Welcome to 30 days of painting many verticar landscapes. Being both a mom and homemaker, it's challenging to dedicate time to art. I know many of you are in the same page, and that's why I'm here today with a vertica challenge where we're going to try small soul fulfilling artworks, which you can finish in less than 20 to 25 minutes. As you are already aware, this class is composed in a daily challenge format. So starting from today for the next 30 days, we will together paint a mini verticor landscape. They are mini, but they are beautiful. Every day, you will get to learn a lot of techniques and new color compinations. We'll try beautiful meadows, seascapes, spring landscapes, and a lot more. Every day is painting, start with the quick color swatching exercise, to make you familiarize with the colors. I will also briefly explain about the process, which will make you prepared and also gives you an idea about what to expect. Before we get into this journey, let me quickly show you a few of my favorite artworks. Here's one. I really love the way this one has turned out, especially that fog effect and the color coination. And this is another one. This one is a really quick and ECC scape, which you can do in less than 20 minutes. Here's another one. For this painting, the process is really exciting. In this artwork for the background, we will simply drop in some paint onto a pet background, and we will create a texture. And then we will simply add some white lines onto those rocks and create a beautiful waterfall. So, yeah, every artwork is really exciting, even though they are super small, and with every artwork, we'll be exploring different color coinations, compositions and subjects. And the best part is that, all these artworks can be done in less than 20 to 25 minutes, which means if you're someone with a busy schedule and still want to spend some time on creating art, I can give you company for the next 30 days. So if you're ready, join me right away. Let's create 30 met verticlor landscapes. 3. Materials you'll need: Before we start, let's have a look at the materials you will need for this NTIA challenge. I will start with the paper. Here's the paper I'm going to use for this NTIA challenge. It is from arches. It's a cold press aticul paper. And it is one 40 LB, which means the paper is quite thick enough to handle multiple layers of paint or water. Then it is 100% cotton. Arches is a brand I've been using for years, and I just love this paper. But it can go with any artist grade verticar paper. Just make sure the paper is 100% cotton and also one 40 LB. The brand doesn't matter, just focus on those specifications. Now let me show you the size of the paper I'm going to use. It's a small plaid size. We are going to do a collection of mini verticular paintings, and this is the size. It is 121412 this way and 14 this way. To get a better idea about the size of the paper, I will show you free of the paintings. So here we are. You can see the way I have composed the painting. If you leave out the border, the painting will be more like a square, maybe 11 by 11 centimeter. Choose your paper size, it can be a bit bigger or smaller, but don't make it too big and also try to go with a similar orientation, as I have composed all the paintings this way. Next, coming to the watercolors for all these paintings, I'll be using watercolor tubes. I will explain about the colors at the beginning of every painting. We will do a swatching to get a better idea. You can go with vertcular tubes or watercolor pants. It doesn't matter. Try to go with the color which is nearly similar. All right. Now, the next item you will need is a mixing palette obviously. You can use any kind of mixing palette. This one is a ceramic mixing palette. It has got so many small sections and also two big sections to mix the colors. So, I just go with any mixing palette of a toys. It can be ceramic or plastic or even a dinner plate. Next, let's take a look at the watercolor brushes. For this entire series, I'll be using five different brushes. The first one is a 1 " flat brush. I'll using this brush to apply water onto the background. Just go with any of your wider brush to apply a coat of water onto the background. The next one is another flat brush. This one is a half inch flat brush. I'll be using this one mostly to blend the colors. Just go with any of your medium size flat brush. Now we have three different round brushes. The first one you see here is size number eight. Then I have size number six and size number two. I'll use the bigger one size number eight to apply paint onto the background. The other two brushes are mostly for detailing. I'll use size number six for the medium size detailing and size number two is for all the fine details. All of these brushes are from the brand silver brush. That summarize all the brushes you will need. We spoke about the colors, the brushes, and the paper. Now the next material you will need is two jars of water. When you're working with watercolo, it is really important to have two jars of water. One has to stay clean. We'll be using this one to apply coat of water onto the background, and also at places where we need clean water. The next one is to resolve the pain from your brush. Now, coming to the next material, you will need a masking tape to fix your paper onto your board or onto your drawing table. I'll using a 1 " masking tape. You can use any tape that you normally use. It could be 1 " or a half inch. It doesn't matter. Also, you can fix your paper directly onto the table or onto a drawing board. Next, you will need a pencil and an eraser. We don't have a lot of sketching. There are only minor sketching involved. For that, you will need a pencil and eraser. Now, last but nother least, you will need a paper towel. We'll be using this to dab off the excess amount of water from our brush. That summarize all the materials you will need for this entire challenge. Keep them ready, and let's begin with this journey. 4. Before We Begin: Before we start, I want to talk about a few important key points. The first one is about the paper size. As you already know, we're going to use small piece of paper for this entire challenge. So that's the size I'm going with to get a better idea. Here is a painting. This one is more like a rectangle, the longer side is 14, and the shorter side is 12. I would recommend going with a smaller size of similar proportion because this is how I have composed all the paintings. If you want to go for a square shape which is slightly bigger, that's totally fine. You can go with a similar size. You can also go for a slightly longer portrait orientation. But keep in mind, these paintings are not so detailed, and they don't have a lot of elements. If you go for a bigger size, you might lose the essence of the painting. So my recommendation would be to go with a small sized paper. It can be square or rectangle. That's totally up to you. That is the first thing I want to talk about. The second thing is about fixing your paper. You can fix the paper either onto your table or onto a drying board. If you have noticed on the bottom, I have a thicker border and on the other three sides, it's a thinner border. I have used a thicker border along the bottom to swatch out the colors. You can use the similar thickness throughout your paper. It doesn't need to be thicker at the bottom. Also, you don't need to add these swatches. You can write the name of your artwork or the date or a coat or something that makes it more personal to you. Here's how I'm going to fix my paper, a thicker masking tape along the bottom, then thinner along the other three sides. You can use any masking tape that you normally use. It can be a painters tape or a washi tape or any kind of tape. The masking tape I'm using here is a very normal one. I got it from a local stationary store. That's how I'm going to fix my paper. Now coming to the third point, which is about keeping your colors ready in advance. Before you start with your painting, Before we start with every artwork, I will briefly talk about the colors. This way, you already know which are the colors you will need for that particular painting. I'll be doing a quick splashing exercise to give you a better idea. Before you start with your artwork, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. I'm saying this mainly because there are paintings like this one, where we're going to paint the T background in one co. We will start with the sky. Then we have a soft line here, and then we'll add paint onto the bottom. The NT background is done in one single layer, which means you should have all the colors ready on your palette. Because we have to apply all the colors onto the background while it is still wet. If you lose that time in between, you might not be able to get that foggy effect. Be sure to keep all the colors ready on your palette before you start. Now, just like keeping your colors ready, it is also important to work with clean brushes and clean palette. Sometimes in a rush, I used to miss washing my brushes. The next time when I pick it, there might be some leftover paint. I used to mess up my sky, be sure to clean your brushes thoroughly before you switch from one color to another and make sure it is clean and ready for action. Now, there's one more thing I want to talk about the brushes, especially about the wash brush. We used to apply code of water onto the background. This is the brush I normally used to apply code of water onto the background. And I don't mix it with my painting. I use it only for applying water. So it is mostly clean. But if you use the same brush for applying water onto the background, and also for painting, before you start, make sure it is clean. Now, just like clean brushes, it is also important to have a clean palette. This part has got two big divisions to mix the colors, and it has got so many small divisions as well. Every time I'm done with my painting, I clean my palette, using a wet cloth or a wet vibe and I make it clean and ready for the next painting. If you use a dirty palette for your works, the colors will end up looking muddy. You won't get that fresh vibrant colors. Ilways make sure you have a clean palette before you start. You can see how quickly I cleaned my palette. This is one reason why I love ceramic palettes over plastic. But that doesn't matter if you prefer plastic, that's totally fine. Working with a clean palette is all that matters. Now, the final point is about the importance of having two jars of water. If you can replace your water quickly where it is getting dirty, it's fine. Then you can go with one jar of water. But for paintings like this, in between the process, we need clean water. So if your water is muddy or dirty, you won't be able to act quickly. By the time you go and change the water, the backroom might have dried. Okay? So it is very important to have two jars of water when you're working with watercolor. All right, so we have discussed about the key points. I know you already know them, but I just thought of reminding it. Okay, now it's time to officially start a watercolor challenge. 5. DAY 1 - Golden Hour: Hello, dear friends, welcome to a brand new 30 day tclor challenge. Here's our first painting. It's a beautiful summer evening. Now, first, I will take you through the colors you will need. Then we can quickly start with the process. You will need four colors for this painting, which is paints gray brown, then some yellow ochre and a yellowish orange. I will swatch the colors for you so that you have a better idea. I will start with the colors. I'll be using for the sky. The first color is db yellow orange. It's a beautiful yellowish orange. You can go with an orange or yellow or a yellowish orange. That's a color. If you don't have a similar color in your collection, you can simply add some vermilion to any of the yellow you have got, and you can easily create a similar color. This one is yellow orange from Shinhan. Now the next color you will need for this painting is brown. I'll using permanent brown from art philosophy. If you have brown, go with that, otherwise, you can just use burn Cena. Here is the color. It is called permanent brown and it is from art philosophy. It is a very beautiful reddish brown. On the other hand, burn Cena is more yellow wish, but please don't worry if you don't have brown, just use burn Cena instead. That's our second color. Brown is a major color you will need for this painting. We will use that for the sky for the mountain, as well as for the metal. Now the next color you will need is yellow ocher. We'll be using yellow ocher with a meadow along with brown and paints gray. On the top, we will use yellow ocher, then towards the bottom to make the color more taker, we will introduce brown and also some paints gray. Now, just in case if you don't have yellow ocher, you can easily create it, add a bit of brown or burn cena. With any of the warm yellows you have caught like Cambo yellow or primary yellow or thin yellow. Just add a bit of burn cena with any of those colors. That was yellow ocher. Now, I'm going to go with the final color which is paints gray. We'll be using paints gray mostly to add the deeper tones for the meadow, as well as onto the mountain. If you have a darker brown in your collection, you can use it directly. In that case, you don't need to mix and create a darker brown. Just use it directly for the mountain, as well as for the meto. We're not going to use paints gray actus. We'll be mixing that with brown to create a darker version. That is our last color. We only need four colors for this painting, Cadmium yellow orange, brown, yellow ocher, and paint screen. If you don't have the exact same colors, that's not a problem. Just go the colors you have with you, which is nearly similar. Let's start by adding the sketch. We need to add the horizon line and also a mountain in the background. That's all we need to add. I'm going to place my horizon line a little below the center of the paper right there. Next, I'm going to add a very simple mountain. You can go to any shape that you prefer. It doesn't need to be the exact same way. Okay, that's my sketch. We have a mountain and the horizon line. That's all. Now we're going to start with the sky, and then we will paint the meadow and finally the mountain. Okay, so a lead start. Now, these are the two colors I'm going to use for the sky, which is permanent brown and cadmium yellow orange. I will take out some paint onto my palette. Okay. So if you don't have the same colors, you can go with any color which is nearly similar. It can be an orange or yellow, and intra of brown, you can also use burn sina. I have the two colors ready on my palette. Now, I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the sky. A nice gentle coat of water. I'm adding the water along the outline. If you can try to lead the mountain actus. But if you accidently add a little water, that's totally fine. Don't worry about it. My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with brush. Before you start, make sure your brush is clean. Now the first color I'm going to pick is Cmium yellow orange. This one is a yellowish orange. You can go with permanent yellow orange or any similar color, or you can simply add some scarlet or vermon with a bit of yellow. And you can easily create a similar color. Now I'm starting to apply the paint, it's a medium tone. I'm assuming the sun to be over here, which means when I'm about to reach that area, I have to make the color lighter. Right now I'm using a medium tone. Now I'm picking some water, dabbing it on a paper towel. Over here, I'm making the color slightly lighter. See that? Now, for the remaining area, we can apply a medium tone. Only about the mountain where we are placing the sun, we have to make the color a bit lighter. The rest can be medium tone or darker tone. That's totally fine. Okay. Now I'm picking more yellowish orange and I'm adding that on the top. Okay. So that is Cuello orange. Next we can I go with brown. So I'm going to clean my brush. And then I'm right away switching to permanent brown. This one is a reddish brown. Now I'm applying that on the top. Brown and orange, it's a beautiful color coination to paint sunsets. Now using the same color, I'm going to add in some clouds to make the sky look more interesting. First, add in brown and plan that with yellow or orange, which will be the color you're using. Then with the same brush, add in some clouds. Once you have added them, d brush on a paper towel, then very gently smudge it and give it a softer look. We can add a few more clouds. With the same sh, I'm picking a little more brown and I'm adding some more clouds. You can see I'm still retaining that lighter tone closer to the mountain, where we are imagining the sun to be. For the rest of the area, I'm adding more cloud, I'm adding metium tones. Keep on adding more clouds if you feel like or if you're happy with the result, you can just leave it actus. This is how my sky has turned out. I'm very happy with the result. Now in the meantime, while the sky dries, we can start with the meadow. I already have some brown on my palette. Along with that, I will need some yellow ocher and paints gray. First, let me take out some paint onto my palette. The smells yellow ocher. Next, I need paints gray. My yellow ocher is from Shinhan Pines gray is from Rembrand. We have the colors ready. Now we can start with the meadow. It's a small area, so I thought of going in directly with the paint without applying a coat of water. The first color I'm picking here is yellow ocher and I'm applying that along the horizon line. Go with the medium tone. Don't make it too light. That's the color I'm using. It is yellow ocher from Shinhan. Apply that along the horizon line and gradually go with permanent brown and fill up the remaining area. Start with the medium tone, then gradually towards the bottom most area, make it more darker. Along the horizon line, we have a medium tone of yellow ocher. Then towards the bottom, the color is more. Now with the same pain, I'm just adding a few lines and some shapes to give it some texture. And maybe we can apply a much more taco tone at the bottom. The color I'm using right now is a mix of paint screen and brown. You can also use burn temper. Okay, so the base layer is ready. Now I'm going to keep this brushreide I'm going with my smaller brush. This one is size number two. Our next task is to add some grassy pattern on to this wet background. I'm starting by picking a bit of brown. And then I'm just going to add some free hand lines on to this background from the bottom towards the top. See that. Go with any of your smaller brush or a bit with the pointed tip, and keep on adding some grassy lines. They can be longer at the bottom. If you're adding them closer to the horizon, make them a bit shorter and also don't use a taco toon over there. Just keep on pushing and pulling that paint and simply add some free hand lines like this. When I'm adding these grassy lines in the background, I'm not picking any new paint. I'm just making use of that leftover paint on my brush so that they won't look too prominent. But towards the bottom where we have that taco Tunes, you can add more paint and you can add more taco lines. Let's keep on adding these grassy pattern and make our meadow look lush and thick. I think I have added enough on the top. We don't need much here. It is far away. We have to focus more on the bottom most area, so I'm picking more brown and I'm going to continue adding more lines at the bottom. Maybe you can use a darker tone by mixing some paints gray with brown, or you can also go with burn tumber as it is. Okay. Let's keep on adding those free hand lines at the bottom. You can see the color. It's pretty dark and also I'm adding a lot more because at the bottom, we want it to look like lush and thick. Right now, your background might have tried a little. That's totally fine. You can continue adding those patterns. The brush I'm using here is size number two, and that is the reason why I'm able to add thin crisp lines. Here is the brush. It has got a really nice pointed tip. Try to use a smaller brush or a brush for the pointed tip for this exercise that you will get those lines very crisp and thin. I'm going to add a few more lines at the bottom. Right now, the color I'm using is a mix of paints gray and brown. I have only added a bit of paints gray. It is not too dark. But depending on the color you have in the background, if you want to go for a much more taco to, feel free to do that. Okay. I will add some more along the bottom line, and then we can go with the mountain. That's how it has turned out. I'm very happy with the lines and the color and the texture. Let's take a short break and come back when this has dried completely. The background has dried up. Next, we can go with the mountain. First, we're going to start with the area, which is closer to the sun. Over there, we have to introduce a lighter tone. I'm going to go with the lighter tone of dmu yellow orange. Use the same yellow or orange you have used for the sky. Add a few drops of water and turn that into a lighter tone. Now I'm applying that over here. I have to make it even more lighter, so I'm adding more water. This looks fine. Go with a really light tone. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick brown. We can apply brown to the remaining area. Go with the medium tone. Only when you're getting closer to the sun, you have to make your color lighter. The rest can be medium anacots. Okay. See that. I'm applying a medium tone of brown on either side. Next, I'm picking some yellowish orange. I'm trying to blend brown with that yellowish color there. Let's clean the brush. We can smudge it with a clean brush. Try to retain some of that lighter tone where we have the sun. Then gradually when you're going away from the sun, make the color more taker. I'm picking a bit more yellowish orange and I'm trying to blend it. See that. That's the area where we have the sun, go with a clean brush and gently smudge it to give it a softer look. That's how it has turned out. Now onto the rest of the area, we can add more brown and more taker to. Have completed that shape. We only have some area left at the bottom. Over there, we have to introduce a detail, we'll leave it acidus before that, I'm going to drop in some paints gray onto either side. To make it even more. Only onto either side. The rest remains actus. We have a lighter tone at the center, where we have the sun, then some medium tones around it. Then towards the end, we have some taco tone. Now we have to add paint along the horizon line. I'm picking the same tacton of brown. First, let's fill in brown on that remaining area. Then we can introduce our detail. It's a dacton of brown and I'm filling in that remaining area. Once you have added paint along the horizon line, the same brush, we're going to add a tiny detail. All you have to do is just keep on adding some teeny tiny lines using that same paint. This will look like those grassy patterns far away. If you add the paint as a straight line, it will look a little weird. This way, it will look more natural. We're trying to show that grassy lines far away. Add paint in a similar way. It is just some simple lines we're adding close to each other. It doesn't need to be perfectly shaped or anything. This is far away. With your smaller brush or a medium brush, just keep on adding some lines close to each other, and that's all. See that? You can clearly see the difference. Whenever you're painting a meadow, never paint your horizon as a straight line. Always use this detail. It will instantly add a lot of difference to your painting. Now there are some small gaps in between. I'm just adding paint and I'm filling them up. And I'm also smudging the paint. There's a lot of paint I'm cleaning it, and I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. Now, with a clean dry brush, I will gently smudge this part. