Transcripts

1. HELLO & WELCOME: Out of all the seasons we have in India, winter is one of my favorite seasons. And if I tell you the most favorite part of it is that to be in your blanket and wake up early lead in the morning. Though we don't feel a little bit lazy during these days. But painting is something that I can never skip on. So I thought let me create a beautiful glass for all of you, in which we are going to be in three beautiful paintings based on winter. Where all the paintings are willing to be easy, simple, and elegant, heavy buddy myself, metric by de Lima, self-taught independent artist based in Gujarat, India. So people who might not be knowing me and, and join me recently can find most of my art bonds being displayed on Instagram. I go by the name should Raja rotations. We are going to paint three different paintings with increasing level of difficulty. We are going to talk about the quality of watercolor paper that you will need. I'll be giving you all the details about the art supplies that you will need for the entire class. We are going to talk about the 12 colors in detail. So before starting every individual BIM team, there is going to be a little bit of practice session, which I'll be teaching you how to paint every individual element that is used in the painting. We are going to learn different techniques like wet on wet, wet on dry. How to give a nice reflection effect in water body. So we're going to start with a basic sketch with your Benson and then we'll be working on the background wash, where you'll be learning how to blend all the colors together. We are going to be in some beautiful, nice snowy mountains. And I'll be teaching you how to give a nice texture to the entire mountain. They are going to paint every individual element in detail like pine trees. We're also going to learn how to make a beautiful water body and gave some amazing deflection effect. I'll be also teaching you how to give my new details to the elements. And I'll make sure that you come up with an amazing output. So the first painting is a winter house than they are willing to bend over into forest and a beautiful winter lake. No need to worry. The classes suited for all level artist and beginners can learn a lot from this. So yeah, without any delay in grab your art supplies and join me in creating these beautiful winter paintings. 2. ART SUPLLIES: So before we start painting, it is very important for all of you to know the correct art supplies and that we will need in this entire class. So now let me give you a basic grief about all the art supplies and only two Wudi in case you do not have the same art supplies, go for any other good alternative. So now let us talk about the watercolors first. So the watercolors that I'm having high from Gusto. So these are basically artist grade watercolors. And it does not adopt compulsory to have a same brand. And in fact, if you are a beginner, I would suggest to, to start with US students in grade watercolors first. So whenever you are working with watercolors, it is very necessary to keep a paper napkin side light so that you can clean up the excess amount of water. So now let us talk about the watercolor papers, which is the most important part. The watercolor papers that I'm using are from Canson, and these are 300 GSM and 140 and me. So the GSM me or plays an important role. This is about the thickness of your watercolor paper so that you can apply heavy washes on it. Let me just take one out and show it to you all. So as you can see, that this is our watercolor paper, and it is really vague, nice in thickness. So it is not at all compulsory to have the same brand new can get another bunch of nice watercolor papers also. Now talking about some basic stuff like arrays. I was in sharpness, which everybody must be having. So now let me talk about the color palette. So this is basically a calm backed watercolor ballot enrich you and these literals had meant to place your different watercolors. And you can also see bad knees are very nicely arranged and you also have our nice mixing space. No need to worry at all in case you do not have this kind of palette, you can use a simple watercolor palette as well, like the one I'm showing you right now. So this is basically a simple color palette and which you can pull your fellows and use it, or you can use as imposed ceramic palette also. So it is absolutely really necessary to keep a spray bottle handy so that you can loosen up your watercolors and gaze. They are very much Titan or dried up. Now the most important part, The handy materials like the bend and brushes that we're going to use. So let us talk about the brushes paused and then I'll be giving you a brief about the bends. So the first one is a mop brush of size eight. So this is not from any particular brand. It is symbol local brand, I guess. And you can find it very easily in any nearby ON supply store. The second one is a flat gush of half-inch and those brushes from Campbell. Now, another brush is round brush, which is basically a detailing brush of size 0. And doesn't Russia is also from camel. And the last one which is an alternative to your mop brush. So this is basically add-on rush of size eight. You can use this in case you do not have a more pressure. And that's it. So these are all the four brushes vacuum will need. Now let us talk about the bends and simple Benson that definitely everybody has. So leaving lead to Ben's basically one as a black man and another one as a white pen mode. The bends are from Sakura Gelly Roll. And it is absolutely fine if you have any other good black pen or a white men from any other bland and assemble Benson that you will use to draw basic sketches. So yeah, these are all the art supplies that you will need. I will also be mentioning them in that class information. Now without any delay, Let's move towards the next segment. 