1. Introduction: Hi friends, Thanks for
joining the class. My name is Shiba. I'm an Artist
instructor and a Utuber. In today's painting class, I will paint a
beautiful water for landscape painting
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 paintings 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 Used: Hello, everyone. Welcome back. In this part, I will discuss
the materials I use for my watercolor paintings,
starting with the paper. The paper which I'm using is Fabriano Artistico
watercolor paper, 300 GSM, cold pressed. I'm using a cold press
paper because it creates beautiful bouquet
effects in your painting. And it does not dry out soon and gives us more time to
work on the paintings. This comes in cut out
sheets of various sizes, but here I'm using
an A five size. The colors which I'm
using is from Winsor and Newton Cotman, student
grade watercolors. This color is very
good for anyone who wants to start their
beautiful art journey. The names of the colors on my palette is displayed
on the screen. As you can see, I have replaced the white color with cobalt
turquoise from white nights. As I don't use white
in my painting, for the brushes, I'm using
three mob brushes of size 02 and 4.2 synthetic
round brushes, number 4.8 These
three mob 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. These two synthetic brushes
are good to add details. You can use any round
brush you have. Just see that the tapes should
be sharp so that you can add details for
drawing the sketch. I'm using a mechanical
pencil with 0.7 lead. If you don't have a
mechanical pencil, you can use normal
HB pencil as well. This is a needed
eraser that I will use to erase my
sketch when required. I'm also using a half
inch masking tape to tape down my paper at
the time of painting, so that my paper doesn't get
buckled when applying water. This is a jar of
water if you want, you can use two jars of water, one to clean the brush
and the other one as a mixing medium hair dryer to dry my painting
when required. I'm also using a
cotton cloth to wipe any extra color pigments from the brush while
doing the painting. Friends, these are all
the materials that I will be using for
my painting class. Quickly grab and join me
and I see in the next part.
3. Basic Sketch: Hello everyone. Welcome back. In today's painting video, we're going to paint
beautiful waterfall painting using water colors. Let's start. The first thing we will
do is apply masking tape. You can use any
masking tape you have, or you can use
washy tape as well. Let's supply the masking tape
on all the four corners. The use of this masking
tape is to keep the paper straight as we
apply layers of water. Basically, this masking
tape will avoid buckling of paper
once it becomes wet. Applying masking tape
is the first thing that I do whenever I
start my painting. The paper which
I'm using is from Fibriano Artistico
watercolor paper, 300 GSM, cold pressed. Once we are done applying
the masking tape, we will start with
the sketching. For sketching, I'm using a
mechanical pencil with lead 0.7 You can use simple
pencil as well. You don't have to have the mechanical pencil
for this painting. Now let's start with the sketch. I'm starting my painting by
drawing the rocks first. This place is for
the flowing water. Now let's draw the rocks
on the right side. This rocks are a little
bigger than the others. Try to keep the shape
natural by making them a little irregular in
shape the way I'm doing, we are done with the first one. Let's draw some rocks
on the left side. While painting these rocks, try to place them behind so that the first rock looks bigger. And in the front, while
painting these rocks, we will try to keep them a little round in
shape from the top. Also, we will put
some cracks and cuts the way we see on the
rocks in the real world, you can see. Now I'm adding some pencil lines
on the top to mark the areas of highlights and also for the scars that we see
on the stones and rocks. This is the area from where we will be showing
the flowing water. Now let's add some
rocks here on the top. This is the small rock and this is the portion from where
the water will be coming. Now the water is flowing here and creating small water waves. Let's draw some lines to
indicate the water waves. I will also draw
some reflections, which I will do in
the latter part. You must have seen
some small stones and rocks near the
waterfall the same way. Let's draw some here as well. Try to keep the shape a little irregular so that our
painting looks more natural. This is the place where
I will add a tree. For drawing the trees,
just draw the outline, defining the basic shape that you have an idea regarding
the shape of the tree. Just outline the tree
and the rest of the part we will see when we will
be applying the paints. This is our tree. This area consists of trees
which is at the back, and this is the flowing water which is moving down,
forming the waves. Our sketch is complete, nothing more is required. Let's move on to a next part, where we will be making the sketch light and start painting.
