About This Class

Hello! and welcome to this new class on painting glowing lights and winter landscapes! 

I love this time of the year - its magical with all the snow and its even more fun to paint these landscapes. In this class we will be trying out three beautiful winter scenes with glowing lights and gorgeous night skies in watercolors!

As always its a beginner friendly class, so even if you are new to watercolors, you are welcome to join in. We cover all the basics, including tips and tricks about getting that glow while painting light. 

We then go on to paint three fun projects that you can checkout in the pic below!

All you need to get started with this class -

  • Watercolors (any brand works - I have added a section on the color palette I have used so that you can match it with the brand you use)
  • Round brushes - based on the size of your paper, you will need one bigger brush for all the background washes and a smaller one for detailing. I have used the rigger brush for the branches of trees etc but you can always use a smaller brush with good tip for the same
  • Watercolor paper - the most imp one - preferably 100 pc cotton and 300 gsm

Anddd a nice hot cup of hot chocolate/coffee/tea to sip on while you dive into this magical winter world.

I hope you join me on this creative adventure! Can't wait to see all the magic you create!

Transcripts

1. About this class: Winters are so magical. As an artist, I've always been fascinated by vendor landscape. I love painting the snow and beautiful night skies, as well as the glowing lights. And this is what this class is all about. And we need that. I'm an artist and educator from India. And in this class we'll be building beautiful when the landscapes, with the focus being on glowing lights. This is a beginner friendly class. So even if you are new to this medium, you're welcome to join in. We'll be covering on the basics of watercolor, along with some special tips and tricks on how to get that blue light. And then we want to create three beautiful projects, glowing lives and winter skies. So I hope you'll join me on this adventure and give these projects try. Let's get started. 2. Materials Needed: For the materials of this class, you'll be watercolor paper. Now, you can go with any plan I am using or Hong Kong and ridges and 100 percent cotton depot. And I've cut them into these five sites. Again, you can go with any science that you're comfortable with. Preferably something that is 300 GSM, 100 percent cotton. This is because we are going to use a lot of wet on wet techniques for the background washes. So you'd need something that can hold up those techniques. So for that, it'll be great to have something that is 300 GSM. And the, a 100 percent cotton paper really helps in there with the techniques will be used. I highly recommend going for something that's represent carbon brushes. Again, based on the size of the paper you're using. Repeat one day cram brash about pressure or the background washes. And smaller medium-sized brush. A little bit of a feeling and all the smaller portion, second half. And then I'm going to be using a regular pressure. Again, this is not really the same brush, but this one kind of makes it easier. Even smaller brush with a very good tape will work just fine. Or if you're comfortable group brush that you're using an ACE has a good day. We can use the same technique, all these smaller branches, Israel. Now, watercolors, I'm using Daniel Smith watercolors. I have a separate section where we discuss all the color palette for this class. And we'll be going through the colors in detail in that section. And then we so washes for all the snow that is these buildings. So a lot of it is just in the end we have snow blizzard, as you'll see in the projects. So for that, I'm using the brush stroke washer. You can use any brand or washer for this, but I recommend using quash and stroke watercolors. But if you don't have it, then you can always use the white watercolor instead. The only couple of that, the watercolors are not as happy and hence they can get diluted. When you're painting on top of the, already painted the darkly, a second tab over here. So I do recommend going over all these flowing and mask to get all these crisp white edges. But that's about it. That's all the materials that you need for this class. So let's get to the next section. 3. Watercolor Basics: In this section, I'll be sharing all the details about the basics of watercolors in case you're new to the medium, don't worry, we have everything in here. So to start with, the basic techniques, we'll start with wet on, wet on wet is when your paper is wet and you add in a wet paint on top of it. So this is fair watercolor takes its own course. It has its own light and it spread like crazy. And sometimes it's hard to conclude, but that's fun about this medium. And that's what for ANA backgrounds. So in general that on that is what will help you create those creamy flowing backgrounds that has wet on, dry is what we had to get the details on. So all the backgrounds that you see over here created using the wet on wet technique. So that's what will give you this kind of flowing and help you create that, do the backup as opposed to the light glow in the foreground. And then you have it on dry, which is about