Watercolour Mini Florals in Jars

1. 0 Intro: Hi, guys. I'm Esther Peck, a Watercolrist, specialize in floa painting. I'm also author to watercolor floalPainting. My latest book, which I teach lots of flowers, including tulips and daffodils, which I'll be teaching today. In this class, I'll be teaching mini floors in jars. And if this sounds familiar, you're right. I have taught another floors in jar in Skillshare too. Many of you have requested for more floors in jar, so I decided to do these four jars tulips, gabaras, daffodils, and sunflower. This is a basic to intermediate class. I'll be teaching you basic strokes to paint flowers, discussing on colors to use, and painting cute tulips, sunflowers, daffodils, and guberas in small jars. This is a really fun class, and you don't have to worry about drawing, as I have outline drawings for you, and there are lots of step by step PDFs or references. Hope to see you in my class. 2. 1 Art materials for Florals in Jar: Hi, good to see you in this class. For this lesson, I'm going to show you the materials that you need to get ready. One of our most important materials that we need is definitely paper. In all the classes, I will recommend 100% cotton papers, use arches and 300 gram, 100% cotton papers, and I'm using co pressed paper. The next choice that I have is Fabiano copress 100% cotton paper also, and it's 300 gram. And for this paper, I usually will cut it smaller because I bought it in A three. But again, if you are practicing, you don't have to use all these 100% cotton paper. I actually have 50% cotton paper. It will be good enough for our practice. Of course, the next important up material we need are our pins, and I'm using chemical paints. I will be discussing about how the swatches go in my next class this is a beginner class, I will try to use mini round brush. I'm using Princeton Heritage Number six. But most of the time I'm using the number two because we are painting small flowers. If you can get a flat brush, it's probably number eight also or number six and also if you can, one quarter angular shader for shading the glass jar, and this is optional, but it will be good to have. This is Princeton select deer foot brush, which I use it to stipple, which I will also show you in my next class how I use this brush. Of course, we need a pencil for drawing or even for tracing. Of course, we can't paint without water. I have two jars here, one for washing yeah, a bigger one and a smaller one for getting the clean water. As we need served already to tap off excess water. With that, I hope you come back for my next class, see 3. 2 Basic strokes: Welcome back. For this class, I'm going to teach you how to paint some of the basic strokes as this class is for the beginners. I'm holding the brush like 75 degrees from the surface and I press and release to the point. I get a press. Again, this is cotton paper that we are talking about. For cotton paper, perhaps I will also let you know that we are always using the rough side of the paper. This side, although it's rough, is still considered smoother. This is the rougher side. And if you want to use both side, maybe the other side can use for practice. Let's do one more time for This is a leaf stroke and we actually use it for the blades of Jebera you need to practice this a few times, press and back to the tip. So it's like how big you want it to be. If I want it to be thinner, I don't press so much. So it's thinner. This is my one leaf stroke. So for a bigger leaf petal, you can paint this way. One this way, another one. This is one big leaf petal for my sunflower, 12. Of course, I'm using the smaller brush, the number two. Now because I'm showing you, I'm using the number six to show you. Let's paint one more time. One, two. One is, I'm pressing more on top to one side, another one more to the bottom. Let me show again. Perhaps draw a line, a very thin line. One up and one down. But for the sunflower, it's not exactly with so sharp tip, perhaps we don't want it so sharp tip. This is the number six and number two will be definitely smaller. This is also the stroke that I used to paint the tulips. Later on, you will see and also the daffodil petals. Because I'm painting it downward. The defle petals are downwards, most of the time than side. I'll be teaching that in more details, but now I'm just showing you so we have leaf stroke, two leaf strokes. Now I'm showing you the S stroke, which I will paint also for both lily of the valley and also for the bell shape of the tube of the daffodil. S is this way. Okay. So this is the other side of the S. Because I'm using a small brush, so I have to actually fill up quite a lot. I use a number six now, one and two. This is the S shape and this is also called the S shape, but it's the mirror image and the leaf stroke and one last stroke. Earlier on when I bring out the deer food, it was a 316 months. You can actually purchase 316 if you're painting a bigger one or a one egg if you're painting a tiny jar. So I'm actually using a tiny jar, so I'm using this, but for demo, I'm using a bigger one. I will wash it and I need to squeeze out the water. So it's actually them. Have all the paint up here and I'm holding the brush 75 degrees and we call this stippling. This brush is very interesting. You can