4. Painting The First Layer: Hello, everyone. Welcome back. Let's start with the painting. The first thing we will do
before we start painting is to make the sketch light
using a needed eraser. This will keep the
painting fresh by removing any extra lead that can come and make the paints dark
while painting. I'm starting my
painting by using brush number four,
which is a mob brush. Let's paint the
upper portion first, which consists of
mainly the trees. Let's supply water to wet the paper before we
apply the paints. Now wet the paper well, by adding two to three
layers of water, you can see I'm applying the water only on
the upper portion, leaving all the stones
and the rocks behind. Once you're done, we
will start painting. We will apply lighter
colors to this portion. For this, I'm using the
mixture of cadmium yellow mixed with lemon yellow and
a little bit of sap green. You can see that the overall
mixture looks yellow, as I've added a very little
amount of sap green. Now I've added some
more cadmium yellow. Let's add some more sap green. Now let's increase the
amount of sap green. The trees which are on the left, I want them to look
a little darker. For this, I'm increasing
the amount of sab green basically
in this portion. Let's complete painting
the background by painting the
unpainted wet areas. This is the first layer of
the background and we have completed painting it none. Let's paint the flowing
water of the water fall. For this, we will apply the
water only in this portion. We'll wet this area the same way we did for
the background. Two to three layers of
water is sufficient. Before we start our painting,
let's start the paint. The first color I'm using is cobal turquoise
from white nights. I'm changing my brush
to brush number zero. Now to paint the water, I need a little bit
of Viridian green. And we'll add this to cobal
turquoise from white nights. Then we will apply
it to the paper, the water we have
already applied. The only thing we have
to do is to place the colors correctly
in the required areas. Let's supply the
light mixture of Viridian green mixed
with cobal turquoise. As you can see, now I'm adding some
Viridian green to add some contrast to
the flowing water. Let's supply the paint
horizontally to give an effect of ripples
and water waves. You can see I'm making it more dark by increasing the
amount of viridian green. Now we will add a
little touch of yellow. Let's add some lemon
yellow to the water, and blend it with the
layers of ferritin green. Now it's time to
add some touches of lemon yellow to
show the reflections. You can see how beautiful
the water is looking. The same thing you have to
do at some of the portions. We will also pick the
colors using a dam brush. To add the reflections, let's pick some more
color using a dam brush. Also, make sure that every
time you pick the color, you have to make your brush dry. Let's give some
highlights here as well. For this, I'm using
the same damp brush. We're done with
the first layer of the background and
the flowing water. Now we will start with the
painting of the rocks, but before that, let's
make the painting dry and remove any extra
water from the paper. There was a little bit of water which I picked up using brush. Now let's make the painting dry. Here I'm using a hair
dryer to dry my painting. Friends, we're done
with this part, Let's move onto our next part. We will be painting
the rocks and stones, and I see you there.
