Lithium pizza, the glass ceiling Jupiter sized integrase is beautiful. Il hours. In the next video. 2. The Supplies: Let's take a look at this blast that we are going to be using during this class. We need water tower brushes. I will be using the number six round brush. And I have another monitor for details n other things. You will need paper, watercolor paper.

Make your own color tab. And let's start with the glass. See you in the next video. 3. Cherry Blossom and Buds: This is the most important part on this class because I am showing you how to create every petal in just three stroke widget brush. Do pay attention and do learn how easy it is. First take a very close look at this reference picture of Buddha or cherry blossoms, and then we can proceed to start emulating disputed for blooms. I am using my brush, my round brush. Number six, I have clean water. Aim my tower. I have diluted the watercolor, permanent rose. I get a very light pink, which is the main color for cuda blossoms. This is how we do it. First row away from me, second stroke away from me. And then a little stroke in the middle. Again. Fit Stroke, second stroke. The stroke. Try to live this space in between the two fears strokes. Because this flower has this shape, like a hurt and they don't touch this size of the petal. We're constructing this flower and the upper side and then the two other petals are going to be on the downside. And four to make them, we're going to do the opposite. Making this the fittest drove me. Although what's due in the second story, also dollars due. And then the third one, we have our famous cherry blossoms. And this is so easy, but we need to practice. You can play with the intensity of the rose tone or color that you're using. But mostly these flowers are light pink or even white. It is still wet and I am using my green some lake to make the center of the flower pooling the color to the center. From the side to the center. Then I will let this dry. We are going to be making in this second try. So you can practice a little bit. Again, I will explain this Slow Food Drug. Second stroke. The stroke, you'll see this a little bit more of color. Or stroke, second stroke. The stroke, you can always correct the size of the petal with the brush. Again, we are going to be working from up to down. We form our flowers in this, this motion. Now we can do the other two petals. Barry slowly, fill stroke. Then in the middle we can fill with color. The last one. We have our second flower. These are looking very natural. The flowers in real life are very, very delicate. They go damaged very easily. With a window with the rain. They can delete, break down super-fast. Now they glean some lake, the center, pulling the color from this side to the center of the flower. Like this. Very gentle and easy. When we're ready, we're letting this that I completely. And then we can proceed to paint the bots. How easy it is. Now I missed paint or bats within my brush in the water and then beginning a little bit of color. And this is very easy. We're painting 801 and this is a cherry blossom. You can play with the size or with the intensity of the color. Now we're painting the stem with our glean, some lake. Remember this is just practice. So we can see here how we want the density of the quarter. If we need to correct, we can do it. Now. The second one, we can paint 801. Then this theme. Sometimes we pick up too much water with a brush, but that is no nothing to worry about that we'd come pick up those excess of quarter with a brush, just placing art brush on the due date that code, and then cleaning it with our tower frequency. Then we can move the watercolor detection we want. We're going to add more Editor window of a mode of pigment in this case. Or, or well, as we want. Brushes stood best tool in this case, you can pick up more color. And you will see that that is sort of this buried, clean this up. But you can do the same with the other one if you want, or you can wait until it's dry and see how it turned out. The best. The best characteristic of a watercolor is to complete really well with them. This is how these look when it is dy. Now we are going to proceed the paint, some details on the middle of blossoms. When they glue literally that i, with Parkinson's lake, we're going to make their filaments on the center of the cherry blossoms. Then we will be adding the Berlin with a deadline. Or flower will be ready. Do you can also use here a gold if you prefer, or white it if more convenient for you. I didn't just using the more basic colors with watercolors and I had not even outlining my flowers. Because I just want to share with you how you can make these little flowers just with your brush and watercolors. But of course you can go more with your intuition and use other mixes tools in this painting. Painting looks more your style. For the purpose of this class, I am just keeping it very easy and basic, using only watercolors, but I have these may better. So I hope to have fun creating many, many, many, many petals and blossoms. Lessons. Just made one, I thank goodness, domain many blossoms and you will see how easy, how natural it will become for your hands to paint this beautiful flowers. Many of them. Look at this. I will see you in my next video. 