Press a follow button on the top to join me in this creative journey, and let's get started 2. Supplies & Materials: for today's classes you will need to what? The color paper. I'm going to use a five a four size says that Issa Cellulose paper as this one is contains 25% off cotton. But you can take just any watercolor paper you have. It would be fine Office paper, several shoots. Then we will need what? The color pains we're going to use the following colors Cadmium, yellow light Rosiana Ah, yellow okra. Uh, orange, golden yellow, golden yellow Also you can get it by makes in orange with yellow. Uh, mother read on burnt sienna, English red, green Just ordinary green violet, Ultra marine blue Onda uh, pains Great as the least of the colors. Also, I will upload in the class description on resources section s so you can find the names of the colors. Are ondas well to compare how they look like and then we will need some brushes just grabs ones which you have try to have bigger ones Uh um medium ones. Smaller ones That would be good to to have a kolinsky sable for details or synthetic ones. A swell would be helpful to have for some flat synthetic Russia in other toe Take off some parts of color in some of the work that we have One do need them. Then we will need Ah, white gosh, um, And soft the razor. The need an eraser. White, uh, pen. I am using a za brand. You nibble signal broad. Um, how also the normal one. But I don't really like, uh there. Level off white. It gives. So I would suggest the, uh, two uses this one because really gives really beautiful. Ah, really? White line. So And that I appreciate Irlo, then several pencils. Ah, age be on guard. One soft one B or Toby would define. Um, we will need as well sponge for better FX. I was suggested to find the one. I think this was called, like sea sponge or something similar. Um, that it will have a different Ah ah, size off holes. Let's say like this, then it gives more beautiful effect that we will need for making snow and a kitchen transparent going. We'll need some small piece. Ah, what a port Water, Kitchen towels, uh, another to remove extra water. Extra pained on. Uh, what the color palette. Another to mix our color, so you can use as well a some ceramic plate. That's fine. So anyway, if you don't have any of this materials, the eggs once, which you have and we'll see what we can do with let's get started. 3. Warming up Exercise: in today, sir. Class project that we're going to use er quite many round shapes. And so before we will move on to our main project. That's why. Let's though some warming up exercises, uh, another toe warm up our hands on a swell toe. Uh, get used to do those circle are for us. I'm going to paint quite many circles. Uh, today. So that is really easy on really relaxing your starting with ALS. Like these bigger ones on. Then you are moving, moving, making a smaller sizes. Then for here, let's start to make another one a dryer with softer. This is 70 Triwizard soft the time sell because this one I know I'm not really feeling free . Okay? Yeah, this is completely different story. So you just started with bigger, So off us on, then you're making them smaller, smaller and smaller. And let's great is his different diaper off spaceships. So you're connecting all of them nice. Is bigger ones in different directions. So the idea is that they you know, the great dry also different, um, pencils that yes, that you have to make, um to make your hand to get acquainted there with uh, making many circles all of to make them really many. Andi, uh, that your hand will get relaxed. So more circles and see with this special is more complicated. To make bigger ones, you need to control more of the hand. So just play around with different pencils. This means that the software reduces, and it's easier to move your hand. Yeah, you hear one more spaceship that yes, to relax and to warm up was a hand in making the ellipse trips. What else were kendo is also I tried to make circles bigger on getting send them with smaller ones. The desk take a one paper on bond. Play around who will. Great. Uh, more interesting on, uh, funny spaceship. You may notice that the more circles here making the hand is getting too used to that moment on the The shape is starting to be here. All right. And the shape started to be the correct one. Yes. So if you have a plate sufficient with this exercises and let's move to our first holiday with the project 4. Christmas Bauble Underdrawing: for this project I'm using I five size off cellos with the color paper on. Uh, let's face first, let's make a preliminary drawing that we're going to paint a winter ball on, uh, branch off Greece. Mystery. I hope you have practiced, uh, a lot drawing ellipse shapes. So it won't be really complicated for you. They make this circle and engage situs cells. Unjust. Yusor. Any kindof cup or any circle shape which you have from some bottle. Just outline it on. You will have a cheaper off the winter ball. Thank you. I will. Will make a on the, uh here as it is. So what? The color psa, uh, you will need to to leave. White space is for the highlights. So just this And here we're going toe help our bridge leave for a some small spaces so that it would be like you can use it as a holiday card. Does that leave some white border? Yeah, just the direction off the branches. So here we have our skitch preliminary drawing A over our winter ball aren't now we can move always. Uh, what the color part 5. Christmas Bauble in Watercolors: first, I will, uh, make it was wash just simple over the color washer. We will make a za shape off the boat. I'm going to use, uh, forsees ultra marine blue. And while it so just prepare as the pain should be quite sick, I'm using the number seven square. A little brush that it holds quite well. Water on there is quite a nicer, um, for washes. And what does this white area, which we have lived it for, which we have left it for the highlight. Yeah. Also, some color I had directly from the, um from the deal. Andi. Then closer to their outline now off the bullets at while it just try to follow the shape which you have indicated with that until so here we have our no with more