3. MAINTAIN PRACTICE JOURNAL: So it's been awhile I have been producing artwork on regular basis. And if I have to give you our best advice and your art career, it would be to maintain practice journal always with you. Now you might be wondering that why to keep a blacklist book when we can paint directly on paper. So now let me show you my boss know Jonah. So this is basically a book that I'm adding for awhile. And I tried to practice on this book on a regular basis. Now, the major reason behind keeping our practice journal as not to show anybody else. This is for your own satisfaction and your own day-to-day practice, which will make your perfect day by day. Trust me on this. Now, having our practice journal doesn't mean you have to paint our particular painting on it every day. Knowing that is not true, you can paint different elements, tried to practice the different types of washes you have. You can mean different elements, sketches with your pencils. You can use your pens, use some extra scribbling. So now as you can see that for this particular class, we are having these three beautiful paintings based on winter. We have these little elements like the pine tree. Mountains are little house with a nice background wash. So before starting every individual painting, we'll be practicing all the difficult elements and then we'll be moving towards the final painting. So now I hope that you will also maintain an art journal for your day-to-day practice. 4. PAINTING 1 - LETS PRACTICE: So here we are with our first painting, which is w0 internally. And let us back to us all the elements that we have in this particular painting. So take a rough watercolor paper or any kind of rough sketch book that you have, or if you are maintaining and determine for yourselves. So this is the fourth painting that we are going to have. So the elements that we are going to practice for this particular painting is this guy, which is having a nice blend. So you can see there's a darker patch on the right side and it isn't going to be lighter on the left side. Now after the sky, we have the mounting that we are going to practice. And the last one is the reflection effect on the board. So let us start with the sky forest. So as you can see, there's a nice blend on the background. So use your simple pencil and start to draw with the mountains. So this is not at all difficult. You just have to draw a simple horizontal line which represents the origin. And you have to draw these little mountains. So the mountains are basically in two layers. There is a front portion which is in black, and these again portion is in white. So that White Mountains represents mountains. Now what we're going to do is that we are willing to take our flat brush and simply apply nice wash of simple plain water. Use your half inch flat brush and simply make sure that you do not coincide the mundane line. You just have to simply apply a thin layer of water. So now as you can see that we have applied a nice thin coat of water. So to check whether you have applied the code correctly or not, whatever light you are having in your particular area, just simply move your page and see whether the court is perfect or not. Make sure that you do not have water pools in your entire paper. Now let's start with ultra marine. So I have taken some nice ultra marine in my flat brush and we are just giving a nice outskirt to the mountains cost. And then you have to just move your brush in the direction I'm moving. So now we are blending several in blue with ultramarine as you can see. So there isn't a perfect pattern to do this. You just have to simply move your brush and there's random manner. Just make sure that you have darker color values on the right portion. Now what I have done is that I had simply taken lightly by napkin and cleaned up my flat brush. And when you move obtained up land rush, you get these little light strokes also. So as you can see that we have paint in the sky. And one thing that I want all of you to take in mind is that it is not at all necessary that you get a same land every time. Watercolors are not meant for that. This is a natural medium. So you will get different type of natural blending all the time. So what I did is that I just took some solid black and Mike Whalen brush and paint in different mountains. So these are the mountains that are coming in the front portion and the back ones are snowy mountains. So only two Bain back. We'll just apply a little bit of black patches. Just simply take your paper napkin and dry or Gold Rush. They wouldn't be some color remaining on your gold rush. Knew just how to make these little scribbling on the door of the White Mountains. So as you can see, we have applied a nice texture to it. So now let us start with the board's first. So take our black pen and try to practice scribbling this little boats on the vent portion. So now as you can see, what is the benefit of having an art journal, practice journal, you can definitely use it for your day-to-day practice. So I have just simply scribble these two modes which we are having in this painting. No need to worry, we'll be drawing this in detail. Bendy moved towards our final painting. So once you are done with your scribbling, what we're going to do is that we are going to apply a nice coat of water below the boat. So now just simply take your flat brush, have them sertraline blue in it, and have these little strokes coming out of the horizon line. Now using the same address, you have to apply a little bit of horizontal strokes just below the board so that we can apply some nice reflection effect. So initially I have applied some ceremony in blue below the water modes. Now what do you have to do is just wait for a while so that the water settles. Now, I had taken some gamboge and NyQuil brush. And we are going to make these little strokes. Basically these are horizontal strokes. And you have to move this and the direction I'm moving right now. So as you can see, the damage is getting a nice blend when DC drill in blue. What you're going do is that you can just tap your paper napkin to dry extra amount of color. And now simply again, take your quill brush and start to make these little horizontal strokes. So at times in watercolors, what happens is that you might get a little bit of access amount of water. So no need to worry. That's why I told you to have a paper napkin handy so you can buy about the extra amount. Now what I have done is that I had taken some lighter values of black. And I'm making these little horizontal strokes again, and some darker patch below the mode so that you can get a nice shadow effect. So now let me show you the reflection effect in a little bit more detail. You just have to move your quill brush and less horizontal direction phi in case you are not having a quill brush around rash. As you can feel, this is very easy. You just have domain these little horizontal strokes in a random manner. So these are all the elements that we got to practice for this particular painting. I hope that you got some help out of it. Now let us move towards the final painting. That would be really great if you practice first and then move towards the final paintings to get a better output. Let's recall for one's li elements that you need to practice are the blue sky, mountains and board reflection. 