5. Painting The Rocks: Hello everyone, Welcome back. In this part, we
will pain the rocks. First, we will
apply water to wet the area the area
where we have applied. The water has now become damp. Whatever the color
we will apply, it will easily get blended. Let's apply the colors
for the lighter areas. We will apply brown directly. As you can see, you can see
while applying the paint, I am using my brush diagonoly. Now let's add some Viridian
green to make the paint dark. We will apply this mixture
only to the dark areas. You can see I've covered
the remaining portion of the rock using mixture of burn Siena mixed
with Viridian green. Let's add some touch of burn
sienna, which is the brown. You have noticed that
the paper was still wet after application
of burn sienna. That was the good time
to add some dark tones using mixture of burn sienna
mixed with viridian green. For the dark shadow areas, we will use mixture of burn sienna mixed with
ultramarine blue. Let's quickly mix this mixture. Now I'm adding some
small brush strokes with dark mixture of burn sienna
mixed with ultramarine blue. We will also apply this paint
at the base of the rock. Now let's supply this mixture of Burn Siena mixed with ultramarine blue at
the base of the rock. I hope you understood
how I've created the rock using only two paints. The first rock is done, we have completed
the first layer. Now let's paint the
other rocks here. I'm using the same technique
before painting the rock. We will wet the rocks
first using water. Once you're done, we will
again mix the same colors. Let's supply burn Siena, which is the brown directly
to the lighter areas. You can see I've left
some of the portion unpainted to show
highlights on the rocks. I'm also adding
little touches of crimson red to make the rock
look little red in color. This will add some
redness to the rocks. And also in real world, every rock has a different
shape and color. Bringing the same thing to your painting will add beauty to it the way we did for
the earlier rocks. Now let's add some
more dark areas using mixture of Burn Siena mixed
with ultramarine blue. I'm adding some rock stars
using the same mixture. Let's add some more lines to draw these cars and the cracks. Now we have done with the rocks, now let's spin the
remaining ones. Let's supply the water. It's time to add a wash
of burn sienna for the lighter areas at this place, I'm adding a touch
of blue to show this portion is in the shade
with less of the sunlight. For this, I'm adding a touch of ultramarine blue and we will keep it fresh by blending
it with the blow layer. You can see how I've added
the blue and blended it only at the edges so that the freshness of the
blue remains intact. Now let's add some shadows. For this, I'm using the mixture of burn sienna,
which is the brown. And mixing it with
ultramarine blue. I'm applying this color
only in the shadow areas. I'm also taking a little bit of crimson red to add
some touches of red. Now let's add some cracks
using the same mixture. Now this is a dark mixture, and adding these
few dots here and there will bring change to the overall beauty
of the painting. Now let's add some
dark strokes of burn sienna mixed with
ultramarine blue. And also between the rocks. We have completed
painting these rocks. Now let's draw the
small rock for this. First we will apply the water. Now I'm adding a touch of burn sienna for
the lighter areas. Just for the
understanding purpose you can see in this area, I have left some of the areas white to show the highlights
and reflections of the sun. Also, in this potion, I
have not applied the pain. This portion will also remain. As for the shadows, I'm using ultramarine blue mixed with burn Siena,
which is the brown. We have completed painting
this rock as well. Now it's time to paint these smaller stones and
rocks on the right side. Let's supply water.
Once it is done, we will apply burn Siena again. Let's paint the other one. Time to add some shadows. Let's use the mixture of burn Siena mixed with
ultramarine blue. You can see how
beautifully we have painted all the
rocks and stones. In the next part, we will add some more shadows and contrasts
to the flowing water. Let's move on to our next part and learn how we can do that.