while it I am. I didn't directly from there, Ben. So I think that I'm going to reserve my dollar makes jump. And now you that in this moment you have deliver in a while so that the painter won't be really wet, but don't let it dry too much. Meanwhile, it is getting dry. Let's prepare our transfer and clean. And what we're going to do it. It's the next clean quite, uh, with many wrinkles. Um, the place is just a little off the wash so you can see that I have breasted quite well on. Uh, we will leave it for a while. Lexus onder, meanwhile, is getting drunk. It is getting dry and living that beautiful decoration or, I hope so that it's going to be beautiful. Effect was a clean Let's move on to the holder of the, um possible for the full for the holder we will need, um Rosiana It should be quite diluted. Life color Andi, I have changed as well The Russia for the one which controls better the water as that is um several several guards no becomes the first layer Well, so if you have a yellow Okura you can add a bit of your So now we will live to get dry Holder on. Meanwhile, we will move on to the branch for the branch I'm going to use Ah Kolinsky several number three It should be quite, uh sharp. White pointed on doff The brush on which you can control are quite wells a moment Onda we will start first There with, um, first, we'll start with the general direction of the branch. For this, we will use Rosiana, um that our guy knows a bridge. And now let's add the needles for a sexual Makes a green always, um, orange and we'll get this kind off warm a shade of green. I'm going toe hold for making needles. I'm going to hold the brush quite, um, vertically so you can see that more or less like this. It doesn't. This is the moment what I'm going to do, So probably try first. Andi, I'm holding the brush er a bit further from this point, because if you need quite a lot of precision and you're holding closer toe, then the hairs off the brush. But in this case, I also need a bit off free movement. Another to make a, um free shape. Oh, on different direction and needles. So I'm holding in the middle off the brush and then start moment it, so just try with different directions. Play with your brush. We don't need perfect needles. He does the feeling off winter and off Christmas tree smell of buying on making different directions. Let's set a different shade of green. For this, I will mix greenways. Golden yellow will be you want warmer or you can add, uh, orange and yellow. That's also fine. So I need more meals, probably a sand off the branches that where there is more lighter there would be like the needles warmer color. And now let's add that a cool shadows out off um, green. For this, I'm mixing green with the beat off mother read that is a complementary color by mixing two complementary colors. So that is the ones who which are located on the opposite sides off one opposite, another one on the color wheel. As so you can get this complimentary color, which is nice, uh, Odinga in the shadows, the nature will get quite harmonious. Combination of colors. Undersea. Where did some heels and beat more contrast different directions? Does the moments off your brush and I said, now are a bit more definition to the bridge for this I'm going to use the burnt Sienna was a bit off while it that's a tiny dot I'm making quite six mixture. If you seeing that this is doesn't have a really lot off water because what I'm looking at a sound more effective off dry brush. That is when, like the line get interrupted. I just general direction, you know, and also, uh, the branches up pine branches as they usually have some Indians. I Let's at, uh, I'm mixing the raw sienna with that mixture off burnt Sienna. And while it on in some places I is this kind of that is just throw darts places, And I see that in this area's I'm missing a bit more contrast. So I will add a bit more off green a mixed there with, uh um was, uh, Margarette to get a bit yes, like these darker color on tool that just in several places in it I had quite a lot of water. So usually lets at this dark areas closer to their in the lower part of the range where there is less light on. Then there is motion. No, I don't feel like cooking. And let's finish the holder. We need to make it to give it a bit more off William. For this, I'm mixing yellow okra with a bit of while it that's too much to be really and beat of what Yellow more this. So on Dhere, just behind this part of Holder, let's add the shadow and from this site, then we wash our brush on Duh. Make this often. So just with a tip off the brush, removing their border was the paint. Thank you. The lower part we can add a bit more off these picture off yellow ochre away. So while it under almost done now it's time to remove our transparent plate. You see what we've got? So here sees at the shape of my, um is the shape of my Bhola is a bit out off its edge. How we can fix this of it, Have you? Maybe. Yeah, we have. Well, this one that is getting drive. We will moved on as a project, Andi, because of still win it in other threat as a decoration toe a ball, we need that it will get completely dries this part aunt as well In other to add snow, we need that it will get dries this part What we can hear Also the shadow 6. Christmas Bauble. Adding Decorative Ornament: once our window below will get drier. We will get it like this on Dhere. You can see that this beautiful effect, er which has created clean. I know, but I like it. It just have something like it looks interesting than just flat wash. Uh, what we can add here a bit more interest for this. I will. Here in the holder. I'm a missing and veto contrast that I will make. So yellow okra. I was a bit off. Ah, while it Mm. Yeah, I have this mixture. Oh, it makes a spark talk and then this. And now our relax in part is to degrade our winter ball. You can live it as it is, or I suggest you adjusted to the great. For this you can take white, gua sha and seen brush. Or if you have ah, white Uh, Ben. So then our wife and is just perfect. My wana is a you nibble signal broad Onda uh, let's degraded the waste almost snowflakes. Uh, you conduce any designer which you like. I will to