actually use this brush to form foliage. Let me just show you how fun this can go. I have a mix of pin noready and I'm going to show you how to steeper again. This is stippling, how you stipple. I'm loading a lighter green again now. This one can looks a bit like grass and I layer them. With the darker green below. If you like to know more about this deer foot brush, you can also go to one of my class called watercolor brushes and usage, which I also show you how I paint trees and how I paint foliage in that class. I add a bit more water. It's very interesting. You can go to that class to see. Also in that class, I show you how to use a flat brush and angular brush. But in this class, I'm going to show you just very quickly. You brush need to be damp clean brush, about half. The reason why you need to sweep it on a clean so that you are blending actually the color. One side sweep, go back. Sweeping on the same cl. You get a nice gradient. If you don't have a angular, a flat brush will also do the j. Same thing, wet it. Half. Again, depending on the size of the jar that you're painting, size eight is for slightly bigger, so you perhaps would like to get a size six. I'd like you to practice all the strokes using these brushes that you have. If you don't have some of the brushes, it's okay, but it will be good to have them and be prepared for the next classes and come back for my class. See you real soon. 4. 3 Colour Swatches: Welcome back. This class, I'm going to show you the pins that we are using. Don't panic when you see there's so many pins that you need for this class. Because we are also painting a lot of flowers. Don't forget, we are painting a lot of colorful flowers. For lemon yellow, cadnum yellow deep, yellow ochre, bun umber, ermiion. In fact, this five colors, I use it for some flower. Let's continue on. Brilliant opera rose, permanent caring. I'll come back to these two and also I use purple magenta, brilliant red violet, cobot blue light, pins gray, these two I use it for the bottles, set chronum green oxide, paring green. These four colors I use them to paint the glass jar. And also the white gouache, and I have green Earth, optional, and parain violet is also a bit of optional because you can mix your own darker color. Purple, magenta and brilliant red violet, I use it for the Jabara also brilliant opera rose and permanent carmin also for the Jabara also for the and for lily of the valley, I actually use titanium white to paint over the guash. Yeah. So if you want to paint the lily of the valley, you probably will have to get a guash. Guash is spelled GOUACHE. So it is actually opaque color and we are painting over the transparent paint. Usually, I always have my swatches with me. I have done my swatches, so all the colors that I use quite frequently, perhaps I will just show you the paints because this is for the beginner class and you'll probably like to see how chimica paints are. As I always say in my class that you really need not to use the same brand of pain that I'm using. Use whatever paint that you have, but of course, need to use those vibrant paints and papers are very important which earlier on we talked about in our material class also. I have my yellow mix this and I want a lighter value, I actually add more water. And actually more water. So very, very light. Cadenum yellow dip. Yeah, this color is really very bright. I use this for sunflower and also daffodil. If I want a lighter value, yes. Water. So we always talk about light value, mid value. This is around okay, I push it down so that you can see a bit of mid value. Probably this is the darkest value because I get it straight from the pain. I'm only showing a few colors because there's a lot to go through Vermillion. Vermilion looks a lot like red, but it's actually quite orangy. When I add water to it, you will see that it's more orange. Perhaps I'm also showing you how I mix these two colors together. I get a bit of orangy tone when these two color mix, you can actually use this to paint your jibera if you want to a lighter shade and brilliant opera rose. Because brilliant opera rose is very bright, sometimes we want it to be lighter, we will add more water to it so you have a lighter value. The lighter value actually looks very sweet. This way and permanent coming. You can see the comparison of the colors. Just now this looks red. Now when we have permanent coming, you can see that this then is red. Lighter value. The color is very strong, even with lighter value, I need to add on quite a lot of water. This will give you a pinkish look. Next purple magenta. Some of the colors that I think you would like to see and the lighter value. This one I use it for aberra. I also use this for lavender also. Very beautiful colors. Next we have brilliant red violet. I also use this color very often. I use this color for hydener but I'm not teaching in this class, add with water, lighter value. Sometimes we like it this color, sometimes we like it very light. I'm sure you like to see my cobot blue light. This is the color I use it for the jar. We actually use quite a light value one, because the jar is supposed to be transparent, there you go. For the outline of the jar, I actually use pinks gray. But because this jar is quite small, some of the bottle I don't