Watercolor Winter Landscape

1. Introduction : Hello, guys. Welcome to my class. Since when does a Here? I thought I'd show you how to paint of inter landscape. One thing have loud about this landscape is you get to experiment with various color combinations. If that doesn't work, you can always go from monochrome. But before that will discuss a few tips and techniques to get you started. And by the end of this class, he will not only be able to paint this landscape with ease, but also it would love the entire process way. So we thought further delay. Let's get started. 2. Art Supplies : for the paper. I prefer rush 100% cotton, three energies in paper. I love the texture of the paper. And it absorbs lots off water on It stays wet for a long time, which is very important for me. My second best would be Fabbiano Tree Energy use, um, 100% Gordon paper. All these works that I have you are on February. No. So, yes, you can use this. Still not let me show you a few off my other works that I have done a notch paper. That's it for the papers. Now we'll talk about pains. Uh, for pains. I used a mix off Wango purple on my other leg. While I was playing with close A few weeks ago, I discovered distress tipping, But know that you can use any color combination. Mix the powerful with my the lake until you see the beautiful, rustic, a lot off. Think and you're done for the lake. I used white knights. Indigo. That is it about the pains. Now let's move on to the brushes 3. A Few Techniques : Before we start with our class project, we will discuss a few techniques first about sketching. We are drawing only frozen ground on a few snow patches, starting a scourge by dividing your paper into two horizontal house. This small line in between helps to keep you and check about perspective. If you wish, you can keep drawing straight horizontal lines for then die sketch of the frozen ground. But once we are done with the ground, you can erase these horizontal lines. Wait, you're done with the sketching. Next about reflections. We are going to be painting a lot off reflections in this landscape. First, it would be to paint quickly on pain while the paper is still second. I'm more pain. Try to the bottom of the ground or a snow patch and gradually toned on the color with a damn fresh. This is the part with a quality paper will come in handy because you need your paper Toby Rhett until you blend the reflections completely with the background and you're done with the reflections. Last a powder Paint trees under death take a synthetic brush. Another new why in a minute, dry loo strokes and you don't have to stress much here on when you're done, take the damn fresh and then just blunder ages to the ground. This may look like a small step, but it's very important for a tree to look realistic way. With all those techniques we have learned, let's paint a thumbnail sketch. We'll start with the scotching way. - Now that the sketching is done, I'm taking Brian's grave and I'll start painting the background on the lake way, way off the pain. We'll talk more about layering in the actual video. - I can give another tapir that is, make sure the ground under late meet with the triangular shape like that. If not, take the brush on. Just draw a straight line along way. Put some pain on the frozen ground. Now let's more onto painting trees way. - Now it's reflections, and it's my favorite part, - Uh , way. I have talked about using synthetic brushes at the beginning of the video. It's because I believe when you paint with synthetic brushes, you have more control over your breast rocks. So I used them for detailing purposes. We are done with this video, and I hope those techniques and tips we have talked about was simple enough to follow. And now well, more to the class project 4. Class Project - Sketching : sketching. Follow the instructions we have talked about in previous techniques. Video. I'm going for a very basic sketching off ground. A few snow patches here and there. - Uh , way. Now that the sketching is done, we will move on toe painting the background in the next video. 5. Class Project - Base Layers : start by reading the paper with clean brush and clean water. I'm using breast wrong number four more brush. Make sure to keep the frozen ground on the snow patches dry. - I'm adding stepping color to the background way. This looks rather done, so I will add another layer of the way. Small tip. If you're adding layers, make sure your paper is that are not tried. We'll start working on the lake now. The paper is still work. I will start adding the indigo. This part is a little tricky. Start with lower value off the color and then later more to the highest value. I haven't show you how this'd is the lower value. Make sure you're not adding the color, so there's no patches way off. Take more color unless water stock idea that they just off the ground way. Keep blending the color and make sure your paper is still that if you are using 100% quantum paper, we shouldn't be a problem because cotton paper stays with for a long time. I'm just making sure nothing looks are here. Just keep landing until it feels right for you. Uh, all right now I took seitan Number six Natural hair brush and I'm going to get started on Reflections. First, our large off paint at the bottom of the snow patch on drag. It were tickling video brush on just blended with the lake, and we're done. 6. Class Project - Frozen Ground : Let's pain the ground. I'm taking life Indigo. I'm painting the shadows. Hell, take the pain on blended a day just after your scratchings. Things kind of gives it a three d effect way. You don't have to be very specific. You just relax and play with your brush way. That is it. I think we're done here. Let's move on to the next video. 7. Class Project - Trees and Details : like a start adding trees and branches. I am using a synthetic fresh. Remember, they're helping painting shop details I'm like we had talked about in the techniques video. Always blender trees at the bottom with the ground. As you can see, that small step makes the trees look so realistic. Way, way, way I will have the trees on the other side as well. Way Ah fear trays in the lake we owe we owe way . Final step Make sure there is all the pencil sketch on we had done. 8. Final Thoughts: Well, that was it for that to two years. I hope you enjoyed getting to know the process on how to train this window landscapes. I would really appreciate it if you shared your reviews. I'm excitedly looking forward. Of course, where your class projects a small suggestion. If I may, I would encourage you to experiment with various color combinations for your class projects . I have done that and absolutely loved it. So happy painting, my guys.
