Transcripts

1. Welcome : Hello and welcome to this class. My name is Hy-Vee, and today I will be going guiding you through the whole process of creating four different Christmas cards with four different motifs. We are going to be working together from the beginning to the, to the end, creating the color charts, chosen the perfect Christmas colors, doing the sketches, and then inking the pieces in the final touch, we'll be adding the water colors. If you already know Christmas anymore, then join me in this class. Let's start creating event Callaway. See you in the next video. 2. Resources and Supplies: I am so glad to have to in this class. Welcome. And you can download all the sketches we are going to be working on on this glass on the electricity sources for this class. Check out the resources for this class. Underneath the BPO. And on every one of the motif we are working on at the beginning of every class, I am. I will be sharing with you all the supplies do you need in explaining you how we proceed? So exciting and I hope you are too. Lets us create leaving Callaway. See you in the next video. 3. Christmas Bauble Card Supplies: Let's take a look at this. Blessed we are going to be using in this class. We, I have here two branches in two different sizes. I have my flat brush and my bamboo stick to Masons pleasures. I have my Ben to make the sketches and you can see here the watercolor chart. But we're going to do this together, iron. So I'm using watercolor paper in the size of our postcard. I have also my Neil's watercolors. You can use whatever watercolor do have. I choose this one because it's very bright and I went up very sparkly bright pink, neon. Baba. And I have two different inks, waterproof ink to make the outlining in a little pond to mix my gold more ink. In this case, you can use a watercolor gold or gel pens. Now, let's activate the watercolor, adding a little bit of water. Remember if you're using another type of watercolor, then proceed as you wish. We are going to use the technique, wet on wet. I am wetting the paper to add the color afterwards. Then at the color, this is the color chart. This is very useful when we want to get used to the watercolor that we are using. And I recommend to do this before everyone of your paintings. So you can see the behavior of your water color in the color that you want to get on the paper. Or under painting. In here you, we, you are going to be deciding what color intensity. And if you were more intensity, you add less water. And if you were less intensity, then you are more water. So I will let this dry and when we, I will see you in the next video. 4. Christmas Bauble Card: Now it's time to start sketching or Christmas bubble. And remember, you can download the free resources I left you in the resources for this class. So I will be using my pencil first to sketch the bubble. And we can do this together or you can do it beforehand. And then we are going to be outlining it with the water proof ink, pencils, pens that we saw in and the materials or supplies for this class. I will spit out a little bit this part of the BGR. So I will see you in the inking part. Now we can start inking or escaped. I am using a CDO 0.5 ink, waterproof ink, the membrane, it is very important as waterproof, so it doesn't mix with your watercolor when you are painting it is. I will start with the outline. You can do the same as I am doing and you're going to use a bigger, deep if you prefer, or a smaller one. This process is very easy. If you did the sketch, then to just need to follow the lines, we are going to outline only this, the Bible itself. And then we're proceeding to paint the background. I already started here and we are using the technique wet on wet again because I want the background to be very light in pink. Then I will add some shadows, but I will read explained in you when we're, at that point. If you are not familiar with the technique or techniques of watercolor Zukin, check my other classes where I explain it very step-by-step. So you can be more familiar with the process and make sure you'd or own uses of this marvelous technique. Or dangerous. I've been watering watercolor and are little bit more of pigment on the wet part of my paper. Make sure you are using good-quality watercolor paper. I will let you do all the detail for the splice britain on their discretion for this class. So don't worry, just read the specifications on and on the discussion page for this class. And then you will find everything, even the dimension of the paper that I am using here that is equal to a postcard. And saw, which is a very nice size for a card IN adding zone lethal doses of being alone. To make a little bit like a shadow on the size of them, a wobble. So you can decide whichever side you want to read more darker with some points that reflects like the shadow. Ion iron deciding to make it more literary moral splashes of Diver pink on the left side. Okay, let's start painting or bubble in for this week. First, adding the darkest pigment on the middle of the bubble using the technique wet on dry paper is completely dry here, and I am picking the most pigment color of this watercolor has to consider. I am making this