really use that dark color, I mix it with this. Lighter value. For our greens, I use chronium oxide green. You see when I have water, you will see this effect. We have paralleling green, it's very dark. It's almost like black. But when it's mixed, it's very beautiful. Let me show you the lighter value. It's very beautiful. I love this. For green Earth, and this is green Earth. I like the paint. The color is very pretty. But again, this one is optional because I don't really use it a lot for this class. Pain violet. This paradine violet is the one that I used to add the shades for tulips. It's optional again because you probably can mix your own color to add to get a darker color. If you don't have this color, you can actually use brilliant red violet and add a bit of the green. So I actually mix it. It's pretty dark, just to get a darker purple. This color is actually get from this mix of brilliant red violet and paralein green. It's just a darker color for the sheets if you don't have parolin violet. I have done the washes and you have also seen the colors and you can decide if you'd like to use these colors or another brand. Whatever paints that you have chose, try to have a swatch like this anytime and a reference color written there so that you will know what color you would like to use in future. I save a lot of time. I see you in my next class. 5. 4 Painting Jar: Welcome back. I'm going to paint the glass jar, painting a big one so that you can see clearer. And we actually don't need that much detail, but this is for the benefit of those of you who like to paint a medium sized jar for your flors. First step, we will have glaze a layer of water. I will also attach this PDF for you. We will glaze water and leave this rim area here where this is the turn right. So depending on what syte of jar you have this jar actually should have a lid. We remove the lids a mentioned jar. Because it's quite a big. I have to apply quite a lot of water and I always mentioned that be careful of the edges. Don't get out of the pencil line. You can actually turn your paper. It's easier to paint this way. I apply the light glaze of blue over near the edges, the top rim here. The curve around, under this rim here, it's a very light wash only, so don't add so much, a very light value of cobalt blue, light. The bottom of the jar also a bit darker. Also a very light value of green. You can see that the bottle is actually coming up. Actually, over here should have a bit more pin to show the definition a bit more. Basically, we are at step two. Now I pick up a bit of pink gray and mix with cobalt blue light. Waiting for this jar to dry a little because it's not very dry yet, but I will just attempt the top. Now we are adding on the outline. What we are painting later on is a small jar. This is more for you to see and you will see that you don't really need a lot of details. Some of the line is really very thin. I'm holding my brush because I didn't want to touch, so it should be more upright, but because of this, jar is not very dry yet. Actually, if it's not very dry, it will bleed a little bit. I bleed a bit and it's quite nice. To paint a straight line, I'm turning my paper so I can move. This part here, darker. I quite like how it turns out. It's a lot lighter than this jar, but yeah, I quite like it, add a bit of green also because it actually easier to work this way. The shading given for this side. If you don't have a angular, you just use your flat brush. So I choose the water line to be somewhere here. You can actually use your round two to paint this because I'm holding my angular brush. Now I'm using my round two to draw this line. Okay. The water haven't really dry yet, but it's very good because I didn't want it to be very defined. I want it to be more blurish look, more mottled look like this. I sweep down this a bit more green here. As I say, your small bottle don't need so much detail, but I'm just showing you this so that if you want to paint a big bottle, at least you can paint it. Whereas this is called Flores in small jars. That one Flores in big jar, I also taught you how to paint the bigger jar and also I show you how paint roses and peonies in the picture. You can go back to that class if you haven't seen that class. It will be good to start this class first because this class is easier. This bottle is without the flower inside. This bottle, I'm assuming that flower inside, right? When there are flowers inside, definitely, your bottle will get darker because you have stock and there will be shading because of all these plant and all these flowers. Yeah, so there'll be shading. This one a bit darker. If you like your bottle to be lighter, please just keep it that way. But when it is darker, it's actually quite charming because I will add on the highlight later. I'll use the liner again. Now I'm going to add in the flower stock. Okay. Because this one is really of the valley, so I have to add in a lot of greens. I like the effect here because of the water and the glass that is not very clear, you won't see it clearly. So how you get this effect is that the water is actually still wet. If let's say yours have already dry up, so you should glaze a layer of water. I should paint a bit of this so I have painted some of the leaves so that I can