5. PAINTING 1 - THE WINTER LAKE: So I hope that you got to learn from the practice session. And now let us move towards the final painting, which is the winter link, and which is our first painting. So let us talk about the colors first. So the watercolors that you will need as ultra marine, several in blue and black, titanium white, and gambit. So here I have a plain sheet of watercolor paper, which is 300 GSM. And these watercolor papers are from Canson. So let us start with our basic sketch forced. So simply draw a horizontal line on the center of the page, which is the horizon line, and try to make these little mountains. The mountains are basically in two layers, the 401 and the back one. So what we're going to do is that different membranes are going to be black and the background Danes are going to be white, which are basically these normal attains. Since this is our winter based painting. Now let us start drawing the boards. So again, using our simple pencil and what we're going to do is when we are willing to draw two modes. So these are basically the reference sketches on which we are going to paint. Sandy dry domain, the modes, the way I'm trying to make. So we are having default mode, enter perspective manner. No need to worry. This is not at all difficult. Does try to practice it first and then come to the final painting. And what you can do is that you can give these little horizontal lines to let you know where to give the reflection. Now the second boat is just behind the first port. So it is going to be a little bit smaller in size because this is basically a perspective view. Now we are going to have a little bit of details in the modes. Right now. You can just scribble it with pencil, but we are going to make it even more perfect with our painting rash. That is always good to start with the top portion when you're working with watercolors. So now simply take your flat brush, which is a half inch flat brush, and take blame clear water in it. Use the edge of your flat brush and apply a thin coat of water on the sky. Make sure that you do not apply water inside the mountains. That would spoil your painting in case you have a little bit of water inside, just take your dry brush and wipe out the external torque water that have come inside. Now what we are going to do is that we are going to take several in blue first and simply take it in your flat brush applied on the outskirts of the mountain. So as you can see, there is a nice blend already happening because we have applied water initially. So this is basically known as wet on wet technique. Now what I have done is that I had taken darker values of ultra marine. And I'm making these little strokes which are coming towards the right portion. So whenever you glean that you have access amount of water in your brush, just dab it in your paper napkin and try to blend all the colors together. So as you can see, we have got a nice darker patch on the right side, which is coming towards the left portion and it is getting lighter in tone. So again, I'm taking some little bit darker values of ultra marine and trying to put it on the outskirts of the mounting, make sure that you do not go inside the mountain. And we are done with the sky. So let it dry. Now simply take your flat brush again, have some lighter values of a chromatin. And making these little horizontal strokes. No need to worry initially your water code will be above the pencil line, but that is absolutely fine. That is still visible. Now what I have done is I have taken some darker values of ultramarine, as you can see. And just below the horizon line made these little strokes. So these are basically the shadow vector coming from the mode and the horizon line. Now what we're going to do is that we are using our quill brush and we are willing to take darker values are in black. So just take a look at like Alabama at I had taken darker values of black and make sure that you do not have access a lot of water in your brush. Painting. The first layer of mountains which are willing to be black. So this is basically an advantage of a quill brush. You can use the dip of the quill brush to get into the details and apply color and difficult areas. So I'm just filling up the mountains with black. Don't need to hurry at all in case you find the video a little bit faster, there's an option below. You can definitely slow it down if you are painting with me. Now using the same quill brush, what we are going to do is that we are going to add a little bit of texture on the White Mountains, which are these little mountains. So I had just simply taken my gouache brush and I'm cleaning it up. Tap it on your paper napkins so that you do not have lambda values. And just simply mean these little textures on the top portion on the White Mountains. As you can see, we get a nice contrast between the mountains and the mountains that are on the back portion. So now what we are going to do is that we are going to pay him the boats. So I deepened my girl brush and we have taken some darker values on Gambia. Tried to apply a nice thick coat of water color on the boards fast. So both are basically having a wooden texture generally. So we applying damage on it. So as you can see, we've got a nice darker patch of gamboge on default mode. Now similarly tame the same gamboge color and apply it on the second roll, which is on the backside. So as you can see, I'm using the tip of my brush. And the major advantage of Gilgamesh is that that you can use it. Step 2, add my new details, but no need to worry in case you do not have a quill brush, you can use a round brush. Now what I have done is that I had simply taken some darker values. I'm black and I'm adding it on the inner portion of the board which is visible right now. Now simply add these darker values on the edges of the board also so that you get a nice depth. So as you can see, I'm just adding these little strokes from lack. Now what you can do is that you can apply a little patch of black just below the boat so that we get a nice shadow effect. And if you are focused on the practice session, this is how you got to make a nice reflection coffee or boat on the water body. So just simply tap your round brush, otoconial