having a cry people or dry hair and adding overtly or paint on top of it. So this is what we use for all the deep feeling, and this is what you'll be using to add clears or the foreground details, etc. And also a good technique for these rocks. You can use a dry brush technique. So again, this is a wet on, dry technique. And what we do over here is use a brush that is kind of salad dressing. You can just dab it on an issue or on your hand and do this motion so you can see that there's a rough for green texture that comes onto the paper. And that's what we crank, that dry brush effect. So this is easier when you have a textual people, like for example, if you have cold press paper or even more so at recruiting people, it's much easier gritty disobey. But if you are using a hot pressed or smooth paper, then you have to do it a little bit of extra effort that you just have to dab your brush a little bit more, that a lot of pain just get right into the tissue and you just have a little bit of the Internet and the pressure semi dried to get that effect. Another technique I want to share is this DZ. So to create a DEP, like we have in the room, we cry out this technique, then we just add a layer of paint like this. Again, this fattest, wet and dry, and then use a clean brush to spread it out. So instead of printing, the whole idea is just painting a part of it and then using clean brush to spread out against the remaining area. So this gives an indication of debt. So that's on the basic techniques that I wanted to cover. Now let's go to the next section. 4. Painting glowing lights: Now since this class is all about being the lights and I have a separate section to just share some quick tips and tricks about how to get there. When you are painting nitrogens. So the idea is to start with a very light center and then progressively darker colors around it. So when you're starting out, you just spread the people and political right there, which means that you won't do anything there. And then as you move outward from the source of light, you start adding yellow. So let me just share a quick example here. So we can have a circle like this. And now let's imagine that the source of light is at the center. So when people completely around the idea of light, and then start with a lighter value of the ALU. And we try to avoid that central part because you want to show a glue but there is a source of light. So you start sort of building a bounded. So we'll start with lighting and low and then progressively add darker values of yellow. Now, if you knew that the colors blending and all the values are getting mixed up because of the wet on wet. But you can do is for the second part where you have the source of light. You can use a clean brush and just pick up some paint from there so you can lift up the beam from there. And based on the color that we're using, the elliptic will leave a white badger slightly yellowish best. But the idea is to have the central portion or the source of light, has the lightest value. I'm close to white. And then as you move out, it becomes slightly darker. Now in this case, in the case of the slab, we have wet on wet background here along with the blues. So when you mix yellow with the likely end up with a greenish tint. Now to avoid this, what you can do is to use the yellow which is not really mixing with you to give you a green, which is Naples yellow. So Naples yellow is a color that doesn't mix with blue like that. So you can use this color alternately. If you don't have, what you can do is to wet the paper completely and leave a little bit of space between the darker blue colors and the yellow so that they don't really mix up. And we were batches so that you don't really end up having that greenish blue hue. But there's a workaround for that as well. You can simply make sure that you're using these two colors in separate layers and MAC mixing them. That's all about life. See you in the next section where we started off as project. 5. Color Palette: Coming to the color palette for this class. Now this is the speed of identity in class and you can think light and night. So we will be using a couple of blues which kind of helping us in creating the modal reserve. So I'm using the ultramarine blue now, ultimately is a granulating color in most of the brands. See that it gives a very beautiful background. And since we'll be using blue in almost all of the backgrounds here. So it's important that you have a good mix. And the other blue that I'll be using is indigo because we need a darker blue sheet as well. So at, avoid using black. Even for the ages, I've used the darker values of indigo separately. Use these to boost our crumbling and indigo and creating all these night sky background. Now coming to the light and using an equal yellow. So again, I'll be sharing the details about how you can create the glowing effect there, then it comes light. But just to, just to share the codons here, we have Naples yellow and start with, and then we'll be adding grounds here. So in case of this cottage and also the lamppost, you have trapped there. So for that, you'll be using a burnt sienna. Then again, another darker ground which would be like a burnt umber. So if you do have a dark brown, you can always use the same bonds here and add it into the integral of u to make it slightly cooler like this. But we need a darker brown as well. And using these three colors, you can create that blue goods. For example, like this, you can create the blue and so also for creating the shelves. All the lighthouse is very friendly for the rocks and the ground of using these grounds. Those are all the colors that you need for this class. 