sound simple one. It's time to dacoit so you can repeat the same one which I'm making or the juice Ah, some other one another to make a white men to be brighter. Um, this helps also if you make their main like as a background to darker salt and it will be it will look as a white man brighter. My case is exactly here in the center. It's synthetic has got right away. So it's not really noticeable this white. But I think that it will get its effect. Yeah. So any design which you would like really many beautiful shapes are all snowflakes onda, uh, to make It was more William. Yes. Yeah, that's one more. Here. - Yeah . Now it looks even more beautiful. One more year. This one will look beautiful because it hasn't really done background. That is really relaxing on. I think that is just perfect thing to do window for this, and especially if you are being family and blood said one more. Yeah. So where that our ball now it's much more beautiful and really, really is missing Assam Christmas tree and we need some more snow. So that more snow let's move to our final part off the glass and two will at some snow 7. Christmas Candle. Underdrawing: our second project is going to be Christmas candle. Let's have a look. A for my inspiration board. Yes, which I like, as that is to add a piece off, um, be solved dry orange, that it looks really beautiful. Then I like, uh, this'd idea off anything that a bit more off some branches. So fine on. I like this idea as well. It was, um, some element off spices, winter spices, which usually used a formal did. Why not as that. This is a star. And he's so, uh, let's try your toe. Use this combination of different elements. Also, you can have, like, this idea to make us a light within or did, um, hearts to your Kendall. My basic idea is going to be based More lessons it this one. So let's make a preliminary drawing off our candle. Um, I'm going to use for this project a five size, uh with the color paper that is cellulose one onda uh, let's keep one now playing with our circles on ellipses. So let's define First is a where is going to be, uh, our candle. I would say that it's going to be more or less Ah, in the central part Off were off our as it's going to be in the central part off our, uh, a sheet of paper that the composition is going to be central one on Let's define the border . Let's define as the edges off the candle. I would say that is going to be a B C. Also in the class project section, you can find a zoo, a template for locum positions. So if you are not, uh, it just you want a toe, have some relaxing painting as and you just can copy their preliminary drawing from, um, already template on, then toe do just as a watercolor part. So that's why don't white If you are really eager toe to draw, just go to the cross project section on download From there, there, um, template off there you can go a attention now that here it should be quite rounded borders of visa ellipse. From this site, I will place ah be so far orange. It's going to be in this the separations. But I will make it any bigger. Yeah, this one I'm Yeah. Then it has this some in that in their lion. I don't make separations. So here we have orange. Then let's side from this side. I use star unease. Uh, that this I'm making first as a science. That is, like one cross and gross. And then I makes a shape signals. It's almost like our how we feel on one more I will place from this site does that You can see on Lee a small piece. Then where will use in our composition? Uh, find course one will be here, and another one would be from thats why I would place, um beat behind the Campbell so you can see it. Only one part on I am just We're going to paint it in lieu style. That's why I am. I'm just making the general outline off the shape. Um, here I outline What is this on this Brian? Okay, so here will. Will it? Some bridge as well would be one part going up from the side. Let's add a beat on that probably direction. Uh, so I think this would be the general idea off our bridge on our preliminary drawing. So and so we have our preliminary drawing already. Now let's move into the water column. Part 8. Christmas Candle in Watercolors: I'm going to use. Ah, squirrel Brush number seven on. We'll start first with a warship off the candle. For this, I'm going to use a quite deluded light yellow cadmium yellow light. So I make it quite juicy on then away. Start that I'm covering the whole area. Can look the whole body over there and now on the side. So we will add that, uh, the shadows for this. I'm using yellow okra mixed with a bit off burnt sienna And what I have had their from the , uh, cadmium yellow light and another to transmit the one you're off the candle that we will need on both sides. We will need a tow. Make it darker. Also, you can't make a bit of shadow just from the applying nausea start. And he's London's a lot more bark and be more up shadow for this. I use up rosiana that I'm going to introduce it. Uh, yeah, that no, but also to separate. And two shows a volume from the top part on there can go. Was that this our first wash on, uh, also we can do now. He says they're like was a candle for Aziza we will need. Let's have a look first. How how it should be that you can see that, uh, magoza off the top part. The outline is a bit like orange. The central part is white. We're going to leave for the white paper. Then we can see yellow orange bread on finishing the really dark. It's almost black, so let's ah, uh, Spain's this part. I'm starting that way, sir. First Aysel take are smaller. Brush that number three and we'll start with cadmium. A yellow light make quite transparent and juicy. Make sure and I introduce it in the lower part of the candle. Then I'm 18 a veto far golden yellow. Or you can add the orange as well. Do your color mixture that would be able to work the final part I made in the mother read this work and also the outline on the door living the center white and a bit more off Mother read I had quite a lot off Mandarin. Now will be more I will makes for this really darker color attend. I will accept. I will make some of the red Was that ultramarine blue is more like terrible almost que for out why I