line in the middle of my bobbin. And then we can start by including this color to the size of the bubble. We just water. Don't apply more color here. Yours water. Pick up the color, clean your brush if you need it, you've have too much pigment in your brush, then just clean it up more water and just pull up the color to the sizes. And as you can see, or maybe you cannot. But in the sketch you can see that that is a little space around the space. And this is very important to keep it in white, no colon on the sides, because this will make the reflects off the light. Like the Bible is shining because the light is shining on the barbell. Keep just driving the color from the middle to the side. Very slowly, very, very slowly. And if you think your knees a little bit more of pigment and just speak a little bit of pigment and put it on the spaces. Do think it make the perfect contrast to see the light shining on the book on more water, if you prefer. Remember watercolors when dry, the color can be different and not so bright. So keep your eyes on the end. How do watercolor react? If is a very high-quality watercolors and the color will stay almost the same. But if not, then you will need to add more layers or more. You will need to pay did more. Now you need to pick up a little bit of color and start adding on, on the bottom of the bubble and on the right side of the bubble. Look what I am doing here. I urge us all with the tip of the brush. I am adding the lines. We, I am adding a very gentle caress from the brush on the paper. And when it dries, you will see the nice effect it causes is like a dislike of the will relate. Water is a splashes on the, on the bottle and eat. Look very nice. Now it's time to let this dry. Let's talk about gold. We have different type of goal that we can use on this paint. Don't hesitate to use whatever you have. I have here watercolor in gold. I have the angle that this is one word I'm using because this is where the proof I have a metallic gold pen and a jelly pen. So please, if you don't have the same ink as I am using in the next class, then use whatever you have at home or even a jailer. Watercolor is perfect. I will be using my finest brushes from the two IV for this class. And this is a number 2 round brush. And I will paint the little top of the bubble. And I want this to be a little bit thick, so I will, I won't, I won't be diluting my gold here. And when I am finished with this, I will just trace the thread. The thread that is a holding the bobbin. If you have a steady hand and do it as I am doing here. But if not just a wait until the top of the bubble is dry in place a ruler and trace the line. So it's time to let this. This is already looking fabulous. Now I will add some splashes to make it pop in. The technique is very, very easy. I will wet my brush in clean water, and then I will pick up gold from my ink. And this will be ready to splash using the bamboo stick. You can use another technique, but this technique is perfect for me because it doesn't get so messy on my workplace. So I love it. And the splashes, I can control this blushes where I want to put them. Less. China. This one. When I am finished with the splashes, then I will let this completely dry because we are going to bright a little a message on the bottom of this, a Christmas card. And for that I will reducing a CDO 0.3 is verifying deep, too bright best wishes. You can use whatever or the message, or even your gun bright, the name of the person, or Merry Christmas, happy holidays, ditches wherever Mrs. Duke want to do right here. The important is to convey best wishes and you're hoping for the person you are given this character. Or God is looking amazing on the bag that do come right to home or from is this card and M brighter lethal message for the person or the family you are giving a gift card to. I really like how these Vibram Christmas Bob will look like. And this will be a perfect gift for a color shoes for a person. If you know what color the person's like, then you can choose that, that berry color. And I think they will be very pleased. I love pink. So I choose this pink because the person I am giving this to also love pink. I can wait to see what color did you choose for this Christmas bubbled car when you are ready bread in the message thing, we can see how we can use this car. You can place it on the gift given to the person. But you can also send it per post and make the envelope barely beautiful, taking the details to make it shine. So I hope you liked this class and I will see you in the next video. 5. Christmas Tree Card Supplies: Let's see all the supplies that we are going to be using during this class for to create a during Christmas tree car. First, I have my watercolor and I didn't radial sketch. Here is the palette that we are going to be using, painting and the three, and make it like a mix of colors. I have two different ink pens, what the proof inks pens into different sizes. And my little bottle with water to activate the color, we are going to be using gold. You can use gold ink or wherever gold do you have rushes into different sizes. Have a clean towel and clean water at high fields we're going to be making the color chart. Shall we? Let's activate all the watercolors and I, when we using different type of color here. As you can see, blue tail or turquoise, pink or red, jello and brown. And I will be using the technique wet on dry. Adding more water or less water. If I want to intensify or dilute the color, I will just be that a little bit the process. And do gun do it at your own pace, please. Don't do it so fast. This behavior is doing. That is just the magic of time. I NGOs making the watercolor chart. Now that my watercolor Chinese lady, Let's begin with or grease mastery card. See you in the next video. 