get ready for this part of the bottle. It should be this way. I'm going to add guach over. Picking up guache directly from my tube. This part here should still appear but not here. I paint over. And here Guh is opaque, so it will go over my transparent pain. This one should be white so you can see the transparency of this jar already. Here I'm going to add in. Every time when the glass that is bulging up, you will add white. You can either use the flat brush or the angular brush. Okay, so we have the glass jar. For every jar that I paint, there will be different. So if you like to observe how I paint these two other jar, you can go to my floors in the jar class to see how I paint these two jar. With that, I will move to another class, so you can see how we paint the small flowers in the jar. Don't worry too much because the jars that we are painting are actually very little details. I see you soon. 6. 5 Painting Tulips in Jar: I'm so glad that you come back to this watercolor floors in jar part two. Yes, I'm adding in more flores into the jars. And some of you requested for tulips. So I'll be teaching this tiny tulip in a jar and also to let you know that I'm actually having a tulip online class at Skillshare. That is called Watercolor Techniques, which I teach painting tulips. And that's, of course. Hope you remember. Yes, I taught this, and the students projects are very impressive and successful, which encourage me so much. That class is very detailed in teaching tulips. So if you have time, I hope you can go into that class to go through again. But today, I'm going to teach the tulips in this jar, very small and not much details, actually. Let's get ready with some of the colors. Okay, this lemon yellow, cabin yellow deep, vermillion parallel maroon. If we need to, it's a very tiny flower, and it actually dry up very fast. And I'd like you to prepare the colors beforehand. All these colors are on my palette, so it was prepared earlier. Not to worry about the drawing because I'll be giving you an outline drawing for you to trace, or you can print it on a 200 gram watercolor paper. We are painting this baby tulip free hand now. I hope you are familiar with these leaf strokes. One, two, one big stroke now, two leaf strokes to form one of this petal shape, and another one behind. And now I leave a white gap here. Okay, you will soon find out why I leave a white gap and now a small petal. This is a small close up tulip. They are not the open up tulip. So now we have one more petal that is turned. So without washing my brush, I'm going straight to the mixed color that I have. It shouldn't be too much water. I'm painting on the white gap that I had left earlier, so I fill up the gap now. So now I will have to wash my brush and squeeze up all the water so the brush will be a little damp, and I brand the paints. I need to pick up more verminium to brand in as the colors kind of disappear. Mm. It's quite cute. Mm. And it's so tiny. And while it is still semi wet, I'm getting my green paint, chronium oxide green. Which I have prepared earlier, and I paint a stock. Now I have one small tulip painted free hand. I'm going to paint another stock, a little tilted, one, two. And since I have paint, then added on I'm getting a pure colour of verminion and I go back to fill the gap. And after washing my brush and quickly blend the verminion with nicadnum yellow dip petals, pulling out the pins. Actually, this is already quite detailed. I think. Our baby tulips in the jar actually need not have so much details, so not to worry. Yeah, I really hope you're not too concerned that you have to paint a lot of detailed tulips. We need to add on the leaf, the leaves. Mm. The leaves are actually very long. I'm pretty fortunate as I always have some of these real flowers. As I always mentioned in my class. Mm. Okay, they are not given to me, but to my daughter. Yep, you know, daughters always receive flowers, right? Yeah, okay. So, alright, now I'm going to paint the tulips that I've traced out on my own outline. But if you like to paint just two stocks of tulips in your jar that will be doable. We would like to have a mix of different colours for our bunch of tulips here. I will just use purple from my palette. We will probably use a mix of these two colors and I'll just get ready them. But now I'll be painting the yellow tulip first. So we have this one, two, leaf stroke to form a petterPainting this in cabin yellow dip first. And I will wash my brush because I want a clean and vibrant color. So I will just paint verminium behind and a mint vein for the tulip. Mm and more verminum here and adding veins on the petal. I'm adding more depth so now I think we have finished painting one close tulip and adding chronium oxide green for the stock all the way down. The other tulip is painted with high value of cadnum yellow dip and the back petal, too, and adding vermillion on the in between gaps to brand by pulling out the paints. I know there's a bit of details here. I'm going back to the first tulip to add on more vermilion for a more vibrant look. So now for the third tulip, going back for a higher value of cadenum yellow dip, I paint the two petals and the one behind. And now with erminium to blend in. I'm still painting all the cadnum yellow dip tulip first. And