Transcripts

1. Introduction & Welcome: Hello and welcome to this class. My name is Jaime. And in today's class, I will be guiding you through the whole process of creating two DJ got Latins into styles. Adding a black or a dark background. We are going to be starting with a blank canvas. And then we're going to be transforming this white canvas and a beautiful painting that you can display into the home use of a car, invitation for a birthday party, or for a Halloween. Pat. We are going to be selecting together the perfect color palette for our gel, J Colab and for the background that I would have told you that Halloween doesn't need to be too scary. It can be also be whimsical. We are going to be creating two styles, Jake or Latin. So I am providing do two templates that you can easily download in the resources for this class. Just click this button and you will be able to download your template, printed and then transferred to your watercolors. You will see that by the end of the class you wouldn't be able to ping. Beautiful Jacob, Jacob lengthen like this. I think with two half doing gloves. And I invite you to follow me here and so you don't miss any API or any glass. And please be welcome to join me in a discussion or when do our blog class project? In the class project section for this class, I will see you in the next video. 2. Student Suggestion: These halloween theme, but what's a suggestion for one of my students? And I wanted to thank you for good suggestion if you're taking this class. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy this beautiful subject that I selected two paying for the class. I will say too in the next video. 3. The Supplies: Let's take a look. All the supplies that we are going to be using during the class. We have here, all the materials we need. This is an overview. The specifics I will be given to you during the class. We have a kinda water or pallets. We are going to be creating this in the next video. I have white paint. You can have a one, marker, brushes, a mixed pen and paper, watercolor paper. I'm using Canson. This is a very good quality watercolor paper. And I just took one page and I cut it in half. I have two. Smallest size watercolor. You can use a small watercolor paper or whatever you have at hand. I always have a pencil and other supplies that we may use during the class, like washy tapes, fine liners to trace or pieces on the watercolor paper. And always have an extra paper and anything Do we may need, and your coffee or tea on the side. I will see you in the next video. 4. The Color Chart: Okay, let's fix our extra paper to start playing with our colored palettes. And we are painting this Jake or Latin. And I want them to be in a scenario of the sky looking like a galaxy. More mystic sky. Not too scary, but more whimsical, so to speak. And I had selected the color palette that I want to use. Starting with black, we are going to be placing it on or mixing palette. I will start with the black, body, black. This is Holbein watercolors. I love to work with this type of watercolors. The next one is the Prussian blue. I bet it that beautiful blue. In also using a blue from Winsor and Newtons. This is a very beautiful blue as well. And INGOs activating the pigment. And while they did its magic on my little pan, I will proceed with the Melian. This is a kind of orange. This is as well from Holbein. Then we are going to be placing the getting some lake. Anybody read? N grows mad. Just to have beautiful contrast on the Jacob's ladder, which is a pumpkin using for Halloween mostly. And I have this beautiful yellow lemon and I want it to be very clean. And be sure when we are using your brush to have it vertically, to use Jello on the paper. So now let's start by, by lysine and the colored shadow, starting with the jello. So we're actually super clean at this point. You can see how beautiful and vibrant this pigment is. And this we are going to be using to make light inside a bit Jake or Latin. You will see what I mean. When we start the class. Now I will try my best chameleon. This orange, vibrant orange. And we are going to be working with this color on the most darker value. So don't need to brush using too much water. This is the cream some leg. This one is the draws matter. They're a little bit similar, but one of them is more like in the Mac magenta direction and the other is more on the red direction. I want to see how they mix together. Because I will be using in this to make it the shadows on the Jake or Latin or the pumpkin. Okay, I have the fierce set of colors. My paper, and I am loving how they look. Now, let's see how the Prussian blue looks like on my paper. And the black will be the color set for one of the skies. We are going to be working together during the class. We are going to be painting two styles. So I will interchange the skies, tones, or shades. So it is more fun to the painting. And the blue from the smart been here. Looking how they work together and mixed together because we are going to be using this for the sky. As I am telling you all for the background, you can call it also the back. Now, imagine a J collateral on a mystery placement. And this guy is behind. That is what I am looking for these paintings. So playing a little bit more with the colors and looking how they are mixing together and how they look when they are dry. Now I will make a little dry here for the sky, I will be working with a wet on wet technique or the wow technique. So I'm just making this place on my paper wet with clean water. It must be very cunning. And then I will be working with it, Prussian blue and the