will use a bit more concentrated top off mother really seem so you need to use the brush away is really finding. Meanwhile, let's more but to our, um so what? Orange trees. Also, what I will need to dio now is to make the separation that toe wash off the color. Twist off the color from this area if you use a cellulose paper, and that it won't be a problem for you in order to remove are some areas are off the color . I'm using just a clean water on the same te tika, Um, flat brush and just removing the color If you're using a Celulosa papers and I will be quite easy to do it. If you are using a cotton one depends on paper on you can find it a bit more complicated. So now let's add a bit more off color. Toe orange for Caesar, I will make a new light was a bit off the red. So to get through a nice orange color, will it? Did you see? Let's hope some and I made in Evita on there out the site off the orange. They went as Ah, middle part playing clear. Well, that's again removed the spark that my mixture has bean too much watery. Okay, I am. I will introduce again a bit off cannon yellow makes their with, uh, mother it. And now I remove the color and just was clean, uh, and get dry. Also, the brush with the kitchen paper. I'm just a with, uh, clean brush. I spread it with this car. Meanwhile, let's move toe our point guard for this. I'm going to use, uh, for this. I'm going to use burnt sienna, and we're going to make does the brains. So, like this I'm holding on to is the tip of the brush. I am living this shape. Which reminds us, uh, golden shape so that this all the brings off the brush. Mm. Here. We have decided to make it this and so that this doesn't prints off the brush. And here we have for the lighter part off the cone. Now we will let you beat the darker shades for this. I am using a smaller brush on time, weeks in burnt sienna, with a bit of while it in there to get these trouble. It color really nice Dark brown and I it in some places here mainly were like Is these, um parts of the coal not connect. So in this area, you know, I am I didn't darker part. Also, I'm live in some white spaces and another one So just with some brush brings in this darker color. And that's where we will introduce that even darker color forces. We will make a secret color the mixture off burns and now with while it on also introduced some areas here close to the bottom. Yeah, it was It was about that. Oh, also, let's make now a nisa for these I will use the same color. So which I have your stuff or pine cones that these burnt sienna the first way it. And meanwhile, let's move to our fine bridge as we have bean is that is the same principle as we have used in our first projector. First will the at the warm shades need also for Aziza. I will make green I'm using the same are fine. Deep brush. Uh Kolinsky Sable Number three on for this we will makes green you can use Also sample green. We said, uh I will make sit there with golden yellow, or you can use as well orange and yellow here. I have really warm. Now with this we're holding as of Russia, the media loves a brush. Uh, like this mainly, uh, trying door. Um, control it with two fingers and alert to make it, um, move freely. Andi way makes me needles in different directions. So I'm sure that once of the longer ones I really like the combination of the colors. It really transmutes the warmth of the candle on generally the worms. All Greece must. The dinos band was family. So I hope that you also injuring. Thank you, miss. When, uh, ministrations and especially if you are painted it will say your Children, That is really a lot of fun. Spend time together and Beverly and do some activities. Great. Do activities together. It's always inspiring. And, uh, that in its I think that our beauty off Christmas one Here we have 9. Christmas Candle. Adding Pine Cones and Spices: aunt. Also, we can't as well. Uh, the Kalusha doze off green. For this we're mixing green with red as a mixture should be quite sick. So actually the shadows would be where there are buying guards. All right, also in that area. So, like in the lower part of branches or where there is light, less light coming here, it's branch, which is behind So with two fingers, I'm playing with my brush. Do we need a bit more of contrast? I foresee. So I will also what I have noticed what I would like to correct my painting is this? Yeah, I want to make it soft. So just with a clean brush I did it in water on then making self to this part that I wanted that it would be is a reflection off the corn on the candle. But, uh, generally in my ideas at this corner would be behind so that you won't see this side. So here we have. I'll let second back out to our porridge and whether it be more orange colored it. I am using burnt sienna who is a bit off orange. That would be like worm cinnamon color I would say, And I'm making the outer line off the piece of orange this front as well. I will leave that one. And then was I'm working now with a deep off the brush brushstrokes first defying that Oz age. Yeah, on then, making it living lighter A central part off the section on, uh, making darker there outline. Yeah, the same was old. Seem, it's I'm using burns on somewhere. I'm using burnt sienna mixed out with, uh while it hear words. There is more shadow giving decker this part Let's make again with a bit darker that is burnt sienna with I think that was a really tiny amount off Violet. I make yeah out because there's at this dry orange so it doesn't have so bright colors as a fresh one. How and now let's at that a bit more off. William. Make a bit more volume to our candle for a cease I'm using is the same burnt sienna, which I have already on my belt here and making it deeper shadows sport the central part. I am living life or removing the color I it's better to use synthetic rush. You know, you may see that it's completely friend effect because it has, um, beat stronger on, uh, rough hairs. It's really comfortable to remove their color. We're sending rushes and let's add a bit more off, uh, William from the sides of the rush for this again, I'm using a Bernstein that Why didn't it? I need to introduce. Yeah, so and now let's make its