I hope by now you already know the steps to paint the petals with cadenum yellow dip and blend it with verminium. Wow. So now I have four yellow tulips. I'm going to paint purple tulip now, and it's with brilliant red violet. This tulip is open up and painting the center petal with a mix of purple magenta and brilliant red violet. For the dep, I paint with Perlin maroon, adding it on the bottom of the petal. Next for this tulip, I'm using a lighter value of purple magenta, painting one petal first. And again, this tulip has open petals. There are three open petals, and I use brilliant red violet for the sheds and for the back petals. So we have two more purple tulips. Next, we will paint red tulip with vermilion, two leaf strokes for a big petal. I'm using per maroon, a darker shed of red for shading, adding the mint vein for a little detail. Now I switch to chronium oxide green for the leaves. There are some stalks and some long leaves. We need to differentiate the petals and leaves apart so as not to get them mixed up with the colors, which I did earlier on. There's one more tulip hidden behind. Okay, four more tulips to paint. So for this tilted tulip, I like to have it in purple in brilliant red violet. I think if you have round four, you can actually use it to paint these tulips. Wow, I love the shape of this tulip. Remember to leave gaps in between. So now I'm adding on a higher value of brilliant red violet for the depth. And again, for the green stock, paint it when it's still wet and they will brand well. Now mixing vermilion with a little cad named yellow deep. I paint three petals in a gold with my brush loaded with these pins and leaving some gaps and getting perenn maroon straight from my palette and painted on the gaps to blend the colors. Mm. This tulips looks very brilliant. So bright. My brush is dmp and I brand the pins, and you can see the depth and separation of petals. For the next petal, I like it to be brilliant red violet again and painting the leaf strokes again. With a higher value of brilliant red violet, I add on the depth and the back petals and shading the rest of the purple tulips a little. Now, I will work on the mentioned jar. This is the exciting part as we are going to round up soon. Now, let's prepare a light value of bot blue. I glaze the grass jar with a thin layer of water, keeping neat lines and working between the pencil lines. Try not to work under the fan as the water dries up the paint very fast. Once it is glazed, I will add on the blue not touching the rim of the jar. At the edges and below the jar, we add on more blue glazes. Yeah, and also along the sides of the jar. This way, while the blue paints are still semi wet, I add on the green stalks. I want the stalks to bleed a little, and now I add the water line with blue. And for the details, yes, a little bit of details. Wait for the paints to dry to draw broken lines around the jar using pins green. Just a light value of pins grey will do. And now I'm painting over the water line again. I want some of the stocks in front to be darker and those behind to be lighter. Below the water line, I add on more bluish green for the water, keeping it clean. I'm pretty happy with how this small tulip jar turns out. Yeah, they actually don't really need that much detail. And I hope you can refer to the PDF handout that I've attached for you to paint the jars. So now we go back to our hidden tulip, which is capnum yellow deep and adding the stock as well. Adding a few more leaves for a fuller look. Now let's check again. I will add a little minium for sheets. Wow, so I think we have finished this small tulip jar. I hope you enjoy this class and do come back with your project. I hope to see small little jars like this on a cut, and you need not to paint a whole range of jars. Hope to see you soon. 7. 6 Painting Daffodils in Jar: Welcome back. The next flower I'm going to paint is daffodil. We are using some of the colors that we have used for tulips for the daffodils with your paints all still in the palette, most of them will be cap nm yellow also. First of all, I will start with two S shape. I know this is S is this way, correct. But my S in the other mirror image. This is the S but not a curvy. This is another S and I join it up. This is the tube of the daffodil and we're going to paint five to seven. Using the leaf shape, so I'll paint five to seven. Those in front should be bigger. These three or four in front. So it's two leaf shape. So now I have four. One more bigger one here. So one behind. Don't forget this is only two d. So behind there are some more petals. This is cad name yellow deep and this is erminion. We add in here. And at the same time, yes, I'll paint in the lines. Oh, I'm not going to add so much details, but there will still be lines like this. Yeah, so my brush still have the orangy color which I didn't want to wash. I'm going to paint this part here that I'm painting is called coronal of the daffodil. We mentioned about the parts, so it's easier to refer to. Because I leave this part here earlier on and then now I paint the coronal I left the tube after painting the tube and the petals, I come back to here. That's why the color won't get mixed up. So we have to wait for it to dry. The stock, I will use ronum green oxide. I basically