umber, yellow ocher to add the details to the center portion of the flavor. I'm going to pick up some burnt umber. And it looks good. Okay. And now I'm going to load it with yellow ocher first. Okay. Then with I mean, sorry, first with burnt umber and then touch the tip with yellow ocher. Now, I'm gonna make the strokes like this one. I'll show you a bit. Something like this with a thin line and press, Okay, Justin line and press something like this. I'm gonna do it over here. So it gets mad. Okay, something somewhere over here. Okay, This part, I'm going to start from here with the thin stroke and press. Thin stroke and press Okay, from left to right. And then from right to left. Like a curvy stroke. Okay. Okay. Something like this. From coming from outside to inside. Okay. Now I'm going to add few more strokes to fill the center. This time, I'm going to pick up yellow ocher. Again alone and then again, the same kind of stroke. Just to further space. Now I'm going to load my brush with white alone. Okay? I haven't washed my brush to add the highlighted effect. Okay. Some going outside on both the sides. Okay. Then with this, now I'm going to wash my brush. Okay. It's like a little flower is facing this way. Now I'm going to use my half inch flat brush.

We have learned a lot of things in this course from how to do the basic leaves strokes to pedal strokes, and how to block the background. And by using easier tricks and tips to create leaves and everything in detail. After learning the basic strokes, we started of a final project. Firstly, we painted some of the leaves, different leaves we have painted, and we decrease the leaves by adding fillers and so on. The grass is kind of stuff. Everything in the middle of those leaves we painted over the peony. So if you learn the basic strokes by using the tips and tricks I shared with you, you can definitely feel very easier to paint this beautiful project. Once you've completed this painting, please do share your work in our skill share class project. So happy painting guys.