most I am washing and cleaning on my brush. And now and extra what I removed with their kitchen towel on. Now I'm making soft age. No. This? Yeah, just with a tip the brush and correcting the sheikh que then lets it a bit more off burnt sienna. It's quite a transparent and quite deluded, the mixture off color area, because it's so Yeah. Yeah, It's also quite dark in that area. Where is this site to make a bit off? Um, shadow gives a shadow, uh, these and gain angry and my brush drying later with kitchen dollar and making soft edge. That was it. Just with the tip of my brush. Um, making it like softer smosh. They choke there. Here. I just do, you know, So try to keep this amenity. I try to keep this area white light on the sides of the candle and the doctor on Geno will the people. Nadine's a contrast to our being. So now let's at the central part or Nisa for thes We will need the burnt Sienna with a bit off while it the way I just It is a center. This It's one missing, which Okay, I think that my orange is lacking a bit off warms and orange color. I will use golden yellow. No better to make it baby more cheerful so that the death golden yellow Um, yeah, I had some police is. Then I clean my brush and it was clean brush. I am making smooth. He's let's remove or be more off the color in other to make this separation because he appeared completely So it's clean. What? That I'm moving and I always clean water. I removed a bit of extra water with the kitchen power and then I moved here. He's separation. Then let's said are more contrast. Do there fire for this? I am mixing, uh, get me on my yellow lighter with a veto mother read and you just beat with cling brush. I'm making soft edge just visited. I'm spread you color that it would be quite small just on do you want see, Really defined edge you have some color with And meanwhile a lets it more contrast it to our, uh, Brian branches for this I used grin. Who is mother? Read. Okay, well, that's something that would give also sound contrast Give also yes, where there is up. Also, we can add a bit off. Uh, on trust is a fine going. Yeah, where's there? Are, like in their depth. So, um, of the court, usually it's darker. I'm using the same mixture over green with moderate. And here I would be tomorrow. Need else. I tried to make it make the needles also in different directions. They don't grow all the time saying they also go like interacting. Um, yeah, more So now it is more interest on a doctor. Syria. Where's the reso? Another equal. Let's also add a bit. Make a bit more off. Contrast it here at the lower part off the court, I'm mix in a bit more off green with, uh, mother it. So now we have even interest on, and probably I will um So this part of the condo in this area I will let the mixture or, uh, burnt sienna with a bit of while It be a bit off reflection off the corner, on the body, off Kendall on the same from this site, A bit more off burnt sienna was mixed. Always wild. Yeah, make more warrior on with a clean brush on making soft egx that extra What I am really? Well, Ramona with kitchen power. Thanks. On your bit more off, William Making shortage on Let's come back toe. Um so our orange I'm using burnt Sienna make it out. That is just burn snap Making it so that And I would like to with the same burns. Yeah, without mixing it. Was anything here a bit more Off contrast. I'm using Barcia. Yeah, and now it looks more like orange because it was meeting some contrast and some orange and we're almost done that we will need as well, too. Or thes. I will use a mixture off burn, See? And I was while it this part What we have and I will make any 10. Christmas Candle. Adding Contrast: once our candle has got dry, let's have a look. A where is, um, missing some definition or some contrast on and lets it Maybe more strokes A Here, for example, I would it, um, a bit more definition tothis. Uh, so I will be more definition. That was a star shape with shape. Yeah, Andi. Then also, I wouldn't more definition to the it off that orange. I'm using the, uh, burn see in them and quite concentrated. Quite. See, it would be quite done. Yeah, and more sources say, a blind move that is always burnt. Ian, I'm probably a bit more here to give more dips The candle that this burns, you know, ways Beato while it. But that is more like final touches. And have a look at your, um, candle. Probably You want need to do this, and it's more like, uh, that always is possible. Door improve, improve. But also to know the moment when to stop, as I say you will overpasses that surpasses that limiter that point when? Now the watercolor will lose its, um, transparency and the lightness so And here I also will. It really concentrated the mother, right? That will make so much. Just a whistle went brush, clean water. I'm this and I think that I'm now I'm happy with the result. And I hope that you do also happy with a result off your candle. 11. Robin. Simple Shapes Practice: and now is there when we will need the most our skill. So off drawing circles we're going to paint down. Robbing that is really bright. Sign Mbola off a winter on already allows a PSA tiny and cheerful guard. Let's have a look of that generally, as the shaper is. Ah, more or less a circle. No, it's close at the circle, Lizzie so lips are on. Does then are smaller ellipse out off the head. So let's practice a meter withdrawing as these shapes. Um, so here we are going to make so ago because it's quite fluffy on drowned in bird. So you know we have here. You can go out this part off the wings on then another Alex Small one. That is a. And now we're just a making a general wine, joining our simple shapes. Yeah, I'm from another site. It's small. Next, this'll part. Also, let's have a look. A swell on the colors that usually I would go. So here it's going to be and I on the, um, side off. The brass day is, uh, bright orange orange threat on. Then darker parts are going to be here on the older said I Let's have a look out. I don't know that, um, position, for example, this one. The same you can see here is that ellipse and as it slips on, then some barter which are older. So then let's try rest. Then here is going to be another