6. Project 1 : Glowing Lamp: So for our first project, you're going to be a beautiful and simple lamp, glowing lamp at night. So at start with my room and I'm going to have Colombo. I'm using a ruler so that I can get the lamppost. So yes, so good. So we're going to have a bit of detail on Lampert, have the lamppost and Lampert services and goods. The focus here is on how we get light and the glue properly. So I'm just adding some very minor details onto the lamp over here. Maybe a bit of fancy curves over here, just to add to the campus where that land. Now at the heel, we're going to have some shrubs. And again, they are at an angle. And here also we are going to have play of light. So I'm just adding an outline and we'll be painting it directly. So I'll just erase this and get started. So I'm reading the whole paper for now, except for the root. But it really doesn't matter. You can just read the whole people. Let the water so can a bit so that we can walk wet-on-wet. And now as discussed in the live class, we'll start with the lab. So I'm leaving a little bit of white, these apps and where we inhabit source of light and the yellow around it. So here I'm using an equals hello because here we have the sky, which is going to be blue. I didn't want to mix up a green. I'm using the Naples yellow. But if you're using a yellow, green, blue, then maybe we can try and avoid mixed. So let us layer dry completely and then read the paper again and do the rest of the sky. So that's one work-around that you can do. But here, since I'm using Naples yellow have started directly ultra marine. And I'm adding it at the edges, starting with the answers and then moving slowly towards the center. Now you don't want the center to be very careful because you still want to show the area around the light to be a little lighter. So I'm leaving a little bit of space at the center as well. And then next, while the blue is the ultramarine scroll back, I'm starting with indigo. So this one again, I'm adding that on the NADHs and non-coding towards the center. Much. I just want to have the agents where we want to show the dark sky. Now, you have to make sure that we're still working wet on wet. So in PTC, paper is drying up, especially at the BSW with Sweden, start working on that, but you might just want to read it. In this case, I'm just continuing to add the integral at the edges. And if you feel that it's kind of flowing down like this, and just use a tissue and just swipe it. Now in this area, again, this part is going to be darker, so I really don't mind a bit of PPE includes this part. I'm going to add the darkest brown over here, but that's it. That's about it. That's all Skype art that is done. Now, you start working on the truck that is there at the piece of land. And for this again, I start with the yellow. Again, if you're using not using equals 0, you might want to be too dry and then start to disrupt secreted. End up mixing greens. In this case, I'm using Naples yellow and I've now added the burnt sienna. So you're going to have kind of clue from yellow to brown. So I started with maple syrup and then add enough. And then at the edges and bring, add the burnt umber. Here again, we are working mostly wet on wet. So I'm trying to finish complete in one go. You can see that we did the sky in one go and then continuing with the shrub by the people is still that again, you might have to do a bit of variation based on the yellow that you're using. The yellows are not mixing and you're fine to work with it in one group. Then this helps in getting that background effect. So I'm trying to add in a little bit of shrub by using a darker value of a number. You can also mix a bit of indigo. If you do not have a dark brown, just mix a little bit of indigo on to burnt sienna, you should get a nice dark brown. And at any point, if you see that A color from the edges that acapella that he had. It from the edges are getting towards center where we had a clean brush and lift a bit of color here and just trying to add in. And also the graduate law of light by adding the darker colors at the edges. So this is again, all wet on wet, wet on dry and wet on dry. But right now you're doing all of this wet on wet. So after this, we're going to let this layer dry completely. And then we'll start working on the details. Right now the people has dried completely and start adding some details onto the truck. At this, again, I'm using those same colors, but now that we're working on cry, you'd see that appeared much darker because previously when we were working wet on wet and you'd all be added on that layer of water on the paper. The colors will get go getting diluted and kind of mixed up. So I'm trying to add in a slightly darker value of the same color and added these little strokes that we can choose kind. Rather just adding a little bit of detail to the SRA. Also follow the same techniques. So starting with a lighter