1. Intro: Hello and welcome to this class. My name is Jaime, and in today's class, we are going to be painting
for beautiful cotton candies. We are going to be
choosing the colors. We are going to be learning
how to use our brush tool. Make the fluffy texture
that the cotton candy. I hope you have even sometimes in your
life, cotton candy. So do know how the texture
and how they look like. Nowadays, there are
many inspirations to make a difference. Cotton candy, I will love to, to join me for this class. And I can't wait
to tell you how I got the inspiration for
this beautiful glass. You can follow me
here on skill share and do won't miss any class. I will see you in
the next video.
2. Inspiration: She Asked Me for This: This is how I got the
inspiration for this class. If it is a very special one
and that made me so happy. This is, this comes
from my last class about the toxicants
and the person bright. Such a fun and lovely glass
suggestion from Aikido. I have a suggestion for you. Can you please make a
class on how to make a watercolor cutoff candy or just a simple plate of coffees. And here is the clef,
especially for you. I hope you enjoy
it and do like it. Let me know in the
comments and thank you so much for the
beautiful suggestion. I will see you in
the next video.
3. The Supplies: Let's take a look at the supplies that we are going to be using
during the class. Do need a clean towel,
watercolor paper, a round brush, or whatever
you have at hand, your watercolors shades that you choose for your painting. We are going to be doing
the quadrat chat together, a button, let's play with
clean water and water. We also need a washy
tapes and other corners, I would say to you
in the next video.
4. Color Chart: Choosing The Palette: Alright, I have a little bottle with water to activate
my watercolors. And the chase that I chose for this class are the
most beautiful ones. And they are suggested by the lovely view of my bass clef. Pink, blue, violet, and purple. I would be working
with this color, does that suggested
for this class? And I am really loving it. I will be doing my color chart to see
how the colors react and how clear or how deep or how light I
want the colors to be in. Do know that the
cotton candy are very, very light in color. But nowadays, people are really creating beautiful designs
with the cotton candy. And the colors are really, really bright, vibrant,
and beautiful. But here we are
going to be pursuing the most light shade
of the colors. As you can see I have here
lead in my first color, which will add the pink, the purple, and violet. The last one that I am doing. They are more in the
pastel side of the Shays. And lastly, I will be then doing the dryer
with the blue keys. So the color becomes really light when I apply
it with water. This beautiful pastel
colors are really beautiful for our cotton candy that we are going to be painting as our student suggested
for this class. Thank you so much again
for your suggestion. And I will see you
in the next video.
5. Pink Cotton Candy: I have all my materials, my paper is fixed. On my surprise. I have my towel, my brushes, my battle, a spray bottle, and my watercolors and my water. I will be using that
technique, wet on wet. And I will start with
the pink cotton candy. And then I will continue
with the other colors, the blue and then the last
will be the purple and violet. I will replace it
to cotton candies here in this first
part of the class. And that will be the pink and the less placed or
first cotton candy. Using the round motions
or circular motions. With my brush wet. I will, just, Today's, the shape of a cotton
candy is more like around, but using circular motion. And my brush is just
a little bit of color so you can see what
I'm doing on the paper. Now I will pick up
more pigment format from my color dish. And I will start adding in the same motion with
my infuse color. But ash. Maintain your brush, wet, solid color added to the paper where we are going
to be working on layers. So keep in mind that if the corner doesn't look as
you want, now, it will. When you add more
and more layers. I then adding that
shades of these pink. Because you know that
the cotton candy has some sugar hairs. And that's the trick with
our spray water bottle. We are going to be spraying the color from the middle to the outside of our cotton candy. And as you can see, here are the little hairs
from sugar that are the emblematic shape and
silhouette of our cotton candy. I hope you had eaten a
cotton candy into your life. So I do know how they look like. This colored sugar, but it's
so fun to it and is cute. Now we are going to be keeping, adding layers and layers
of color until we have the desirable
shape that we want. Moving or rash in
a circular motion. So the watercolor goes on
the places we want it to go. Working with watercolor
in layers is very simple and so
much fun to do. And you see then when
the layers becomes dry, the color we show the
real shade that it is. It doesn't look always
surprised when it dries. Keep adding some tortious
with your brush wet. And then let this dry. Now we're going to proceed to paint the next cotton candy.