6. Painting The Flowing Water: Hello everyone, Welcome back. In this part, we
will add details by increasing the contrast
of the flowing water. But before we apply paints, let's quickly clean the palette. Now let's take some
cobal turquoise and add a little bit
of ultramarine blue. Now I will apply the blue on the shadow areas
of the water. You can paint them vertical
the way I am painting. Let's add a little
bit of more details. We have completed this
portion using the mixture of ultramarine blue mixed
with cobal turquoise. Now let's add some shadows
using the mixture of cobal turquoise mixed
with ultramarine blue. You can see that
this layer is quite light as I'm using
more of the water. Let's add a few more lines to paint the waves
using blue color. You can see I've applied
very dilute layer of paint. Let's increase the
contrast by using the mixture of ultramarine blue mixed with Viridian green. We will continue from
the same portion we left as the paint. There is still live. This will also help in
adding some soft blends. You can see I'm painting some horizontal strokes and
connecting them with one another while
applying the paint. Try to keep this layer dilute with each breast stroke. Our painting is coming live. As you can see, we
are done with this. Now let's add some
more Viridian green. The brush which I'm using is
a more brush number zero. Now let's make some mixture of Viridian green mixed
with ultramarine blue. I'm applying this paint below the stones to paint the shadows. And then we will continue this horizontal line to paint
the flowing water waves. While painting these
horizontal lines, you don't have to paint
them too straight. Just draw them freehand so that the painting
looks more natural. I hope you're understanding
how I'm drawing them and at the same time
blending it with each other. If you want, you can add more water ripples by painting the lines
in circular shapes. Also for the paints, I'm using
Viridian green mixed with ultramarine blue to paint the water waves on the
layers of lemon yellow. I'm using the mixture of brown so that the shadows
look warmer in color. Let's take some burn sienna and mix it with the lemon yellow. We will apply the paint
the same way we did for the earlier waves to blend them. Well, I'm taking
the help of water. As you can see, let's make some more mixture of lemon yellow mixed with burn
Siena, which is the brown. Now let's blend
them using water. For this, I'm using
the same brush. This is a mob brush number zero. Now let's add a few
more water waves using the brown mixture Friends, We're done with this part. Let's move on to our next part, where we will be painting
the background tree leaves. I see you there.
7. Painting The Background Leaves: Hello everyone, Welcome back. In this part we will draw the tree leaves in
the background. I'm starting my painting with
a mob brush, number two. This is a mob brush
from rust row brand. Before we start, let's quickly add sap green to our palette. Now let's add some
ultramarine blue to sap green to make the mixture
a little dark in color. Once you are ready
with the mixture, we will start our
painting from the top. You can see I'm
holding my brush loose and my paint is 50% dilute. Now let's supply the paint. The way we draw the
leaves of the trees, I'm leaving some of the gaps to give an effect
of tree leaves. Now let's add some
dark color leaves. For this, I'm taking more
of the ultramarine blue. At the same time, we
will blend this color so that the transition
between them looks even. You can see that the paint
in this area is still active as we have left some of the paint
there so that it does not. Once we have completed
our painting on the top right side, we will again revisit this
area and start our painting. Let's mix the mixture of sap green and ultramarine
blue for the leaves. At some of the portion, I'm just dabbing the brush to
create effect of leaves the same way you can do here. I'm using a negative
painting technique. You can see I'm leaving
some of the portions unpainted to draw the leaves
which are at the front. Let's quickly draw
some more leaves using the same mixture of sap green mixed with ultramarine blue. If you want to draw some
smaller shaped leaves, are better to change the
brush to a smaller round one. But if you want to
draw them loose, then you can do this with
the same brush as I'm using. Let's paint some more leaves
and interconnect them. Time to add some
dark color leaves. For this, I'm increasing the density by taking more
paint and adding less water. Now I'm adding some
smaller leaves and blocking the
area above the rock. You can see that the paint is looking a little
bit towards blue. As the amount of
ultramarine blue is more, let's fill the
background so that our subject at the
front pops out. Here, I'm using the same paint, but as we move down, we will increase
the amount of blue. Now I am applying
ultramarine blue directly, but the color is
dilute in nature. We have completed blocking
the background using paints. Time to add some finer details. For this, I'm using
the tip of the brush. You can see I'm adding
some smaller leaves. Using the tip of the brush, you can see that
the area which is unpainted looks more
appealing and close to us. This is a very good example
of negative painting. Now it's time to add depth
to the background leaves, but before that, let's complete painting of the
leaves at the front. Now this yellow leaves
still needs some depth. Let's add some shadows. For this, I'm using
a round brush, number eight, which
is a synthetic brush. Now let's mix the paint. I'm taking sab green and mixing a little bit of
cadmium yellow to it. Now this mixture
is moved towards yellow with less of
sab green in it, making the overall mixture
a little light in color. Also, the sun rays are coming
from the top left side. Therefore, we will paint
the shadows opposite to it. Let's paint some more shadows
using the same paints. It's time to add a
few more shadows on the top right side
and at the corners. Now let's blend
them using water. For this, I'm using
the tip of the brush. This is all about this part. Let's move on to a next
part where we will be adding our final details,
and I see you there.