6. Christmas Tree Card Part 1: This is how or Christmas tree he will be looking like in just a minute. Does remember to download the sketch. Ns, good, as your Christmas tree, as I did here already. And now we're going to start painting the outlining with or waterproof inks. And then when we add in the colors, as I will be explaining you a step by step, fears. We are going to be tracing the lines and then we are going to be deciding how to use all colored palette in this beautiful tree. Let's begin. I am using my serious 0.05. This is a very fine, fine liner waterproof ink. And I want to do this first and afterwards when we add the watercolor, we can use another type, another deep of a pink ink to make the Quraysh the corrections. I may be we'll be using a bigger deep. I will be sharing that with you as we go forward on this paint. Just trace the line very slowly. So you aligns, look steady and bedding cohesive. And you enjoy the process does is the most important part. I always like to think on the person IN given discard too. So I infuse my doing, my art, my guard in this case with the bears, by possible, you can do the same. Think of the person or port music that inspires you, that makes you think and start painting or, or just paint in silence. I like to paint inside the cells as well. Now I will speed up a little bit the speed the process, but please take your time, do it as conscious and us and judge LOL asked you, can don't draw, you don't need to rush. It's just a matter of making this easier for you to follow the composter video and then come back if you need some time. I will retained in my fine liner, I am using a bigger tip to paint the part of the Christmas. As always, I want to remind you that lead to creativity flows. This is just the idea that I am chatting with you, but you can use another shape, for example, for the pot. Just don't hesitate and don't hold back on your creativity. Now that they are finished or the outlining, Let's start painting the Christmas tree. And for this, I will be using that technique, wet on wet. I am taking water with my clean brush and adding water on the inside of my Christmas tree. As you can see, I will repeat this process on the whole tree and the inside of the tree. And then we are going to be adding the color one by one. The idea that I have for this Christmas is to make it like a galaxy type of a sky Christmas with the palette that I am sharing with you, starting with the blue, this is say, Prussian blue. I will be adding in letting zone spacing in white to add the other colored wishes tail. And as you can see, when the paper is wet, the color becomes, becomes a little diluted. And Estelle, to make the magic mixing with the other color does is already on the paper. Play with the intensity of their water color. Adding more water, or begin up more color. Adding some point, and then moving in with the water through the painting. So you get a more cohesive interaction of these two colors. And keep it off on the upper side of geometry for this part. Because we need the space for the other two colors that we will be adding a next. And we want this dark color to mix Astroworld with the whole painting as, as we did in the color chart. Next color we are adding is the jello. And using the technique wet on wet, but using a pigment that jello try to not deal diluted the yellow because it becomes very, very light. And the last color that we went to other to them. Painting is the red. So the more intense, but from this painting will be the bottom of the Christmas tree. As you can see, the color is very bright and very pigment and bedding dense. So you may or may not use more water to dilute or to get them to dance on the paper, the jello and the, and the rest, the lab. But you can decide whatever intensity Do you want to see on your paper. Remember, the lights, the little lights. We are going to use gold for those. And we are going to be using also the black inks to retrace the lines. So don't worry if you are looking like a mess. Thus is the magic of watercolor. When it dries, boom, the medics reveal itself to you. Play with the intensity. Again. Add more water and more color. Play with the intensity you want on the paper. And then is time to let this completely dry before we start doing the other part of this painting, or for this car. While or Christmas tree is drying. Let's paint the stem and the part or part of the part with the brown first. And then we will, we will be adding a line of gold to make it a more and more Chinese pot, a more case massive pot. Of course, you can use another color for the pot. As always, lead