black. And see how they work together to show you how to start mixing did beautiful colors for the sky. Of course, you can make the sky darker or lighter. It depends on what you want to create into into place. I am changing the, changing the brush just to see how they mix. Better or worse. In this case, and adding more pigment. Remember my paper is wet. That's why the color runs easily onto the paper. You can work in a circular motion to give a little bit of a cloudy sky. Or you can make it more steady. Always let creativity flows and do likings in the paintings. Just mixing these two, the block and the blues shades and see how beautiful the effects start to becoming. It can also be a stormy night. Why not? It's Halloween. Supposed to be scary. But I am looking at I want to make a galaxy type of sky to make it more interesting and more whimsical. This color, mix it really well together. And as you can see, I didn't using the circular motion to place some more darker spot on this dry on Sky. Perfection. I hope you are doing this exercise and remember, you can always upload your work in progress. I will let this dry and continue with the class. I will see you in the next video. 5. Glowing Jack O Lantern: Before we start, please remember that you can download the template for the two j kilotons on the resources and project section for the class. And when do download Azure template, then you can transfer it to your watercolor paper. Then ink it with a fine liner. I just hear the fine liner in brown. And I fixed my paper on my surface, I might in my desk. And I will be working first, the Latin. And here it is. The other example. This is the second one, the one with the witch hat, and we're starting with this one. You get the hang of it. And then it will be easier for you. The second one, we're starting with the latter and then the background or the sky. Let's begin. I am using a brush number six, I changed it it because the surface is a little bit bigger. And then starting with the orange pilot for the lab. And then we will proceed it to paint the background. Just wetting my brush, clean brush in clean water. I want to start adding the beryllium. Who? This is this orange. Pumpkins at very bright orange. So don't hesitate to use it. The more orangey color that you had in your palette. You can always test it out to see the deepness on the pigment. And then we're, we're just be painting the whole surface as keeping the eyes, the nose, and the mouth. And trying to create a little bit of contrast between the sections of our pumpkin. Remember, it is upon King after all. And he had these little sections on the shape. You can see now clearly how I then adding the color in sections, then not painting it from one side to the other. I just I'm adding the color here and there and trying to let some whitespaces with my brush and my brush is almost dry, is not completely wet. And then adding colors here and they're maintaining the lines of my sketch. And this is a very relaxing phase of our painting. Keep adding the colors and trying to make the layers until you have covered all the surface of your banking. On every one of October in mostly the US. I don't know if in Canada or in the UK they celebrate this holiday. But here, we don't have these other as a holiday as such. But years ago, I am talking about ten to 12 years ago. It started to become a thing. Halloween started to reach the site of the war. And maybe because of the Internet, social media and the connections online that people, mostly kids, start to see these funny celebration and they wanted to do it as well. So in our community or in city, the kids in the age of kindergarten and primary school starting to want to do the Halloween work. And here, it does this not as a ping if if he's not, anything is, is prepared for that. So they somehow learn how to do it. And they have this costumes or sub empire or Spiderman send witches and so on. And they started to walk on the streets, on the homes and knocking at the doors. And people were not used to that. And then all those kids in costumes and some creepy ones, some funny ones, some princess as well. They were just kids and people didn't have some candies to give them. The Hayward going into the kitchen and then come back to the kids at the door. And they were giving the kids, like carrots and apples and bananas and vegetables from the front of the fridge because they didn't have this culture of Halloween. And it was such a funny. Introduction for most of the old people and the younger ones as well, that they needed to have some chocolates or candies at home for today. 12 years after. This is like a normal thing. Is it not a holiday still? But people are more aware of this and they are biting. Extra chocolate lights are candies and they have it at home. So when it gets knock at the door, they can give some sweet for them. Is nothing funny. It's Halloween, I think in your country, or it is more introduced by the American society to jars. Let me know in the comments for this class, I would love to know how it is inter-country. So we are almost done with the first letter of the vermilion or the orangey color. We have covered all or panting. And now we add some shadows. With the Rouse model, which is a very red. To make some contrast, I will be adding slowly this that gets sections on the pumpkin. So we can create these more deep pigment and some shadows to give them are structured or beautiful. Halloween pumpkin. Oh Jake, or Latin. It is starting to look a little bit more structured right now. And we are going to be moving the darker color around or pointing. So it creates this 