8. Adding Final Details: Hello everyone, Welcome back. In this part, we will
add final details to our rocks and our trees. While painting this rock, my camera got stopped. This part didn't got recorded.
I'm very sorry for this. Let me explain what I did. First, we will apply water
to wet the rocks again. Then we will apply
mixture of burn Siena mixed with
ultramarine blue. The dark black tone, which I have applied is
the mixture of burn Siena mixed with ultramarine blue and a little bit
of intense blue. Let's apply this
dark tone to paint the cracks and the scars
on the stones and rocks. Here I'm using a mob
brush number zero. Now let's add some
more cracks for this. The mixture I'm using
is burn siena mixed with ultramarine blue
and intense blue. But the color and the
saturation is quite thick. Let's add some dark color here to paint the
dark color leaves. For this, let's add some blue. But before that, let's
clean the palette. My palette is clean now. Before we apply paint, let's dry our painting
using a hair dryer. I see my paper is dry now let's supply some
dark paint here. Let's take some
ultramarine blue first, and then we will add a little
bit of sap green to it. Now I'm adding a little
bit of intense blue, which is also known as Stl blue. We'll add a little bit
of more sap green. Let's some dark color leaves to show that some of the
leaves are in the shadow. You can see I'm using the tip of the brush to paint these leaves. I'm adding a brush stroke and then interconnecting
with others. Let's add a few more
dark color leaves. These dark color leaves are also adding depth and dimension
in the painting. Actually, this area had
a plain wash of green. By adding a dark tone, it generated interest
in this area. You can see that this area
is looking quite dark as the placement of leaves
are very close to each other, which helps in creating
further depth. Now let's supply a
few more leaves. You can see this
portion is quite dark. Now we need to
balance this portion by adding some dark tone
to the flowing water. For this, I'm using
a round brush. Number eight. The color which I'm using is a mixture of sap green mixed with
ultramarine blue. Let's paint the water waves. It's time to add a
few more touches of green to the flowing water, then our painting
would look complete. Now I'm applying some
dilute brush trooks of sap green mixed
with ultramarine blue. For adding the shadows
to the blue rocks, I'm using the same color. Let's add a few brush strokes
in this area as well. As we are adding these, you can see that the painting is looking more appealing
to the eyes. Let's add some
brush strokes here, but these are quite
light as I'm using a very dilute mixture of sap green mixed with
ultramarine blue. If we have almost
completed our painting, let's add some few more touches before we finalize our painting. Once you're done applying
these brush strokes, we will make this painting
using a hair dryer. We have completed
painting the water waves. Now let's make the painting
dry using a hair dryer. I see this portion still needs some dark tune.
Let's make it dark. But before applying the paint, let's make it wet first
using water for this. The paint I'm taking
is ultramarine blue and some burn Siena,
which is the brown. Once you're happy
with the color tone, we will apply it below the
rocks and add some shadows. You can see after
adding the shadow, the rocks are looking more
appealing to the eyes. Friends, we have
completed a painting, let's move on to a next part, where we will be removing
the masking tape and revealing our painting.
I see you there.
9. Final Thoughts: Hello everyone. Welcome back. Let's remove the masking tape
and reveal our painting. While removing the painting, try to pull the masking tape outward so that it does
not tear the paper. Friends, I hope you've
enjoyed the painting class. If you have any
doubt and queries, feel free to ask me in the
discussion tab given below, I would be happy
to answer those. Also, don't forget to
share your paintings in the project section and I
see you in the next class. Till then, take care
and stay blest.