brush that you have. And just make these little horizontal strokes that are vanishing as they come towards the bottom portion. So now as you can see that the boards look even more attractive and realistic, then the ad, ad and biggies, lennon reflection effect on the water body. So now what we're going to do is that we are simply going to add these little deflection effect on the mountains as well. So again, simply add taken Mike Wellman brush and I have taken some darker values are black. And you have to just simply mean these little horizontal strokes. So similarly, like the ones which we did on the board, we are adding horizontal lines more towards the horizon line and make them less as you move towards the bottom side. So again, we have given the mountains a nice reflection effect on the water body. Now what I'm doing is I'm having my black pen from Sakura Gelly Roll. So we are using this black pen to add the wooden plank detail for the boat. So as you can see, I'm just pulling in the direction. Now you can add these little minute details to enhance your paintings so that it looks even more attractive. Now let us attach a nice rope to the lake. So I'm just adding these rough strokes. So as you can see, I'm just making a speed stroke. Be very much careful while doing this. No need to hurry at all. Now using my white pen from Sakura Gelly Roll, we are adding some details to the mountains. So you just have to tap your white pen near the horizon line. Now what you can do is that using the same light pen you can draw the moon sends out tonight view. So we are taking a moon. Simply draw a circle as you can see and try to give it our solid patch. Now using the white pen, we're going to add some birds in the sky. So no need to worry, this is very easy. You just have to make these kind of shape. As you can see. Also, if you find it difficult in drawing for the first time, what you can do is that you can practice it on a graph sheet of paper and then come to your final painting. So now to enhance the white color and give it a good contrast, use your black pen and add these little depth to the board so that it looks better in the sky. So we are almost done with the painting. It is always good to add your signature, mellow the painting. So that basically as an identity of an artist. If you are running a label, you can add the name of your label as well. So I hope that you enjoyed this painting. This is absolutely a very easy and simple painting to me. And I'm very excited to see all of your projects in the project gallery. Feel free to ask any questions or dao to add related to the painting in the discussion section. And now let's move towards our next painting. I hope that you learned something new and enjoyed this painting. 6. PAINTING 2 - LETS PRACTICE: Hey everybody, welcome to the second painting. So before starting the final painting, Let's practice some difficult elements in this particular painting as well. So this is basically a winter house. And the element that we are going to practice for this particular painting is the background wash. So before starting, let me give you a basic brief and the color palette as well. So as you can see that we have our nice small winter house and behind that we have our nice dark background, which is basically a night view. So that is black, that is Prussian blue, and ultramarine. So we are going to combine all these three colors and create a beautiful night and background. No need to worry at all. This is not going to be difficult at all. So this technique is basically known as a wet on wet technique, where we first apply a coat of water, which we did in our first painting also, if you have remembered or noticed. So let us start with the basic sketch first. Let me draw the house in a rough manner with my pencil. So the reason behind drawing the house first is so that we do not enter our background color in the house. We have to make sure that we leave the house in front and keep our color behind it. So if you might have observed, I'm using my practice journal again, and I would suggest you to keep one as well. That would be really helpful in your art Korea. So I'm almost done with the basic sketch. Let me just give it some darker values so that it looks in different part. So once we are done with the house, let us add the background. So what you have to do is that you can simply take your flat brush. Before that, let me just label it for you guys. So the arrow mark basically shows the background. Now what we're going to do is that simply take your flat brush and dip it in clean, clear water. So this is basically a half inch flat brush. Now the how to apply the water on the background. Make sure that the water does not go inside the house. So you can use the tip of your flat brush as you can see very carefully. I'm just trying to apply it behind the house. Now, once you are done with the house area, you can simply move your flat brush in the direction I'm moving. As you can see, we have applied a nice coat of water. The light reflection is very much visible. So make sure that you do not make any water pools in between. The water should spread evenly and it shouldn't be a uniform court. Now what we are doing is that we are taking some solid values of black and you have to apply it on the horizon line first. Make sure again that you do not move inside the house. You have to be on the background leaving the house. So as you can see how I'm moving my flat brush, don't need to worry, this is very easy. So yeah, we have applied the black color forced. Now, just simply clean up your brush. And once you are done with the cleaning, take some darker values of Prussian blue and apply the flat brush just about the black coat. So you can see that you get a nice blend because we have applied the clear water on the paper initially. Now after applying a court of Prussian blue, we're going to apply our quota of ultra marine. And you can see how I'm moving my flat brush. So once you are done with this, as you can see, we have a nice blend of black, Prussian blue, and ultramarine altogether. One thing that you can take in your mind is that whenever you use watercolors, the values that you are seeing right now will be one shade lighter when it dries. I'm so it will look similar to the one which is on your left side, which is our final painting. So you can see this is how you can blend the colors and the technique is basically known as wet on wet technique. That is very important that you practice paused in rough scrape of papers. Or if you have a practice book, then you move towards your final painting. Once you are satisfied with output, wait till it dries up and see how you get the result of the blending colors. So that guy is the only difficult element that you need to practice. Now let us move towards our final painting. 