just press I have traced the daffodil on this watercolor paper. This is 100% cotton paper. I start from here because they're all separated. Remember, don't paint this paint the tube first. Earlier on when I thought free hand is using two s shaped. Of course, with the trace designs a lot more interesting. Even the petals, you see turning this petal here very interesting and not just two leaf strokes. Again, I didn't wash my brush, I go straight to the orange mix. Yeah, you see the bad very beautiful, just a little bit align. Well, it is too wet, it's very possible to create that. But when it is dry, you can't, this corona here is darker in color. Maybe a mix of vermilion with cadmium yellow, dip. Yeah, it looks perfect. I will just paint in the flowertp with ranum green oxide because I didn't want this part to look to defined. I will add in water. So I would like to paint the bottle at the same time while waiting for this to dry. So I like this part here because I like the paint to blend in into the stock also, the water. And at the same time, I add in this. Okay, there's three stocks only. I think maybe here. So the good thing about painting small jar is that you don't need so much details. I think this is almost done. Again, big jar, you need a lot of details because I have a lot of water, so this is the effect that I actually I can have a bit of green. The rims and the edges of the bottles will be darker. That's all. So the center will keep it more transparent. I don't really need to add the white for this small bottle. For gouache, I usually just get direct from the tube and I don't squeeze it on the palette and it's something like this. With details, it always look a lot better. Guach is opaque.Guach over watercolor, it will appear. But if you use watercolor, you can't actually have it paint over a lighter yellow. Even if you use yellow color, you can't have it paint over your watercolor, so I have to use guach. We have finished another jar, so I'm going to teach you another flower, so do come back again. 8. 7 Painting Sunflower in Jar: Welcome back. You see, we are learning sunflower now. This sunflower is a little bit orange, a bit of a cadenum yellow dip. In that sunflower Skillshare class, I teach you how to paint free hand also. This is how we paint it. Also is leaf stroke if you observe is one, two, and I add on a bit of the mix, capnum yellow dip and the vermilion, and then I pull in the line. Those will also be a bit of cad yellow mix also. One, two. It's really fun painting these tiny flowers because most of the time I paint big flowers, so it's really a change for me and we have back petals, although my tracing didn't have, but I'm going to add in some back petals here. Just a bit of details. This one a little bit much because it's still wet. Just check that it's not too wet. While waiting for all these to dry, then I will be working on the leaves of the sunflower. There's two leaves here. I don't have leaves here. I think I'll try to add in some leaves. This is the mid value of roonum green oxide. I'm painting over again. Another leaves over here, medium value. I paint over. I add on a bit for the paints to blend. So I have a darker color behind the shadow here. I think I should have some green here. Although this is the bottle, it will still be able to see. I'm going to add in a bit of smaller leaves and then I add on the small leaves, as I say, or else the composition of this jar will look a bit plain just a bit only. Not too much. Now I will add in the bottle. We will give a glaze of water on the jar, the whole jar, the technique is still the same, but at least we have a different shape jar. This one has a small opening only. It's a small neck but a big body. The edges, again, we have more pain, mix a bit. The base also is a little bit darker. Now I can add in the sps the so it bleeds some more leaves here because it looks quite empty inside my jar. One more leaves. Think sunflower tend to have quite a lot of big huge leaves. I think it looks good. I make it less obvious. I'm adding a little bit more detail to the leaves. Just to draw in the min vein. For the center of the sunflower, I actually can use this for this part or I can actually just use my round brush. This is the burnt umber. I'm using the pain. I actually wet it a bit and I just dig out the burnt umber. In case you don't know how the strokes will look like, you have to hold it about 75 degrees from the surface like this. Steeper here. Okay, some of the spaces is a bit hard to stipple. The bud that cannot show so well, we will use a round brush because or else your brush might mess up all these petals. I'll just dimple a bit of these dots. I actually have my gush. I just take it out from the tube because it's a little bit hard to dip in with this brush. Make sure that my brush is not dirty or is too wet or else I can't get the effect. So I walk over here to show you. Can you see it's so tiny and I will stipple here. It is so cute. Yeah, I have the details. I think you should be able to see. So I think I'm missing out the water line. So before I add on the water line, I'm going to wet it a little bit you see? Once I add the water line in, it doesn't show a very defined line. I think I need to add a bit more blue on the bottom of the bottle. And for the rim here, I'm adding in a bit of blue for some shade. So our bottle of sunflower jar is coming into shape, right? We have finished three jars. Come back again for my next lesson. 