3D effect. It doesn't look so flat on the paper. Then we are going to be a smoothing at the color in the surface of our pumpkin. Started to look more cohesive. And even going around all the fears leg that we did with the orange to darken up the color. If you are painting a bigger pumpkin, then you can change your brush for the bigger one IN keeping it very comfortable for me. And this is very important that you keep your work comfortable. And always remind yourself to take breaks if you need it, you can pause the class and continue later. Adding a germ layers. We're almost done here. I forgot to paint the teeth. The teeth. And we are going to stop here now and start with other parts of our painting. I have here. My brush number four, round brush. And it is a super, super clean because I will be adding the gel or do you remember I told you to keep your brush super clean when you are using lighter shades. And we are making the effect of light with this permanent jello lemma. It around the teeth and the lips of art deco, latter than this effect is really cool. Then in the white space that we're seeing here, we are going to be adding black later when they dry up a little bit. Now we can proceed to paint the stem with a light swatch of black. The fifth layer, of course, and we are using black in the eyes as well. Then adding a little bit more of a deep pit. So it started to see a little bit more realistic or stem. And going around the whole stem with our brush to move the color around. And they can get off the shadow parts at the bottom of our stem. And in this little coordinate here. Okay? I will see you in the next video. 6. Glowing Jack O Lantern Background: Now it's time to start painting the background. And for that I then using the technique wet on wet. And I have this very fun flat brush. And I will be adding clean water on my son faced with it. And then I will start adding the colors. You can use another brush. I just found this brush is more efficient. Wild wetting my paper or my pumpkin. Oh, Jack. London is. While I'm painting the beautiful but cut out, control the water while you are adding water to the paper. And if you feel that it is too much, just take it up a little bit with a clean towel or with your brush. I will start adding some touches of Prussian blue and black, and then mixes, mixing them all to get to create this beautiful effect of a galaxy sky. We can say here. Or you can also call it a starry sky. If you prefer. We're just adding color on all surface of the background without touching or banking. Of course, using a brush number six, number 630. To move my beautiful colors around. I want to create some darker spot because afterwards when it dries, we're going to be adding starts with all white paint. So it needs to be dark in pigment. So don't hesitate to add layers and layers and layers. If you see that your color is still too light or the paper is wet with water. So our color wheel flow really easy. We're just moving those colors around. And as to noticing leaving like a halo around jake or Latin, because this will allow us to create the glowing effect when their background and their eyes IN add a little bit of this blue as well, because this blue is solve leech in pigment, that it creates a very beautiful contrast is too creamy. This is the effect when you add the water under pan. Watercolor becomes super creamy and super rich in pigment. That is why I love, love, love this type of watercolors. I will keep adding layers and layers in keeping these whitespace around my J Collado lantern. So we can create afterwards the glowing effect. And this looks really cool. I will show you a little bit closer so you can take a hint or mortar, an idea on what you are looking for on this paint. Don't hesitate to add the code that recur when the watercolor dries, it becomes a little bit lighter in pigment. Let those colors dance together and mixed together and create the magic by adding sections of darkness. So I didn't have the beautiful dark effect on my painting in this is why I am looking for, as you can see, this is still wet. So my color on my watercolor, France, when I touch it with my brush. For these two, don't need a bigger brush unless you're using a bigger paper size. So creating a little bit of texture with those that get code. So I have here a smaller brush number four, and I will start adding the layers on the eyes. With the black. You can use another shape to create the face of your pumpkin. You can do is, as I did with these shapes. Or you can use circles, or you can use triangles, or you can use rectangles. A half months, whatever to think will make Azure Jacob lantern unique and cute or scary. Or it doesn't matter what affects you want to create, just create it as a steward wish. Now I will add a big black between the deed of my pumpkin here, that my jello is a dry completely. And I will start adding here to create some deepness on the mouth. This banking is really happy, is a really welcoming visitors for the candies. Okay. Now I will start adding a little bit more of a challenge with my mother to create more structured on my pain on my parking, adding some darkness on some sections of the pumpkin. And as you can notice, my painting is dry, so the color is not running when I touch it with my brush. And my brush is almost dry as well. So we get the richness on the color. If you need to. Do color to move a little bit easier than with a brush with water. But be very conscious about the wetness because we don't want the colors to them. We want them to stay dark and vibrant. And go around your pumpkin. It doesn't need to be perfect because