6. Blue Cotton Candy: Now let's paint our
blue cotton candy. And I then using the same
technique, wet on wet. I then taking a little bit of my color on my brush so you can see what I'm
doing on the paper. I then just using the circular motion that we
learned in the first part, where I'm painting the
pink cotton candy. And here we are adding color to our silhouette of cotton candy. But this time we are
using the color blue. We are going to be doing
like little clouds in this circular motion to get the real texture
on our cotton candy. The sugar, when the
people work with this to make the cotton candy, really looks like a cloud if
you see that really close. So we're doing the same,
adding some pigments. And then going with our brush in circular
motion and adding some more darker
torches with our brush. And always working on the
shape of the cotton candy. When we feel that the
color is well distribute, then we are going to proceed
to use a spray bottle. The same way for the middle to the outside lines
of arched shape. So the little lines looks
like the sugar hairs. And we can pick up
some saturated color from the water that
went on the paper. And then proceed to add more tortious on the edges
around or cotton candy. As you can see, the
painting is very wet. And thus is that
the technique here, wet on wet allows the
painting to become beautiful. When it dries those spaces. What the color is darker. You can use your
towel to pick up some excess of water and make the effect of clouds. Lifting your color with your
brush and going around. The cotton candy to
make it look really even and doesn't have
hard lines of colors. So the color really get
accepted by the paper. Keep doing this
until you feel or see that your painting is done. Then let it dry. Now I will let this dry and I will see you
in the next video.
7. Pink and Blue Cotton Candy Details: Okay, Now we're going
to be adding the last, the last layer on
our cotton candies. And then getting in the
background a little bit alive, adding some details
over that as well. So I think adding some spots
on my pink cotton candy. So it looks more vibrant
and delicious to it. And now I will just paint some dots as a
product background to make the can be gotten
pop up on the paper. I will do the same with
the blue cotton candy. So the background becomes
part of the painting. I also will add the layer on my blue cotton
candy. As you can see. Then instead of painting
the dots on the background, there are some
little dots to make them more contrast
with the paper. Those leaders dots just make the painting more cohesive
and more beautiful. Good Watch. Then I will add a little bit more
of color because I am seeing that the blue is not
too bright as I wanted. And when it dries, it will
become very, very light. So I will add some brushes out and then moving them to
soften those hard lines. Then I will let this to proceed. Painting the thick that
holds the cotton candy, they are completely dry now. So I will proceed
to paint the stick. I didn't use a brown color here. So to paint the sticks, then, we are going to be
adding the details to our codon candies,
pink and blue. Now that my sticks out right, I will be adding some ribbons, just interchanging the colors using the blue ribbon for
the pink cotton candy. So it made a beautiful contrast. This is tiny ravens. Now, the big ones. Just to add a little kid. And then for the
blue cotton candy, I will reduce the pink colored
to make the tinier reborn. And the turning out so cute. Then I will let this
dry to proceed with it, the last details, which
are some splashes. And I will use the
pink color for the pink cotton candy and then the blue color
for the blue cotton candy. This just give more texture to the painting and he met looks, maiden looks more
cohesive composition. Now I will use the blue one. I am using the
technique splashes using my flat brush
and a bamboo stick. You can refer to
that on the glass for how to create that
texture in your paintings. I will put the link on this class description
for you to watch as well. So now I will let this
dry and we'll proceed to paint the other
cotton candies in. Now, this is how they look. I will see you in
the next video.
8. Purple Cotton Candy: We are going to be changing
the colors here and we are working with
violet and purple. So I'm using a round
brush and then I will start adding the water to the paper in circular motions, making the shape
of a cotton candy. By now you are familiar with this technique to paint
your cotton candy. So do be aware that
practice may progress. And the more you paint, the more control with
two brushes you have. And also it allows you to get to know your mediums with the
one you are working with. And this is very important in your practices as an
artist or as a whole. If you are doing this
as a hobby as well, It's very important that you practice and take
time to get to know your mediums and your tools
to use them accordingly. And effectively. I didn't just following the
water with my purple color. As you can see, I'm mixing a little bit of the
lighter violet. So the mix becomes a
little bit milky in a way. So when it dries, it looks really
beautiful and vibrant. Water to my colors. So it becomes lighter. Helps the mixing on
the paper easier. To get the look that I
want on this painting. As always, we're
painting on layers. The colors get the real effect of a cotton candy. Always been there.
Watercolors dry is, becomes lighter in check. So don't worry about
it is look into that because when it dries
the point, the paper up, the color and the water, it really gets a little
bit lighter in pigment. Now I am using my spray bottle
to make the little hair. French yogurt effect.