to gravity flow. And you can also make some bottoms of the bond, the bot. But I will let you decide what you want with this in this form. After all these years. When I finished their part and the stem, I will be lead in this completely dry and then proceed to start painting with my ink. With my ink Girls, Inc. Whoops. Mistake happens. But no problem. We can use it as tin from the subsurface protection paper that I use Always On that needs my paintings. So no worries. I will let that painting this dyad. And then we are going to be painting the rest of the elements on this painting. The stars as always, the most emblematic sign off for Christmas. But you can choose whatever other shape you want here as well. Either no, men, maybe you have another idea of what needs to be on the top of the tree and just put it there. I don't drain to make the Goldsberry intense here. So it shines. And you will see at the end how China in this cult is. Now we are going to be finishing with the bot. And don't be worried. If we need to correct the lines with a black, we're going do it at the end to when everything is dry. Now, let's paint the background we called and we are using the technique wet on dry, saw or goal becomes very, very intense. Disability long process. So I will spit out a little bit the behavior, but keep in mind the lines and the brushes that you gave to the paper are even. And I also want to remind you of the importance of taking breaks. When you are painting something detail in something that is a little bit time-consuming like this. You can take breaks and comeback. Look at the wings, look outside the window and get inspired. Drink water. Take your time. And major war as comfortable as possible. It doesn't need to be a bargain. It is a practice to be enjoying. And of course, if you are in a good mood and our goods a place yourself, then you can really transmit that when you give this guy to the person that you are given this, to, just keep yourself comfortable and make your work clearly intelligible. Now that I am finishing the background, you can see that we lost the start. But don't worry, we are going now to raise the lines when the background becomes dry. Magic of the time. The BPO, it isn't looking shiny. And now with or waterproof ink pen, we are starting to retrace the black lines around an all or silhouettes, starting with the stars and then going around the tree and the lights. And all that needs to be retrace. 7. Christmas Tree Card Part 2: Remember, if you don't have a steady hand, you can always use a helper, our ruler to make your work easier here. But practice makes better. So keep practicing and you will see that your hand will become a Stevia. I will be tracing all the lines very slowly and changing my ink pen if I needed. To make the lines bigger or smaller. You can do this same. Barely slowed. This is real time work. This is not a speed-up. Here. They change the ink pen for a bigger deep and you can see that the lines become bigger. Now we are painting the bar per side, the light bulbs with the gold using a very fine brush and using the technique wet on dry, or painting is completely dry. All the colors that watercolors are dry. And remember, you can use another type of gold, a watercolor gold, or a gel pen and metallic pen or ink if you have it. And it's starting to look like Christmas. Christmas. I really liked how this card is turning out. Another nice idea for a color for this book, ball lives, or for the background, could be silver. If you have a Silber, watercolor, or ink, then for suitably look very nice. So you can try to make a note that one. Also there are these metallics and watercolors that have many beautiful colors and you can use form the front those as well. A, make it your painting a unique and beautiful. She's in the colors that you or the person that you are giving this guy lives in, make them smile when they receive this car. So we are finishing the small details. In now it's time to let this dry. And I will be brightening a little message under the Christmas tree. It says, Merry Christmas. I am using a blog lead, a style in a more cursive letter. For Christmas. You can write the name of the person or order message that you want to convey. The important part is that you are connected with the message you are transmitting to the other person that is receiving this car. And we're doing we're finished with this part of the car. We can break or so on the back from the car as we did in the other. A more explicit message for the person in combining or wishes and are hoping sin, all the good things that we wish for that person or that family. Sunshine in so God is replace must car. We did three. Italy like this one as well. Nssa, you can break a dedication for the person. A complete message in this is the IV I have for you on how you can use this car in your GIF. Just place the cap on the upper side on the button. You have a very beautiful gift to be. I will see you in the next video. 