Color mixing is the more water you add, the lighter color you work out. So the value of the color based on how much water you at by mixing while one of our ways in other watercolor well are you doing consists of parents. Neutralize a color? Will Apple Co. Don Carlos 10 preacher But no all weather colors mix well with one another, so the best way to find the color that you wanted to do the test. For example, I wanna mix crimson and llama yellow together. What I usually do is to mix different amounts off crimson very later to very much with different amount of lemon yellow, and then determine what color they like to use. Oh, aren't next is how to build up layers and make a green. In fact, what college is all about? Layers buildup, different layers will help the flowers look more nature and leave it. I will show you two different ways. First is what on what I always start from a very lie wash first lay NDA on my washing on the paddle and before it's try laying down the doctor Kahlo. By this time, do not put it all with a paddle just a little by little. I would like to add darker color on the connection area between two pedals because it's a shadow area. - As you can see, since the first layer does not dry, we put on the darker color that creates this beautiful texture. I will show you the brush tapes later in this video UK and more than two layers. If you want that you were half a greedy. In effect, I'm gonna put a little bit darker color on the edge off the pattern as well. What if the first layer has already dried, among other used leaves? As example or so it's a good chance to show you high pain leaves. Now I'm using principle to draw several lines, kind of divide these leaves into Tim parts. I will pay each part one by want, because I won't leave a little bit space for each part. Now the first layer is completely dry. I am out in lie wash on the top of the dry layer, just feeling those y space out, as you can see, compelled to what Allah is totally different texture. Finally, out we introduced three E's a brush tips that you may use, and we want pain. Flower First is how to raise the color and making a colleague Rachel. So I already paying first layer. But I want these ever become lighter. What I'm gonna do is before it drives, I am raising my brush off, enjoying it. Go ahead, race their color. It can make the color nice and gradual. Sometimes you will create a smooth second layer. Know whether the first Larry ISS trial not, as I showed before for painting a paddle, paying a little bit Dr Carlo in the quarter and then get the brush Smoothes the line. It's kind of like a top emotion. Or use a brush just going around and soft all those adjudges. Some flowers have brains coming through the paddle. As a beginner, it's a little bit hard to draw. Very thing lies. So here's a treat. I'm gonna use size seven brush. This brush has different hair. As you can see, it's easy to paying very thing wise, and also those lines are intense So what I'm gonna do is just in deep in the dark color found a rush out, and then you will bring these lines out. All right, that's all about those simple techniques and tapes. Just remember more practice. You do, the better you will be.
5. Paint Flowers: Welcome back. Now you have the scheduled flour and already know the basic watercolor techniques for this class. I'm going to walk you through the whole process off painting a complete water cauliflower because off the time limit, I can no show you the regular speed off painting process. But I will explain the details as much as I can. So first, we're gonna pay the Mayflower. I want to start from the left to the right for the pad. Oh, start from the light color. I'm not used the light pink wash. So the petr looks like, Ah, harsh shape. Um, I'm not pay from outside to inside. - I'm using the T show people to tap the middle area off the flowers paddle because I want to make a radio. In fact, non laying down a single layer a color off the single layer is darker pink. Pay a little bit in the corner and then get the brush Smoothes the line. So basically, it's the same technique as I mentioned before. Just a tap a little by little, and then coming up with badgers. Now I'm adding doctor color along the lower part. Just make a little test off the floor since the first layer has already tried. So I add a little water and then laying down the second layer. As you can see, I always focus on the address on the flower because I want my flower looks more nature. If you'll make a mistake, that's totally fine. Just use the clean brush to race their color off. Now I'm at the wobble layer, just emphasized the crease off the flower and also at the crease line around the flower part. So the sofas pad Oh is down. We're gonna pay in the bottom of the flower. I don't know the exact name. Thes part off flower. I just call you bother. So it's the same technique as the lower paddle just laid down the first lie wash layer and then pull on the second layer on the edges for the crease. All the area you want. Teoh the darker color after they stop, added a column for the flower barred and then Waltham May flowers is all set. Um, we're gonna use the same technique to pay the other flowers stop to pay 18 leaves and branches, believes as I mentioned before, we're gonna use the wet on dry technique. First divide, believe into several parts and then pain those part one by one. Just make surely but little best base between each part. The first step off painting leaves is also just needs some time to let it die. We can save the time in pain. The branch heirs now are I have to re finish Peten the purchase. All the leaves are dry so we're never paid the signal. Layer the lie wash for into early. All right, let's move on to next step Shadow. Why do we need to put on the shadow? Because we want our flowers look more nature and more realistic. Really. The shadow is on the connection area between one pad Oh, and another paddle all of the area around with flour. I'm using like ray as my shadow color. So how to choose the color of the shadow depends only flowers make collar. For example, If your flowers are like people like purpose, you can use the like agree as your shadow call. If your flowers are pride orange or red, you can use duck her great as your shadow column. As we all know, the shadow is based on the direction off the light for this painting. The directional The lie is coming through the top left corner. The final step is putting all the details. So I'm using size number to rush to Jove. Everything lies on the bottom of the flower. These are flowers, wings. - Now you have your own watercolor flowers.