addict. So for this, we have been making so many exercises warming up exercises at the beginning. And now we join it with one wine. There's ground things from this side that makes move this line on the make. All right. Here it was a deal. And again we see that the orange red orange part is this part on the darker Politzer that says the wings hounds. This part is the lightest. Yeah, uh, one more. Let's have a look. Um, for example, this one again, Was he here at IPs here? Because, Well, this is the position of head. And then that's connect. I'm drawing them quite big. You know that a smaller because my once looks almost like chicken, but it's also like to show the simple shapes on uh, I have an idea. Once we will draw it in their composition that you won't have to paint them so weak. And also in what the colors onto his contrast that they will be smaller. But, yeah, it's a begin. If you see them like this, they don't look like robbing More like chicken. Well, next, um uh um, yeah, he has open big, so it's going to be like this Legs here is going to be and I The shape of the head is a B like this. Yeah. No. You again. Uh, this part is going to be orange red. That part is going to be here that they will, um, does ahead on the wings. One more. Um, let's they exist. One, because quite cute. Her position on. And it's quite funny. Let's right this one again. Here we can see that it's a lip shape. Happens to be the wiser. You are going to be also wings on, then here it's more complicated. Um, that I would say that the shape is here one and lips. I'm then smaller one. But is this And now let's, um, make the line that would line of that general shape that is going to be like this from the site like this on the fourth. This here in the center is going to be the big on here. I I'm here. And as I and we see again, this part is going to be orange, Red, orange. The doctor s part are going to be the ones aren't you? Would be with legs. I don't feel they also is, like, double divided to be like we'll put it on the range. It's going to be you get to imagine how with this Andi Uh um, actually, I believe in the class project description selling the my pictures folder on rubbings on. You can just play around with the shapes on the pain. The one which you, those ones would you like. Okay. Oh, let's take this one as well. Where's this one? We have seen it already, and one more. This one on Dwyer will finish. So again, that is, this one is almost circle. And let's make it smaller. Just saying that this likes go up here is another ellipse. And now we make the line. No body, Rose said, has really around it. Wrist. Thanks. And here the wounds, the dale, this dark parts on the orange part of the same Well, that's a big and I I'm here orange, red, orange. So just play around with different shapes and different positions off Rob. It's on. Uh um Then you will have idea, Actually, like the complicated for to make it out off simple forms in this case, off Zaragoza on off Ellipses does play around with several positions and shapes are under. Then, uh, let's move to our main painting. 12. Robin. Underdrawing: So if you have breakfast enough for with drawing a Rubens, then let's make our class project Robbins on the brain. Find bridge for this project. I will use what? The color paper. And because the size is 18 hour by 24 centimeter scented contains 25% off cotton. Uh, let's make first as a preliminary draw winner off our rebates. Oh, what? That we're going to pain three robins? Um, probably they will be sitting on the range like this on it. It would be one looking directly to us on the tomorrow. Would be looking in the it isn't. You go. As we have, remember, as we have practiced that they should be quite rounded. Lafi, Um, the This will make us that like that funny one. I'm looking. Let's made something. Was this face expression I like again? I'm making one a main ellipse on then for the head on for the America. I'm making another well exists on then. The general wine. This like this here one night on your pick. Yeah, closer. He's going to be. So here is one. Then another one will be looking in these directions that seem some ellipse to be quite did . What on here will be another lips. He's head then, General, y knows about you. We're connected. There is going to be epic on a night. Probably. I would like to make it around it. Yeah, you Some likes, um their wings and the tail I'm from this site will make one more looking in the direction again. One, Alex. Another lips. Let's make it. We're gonna be up in general. Why? Yeah, they'll and they would be sitting on some Ah, bridge. Let's say like this, I i Because a bit like flat, flat and head. Yeah, So as we have seen in and the Brewers examples is that they care for some part, which is, uh, the, uh, breast on, um, about that I lying. So that part is foreign. Trent on another one is, uh, Doc Award. If you need that as the direction you can paint here, like, just really light line till where you would like to make this orange orange color. So, like, disease. And then now, with soft rubber, we're going to remove a bit, Uh, the pencil lines. This I hope that you still can't see you. My under growing walking. So if you're ready, then now let's start with the color part 13. Robin in Watercolors: they left that that was the color part for Aziza. We will need, um have prepared our mixture. I'm going to use one for washes. One brush, which is squirrels. Care on another one, which is settles here. I'm going to use for reading the color because this'll won't dilute. Is the pain so much hunters? That's what I am looking for. That's what I need. Ah, the color mixture. So which we're going to add? That is for the red orange part. I'm going to make, uh, yellow okra waste Golden green. Who was golden yellow. Andi, Uh, English Red. Uh, you can, um you cannot check. Um, you So if you don't have this color, say you can change a yellow golden yellow for orange on the big of yellow on the English right, You can substitute it with any brown color. So which you have on Davidoff Mother Rhett. So here we have our mixture on also to this. Make sure we can, at later to make it a bit brighter on bond to give it more