when you see the J kilotons, they are imperfections on your banking. You can see in the left side of our bunking that the blue a little bit inside, a debunking, but it is perfect because this give this mystery Halloween ambiance to the pumpkin. And I think a little bit more and go through the whole surface of the pumpkin. I didn't let him. Also the black on the eyes and the mouth dry before I add the second layer. So it stays really rich in pigment. If I add the black, now, it will dilute because the black on the eyes, e.g. is still wet. Do need to take this in consideration if you want to recolor to stay on your paper. So when you fail at that, dude, banking has a second layer with this target. Then you can let this dry and we can proceed to make it a glowing effect. And as you can see, I am using that yellow with my smallest brush here and keeping it very clean. So I get the glowing effect. When we remove the washy tapes, you will see that the painting looks totally different because the buy now it looks like a mess. But we are doing a really nice job here. Bunking is set to glow. And you can notice this. And I hope you are following this lethal any steps to create your beautiful Halloween Jake or lantern that do unhappy with this effect. Is it really fun to create such simple paintings? But at the same time they are so cute and so unique. And you can use this as a big card if somebody has bid on this time or or a Halloween party invitation or to give to the kids that visit your home. You can use this in any way you want. You can display your creativity. Now that is dry. I will proceed to add a second layer with the black on those elements of my painting that needs a second layer and my width, the brushes dry and then using a variable which value of my black, maintaining the shape of my eyes. The second eye is looking mode. Shape it in cute. Try to maintain the lines. The nose. And lastly, the inside of the mouth. Or colors are looking very deep and beautiful and loving how this whole composition and all these colors are working together. In can you see the glowing effect with the yellow lemons that we added around the jacket lantern. I hope you can see this effect as well. Hi, I'm adding a little bit of black to darken it a little bit up. And then I will let this completely dry and I will see to the next PBL. 7. Glowing Jack O Lantern Reveal: Our painting is completely dry, and now it is the perfect time to add some details with our fine liner. And I will add the sections. Using my fine liner. Just adding the lines will make it the pumpkin look more like structure. And Gibbs. Some highlights to it. It is, it is looking more beautiful. I think we're ready to add the stars on the background. And for that, we need a flat brush and our bamboo, bamboo stick. And our white paint diluted with a little bit of water. So it is easier to make the splashes. Try to control the water here, because it is, if the water is, the painting is to run than the stars will be a little bit too big and too light in color. Add as many stars as you wish. And then let it dry completely. Before peeling off the Washington. My painting is completely dry now and I will slowly, slowly, slowly remove that they are painting. We will be revealed to us in a more organized and tidy frame. Be very gentle and don't rush this part of the process. Even though you can use the technique that I showed you in one of my other classes on how to use washi tape. Your paper doesn't get damaged. You can check my other classes here on skill share, on my beer. I have all of them listed in the description for this class. You can find some links to select the classes that I chose for you. So check it out. Please. Remember, you can always review my glasses and let me know what you find them. In. The most perfect way to communicate is through during class predict. And you can upload your work on the class project section for this class. So here it is, or a beautiful Jacob lantern, glowing Jacob. Land. These completely done and you can now use it as you wish. I will see you in the next part of the class. 8. Jack O Lantern With a Witch Hat: Before we start, please remember that you can download the template for the two j kilotons on the resources and project section for the class. Then please transfer the pattern to the watercolor paper and fixed it on your desk or wherever you are working, dude painting. So I have here all the materials are neat and I have tranform my painting and I have ink it with a black fine liner. We are going to be starting with the hat of this jacket lantern, which hat? And then we are going to proceed to paint the other elements of our beautiful and cute painting. I will start with the hat as I told you. And again, using a number four brush. And I will, I will do a mix of these, blue with my mother. To get a violet paint, a color for the hat. I will try to keep the colors. Very beautiful. Art paintings reflect a more cute Halloween style. So as carry one. Here, I can show you how I am mixing the colors, trying to keep a ratio of model read Adam blue. So my violet or purple is beautiful. Or watercolor paper. The more blue you add, the more darker pigment will become. And then mortal read a Jew, add to the mix, then mark the ray model in the violet shade. It will become tried to keep a contrast with doing that to mix that. Do you have already some shadows in your painting? To start painting in your heart. Sections. Don't go through the whole hat at the ones. Just go add color here and there. And then you will create a dose that cut parts and lighter parks with your watercolors. It is always