3. Magic of Toned Paper: Now you may be wondering why
we're using a toned paper instead of the traditional
White watercolor paper for wildflower paintings. Let me share with you
the exciting benefits and advantages of
painting on toned paper. First and foremost, toned
paper helps us eliminate the fear of starting on
a blank white canvas. Sometimes that
pristine white surface can feel intimidating, making it challenging to get started by painting
on toned paper, we instantly have a
colored background. Adds theft and I've
mentioned are artwork. It gives us a head start
and allows us to dive right into the creative
process without hesitation. Another advantage of
toned papers that it adds a unique atmosphere and
mood to our paintings. The subtle color of the paper interacts with the
transparent watercolors, creating a harmonious blend that enhances the overall
aesthetic of our Wildflowers. It also adds an element
of richness and warmed, elevating our artwork
to a new level. Additionally, painting
on toned paper provides a wonderful
contrast for colors. The vibrant and
translucent nature of watercolors pops beautifully against a
colored background, creating a visually
stunning effects. It allows us to play
with light shadows and highlights in a way that brings our wildflower
still-life. Lastly, toned paper offers as a different
perspective and opens up new creative possibilities. It encourages us to think
outside the box and experiment with unconventional
color combinations. It challenges us

in a way that is both exciting and rewarding. Now that they understand advantages of painting
on toned paper, Let's move on to color
mixing and adding magic dark colors
using White Paint
4. Color Mixing & White Paint: Now that we have,
are materials ready, let's dive into
the world of color mixing in the use
of White Paint. Understanding how to mix colors and strategically
use white paint will greatly enhance
their vibrancy and depth of our
watercolor wildflowers. Don't worry if you have
different brand of watercolors. The techniques we'll cover
can be applied universally. Let's explore the
primary colors, red, blue, and yellow. Blending them, create
secondary colors like green, purple, and orange. Red and blue mix purple, red and yellow mix orange, yellow and blue mix green. However, if you have readymade secondary colors
in your palette, you may also simply use them. Now, let's explore another
technique to achieve subtle variations in
you and intensity. In addition to mixing
the primary colors, we can also adjust the ratios of another color to create
beautiful and new ones effects. When incorporating a complimentary color
into our mixtures, we can create interesting
contrast and enhance the visual impact
of our Flowers. Complimentary colors are located opposite each other
on the color wheel. For example, if we have
green tone in our palette, we can introduce
a touch of red to create depth and vibrancy. By adding just a hint of
the complimentary color, we can create subtle shifts
in you and intensity. This technique allows us
to infuse or Wildflowers with the dynamic interplay
of warm and cool tones, giving them a sense of
depth and dimension. Take a moment, experiment and play with this
color combinations. Robert brushes mix
a small amount of the complimentary
color in Interior Design, View and observe how it transforms the character of
your watercolor mixture. You'll be amazed at the
range of effects you can achieve by simply
adjusting their ratios. Since we're painting
on toned paper, which has a lighter weight
compared to watercolor paper, it is best to keep your
watercolor consistency creamy and thick with
less water in the mix. Remember, there's no right
or wrong way to mix colors. It's all about
exploring and finding the combinations that resonate
with your artistic vision. So don't hesitate to
let your creativity run wild and experiment with different ratios
and color pharynx. But what sets our Wildflower is a part and adds that extra touch of magic is the Use of
Titanium White Paint. These opaque paint allows
us to add highlights, depth, and luminosity
to our artwork. It acts as a secret weapon, elevating our
paintings and making the Flowers truly
pop on toned paper. For example, when
painting Daffodils and aiming for that
vibrant yellow hue, we can take a unique approach to elevate now color and make
it truly captivating. Instead of using
plain lemon yellow, which is transparent
and can sometimes appear a bit diluted
on the Toned Paper, will add a touch of
white to the mix. This simple addition of
Titanium White Paint will transform our yellow into
something extraordinary. By incorporating White
indoor yellow mixture, we create a slightly
opaque enrich color that beautifully captures
the essence of Daffodils. The addition of white adds a softness and luminosity that brings our flowers to life, making them appear more