7. PAINTING 2 - WINTER HOUSE: Hey everybody, welcome to the second painting, which is our winter night owls. I hope that you learn something from the practice session for this particular painting. As you can see, I have my watercolor paper ready, which is our Canson watercolor paper, 300 years. And so this is basically a file size sheet. Now, as usual, we're going to start with our basic sketch for the entire painting. So we have a small house. As you can see, I have just simply drawn into pet my pencil. So the reason behind drawing a rough sketch initially is so that you get a nice idea where to paint. So there's houses basically going to be on a green bed, which is our landscape. And that is going to be as morally behind. So the major important element in this and try painting is going to be the night sky that we are going to make. If you haven't taken the practice session first, I would recommend to take that first so that you know how to blend all the three colors together. No need to worry, I'll be telling you that and this also, but it would be really great if you practice first and then move towards the final painting. As you can see, I have just drawn these little scripts of land pieces where we are going to paint some nice green grass. And the horizon line that you can see right now is going to be a little portion of our lake. Make sure that your sketches darker enough so that whenever we apply watercolor, it shouldn't create away. So accordingly, you can darken it up. Also make sure that you do not apply that much pressure that your pencil overpowers the watercolor. So since the vendor houses are generally made out of wood, we are making these little vertical lines to show the wooden planks and a literal door on the right portion. So yeah, this is the basic sketch it out and we will need. Now let me talk about the watercolors. The first one as ultra marine. The second one is Prussian blue, light green, black, and titanium white. These are all the watercolors that you will need. Now simply take your half inch flat brush and take clear water in it and apply it on the background. Make sure that you do not move inside the house. That one definitely is. Call your painting. So now we are going to apply a thin coat of water in the entire background. No need to apply the entire water to the complete page. We are going to keep it a little bit abstract. So just make sure that you apply a thin coat of water. Now, take a look at Michael, a ballot on the right side, I'm digging some darker values of black and you have to start applying it on the horizon line, forced to use your flat brush to use its edges and angles too low in the difficult areas. The house. Now once we are done with the black, knew just hard to clean up your brush. Now again, take a look at the color palette. I'm taking some darker values are Prussian blue. And we are blending it with the black. So you have to just simply apply it on the upper portion. Now similarly, you how to take some ultra marine and blended with the Prussian blue. So the reason behind of blending these three colors is the wet on wet wash, we applied a thin coat of water, if you remember initially. So due to that, the color is blending together. So you can see how beautiful the color blend looks together. If you still have any confusion or doubt about this, you can take the ductus session and get it all cleared. Now let us move towards our house. So what you're going to do is bad, leave the white portion of the roof and simply add a thin coat of water on the vertical walls. So initially I have applied some darker black values just below the roof so that we can give a nice shadow effect to the vertical walls. Now once you have applied some color on top and black on the walls, they are going to blend some nice light green color. So just simply take your quill brush and add some line cream. Try to blend it with the black color that we have applied. So the reason behind selecting our Green is to show the effect of whether during winter times B are a lot of moisture and there are going to be algae called the walls. So now just simply take your quill brush and dry it up, add some little values of gray in it, and add these rough texture on the roof. So this basically represent these low. Now to enhance the dove, I'm just adding a thin line of lag that migrated brush. And using the darker dawns of black, you can bend the door. So since these are wooden planks on the left side of the house, we are going to add these little lines which are going to be vertical. So we just simply DQ DR. Quill brush and add these little lines. I'm just taking some darker values are black and I'm moving my brush and less nautical direction. So as you can see, me got a nice blank kind of texture. So we are having a little bit of leg just behind the house. So I have simply added 10 coat of water. Again, this is basically our wet on wet wash. Now just simply the exam ultra marine amniote quill brush and add these little color tint on the horizon line. So one thing that you have to keep in mind while using watercolors is that the code that you can see right now will be one shade lighter when they dry zone. So accordingly, apply Ocala badges. So by the time you can see, our sky is almost dried up and it looks beautiful. The blend is absolutely amazing. So now what we are going to do is band. We are going to be in the landscape. We have these little green scripts of garden in front of the house. So we are going to take some darker values of light green. And we are going to be mm. So this is going to be basically wet on dry technique. So we haven't applied a thin coat of long-term fast. Yeah, directly applying watercolor on Nidre sheet of paper. So lonely Duan, just simply colored pencil portion that we have scribbled initially. So that is the reason I told you that keep your Benson and darker so that you are scheduled to land gets lighten up. Once you have applied the lime green on this trip, you have to apply some darker values of light green also, so that it looks even more in depth and detail. Now using the same light green, I'm just trying to make some lighter badge of new