contrast a bit off mother red. So that is going to be one mixture. Andan other mixture is going to be four feathers a dark up color for these I will use, uh, ultramarine blue makes the wiz orange that you will see that if you will get some really great color that does this mixture that is lies if and also you can add a meat off moderate . Then it will be more that reddish orange and ultramarine blue with, uh, orange. You will get these kind off bluish gray this kind of color. So if you already I have prepared the three Russia's one with orange red color, Another one with uh huh bluish gray and another one squirrel hair said Just clean one. And I will use a clean water and will worry with the water the whole shape off the, um off Robbie the warden and I So I do not cower night on big, but the rest of the body the main part. I thought it was just plain water. I can show it so you can see that that didn't want them. And now let's as the color we will start there with, uh, orange. You see that it's spreading quite quickly. Szukala so probably will have to wait a bit because Susannah, it's not really like this, Onda. Um we will need to enter a bit more concentrated, Uh, and the darker and more concentrated the color. So for this again, I'm mixing yellow okra. Where is golden yellow? And was a bit off English red on the game. I would be more. I had a closer tothis h a bit more concentrated. That is like it was a breast. And you really interested? They have darker on the brighter color, huh? Onda bit more off, mother. Read some and I will take one more Russian. Another to correct the spreading off. This so like this To correct you how the colorist credit. And now let's move on to the dark apart. So this is a mixture off ultramarine blue with, uh, orange on. We will it from this site. He's a head. We need toe move quite quickly So that the colors I will get mixed up Quite, uh, smoothly. I deal. There is Ah, what does this? Ah basic. So here we come. One will be what we can do The edge to make it a bit more walking that I'm, uh, just a deeper my brush in I did my brush in clean water, then remove some extra water. Was kitchen towel on gold Just message so that to show that it has periods has got already dry. So I won't get beautiful ethic But the years to transmit Ah, that it is so fluffy we can and what we can do You stood a bit more color here and then we'll get this crop. So yeah, first it'll be. And now let's move those a 2nd 1 Okay, I will have to prepare games and color mixtures at this. I will have to prepare against Cal emissions at this yellow okra, golden yellow and a bit of industry on the game. Uh, I'm just going with that the shape of the Roman that's clean. What? That Let's show you you can t What? Also pay attention that not to have here some barrels of water if you have those panel suggested removed, uh, get dry your brush and then I want you know, we will know that your brush is dry, that it will be in this shape that it won't have so much water on. Then just, uh, where you see the pedal, you just attach with your brush, and it will absorb process that extra water, because in those areas are where would be some pedals? Um, the painter would be. Won't be like It will be really deluded that Andi it will make no really nice effect. Okay, So while I was took it, my open has been He's gonna try. When was that? So porridge. All right. And now a bit more off. Uh, this color mixture. I'm adding a vehicle a mother read to make it right so you can see that the water is spreading. Quite. The collar is spreading. Quite what? Because I want to live here a bit more off white area. And now let's add the doctor part that this ultramarine blue mixed there with orange. Well, that's a bit more off marine, then is going to be beautiful. More beautiful, this great bluish gray. So here we have another will be Well, it's getting dry. You can notice. Is that, uh, the state of their paper? All the time is changing. Based on the while, it is getting dry, so you still can add a bit more off contrast on, uh, correct is a shape. Always remember, if you need make itself introduction of the color to make soft edge. Andi, I were certain, Robbie, I'm covering the with water. His body on the red side orange mixture. Okay. Like this and maybe more Read sold it right like these. And now was a dark part that this drama in blue with orange and by 18 more primary you can change it towards whiter or buy it in a more orange You can change as a mixture, turning it more great. So yeah, and I think that was a day life. So here we have our so in driving. So while uh, they get and right, let's move to our bridge. I think that what I'm everything that I would like to make this part more fluffy. Yeah, because I have more water. Tell him it's at the game. And now I am making small stage smooth introduction or blending the one color into another . Let's start with and maybe darker. Well, Europa, this my brush area contains er not really a lot of water on, uh, so that because if you will add too much water now your mixture would be the water is. Then it can grate not really. Nice effect. Quite snow. We So be careful while you're 18 now. Every mall. Thanks. Here. Yeah. I would suggest also that when you are going before, I didn't know what the colors Trying to remove a quite well, the pencil line. I have left it so that you could see the but it will be better. Because what color is really transparent And you can see that Trace yourself. Pencil underneath. Now let's move Though their branch 14. Robin. Christmas Tree Branch in Watercolors: And now let's move to the bridge. Our first let's makes outline was a bridge I'm using are burnt sienna forces. Um, just quite dropped Lee my And now I'm taking the brush will find it What? And again I'm for, uh I need also I'm mixing green for warm change green now with gold and yellow Or you can make so we mix it with orange and here have quite warm green on Then I'm holding in the middle of the brush and just like free movement off went imitating that deals I helped a bit I'm just removing extra paint because it's too watery And I don't need so much water I think I will remember because I got it to water it. So