vibrant in three-dimensional
5. Loose Flowy Brushstroke: Now let's dive into
the exciting world of loose and flowy brushstrokes. This is where the magic
happens as we bring our Wildflower is to live
with grace and fluidity. In this section, I'll
guide you through that techniques using a round brush and the script liner brush, enabling you to create
stunning watercolor. Wildflower is dance
and sway on paper. First, let's explore
the script liner brush. This lender brush with its fine pointed tip is
perfect for creating those Graceful flowing lines that bring our organic strokes. Dip the brush into the paint, ensuring it's nicely
saturated but not overloaded. Lightly erase the tip of the
brush on the paper and with a steady hand guided
in sweeping motions, let the brush glide
across the surface, scraping elegant
stems and twigs. Next, using the same brush, Let's paint tiny leaves. But this group liner brush
loaded with a green color, hold the brush near the end of the handle to allow
for more control. Apply gentle pressure on
the brush and you stick shaker strokes to create
small leaf shapes. This tiny leaves
will add a sense of realism and death through
your wildflower composition. Don't worry about precision. The slight variations
in size and shape will add to the natural
charm of your artwork. Now, let's do long
slender leaves. To achieve this effect will apply more pressure
on the brush. Loaded brush with a green shade. And as you paint,
press down slightly on the bristles to
create a thicker stroke. Begin at the base of the
leaf and gradually lift the pressure as you
move towards the tip, allowing the stroke
to taper off, begin at the base of the
leaf and graduate and lift the pressure as you
move towards the tip, allowing the stroke
to taper off. This technique will
give your leaves a Graceful and
elongated appearance, capturing their elegant nature. Remember the script liner brush allows for a great deal
of control and precision. Take your time and
just the pressure and angle up your brush and observe how it influenced the shape and texture
of the leaves. Don't be afraid to experiment
and find your unique style. Now, let's explore
the versatility of a round brush and
discover how we can use it to paint various elements in our
watercolor wildflower paintings. They're round brushes, a
fantastic tool for creating big, bold leaves and
delicate small petals. To begin, let's focus on painting leaves using
the round brush. Load your brush with
a green color with a single confident
strokes with the brush across the paper to create
a large leaf shape. There, round brushes, bristles, and shape allow you
to easily control the width and thickness
of the strokes. Experiment with the pressure applied to the
brush and the angle of your hand to create different leaf
shapes and textures. Remember it, embrace
the natural flow of the brush and let it
guide your movement, allowing for beautiful
organic leaf forms. Next, let's move on to
painting small petals. Load your round
brush with paint, instead of using a single stroke like we did for the big leaves, will apply a bit of pressure on the brush to create
a pressing motion. Press the brush gently
onto the paper, allowing the bristles
to splay out and create the shape
of a small petal. Repeat this pressing
motion to practice creating petals in
varying form and size. The round brush, rounded shape
is perfect for mimicking the soft curved edges of petal and achieving a natural
organic loop there. Round brush is a versatile
tool that allows you to create a range of
brush strokes and shapes. Play around with the pressure, angle and rotation of the brush to discover unique strokes
6. Finding Inspiration: Book Recommendation: Now that we've explored
the Brushstrokes for expresssive
watercolor wildflowers. Let's talk about finding
inspiration and selecting references for future projects. Inspiration can be found
everywhere around us and it's important to keep
our Creative well full. One great way to find
Inspiration is true books. I highly recommend a few
titles that have been my personal favorites
and that provided me with a wealth of
wildflower references. Let me briefly introduce each of these fantastic resources. Spot 50 Wildflowers. This delightful book is

7. Project 1: Fresh Cornflowers: Let's start our
first-class project with simple and
Delicate Cornflowers. This project we'll
focus on creating soft, tiny petal like strokes and capturing the essence
of a blooming flower. Using my script liner brush, I start mixing my
green color for the stems by Mixing
me Green, perylene, green, and carmine, starting
at the bottom and make a fluid upward stroke to mimic
an impression of the stem. Notice that I tried to
make a shaky stroke rather than a straight