brown and then as we move towards the edges, we start adding a darker ground. So this again shows the flow of light. So we start with a lighter color closer to the source of light. So just under the land you'll see that the color is much lighter. And then as you start moving away from it, as you start moving towards the edge of the people that I love, starts becoming darker and darker. So just using simple strokes like these. Okay. Now for the bees over, since we need a much darker color, I've added a hint of indigo to two bonds here. So you can see that it almost shows up as black over here. But I wanted a darker color. And words was kind of getting close to the base layer as well. So just added a hint of indigo to make it slightly darker. So it gets, it looks good now, the variation of the yellows and browns look nice. So this part is done. Now, moving on to the rule where we have snow. We won't be being tick mark school because you just kind of most of the crate. But just to show the reflection, just to show a little bit of variation in the deck shoe VDB adding US like the lighter blue like this. So people snow, that's what you're going to do. You're just adding a lighter blue or a very washed-out value. And that will kind of help ensuring the shadows in the snow and effectively cookie painting the snow. So next we move on to the labs. So for this, I'm using the wet on dry technique through my people and this part is crying. But I hope by the time we start painting the lamppost, the shrub will be dry spell. So for this, I'm using burnt sienna to start with. So again, for the areas that are near to the light, just around like they'd be slightly. And when you start moving downwards towards lamppost, it starts getting darker. So we'll just play with the values of worms here now and maybe add a hint of burnt umber as well. So you can see here that at the top, the ground is much lighter. And as I'm moving downwards towards lamppost, kind of becoming darker but number. So again, to see variation in the values. Hi. It looks a little bit more beautiful. So it's almost black color, but it's again burnt umber mixed with a bit of indigo. So we just wanted to stand, stand out when the new compared to the shrub. Next, I'm going to use my rigor and add few branches over here, some branches off another shrub maybe that just grayed out because the winter season, Sam using indigo here to add in the details of the shrub. Since we already used burnt umber in the background, you can see that a darker color to show up on this. So that's the reason I'm contracting for integrals so that it shows up on this. You can also use black for this, just so that it shows up on the darker background. So that's all the watercolor part. Now we start with the snow for which I'm using my white quash. So I'll start with adding snow manually on to some specific parts where you know that it'll get collected. Like these edges of the Lamb. Definitely go for a plateau. But till then, just first make sure that all these little details are added. Some using a smaller brush and just adding snow, white quash wherever you can expect the snow to get deposited on these edges as well. Here as well, at the base of the root was quite a very sharp edge that we did with the shrubs. So just trying to tone it down by adding some uneven snow. And we also added to the base of the Lamb and onto the dry branches. Just adding a little bit of snow. Now I always try not to go overboard with this or for that matter, stars in the night sky. It's just so much fun adding these little white spots of snow that I kind of end up getting too much snow onto the paper. I'll just stop having it manually and just go for the splatter some time with this, now, just a little bit of diluted. And this flatter. Again, we try not to go overboard with this. So you can just use a simple hand movement like this to add this matter. I've seen that a lot of artists also use two pressures for this. So if that's more comfortable with that as well, the idea here is to add kind of a snowball effect. So that's the reason we're doing this last step so that this shows up in the foreground. Just adding final round touch-up to this part. Done, We're done. This project and current loads of snow and life. So enjoy this and you'll also get a cry. So see you in the next one. 7. Project 2 : Lighthouse: For our next project, we're going to be beautiful, glowing Lighthouse with a window, snowy background. So we have a rocky edge over here and a few branches may be afraid of having another or demand over here. Next we have the lighthouse over here. So since the lighthouse is in the background, whereas the fulcrum, the rather the size of the lighthouse and embarrassing would be slightly smaller. So we just go with a very simple structure of the lighthouse. Now, I do have a separate class on just being lighthouses with different backgrounds on Skillshare. So do check it out if you enjoy being delayed houses. In this one, we won't be diving into a lot of detail on as to how to be lighthouses. And the focus here would still be on the stone and the glue of light. But we try and capture the beauty of litres as well. So this is kind of the top area where the actual light light sources there. And this is going to be the lightest part of building the lighthouse