Watercolor Painting of Autumn Season Trees and Bridge Landscape

1. Introduction to the Class: Hi, friends. Thanks for joining the class. My name is Shiba. I am an artist, instructor, and a YouTuber. In today's painting class, I will paint a beautiful autumn trees and bridge landscape using watercolors. I love to do watercolor paintings, mostly the old rural areas, landscapes, seascapes, birds and animals, and much more. I try to keep my painting more vibrant and full of rich colors, which you will find today in my watercolor painting class. I'm very excited to share all those steps that help me in making this beautiful painting and walking you through my materials so that you can even try and follow along. Without wasting time, let's get started. 2. Materials Required for the Painting: Hello, everyone. Welcome back. In this part, I will discuss the materials that I will be using for my watercolor painting. Starting with the paper, the paper which I'm using is from Fabriano Artistico Watercolor paper, 300 GSM cold pressed. I'm using this cold press paper because it creates beautiful bouquet effect in your painting and it does not dry out soon, giving us more time to work on the details. This comes in 15 sheets of an A five size. The colors which I'm using is from Windsor and Newton Cotman student grade watercolors. These colors are very good for anyone who wants to start their beautiful art journey. Now the names of the colors on my palette are displayed on the screen as you can see. Here I have replaced the white color with the cobalt turquoise from white Knights because I don't use white in my painting. For the brushes, I'm using three mob brushes of size zero, two and four, as you can see. Now, these brushes are good to apply paint for a longer period of time as it holds a lot of water. I'm also using these three synthetic brushes out of which, two are the round brushes with number six and eight and one is a lineup brush number two for the sharp lines. Now, these brushes are sufficient to make a painting of an A five size. If you don't have a similar brush, you can use any brush you have. It's just that you must be comfortable while doing the painting. For drawing this sketch, I'm using a mechanical pencil with lead 0.7. If you don't have a mechanical pencil, then you can use an gB pencil as well. This is the needed eraser that I will be using to remove unwanted pencil marks when required. Now the best thing about this eraser is that it can be molded into the required shape as per the area you want to erase on the paper. Now, this is a half inch masking tape that I will be using to tape down my paper so that it holds my paper firm throughout the painting. Here I'm using a jar of water and a small tub of water so that I can use them separately, one to clean the brush and the other one as a mixing medium. This is a hair dryer that I will be using to dry my painting once I lay down the paint layers on the paper. I'm also using a cotton clue to dry my brush and to reduce any extra paint on the brush. If you find your brush has a lot of paint, you can wipe it off by gently making it run on the cloth. Friends, we have completed discussing the materials that I will be using for this painting. Now let's move on to the next part where we will be starting with the sketch and I see you there. 3. Drawing the Basic Sketch: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the first part of this painting session. In this part, we will draw the basic sketch. Let's start with applying the masking tape. This is a half inch masking tape, as you can see. I'm applying this masking tape on all the four edges of the paper. Here I'm using a half inch masking tape. If you want, you can also use 1 " masking tape. While applying the masking tape, I'm trying to keep half of it, stick to the paper, and the other half stick to the board. I usually use masking tape in most of my paintings as it gives clean edges at the end of the painting. We have completed applying the masking tape. Now let's press it firmly so that it sticks well before we start with the painting. For sketching, I'm using a mechanical pencil with lead 0.7. This is from the brand pentel. It is not important to have a mechanical pencil for this sketch. You can use any normal pencil you have. Here I'm making the outline of the rustic Mountain bridge. I have drawn an inclined line to mark the perspective and then drawing the curve to draw the passage under the bridge. I'm using a needed eraser to clean any unwanted pencil lines. Now, this inclined line is depicting the top of the bridge. Let's make it dark. I'm also adding some curved lines to add rough texture to the bridge. Now I'm adding a second line to add volume to the curve under the bridge. You can see how bridge is now looking like a three D object. Now it's time to add the adjoining land surface. For this, I'm starting with drawing the rocks close to the bridge. Let's draw some more rocks and stones. You can see I'm drawing these rocks close to each other to show the land surface on which the bridge is standing. While sketching the rocks, I'm also changing their shape so that they look more natural and realistic. Let's quickly add some more rocks on the left. Now while adding the rocks on the left, we will try to maintain the perspective. We will make them a little smaller, which are away and the bigger ones will be close to us. Now let's draw the rocks and stones which are at the distance, as you can see. It's time to add the land surface on the left under the bridge. Now, let's