and perfect looking one. As it won't look realistic. I hold my brush midway of the
handle and try not to put much pressure as omega stroke
to keep the lines thin. Remember to make them mixed
creamy with less water in it. So you want create a puddle of water as you make a stroke. Since we are painting
on toned paper, which has lesser weight than watercolor paper or
paints consistency should be encouraged you to mix your own green using
the beans in your palette. You don't have to get the
exact colors that are used. I want you to take this time to enjoy discovering new shades of colors by mixing the
colors in your own palette. Here, I'm painting
some more stems, varying the length and form. Next, using me green with a little bit of leftover
white in my palette. I've been the base of the flower with some
Jackins strokes. I continue painting the
center using perylene violet. Now the Fun part, Let's paint the Tufte's
good flower heads with bluish purple paint. See how I do quick downward strokes to build the general shape of the flower. And move on to the next flower. I paint once more the
base of it with green. This time let's paint
all the green portions first so we don't have to
switch beans from time-to-time. Now, let's paint the petals would playful dabbing strokes. Since we are aiming to capture
the essence of the flower, pay close attention not on
the details of each petal, but on the general shape
of the whole flower. It is like painting the
silhouette of the flower. With that in mind, we don't get lost on the details and
complexity of the petals and we can be creative and how
we play with the strokes or angle of the brush to
portray the image. One word there, it
is nice to paint the flowers in
varying directions are angles to make the overall
painting more natural. He wanted to see more
flowers in full bloom, some inside angle and
even other's body. If you feel that some
areas look empty, tried to look at your work
from a distance before adding another flower to
make sure you won't lose the balance in
the composition. Since we are painting
on the toned paper, we already have the mid tones, meaning we can just focus on Painting with dark
and light tones. So there's really no need
to worry if the painting will look too plain
and simple on paper. To finish the painting, Let's add those growing
leaves up this sense, using the round brush. I hope pain does narrow relief on the side
with few strokes. Let's add some
finishing touches of tiny leaves to make
this Stems folder. As highlight. Let's dab
some white paint in the center to add the light
tones in the flowers. Lastly, I also doubled highlights
a violet in some areas. This is our final painting. I'm excited to see your
frisk Class Project. So take a nice photo of it and share it in the class
project section
8. Project 2: Dainty Daffodils: For the second project, we'll explore a more vibrant
and dynamic composition. Painting Dainty Daffodils. You learn to paint
its own unique shape and color and how to create the sense of movement using
a separate mixing palette. I take lemon yellow
mixed with white and a bit of orange to create a
creamy yellow orange you, I started with the
center on the flower by lightly dabbing my round brush. Then I load my brush
with more paint, adding a few white in the
mix to paint the body. I'm making adjustments
in the center to define the general
shape a bit more. Now it, the more lemon yellow
and paint the petals still using my round brush with
small pressing strokes. I changed the US lightly
by adding more white into my mix to make
the petals pop more. I vary the angle of
my brush to create different petals as
much as possible. Avoid making each
petal look uniform. Next, I paint the stems
starting from the Flower, going down with a
gentle strokes. I add a few slender strokes
for the leaves and see how creamy my paint is making it look very strong
and eye-catching. I also paint some leaves with a lightened tone by adding
more white to degree in mix links and loved their yellow orange color
to paint another daffodil, I still use lemon, yellow, orange, and white for this. Starting in the
middle of the flower, I paint dabbing strokes with
my round brush and then pull the paint downwards
to paint the body. Next I shift to
opaque yellow you, and paint the petals. You can achieve
this vibrant stroke if your brush has
little water in it. If you see the paint
looks quite transparent, I suggest creating another mix with smaller amount of
water and creamy or paint. Let's finish off the painting by adding few slender leaves, some tiny ones around the stamps and left knee
highlight of yellow, orange in the center
of the flower. This is our daffodil Painting. They'll forget to upload this class project by simply adding an image on your
previous project Upload. See you in the next lesson.