like this in different directions on here. Just dancing with your brush making great in meals makes him in different directions, you know, they would be able to intersect in Onda. Uh, let's it different shade of green I makes in green a with a bit off mother read we head we get is his color Maybe talk up trust, so just relax. Um Andre banking be tomorrow makes show cream. I'm still mixing green with a mother read No more needles under news. A branch wars. There is, uh, less light is coming through. So there would be the darkest yes, and would be more mom don't doctor meals. So just play around with your brush on that morning, girls. Now let's it be more. They are green Nixon, Greenaway's mother threat. And in some places, like under the branch, I will it like to make it to give it more contrast? I will let a bit more or oh, like this dark color because otherwise we're still like missing the dark. Will you to show that I want to show the one human for our bridge. What? So I'm making already big brush strokes Quite sick. So I would say like this. And now let's, uh, also define the shape off the bridge forces. I will make some burnt sienna with a bit of while it be sure that your brush be Why? Because we're going to make it a bit like with, uh, dry brush strokes. So that's why uh, the color mixture should be quite sick. The color makes you should be quite sick on, uh, the Russia should be like you can see that it's it doesn't have, uh, quite the little water. So by the stroke, So we're live in some spaces white and yet absent, usually buying branches. They have some kind off these kind off endings and close their cold. So has this type. And now let's come back to our rubbings. Uh, quite right. Still there. What? Because it's, ah, many cellulose paper. You can notice that if you touch that, you can remove even my fingers a bit off every Dhofar color. So then let's paint, uh, ice for this I will uses a mixture or mm. What am I in blue on? The Paynes Grey entirely on you win it to leave small, tiny areas That would be white, that it would be my reflection. The one which is looking at I say e it won't have around I So it's going to be a We will see some part of spear. This one. Now let's at the exports is I will use the same mixture which I have used for the dark part of the body Drama in blue, No blue with orange to be some okay on Geno for beak. I made in my image in this mixture Off trauma and blue is uh huh. Always orange. It was a bit more off blue that I want that these great would be more into the blue grass is en great. Andi will let some definition to the wings and the tail to make it more undressed. That's always, uh, some for strokes in his direction that you need just toe transmitted feeding that there's a raw the wings. Yeah. I don't like it me a bit more off interest. I am. I don't have quite a lot of water in my brush so that it's actually like dry brush strokes . Yeah. And my mixtures, Kweisi, it also doesn't have a lot of water. And, uh, let's make the same whizzes, uh, read the orange mixture for Aziza. I'm mixing. You know, Chris, it shouldn't be a water is this mixture. So because the color is quite sick. Ah, yet or golden yellow and a bit of English wrath and just any weight off mother read. So, yes, the mixture is like this. So just toe at some strokes. Um, what I'm doing. I said I'm just separating like this. So that it to have the tape off my brush, like multiple. What's so lets a lady on I will it have it all? Fathers you need to have Not really a lot off color mixture. Your brush on, uh um, like this. So it should be quite dry. Dry in different directions. Yes, to transmit that the texture off buzzers. So, uh, in the color, Mr Should be quite sick. There was a few amount off. A little amount off. Water on does the same. Mom's a brush. It should be quite dry. And you just make it legs shape on the brush also should be quite with white drop hairs. So it should be. Are the same genetic one or could be several? One. My one is going, But with synthetic one, it also will work on just with this multiple endings. Where did the texture? We'll use everything, officers. So I will Robin already 15. Let it Snow. Creating Snow Effect: So we have done our three broke class projects. Um, what we can enter if you're happy with the way they are themselves. That's fine on duh. But if you would like to add some more like winter touch, then we can add some snow. You can use the way, sir. One is a with a white men. So you're just disease moments and just don't start starts. And then you add some texture or snow or I like another way. No, that is always white wash. Um, I will use us and Utica brush. We will need the door. Don't some white wash, so I'm just take it in the paint and moving it to my ballot. It's quite concentrated. It should be quite. What are about at the same time are quite concentrated. It will be too sick then it won't be possible to make the prince. It will be the water is, and to dilute it is, and also it won't be possible to notice that it's no. And then was that the so sponge? We're like this on the from the top of branches. Davidoff Snow. I like more with Teoh. That's no response because of that it's not so uniform alert. Comparator to the, uh Does it Ben on? Uh, then it's more snow wish effect. So here we're And also look a different kind of sponges. I have found the formula works better. The one which has, as they say, regular holes, different sizes. Bigger, smaller ones. Don't you know? We have our Robbins always know. Well said some snore nobody to snowball brings, So know how Here also. That's not Andi. Uh, it's for Kendall. I'm not sure that was I wonder. No, do it some snow. Let's probably just for the candle. I will live the way it is. I like it the way it is without snow. So where that I hope that you have enjoyed painting, not ours, this winter with their compositions. Andi Also, if you have painted in family, then I really hope that your husband really nice our time together on great in something. Um so, like, heartwarming. Let's say lazy Andi, I would really eager to see what you have created. So please upload your project in the glass Project gallery on the main thing.