a Martin on how would you apply the color on your paper. So you can get the difference? Contrast, and the different textures on your paintings. Go easy. And enjoyed the process. I find this to be really nice. Combinations of two elements of Halloween, but making it a little bit more gentle. And that's scary. But some people love the sketchiness of this holiday. But I prefer the more general one. So we are adding a little bit more blue, so it becomes darker at the bottom. And we're just keeping the layers flowing in or painting. I just did shade too soft and up the painting in to not make it too dark. But you can also use another color like black or brown. Don't hesitate if you have any other preference. Now, we're proceeding. The paint, the front part of the hat, make it more cohesive. In chosen the colors. Don't hesitate to go with Europe preference. I didn't just showing you our way or my way to paint this beautiful creation. As I was telling you at the beginning, either want to make this scary, as such, I want to make it more fun and cute and playful. Now we can add some shadows on the upper part of our hat to make it more weight on those lines. And keeping or maintaining the lines. Now with my mix, I and adding a little bit more of red hair and adding some touches to make those folding marks that normally the hat, how? Half on some places and adding a little bit of shadows. When we're finished with this part of the painting, we can decide what to do with the belt that is on the hat. I am letting this white. I think it makes a beautiful contrast because we are going to be adding a background as well. So you will see how I am talking about. But I have this idea in my mind and I think why is perfect? Let's continue with the pumpkin. And we're in the same way we did with the other one. This time. And add in the lines this section of the pumpkin, a certain thing in the middle, and then going to the left side, and then going to the right side. And then adding some shadows, keeping the pigment Betty, betty dark on the dark as a body, meaning you don't add too much water. So the pigment is very elevate. Innocent waiting in this section of the bunking, going very slowly. So you can paint with me. This is a real time. As always. I tried to keep all my classes in a real time motion so you don't miss anything that I do. And you can follow along. How fun is that? It takes time. But we are here to enjoy our time or our time together. That is all that matters. Making some shadows on the side. And now we can proceed to continue painting the whitespaces of our pumpkin as what keeping the pigment very, very dark. In this band, medium. Orange color. Mining the lines. Because we are going to be painting inside those spaces. The lines define as the eyes, the nose, and the mouth. Now or panky looks like a cut or a tiger. But we are going to be covering all the whitespaces around. Pumpkin. Make it look like a pumpkin. Of course. What I am looking here is to create a section with water colors. And this is why I am just marking the spaces and then adding water to move the color around. And you will see the beautiful effect that we create here. Just with this simple technique. We can now move the color with water and the section will start to appear more accentuated. The binding or pumpkin intersections. Let it run with the water and smooth out the lines that are maybe a little bit too straight or too hard. Because we want this to be even. We keep moving or color onto it. We're going through all the surface. And I will see you in the next video. 9. Jack O Lantern With a Witch Hat Details: Time to add a little bit more of color. That color. Or non banking using cadmium red to add a little bit more of a structure to our pumpkin. On the size and on the dark orange that we see in our painting. Depending on when you mark your sections. Your pumpkin. Just going through with the brush, very gently, moving the color to paint those spaces. Try to go slowly so that you can really see the places where do you want to add the pigment and combine the orange and the red together so you get the more cohesive shape. Looking super nice. I am loving how the colors are dry. And I hope you are loving your colors too. And that this template is helping you to create this beautiful Jacob Latin with a witch hat. You can also use your own creativity and paint. This painting or Jake or Latin with another accessories, is up to you. And I will love to see your creativity display on the class project section. For this class. We keep adding those torches. And as you can see now the color looks super evil. But with some shadows and some places Perfect of how we want. Now it's time to add a delight in the mouth inside them out like it is a candle inside of our Jake or Latin lantern. And the yellow lemon with our clean brush. And we're going to add the same Stein going through the teeth and the lips of our pumpkin. Just like that. And then letting this white space to add the blood later when the jello is that I also painting and the band brush with jello to make it pop a little bit. So this is looking really the radiant. Now time to add the black colors in the eyes and the nose. All these elements of our painting here is you want to come to shape their eyes in another shape. I enlighten this like this. Or lambda is watching us. So be mindful of your actions. So it gives you a drip and a no, a trick. It's a very fun. It is looking so beautiful and the color make such a beautiful contrast as you can see. And it is. So relaxing to paint really is like a meditation. Can I help you to come take the time to paint frequent