9. Project 3: Whimsical Chamomile: Get ready to bring out
your playful side. On our third class project, we'll paint a
Whimsical Chamomile. Exploring how to paint this cheerful blooms with Loose
and Flowing Brushstrokes. You learn techniques to infusing your artwork with a sense
of joy and spontaneity. Let's start preparing the yellow been for the center
of the flowers. I get the saturated mix of lemon yellow and they didn't
mix it with white. I paint some half circle
shapes random mean the paper. Using my round brush. I positioned them in
different levels and spacing. Next I take white paint and add a hint of violet to my mix. Using a script liner brush, I do some quick zigzag strokes following the general
shape of a Chamomile. Paint petals around
the orange center. Keeping in mind
that the petals in the middle part should be a little shorter and then Doors and the sites to
show perspective. I tried to create
different impressions of Chamomile spent painting, so I'm facing sideways, others facing upwards, cheddar. Next I create another one, but this time the mix has more
violent than white in it. A nice way to create
contrast is to create a painting that has
complimentary colors around it. Example, orange and purple. Small hints of Orange makeup, perfect contrast to
purple flowers giving your artwork balance in
cool and warm tones. Next, I shift the
script liner brush and thicker thick green
color to paint the stems. I make sure to load
the brush fully so it can glide on the
paper gracefully. I also sell them mix white
on my greens for the stem, since I don't want
the stem to be two dominant in the image. I do shake his strokes to paint the stems to add
playfulness and read them. The more you let go of control and become less
particular to details, the more playful and relax
the overall painting will be. I add a few details and
fillers like tiny leaves, some random green
dots of paint and jagged strokes to paint
varus, leaf shapes. Some details or even
random dabbing of brush. It's all about playing with your brush and
enjoying the moment. We can stop from here and
there painting is complete. I'm excited to hear both your experience painting
this Chamomile. So please let me know. In the project section, I hope you enjoy them
10. Project 4: Sweet Anemones : For class project, we'll tackle the timeless beauty of Anemones. Will understand how to depict
the delicate petals and create a sense of movement
using a round brush. You'll also learn how to
enhance the composition by adding playful impressions
of March violence, resulting in captivating
floral artwork. I started preparing the color for the center of the flower. Instead of copying the one in
the image which is yellow, I'll use neutral tint mixed with perylene violet for dark
purplish red shade. For it. I paint some small depths
of paints clustered together in the left
side part of the paper. Next, I think we're
round brush and get a nice thick and
creamy white paint. I paint the petals with
a pressing stroke. I tried to paint around
the cluster dots and keeping the strokes
very quick and confident. I vary the direction
and angle of petals as I go around the dots to make
them look more organic. I add some more
wiped a name we'll nice here in the water area. And notice that they're a little smaller than our
main focal point. Next, let's add some small
marsh violet flowers around to connect all these
WIP anyone needs together. I plead them randomly. And so keeping in mind that
they should not look uniform, we want a greater sense of
flow in the composition. So try not to put equal
weight on all areas. One side has to be heavier than gradually getting lighter
towards one direction. I think my round brush again
to paint large leaves. I get dark green color. To leave a nice contrast among the white flowers in
between Wildflower is I also dab green paint to
separate the two white flowers. Next, I paint the stems
with the script brush. It's okay if the strokes
are quite broken, it's actually better than
painting a continuous line. I also use the script
brush to create impressions of leaves
very pressing the brush. Now to add movement in
Greece or composition, Let's add this extension
of tiny flowers. Doors there. Write
in some dots of white beans around the area
to unite all colors together. I add few accent of the same color you use for
the center of the flower. Next, I also add highlights by painting some white
strokes here and there. This is a step where
we add few strokes will complete or enhance
the home position. Stop before you feel
your painting is complete to avoid overdoing it. These are anemone painting. We're halfway through and I
look forward to seeing your for artworks in the
project gallery.