add some smaller rocks and stones. Now it's time to add the bigger ones. You can see I'm using the mixture of smaller and bigger stones to make the painting look more natural. Let's quickly add some more rocks and stones. It's time to draw the reflection of the bridge in the flowing water. Here I'm adding some pencil marks just to mark the area of reflection. Let's add a sloping line to draw the land surface. Once it is done, we will draw the tree line on the right. This tree line will help us as a guide at the time of painting it with watercolor. Now, let's draw some tree lines on the left. While drawing these lines, try to draw them a little irregular so that it looks more natural. It's time to add some more trees. Now it's time to add fencing to the bridge. For this, I'm starting by drawing a horizontal straight line first. Let's add some vertical lines to draw the support to the fencing. You can see I'm adding two lines to add the volume to the fence. Now let's interconnect them with the second horizontal line. Now I'm adding a few more details to the tree lines as you can see. Friends, we have completed drawing the sketch. If you want to have a more clear view of the sketch, you can just download the sketch PDF, which is attached in the project and resource section and I see you in the next part. 4. Painting the Trees at The Background: Hello, friends, welcome back. In this part, we will paint the trees in the background. First, we will cover the trees at the back and then we will paint the ones on the sides. Now, let's apply water to make the paper damp and the brush which I'm using is a mob brush number two. I'm applying water only to the trees at the background, leaving the bridge underneath. It is important to apply two to three layers of water so that the paper becomes damp helping the paint to flow well. Now the technique which I'm using is a wet on wet technique, and it is used to add blurry bouquet effect in your painting. Now let's start by applying turquoise blue to the sky, and here I'm using mob brush number two. I am applying a very light wash of cobalt turquoise, as you can see. Now let's mix lemon yellow with cadmium yellow. Here I'm using a very light wash of colors as a base color. Now I'm increasing the amount of cadmium yellow. At this stage, it's important to apply the base color without thinking much on the detail part. We will add details once we complete adding the base color. Now let's apply some more mixture of lemon yellow mixed with cadmium yellow. Now let's add some cadmium red to cadmium yellow for the leaves as we see in the autumn season. You can see I'm applying this paint when the paper is still wet. I'm applying this paint on the selective ideas where I want the leaves to look more dark. Now I'm applying a very light wash of cadmium yellow mixed with cadmium red. Let's apply a wash of crimson red mixed with cadmium yellow. I'm applying this mixture on the left to draw dark colour leaves and the shadows. Now let's add a mixture of crimson red mixed with cadmium red. Now these dark tones of colors are adding depth to the painting. For these dark autumn tree leaves, I'm using the mixture of cadmium red mixed with crimson red. With each layer of color, I'm increasing the amount of color pigments to make the mixture saturated. It's time to paint the trees on the right. For this, I'm using the same mixture. Let's add a few more brushed rooks to add some details to the tree leaves. The paper is still wet. Let's quickly apply orange and reds on the left. Oh For this, I will be using a mob brush number zero. Now I'm adding some green tree leaves. For this, I'm using a wash of sap green and adding it to the wet surface. Now, this brush is a smaller number, so it carries less amount of paint helping the paint not to spread fast. On the left, I'm adding some light wash of sap green to add base color for the green leaves. Now let's add some sap green on the right to add some base color for the green colour leaves. Most of the time I use the tape of the brush as it helps me to add smaller details. Now, let's mix some base color for the background. Here I'm mixing lemon yellow with cadmium yellow. I'm also adding a light wash of cadmium red mixed with crimson red. As this is the first layer, I'm not paying much attention to the details. Now, let's add details to the stones and rocks at the distance. For this, I'm using the mixture of crimson red mixed with intense blue, also known as halo blue. Here I'm diluting the mixture to make it light for the first wash of color. I'm adding this paint at the base of the rocks to show the shadows. Let's quickly add this color to other rocks and stones. Friends, this is all about for this part. In the next part, we will be adding details to the flowing water stream and I see there. 