8. Eucalyptus Bouquet Card Supplies: Let's take a look at all the supplies we are going to be using during this class. A ink pen in number one is a bigger tip during sketch, please remember to download a free resources on the resources for this class. Do paper to do the color chart, a brush in small size, clean water to Dowell gold. You can use ink or watercolor or gel pens as we have spoken in the previous classes. And I have here two kinds of green, one liner and one darker. And I will be starting by activating the colors. I also have another color to make some details on the painting. And I am activating all of them right now. We are going to proceed to make a color chart. We are going to be using the technique wet on dry. This is the market getting that I will be using. And I want it to be very beginning that. So remember, just add the less waters if you one more intensity. And this is the second green color I choose for this one is a little bit lighter in color. Now I have jello, and for the details on the painting, I also have galled to make the stamps and some other details on the painting. Now that my colors had done, I will be proceeding to make the outlining for these eucalyptus case messy bouquet. See you in the next video. 9. Eucalyptus Christmas Bouquet Card : If you have already downloaded a duty free resources for the sketch. Now it's time to make the outlined. And I have here my ink pen in number 1 is our big deep. I want this to be very bold. And I will start placing all the lines and the silhouette from my eucalyptus Christmas bouquet. As you can see, the leaves off the air collectors are a little bit round and tried to keep this shape because this is what makes it look so beautiful and interesting. If you haven't, you can take my class using geometrical shapes to create florals. And you will know how to use different geometrical shapes to create the most beautiful florals and leaves and flowers. You can take my other classes on my profile for Skillshare. You will find all of them. As you may notice, this video is a little bit faster. I have as faster than this a little bit so you don't get bored. But please remember, take your time to every line with consciousness like a meditation and enjoy the process. When we're finished with all the shapes and all them, silhouette and we are going to be adding more stamps at the end and then leave the Bot. So the bouquet looks really fully. Now I am erasing all the lines that may be there. And we are going to be starting with the water color on the leaves. And this is how we are going to proceed. Choose, you can choose the darker or lighter and start painting all the leaves with this color. You can choose on the upper side or the underside to paint only this color. Do this with all the leaves. Only with the first color. We can call this the color a and the other one, the color of v. I would read this and I will meet due at the end. During also a alternate the size of the color that you're using first. So it gets the more harmonica Egypt painting. So we are almost the lady with the fierce layer of the dark color. And then we will let this dry completely and then proceed to paint the other side with the other color, the lighter green in this case. Remember that you can use whatever color you want, in this case is recommendable to use two different shades of the same color. You choose blue, then a darker blue and a lighter blue. If you choose Jell-O the same or red the same. Just keep this because this bibs, the effect of eucalyptus under leaves. I started to paint with the second color or colored pea. And I will speed up the video so it doesn't get too long. Please remember to keep their base and enjoy the process. When you are finished with the second color, then let it dry and we can proceed to paint other elements on the painting that doesn't require to touch the watercolor there are still drying. I will start with the bot. So I will paint this bot gold to make it pop the bouquet. And as you can see, I'm just covering it all, all the bow with the gold mining the lines here because I will replace this the lines afterwards when it is dry with my ink, waterproof pen. You can do the same and you can choose another color for the bot. To ask you prefer and enjoy the process, I will answer at some gold details to the painting highlights on the little Berlin. So my painting start to look like this must already. And we can see those sparkling torches of gold when the whole composition is ready. Now the whole entity. So I will start painting the berries, the agenda, and alternating and making it a little bit cohesive. Chose seen the band. The same amount of red and yellow through the whole composition. So paintings. You can see all those little shining gold details and the bot that is already lead trace with the ink, with the Black. And I am thinking of tracing the stems with the goal and the center of the ways. You can do the same. Now that you've got East, maybe you can easily do beautiful Christmas Eve. Who gets to make a Judy's beautiful EM bring a smile to the person, to a, given these gifts to, on the left you can add the name of the person and have the default message. I can't wait to see what you create. I will see you in the next video. 