itself. We will keep it right, or rather short bit of shadow onto this but mainly white. And then we have a small shed over here. So I'll just add this pencil. And then the edge of the water body here. So that's that sketch, Dan, I will just erase this and get started with painting. So again, we'll start with the background. Now in this case, so we break the people, but we'll try and why the lighthouse walls are going to be white, so we don't want the blue from the sky to seep into that. So I'm trying to avoid that area and just being around it, mainly pot sky and make bread to people completely first and then we'll start adding the colors over here. So he started with a yellow very light value just around the source of light at the top of the tower. So I'm still leaving a bit of white there and just painting around it. And then we start to sky. So adding the ultra marine and then the integral over here as well. Now since we are working with on where there's a chance that the colors will seep into each other. So in this case, I'm just going to use a clean brush and just lift up the color a little bit from the center so that the source of light still remains the brightest part in here. And also from the edge of the people in case you see that the colors are pulling up the edges so you can use a clean brush. Just take care of that. Sum starting with the ultramarine over here for the sky. And then I'll add in a little bit of indigo, but not like what we did for the project. This is slightly different because we want to show a very dramatic sky. So that's adding a slightly different manner. But I'm just trying to be careful here. Good. Lighthouse. We want that to remain right. So I don't want the blue to seep into those walls, so I'm trying to avoid that. Next we add the indigo, but instead of just adding a grid on, I'm using these strokes so that there's a bit of the sky so that we can show the movement of the clouds, so to say. So that's the reason I said that it is slightly different from what we did in the lab project. So that's for the sky. For the water body here, I'm directly adding a darker blue indigo mix. And this is again ultramarine with a hint of indigo, but it's slightly darker than the base layer that we used for the sky so that it shows up separately over here. And once again, we are careful with lighter. So that's it, That's the sea and the sky. Now, for this rocky mountain that we have in the foreground, the dry brush technique and adding in the details here. So for this, I'm using burnt sienna and burnt umber, Congo. So like I mentioned in the technique section, if you are using a CP or rough grain people, the dry brush technique kind of comes naturally. You don't have to put in much effort. But if you're using an HB smoother people, you might want to just dab your brush onto a tissue down so that it kind of becomes semi dry so that you can get the same kind of prepared. Some music mix of burnt sienna and burnt umber over here. So you see that there's a little bit of variation in the lecture as well. And also while it's still bad, strokes, brushstrokes that he cried out there still wet. I'm adding in a slightly darker ground like this. So basically just trying to build up the texture buildup a little bit of mediation over here. Next, we'll paint the shed over here again using the same colors. I mean, the stick into the burnt sienna and burnt umber combination. And not going in with a lot of different colors for this, these projects in this class. So most of the land part will be done using a mix of these two browns, maybe a bit of indigo here to add in a little bit more shadow. Now for this lambda mu to the water body, using a mixed saw the grounds again. But here I'm using kind of a return wet technique where you starting with a stroke but adding in a little bit of darker values or darker brown over here. And let it mix them. And then it creates a nice contrast as compared to the blue water that is there in the background. Now, what you can create a bit of light and shadow, Right? We're done with this. So I see that there's a bit of color that is flowing into the sky mainly because of the vec people. So I'm using a clean brush to just fix that bug. And next we move on to the lighthouse. So keeping it right and you don't want to add in a lot of color to this. But just to show the shadows and using a very light value of the integral, you can see that it's almost closer to people color and just using it to create these little shadows so that you have a bit of contrast to the light that is there at the top. For this. I'll just add in a slightly darker brown for the Sheriff's ensure bit of shadow. And then we start with the branches. Here, I'm using the brush and you can see that it's so much fun just using this brush to create all these lovely branches. So that's the reason I said that can give this pressure. But again, if you are using a round brush with a good works just fine. I'll be adding a few branches, branches and then adds on to them. Just like what we did. Adding another similar to what we did for the postman. And a few of the branches overlapping that lighthouse that we've been doing in the background. So if I wanted to go for a lighter color, I'm using indigo. But when I'm adding the details or the branches on in front