11. Project 5: Delicate Thistles : Let's venture into the
world of exotic Thistles. For project, Let's venture into the world of
exotic Thistles. This fascinating blooms offer fantastic opportunity to explore vibrant colors and
intricate patterns. We'll delve into
the unique shapes and textures of this flower. Discovering how to achieve an impressionist representation
with watercolor. I started by creating green mix for the
base of the T-cell. I take my green and a bit of
perylene, violet and White. I wanted the muted
greenish gray color for this part of the T-cell. Using quick upward
strokes with the bottom, methane in one point, let's paint the
base of the flower. I've been feeling this
shape around the paper, then paint the stem. I hold the brush a little further back for
a lesser control, resulting two more fluid stroke. Next, I think
perylene violet and White to create gorgeous
being violet shade. I repeat the same upward stroke to build the shape
of the T-cell. I make sure that the
consistency of paint that I use for the flower and it's
bees are the same. So they have the
same tonal value. Now let's paint some
spiky leaves around. No, forget to vary the
shape, length, and size. It doesn't have to be perfect. If you want to paint loose, the strokes have to
be Loose, not rigid. Let's add dynamics to the
picture by introducing a new color flower or
full bloomed Thistles. I paint some yellows mix with
the white around the area. I paint them randomly placing
others in-between stems. Next, I get another pink
color with slightly lighter you to paint
this Thistles. Enjoyed the process
of painting petals. It is very therapeutic. There are strokes that
you want to take slowly, or some that need speed to
show movement and dynamic. Either way, be spontaneous
and do not over it thing For me, the secret of
painting with Expression in Greece is to let your
hand flow as you please. Each Brushstroke, hold back and let her emotion and
intuition guide you. If you do this,
you're flowers won't look uniforms and boring. They will evoke a sense
of joy and celebration. As you watch me add stems, leaves, and other fillers, I actually try not to overthink
and let my hand leave very impressive marks as I do. So a stick to my
palette and play with different shades of pink
and purple for harmony. I tried to create different
shapes using the brush, even without actually knowing what particular Live is that. You'll be surprised how an impressive and expresssive
flowing stroke can actually contribute to making the painting complete
and beautiful. Let the main flowers will
be the main character in the leaves at the background remain a supporting characters. I'll complete the Painting

colors together. Or painting is now complete. I'd love to see

12. Project 6: Graceful Poppies : Welcome clear there Dreamy with the majestic white
and orange Poppies, a true symbol of
vibrancy and warm. You learn how to paint
this both Flowers capturing the unique structure. I take a good amount
of yellow paint, mix it with white to paint a cluster dots in the
center of the Poppies. Paint to off this first so I can estimate the size of
the entire flower. A thick white bean. Still with my round brush
to paint the white petals. I make big bold petals by pressing my brush
towards the center. I paint the petals and circular direction around the center, making the petal closest
to us a little sideways. To portray dimension. I add green dots in the
middle as highlights. I make them that there's flower. The flower big enough
that it was like a bunch of flowers
rather than separated. Next, I think orange, a bit of yellow and white for the orange Poppies
color with the stroke. And they feel I want
to add few more yellow and a data thread. Two, a nice warm orange color. I beat an orange flower here in the lower side and made it
smaller than the white ones. I add another orange puppy
here in the right side. But this time the flower is a bit flows and facing, underwrite the white and orange Poppies. I put some orange box
around the white one. Next, let's add the stems. Stems dance how Poppies do. Meet curvy strokes are
portrayed the movement, life. This real, hesitant
looks soft and jagged like the other
projects that we did. Now let's paint some leaves
using the script, brush. Make markings that copy the
impression of the leaves. No need to make it look
100% accurate though. No, I'm adding some leaf
buds are on the stem, some fillers and that's of green to contour
each White puppy. I think white with
a hint of yellow to paint few more Poppies to
enhance the home position. That's of paint here and
there as fillers do. As a highlight it please. Dots of green paint in the
center of the Poppies. Painting is now done. So glad to have you this far. I'm really excited to your gallery of
Wildflowers paintings. As we close, it summarized
the class in the next video.