4. Cherry Blossoms : It is time to do both as your knowledge and your learning into practice. We are going to be creating this beautiful painting using a cluster of seven cherry blossoms and some petals because the wind blow them away and they are dancing in the sky. Let us start with placing are clustered of cherry blossoms here in the bottom left. And then some the small cherry blossom petals flowing on the wind. As we learned in the past video, we started making our food, spit them like this drug. A second stroke, which struck then the second one. Everyone, This is the main part of the flower and then the other two aren't on the down part of our flower, how easy it is. Then the center with the green some lake. While this is drying, do we are going to proceed painting the next six? Cherry blossoms. The first time I saw cherry blossoms being so loved was when we went to Japan the first time. And they have something that is called Hannah. And thus is it like going to see the cherry blossoms and they have like big, nice and under the trees is so beautiful. You can feel the love for this 3s and how the culture take care of them. It's really a nice experience and I wish all of you can experience this one. Now, if that painting, single petals of cherry blossoms, you can make this into the belief in the places you feel like painting them and add more flowers that you feel like you to make your picture more cohesive and harmonic. Where we are, we are going to be proceeding to paint the details on the center of the cherry blossoms with my crimson lake, I will be doing the p elements and then add in the pollen on the flowers. Before I started painting in the filaments, please make sure that the cherry blossoms are completely dry. If they are not dry, then the color, the watercolor with mics. And do we need to correct that using paper? Picking up the color from the from the center. So now we're painting this completely dry. And lady in, as you can see, I added some orienting the center of the flower so to make it more beautifully. And I really liked this delegate pattern that we created together today. I hope you enjoyed this design and I can wait to see what you create. Please upload your design to the class project for this class. And I will love to see blood denote that it is beautiful. I will see you in the next video. 5. Cherry Blossoms Branch: Now we're going to be a little bit further with this design and we're going to make a branch of cherry blossoms. Let us start by looking at the paper and deciding how we want to make this branch. I will be placing some cluster of cherry blossoms and then some buds on the sides, and then the branch of the tree, of the cherry blossom tree. It is pretty simple. We are going to start painting first the flowers. Then we are going to be placing bats and then adding the branch between those little cluster that we are going to be forming along the side where we decide to paint or branch. By now I do have may realize that it is very important to practice how to make these blossoms. Then you can start designing. What do you want to create with them? As you can see, I'm placing another cluster as motor one and adding the center and just at the blossoms. While they are drying, I will be making the buds and then I will be at the branch. We finish are designed this way. Very slow process. Take it, take your time and coordinate tasks you need and don't rush. I think this is enough. But for the moment and now we're going to proceed the paint, our branch using our Barn, Amber and our burnt sienna to make the banana of the cherry blossom cherry tree. In this case, just place your brush on the paper and pull it down the line in vertical manner. Then add a bear little branches to the buds because they are just blooming with the spring. Add more color if you need. And try to leave some white spaces between the lines that you're making and just pull the color down. And you will see that this will take the form morning guys. And when it dries, you can correct if you need more pigment or less pigment. As always. You can also use a brown marker if you prefer. But I think you can do it with the brush. I will be adding some green leaves on the cluster of the SEC Buddha or cherry blossoms. It's always try to be mindful above outer painting. And if you notice that you need more blossoms, some world like here, I am adding some other cherry blossoms. I have cherry blossoms on those spaces that I think they will be vertical excessive for NA and adding them in a little darker color. Like newer blooms. And also the wind has blown in. Some petals are flowing in the wind and dancing happily because it is spring. Let your creativity flows. And remember this is your way of expressing yourself and it is very important that you keep following imagination. I think this ready now, I will be then adding decorative leaves. In this permanent green that is very bright and very spring like it wouldn't be make it the painting more cohesive and more harmonized. I didn't, I did them between the clusters, so they're blooming dead as well. Just a little bit of color pop. When did this dry? Then I will add the filaments and the details on the center of my cherry blossoms. You can do the same as I am doing here, this type of branch or you can make a tree if you prefer. Do gun played with the size of the blues using a bigger brush or a smaller brush that I'm using here and recommending you to use. But I led that decision because it do are the master of your paintings. For me, this is done in that very beautiful. I like the contrast on the colors and I really like this flower pretty much.