green so that we can represent some landscape around. So now what you're going to do is that the exam darker values of black in your quill brush. And add these little scripts showing some depth to the landscape area on the right side. So this is basically the rough texture on the ground area and nonideal mean that was perfect because there's basically an abstract painting. Baby do not move towards perfection. But it looks at only elegant venue being these elements in abstract form. So I'm just trying to enhance the garden area a little bit. I'm adding these little black strokes just below the green area. So now let us made the color values a little bit darker as I told you that, watercolors becomes one shade lighter as it dries up. So take your brush and add darker values of black. Bear robots and moon so that you'll get it even more darker and don't comparatively to the dried ones. You can give these little rough textures also on the Cloud area. Now assembly dq, ERD dealing brush of say 0, add some solid light color in it. And being our smallest alkyl, just about the house to represent the moon. And using the same detailing brush you can enhance the wooden planks also. Just add these little graph vertical lines. One more thing I would like to tell you all is that no need to be painting in the exact same fashion I am painting. You can create your own styles also. This is just to give you a basic idea about the techniques and coloring styles. So we are almost done with the painting. And now let us take a rough brush that everybody is having. So we do use this kind of brush to splatter some color. So I had simply taken some ultra marine and add some water to it as you've been seeing my color palette on the right side and splatter some color drops around the bending. So now using my white pen, I'm going to draw two by increased just behind the house through these pine trees. I'm going to be just above the link on the left portion called the house. So we just have to detail by men and add a simple vertical line. Once you draw the vertical line, tried to use Kimberly or right Ben in the way I am doing. You just have to show these leaves for the boundaries are for laughs norm. So we are building into, right. So now you can see how beautiful the composition looks. And I hope that you enjoyed this painting and gone to learn something new from it. I'm very excited to see all of your projects in the project gallery. Feel free to ask any doubts or questions you have related to the painting. I would love to answer them in the discussion section. So whenever you are painting, beautiful watercolor painting or any type of painting in art, it is good to have your signature just below it. And there's basically an identity of your artwork. You can also put your label name just below your signature so that you can promote it. Now without any delay, Let's move towards the final and the last painting, which is in the winter forest. 8. PAINTING 3 - LETS PRACTICE: Hey everybody, welcome to the final and the last painting. For this particular painting, we are going to have certain elements to galactose first and then we'll move towards the final painting. So for this particular painting, we are going to have three major elements. The first one is the sky, then we have the mountain and the pine tree. So all the three elements are willing to be absolutely very easy to bend, but you got to practice it first so that you can make it even better in the final painting. So now let me make a rough sketch for the mountains first. So just simply dq or Benson and tried to make these little mountains to lizards mythically back to things who learned to mean the exact same moaned in Baghdad and any planar painting. On the left side. There have just assemblies commode Doolittle landings. And you can also add the darker values in the mountains so that you can recognize where to get the darker shades. Let me add one more mountain so that you'll get a very clear idea about how we are going to be in them. So we are done with the entire sketch. Now let me just label it fast. So they are going to be in the sky first. So I'm just adding a label her. Now simply DQ DR half inch flat brush and add some little ultramarine in it. And what you're wanting to do is that we are willing to be in the sky first. So I'm taking my half-inch flat brush and using this grass, you have to just apply it on the background. As you can see, we have just applied it on the outskirts of the mountain. So this time we have used wet on dry technique, if you remember in the first painting and the second bending, we bent in the background with our wet on wet technique, which is this guy basically now simply dry up your brush using paper napkin and apply it on the vanishing area, which is on the top portion of the sky so that you'll get an eighth grade end value. So as you can see, these guys looking darker near to the mountain dense. And as we moved towards the above portion and gets lighter in tone. If you find the darker dawns on the on-demand team a little bit lighter. You can apply a second coat. So you can see that garden when the sky area. So this is how you have to be in the sky using a wet-on-dry technique. And this is not at all difficult as you can see. So now let me tell you how you can mean these beautiful. It's normal events, not at all difficult. You have to take your quill brush and add a little bit of light blue values. On the right side. Better we hadn't given some benzene or depth volatile. So what I did is that I just took some ultra marine and add maximum amount of water in it so that I get a lighter value of blue in it. And I'm just making up bad on the right side. So applying a darker badge on the right side basically means that the sun is falling from the left portion and the shadow effect is coming on the right portion solely on mountains looks even more beautiful and realistic. So you can see how I'm making these little rough strokes to enhance the beauty of the mountains. Now what you can do as bad using the same quill brush, you can add a little bit of badges on the left portion, ISO, so that you can replicate the mountains even more beautifully. So apart from snow that is also willing to be rocks and some rough texture on the mountain. So by applying these little rough strokes, we are trying to replicate that. So as you can see, this is also known to dial difficult. So this is how we are going to paint the mountains. So this is the second element that we have