9. 8 Painting Gerberas in Jar: And yellow to paint. The strokes. These are the front petals. As I mentioned, it's a little bit like the sunflower, B petal, a little bit darker. And center, we will just use a bit of brown. I will just.it this way. Just using my number two brush to.it. Again, we have front, paint it. So it's like two leaf strokes. I will have to wait for this to dry actually before I move or else the paint will get mixed up. This very bright one is the opera rose. You can actually use a number four round brush if you have. I'm just using my number two to work throughout all these tiny flowers. I do have a number four, but my number four is a sable brush. The sabre brush is holding too much water for this fine details flower. I rather use my heritage brush. Heritage doesn't hold so much water. You'll know when you want to use synthetic and when you like to use sable brushes sable brushes. Usually, I use it for my big painting. I will use a mix of brilliant red violet plus purple magenta, so it's dark. It's just petals behind. Exactly behind. I will use a slightly darker color for the center. Most of the time the center is slightly darker. Perhaps I will just add a bit of brown and it's already dry in the center. I will just dot this way. I would like to add the details like the petals line. We can also add in the petals line. And center, I will just use a bit of red to go round to.it. Yeah, again, the deer foot brush will be a bit too big unless you have a small one. Yeah. If not, it's better to use this number two round brush to work on the center of the Jebera I find the yellow is a little bit too much. Doesn't in. So I'm making a bit orangy sometimes after you paint you might not like the color so I make it a bit more orangy. Next we will paint the leaves. Paint these two leaves first. Same thing, we have the greens here, and we work on the leaves. I'll be moving to the next step, which is the jar. For the jar, I'll be giving a glass of water. A very thin glase of water. As my paper is pretty thick, 100% cotton paper, I pick up quite a lot of water so that I can glaze the whole jar at one go. Going very near to the lines, the pencil line. Now I'm going to drop the pin. My light grays of blue. Below the rim here. I'm actually using my number six travel brush now, because this is a bigger jar, whatever size that is suitable, you can just switch to your size, but I'm using a round brush. The ages here also around it, I will need a bit of green just a little bit. Not really a lot. Now I will paint the flowers stock. We are not showing that clearly. The top you can show clearly, but not the bottom, the top here. I will add some leaves around. Actually, here I have leaves, it's dry already. I will add in the veins. Go over here again for a more defined look. Because my jar is a little bit big for this one. Let me see. Perhaps I add a bit of leaves, but also motted look, that kind. Not a very clear. Because my paper is wet when I paint over, it doesn't show very clearly. That's why I like about this. Look I'm going to add in a bit more blue around the rims and the curves along the curve lines here, a bit more switching to my one quarter angle brush. If you have an angle brush, you can use it. If not, we still can use our round brush to handle this. As you can see from the previous jaw bottal I didn't use this, but because this is slightly bigger, so I use this brush. Of course, if you have this brush, it works better. I actually just look my paint at the toe of the brush here. This is called toe of the brush. And I sweep down again. This is the base. Now I pick up some paints gray and mix a little bit with my bot blue light to give a lighter blue and I will be defining the lines. Early on, I also mentioned that it won't be a full line. You need to have a steady hand to do that. Okay. That's how I like to paint the smaller bottle because I don't need a lot of details. Let me see. Anymore details I need to add in. Can you see this part? I want to show that the bottle is over the flower. The flower here is in front, correct. Going directly to the gouache, so I painted over to show. And perhaps for here, I just hold my brush a bit lower and then a bit more. White. This is the part that bulge out this will be the part that should have the light shining on it. I haven't add in my water line yet. So I think I will have my water around here. So this is the water line. Add in more light value blue and green below the waterline. We have finished this Gebaja. Mm hmm. 10. 9 Wrap up: Welcome back. I'm so glad we have finished all the four bottles and after learning the four bottles of tulips Jibara daffodils and sunflower. You can paint them just single like the sunflower or even paint them in bigger jars like the sunflowers and aberra jars. Because I've taught you how to paint a big mansion jar, too, remember, in one of my classes. Yes, the outline of this besides daffodil sunflower and tulip? Yes, you will also get the rest, which I taught blue bells and mini roses in my other class, also in Skillshare. Look out for watercolor flora jars. This is a second class.