As you can see. If you don't have a spray,
water bottle, bottle. With a spray, you can use the dripping technique
with the stroke. And this is another of the
techniques that I share in the class of techniques make
texture injure paintings. And I will put the link on the
description for this class so you can refer over there
to the different ate, a difference techniques to use to give more texture
to your paintings. But if you have a spray bottle, then you are set for the class. I am adding the last touches
before I let this to dry a little bit before
continuing with the painting. Maintain to the brush. Wet. Because this is
very important to move the watercolor
around in the paint. Now that my painting
is completely dry, I will proceed to paint the
stick using a smaller brush. This case is a round brush. I'm using the color burn
down in a lighter shade. Just adding water to the color
becomes lighter in shape. So easy as that. Then when it's dry, I will proceed to add the last layer on this cotton candy and
see how it is going. Well, while it drives, how the colors is looking. And just softening
those heartbeat, a cluster of colors. On some ideas. I will add the same
background as we did in the last two
cotton candies. Using the two
colors I have here. Just making these little dots or painting becomes more fun. And cute. Add as many as you like. Your background, become festive. And the contrast is really nice. So when you are ready
with your thoughts, or SDK is completely dry. And now we can proceed to paint the NIN using a
contrasting color here. I'm using the blue to give
you a little bit of fun. So it looks more contrasting. This is a lethal weapon. To make it good and cute. Now I will add the splashes using the darker
watercolor, the purple one. So it makes the
painting more texturize and Martin contrast and vibrant. Then I will let this dry and I will see you
in the next video.
9. Violet Cotton Candy: Okay, I will be using
for this cotton candy, the violet color is
the very light one. Then activating it with what? Applying a couple of drops from my little button IN
using this round brush. And we're going to
proceed to wet the paper, just wiping my brush on
water and then starting to make those circular
motions on the paper. So this is called the
wet-on-wet technique. Then I will apply the color on those wet spaces on my paper. And the magic will happen. I want this to be
very, very light. So I'm diluting
this color as much as I can, adding enough water. So the color really, really gets super, super light. And using the
circular motion as we have been done during
this whole class. As applied in some brushes. To make the shadows
on the painting. I can't wait to see what
colors you choose for your cotton candies
and how they turn out. You can always upload your work to the project
section on this class. It's always fun to see how to interpret date the classes in how you use the techniques. And of course, seed your work and get to talk
to you about the, the beautiful piece
to create it. Along with the class. I am just adding some more
color here and there. On the face layer of watercolor. This luggage really,
really soft and nice. When you fail to our red. Then pick up a
spray water bottle. The water so the
little sugar hairs appears on your paper. And then if you have
too much water, just leave the x's
with your towel. This is a great technique to lift up the colors or
the excess water or paint. Now I will proceed with
this second layer of color until I feel it is
enough to let this dry. And then see if I need
to add a little bit more of a layered or just go with the glaze technique to pick
up the hard lines that sometimes form in
the painting when the colors start to donate
in a place of your painting. The glaze technique is
very easier to use. Just do need to have a clean
brush and wet on water and then go through
your painting with a brush in the water. And the watercolor
will reactivate. And then you can move it where
you want it to get or you can even lift those
spaces with that. I think this lady. And then I will get the cotton candy to proceed
with the next step. Now I think it is enough
of adding the legs. I will let this dry. Now. I will proceed to
paint the stick using a brown color
in a smaller brush. So easy it is somebody's. So I didn't just making the color a little
bit light to dodge the cotton candy
without the color getting activated on my
violet cotton candy. Now this is the super dry, and I will proceed
to add more down motion colors onto
my cotton candy. So it looks like
the shadows I'm, will make my cotton
candy pop up and no loop and doesn't look
too flat on the paper. We're just adding a
little bit of texture. You can also use white
to make it this color more milky and jugar Like if you have passed
and colors Danny's, they will work as
well. Really nice. I then just picking up a
little bit of the color with my bigger brush to
smooth those lines. It is looking just like clouds. If you see it carefully. They look like
cotton candy clouds. Now, my painting is
totally dry and I will proceed to add the splashes. So big. Cotton candy. Get a little bit more
structure and contrast. And doesn't look so
flat on the paper. Using my flat brush and the bamboo stick to
make the splashes. Now I will add a little
bit of the darker, purple. So the splashes pop up on my violet cotton candy just to get more contrast
in the painting. When it dries. If it looks more decks to rise. When you feel it this
enough from splashes, then let this dry. Now it's completely dry and
I will add the little ribbon using in the darker purple
color to make the contrast. Using a small round brush. It is looking really, really nice and cute. And I can't really
wait until it. You can upload your project work to the project section
for this class. And I would also add some dots in the same
that getting purple. This makes a nice contrast
in the whole painting, in the composition looks
more cohesive and beautiful. You can also use gold
color if you prefer. And it will make a
nice look, studious. Contrast. I will add some more and then I will let
this completely dry. So here we have our two violet
and purple cotton candy. I will see you in
the next video.