5. Painting the Water Stream: Hello, everyone. Welcome back. In this part, we will paint a beautiful flowing water stream. Before we start our painting, let's clean our brush. Here I'm using a mob brush number zero. Before we start with the painting, let's wet the paper using a damp brush. You can see I'm using a small brush so that I can apply the paint only at the required areas. Here I've applied a good amount of water so that the paper remains wet for a longer period of time. Now let's apply the paint. Here I'm using cadmium yellow mixed with lemon yellow. Now let's quickly apply this mixture to the required area. I'm adding a little bit of cadmium red to the mixture to make it look orange in color. Here I'm applying this paint to the areas which are close to us because the subject which are close to us tends to look more sharper and saturated with a lot of contrast. Now I'm adding some shadows using the same paint. Most of the time I use the tip of the brush so that the paint flows well as required. Now let's mix cadmium red with crimson red. I'm applying this paint to the darker areas to create shadows and reflections. I'm still using the same mob brush number two to pull some horizontal strokes. Now let's apply some more mixture of crimson red mixed with cadmium red. You can see this mixture is looking dark because the amount of crimson red is more. Let's add some thalo blue, also known as intense blue to the crimson red to make the mixture look more dark. Now I'm adding some horizontal strokes to paint the water waves close to us. Friends, we have completed with this part. Now let's move to the next part where we will be painting the bridge and the rocks. Um, 6. Painting Bridge and Rocks: Hello friends. Welcome back. In this part, we will be painting the bridge and the rocks. Let's start with the bridge first. For this, I will be starting with the mob brush number zero and applying some water to make the paper wet. I'm applying the water thoroughly so that my paint flows well once I start with the painting. Let's quickly mix some ultramarine blue with crimson red. Now this mixture looks like purple. Also keep in mind that this mixture is quite dilute with less amount of pigments. Now I'm increasing some crimson red to make the mixture look red so that we can add variation to the painting. I'm applying this mixture using the tip of the brush, and the brush which I'm using is a mob brush number zero. Once you are done with this, we will apply some more paint to the area where we want the bridge to look more dark. For this, let's pick some more paint and apply it to the area as you can see. Now these dark patches would give our painting a natural feel just like the old rustic bridge would look like. I'm adding this to paint the shadows formed by the leaves. Now let's add a few more drops of paint to add some texture to the bridge. Friends, we have completed painting the first layer of the bridge. Now let's start with the painting of the rocks. I have cleaned my brush and now I'm applying water to wet the area, to apply first wash of paint. As this is the first layer, I will apply a very light wash of lemon yellow. But before that, let's wet the paper to all the areas covering the rocks. Here I'm taking some lemon yellow and adding some water to make it dilute. As the overall painting is based on the autumn scenery, therefore, adding a light wash of lemon yellow to the stones and rocks would actually bind the painting together, giving the rocks that warm reflection reflecting from the yellow and orange leaves. Frince we are done with this, now let's move on to the next part where we will be adding details to the trees behind. 7. Adding Details to the Trees: Hello, everyone. Welcome back. In this part, I will be painting the trees in the background. Before we start the painting, let's clean the palette. For this, I will be using a dam brush. Now, let's start the painting. Here I'm taking a little bit of cadmium red and then mixing it with lemon yellow to get a light orange. Now to apply the paint, I'm using a mob brush number zero as this is a thin brush. It will help us adding smaller leaves and branches. For painting the leaves, I'm using a very simple technique, just adding small drops of paint and then interconnecting them to form a bunch of leaves. As we move forward, we will apply and add variation to the leaves by adding different color tones to the reds. Now I'm painting some dark orange leaves by adding a little bit more cadmium red to the mixture. Some of the portions, I'm just adding a block of paint to cover that area in dark color, not adding much details to it. Let's add a few more dots to paint the tree leaves. I'm using the tip of the brush to add the paint to the tree leaves. Now, let's draw some more leaves. For this, I'm taking a very light mixture of cadmium red. Instead of drawing each leaf, I have applied a patch of paint, then adding few dots of paint to add leaves. Now, these dark patches of paint also helps the paint to get its shadows area. Now, let's add some green leaves using sap green. Here I'm adding some sap green to the dilute cadmium red. The intensity of cadmium red is not enough. This is the reason the paint is still green. But adding sap green to cadmium red gives sap green that filter which is required and helps sap green to bind well with the painting. Let's add some sap green directly. I try to add few drops of paint and then interconnect them to form tree leaves. For painting these tree leaves, I'm using am brush number zero. I'm covering a large part with green to show this area is in shadow. Let's add a few more dots of paint. I'm starting with more darker tone of leaves. Before we start, let's clean our brush. Now let's mix some cadmium red with crimson red to get a dark red colour. While applying the paints, I'm trying to apply patch of paint first and then applying drops of paint. I'm continuing this method to be in the rest of the leaves. So while painting these three leaves, try to paint them in variation for some of the potion, try to add less of water. So this will help to create some darker and saturated leaves. Whereas for some of the potion, you can mix a lot of water to create some less vibrant layers of paint. So this help the painting to look more natural and