practiced. So now you can see what is the benefit of having an art journal or a practice book. You can anytime referred it to get the idea of how view backtest it earlier. Now let us move towards the last and the final element, which is the pine trees. So I am non Windows the bat, there's learned to be difficult to paint these paintings. But you are when do we need a lot of patients to do this? So now simply dig darker values of black and your quill brush. Instead, our round brush. If you do not have a quill brush, then you can use a detailing rasters and matters. So what we are going to do is that clause to have to decide the position where you are going to have your buy-in tree. So we are not going to paint it exact same. We add on the final painting on the left side. We are just painting it on the toner for practicing. So to decide the position occupying tree. Thank you. Draw a vertical line variable volunteered by entry to be and start adding these little strokes from the dark portion and come towards the bottom. But now what do you have to make sure is that when you come towards the bottom part, tried to make the bushes of the pine trees even more broader as you come towards the bottom portion and try to make as much as in bushes possible, use that courtyard detailing brush or a round brush or whatever you're using so that it looks even more realistic and beautiful. So as you can see, that I'm almost done painting the entire entry. I'm trying to make it even more broader on the bottom portion, since pine trees are basically in the form of a triangle. So you can see that I have applied maximum strokes in a single binary, the lattice. Why I'm telling you you got to have some patients so that you can come up with our beautiful output. So this is a good example of painting a big pine tree. Now let me draw it once again so that you'll get even more clear idea about the pine trees. So again, I have taken symbol vertical line on the left side. So there's pine tree is going to be a little bit smaller in size. So the process and absolutely. Then you've got two more towards the down portion from the above bad and very moving towards Midtown portion, you got to broaden up the bushes. I'm just using my clone brush and drying to me in these little strokes. And you can see these, they can bind tree is almost ready. So now you can see that we are done with all the three elements. The sky, the mountains, and the BY entries. And in all the three elements, we haven't used wet-on-dry technique. We haven't applied a quarter court initially. So there's going to be in the category of a wet-on-dry technique. So you have to crack down on Earth asthma jazzy again. And now let us move towards the final painting which is given to a virus. 9. PAINTING 3 - THE WINTER FOREST: Hey everybody, you are most welcome to the last painting, which is painting the winter forest. And I hope that you got to learn from the practice session all the elements that you need to practice for this particular painting. So now just simply take your pencil and start with the mountains. This is going to be our basic rough sketch so that you'll get an idea of where to paint. I'm just making these triangulated ships. And you can just follow if you are painting with me, in case you find the video a little bit faster, you can definitely slowing down. There's an option below. So I'm just trying to make a rough sketch for the mountains post. Make sure that your pencil line is visible so that whenever you apply watercolors, it shouldn't vanish. Hurry. Though there is going to be a little bit of landscape in front of the mountains. So I'm adding these lines and we are done with the entire sketch. So now let me draw the vertical lines. Barely are going to paint the pine trees. So this is just to the location. That's why we are dragging these vertical lines so that you do not forget where to put the binaries. So since we are done with the sketch, I'm going to talk about the colors that you will need. The first one is ultimately in collusion, blue, light green, and black and titanium bike. Maybe they might not mean using lime green LED. See how it goes. So always keep a paper napkin side nine to lie above the extra amount of watercolors. Now let's start with the sky falls. So take your half inch flat brush. Day exam. I'll try marine in your color palette and simply and be plaid brush with ultra marine. So since we are going to use a wet-on-dry technique, make sure that you have good amount of ultra marine in your flat brush. Now, take our half-inch flat brush and more towards the outskirts of the mountain, make sure that you do not move inside the mountain network. Finally, our mountains. Now I'm just adding the ultramarine and a lighter tone. Initially. You just have to move the plaid brush in the direction I'm moving. Tried to blend it with the background. So you can see we have got a nice lighter tone of ultra marine. Take some darker values of ultramarine and added on the edges of the mountains so that you get a nice gradient from dark or dark to light tone. So you can already see the difference between the darker part and the lighter, but it will look even more attractive when it dries up. Now use your quill brush or your detailing brush of size 0, brush as of size eight. So now just take a look at Michaela ballot on the left side. We are going to take very light adorns of ultramarine. So try to add maximum amount of water in it so that you get a nice lighter tone of blue. So you have to apply the ultramarine on the right side of the mountains. You can already see the line of defense without rehab drawn with the pencil. Now simply repeat the process and add these values of blue on the right portion. So the reason behind doing this is that we are trying to represent the snow mountains in a realistic manner. So on the left portion that is sunlight falling on it. And on the right portion, we are trying to give it a shadow effect. Time, just simply repeating the process. And as you can see that the mountains will look fairly beautiful and nice when we color dries up. Causal. One more thing to keep in mind while using watercolors is that the dawn bad? Because visible currently when the watercolors are red will be one shade lighter when it dries up. So you can observe the movement of my quill brush. You can do this with your round brush also. Already dealing brush. To just have to mean these little strokes on the lighter blue dawn to give it a nice textured effect. Since