of the lighthouse. I'm just trying to use a lighter value using the same dark value. This is again the light. When you have that light source in the background, you'd want to show a little bit of light, reflect on the things that we'll be adding, nor do all this. So it might just skip code. But for now I'm adding on the branches I want. Next we'll start adding in the lighthouse. All the branches are still wet. Let's get started with rocky for ground-up have over here. So all the area that I'll be using, the wet on dry technique and adding the details or the shadows in this part. So you can leave, right? Because we are going to show that no, deposited on the rocks. So you can leave a bit of light. And that's the reason that I went for the dry brush techniques that were actually leading the people right as it is. And we're just going to paint the shadows on trust. White snow, bad state is now adding the shadows because at this point you already know the lights and shadows. So just adding goals. Now that my branches have to start working on the details for the lighthouse, the top part. So adding the links, etc. So again, I'm using brown indigo mix for this. So that is closer to the light source. You'd want it to be a little lighter. So I'm using a light brown. And as you move away from it, you can go slightly darker. So either a dark brown integral would work just fine. Also have those two little windows. Searches, moves integral and then the bat. Then we'll just let it dry and that gets started. A goal or the snowpack. All right, let's get started with the snow. So I'll start again adding a bit of it manually. Like instead of going and just add it, we have all these branches. So the deal here, just adding snow in-between those branches will also do the same for the bass part of the painting. And of course that has been collected. Crank it more dynamic. You can just do a scatter of snow. So I've added a nice black robes nor everywhere. And in case you value-added have become a bit down because of the background. Maybe doing a test for those parts here, adding a bit more snow. Done with this project. So I hope you enjoyed. This was slightly grim than what we did for the book, cause it. But I hope you had fun and we'll see you in the next one. 8. Project 3 : Cozy Cabin: So moving on to our last project. In this one, we're going to go beautiful, glowing lights and snow all around. So I'm going to use a very simple method to describe escape in the center here. And then I just rounded with the rule. And then this will be the front part where we have two windows. And these will also be showing this was applied for us. So here we have the windows. We follow the same technique when painting light, starting centers as whitish and then moving out the yellow. And then for this, in particular around, these windows will be playing with values of Brown's. We'll start with a lighter brown and then add a darker brown at the edges. And then we have this little pencil over here. And we are done with the fence. Now we have a couple of trees in the background over here. That's about it. That's all the sketching really need for this class. And get started with the painting part now. So again, we start with the sky, so will be having a dark background sky. So in comparison, we would want to look much brighter in contrast, also, there's snow on the roof of the cadence, so you'd want to avoid that area. So I'm not wetting the paper there. I'm trying to avoid that area. Mainly just trying to wet the area that is there for the sky. Now we start with ultramarine again and be simple strokes. I'm trying to build up the sky. So you can see that the water is helping the mics on its own. So the blending happening kind of on its own. You don't have to do much over here. And just trying to avoid painting the roof of the cabling. I don't want to mix that up with the blue that we have and just trying to wipe tag, but mainly via just been in the sky. And then we add a slightly darker value of the same color so that we create some variation in the sky. I'm not using a lot of indigo over here in this particular sky, which is mainly using that for the background. So I'm using ultramarine itself, but slightly darker value than what I used for the background. And just using the same strokes to create some variation in the sky. Alright, so we're done with the base layer of the sky and ultramarine, beautiful granulating color in all, almost all grants. So you'll see that it's giving that matching beautiful effect for the sky in the background. Now, for the background, I'm using the wet-on-wet technique and dropping in the integral. So I'm not trying to hadn't defined the sheep. Since these are in the background, they are going to be pretty much blurrier. So that's the reason I'm working wet on wet. Again, I'm trying to avoid painting the house. But apart from that, we are just adding go onto ADP and just letting it blend. A slightly darker color, indigo, but a darker value. As you move towards the sky. Now to gain the rest, we need this layer to dry, so we'll start with the snow and the snow white as it is. We try adding a little bit of shadow so that it looks magical. And also, we need to show the lighter income from escaping. So we'll start with that. I'm starting my Naples yellow and affect