realistic. I'm still using the mixture of crimson red mixed with cadmium red, as you can see. Let's mix some more mixture of these colors. While painting the tree leaves, try to paint them narrow at the edges to show smaller leaves and branches. Now I'm blocking the area using the mixture of crimson red and cadmium red. Let's add some shadows by painting the dark colour leaves. Now, let's add some dark colour leaves to paint the shadows. You can see this mixture is quite dark and saturated with less amount of water in it. Now, let's add a few more dark tones. I'm still using the small brush to paint these tree leaves. If you want, you can use a narrow round brush as well. Now, let's clean the brush. Now it's time to paint the rocks and stones. For this, I'm taking the mixture of crimson red and adding intense blue to it. But before that, let's apply paint to the rocks. Here I'm using a Be stone of cadmium red. Now, let's mix some crimson red and thalo blue, also known as intense blue. Here I'm using a crimson red more to keep the mixture on the red side. Now, this light wash of crimson red and halo blue adds shadows to these rocks and stones. While adding this color tone, try to be a little irregular to add a sense of realisticness to the painting. As the overall painting is towards red, therefore, adding crimson red to the shadows of the rocks, help them to bind well with the painting. I'm also adding lines with this mixture of paint to separate them as individual rocks. Let's quickly add these shadows to the other rocks as well. I'm using the same mixture of paint to draw the shadows of the rocks on the left. This is a second layer of color separating the light and the shadows on the rocks. This is a mixture of crimson red and halo blue, also known as intense blue. For this rock, I'm adding a wash of halo blue to make them even more dark. This also helps in adding darker tones to the shadows which is close to us. Once we are done with this, we will add some crimson red to add warmth to the rocks and stones. Now I'm painting these small stones with a mixture of crimson red and halo blue. Friends, I hope you have enjoyed this part. Now let's move on to the next part where I will add shadows and reflection to the water stream. 8. Adding Details to the Water Stream: Hello friends. Welcome back. In this part, we will be painting the shadows and reflections of the water stream. Let's start with the paints. For painting this water stream, I'm using a mob brush number zero. As you can see, I'm starting by applying a very light wash of cadmium red at the background to draw the shadows of the trees. While applying the paints, I'm using the tip of the brush. Now I'm picking up some extra paints using the tip of the brush. Now let's supply a layer of water before we start adding the reflection of the bridge to make the paper wet. Here I'm taking some cadmium red and then mixing it with crimson red, and also adding a little bit of ultramarine blue. You can see this mixture is little dark and also has a tint of purple in it, which helps in adding darker tones. While adding the shadows of the bridge, we will try to add a little curved shadows so as to match the curve of the bridge. Here I'm adding some more crimson red and ultramarine blue to make the mixture even more dark and saturated. We are almost done with adding the shadows to the bridge. Now let's add shadows to the rocks and stones nearby. It's time to add an additional layer of darkness by using the mixture of crimson red mixed with thalo blue. I'm using horizontal brush strokes to add colors to the reflection of the bridge. At the base of the bridge, I'm making the mixture even more dark. Now let's add reflection to the water waves. For this, I'm using the same mixture of crimson red mixed with thalo blue. Here I'm applying water to make the mixture dilute so that it covers large part of the stream at the foreground. Now I'm adding some horizontal brush strokes to paint the flowing water waves. Let's take some ultramarine blue. Now I'm mixing some crimson red with ultramarine blue to add dark shadows and reflections of the rocks in the flowing water stream. You can see I'm adding some small horizontal strokes to draw water waves of the stream. Here I'm increasing the saturation as well as the darkness of the paint by adding more of the ultramarine blue to make the mixture even more dark. This is the third layer of paint where we will apply dark tones to add final layer of depth in the painting. As the paper is about to dry, adding this layer of paint helps in getting hard edges and reflections. Here I'm using the tip of the mob brush number zero, which helps in adding some sharp lines. Let's add a few more strokes of paint to draw the reflections. Bladding this paint, try not to be that precise because in real world, water does not flow in order, so they create their own way and they have their own behavior. Let's add shadows to the stones which are at the distance far away at the background. Now, let's add a few more paint strokes before we end up with this session. In the next part, we will be painting the bridge in detail and I see you there. 