or eyes or nose at that. Now, my yellow is dry. I will add it there. Black side the mouth. I then keeping my brush dry so the color doesn't run too much into the yellow. But it is happy if it happens, it's not a big problem. Just tried to keep it. Separate it a little bit so the contrast make the beautiful effect. This has myelin pumping as well. So we let this completely dry. And meanwhile, we can start to paint back around. For the background, we are going to be using the wet on wet technique using our flat, flat brush. It is just because it is easier to add the water with this type of brush, but you can use any brush. Do have I will wet all the white spaces on the background of my jacket lantern and then start adding the colors. Control the water. So it doesn't get too wet. Damage your paper. The baby will start buckling and thus is not good. I will use two colors here, the blue from Winsor and Newton. In adding these in a circular motion because I want this to be like clouds. And then I will add the blue in-between, those cadmium red, so they start to mix by themselves and give me this beautiful sky, the almost whimsical sky, with this two-color going together. And then I will interchange these two colors around my whole painting. I think moving the color as I see they need more pigment or less pigment, or they need more mix. And see if I can add more darker colors to make them more vibrant. I really love how these colors are dancing together and making this beautiful contrast. Such a beautiful background for this whimsical Jake good. Lantern. More blue here embed. Don't make the beautiful combination IN not letting any whitespace. I don't my subject here, as we did in the order, J called Latin. Instead, covering it all with the colors. Why not? Beautiful combination. I am loving this very much. Going very slowly or on the ninth, so it doesn't get too much on the other elements that are on my paper. Don't be afraid to add more pigment because, you know, when they dry, the pigment becomes very, very light. I liaise with watercolors. This happens looking pretty, pretty nice and not scared it at all. It looks like playful. So it is looking really nice. And I will stop here in this lady letting this a little bit. Then seeing if I need to add more color in later on when it's, it's a bit dry. For now, I will add a little bit of shadow to the pumpkin itself using the dread. Going through my whole painting. Just to give a more of a mysterious looking to or pumpkin. So don't overdo this too much, just a little bit here and there. And more on the size to create the shadow lights. Mixing direct and they are looking super nice. And I am really loving how this combination of colors are looking like. Now we need to wait until this is completely dry to see if we need to adjust the colors and add more pigment somewhere. And then to proceed to add the last details. I will see you in the next video. 10. Jack O Lantern With a Witch Hat Reveal: After 1 h of driving, look how this will look. And I will be adding some touches of blue in some places to just revive the deepness of these colors. So it gives more contrast and structure to our sky. Here in their paintings that look more cohesive and beautiful with a smaller brush, not too big. So I can reach those places exactly and not go too much on the other colors. This is a number six. Then with the red as well, mixing it with a little bit of blue, a little bit on those clouds. Just calling it that way. And it is looking super whimsical. Add these torches of pigment and then we'll do think you want to see more color. Because afterwards we are going to be adding some splashes with the white paint and they need a darker shade so they can pop up on our painting. Perfection. I think we are now done with this. We can proceed to the other beautiful details, which adds, adding this section lines with our fine dining and then our status. And we're going to add these lines to make the section of our banking. You don't need to press too much, too fine line it. Just try to make the lines very lightly to mark those sections. And you can see it looks completely beautiful and more defined. Then again and just add in some highlights here and there, some dots. To make it. Now I want to paint here a spider web using the same fine liner in black. You can also use a white fine liner or white pen to make this. But I just wanted to not make this the king or the queen of the painting. I want the J lambda to be the queen of our painting. So I decided to paint this in black. The spider web. And then little spider would come after this. It is really difficult to paint a waste by that, here, just by hand without any ruler or something. And here you can see it more clear. Here, this is early despite their perfection, we're ready now to add details to our beautiful painting. Which are the splashes with, with our flat brush and, or bamboo stick or white paint. I think as much little splashes to pop to make the picture or painting pop. I'm just loving it. And we will see the real deal when we build off the tapes from our paper, which we are going to do it now that our painting is completely dry. So easy it is and so satisfying to see our beautiful painting compete. Just removing the tape very slowly, discovering a beautiful frame. Remember, you can use this as a party, Halloween party card, or just to give to the children and people that come to your home for three weeks. They will love it. You can also do this in a small frame. So it is easier for you to give away. Look at this. This is a beautiful work together and I hope you enjoyed this part of the class.