mountains are not only covered with snow, there are going to be rough textures of grok also. To just have to repeat the same process and all the mountains. Now only invite portion of the mountains where we are going to have maximum amount of low. There also you can add these little strokes of ultramarine, but make sure that they are not that much as we have been done on the right side. We want to write to be more visible. So the reason behind doing this is to give a nice natural texture to your snowy mountains. As you can see. No need to worry. A dial in gaze your friend is difficult. You can definitely go do the practice session and repeat the process of painting the mountains. I have done there in detail. How to do that? Now let us begin the landscape area. I have simply applied lighter tones of ultra marine on the ground area. And now let us take some darker values of black. So we are going to have some boundaries on the backside which are going to be in a lighter dorm. So I have taken some lighter tones of black and my quill brush. And I'm representing these little BY entries, but some vertical lines. Once you are done with the vertical lines, you can add bushes to those vertical lines. You just have to normally are quill brush in the direction I'm moving. As you can see, the outgoing to be in the bushes this way. So since these trees are on ready fire escape and these are behind the mean by increased that we are going to bend. So the advent target analyte codon and also smaller than skin. This is basically our perspective view. So that's by the adult day care of that. So you just have to simply being Gaussian process and add these little bushes on the pine trees. Let me add some trees on the left portion also. So now we're done with the entire smaller by painting which are on the backside. Now let us move towards the main by entry, which is the bigger one, and which is coming in the front portion. As you can see in my Gullah ballot, I have taken some darker values of lab together. Now draw a vertical line first. The reason behind drawing a vertical line foresters to assuredly position or if you're buying tree. Now using the quill brush, round brush, whatever you are, CLI domain these little bushes. And make sure as you move towards the modern portion, you have do not end up in the tree. So if you have observed a boundary gave when he thereby increase our agenda me very 10 on the top portion. And as you move towards the down part, as broader insights. So if you observe this in detail, I'm trying to make the leaves as much as realistic as possible. This is not difficult. You just need to have some patients. You have to use the tip of your detailing brush so that you can meet these little leaves come out of your buy-in tree. Now you can also see bad as I'm moving towards the bottom, but I am trying to mean the pine tree even bigger and broader. And trust me, I love to be in by increase both merely because these makes your painting even more attractive and beautiful. In case you are finding any difficulty in painting the pine trees. I would definitely like to suggest to take the practice session for this particular bending. Better I adopt AND deal bed. You can learn how to be in this beautiful pine trees. So now let us add some darker values on the binaries or that then gets even more depth and shallow. So that is going to be another binary and just decided, but it has a smaller scale. So again, what you have to do is that simply dig your detailing brush, colloquial brush. The pencil line is already visible, which is smaller than the first one. And repeating the same process, we are willing to add these little bushes. So as you can see, I'm just repeating the same process. And it's also really fun painting these binaries. And one more thing that I would like to suggest, feel bad, that is absolutely fine. A few factors or landscape of paper or a practicing Look for us and then come towards your final painting so that you can save your good-quality watercolor paper. So now as you can see that we are done with moda by increase which are on the upper portion on the landscape area. So that is also willing to be one more buy-in tree on the lower bought pitches, somehow equivalent to the force by increase in size as well. So repeating the same process, the pencil line is visible. Initially. And would be really great if you didn't get that. As you move towards the bottom part, you have to broaden up the boundary. Then only they will be more natural and realistic. In case you are painting with me or you'll find the video a little bit faster, you can definitely slowing down. There is option below to slow the time-lapse. So using the same detailing brush or the quill brush, you can add some grass or neuron level also. And you can add some darker values to your buy-in tree. So now let us add the landscape area and simply applying a thin coat of water on the ground area forest, which is the body of our wet on wet technique. To once you are done with the thin coat of water on the ground area, take some ultramarine in your trash and have some darker values of it. Tried to apply on the top portion first in a random manner as you can see. So we are trying to replicate snow, a lot of snow basically. So once we are done with this, we have to apply some texture to the ground level five deconcentration blue in my brush. And we are willing to just simply dab it does below the binaries so that you'll give a nice shadow effect to your pine trees. And the same time you again and these rough texture to the ground level. So as you can see that it isn't effective manner of doing this. You don't have to be perfect. Just simply randomly, you have to remove the odd English. Dido, he was that depth so that you get nice pen strokes and place it wherever you want to have textbooks. And we are almost done with the painting. So this is basically my favorite painting among all the three. I hope that you got to learn something new and creative from this particular painting as well. Every on-hold Manchu produce it as basically the identity of your artwork. You can also put the name of your label that urine. Feel free to add your projects into the project gallery. I would love to see them. Also if you have any doubts or questions related to the painting, you can ask me in the discussion section. Make sure that you're not missing the final thoughts for the entire class. And I hope that you enjoyed making these three mutable vendor bindings. 10.