9. Working on the Details of the Bridge: Hello, everyone. Welcome back. In this part, we will add details to the bridge. I'm starting my painting using around brush number E, which is a synthetic brush. Here I'm taking some ultramarine blue and then mixing it with crimson red. Now, this time, the saturation as well as the color pigment will be more. I'm starting by adding the shadows under the bridge. Now this area is getting less of the sunlight. Therefore, we'll make it dark using the mixture of crimson red mixed with ultramarine blue. You can see that though we are adding the shadows, this layer is not that dark. It is quite transparent, but the amount of color pigment is more than the previous layer. Now let's make it more dark by adding more of the ultramarine blue in the mixture of crimson red and ultramarine blue. The curve under the bridge where it becomes more narrow, I have added the darkest tone of paint to show that this area is getting less of the sunlight and reflection. Now let's paint the fence of the bridge using the mixture of ultramarine blue mixed with crimson red. Here I'm using the same round brush number eight to draw the fence of the bridge. Now let's add some vertical lines using the same mixture of ultramarine blue mixed with crimson red. Now, let's add natural arches and joints between the rocks of the bridge using the same mixture of ultramarine blue mixed with crimson red. To paint these gaps, I'm using the same round brush number eight, which is a synthetic brush. I'm starting by painting the curve over the tunnel. Now I'm making the mixture even more dark by adding intense blue, also known as halo blue to the mixture of crimson red and ultramarine blue. Here I've started my painting by drawing the broken lines, as you can see, so as to confirm the shape. Once the shape is confirmed, we will interconnect those lines. Now the area between the curve of the tunnel and the curve of the arches increases as it comes towards right to show that the area which is close to us seems to look wider and bigger. Now let's add lines and gaps to separate these rocks. Always use the tip of the brush to create these sharp lines and edges. Let's quickly complete this. Now we will paint the rocks which have been placed horizontally. For this, we will add lines in horizontal directions, as you can see. At the same time, we will be adding some vertical strokes to separate these rocks from each other. To paint all these arches and gaps, I'm using the mixture of three colors. That is crimson red, mixed with ultramarine blue and intense blue. To make my painting look more natural, I am bringing some variation between the gaps of these horizontal lines. This will give an effect of natural man made rock bridges that we see in nature. Let's quickly add some more horizontal lines. Here I'm interconnecting all these lines by adding small brush strokes so that they come together to create harmony. Now, let's add some vertical strokes of this paint. Friends, we have almost completed this part. Now let's add few more brush strokes before we end up with this session. I'm adding a second layer of dark tone under the bridge using the mixture of crimson red and intense blue. I'm also adding some horizontal lines to draw the arches of the rocks under the bridge using the same paint. So friends, this is all about for this part. In the next part, we will be painting the shadows of the tree leaves and I see you there. 10. Adding Shadows to the Tree Leaves: Hello friends. Welcome back. In this part, we will add shadows to the tree leaves. Here I'm taking some crimson red and will add intense blue to it, also known as halo blue. I'm using a round brush number six to draw some smaller leaves. Here I'm using some pigments of crimson red to make the mixture more red. To draw the leaves, I'm using the same technique, adding paint dots and then interconnecting them. Let's quickly add some more tree leaves. I'm keeping these tree leaves dark in color to show that they are away from the sunlight, getting less of the light. We will not overdo the brush work using this color. We will keep the paints fresh with a combination of light and dark tones. Let's mix some more crimson red and intense blue. You can see I have kept this mixture dark and saturated, adding less of the water while mixing it. Most of the time I use the tip of the brush to draw these smaller leaves. Now let's take some crimson red and add intense blue to it. Here I'm taking intense blue more to make the mixture dark so that I can use it to paint the tree trunks. To get the dark mixture is by adding burn sienna, that is brown to the intense blue if you don't want to use crimson red. Now let's add some branches using the mixture of crimson red mixed with intense blue. Let's clean the brush before we move to other paint pigments. Now I'm adding some oranges and red tones to the leaves. I'm using the wash of crimson red, that is already there on the palette. Let's add some more tree trunks and branches. You can see I'm using the same brush to paint these branches by putting less pressure on the brush. Now let's add the tree trunk on the left using the same dark mixture of crimson red mixed with intense blue. O. You can see I'm adding these tree trunks by keeping a gap in between, leaving the portion unpainted. When we keep a gap, while painting the trunks, this actually give us effect of real tree where the trunks is visible only when it is not obstructed by the tree leaves. I'm removing this portion of the tree trunk to show the gap in them. For this, I'm using some water. Now let's mix crimson red and intense blue to paint some tree trunks and branches. By increasing or decreasing the pressure on the brush, we can bring variation in the thickness of the branches and trunks. Now let's add some thin branches. We will paint these branches wider at the base close to the trunk and as it moves away, we will paint them thinner. Friends, this is all about for this part. In the next part, we will add shadows to the rocks and I see there. 