people with the idea for the ground completely. And then we start the yellow, where we have the reflection of the light from the gaping insight onto the snow. So this again is going to get lighter as we move forward. Now, I'll be adding a little bit of ultramarine, very light value of ultramarine tissue, the shadows in the snow, and also spread into class. I'm just going to lift it up with a clean tissue because the reflection is only going to be close to the source of light. And so I'm just limiting the adding that light, ultramarine blue to the shadows in the snow. So this is a very light value, and once it dries, it will be crying much lighter. So we don't want a lot of color on smooth cell just to show a bit of shadows. So I'm also using a clean brush here, which is blended in. And now let us try complete. Right now maybe I'll start with the light inside. So I'm just using a clean brush to just wet the area and then simply part or the source of light as it is, and just being rounded. So I'm using a lighter yellow to start with, so that we can just beamed around the light. Now since radon, which is kind of making it all blend together, I'll just use a clean brush and lift up a little bit off from the central part where we have the source of light. Right next we start adding the bond sienna. So this is going to be the lighter brown. Again. Let it blend in yellow so that we can show a gradual floor flight. So we start with the top part here. So I'm leaving so that we can know that. But around the crank to go from yellow to brown, dark brown kind of flu. Now towards the, towards the light, I'm using a much darker value because these are the areas where we have the shadows or the darker parts. Whereas anything closer to the light source and in front of it is going to have a much lighter color. So this is just one part, Maybe adding a bit more darker brown towards the edges again. So this is just the first particle. Now we walk wet on wet. I'm adding the darker brown. So you could call a darker value, but sienna, burnt umber, bit of indigo mixed burnt sienna. So these cleaning want a darker brown so that we can show that flew off light. Now you can see that as soon as you add that darker brown kind of automatically lifts up. And that's what we will see much more clearly in a few minutes. So again, put central part, I'm using a very light brown because this is again closer to the source of life. And while you start working on the trees in the background. So since these two are not connected, I thought I'd just go ahead with this one while keeping the first layer of Christ. So I'm using my rigger brush here to create these branches. Are you going to have a couple of trees in the background. So this kind of more towards us. So this is going to be another one, slightly smaller than one. It's just so much fun. The brand. I think we will run that now because we just added. So you just make it smaller than the street. Just adding a few more branches. Now rendered price will walk on the small part of the rule. So here again, we're going to just work on the shadows for that, we use a very light value of ultramarine, but most of it will be left. Why? Because we're just going to snow little bit of shadows here. Next we start with the fence. Now here again we start with a lighter brown, and then we add in a few shadows are darker and of course known top. So I'm just using MSN have to start with. Now for the friends that is right in front of the room, since it's in front of the light source, there will be shadows as well. So for this, I'm using a very light value of ultramarine and adding the details here. You can see that it adds to the painting. It kinda makes it look more magical. So I'm trying to prepare effect over here because we know that the light will be on the fence over here. So just creating the shadows to add to that effect. Next week, go back to the window, and this time I'm using slightly darker brown for the edges of the window. I'm just going to lift up a little bit of brown. I'm just used to clean up. Now getting back. So for that, I'm using a slightly darker brown, just under half the snow. And I'm using the glazing effect to the blended in like this. So we start with a very dark brown, just unbelievable, and then blend it in and cut the spark on the right side where we have the shadows. Again, I'm using the same technique. I start with a darker brown, and then the rest of the painting. This part is done so I'll add the shadows. The darker brown, one side on the opposite side. Now we let this dry completely before adding my people as I'll start with the snow. Again, we'll start with the snow. Snow gets deposited on the brand and also on the fence. So I'm just going to add a little bit of snow on the snow getting collected on the fence. Also, since it looks like just adding a bit of an edge for the snow, just under the house where it's collected. And of course we add the splatters. And we're done with that last project. I hope you enjoyed this one. This was slightly different from what we did in the other two. I hope you enjoyed it and see you in the next section. 9. Thank you and Beyond!: So thank you once again for joining me for this class. I hope you enjoyed it. And I hope you had fun painting the beautiful gluing lives with great backgrounds.