10. Gingerbread House Card Supplies: For our gingerbread house card, I already did the sketch. Please download the resource, fantastic resources for this class. And the dura sketch. I have my ink pen in number one, and I have my palette here. And we're going to do together the color chart. I have brown, blue, red, jello, and God. And I will explain you how we are going to proceed with all these colors. Remember that the engine house is brown because it's cookies. And then we will be adding some details. And I have my finest brush, round brush. Let's do the color chart. I will be activating the colors. So or whether color is ready to use. I'm going to be using the technique wet on wet. So the colors are not too bright. And again, doing the color chart, do the same place. And then we are going to start, and then we're going to proceed to outline or a sketch. I will see you in the next video. 11. Gingerbread House Card: Or less get Israeli n. We're going to start outlining all the silhouette of this. A gingerbread Christmas card. Made this process of slowly and we determine consciousness about every line. And you will see that you can correct or add or eliminate some details that you want to add or D21 to eliminate from your painting and be very creative. And, and so here your abs control flow and that the thing on the colors that you want to add fairs or seconds or at least. So police the lead at this process, ps fluid. As it got, the idea is to enjoy the process. This is a very long they live gingerbread house. So I will just be that the process do a police state, take your time and do is as conscious as you can. So we're finished with that outline. Let's step, I think that what they're called. And we ever use a round brush. Number 6. This is a big one. So we are suddenly with the aboveground and where you want to make these using that technique, wet on wet, wetting the paper with water, with clean water, and then adding the water colors. One, Y, Y1. I want to make like a, I want to make a mix. But around with the colors that we chose for this painting. The blue, the red, and the yellow, is starting with the yellow. We're going to add the colors on different places of the painting and then add in the red and then add in the blue, more on there coordinates of the painting. And then mixing them. As we see. It needs adding more color to make it intense. Or even picking up the color with the brush. Or if we noticed that the colors is too saturated, we can use a clean towel and pick up those amount of color that we don't want to let it dry because they can become moody or darker. So then we will add some clean collar on those spots. And continual with or painting. When we're ready with this process, then we can let this completely dry. So we can proceed with the follow. For this gingerbread Christmas card. They watercolor this dry. So it's time to start painting the walls of the gingerbread house. And for that we are going to be using the brown color. Using that technique, wet on dry. So the brown becomes very dark. Because as you may know, the gingerbread cookies dark brown. And thus is what we want to create here. The secret here is to try to emulate the realness of the cookies. So try to use a brown color or brown watercolor in differentiates very slightly led some that gives a parse in or the more light in brown and add color or pick up color there. Where do you need where do you think you need to do that? And there we see that the div will have this effect of having a real Gingerbread. When you are finished with the painting the walls of the gingerbread, then we're going to add the gold highlights there with we needed to have them. You can see where I am adding those on their sides of the home and on the bottom of the harm and on the door and the windows and the ceiling on the chimney. Now, let's paint with the red, very bright. The Hertz. So it make a very beautiful Christmas contrast, as you can see now, I will paint the ceiling of the gingerbread house with the blue. Starting with that dark shade, then I will add water to spread the color through the whole ceiling. You can also let this wide MDT, so we'll look like slow. But I think the blue will be more interesting in this, in this one. So I will be make a little bit of contrast between the colors that I am using. If you let at this part of the ceiling in white, then I will recommend you, you trace the outline again with a bigger ink pen. So make this a little bit more bold. Now, let this dry and when it is dry, we are going to paint some highlights in white. This is a white paint and the ECS to use this because this had this brush. It is very fine. So I wanted to Mason little lines that resembles as no and some highlights on the sky. If you are painting as I am doing, then take their time to make this line. By the consciousness, they be, they speedup. So that is why it looks so fast. But I am really doing these very slowly. Now when we add in some little touches of white there where I think I will highlight the painting. You can also do splashes if you prefer. And thus it's totally fine. Now. Or gingerbread card is, look how pretty and cute this look like maybe for a child gift over r cubed person that don't know. Let's see how we can use these brushes car on a gift to place it on the upper side and give it to the person. I am sure she or he will smile. I can't wait to see what you create.