11. Working on the Shadows of the Rocks and Stones: Hi, everyone. Welcome back. In this part, we will work on the shadows of the rocks and stones. Let's mix some crimson red with intense blue, also known as thalo blue. Let's apply this paint in between the rocks to separate them from each other. I'm applying this paint to show broken and uneven surfaces on the rock. Now, the brush which I'm using is a round brush number six. This is a synthetic brush. Now, let's apply some paint to separate these rocks from each other. The mixture which I'm using is of crimson red mixed with intense blue. While adding the shadows, don't be that precise as this will help the painting to look more natural. Now let's apply this mixture. I'm also adding a little bit of water to make the edges of the paint soft, as you can see. Let's continue the same color to draw the edges between the rocks. While adding these thin lines, try to use a smaller number brush as this will help you to add fine and sharp strokes of paint. Now let's quickly draw some more lines. At some of the areas, you can also add wider strokes of paint to show large part of the rocks is in shadow. Now here I'm using this paint to draw details like dark scars and marks on the rocks. It's time to add some more lines to draw these separating lines. I'm adding some more minute dots and lines to paint the marks on the rocks, as you can see. I'm adding dark strokes of paint and making it white to add volume to the rocks. Now let's apply some paint at the base of the rock. Friends, this is all about for this part. In the next part, we will add some final details and I see you there. 12. Adding Final Details: Hi, friends. Welcome back. In this part, we will work on the final details. Let's start by applying light wash of cadmium red. Here I'm using a round brush number six. Now, let's paint some light colour leaves. For this, I'm applying the mixture of lemon yellow, mixed with cadmium yellow and cadmium red. Now, take some mixture of lemon yellow, and cadmium red. Once we are done, we will clean the brush. It's time to add some more shadows to the small rocks using the same round brush number six. Here I'm using the mixture of crimson red mixed with intense blue. Now I'm painting the lines in between them to separate each rock from the other. Let's quickly add some more shadows. Now I'm also adding a little bit more intense blue. Here I'm using the tip of the brush, as you can see, to paint these sharp lines. Let's clean the brush and apply light wash of lemon yellow mixed with cadmium red. Now I'm mixing some sap green with viridian green. Here I'm using small dot technique to paint these small leaves. Let's take some more viridian green. I'm adding these dark leaves to add contrast to the painting. Now, let's clean the brush and take some mixture of crimson red mixed with intense blue. A. Now let's add another layer of shadows to the rocks. I'm adding this layer to make the shadow area towards pink color because of the reflection from the leaves. If you want, you can also add a touch of light blue. But as the surrounding is towards the red colour, I'm adding a very light wash of cadmium red to paint shadows on the rocks. Now I'm mixing some crimson red and intense blue. I'm using this mixture to paint the water waves and to make them even more dark. Here I'm using the mix of sharp and wide lines, as you can see. Now, let's add shadows and reflections of the rocks in the water. It's time to add some sharp thin lines to draw the water ripples. This tone is quite dark as the amount of pigment and saturation is more. You can see this mixture is towards blue as the amount of intense blue is more in the mixture. Let's add some more water ripples. To paint the sharp lines, I'm using a thin brush, as you can see, and also I'm using the tip of the brush. To make the painting interesting, don't try to overdo the brush work. Here I'm adding the reflection of the bridge in detail, reducing the speed of my brush to create some accurate lines as required. Now I'm adding some dark shadows in between the rocks using the mixture of crimson red mixed with intense blue. Let's add a few more details before we end up with this session. So friends, I hope you have enjoyed this session. In the next part, I will share my final thoughts and I see you there. 13. Adding Details and Sharing Final Thoughts: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the last session of this painting class. Let's remove the masking tape to reveal our painting. Here I'm pulling the masking tape outward to avoid any damage to the painting. Now the painting is ready to be framed, but before that, let's apply the last details. Here I'm taking the wash of crimson red and intense blue to add shadows to the bridge formed by the tree leaves. I'm applying this layer as a thin wash of paint, as you can see. I'm adding these shadows in the form of tree leaves to make my painting look more natural and realistic. Let's quickly add some more shadows using the same paint before we end up with this session. Friends, I hope you have enjoyed this painting class. If you have any queries, feel free to ask me in the discussion tab. Also, don't forget to share your paintings in the project section. I will try my best to go through each of your artworks and try to comment so that it helps you to understand the subject well. I will soon come up with another painting till then take care and stay blessed.