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. Actually, at this point, we are done with our painting. But then if you want to enhance some of the details a bit more, you can go for a smaller brush and pick some more brown. Then you can add some more lines along the horizon. To give it a bit more fine look, but this tip is completely optional. If you feel like it is looking beautiful already, you don't need to do this again. The brush I'm using here is size number two, and it has got a much better pointed tip than the other brush I was using. I just thought of adding some more lines here. To give it a better look. You can see the lines. They are much more thin and delicate. Okay. So go the darker tone of brown and add in some more lines using a smaller brush or a brush with a pointer tip. But just like I said, alli this one is completely optional. You don't need to add them again if it's looking good enough. I'm nearly done with that, but there is one more thing that I want to do with the same color and with the same brush. Which is adding a little more grassy pattern onto the meto. But again, this step is also completely optional. Only if you feel it is necessary to add some more grassy pattern, you can go ahead with this step. Otherwise, you can just leave it the way it is. The color I'm using right now is a Daco brown. I've added some paints gray with brown, I'm using a size number two on brush. I'm simply adding some free hand lines. Mostly at the bottom. See that. I'm adding them from the bottom to at the top. I'm just adding some free hand curvy lines. I feel it looks more fuller and thicker now. Anyways, I have some more area left on the left side. I will add some more lines on the side. With that, we'll be done with the first painting from the series. Honestly, I'm very excited for the upcoming days. There's a wide collection of subjects we are going to explore and some beautiful color compinations as well. Okay, so I'm adding the last few lines over here. With that, we are done with our summer evening. If you want to add some birds on the sky, you could do that. You can add a small group of birds to enhance your painting. All right. That's all for the day. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here's our gorgeous summer evening. I hope you all enjoyed it. I believe it was a quick painting, and you all are happy with the painting you have created. Give it a try if I get to try it and let me know if you liked it. Okay. 6. DAY 2 - Misty Lake: Hello, friends. Welcome to Day two. Today, we're going to try a very easy a beautiful moody morning. The best part about this painting is that you will only need two colors. And also, you can finish this in less than 15 minutes. Okay, so let's have a look at the colors you will made. The only two colors you will need for this painting is indico and paints gray. For the background, I'm going to use indico. Then for the fogron elements, I will use paints gray. Actually, if needed, you can skip paints gray and use a dakotn off indico for the focron elements as well. Anyways, I'm going to swatch out indico first. The one I'm using here is from art philosophy. It's a beautiful dico. If you're using Indico from a different brand, there are chances it might look a little different, which is totally fine. Some indico look more grayish than bluish. Don't worry about those differences. It will still give you a beautiful painting. Okay, so that is indico. Now the second color you will need is paints gray. But just like I mentioned earlier, if you want to go for a darker tone of indico instead of paints gray, that's totally fine. That way, you can just use one single color for this entire painting. The paints gray I'm using here is from a prand called Temprand. If you don't have paints gray, you can also use black. Okay. Those are the two colors you will need for today's painting, indico and paints gray. Here's a closer look of the painting and the colors. Quickly go keep those two colors ready on your palette, and let's give it a try. All right, so I have my paper, and the colors ready. Now, I'm going to start by applying a cot of water onto the entire background. Using my 1 " flat brush. The major color you will need for this painting is indico. I'm hoping you all have it ready on your palette. If you don't have indico on your palette, that is the first thing you have to do before you start applying water onto the background. My background is we Now, to paint the base layer, I'm going to use my flat rush. This one is a half inch flat rush. Even a round brush will work, it doesn't need to be a flat rush, go with any medium size flat rush. Now using this brush, I'm going to pick some indico. I want a medium tone of into. Looks like this is quite dark. I need to add more water. That looks fine. Now I'm going to apply that onto the top of the paper over here. That's the tonal value I'm starting with. It can be a bit more darker or lighter. That doesn't matter. I've cleaned my brush. Now, I'm going to make the color lighter towards the center. First, I will tap it on a paper towel. Looks like there's a lot of water and now I'm running my brush back and forth and I'm making the color lighter toward the center. Maybe we can drop in a bit more brighter tone on the top. We still have a lighter tone towards the center. Okay. We need a medium tone on the top and towards the center, we have to make it lighter. Now, from this point from the center, we are going to add more paint, a medium tone, and then we will make it a bit more darker towards the bottom, the same brush, I'm picking more indico, more like a medium tone. Then towards the bottom, I will introduce some more paint. On the top and the bottom, we need a medium tone, and at the center, we want to make the color lighter. I'm picking more paint Bea at the bottom, I want the color to be slightly darker compared to the sky. That's a first part of the base layer. We have painted the sky and the lake. Now, before this base layer dries, we need to add some more elements. I'm keeping my flat brush aside, and I'm picking my medium sized drawn brush. The brush I'm going to use is size number six. You can go at six or five or four. I dropped in some water. Never mind. It is still wet, so I can just smudge it. Now, with this brush, I'm going to pick a slightly darker tone of indico. Now, you see the Daco to, we're going to add in a random shape along the horizon line somewhere over here to show all the plants and trees in the background. If pain is too watery, dab on a paper towel. Otherwise, it will spread a lot and it will become really difficult to control the way it is spreading. Dabit on a paper towel. Every time you feel like the pain is watery. Now, I'm going to add in that shape. You don't need to put a lot of effort and make it look like a tree. It can be a very simple irregular shape like this. Now let's clean the brush and dab it on a paper towel. Now with that clean dry brush, I'm going to smudge this area. On the top, we have an irregular shape and towards the bottom, we are just smudging it and we're blending that into the background. This will create a foggy effect. To create that foggy effect, we need to tate some of the light of space at the center. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some more indico, a slightly darker tone. I'm going to make that shape a bit more bicker. I feel like the color is really light. I'm going to introduce that again. But towards the bottom, along the horizon, we still have to retain that lighter to. That's a shape. I've made the color more darker and also the shape is more bicker. Now I'm cleaning my brush, and then again with a clean dry brush, I'm smudging it. Be very gentle when you're smudging the paint. Don't put a lot of pressure. Okay, so that's a foggy moody background. Now, there is one more thing we have to do before the background dries up. We're just adding some lines on the lake. Using the same brush, I'm picking some more inco then I'm going to randomly add some lines onto the lake. Not a lot. I will add them mostly at the bottom toward the top. I want to retain all the lighter toes to create that foggy effect. Just add in a few lines onto that wet background. Like I mentioned earlier, if you feel your pain is really watery, dab on a paper towel, you should not go in with a very watery paint. If the pain is too watery, the lines will spread and they will lose its shape. I've added some lines at the bottom. Then towards the top, I have just added one or two lines. That's it. Now finally, I'm going to clean my brush, Dabit a paper towel. Now with that clean dry brush, lift off some paint to show that horizon. Gently swipe your clean brush and the lift off some paint. You can repeat the same step until you're happy with the result. That's my background. I'm very happy with the way it has turned out. Now we'll have to wait for this to try. I'm a little impatient, so I'm using a blue dryer to speed up the process. You can use a blue dryer or you can just leave it for a few minutes and let it dry naturally. Mine has dried up, and this is how it has turned out. I'm really loving that moody effect we have created. The color is really beautiful. Intego is one of the best color to create a moody background. Anyway, let's go with the next step, and for that, I'm going to go with a smaller brush. This one is size number two. The color I'm using here is paints gray. With any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip, pick some paints gray. Okay. Now with this preshe we're going to add some grassy lines at the bottom. That's our next step. We have a moody background. Now we're going to add the foreground element. For this step, it's good to go with a smaller presh or any brish with a pointed tip. I'm starting with the first grassy line. I'm planning to add it towards the right side. But you can compose your painting however you want to. You can add it on the left or the right, or maybe at the center. Okay. Now with this brush, I'm adding the first line. It is a long pointy line with a slight curve in between, so that it look more natural. See that. The first line. Now I'm adding the second one. Maybe we could add one more in between. See that? That's the lines I'm adding. They can be long point, and add them however you want to. The color I'm using here is paints gray is super dark. That's why it is looking like black. See that. I've gone in with a different shape now. This weight will look more natural. Some of these lines can be long, some of them can be, add them in different ways so that it look more natural. This is the only foreground element we have in this painting. If you want to add more lines, you could do that, or you can just go for one group like this. I'm going to add in a few more lines, maybe another group to a right, and a smaller one to at a left. First, I will extend this line. I feel it is looking a bit weird. From here, I'm bringing that down. I feel it looks better now. Next, I'm going to add a few more lines towards the right. There is some more space left in there. It's going to be the same method. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip and add in some long V lines. We just need some free hand lines. You can add them however you want to. They can be leaning on to the right or the left, they can be point or C. I'm going to add a few more lines in a similar way. I will fill in that cap. If you're not feeling confident, you can add a pencil line first, and then you can follow that line using your brush. I have added a long line there. I still have some space there maybe for one or two lines. Let's add another one, and get a longer one. The last one can be a shorter one. That's how it has turned out. Now finally, there is one small detail I want to add onto some of these lines. It's more like a small grain on the tip of those lines. You can add some lines onto either side, only on the tip. That's the first one. Along with that, I'm just adding a small leaf. Now onto this one. Simply add some small tiny lines onto either side and make it look like a grain or maybe like a flower. Then along with that, you can add some leaves like this. Small ones. Next, I'm going to add that grain or flower onto this one. Maybe I will add a straight line first, and then onto the tip, I will add those grains. It's just a matter of adding some teeny tiny lines onto either side. It's a very small detail. Here's a closer look. You can see the way it has turned out. So onto either side, keep on adding some tiny lines. They can be short on the top and a bit more wider as you come down. Then add in some leaves as well. That's a detail. If you want to add in some more, you could do that. I'm going to add one more smaller group towards the left side. I'm also adding some more leaves, one can be over here. The leaves are just some simple thick lines with a pointed tip, nothing much. I'll just finish off this leaf and then I will add a smaller group towards the left. I'm adding that over here. If you're happy with the painting, you can color it down. You don't need to add any more extra lines. Okay, with that, we are done with our painting. It's really easy at a pretty one. We took hardly 12 minutes to finish the entire painting. I hope you all loved it. Now I'm going to peel off the masking tape. Peel it off carefully at an ankle so that you won't rip off your paper. Here's our painting, Moody Morning. It's a really beautiful painting. You can do this in less than 15 minutes. Give it a try for you to try it, either with the same colors or a different color compbination of your choice. 7. DAY 3 - Green Meadow: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day three. Today, we're going to paint a lush green meadow. This one is actually one of my favorite from the ENT collection. I really love the colors and the end feel of this painting. So as usual, let's start by looking at the colors we will need for today's painting. The very first color you will need is paints gray. For the sky, I will use a medium tone of paints gray. And then wherever I need to use dacoons I'll be using paints gray. Okay, that's our first color. I really love working with graykyanGrains. It's a beautiful color coination. Now, just in case if you are not a fan of paints gray, you can use a medium tone of indico. So that's our fist color. Now, the next color I'm going to show you is cadmium green. We will only need a little of this color to add some highlights. You can see these grassy pattern along the horizon, these ones here. We'll also use this color to add some texture on the pine trees. Now the next one is sap green. If you don't have cadmium green or any light green, there is nothing to worry. Take out some lemon yellow, and then mix some sap green with it and that will easily give you a beautiful light green. Now, coming to the next color which is indico. You won't be able to find indico as it is from the painting. I'll be mixing that with a bit of cream to create a different tonal value in the background. I will explain more as you paint. That's our last color. We will need four colors for this painting, paint screen, Allied green, sap cream and also into. Here's a closer look of the colors and the painting. I think it's an absolutely beautiful painting, and I'm so excited to show you the process. So let's give it try. Okay, so I have the paper here. We're going to start by adding a line with this horizon. So define a horizon line first. I'm adding that a bth below the send of the paper. Now, as you're painting, we'll be adding some faraway pine trees in the background somewhere over there. We just need to add the horizon line first. Now we're going to start with the sky and the color we're going to use pain grey. Instead of paints gray, you can also use indico if you prefer that. I'm starting by picking some pain scree and I'm adding a few drops of water to turn that into a medium tone. But I just realized I haven't applied a cot of water onto the sky. Let's start with that. Apply a code of water onto the sky. Leave a tiny cap above the horizon so that we don't need to wait for the sky to dry. We can directly start with the met. The sky is wet. Now I'm going to go back with my paint screen, picking more paint. That's a tonal value I'm coing with. The brush I'm using here, a size number eight. Now, I'm just randomly applying that paint onto the sky, leaving some caps in between. Okay. See that? Go with a medium to and randomly apply some paint scree onto the wet background. See that? When it dries up, it will look like a really soft and beautiful cloudy sky. Just drop in some random paint onto the background while leaving some gaps in between. If you want to, you can use a little more darker to to make your sky look more dramatic. I feel the color is not really visible. Maybe we can pick some more paint screen and add in some more clouds. This is looking better. You can see the way how I'm adding it. I'm simply adding some random shapes onto the wet background, and I'm trying to create a cloudy sky. We'll add some on the top as well. That's how the sky has turned out. Now, while the sky dries, we can start with the meadow. I have some sap cream here along with that. You will also need some paints gray. I'm starting by picking a good amount of sap cream. I'm using a medium to, and I'm going to apply that on the top part of the meadow. Then gradually towards the bottom. I'll have to make the color more darker, so I will introduce paints gray. Okay. I'm going to start with Sap cream. Use a similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. Let's add in some more sap cream. Then towards the bottom, we will apply paints gray to make it darker. That is sap cream. I think I have added enough. Now with the same brish I'm picking some paints gray. I will need more. Go with the taco to and apply that at the bottom. We have a nice green on the top and a dakot towards the bottom. See that? It doesn't need to be a clean, perfect blend. Simply apply that paint at the bottom. That's a base layer. We can add in a few lines using that taker to. All right. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm switching to a smaller one. Then we need to add some grassy pattern. Just the same way how we did for the first painting. This is the brush I'm going to use. It is size number two. Now go with a taco tone of cream. I'm mixing some paints create and sap cream together to create a taco to. Okay. Now with that paint, I'm just going to add some grassy line. On the wet background itself, you don't need to wait for that to dry, keep pushing and pulling that paint into the background. This will create a very soft, beautiful result. If you wait for the paint to dry, it won't have that natural field to it. The textures will look a little more artificial than natural. Okay. So first go with these patterns while the background is still wet. Then later, if you feel they are not very prominent, you can go for one more round. You can use a daker ton of cream and add some more grassy pattern at the end when everything has dried up. Now, I'm going to add a few patterns in the background as well. I mean along the horizon line. You can keep on adding those grassy pattern until you feel like you have got a lush greenery there. I'm going to add a few more. I've taken some more tacot I will add another round of grassy pattern. See that. I'm using a taco tone and I'm adding them at the bottom. We have a nice medium tone on the top and a dakot towards the bottom. This will give a sense of distance. If you don't play with those colors and tonal values, you won't be able to get that feel of depth in your painting. For now, this is all we need. I think it has come out really high. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry completely, and then we can go the next step. That is right completely. Next, we are going to add some landscape in the background, using paints gray. We will go for a medium tone. Then we will add some far away pine trees. I'm using a size number six brush. Go with any of your medium size brush. Now I'm picking some more paints gray. I already have a little there, but the color has to be a bit more darker than the background. Otherwise, it won't be visible, but it should not be too dark. Now, I'm starting with a very basic shape. These trees we're adding right now is in the background. I'm going to add that over here. A this is in the background, you don't need to worry a lot about the shape. Simply add a rough shape like this. At some places, it can be a bit taller, and at some places, it can be lower. This way, it will look more natural. For now, simply add a shape like this, using a medium tone of pins gray. Then pick up some water and make it lighter towards the bottom. Okay. Once we're done with this, we will add another layer of pine trees in the foreground, using darker tones of green. This one doesn't need to be very well detailed. You can simply add a shape on the top, then using some water, make it lighter towards the bottom. So I'm just adding some lines more like a spikes on the top to make it look like there are some trees over there. That's how it has turned out. Now, only at some places, I'm going to add a shape of a pine tree. It is not well detailed. I'm adding a line. Then I'm just adding some zzag lines on either side, and that's it. See that? We don't need to add them everywhere. Just pick a few places in between and add similar shapes. This is just to enhance it a bit more. Only at some places, introduce a pine tree shape. Which doesn't need to be well detailed. You can clearly see my trees. They are just a messy pine tree, and I'm only adding them on the tip. That's all we need. We can add a few more towards the left side. Here's a much more closer view and you can see the way how I have added those trees. I think they have added enough, so I'm going to stop it here and I'm going to leave it for trying. Now the next task is to add the trees in the foreground, and for that, I'm going to go with my size number six brush. To paint the trees, we will use different tonal values of green. At some places, I will use a taco to. At some places, I will use a medium tone. I'm starting by picking some paints gray, and I'm mixing that with green to create a dao I'm going to add the first tree over here. Add a line now only onto the tip, keep adding some za lines. For this tap asp, we are only focusing on the tip of the tree. We're not going to show the entire tree. That's my first tree. We're only focusing on the tip of the tree. Now I'm picking more paint, and I'm simply adding that over here. See that? We only need to focus on the top part of the tree. The rest is going to be just a fronteral values of green. We're going to simply fill it up. Now I'm going to add the next tree over here, which can be a bit more shorter. First add a line then onto that. Keep adding some zigzag lines onto either side. In a similar way, I'm adding another one. See that. Start by adding a straight line. Then onto that line, keep on adding some six act lines onto either side. Now I'm going to pick more paint a darker to of cream, and I'm adding that over here. Okay. Only on the tip, we have some pine trees towards the bottom, we are just filling it up. Next, I'm picking some sap cream, and I'm adding that. The basic idea here is to keep on switching from one color to another. You can use a metam tone of green and also a taco tone and keep on adding some pine trees on the top. Just a random shape, then towards the bottom, you can simply fill in the color. Now, I'm going to add another tiny pin try here. It's a very simple pin tree. Start by adding a line. Then onto that, add some zzag lines, and that's it. It doesn't need to be very well detailed. To create the darker green, you can either make some sap green with indico or sap green with painsra. Right now, I have used sap creen with indico. Both gives you different in green, and that is the exact same reason why I'm using sap green and paints gray at some places. Then Sap green and indico at different places. This way I can achieve different tonal values in the background. Next time picking some water. I'm making the color lighter and with that lighter tun, I'm adding another tree here. See that? It's a mix of sap green and intc the color I use right now is slightly lighter. See that? This way we can try to introduce different tonal values in the background, which will automatically bring in a lot of realistic character to your painting. I'm using the same color. It's a medium to. I'm adding another tree there. See that. You can really make out those differences. Now towards the bottom, I'm introducing some paints gray. See that? We have a medium tone on the top, and darker tone towards the bottom. Now I'm picking some cream and I'm adding that onto the background. Just keep on playing with different greens and darker tones. I'm adding that onto the enter left side. Now going with a mix of indico and sap cream. And I'm adding that onto the background pool to that. Just keep on dropping that paint. Trust me, it is not a complex task. Give it a try, then you will gradually get to know how easy it is. Just go with your intuitions and wherever you feel like using sub cream add in that color, towards the bottom, be sure to add a dakot Because we have to introduce some more grassy texture at the bottom. Only if we have a darker tone in the background, those lines will be visible. Now I'm going to fill in this entire area in a taco tone. That's a bottom part. Now, we need to add more pine trees onto the left side. That's our next task. Be sure to play with different tonal values. That is what makes your painting look more beautiful. Don't use the same tonal value throughout. Over here, I have used a darker tone for this pine tree. Now I'm going to dive br in some water. I'm making the color slightly lighter. See that? Now with that lighter tone, I'm adding the next tree. Maybe with the same tonal value, we can add one more here. Look at that. So beautiful right. Play with different tonal values in a similar way. Trust me, it is going to take your painting to a whole another level, and also add them in different height. You can say have some taller trees on the right end, then to the center. They are shorter. Now, maybe towards the left, I will make it a little more taller like the right side. First, I'm going to apply some paint there, just randomly applying the paint. It's a Daco tone of cream. I guess it's a mix of indico and sap cream. I just use some paint on my palette. Okay. Now onto the top, I'm going to add some daker too, and then we also need to add some pine trees in between and with that, we'll be done with the left side. I'm picking some indico and using indico, I'm just dropping in some daker toons onto the top part. See that? Just drop in some darker toes here and there. It doesn't need to be perfect. We are only trying to create a texture. There is no particular way or method, you need to add them. Just add some teeny tiny dots and some shapes. Now with the same color, I'm going to add a few pine trees on to the top. See that? Go at different heights, just like we did earlier. Some of them can be taller and some of them can be shorter. Maybe we can add a few on to the left end over here. Add a line. Then add some messes exact lines onto either side, and that's your pine tree. All right, so that's a background. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm picking my smaller brush. This one is size number two. Then I'm picking a dark tone of green. The same color I used at the bottom, almost the same color. Now, with that, I'm going to add those grassy lines. It's the same technique we used for the first painting, if you remember. Add some lines at the bottom. The simple technique will give an impression of the grass in the background. If you have a straight horizon line. It will look a little weird. This way, it will look a lot more natural. Don't skip this step. Go with the color, which is almost same as the one you have used in the background. Then add these patterns, using a smaller brush. I'm almost half done, and I think you can clearly see the difference here. On the other half, it is a simple line and you can see which one is looking more beautiful, which clearly says we have to do the same thing on the other side as well. Let's quickly do that. Oh. All right, I'm nearly done, and that's how it has turned out. Beautiful. Now the next task is to add some more grassy line at the bottom. This one is completely optional. Only if you want to add some more lines here at the bottom, you could do that. To give it a more finished look. Earlier, we added those grassy lines on a wet background. Now when you add those patterns on a drier background, it will look more definite. It will have a better sheep. That's the only reason why we're doing this. I'm using the same color I used earlier. It's a mix of sap creen and into, and I'm only adding them at the bottom. The topmost area can stay acetus, add them only at the bottom, where you have the taco tons. But again, this step is optional. If you feel like there is enough texture and grassy pattern there, you don't need to add them again. So far, I'm really loving this painting. I love those pine trees and the texture we have got there. Anyways, this task is done. Now with the same tonal value, I'm just adding some paint in the background. I feel like it looks like a line in the background. I'm just scrubbing and adding some paint over there. All right, so that we're done with our painting. But there is one more thing that I would like to do, which is completely optional. Oh is adding some final touches using a light green. Here's the color I'm going to use. It's cadmium green light. You can go with any light green or you can just add a bit of sap green with lemon yellow and create a lighter green. Now, I'm going to pick a little of that paint. Okay. And I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel. Now with the slightly dry brush, I'm going to add some patterns onto the background. The paint you're using doesn't need to be too opaque. You can add a few drops of water. Go with a medium tone so that it is not too prominent. My intention is to add some more textures in the background, but this step is completely optional, as I said earlier. The color I'm using here is cadmium green light and I have used a medium tone. Then I'm just adding some patterns onto the background in a very random way. Here is a closer look off all those patterns are adding. See that? They're not too prominent, but you can still see them. Go in a similar way. If you're adding them, don't use a lot of paint. Go with bare minimum paint on your brush. When you add them on the areas where you have a darker to in the background, it looks really beautiful. See that? So just add them in a random way wherever you feel like, and be sure not to go then opaque paint, add a few drops of water, and coat the color that is kind of a medium tone. This way, it won't be too prominent, it will just merge with the background. That's a right side. In a similar way, I'm going to add a few patterns on the left as well. I'm really impressed with this texture. Honestly, with tclar we doesn't go for these layering. It is mostly a gashe and cylic technique. I'm someone who follows the traditional tcl rules. For me, it is all about enjoying the process and creating something that I allow. If you want to add some extra texture onto your background, you can follow this step. Otherwise, you can just ignore it. I feel those textures really made a difference, but maybe it's just me. Anyway, I will add a bit more on the top. Then with that, we'll be done with this step. The color I'm using here is cadmium green light. It's a medium tone, and every time when I'm taking the paint, I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel. Just to be sure the paint is not too watery. I want a paint which is slightly dry, not entirely. Also the color doesn't need to be too prominent. Those are the things you have to keep in mind when you're adding these patterns. Now, just in case, if you feel like they are way too much. In that case, dip your brush in some water, and then with a slightly wet brush, gently dab on those patterns. Now this will give it a more softer look. Now, I'm going to pick a little more paint, and I'm going to add some grassy lines in the background. Again, this one is also optional. That looks too bright. Go to the medium ton of any light green you have caught and add a quick round of grassy pattern only in the background. See that? This is where we have lighter green in the background. Am grassy pattern there. This will give it a more finished look. But again, it's completely optional. If you're already happy with the background and the result, you can totally ignore this step. When you add these patterns using a light two green onto that daco background, it makes your painting a little more interesting. See that? From the bottom, add them towards the top into that do background. It's a beautiful trick, but again, not necessary. Now there's a little more area left. I will add some grassy lines over there as well. The color I'm using here is a medium tone. That is why when it is drying up, it looks a little lighter. I'm not using a thick opaque tone. That's how it has turned out. I might be completely biased, but I have to tell you I'm in love with this painting. Maybe it is one of the best from the anti collection, and it is tiny, and it is beautiful. Anyway, now it's time to peel off the masking tape. I'm gently peeling it off at an ankle so that I have a clean border, and I won't rip off my paper. Okay. So that's the last side. Looks like I have got a clean border. So here's a closer look for all the textures and the details. I think it is beautiful, and I'm hoping you guys are loving your painting as well. If you're yet to try it, give it a try, and let me know if you liked it. 8. DAY 4 - Seaside: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day four of painting mini watercolor landscapes. Our painting for the day is a very minimalist yet a beautiful beach landscape. The entire process is very simple, and there isn't any complicated elements. Let's start by looking at the colors we will need. The first color you will need is cillin blue. That's a color I'll be using for the sky. You can go with any other color of your choice. It doesn't need to be cerlian blue. You can use Kobal blue or Prussian blue or any blue you have caught. It's a very simple sky. We'll start with the medium tone, then towards the bottom, we will make it lighter. Just go with any blue you have caught for the sky. Now the next color you will need is Coval cream. That's a color we will use for the C. We will apply this color onto the end a background first. Then to add some textures, we will use cerliu blue. Those are the first two colors you will need, Ciliin blue or any other blue, then Coval cream. Now coming to the third color, that is burna. We will use a really light of burn cena for the sandy area. You can see the color there. It's really light. For that, you will need some burn cena or brown. So that's our third color. This is the balcren. It is from Shinhin. The next color you will need is sap cream. The only foreground element we have in this painting is those grasses. That's the only element we have here. And to add those grassy patterns, we will need sap cream. I won't be using sap creen acts, I'll mix some burned cena with sap cream, and I'll create a color which is very similar to live cream. Now, the final color you will need as pin gray. We don't need a lot of paints gray only at some places to create a burn temper. Also to turn the green into a dakot, we will add a bit of pins gray. That's a final color you will need. There you have all the colors. Please don't worry if you don't have the exact same colors. Just go with any color that is nearly similar. Go with any blue for the sky. It doesn't need to be cyan blue. Keep all the colors ready, and let's give it a try. Okay, so here we are, I have my paper ready. I have fixed it onto my table. Next, I'm going to add a quick sketch. We need to add the horizon line. That's my horizon line. The entire top part is going to be the sky. Next, we need to add an irregular line to separate the sand and the sea. It's a simple irregular line. You can add that however you want to. The in between space, the sea and the bottom part is going to be the sandy area. For now, you only need to add these simple lines. The rest, all the textures and everything. We can add them later as you paint. The sketch is ready. Now we're going to start by painting the sky. The very first color you will need is cerliin blue, which is the color I'm going to use. You can go with any blue of your choice. Now I'm starting by applying a coat of water on to the entire sky. Just a nice gentle coat of water, don't add a lot. And make sure it is an even coat. Run your brush back and forth, multiple times. Just to be sure there is no pools of water in between. My sky is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number six brush. Always make sure your brush is clean before you start. Now I'm starting off with a medium tone of cerliin blue I'm going to apply that to the top of the sky. That's a medium tone of Cillian blue. Now, I'm just going to add some lines onto that wet background. If you want to go for a simple gradient wash, that's totally fine, or you can simply add some lines as you come towards the bottom onto that wet background so that you have some caps in between, which will make your sky look more natural and beautiful. See that? Simply add some lines onto that wet background, using your brush in between leave some paper white. This will give you a very natural looking sky. If you want to add some more lines, you could do that. Just pick some more paint and add a few more lines in between. Then dab brush on a paper towel. Make sure there isn't much paint on your brush. Now with that dry brush, just uh those paint to give it a softer look. It's a very simple sky. Make your background wet, then go for a medium tone of any blue. Then start by applying a medium tone on the top. Then as you come towards the bottom, introduce some lines onto the wet background while leaving some space in between. That's how it has turned out. Now, let's wait for this to try. The sky has dried completely. Next, we're going to start with the s. As I mentioned earlier, first, we're going to apply Coval creen that tier strip. Then we will introduce some texture using cerlian blue. Lodo brush with a bright tone of Coval creen, simply apply that color onto the space we have in between. We can see the tonal value I'm using. It is pretty bright. Go with a similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. We're not going to add any other elements onto the horizon line. Make sure you have a straight line there. Apply the pain carefully and make it a straight line. Now, fill in the bottom end, run your brush along that outline and carefully fill it up. Right now, I have just applied a solid wash of bal cream. Now onto this, we have to introduce some textures, and for that, I'm going back with Cerlian blue. Which way the blue you have used for the sky, you can use the same one. Pick up some paint. Now onto that bed background, add in some lines. They don't need to be too prominent, go the similar tonal value, and add a few lines here and there. The major color has to be Coval cream. Don't add a lot. Be careful about that. We only need few lines in between. That's all. Now, at any point, if you feel those lines are looking very rough, pick some coal cream again, and then smudge it. This will give it a softer look. That's how it has turned out. In case if you feel like adding a few more lines, you could do that. Maybe I will add a few more extra lines. Okay. Maybe only along the horizon. That's how it has turned out. I'm really happy with the color and the texture. Now we'll have to wait for this to try. Now it's time to paint the sandy area. First, I will apply a coat of water. I'll make sure my brush is clean. It wasn't. There was some green on it. Now it's clean. Start by applying a gentle coat of water onto that sandy area. We have paint on the top, so be careful to leave a gap in between. Along that top line, leave a tiny, tiny cap. We can fill up that cap as we're applying the paint. That area is evenly wet. Now the color I'm going to go with is burna. I will go with a lighter tone. Also, I will change my brush to a smaller one. I think this one is much better. This one is size number six. Again, make sure your brush is clean before you start. Now, go with a light tone of burn sena or brown. I'm picking a little adding some drops of water. We need a really light tone to make it look like sand. Be really careful from the top. I'm just adding some lines towards the bottom. See that? The background is wet, so the lines will nicely spread into the background, leaving a very soft texture. From the top, simply introduce the paint towards the bottom. It doesn't have any particular shape or anything. Just add that onto the wet background. That is a footep. We have applied a really light tone of pursina onto the background. Now, we have to go with a little more darker tone. When I say dark, it is just one to not too dark. Now let's apply that paint on the top in a similar way. If your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Now add in a few lines from the top towards the bottom. Okay. See that? When you're adding these lines, try to leave some gaps in between. So in between, we have some lighter tone and also some medium tone. Now, I'm going to go for one more round. And for that, I'm adding a little la pins gray into the same mix, a tiny bit of pinray. Now with that color, I'm adding some more lines on the top. So I'm just making the color a little more darker. This way, we have different tonal values in the background, and it will make it look more natural. Don't cover up that entire area. We need some lighter tone, then some medium tone and also slightly taker tone. Okay, so the sandy area is ready. Now onto this, we need to introduce those grassy pattern. For that, I'm picking more burn sa I'm adding some sap green along with that color to create olive green. If you have live green with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create. Here's the color I've created by mixing sap green and burn. Now, first, I'm going to locate the areas where I want to add those grassy pattern. The first one is going to be on the left side. Okay. Okay, so for now, I'm simply adding a shape there. Then I'll give it a more finer look. Make sure your pain is not too watery. If it's watery, dap it on a paper towel before you start. That's a first section. Now I'm adding another one towards the right side. Right now, it doesn't have any define cheap, which is totally fine. Don't worry about it. For now, we are only indicating the locations. I'm picking some more sac I'm adding that on the top. This is just to introduce another tonal value. Now let's add another one at the center over here. At this point, you might not be really pleased with your painting, which is totally part of the process. Now, don't think about anything else, simply add in that basic shape, and just locate the areas wherever you want to add those grassy pattern. You can also spread those patterns a little towards the bottom to give it a natural look. Using the tip of your brush, add in some teeny tiny pattern towards the bottom. At this point, your background might either have completely dried or it might be a little wet. For me, the left side is still a little wet. The right side has almost dried up. If your background is still really wet, you have to be a bit careful. Otherwise, you can just proceed with this step. You don't need to wait. Right now, we just have a random shape there. Next, I'm going to pick up more paint, more olive green. I will introduce a better looking grassy pattern there. Also, I have changed my brush into a smaller one. This one is size number two. This brush has a much better pointed tip so that I can add these lines very nicely. That's a first cluster. In a similar way, we have to add grassy patterns onto all these clusters. We have one at the center. Then we have a longer one on the left side. It's a simple step. There is nothing much complicated here. Go with any of your smaller brush and add some grassy pattern. Along with that, you can also add a few onto the sandy area, which has to be much more smaller. See that? Towards the bottom, where you have sand, introduce some smaller patterns, and towards the top, where you have the sea in the background, you can add longer and dramatic lines. If you have a smaller brish or a brish with the pointer tip, it is better to go with that so that you can add these crisp and thin lines. Here, I just keep on adding these free hand curvy lines onto the top. You can add them on top of the sea. Some of them can be longer. It can go over the horizon. Some of the lines can be longer, and some of them can be shorter. Those things are totally up to you. This will give it a more natural field. Okay. I will add a few more, then I will finish this cluster. Then we have to come back and add a few more lines using a taco to. Now, when you're adding these grassy lines, don't forget to add them at the bottom as well. First, we can finish the top part. On the top, we are adding longer lines. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add shorter ones at the bottom. See that? This one is also important to give it a finished look. Add few along the bottom part. Using a smaller brush which is really important. Otherwise, the lines will be really thick and prominent. Next, I'm going to add a bit of paints gray into the same mix. Using that dakotun I will add a few more lines to give it a finished look. Right now, the color is a medium tune. Go the dakotun and only add a few extra lines. Also, the color doesn't need to be super dark. You only need to add a little of paints gray to green. Now I'm going to add some more lines also at the bottom. See that? This group has a much more polished look than the other two because we have used darker tos. Now, in a similar way, I'm going to add some lines onto this group as well. Finally, we have to go with a bigger group. Now I'm adding a few towards the bottom. Some teeny tiny ones. Now going with the last group. If you don't add these lines using a darker tone. If we only leave it as medium tones, it won't have a finished look. You can clearly see the difference between the other two cluster and this one. To make our painting look complete, it is really important to go with the final round of grassy line. You don't need to add a lot. Just a few is all we need. Mix some paints and sap cream, go with a smaller brush. Now add a few more lines and finish it off. So that is done. Now we have two more task left. The first one is adding some texture on the sandy area. I'm mixing some paint scray with brown, and I'm creating a color which is similar to burn temper. Now, once you have taken the paint, Do paper towel. Just add small patterns below that grassy thing we have added. See that? Just add some super tiny and some random shapes. We are trying to add some texture. We need these patterns only over here, so don't go overboard and be careful to add them in a smaller size. It can be just a few tops and small lines and shapes. And also maybe some dry patterns. Okay, that's it. That's how it has turned out. Now, we have one more task left. For that as well, I'm going to use the same color. It's a mix of brown and pinks gray. First, I'm going to add a few lines, a few longer ones. I have added two, going with the other one. Maybe we could add one more. You can add in as many lines as you want. It doesn't matter. You can add them on the right asph. I'm just focusing on the left side on this particular cluster. Okay, so the lines are in. Now on the tip of the lines, I'm going to add a detail, which is more like Pampas grass or Foxtel plan. Just add some lines or some grains onto the tip of that line to give it a better character. Now let's do the same thing on the other one. Add them only on the tip. Just add a few lines on either side, and that's it. It doesn't need to be perfect. They're super tiny, and they're far away. Just keep on adding some tiny lines on either side. That's it. The brush I'm using here is size number two. It has got a really nice pointed tip. Go with any brish with a pointed tip so that you can add them very nicely. Okay. You can also add a few more extra lines, longer ones. All right. With that, we're done with our painting for the day. It's a very simple beat landscape. Give it a try if I re to try it. It's a very minimal and clean painting. There isn't a lot of elements. So, now it's time to peel up the masking tape. All right, so here is our minimalist, beautiful Beach landscape. I hope you all enjoyed the process and loved the pain you have created. Before I wrap this up, there is one task I want to do. For that, I'm picking a little white quash. This is nothing else. I want to cover that blue paint along the border. I want to clean border. There are a few there are a few things which I'm very particular about. Getting a clean border is one of them. If it doesn't happen, I just fix it with some white quash, and it just makes me happy, why not? Anyway, here is the finished painting. I hope you all had a lovely time. Okay, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next mini landscape. Oh. 9. DAY 5 - Red Poppy: Hello, my dearest friends. Welcome to Day five. Our meaning painting for the day is a bright red poppy flower. I really love that striking contrast we have here that red flower and the green background. They're going very well together. The painting process is really interesting. In a way, let's have a look at the colors and then we can get to that. As you could see here, I have used a wide range of greens for the background. There is a light green, a medium green, and also a darker green. The light green I have used here is cadmium green light. You can go with any lighter green you have card. If you don't have a lighter green, you just have to simply add some lemon yellow with Sap green and you can easily create a lighter green. It doesn't need to be the exact same color. Just go with any lighter green you have card. That's the first color. The next one is sap green. Sap green is a common color, and I hope you all have it. It's a beautiful green. It's a beautiful green to paint lush greenery, which no other green can match. Those are the two greens I will be using. One is cadmium green light, which is the lighter green. Then it is sap green, which is the medium green. Now, there is one more color you will need to make your green appear more darker. For that, I'll be adding some paints gray along with Sab cream. Basically, we'll be applying coat of water onto the background while leaving the flower. If you want to apply masking fluid onto the flower, you could do that and you can preserve that area. Then onto that wet background, they onto that wet background, we will randomly add these colors. That's how we're going to paint the background. Now, along with these colors, you will also need some white guash, or white watercolor. You can see those thorns and some highlights over here. For that, tube will need some white guash or white watercolor. Now, there are two more colors you will need. Over is an orange and red. Those are the two colors we will use for the flower. First, I swatch out orange. This color is called brilliant orange. It is from Shinhan. It's a bold and beautiful orange. If you don't have a similar color, you can go with vermin, or you can go with any sort of orange. Okay. Go with a bright orange to create a contrast. Along with orange, you will also need some red. These are the two colors I'll be using, brilliant orange and Pyl red. Let's watch out red next. This one is also a really bright color. And that's why we have a striking contrast here. See that? It's a very bold red, and it is called Pyl red. You can go with permanent red or any other red hop cord. Those are the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need a variety of green and then a red and orange. Please don't worry if you don't have the exact same colors. Just go with any color that is nearly similar. As I mentioned, we just need some green, orange and red. So keep all the colors ready. Let's give it try. Okay, so I have my paper ready here. Now, the very first step is to add the sketch. We need to add a poppy flower and also a bud. First, I will start by adding a line a long curvy line. So that's a stem. I'll add one more similar line to show the thickness. Now onto this, I'm going to add a flower. I'm going to go for a very simple flower. It's not a complicated shape. Also to make it easier, I'm adding the finished painting here. You can have a look at that and adding your flower. Also, if you want to go for a different shape, that's totally fine. It doesn't need to be exactly the same way. Also, one more thing, you can place your flower wherever you feel like. It doesn't need to be towards a left. You can place it at the center or towards a right. Those things are totally up to you. The basic shape is ready. Next, I'm going to add two more petals over here. These will be the petals in the front. Then we have two petals right behind that. That's a shape I'm going with. You can modify it however you feel like. Maybe we can stretch this petal a little more to give it a different shape. Now, next, we need to add the bud. I'm again going with two lines and then a sheep on the top. That's a sketch. I'm only going for one flower, and one bud. If you want to add one more bud or another flower, feel free to do that. The sketch is ready. Now, the first thing we are going to do is to paint the background. For that, you will need different kinds of green. I will use some light green, screen and also some paints gray. I have a light green, a medium green, and a darker to. Now when you have the colors ready, apply a hot of water onto the background. Try to leave the flower and apply water onto the remaining area. If you want to apply masking tape onto the flower, you could do that. It's a big flower, so I thought we just have to be a bit careful. There is no real need of masking fluid. But if you prefer that way, you can apply masking fluid. Now, the same h, I'm picking some grain, this one is sap cream and I'm applying that onto the wet background. See that? Simply adding your paint onto the wet background, and it would spread and create a nice blurry texture. I'm just randomly applying sap cream around the flower. Next I'm picking some light cream, and I'm adding that in a similar way. The only place you have to be careful is the place around the flower. The rest you can simply drop in the paint without thinking much. Okay. Just keep switching from one color to another. At some places, you can use sap cream, and at some places, you can use ato cream. Next, I think I will apply paint around the flower. Then I will introduce some dakotons as well. Right now, I have applied cadmium green and sap cream, and that's how it has turned out. I'm going to pick more sap cream. First, I will carefully fill in the area around the flower. Then we can start adding the dakotons Go with any of your smaller brush or a medium size brush, which brush you're comfortable with and carefully follow the outline of the flower and fill in those areas. This one is a very small piece of paper, so we can manage to finish painting in the background before it dries up. If it's a bigger background and if you have a lot more flowers, obviously, you will have to go for masking fluid. Otherwise, it will become a very difficult task to finish everything before the background dries. Have finished one side. Now, I have some area left on the top and also at the bottom. The brush I'm using here is size number eight. If you want to go for a smaller one, you could do that as well. I'm also applying that around the stem. The stem is not really important. If you're not able to retain that space, it's okay, you can just fill up the paint on top of it, then we can come back with a lighter green and add that again. That is totally fine. The only major element here is the flower. Try to retain that. For the flower, we have to introduce some beautiful orange and red shades. If there is some green on it, it won't look nice. Be really careful when you're applying paint around the flower. The stem, as I said earlier, that's fine. We can somehow manage to make it look okay. Now, I have some more area left here. I will quickly fill in that space. Then we can go with some paints gray and introduce some dakotons onto the same background to make it look more interesting. Oh. Okay, as have apply paint onto the entire background. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray, and I will mix that with sap cream to create a darker tone, and we have to introduce that color onto some of the areas before the background dries up. I'm just using a dao tone of green. It's a mix of pinsra and a bit of sap cream. I'm randomly dropping that in onto the background before it dries up. Okay. There is no rule here. You can drop in your taco tones wherever you want to and you can retain the lighter tones, wherever you want to. Those things are totally up to you. Just go in quickly and add in those paint, however you feel like. Don't worry a lot. When it dries, it will look really beautiful. For now, your only task is to add in those different tonal values onto the background. Before it dries up, I'm very happy with the way it is turning out, but I feel there is still some dakotuns lacking. With a smaller brush, I'm going to pick some paint skin acids and I'm going to quickly add that onto some random places to introduce those taco toes I will add few around the flower as well. See that. Simply adding your paint and scrub that into the background to give it a softer look. You don't need to add a lot, add a few here and there. Let's add some towards the bottom as well. I want to tell you, you don't need to follow the same way how I'm adding these tacotons or the greens. They look at your painting. Wherever you feel some tacotons will enhance the background, add them in. It doesn't need to be the exact same place where I'm adding it. Just keep on adding them onto the background quickly. Before it dries up, we want a soft background. Those colors should not look too rough. Okay. Also, if you feel it is good already, there is no need to add any extra taco tones. You can leave it the way it is. Just because I'm adding more, you don't need to do the same. To me, I have the habit of overdoing things sometimes end up good and sometimes it doesn't. So I'm not really sure how this is going to enter. This background is looking really nice, so I don't think I should take a risk. I should call it time. Beautiful. I really love all those grains we have created here. The texture is really nice. Now when we add the red flower, it will look even more beautiful. Only to this corner, I will add some more paints gray. With that, I'm going to call it done. That's my background. I hope you all are enjoying the process and loving the cordial background you're creating. Here's mine. With that, I'm calling it done and I'm leaving it for drying. Okay, the background is ready. It has dried up beautifully. I'm loving the colors and the textures we have created here. It looks really nice. Anyway, the next task is to paint the flower, and for that, I'm going to use majorly two colors, which is brilliant orange and Pyl red. These are the two colors. They are from Shinhan. Just go with bright orange and bright red. Now, the very first step is to apply orange onto the entire flower. Go really bright tone of orange. It can be any orange or vermion. Now I'm going to apply this onto the flower. I'm leaving the petals at the back and I'm focusing on the front side. See the color. It is a bright orange. This particular color is called brilliant orange, and I think the name is very accurate. It's a bold and brilliant orange. Now I'm going to apply this to the flower. Go the similar tonal value. Don't add a lot of water and make it light. We want a bright color for the flower so that it will stand out from the background. Okay. So as I mentioned, I'm going to leave the p petals as it is for now. Once we finish the front part, we can paint the other two. Okay, so I'm going to quickly paint the base layer. Then using red. We need to add some textures on to that. Oh. Oh. Okay, so that is the base layer. I have applied orange on to the te flower. Now with the same brash, I'm picking some bread. This one is spiral red. Now, from the bottom, I'm going to add some lines onto the top. See that? This is just to create some texture. Otherwise, it will look plain and empty. Before the base layer dries up, using red color, add in some lines onto those petals. You can add a few lines from the top to the bottom as well. I'm really loving that bright red and orange against the green background. Anyways, let's add in some more lines. If you feel like there's a lot of paint on your brush, dab it on a paper towel. For the base layer, we used brilliant orange. Now using red, we are adding some texture. I haven't added any lines from the top towards the bottom. I will quickly add a few lines. Then I will go the dark toon of red. From the top to bottom as well, add in a few lines in a similar way. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray a little bit. Then I will mix that with red to create a daco red. That's the color I'm using. It's a mix of paints gray and red color. Now with this color as well, we have to introduce some lines only at the bottom. From here, add some lines toward the top. We don't need a lot. The major color has to be that red and orange. Just add a few lines from the bottom toward the top. Be careful about the tronal value. It should not be too dark. Okay. I've cleaned my brush. With that paint in the background itself, I'm just pushing it towards the top because I don't want that to be too dark. Just use that paint in the background and simply pull that towards the top. And add some lines in a similar way. You can see how beautiful that flower is turning out when we are adding those taco tones. It is actually the magic of different tonal values. First, we used orange for the base layer. Then we added some textures using red, and now we are playing with a taco tone of red. Next, I'm picking some more paints gray, and I'm adding that at the bottom area. See that. For the poppy flower, it looks darker at the bottom. That's what I try to do right now. Okay. Now I'm going to paint these two petals at the back for that, I'm going to go with some red. And I will simply apply that paint to those two petals. I won't be adding any extra texture or details. You can either use red or a mix of red and orange. And simply fill that in. If you want to, you can add some textures onto those petal, some lines like we did earlier. But I feel it's not necessary. It's a small section. As we're using a taco toon, it looks like there is some shadow on it. I feel it is this colors enough, but that is totally my opinion. If you want to add some dakots you could do that. Okay. I'm nearly done with this pato. All right. That's our flower. Now, we have the stem and also the bud left. Which is a fairly easy task. The first color, I'm going to pick the slight green and I'm going to add that onto the left side. Go with any of your smaller brush or a medium size brush. Now onto this stem, apply a light cream first. Even if you haven't got a clean line here or if there is some pain in the background, that is totally fine. You can still use the same technique, but you'll have to go with a slightly opaque tone of green. Next, I'm picking some sap cream and I'm adding that right nextra light cream. You don't need to put any extra effort in blending. It is just a thin line. Simply add in your color. It will automatically blend into each other, and that's all we need. There is no near of putting any extra effort. We have light green and sap cream. Next, we have to go the much more taco green. We have to add that onto the right side over here. I'm picking some paints gray. I only have a little pin there. I think that would be enough. I'm mixing that with green. Now I'm adding that onto the left side. See that? We started off with a light green. Then we used sap cream and now we're using a taco cream. And that's a first stem. Now, in a similar way, we have to paint the bud and also the stem for that one. So I'm going back with light green, and I'm adding that onto the bud. Now we can continue the same paint towards the bottom. Let's add that onto the stem. Now, with the same press, I'm picking some sap cream. Now let's add that onto the stem and also to the bud. Just in case if you don't have a clean shape there, that's totally fine, like I said earlier, go with an opaque tone, don't add a lot of water into your light cream and simply add in the line. It will still be visible. Now, in case if it's not visible, what you can do is add some white watercolor or white quash, just a tiny bit into your light cream and give it some opaque character. That's what you can do, give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. I've used light green and sap green here. Next, we have to go with a darker cream. I'm mixing some sap green with paints gray, and I'm adding that color onto the right side of the bud, as well as onto the stem. Right now, we have simply applied the paint onto the stem and also onto the bud. But you can see it doesn't have a finished look. It still looks like there is something lacking. First, I will add a bit of paint here at the bottom. Then we can go with those final touches. We have the stem and the bud in place. This one has nearly dried. It is not completely wet. Now for the final detailing, I will need some white gouache. It can be white gouache or white watcl. If you have guage go with that, we only need a tiny bit of paint. I'm going to squeeze out a little of white gouache onto my palette. Then you will also need a smaller brush, a miniature brush or a detailing brush or any brush with a pointed. I'm using a size number two run brush. Now, with this brush, I'm picking a little white guash. Don't take a lot of paint, pick only a little. Now with that pointed tip, I'm adding some highlight onto the left side first. Go with a similar thickness. Don't make it too opaque. You can add a few drops of water into white guash or white watercolor. W B that you're using and add a line. It doesn't need to be a continuous line. You can add a broken line. Okay. Now in a similar way, I will add some white highlights onto the bud asple again onto the left side. We need to retain the shadows and the taco Tons on the right side, add the highlight only on the left. Now, there's one more task that we have to do with adding some super tiny lines onto this stem. Give it a watch. They have to be super tiny and super thin. I don't know really what these lines are called. You can see them on the stem of some flowers and also some vegetables. See that. The thickness is something you have to be really careful about. Also, you don't need to add a lot. Just add a few in between. Okay. So please be sure to go with a smaller brush or a detailing brush or any brush with a pointed tip. You can also use a wide che pen if you feel that is more easier. Anyways, this one is nearly done. Now we have to add similar lines onto the other stem and also the bud. First, I will add them on the stem. Leave some gaps in between. Don't add them too close to each other. Okay. The stem is done. Next, I'm going to add them onto the bud. I will add them along that shape first, that oval shape. Then I will add a few onto the surface asp. Quickly add a few lines along that outer line. Okay, so that's done. Now we can add a few onto the surface of the bud. Please go the deing brush or a smaller brush. Otherwise, these lines will look really prominent. Now they are barely visible, go in a similar way. All right, so that's a bud. With that, we are done with our painting for the day. I hope you all enjoyed the process and managed to finish the painting. To me, the most interesting part is that striking contrast. Before I peel off the masking tape, I'm picking some paint screen, and I'm giving it a better shape here. Okay, that's it. Now it's time to pin up the masking tape. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of painting flowers, but I had a similar painting in my spring vertica challenge. It was on a bigger scale with a lot more elements. Maybe that is the only floral painting I really enjoyed working with. I thought of adding a miniature version in this class, here it is. I hope you all enjoyed it. Give it a try. It's a simple process. The only tricky part would be leaving the flower when you're applying paint onto the background. But you just have to be a little extra careful. That's all. It isn't a complex task. We just have to drop in different tonal values of green onto the background, and they will create a nice blend. All right, so that's all for the day. Give it a try if I had to try it and let me know if you liked it. 10. DAY 6 - Aerial Sea: Hello, L. Welcome to day six. Our painting for the day is a stunning seascape. This one has to be one of the easiest and the prettiest seascape I have ever painted. Let's quickly have a look at the colors. Let's get into the process. To paint the sea, I will be using three colors. I will start with Cabal creen. We will only use a little of Cabal creen closer to the shore. The major color is Terquoise blue. That is Coval creen. The one I'm using here is from Shin him. The next color you will need is Terquois blue, which is the major color I will use for the sea. This one is from White knights. Now, there's one more color I will use to add the taco Tones which is indico. We don't need to add a lot of daker toes. We only need to add a little mostly towards the top right corner. And for that, I will use a bit of indico. Those are the three colors I will use to paint the sea, Coval green, turquoise blue, and intc. The next color we will need is burn cena. We'll use a lighter tone to paint the sandy area. We will use a lighter tone of burn scena to paint the background. Then onto that, we'll add some textures using a taco tone. Which is going to be a mix of Burna and paints gray. We'll also be using paints gray for the rocks. That is our final color. To paint the rocks, we will only need paint scray. We will start with the metamtne as the base layer. Then on to that, we will introduce some textoes. Those are the colors you will need for Trays painting. We will need oval creen, turquoise blue, indico, burn Sina, and paint scray. Keep all the colors ready, and's give it a try. All right, so let's start. First, we have to add an irregular line to separate the sea and the sand. Just go for an irregular line. We can modify that later as we paint. Next, I'm going to randomly place a few rocks. I will add the huge ones. I'm adding one over here. Go with an irregular shape to make it look more natural. See that? Now, next to this, I will add a smaller one. Now, maybe another one there. Add them in different shapes and sizes. You can add them however you want to. It doesn't need to be in the same way. Next, I'm adding a bigger one over here. We have two bigger rocks. Now we can randomly place a few smaller ones, one there and one here. Maybe we can add one more over here. I hope it is not too much. That's a sketch. We have the sand part and the s. Then also some rocks. Now, first, we're going to start with the sea. Along with that, we'll also paint the sante area. Finally, we will add the waves and the texture and also we will paint the rocks. I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready. We need turquoise blue, cabal green, and also some into. These are the three colors we will use to paint the sea. Then along with that, you'll also need some burnsina and paints gray. Before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready. Once you have them ready, apply a code of water onto the end of paper. Okay. You don't need to leave out the rocks. You can apply water on top of it as well. Okay, so the background is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint B I'm making sure my brush is clean, and I'm starting off with turquoise blue. Pick a medium tone first. Now, apply that onto the wet background. I'm starting from here. And I'm adding turquoise blue almost onto the half of the s. I used a medium to first. Now I'm picking a slightly taco tone, and I'm adding that onto this corner. Okay. Next, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some cobalcream I'm going to add that onto the remaining area. You don't need to clean your brush, pick cobalcream with the same brush and add that over here. Okay. Closer to the rocks. I'm using Coval cream onto the remaining area, I have applied turquoise blue. So far, we have only used turquoise blue and Coval cream. Now it's time to introduce more deeper tones. First, I will use a taco tone of turquoise blue itself. I'm dropping in that onto the wet background. Mostly onto the outer side, then we can add a few lines in a very random way. Don't add a lot towards rocks. We have to retain that coval cream. Also, if your paint is water, dab it on a paper towel. Don't let it spread a lot. Okay. The color I'm using right now is a darker tone of turquoise blue itself. Gradually, I will cover some indico to introduce some more taker tones. Mostly under the outer corner. Always be sure to cover the paint, which is not too watery. If it's too watery, it will spread a lot and we'll cover up all those medium tones and lighter tones. I'm picking some more paint. I'm adding a few more lines towards the outer corners over here. You can see I'm randomly adding some lines. They don't have any particular size or shape. Next, I'm picking some indico, and I will introduce some more tacotons Only go to the outer side. I don't want to add any tacotons towards the shore. I'll just add a few here to introduce a different kind of texture. They can be a broken line or a thick line or any kind of shape. That is indigo. Now I'm going to clean my grah I'm picking a little of turquoise blue, more like a medium tone. Then I will gently smudge it. You need to do this only if you feel like those patterns are very prominent and too loud. Otherwise, you can just leave it acidus. You don't need to smudge it. That's a background. Please be sure not to wear a lot of patterns. It's a very small piece of paper. Let's not overdo it. That's my background. I'm done with the C. Next, we have to paint the sand part. Okay. So I'm cleaning my brush and I'm right away going with a lighter tone of burn cena. The brush I'm using here a size number eight, the same brush I used to paint the sea. Now, let's apply that over here. Looks like the background has tried up. I'm picking more water and I'm applying the paint. The brown and blue doesn't need to blend into each other. They can look as two separate sections. That's not a problem, so don't worry about it. So first, apply a lighter tone of burn scena onto the entire area. Now, I'm picking a little of paints gray, and I'm mixing that with burn seiner. More like a burnt umber shade, but it's not too dark. Now I'm going to apply that color onto the wet background, closer to the sea. See that. Simply add in some shapes and lines and some thoughts maybe. We're trying to create a texture. Just add that onto the wet background. You don't need to think a add that in. When it tries, it will look really beautiful. Play with a similar tonal value. Don't make it too dark. That's the only thing you have to be careful about. I know at this point, the background is looking super messy, which is totally okay. Don't worry about it. With the next step, it is going to look incredibly stunning. That's a background. We have painted the sea and also the sand part. Now we'll have to wait for this to try before we go with the next step. So that's how it has dried. It is still looking a little messy, but it is going to change in the next few minutes. Okay. So first, I'm going to pick some paints gray. I will start with the medium tone. And I'm going to apply that on to the first rock. Simply follow that outline and fill in the shape and a medium tone of paints gray. You can either go one by one or you can paint all the rocks together. I'm going to apply a medium tone of paints gray on to maybe two or three rocks together. Then I will add the darker tones. This way, we can finish it off quite quickly. Here's a second rock. I'm adding a medium tone. Now for the other one as well. Now we have another one here. Then we have a bigger one. Simply follow the outline and add in a medium tone of paints gray onto that entire shape. You can modify the shape if you want to. Go for an irregular shape to make it look more natural. Half of the rock is on the sea and half of it is on the sand. Now let's introduce the taco tones with the same press, I'm picking a taco tone I'm adding that randomly onto the rock. Okay. See that? Simply add that in, it doesn't need to look perfect or it doesn't need to be blended into the background. We're trying to create some texture. If it's rough, it's better. Start with the medium tone, apply that onto the entire rock. Then add in some taco tone in a very random way. Now let's go with the second bigger rock. I'm adding some textures using a taco tone. See that. My idea is to have some medium tones in between and also some taker tones. I'm not worrying too much. I'm simply adding that taker tone onto the background. We have a few more smaller rocks. Next, I will go with this one here. See that. That one has completely dried up, which is completely fine. It's a very small rock, and you can still add taco patterns. Now we have two or three tiny rocks towards the bottom. Let's go with that. We have to apply a medium to. That is too dark. I'm applying a medium to onto the remaining rocks. Now we have a smaller one there, and also one at the bottom. Next, I'm going to add some more texture onto the bigger rocks. The other ones are looking quite fine, but for the bigger ones, we need to add some more texture, and for that, I'm using a darker tone of paints gray. I'm picking an opaque paint. Now I'm dabbing my pressure on a paper towel. Now, let's introduce some dry patterns onto the rock. This is just to give them some extra texture. Randomly add some right textures onto the rock, using a darker tone. These textures will make it look more realistic. That's the first big rock. Now in a similar way, let's add some right patterns onto the other one as well. At any point, if you feel your pain is watery, dab it on a paper towel, before you add these patterns, and they can be super random. We can add them wherever you want to. Now let's go with the smaller rocks. We have two on the top and few at the bottom. These ones are very small, so you can just add a few here and there. Now we have few at the bottom, but they're already very dark. There's a trick that you can do, dip your brush in some water. Then with a wet brush, smudge the paint a little. That. You're basically lifting off the paint. We can do that over here as well. Wherever you feel. Wherever you feel, there is some texture lacking, go with the wet brush and just mudgt. By doing this, you're actually lifting off the paint. Thereby introducing some texture. With that, we have finished painting the rocks. Our next and the final task is to add the waves. For that, you will either need white guash or white watercol. I'm going to use some white guash. I have taken some paint on my brush. I haven't added any water. It's a very opaque ic paint. Now, first, I will add an irregular line. I'm adding the wave right where we have brown and alreen Just follow that line and add in a wave. You rely to worry a lot, add a thick line, a thick white line. You can take that along the outline of the rock, then continue to the sandy area. See that? Just add them around the rock and then continue and add in your line until you reach the other end. Okay. The first step is to introduce that line. Then we can add more textures. Don't add much water. Go with an opaque paint. You can either use gouache or watercolor, both will work. Have added the line. Now we can introduce some dry textures towards the inner side where we have the sea. The same brush, I'm just adding some dry textures to make it look like that forming water. I think it is better to start from the top and then come to at the bottom. Okay. You can also modify the shape of your wave. On the top over here, I'm adding some more white paint to cover all the mess. Then I'm going to continue that towards the bottom. Just keep on adding some dry patterns towards the inner side. I haven't added any water. I'm just picking the paint acids, and I'm introducing some dry textures onto the background. If your paint is loose or watery, you won't be able to get those try patterns. Also, you will end up lifting off the paint from the background. Please be sure to go the dry paint to get the best result. You can see how beautiful it is turning out when we introduce the wave. That's the reason why I told you it is totally okay if the blue and brown is looking like two separate sections. You can see how easily and smartly we transformed a messy background into a beautiful seascape. I hope you guys are entering the process. Now I'm picking more paint, and I will add some more patterns. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. Now, just in case if you want to add some more opaque paint, around the rocks, you could do that. I've taken more paint, and I'm adding some textures around the rock. I will do the same for the other one asphal I'm picking more paint directly from the tube, and I'm adding that over here. It's a thick opaque white paint. I haven't added any water. Just around the rock, I'm introducing more white paint. To make it look like there are some waves crashing onto them. We can add a few here asphal onto this rock. Just go the white paint, preferably a dry paint and add some textures around the rocks. We have another tiny rock here. Let's do the same for that as well. Yeah, just go with some opaque white paint. It can be a white quash or white tclar and add some textures onto the background. You can add some thick white paint around the rocks to make it look like there are some waves crashing. Then onto the background, you can add a few textures as using a trip paint. They don't need to be too prominent. Just add some subtle patterns. See that? Pick a little paint, not a lot and then introduce some textures like this onto the background. That's how it has turned out. Now, if you want to add some more paint, you could do that. Add a little more here. I feel it's not prominent. I'm just going for one more round. Now once I'm done with this, I'm going to extend the waves a little into the sand. We don't need to limit their shape, we can make them flow into the sand. Break that wave and add some white texture around the rock over here where you have the sand. We can do the same thing on the other side as well. This way it will look more natural. Yeah, have a look at your painting and wherever you feel, you want to extend the shape of your wave. You could do that. Just add a few more white lines around the rocks or wherever you feel like. Okay. Now, there are a few final touches I want to go with, which is completely optional. The first step is to add some more texture onto the rock. I'm cleaning my brush and I'm going with a really dark tone of paints gray. It's a super dark tone. Once I've taken the paint, I'm dabbing it on a paper towel. Now I'm introducing some more dry textures onto the rock. Using a really duct. I had a look at my painting, and I thought it's nice to add some more darker patterns. But if you feel you already have enough darker patterns, you don't need to add anymore. I felt like mine has faded and that's the reason why I added them again. Anyway, if that's done. Now the same color paints gray, I'm going to add a few tiny rocks here and there. See that, they're super tiny. Place them randomly wherever you want to. These are very small, so we don't need to add any extra textures or anything. Go with a dark tone of pain scray add some small random shapes like this. It doesn't need to have any particular shape. It can be super random. I will add one more next to this. I don't want to overdo it. With this, I'm stopping it. Now, there is one more last task I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going back with that burnt umper color I created earlier, which was a mix of paints gray and a bit of burn cena Okay. I've taken that paint. Now I'm dabbing my brush on a paper towel. I'm introducing some textures onto the background. It's a lighter tone. These are just some quick textures. It is just a simple mix of some paints gray and burn scena. Go the lighter to dab it on a paper towel. Make sure you have a dry paint. Then simply add some textures around the rocks and wherever you feel like. That's it. With that, we're done with our painting for the day. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. Okay, my dear friend, so here is the finished painting. It was a quick one, and I think it is really beautiful as well. I hope you all enjoyed it. Thank you so much for joining me. I'll be back here soon with our next mini landscape. 11. DAY 7 - Foggy Forest: Hello, friends. Welcome today seven of painting many vertical landscapes. Today, we're trying a monochrome painting. The entire process is really gorgeous and even the painting, and the best part is that you will only need some paints gray for this painting. We will play with different tonal values of paints gray. We will start with the lighter tone, and that's the color we're going to use for the background. Something similar to the tonal value. Okay. And then for the trees, we will go with a medium tone, which means you have to add less water and more pigment. We will use a similar tonal value to paint the trees in the foreground, and for the final detailing, we will use a taco tone. The paint scra I'm using for this painting is from remrant, The one you see right there on my table. You can go with paints gray or even antico for this painting or a different color of your choice. It can be a dao brown or a Daco green. Basically, it can be any color where we have opportunity to play with different tonal values. Right here, I have added satusf a lighter tone, a medium tone, and a taco tone of paints gray. For our painting asph we will use a similar range of tonal values to create that foggy effect. Keep your paper ready and squeeze out some paints gray onto your palette, and let's give it a try. So today, we're going to try a monochrome painting, and the only color you will need is paints gray. You can also go with indico. Okay, so that's the only color we will need. We will play with different tonal values of paints gray. Now, I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the anterior background. Apply a nice general coat of water. Don't add a lot. Make sure it's an even coat. I'm hoping you guys have the color ready on your palette. It can be either indico or paints gray. We're going to start applying the paint right away. And for that, I'm going to go with my size number eight rush. Make sure it is clean before you start. Now, to begin with, we are going to go with a lighter tone of paints gray. Add in enough of water and keep the paint ready. Now I'm going to drop that onto the wet background in a very random way. See that? Simply add in some shapes and some patterns onto the background. While leaving some caps in between. You can see at some places, we have a lighter tone. In between, there is some caps, some wide caps. Only on the top part, I have added some paint. It's more like a lighter to medium tone. Now we can drop in some more paint on the top to introduce some texture. For this painting, the only element we're going to add are some trees. On the top to create that texture like foliage. I'm dropping in some more paint, using a medium tone. You just have to put some dots and some tiny tiny patterns. Nothing much. It will nicely spread into the background, leaving a soft texture. Add them only on the top, the bottom can be actus. You don't need to add any extra patterns at the bottom. Just keep on adding some patterns using a medium tone. If you paint is too watery, remember to dab your brush on a paper towel. Otherwise, they will spread a lot and it will be very difficult to control the way they are spreading. Okay. So to get a better control, it is always good to work with the pain, which is not too watery. I will add a few more in between. Maybe using a little daker tone This way, we have different tonal values in the background, and it will automatically add a lot of beauty to painting. That's how it has turned out. I think I have added enough I'm cleaning my brush and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Now, only if you feel your patterns are too much, you can gently smudge them using a clean brush. See that? Don't put a lot of pressure, be very gentle, gently those patterns to give it a softer look. Only if you feel they are way too prominent. Otherwise, you can just leave it acts. If your background is still wet and if you want to add some more patterns, you could do that right now. So take a quick look and see if there is enough patterns. Okay, so that's my background. Now we can leave this for trying. That's how it has turned out. I feel like I should have gone for a bit more darker tone because the colors are very light right now when it dried up. Anyways, what's done is done. Now let's go the next step, and for that, I'm coing with a medium tone of pinks gray again. For this step, I'm using a smaller brush. This one is size number six. Now, we're going to add plenty of trees in the background. That's the kind of tonal value I'm going with. I'm going to add the first tree. It's just a thick line using a medium tone. Go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too dark. Now, let's add another tree. It can be a straight line or a slightly irregular line. Don't think too much, add them wherever you feel like. Okay, that's my second tree. Now I'm going to add another one right next to that, or the same tonal value. Then gradually we can make it more darker. While I'm adding my next tree, I will also do a trick using a paper towel. I hope you all have a paper towel next to you. Let me quickly finish the third tree, and then we can do the magic. Now with a paper towel, I'm simply dabbing on the tree. Okay. See that? This is just to create a foggy effect. The paint is looking lighter at the center, and it looks like there is some fog, and that is a trick. Just one gentle press is all we need, and we have to do this while the pain is still wet. If it has dried up, the paint won't come off, and it wouldn't create that foggy effect. Now, I'm going to add another tray over here. Using a similar tonal value. It's an irregular shape. I will add that onto this corner. Now, if you want to dab your paper towel, and then gently press on it and remove some paint to give it that foggy effect. It's a very beautiful trick you can easily create that foggy misty effect. Now, let's add the other trees. You can add the trees however you feel like and you can place them as per your choice. It doesn't need to be exactly the same way. Once we are done with this, we will go for a little more taco and we will add another set of trees. I'm adding the next one here. Again, using the same tonal value. Now I'm picking my paper towel, and I'm gently tapping on it. Okay, that's how it has turned out. We have one, two, three, four, five trees now, and it's all using a medium tone. I think it looks boring. So to give it some extra dimension. We need to introduce a slightly darker tone, and that is our next task. It is exactly the same exercise. We're going to add few more trees, but using a slightly darker tone. Let's start. Using the same brush, this one is size number six. I'm picking a slightly darker tone of paints gray, not too dark. It is just one tone darker than the color we used earlier. Okay. If you want to, you can try the color on a scrap piece of paper before you start. I'm going to add the tree over here. That looks super dark. Okay, this is fine. Now I'm going to continue that towards the top. If you have noticed, I haven't added any trees overlapping with each other. In the previous layer of trees, I added them with some cap in between so that I don't need to wait for them to dry. But now they have dried up, which means I can add some trees on that side as well. That's a tree. Now I'm grabbing my paper towel, and I'm picking some paint from the background. See that? In a similar way, you can add as many trees as you want. The basic idea here is to play with different tonal values to create a mysterious look in your painting. First go with a lighter tone, then you can go with a medium tone, and then maybe a darker tone. Now this area has dried. I'm going to go with my next tree using a similar tonal value. If your background has dried up, you can add them in an overlapping wave. Otherwise, give it a few minutes and let it dry. I'm just adding an irregular thick line. Add a tree in a similar way. Don't make it a straight line all the time. Some of the trees can be a straight line and try to give a different character to the other trees. That's my next tree. You don't need to create that foggy effect for all the trees. For this, I'm not picking up any paint, I'll add it be as it is. Now with the same tonal value, I'm going to add another tree over here. Add them in any direction. It's all your choice. We can also add some branches onto these trees. You don't need to add branches for the ones in the background. I mean, the lighter ones. You can add them only on the ones in the foreground. For example, this one here. I think before we jump onto the branches, we can add some more trees, and then we can add them in one go. I'm going to add the next tree over here. Or maybe here. There's a lot of space at the center. Take a look at your painting and wherever you feel like there's a lot of gap in your painting. Place the tree over there. There is nothing much to think. Just go for an irregular line and give it a thickness. See that? Now, in between these two, I think I can add another tree, maybe a thicker one. I'm picking more paint, the same tonal value, and I'm going to add a thicker bulky tree at the center. I'm starting with a straight line. Then I will add some thickness onto that. All right, so that my next tree. I feel like I should have added some more trees in the background. There isn't enough now, and some of them got half hidden when we added the trees in the foreground. In a way, let's focus on the rest. So I'm just adding some more thickness onto this tree. All right, so that's how it has turned out. Now, we'll have to wait for these to dry. I mean, the trees. In the meantime, we can add some texture in the background. For that, we are going with paints gray again because that's the only color we are using and I don't know why I washed my brush. Now mind I'm picking some more paint on my brush, and then dabbing my brush on a paper towel. I want a paint that is dry. Now, let's add some dry textures in the background. Only on the top, where we have the foliage. Pick some paint on a brush, a medium tone of paints gray. Then die a brush on a paper towel, make your paint slightly dry and then keep on creating some dry textures in the background. We don't need a lot, we only need them on the top. Be careful, those trees are still wet. If you run your brush on top of those trees, you might smudge the paint. Be a little careful. I will add a few towards the bottom as well. Okay. Now, we can add a little towards the left side. This side is pretty empty. So I'm just scrubbing and adding some tried textures in the background. It is nothing much. And we're adding them only on the top, where we have that medium tone in the background. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. I think it is looking quite nice. The trees are still wet, so we'll have to take a break and we'll start again when it has dried completely. Okay, here we are, that has dried completely, and now we can go with the next step. Forward, we are using paints gray again, a slightly darker tone, and I'm using a size number six rush. Now, our task is to add some lines onto these trays, some irregular line. They can be long, they can be short, they can be straight, they can be super random. Just keep on adding some lines onto these trays we have in the foreground. I the ones where we have used medium tone. Go with a darker tone of paints gray and use any of your smaller brush or a brush with a good tip, and then simply add some lines onto the tree to give it some texture. It is just super random lines. Add them as if your hand is shivering. That's the first tree. You can see how beautiful it is looking with those texture. It's a very simple trick, but it will make your tree look more natural. If you don't add these lines, the trees will be very empty and boring. Now let's go with the other tree. Just keep on adding some lines onto the tree. Give it a try. It's a very satisfying task, and you will see how beautiful it is going to turn out. It is nothing but some lines. The best part is that you can add the lines, however you feel like. They just have to fall inside that tree. That's all. That's the only thing you have to keep in mind. Now in a similar way, let's add lines onto the other two trees as well. We have one over here, and there is one more towards the right side. Now, I'm thinking of adding one more tree towards the left side. Before I go the tree, I will add some right texture here. And then I will add the tree. Take a look at your painting, and if you feel there is some extra space in between, you can add a tree or two. And if it's completely packed and there is no space in between, you don't need to add any extra tree. All right, so I'm going back with that medium tone of paints gray, and I'm going to add a tree over here. This one is completely optional. Only if you feel there is some gaps in between, you can add one more tree. Instead of medium tone, I used a darker tone so that I don't need to add any lines onto it. Okay, that's our final tree. Now we have one last task left, which is adding the branches, for that as well, I'm missing a tacton of paints gray. I'll start with the tree itself. Add the branches, however you feel like you can add as many as you want to. This will obviously add a lot of character to your painting. Don't skip adding the branches. It is really important. These branches will make your painting look more complete and more polished. Go with a smaller brush and add in the branches, wherever you feel like. Next, I'm adding one here. Go with an irregular line and make it look more natural. The next one I will add over here. At the beginning, I wasn't really happy with this painting. I really wasn't sure whether I should continue or stop it. But now I'm really loving it. I'm glad I continued, I didn't give up. I really like that foliage on the top, those textures we have created. Now over here, I'm just adding a broken branch, just like that. Okay. I really feel these branches and those texture on the tree made a lot of difference to the painting. I think that is the beauty of monochrome paintings. Only at the end, you get to see the magic, because in the beginning, it will be just some lighter tones. In most of the cases, there won't be anything fascinating or exciting. You have to wait till the end to see the magic. Anyways, I'm nearly done adding the branches. If you feel there is more empty spaces, you can continue adding the branches. Here's mine, and I think it is in a good stage. I don't need to add any extra branches. All right, so it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here is the finished painting. I absolutely enjoyed the process. I hope you all did it too. It's a really beautiful painting. So if you are yet to try it, you know what to do, grab some paint scray and give it a try right away. 12. DAY 8 - Waterfall: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day eight of painting mini watercolor landscapes. Today, we're painting a beautiful waterfall. There is no complicated techniques. It's a quick one. I'll start with the colors. The first color you will need is Coval green. That is the base color I will use to paint the water. The Coval green I'm using here is from Shin hun. Coval green is a beautiful color, especially to paint tropical beaches and turquoise waters. That's our first color. Now to add some details and some texture onto the background, I will be using two colors. One is turquoise blue. This one is from white ninth. Now along with Turquoise blue. I will also add some sap green along with that, to create a turquoise green, and I will use that color aspll to add the texture. I will show you how to create that color as we paint. We will need Coval green and turquoise blue. Now let's have a look at the colors you will need for the rocky background. I will be using two greens and paints gray. You will need a lighter green, also sap green. This one is cadmium green light. You can go with any lighter green you have got. Or you can just make some lemon yellow with sap creen and create a lighter green. This is the one. It is called cadmium green light. The next color you will lead is sap cream, which is one of the major color you will lead for the background. We won't be using a lot of light green. The major color is sap cream. We will use light creen mostly to add some textos and highlights. That's all. We have a light green and sap cream. Now to add the Daco tunes, you will need paints gray, which is our final color. It's a very quick artwork. You will only need less than 20 minutes to finish this painting. I think it is really beautiful, especially the colors. It is really giving you that holiday vibe. That summarize all the colors you will need. Here is a closer look. As I mentioned Doli we'll start with Coval green. Then to add the textures, we will use turquoise blue and Sap cream. Then to paint the background, we will use sap green and paints gray mostly to add some textures, we will also use some light green. That summarize all the colors you will need. Keep them ready and let's give it a try. The first step is to add a line. The top part is going to be the rock and the bottom is going to be the water. Now, right at the center, I'm going to add two lines to indicate the waterfall. I'm placing that at the center. You can place it towards the right or the left. It's your choice. Just add two lines for us to know where the waterfall is happening. That's it. The rest of the details we can add as we're painting. Now, first, we're going to start with the water and for that tv pre colors, Coalcreen turquoise blue and sap cream. We cobalcreen for the base layer, then we have turquoise blue and sap creen to add the textures. Keep them ready if you don't have it ready yet. Once you have it ready, start by applying a cot of water onto the entire bottom part. Just to apply a nice gentle coat of water. Don't add a lot. Now you see my size number eight trash, I'm going to apply cabal cream onto the entire area. Just apply and even wash of this color onto the entire background. Okay. It's a beautiful color. Looks like there is something on the paper. I'm trying to cover that up. I need to add some more pain there, let's see. Okay, so it's covered. Maybe there was some oil or something on the paper. I'm not sure. Anyway, that is coal creen. I have applied a medium ton of cobalcreeno the entire background. Now, we can start adding the textures. Now I'm going to clean my brush. I'm going to pick some turquoise blue. Okay. Go with a medium tone, then add some sap cream with that. See that? That's the color I was talking about. Just mix some sapreen with turquoise blue, and you will get a beautiful color, which is more like Peacock, blue, Pacock cream. Now, I'm going to apply some lines onto the wet background using that color. I'm starting from the top, and I'm adding some lines on either side. Just some random lines. Okay. If you want to modify the color and add some more green or Cirquise blue, you could do that. Now don't add a lot of lines onto the water. The major color has to be bal cream. Now I'm cleaning my brush, and with a clean damp brush, I'm just smudging the lines to give it a softer look. Quickly, smudge it so that they won't look too rough. Also, when you're smudging the paint, don't put a lot of pressure, be very gentle. Now we can add some more texture. I'm adding some more green. You see that color, I will add a few more lines in between. You can add these patterns and lines, however you want to. Just focus on the color and don't add a lot. The major color has to be coal green. Now I'm taking a bit more taco to I'm adding a few more lines on either side to show the shadows. I think this is looking good enough. I don't want to add a lot and cover up that coal cream. It is looking really nice. With a clean brush, I'm smudging it. I'm really loving the color and the texture. I don't want to overdo it. I'm really loving the colors and the texture. It's a beautiful color coination we started off with coal cream. Then using turquoise blue and a mix of turquoise blue and green. We added some lines and then we smudged it. When you're smudging, you can also use some cobalcream if that helps. Sometimes the background might be a little dry. In that case, you can pick a little of cobalcream on your brush and then smug it. That's how it has turned out. That's the leak. Now we'll have to wait for this to try and after that, we can start with the top. Right now, let's take a short break and let's leave it for drying. That is right completely. Next, we can start with the rocky background, and for that, you will need two colors, sap green and paints gray. Keep these two colors ready on your palette, and then apply a code of water onto the background. When you're adding the water, be careful, don't add any water onto the lake. We just need a nice gentle, don't add a lot of water. Maybe you can leave a cap in between. Okay, so that is entirely wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go back with my size number eight on brush. I'm starting off with paints gray. We can go to the medium tone first. Then gradually we can make it more darker. Okay. Now, I'm going to simply drop that paint onto the background in a very random way. See that. There's no particular order or anything. Simply drop in that paint. Closer to the waterfall, you can simply add some lines. You can limit adding paint over there. This way, we can make use of the paper white. But if you accidentally add some paint over there, that's totally fine. Anyway, we're going to use some white quash over here. Now I'm picking a taco I will add that along the bottom. See that. It's a much more taker to. Now, I'm going to drag that towards the top. From that bottom line with your brush, drag it towards the top. We have a taco tone at the bottom, and we're dragging that towards the top. We could do the same thing on the other side, pick some paints gray, add the line and define that rocky mountain. Now just drag your brush towards the top and spread it into the background. I'm trying to save the waterfall. Let's see how much paper white we can save. Now I will add some paint on the top. See that? You can carelessly add some paint here and there. It doesn't matter. It is eventually going to look really beautiful. Our idea is to create some texture in the background. However, you add the paint, it will look really beautiful. Don't worry about the messy stages in between. You keep on adding the paint. I think I have added enough. Next, I'm going to clean my brush and I'm going to pick some sap cream. Now onto those in between spaces, all those paper white we have here, I'm going to add some sap cream. It can be a medium tone. Simply add that paint. See that? You can see how beautiful it is turning out. Now let's add that on the other side as well. The colors are spreading into each other as the background is wet and they're creating a beautiful texture by its own, and that is exactly what we need here. Use some brighter tunes. Otherwise, when they try up, they will look really faded. That is a first step. Now, if you want to make it more intense, you can keep on dropping more paint. I'm going to pick some more darker tone of paints gray. Then I will add that at the bottom again. Then maybe we can come back with some sap cream as f and then add that in between. Basically, the idea is to create some texture here. You can keep on switching from paints gray to sap cream and then add it however you like. There's no particular order or method here. As I said earlier, we just need some texture in the background. However, you feel like, drop your paint. I'm adding some more paints gray. To create more rocky texture on the corners, I'm using a taco tone, then I'm simply adding some paint in between as well. That's how it has turned out. I think it is really beautiful. The textures are amazing. I'm going to add some more. I have some paints gray on my brush. If it's too watery, dab it on a paper towel, and then keep on adding some more texture. At any point, you're happy with the colors and the result. You can call it done, or you can simply add some more lines and texture onto the background. The background is starting to dry, so we need to be real quick. I'm just adding a few lines in between to give it an impression of the rock. See that? Similarly, I will add a few lines on the other side as well. The left side is more brighter. I think I haven't added much greener on the right side, but it has its own beauty, so I have no complaints. Now I'm going to pick some more paint, and I will add that next to the waterfall on either side. This way, we can create a beautiful contrast between the white and the darker tones. Now, just in case if you couldn't retain any of the paper white at the center where you have the waterfall, there is nothing to worry. We'll be coming back with a white gas or white watercolor to add the texture. Don't worry at all. If you don't have any white space in between. If you have it well and good, but if you don't have it, that's totally fine too. Now, I'm picking a little of sap green, and I'm adding that onto the right side. I feel like the color is dull at some places. Wherever I feel it is dull, I'm introducing some green or some paints gray. That's how it has turned out. If you want to add some more taco tones in between, you could do that. Because with watercolors when it dries, it tends to fade. It's good to go with a taco tone, especially when you want to create those taco textures and patterns. My background is starting to dry. I don't want to add more patterns and mess it up. I'm going to call it done. Now, before I try out completely, I'm going to add a few textures in between, using a light cream. I already have some paint on my palette. I'm going to pick a little. It can be a bit of water. It doesn't need to be an opaque paint. If it's too watery dab it on a paper towel. Now, I'm going to add a few patterns in between. See that? Over here, the pain is still wet. I'm just adding a few random shapes and lines onto the background. To introduce some more texture. You can do this on a completely dry background as well. It will still be really beautiful. I'm just adding a few here. Over there, the pain has completely dried, but never mind. We can go the wet press and smudge it. Okay. I'm just adding them on the top in a very random way. I'm not adding a lot. We can add a few along the bottom part where we have black in the background. It will look like those wet mass. This side is nearly done. Now we can add a few patterns on the other side as well. I think you can clearly see the difference. The left side has more live, and the right side is looking quite plain and empty. Go back with some green paint and add some texture. On this side as, some places are still a bit wet. The rest has completely dried up, but that's okay. You can still add your patterns. It will be a beautiful combination of dry textures and wet textures. I think it will add a lot of beauty to your background. It will look more natural and realistic. Just go ahead and add some highlights and textures in between. Okay, so that part is done. Now the next step is to add the waterfall and with that, we'll be done with our painting. To add the waterfall, you will need some opaque white paint. It can be the white quash or white ticar. I'm going to squeeze out some white tcular onto my palette. Just a little. We don't need a lot. We have already spotted the location for the waterfall. Now, I'm going to clean my brush properly, and I'm picking some white guash. See that? I'm not adding a lot of water. I want an opaque paint. There is some paper white in the background, but it is very messy. On the same place, I'm adding some white guage. It's a dry paint. I'm not adding much water. When you use a dry paint because of those grainy texture, it will look like the water splashing. To create that texture, go with a pain which is not too watery. Now you can add a few lines onto either side. It looks like it doesn't write completely. I think it's a good idea to take a short break. It's time for a break. Let's all come back when it has writ completely. Now it has dried completely. I'm picking some white quash again. Then with that dry paint, I'm adding some lines over here. It's more like a broken line. It doesn't need to be a thick continuous line. It can have that dry texture and add that in a broken way. Now I need to continue the line on the top. Over here, I'm making it a bit narrow and towards the bottom, it's a little more wider. Just go the same paint. Don't add a lot of water. To create the texture, we need a dry paint. Now in a similar way, I'm adding a line on the other side asper. Now when you're adding this line, it can be a little away from the waterfall so that we can see the rocky background in between. That's how it has turned out. Now I need to fix the bottom part. It looks quite messy. I'm going to add more paint at the bottom. Pick up some nice white paint without adding much water and add that at the bottom. You can simply dab and apply the paint over here. We need a opaque bright paint here to create that forming character. Keep on adding the paint. Now if you want to add some more paint on the top, you could do that as well. Take a look at your painting, and if you fail, there is some paint missing anywhere, just add that in. To me, I think there is some paint missing on the top. I'm adding that again. Then I'll have to add some more paint at the bottom. We're nearly done with our painting. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. It is only a matter of adding that white textary paint onto the background to create the waterfall. Now, there is one more task we need to do before we wrap it up with just adding some more paint on either side and extending that outwards. See that. Just add a line underneath that rocky background. It can be a broken line and go with a very little amount of paint. See that? The line doesn't have to be too prominent. Add that in a broken way and go with a dry paint. Do that only once. Don't go over it again and again. Closer to the waterfall, that line can be a bit more thicker and towards either end, make it really thin. That's how our painting has turned out. If you want to add some more white paint or texture, you could do that right now. I'm actually very happy with the way it has turned out, but I think I can add some more paint right where we have the waterfall. I'm picking a bit more white paint, and I will add some lines here, right where we have the waterfall. Okay. Add extra white paint only at the center where we have the waterfall. Let the other areas stay actous. We don't need a lot of paint on either end. I think I will add one more line on either side. There is some leftover paint on my brush. With that dry paint. I'm adding a line on either side. How a look at your painting? If you feel you need to add some more white paint, you could do that. Right now, our paper is really small, one waterfall is enough. If you're trying out the same painting on a bigger scale, maybe you can introduce one more waterfall towards right or the left. Anyway, I'm super happy with the way it has turned out. I hope you guys love it too. Now let's peel off the masking tape. All right, so here is our lovely waterfall and turquoise waters. It's a simple, get a beautiful painting. We finished this one in less than 20 minutes. So if you haven't tried it yet, do give it a try and let me know if you like it. 13. DAY 9 - Purple Evening: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day nine of painting mini vertical landscapes. Our painting for the day is a simple yet beautiful foggy evening. You will only need a few colors for this painting, and also you can finish this in less than 20 minutes. Anyway, let's start by looking at the colors you will need. The first color I'm going to swatch out is violet. This one is permanent violet from S. You can go with any violet you have, or can mix and create your own violet. That's the first color. Now, the second color you will need is pink. This one is a nice basal pink. If you don't have pink, you can add some white to water color with any of the red pigment. It can be crimson or permanent rose or any other color. Those are the two colors I'll be using for the sky, permanent violet and brilliant pink. Next, you will need two more colors, which is indico and paints gray. We'll be using these two colors to paint the meadow and also to add the final details. First, I will start with Itco The indico I'm using here, it's from art philosophy. It's a beautiful bluish intco. If you're using indigo from another brand, it might look a little different, and that is totally fine. Now, the final color we have is paints gray. I will use this color to add some dakotons at the bottom, and also to add those details. I mean, the fu ground elements. That's some rise all the colors you will need for today's painting. Here's a closer look of the swatches. We need violet, a Pasal pink, indigo, and paints gray. Okay, so grab all the colors, squeeze them onto a palette, and keep them ready. All right, my paper is ready here. Now, before we start, we have to make sure we have all the colors ready. For the sky, I'm going to use violet and pink. Then along with that, you will also need some indico and paints gray to paint the meadow. Make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. When you have them, start by applying a coat of water, using any of your white brush. Apply a nice general coat of water on to the entire background. Don't add pools of water. We only need a shiny coat. Okay, so the background is evenly wet. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure aside. I'm going to go with my flat rush. This one is one half inch flat rush. The first color I'm going to use is let. I will start with a medium tone, and I'll apply that on the top of the sky. Then as I'm coming down, I will switch to pink. That's a tonal value, I'm using. Now with a flat brush or a round brush. Apply that on the top part of the sky. Go with the similar tonal value. Otherwise, when the background dries up, the colors will look really dull. Apply violet on the top part. Now, clean your brush and go the second color, which is pink. I'm picking pink and I'm adding that from the horizon line. Then I will go towards the top, Blending violet and pink together. Okay. So we have a nice bright pink at the bottom. Now towards the center, we are blending the colors. Okay, so that's a base layer. We have violet on the top and pink at the bottom. Now, I'm going to clean my brush and I will pick some more pink. I want the bottom part to be a bit more brighter. I'm adding some more pink. I think it looks better now. Now into the same background, before it dries, we need to add some clouds. I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm switching to a Rmrush This one is size number six. To add the clouds, I'm picking some violet. Go the paint which is not too watery. If it's watery, dab it on a paper towel. Before you start adding the clouds. No, I'm just going to add some lines onto the sky to create the clouds. I won't be adding a lot. I just need some linear clouds over here. That's all. I don't want to make the sky look too dramatic. I will just add one big cloud over here. That's all. If you want to add more cloud, you could do that. It's not a problem. It's totally your choice. Okay. Maybe I will make it a bit more darker. Whenever you're adding the clouds, always go the paint, which is not too watery. If it's do watery, by the time you add the paint onto the background, it will spread a lot and it will become really difficult to control the weight of spreading. It's always a good practice to check the water content of the paint. If it's do watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. We can add one tiny cloud here. Okay, that's my sky. There's some water blooms on the top. I will add some paint there, and then I will start with the meadow. That's my sky. Now, let's start with the meadow right away. First, I'm going to mix some indico and violet together to create a darker violet. Now using this color, I'm going to add some landscape in the background. We need a dark of violet and now simply add some shapes over here on that wet background. Okay. See that? Now, continue that till the other end. Now, just like I said earlier, if you feel your pain is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Otherwise, they will spread a lot. Looks like mine is really watery, so I'm dabbing it on a paper towel, and I'm continuing with the same exercise. Just have some lines using the tip of your brush, and then towards the bottom, just spread it out. Now, clean the brush and with some water, make it lighter. We have a nice sky and some trees in the background. Now we are making it lighter towards the bottom to create a foggy effect. Looks like my paint was really watery. I couldn't retain a lot of pink sky. Anyway, that's how it has turned out. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm switching to a bigger one. This one is size number eight, and I'm picking some into I'm going to add that onto the entire bottom part. Go the similar tonal value and close to the horizon, leave a gap. See that? We have some white space in between where that background trees and the meadow is meeting. Now towards the bottomost area, you can make the color more darker. Only along the horizon, we need to leave a gap. Then for the rest of the area, you can use a darker tone. Now towards the bottom most area, introducing some paint screen to make it even more darker. Along the top, we have a medium to and towards the bottom, we have made it really dark. The base layer is ready. Now, I'm going to go back with my smaller brush. First, I will fix this part. Still there is some paint missing. I'm not sure if I'll be able to fix it. Anyway, I'm dropping in some paint. This happens when the water from the masking tape flows back into the painting. Usually, I used to wipe it off, but today, I forgot. Anyway, next I'm picking some taco ton a violet, I'm adding some trees on the top. Here, the shape is not really visible. I'm adding that again. Tick it a proper sheap. Now the background is starting to dry, so the paint won't float a lot. This way, we can retain a nice sheap add that again. Using the same color you prepared earlier. Over here, we can add a bigger tree because it has spread a lot. This way, we can cover therapaswll. Those are the trees in the background. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to add some textures towards the bottom. Right now, we have just added intc and paint screen. Let's go ahead and add some grassy pattern at the bottom to create some texture. With the same brush, I'm picking some paint scree I'm simply adding some lines at the bottom. The background is still wet. The lines you're adding right now wouldn't have a proper shape, that's totally okay. Our intention is to create some texture here. It doesn't need to look like a grassy pattern or anything. Simply keep on dragging a brush towards the top and add some lines like this. I think I will go with a smaller brush. This one was size number six. I will switch to my size number two rush. I've taken some more paints gray, and I'm adding those lines again. The only thing you have to be careful about is to retain that line in the background. Don't add any lines or any extra paint over there. Let it stay as it is to create a foggy effect, that line is really important. That's how it has turned out. Now let's leave it for drying. That is dried completely, and the colors are looking a little dull than earlier, but that is something with verticular which you cannot help. Anyway, let's go back with paint screen, and I'm using the same brush. This is size number two. Now we're going to add plenty of grassy pattern onto this background again. Earlier, it was wet. Now we're adding them on a dried background. This is the only task left and we have to add a lot of them to create a dense and thick meadow. Go to any of your smaller brush or any brush with a pointed tip, and then keep on adding these free hand lines to create that lush meadow. They can be long, curvy, pointy, add them, however you want, add them close to each other and make it look really dense and thick. Okay. Start from the bottom and then simply track your brush towards the top and create something delicate lines. I don't know, for some reason, I always start from the right. I think it's sensible to start from the left and come towards the right. In a way, we have to add a lot of them. We still have half of the area left. I will focus here rather than how my brain is thinking. Half is done. Now I'm going to continue adding the same patterns on the left side. Now, let me tell you these patterns, they don't need to be super perfect. Simply keep on adding them, add as many as you can. That is what matters. We need to create a dense and thick texture here. That's all. Don't focus on each and every line. You can add them in a messy way. That's not a problem. If you can try to go with a smaller brush or a detailing brush to get those lines thin and delicate. That is the only thing I want to recommend. Rest is totally up to you. You can add them however you want. Focus more along the bottom side and make it really dark at the bottom. I'm nearly done. I have added plenty of lines, but I think the bottom part can be much more better. I'm picking more paint, and I'm adding more lines only at the bottom. I want this area to be really dark. That's how it has turned out. Now, the same paint and the same brush, I'm going to add a few longer lines. Add them wherever you feel like. You can extend some of the lines into the sky. See that. Add them wherever you feel like and add them in any height. Don't make all of them look the same. Few of them can be long and few of them can be shot, add them in a very random way. Okay. Once we're done adding these lines, we need to introduce a detail onto the top. Let's quickly add these lines. The line I added right now is a taller one. Go in a similar pattern, make some of them really tall, some of them can be shorter. This way, your painting will look more interesting. Now, I'm going to add a few more on the other side, once we are done with that, we can introduce the final detail. I've added a few longer lines. Now onto the tip, I'm going to add a tiny detail. It's more like a grain onto either side of that line. I'm adding a small detail like a grain. Use any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. Now, simply add some tiny shapes on either side of that line. Only on the tip, here's a closer look. It can be like a tiny leaf. See that? Now, let's add similar detail onto this one. That's how you have to add that detail. In between, you can add some leaves as well. So long pointed leaves. Okay. Now let's continue with the other ones. We have a few more lines on the left side. Now onto the tip, I'm going to add that detail. You can call it a grain or a flower or a leaf. It's a quick and simple detail. You don't need to think much. Just add those tiny shapes onto either side and fill up the tip. It doesn't need to be perfect. At some places, you can leave some extra spacing to make it look more natural. Now I'm going to add a similar detail onto this one here. Okay, so go ahead and wherever you want to add that detail, add them in and finish off your painting. Oh. In between, I have added another line. Now onto the tip. I'm going to introduce that detail, along with that, I will add a few leaves as well. Some nice curvy leaves. Now, take a look at your painting. Wherever you feel, there is some extra gaps in between. You can introduce another line and add that grain on the top, maybe you can just add some leaves or some grassy pattern, whatever you like. Take a look at your painting. And if you feel, you need to fill in those gaps, introduce some more details. Okay, so that's a last task. With that, we'll be done with this painting. To me, I feel the left side is quite empty. So I'm going to add some more lines over there. Okay. Okay, so that's it. With that, we're done with our painting for the day. It's a simple, yet a beautiful sunset. I hope you all enjoyed it. To enhance it even more, maybe you can add some birds on the sky. I'm not going for any extra detail. Now, I'm going to pick up the masking tape. All right, so here is our mini aticor landscape for the T. I hope you all loved it. It's a quick painting. If you get to try, do give it a try. And let me know if you liked it. 14. DAY 10 - Misty Forest: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day ten. Our painting for the day is a gorgeous forest scene. The process for this painting is really quick and very much exciting. We are going to paint the entire background in one go. We will start with the top, then we will come to the meadow. Then later we will add these trees onto the background. Even though it is small, it's a painting where you will learn a lot of techniques. Anyways, let me quickly explain the colors you will need. Then we can start with the process. The very first color you will need is into. We will use different tonal values of intco for the background. The indico I'm using here is from art philosophy. You can go with any indigo you have caught. This one is a bluish indigo. That is the first color. You can see different tonal values of indico here. Now, the second color you will need a sap cream. I won't be using sap cream acids. I want some dull grains for the metal to create that, I will be mixing some yellow ocher with sap cream. Let me show you how to create that. I'm taking some yellow ocher. And with the same brush, I'm picking some sap cream. Now I will mix them together. See that? That's the color I'll be using for the greenery. It is a simple mix of yellow ocher and sap cream. Now let me swat it out. There is a very similar color available with Daniel Smith. It's called green cold. If you have that color with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create. That's a first green. Now, you will need one more green, which has to be a bit more darker. To create that green. Instead of yellow ocher, I will be mixing some burn sa with sap cream. Pick some sap cream first. Then add some burn cena into that color. This mix will give you a color which is more like olive green. I have mix some burn cena with sap cream here's the color I've created. Just like I said earlier, if you have olive green with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create. Okay. Also one more thing, as we're mixing and creating these colors, the color may vary a little according to the amount of green and burn cena you're adding. That is totally fine. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. Those are the two grains we'll be using. It's a mix of yellow ocher and screen. The second one is a mix of sapcreen and burn cena. Now, there's one more color you will need, which is paints gray to paint the tree and to add those branches, we will need paints gray. And that is the final color. It's a quick process and you don't need a lot of colors. It's a beautiful painting, and I'm really excited to show you the process. Here is a closer look of all the colors. Over here, I have shown the color mixes, but you will lay intego, yellow ocher, sap green, burn Cena and paints gray. Keep all the colors ready, and let's give it a try. So let's start. We're going to paint the entire background in one go, as I mentioned earlier. Before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. I'm hoping you all have them ready. Now, I'm starting by adding a line a little below the center of the paper. Go the really light pencil line. Don't make it too dark. Now this is where we're going to add our main tree. We only have one full ground tree. The rest is all in the background, and this is where I'm going to place it. You can add a rough sketch now. It doesn't need to be a well detailed one. We can add all the branches and everything as we paint. For now, just indicate the location. That's a sketch. Now we can get into the process. I'm starting by applying a coat of water using my 1 " wash brush, apply a nice general coat of water, don't add a lot and also run your brush multiple times and make sure it's an even coat. Okay. Now, to apply the paint onto the background, I'm picking a size number eight rush and I'm starting off with a medium tone of intc. I'm applying that on the top. Say that. Start with the medium tone, then make it lighter towards the horizon line. There is something wrong with the paper. See that. Something is coming off. Anyway, that's the sky. Now I'll pick a bit more intc and I'll add that at the bottom. We have a medium tone on the top, a lighter tone at the center. Then again, a little medium tone at the bottom. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some sap cream and I will mix that with into. I'm dropping that onto the top of the paper. This is to create some texture in the background to make it look like the foliage of the trees. Simply drop in that paint. It doesn't need to have any particular shape or pattern. Just keep on adding it. You can use a dacone on the top, and then a medium tone towards the bottom. I will add a bit more. I'm just adding some dots and some small shapes onto the bed background to create that texture. I'm not thinking a lot. I'm adding that in before the background dries up. That's all. Okay. Next, I'm picking a lighter tone. Then I'm going to add a few more patterns over here. On the top, we have a darker tone or a medium tone, then towards the bottom. I'm continuing that pattern with a lighter tone. That's a background. Next, we can go with the meadow. For that, I'm going to mix some yellow ocher with sap cream. I don't want to use that fresh green. That's why I'm adding some yellow ocher over sap cream. That's a color I've created. Now I'm applying that onto the background. Maybe we can add some more yellow ocher. This color is more like an olive green. If you prefer using a bright fresh green, instead of yellow ocher, you can add some lemon yellow or any other yellow with green. Now towards the bottom, I want to make the color more darker. I'm picking some more sap cream. Then I will mix that with burn cena. There is a color called green cold, which is more like the color I use right now. If you have a similar color, you can use it directly. You don't need to make sap green and yellow ochre. Anyway, to create the next color, I'm adding some burn cena with sap cream. This will give us a much more darker olive green. I'm going to add that color at the bottom. See that? Simply dropping that paint onto the wet background. We need a lighter tone on the top, and a darker tone at the bottom. Depending on the amount of brown you're adding, the color will look slightly different, which is totally okay. It is not going to affect your painting. Now I simply drop in that paint, add some lines and some shapes onto the background to make it even more darker, add some paints gray, and repeat the same step with that color. I'm adding some here. This is where we have the tree. Now, I will add a few towards the bottom as well. It is just some random shapes and lines. When it dries, it will leave a beautiful texture. Add in some darker tunes at the bottom. Also where you are placing the tree. I think I have added enough. Maybe I can add a few more small shapes and dots. Okay, that's how the background has turned out. I'm really happy with the way it is looking. Now, before it dries, maybe we can make use of the time, and we can add some more textures using a smaller brush. I'm going to go with a size number six round brush, picking some paint screen and adding that at the bottom. I'm adding a few grassy lines right where we have these taker toons. They are not well detailed and properly shaped. Just add a few like that to create some more texture. We could add a bit more right where we have the tree. I want this area to be darker. When we have a darker tone over here, we can skip adding a lot of details onto the tree, especially the roads, and that is the reason why I'm very particular about adding some taker toes over here. Anyway, that's how it has turned out. I feel like adding some more taker toes on the top looks like my background is still wet. I'm going back with a mix of indico and sub cream, I will add a few more patterns here using a taco tone. This one is completely optional. Only if your background is still wet, add a few patterns, otherwise, leave it the way it is. I'm focusing only on the top line, which is closer to the masking tape. The rest, I will leave acts. That's it. I don't want to overdo and row in it. Initially, I had a different plan for this painting. But when I did a trial, it came out really beautiful. It's just a matter of adding those paint onto the wet background. Next, we will add some tree sand elements in the foreground when this has dried. Let's take a short break and come back when the background has dried completely. The background is ready. Now we're coming to the best part about this painting. With this adding the trees with those trees in the background, the entire painting is going to look so stunning. Are you ready? All right. Let's start. The first color I'm going to pick is indigo. I don't want the indigo to be too bluish, so I will add a little of paints gray along with that. Now let's add some more water because we have to start with a lighter to the paint is ready. Now, you would also need a paper towel or a facial tissue. I would recommend going with a facial tissue as it is much more softer. Okay. Now I'm picking the paint, and I'm going to add the first ray over here. That's a tonal value you have to CV. Now with a facial tissue, I'm just dabbing off bottom. See that. You can see how easily I created a foggy effect there. Now let's go with the second tree. I'm picking the same paint. It's a mix of indico and a bit of paints gray. The second tree, going for a different shape. Now going back with a paper towel. I'm gently dabbing it off at the bottom. Let's do that again. Okay. Be very gentle and dab it off. We can see the beautiful effect we have created here. In a similar way, we're going to do the same thing for all the other trees we're going to add. Next, I will add one over here. This one is a bit more darker than the other one. Now let's tap off some paint. See that. At some places, you can use a lighter tone. Then at some places you can go for a medium tone. But for all the trees you're adding, lift off some paint at the bottom, using a paper towel or a facial tissue. You have to do this right away after you have applied the paint. Otherwise, it won't come off. I've added four trees so far. We can add a lot more. Next one, I will add on the left over here. See that? Go for an irregular shape to make it look more natural. It can be slightly curvy or slanting or whichever shape you want to go with adder tree in that way, then dub it off using a paper towel and create that foggy effect. Now, let's add another one. Maybe let's go for a darker to. That's the next tree. It's slightly darker than the previous trees. Now towards the bottom, I will add some water and I will make it lighter. Then we can go the paper towel and lift off the paint, towards the top, we can continue the shape with a metium tone. That. This is another way. If you're using a darker tone, you can make it lighter using some water. Now in a similar way, let's add one more tree using that medium to. The color I'm using here is the same one. It's a mix of paints gray and indico. But this time, I haven't added much water. I'm about to reach the bottom, so I'm picking some water. With that, I'm making this part lighter now with a paper towel, I'm dabbing it off. Now, let's continue with a tree. We can add some more branches to make it look more interesting. Okay. That's a way how you create that fog effect. You can add in as many trees as you want, but repeat the same step. Wherever you want to create that fog effect, take a paper towel or a facial tissue and dab off some paint. That's how it has turned out. Now we have one fogrom tree. That's what I'm going to paint next. I'm going to go with the same mixer of paints gray and indico. This time, the color is a bit more darker. I haven't added any tree over here, so I don't need to wait for the background to try. If you have added any tree on the same area where you're going to add the fo ground tree, you will have to wait for your background to try. Towards the bottom, I have added an irregular line. And with the paper towel, I'm lifting off some paint. I have added the tree right where I have the darker tone in the background to hide the root and all the details. Now with the same color, I'm going to continue the tree. The brush I'm using here is size number six. Go with any of your medium size brush. Don't go for a larger brush. Now, let's add a beautiful tree. Go with an irregular shape to make it look more natural. We only have one tree in the foreground. Make it as beautiful as possible. Now I'm going to extend this branch towards the top. Okay. See that? The color is again a mix of indico and paints gray. We started off with a lighter tone. Then we used a medium tone. Right now, the color is a bit more darker than the previous colors we used. That's a basic shape of the tree. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick a darker tone of pins gray. Then I'm going to drop in some random shapes and dots onto the tree. While it is wet. See that? At some places, you can add a line. At some places, you can just add a dot or an irrecular shape. Now this will nicely spread into the background, creating a texture on the tree. If it's de water, dab it on a paper towel, and then add these lines and patterns. See that? Add in your tree and while the background is still wet, add in some lines or some shapes onto that background. It doesn't need to have any particular shape or size or anything. Simply add those shapes onto the wet layer. The bottom most area looks a little weird. I'm going to dab off some paint. When we did the base layer, we added some dakotuns over here. This was mainly to cover the root, so we don't need to add a lot of details here. I'm just adding some more paint, then I will dab it off with a paper towel to retain that foggy effect. That's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with it. The foreground tree is looking really beautiful. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some branches onto this. Now there are chances, your background is still wet, you'll have to wait for some time before you add the branches. Otherwise, they may spread into each other and we'll create a mess. Mine has dried. I think I can proceed with the branches. The color I'm using here is paints gray, and this precious size number six. It has got a really nice pointed tip. I will add some taco toes first. Then from those taco toes I'm going to add some branches. Okay. I will start from here. Go with some nice long irregular branches. Add as many as you want. That's a long one. Now we can add some more branches. Add them in any direction is totally your choice. You're ready to follow the exact same way how I'm adding it. Ignore that and add it as you'd like. Now we'll add a few on the top. We could add one here. Okay. Now let's add another one over here. To make your painting look really interesting, add the branches in different directions and shapes. Next, I'm adding one here. This can be a broken branch. I'm not going to show it entirely. Now I'm going to go ahead and add a few more branches. You can add them wherever you like and however you like. All right. So with that, we're done with our painting. I really liked the color palette and the mood of this painting. The te process was really quick, and I hope you all enjoyed it too. Anyway, now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here's our car media landscape for the day. Look at those details and the texture. Beautiful right. If you are here to try it, you know what to do, give it a try, and I'll let you know if you liked it. All right. So thank you so much for joining, and I will be back here soon with our next mini landscape. 15. DAY 11 - Hillside Cabin: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 11. Today, we're going to paint a hillside cabin. It's a cute little green landscape. I love this painting, and it is one of my favorite from the te collection. Anyway, as usual, let's start by looking at the colors we will need. For the sky, I will be using cerlian blue. I'll use a really light tone of cerlian blue. You can go with any blue you have caught. You can barely see any color on the sky. Go with a similar tonal value. It can be Kobal blue, Prussian blue, turquoise blue, or any blue of your choice. That's the first color. Next, I'll talk about the greens. For this painting, you will need three different types of greens, a lighter green, a medium green, and a darker cream. The light green is made by mixing sap cream and lemon yellow. If you have a similar color, you can use it directly or simply mix some lemon yellow with sap cream to create a lighter green. Now the second color you will need is obviously scream. That is our medium green. All the colors I have swashed out so far, cellin blue, lemon yellow, and sap cream. Those three are from Shinhan. You can go with any brand. It doesn't matter. Now, to make the green darker, I will be adding some paints gray with sap cream. That is our next color. For the middle, mostly we will use light green and sap cream. Only towards the bottom over here, we will introduce some darker green. That's going to be a mix of paints gray and sap green. Now, there are two more colors you will need. One adico For the mountain, we will go with a combination of indico, sap cream and paint scream. On the top, we have Itco and towards the bottom, I have used more of Daco cream. Indigo is our next color. You can actually use a lighter tone of indico for the sky. You don't need to squeeze out a new blue. I had some leftover paint on my palette. I don't really realize using Indico for the sky, but that is one option. Now, there is one more color you will need. Over is brown, and that is for the cabin. The one I'm using here is permanent brown from art philosophy. You can use brown or burn sana, or even crimson or any darker orange. Compared to the other paintings we have done so far. I think today we have some more extra colors, but the painting is not that complex. It's a simple one and a beautiful. Here is the colors you will need for today's hillside cabin. Here's a closer look. You will need Colan blue, lemon yellow, sapuen, paints gray, indigo, and brown. Keep all the colors ready on your palette, and let's give it a try. Let's start by adding the sketch. We need to add a mountain and also a cabin far away. First, I will add an irregular line showing the meadow part. It can be a simple irregular line, sloping to one side. Add it almost at the center. Now, let's add the cabin. I'm adding that right at the center. Start with the roof. I'm adding a very simple cabin. If you want to add some more details, you could do that. This one is a super simple cabin. Now I'm going to add the roof here. Okay. I'm changing the shape a little. Now I will add the remaining lines and I will finish it off. Be a little mindful about the size. Don't make it two pi. Go with a similar size or make it even smaller. Otherwise, you won't get that sense of distance in your painting. That's the only thing you have to be careful about. Other than that, it's a very simple shape. Now let's add the doors and the window openings, one there. Now we can add one or two doors. The cabin is ready. Now we need to add the mountain. I'm going for a huge mountain and I'm adding that over here. That's the highest point. Now, I'm bringing that down. You don't need to finish off the shape towards the right side. We use a lighter tone, so we can just leave that line as it is. The remaining details we can add as we paint. That's a sketch. We have a mountain, a huge mountain, and a tiny cabin. Now let's start with the sky. First I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going to go with a really light tone of cerlian blue. You can use any blue of your choice, go with your brush or a flat brush, and pick a lighter tone on your brush. Okay. I don't have enough paint on my palette, but I think this would be enough. Now gently apply that onto the sky. When I'm applying the paint, I will leave a cap along the meadow line. I won't be touching that area. This way, we don't need to wait for the sky to dry. We can start with the meadow right away. I feel the color is not really visible. We'll have to add some more blue onto the top. Just a little. I'm adding that onto the top again. All right. That's a sky. We have a medium tone or a lighter tone on the top. Then towards the bottom, we have made it even more lighter. Now I'll let this dry. In the meantime, we can start with the meadow to paint the meadow, I will need some sap cream, as well as lemon yellow. Let me take out the colors. We'll have to turn our green into a lighter green. We will mix some lemon yellow with sap cream. If you have a lighter cream with you already, you can use it directly. I have sap cream, lemon yellow, and some pins gray on my palette. Those are the three colors you will need for the next step. Now using my fie number eight rush. I'm picking some lemon yellow. Now, along with that, I will add some sap cream to create a lighter green. That's a color I'll be starting with. Here's a closer look of the color I've created. It's a mix of sap green and lemon yellow. Now we'll apply this color on the top line of the meadow. Then gradually towards the bottom, we'll make the color more darker by adding sap green and paints gray. If you feel your color is not light enough, you can add some more lemon yellow, and then make it lighter. We need a fresh green. Now carefully add that along the top line. It's a beautiful light green, but there are similar colors readily available in the market. If you have any of them, just use it directly. I have a color called leaf green from Shen. That one is very similar to this. Anyway, that is the top part. Next, with the same rush, I'm going to pick some sap green, and I will add that at the bottom. Go the nice bright tone and apply that along the bottom part. On the top, we have a nice bright cream and towards the bottom, we're adding a medium cream. Now to make it even more attractive, we need to introduce more darker tones onto the background, especially at the bottom. But before adding those darker tones, I will add some lines onto the background, while it is still wet. You can use the same green you created earlier and simply add some lines onto the background. See that? Otherwise, your background will look plain and empty. This way, we're creating some texture and some life to the background. Okay. When you're painting a meadow or a simple greenery, it is very important to create those textures in the background. Otherwise, it will look plain and boring. Simply add some lines onto the background, while it is still wet. They can be some simple random lines. It doesn't need to have any particular size or thickness. Over here, I'm adding them in a sloping way and I have added them onto the wet background. This way, I can smudge it and I can give it a smooer look. Now it's time to introduce the dacotons I'm picking some paints gray and sap cream, I'm adding that mix at the bottom. Okay. See that along the top, we're going to retain those lighter tones, and only towards the bottom, we're going to introduce some taco toes to create a contrast. I'm happy with the taco toes. I don't want to introduce a lot. I will quickly Much these lines into the background to give it a softer and smooer look. That looks good to me. Now, there is one more task we have to do. I'm going to keep this pressure aside I'm going to go with a smaller brush. This one is size number two. Now with this brush, I'm going to add a few grassy patterns onto the background, while it is still wet. I've taken some sap cream. Now, I'm adding some teeny tiny lines onto the background. See that? Don't make it too big. We don't need those long curvey lines. We just need some teeny tiny lines today. Usually for all the other meadow, I think I have gone in with long curvey lines. But today, we don't need those long lines, make it as small as possible. Also, we don't need a lot of lines, we only need a little and be very careful about the tonal value, especially when you're adding them on the top, go with a lighter tone. I'm not going to add a lot towards the top. I will focus mostly at the bottom. Go the similar tonal value. When you're adding them on a lighter background, towards the bottom, the color can be a bit more darker. That's it. I'm not going to add any more towards the top. Now, I will add a few more towards the bottom. Then with that, we'll be done with a meto. This is just to add some texture and life to the background. Otherwise, it will look quite plain. Yeah, just add a few lines here and there, mostly at the bottom. When you add them on a wet background, they won't be too prominent. It will look really smooth and subtle. That's how it has turned out. Now the next step is to paint the mountains, but before that, we'll have to wait for this to writ completely. Okay, so the meadow has dried completely, and now we can start with the mountain. For the mountain, the first color you will need is tic. Then you will need some Sap cream. Those are the two colors you will need. First, take out these two colors onto your palette and keep them ready. Now, the brush I'm using here is size number eight. I'm starting by picking a medium tone off into. Now, let's add that on the top part of the mountain. That's the kind of tonal value I'm going with. It's not too dark. As we used lighter tunes for the sky, the sketch is still visible, so we can apply a medium tone of indico following that sketch. Start with a medium to. That seems a bit dark. Go the similar tonal value and apply that on the upper half of the mountain. Okay. Now towards the right, we can make the color slightly lighter. Pick some water, and then make the side lighter. We have a medium tone on the tip of the mountain and towards the right, it is slightly lighter. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some scream, and I will mix that with indigo. See that? That's a color I have created. It's a mix of sacrene and tic. Now, I'm adding that towards the bottom part of the mountain. Simply add that color on the remaining area. It doesn't need to be a clean blend or anything. We're trying to create some texture here, simply add that in. Now, just like we did earlier, towards the right, we are going to make the color lighter over here, use a lighter tone towards the right. Now carefully add that color around the cabin. Follow that outline and fill it up. The side is done. Similarly, we need to finish off the other side. Once you have apply the paint, keep smudging it into each other. See that? Now, I'm picking a slightly darker tone of indico and onto this wet background. I'm adding some lines. Introduce a few lines in between to create some kind of texture and shadows on the mountain. See that? Add that only on the top, towards the bottom, you don't need to add much. Now smudge it and blend that into the background. Now towards the bottomost area, I'm going to introduce much more darker tone, especially onto the left. See that? It's a mix of sapcreen and intco Now just add some lines and some shapes to make it look like there are some trees over there. For the top part of the mountain, we used a medium tone of indico. Then towards the center, we used a mix of sapcreen and intc. Now we're using the same color in a much more darker value. Now, let's carefully apply that around the cabin. I'm really loving the colors and textures. Let's quickly fill this part. And then maybe we can add some more trees on the other side as well. Otherwise, it will look like two different places. Let me finish this part. Then maybe using a lighter tone. We can add some trees on the other side as well. All right. I have added the deeper tones. Now I'm picking some water. Now, I will make it lighter and I will smudge it into the background, especially onto the right. See that? Over here, I'm using a medium tone. It's the same mix. I have to stdded some water. Okay. Let's add that towards the bottom most area. Picking some more water and I'm smudging it. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. You can simply smudge the colors. Otherwise, they will look like different patches. Go with the damp rush and smudge that into the background. Be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure. That's how it has turned out. There's a lot of gaps in between, I will fill it up. Now, I think we can add in some more trees. First, I will add a few on the right side. It is the same color mix of sap cream and Itkow I'm adding a few trees along the bottom. It is just some lines which are adding close to each other. Go the similar tonal value. When you're adding trees on the right side, don't make it too dark. Now, fill in that line. Now I will add a few behind the cabin over here, and then I will go the taco Now with the same press, I'm going to pick some taco tune. I will just pick Itko as it is. Then I will add few trees into the background. You simply need to add some lines onto that wet background to make it look like there are some trees over there. They don't need to be perfectly shaped, simply add them onto the wet background. That's how it has turned out. Now, I'm going to go with a smaller brush and I'm going to add few more trees using a taco tone of indico. Simply add some lines onto the background. See that? It doesn't need to be perfect. It is just some random lines, nothing much. We could add a few on the other side as well. And that's it. So that is our mountain and the trees in the background. Now, the only thing left is to paint the cabin. But before that, we'll have to wait for this to try. Now, let's go the last step. Which is cleaning the cabin. The first color I'm going to go with is brown. If you have brown, go with the medium tone of brown or can go with burn sina use a medium to first and apply that onto this side of the cabin. Go with the medium tone. It could be either brown or burn sa. You don't need to worry about those doors and windows. We will add them at the end. For now, simply add a solid wash of brown onto that entire wall. Next, we can add some deeper tones and shadows. For that, I'm going to pick a little of paints gray, and I will add that with brown to create a dakotne. It doesn't need to be too dark, add a tiny drop of paints gray. Now add that long roof line to show the shadows. Next, I'm creating a much more dakotne of brown by mixing some paints gray and brown together. I'm going to add that onto the other side. For me, the other side has almost dried up. I'm going to go right away. If your painting is still wet, maybe you can take a break and add the paint once it has dried completely. You said taco to and add some paint underneath the roof. Once you have added the taco brush and pick some brown. Go to the metimt again and add that onto the remaining area. We started off with a Daco to. Now we're making it lighter using some brown. Just like I said earlier, if you don't have brown, go with burn scena to create a dakot you can simply add some paint screen to it. Or if you have burnt umber, you can use it directly. Now the next task left is to paint the roof and also to add the windows and doors. But before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. Now, let's start with the roof. I'm use a lighter tone of paints gray. I'm adding some water and a tiny bit of paints gray. I'm creating a lighter to. Now, let's paint that entire roof and a lighter tone of pain gray. Go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too dark. Now fill in that entire roof. Now I'm picking some more paint a slightly darker and I will add that to the right side. Only on this side, I'm introducing some textures and shadows, using a slightly darker to. For now, I think that looks fine. Maybe we can add some more textures at the end. For now, I'm going to go back with pin screen, and I'm going to add the doors and windows. Besides just some tiny rectangles. Go with any of your smaller brush or a bridge with a pointed tip. The one I'm using here is size number six. That's a window. Now we have two doors. That's the first one. Here's the second one. All right. We have the doors and windows in. Now with the same paint, I'm fixing this corner. The shape wasn't proper. That's a cabin. Now we need to add the final textures on the roof. The base layer has almost right up. The same rush, I'm adding a few lines onto the extreme right side. Just a few lines using a medium tone of pain scream. Now I'm going to dip my brush in some water. Then I will tap it on a paper towel. With the damp sh, I'm gently smudging it. I want those patterns to be there. I don't want to get rid of it. Here's a closer look. Now before we wrap it up, there is one last thing to do. Which is fixing the roof line. For that, I'm going to go with a mix of white guash and a bit of dark brown. First, I will fix this part. The shape wasn't proper. Now I will add the roof line on the other side. It is just a straight line. I had some leftover white gash on my palette. It has completely dried up. It's not a freshly squeezed paint. See that? I simply mixed it with brown, that's the color I'm using right now. I'm not using white actus because it will be too prominent. Simply add some brown into white gas or white verticl then add of line. That's it. That's our painting for the day. I hope you all enjoyed the process and loved the result. Now it's time to pick off the masking tape. And here is our gorgeous hillside cabin. You can see how beautiful those colors have turned out. I hope you all had fun painting this gorgeous mini landscape. Thank you so much for joining me. I'll be back here soon with our next mini landscape. 16. DAY 12 - Cotton Candy Sky: Oh. Hello, dear friends. Our painting for the day is a quick aticar sky. It's a beautiful color combination, and the best part is that, you can do this in less than 10 minutes. Now let's quickly take a look at the colors, and then we can start with the painting. For the sky, you will need three colors, two colors for the base layer, and another color to add the clouds. For the base layer, I will use pink and turquoise blue, and to add the clouds, I will use violet. This one is a patel pink. If you don't have patel pink, you can add some white aticor with rose or crimson or red color. Or can simply go with a lighter tone of crimson or rose. The second color you will need is turquoise blue. We'll start with turquoise blue. We'll apply that on the top, we will use a medium tone. Then towards the bottom, we will use pink. The base layer is a blind of turquoise blue and pink. Now onto that to add the clouds, I'll be using violet. I won't be using violet acts. I'll mix that violet with pink to create a pastel purple. This one is permanent violet from Shinin. You can try and experiment different colors. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. Also you can use violet acts. You don't need to mix pink with that. Te are the three colors I will be using for the sky, pink, T requires blue and violet. Now we need two more colors for the mountains. The first one is Indigo. I'll be using this color for the background mountain. We'll add a basic shape of the mountain, using a medium tone of intco. Then using a taker tone, we will add some textures onto that. Now coming to the last color, that is paincray. We'll use a darker tone of paint scray for the foc round mountain. That is a final color you will need. If you have any of the colors that I'm using here, don't worry. Try and experiment the same sky with any other color combination of your choice. For example, instead of turquoise blue, you can go with any other blue and maybe instead of pink, you can use a lighter on a violet. That summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. Here is a closer look of all the swatches. You will need a patel pink, turquoise blue and violet for the sky. Then for the mountains, you will need indico and paints gray. Keep all the colors ready on your palette and let's give it a try. Okay, so let's start with the base layer. I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready on your palette. We need a basal pink, turquoise blue, and some violet. These are the three colors we will need for the sky. Okay, so let's start with the base layer. To apply the paint, I will use a flat brush. But before that, I will apply a coat of water. Using my 1 " wash bh. Don't apply a. Just a nice general coat of water is all we need. And run your brush multiple times in all directions to make sure the coat of water is even. All right. My background is evenly wet. Now I'm going to keep this brush aside, and I will switch to a flat brush. You can use a flat brush or a round rush. Both the brushes will work. Before you start, make sure your brush is clean. Now, first pick a metium tone of turquoise blue, and apply that on the top of the sky. Go with a medium tone, don't make it too light. See that? That's the tonal value I'm going with. Now we can apply this almost half of the sky. That is turquoise blue. Now I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm picking some pink. This one is a patel pink. If you don't have a Pasal pink, there are two things you can do. You can either add some white vertcar with crimson or any sort of rose, or you can simply use a lighter tone of rose or crimson without adding white. Now I'm going to blend these colors. We have some turquoise blue on the top and pink at the bottom. Okay, that's a base layer. Pink and turquoise blue is a beautiful color combination. Now we can start adding the clouds. I'm keeping this pressure aside, and I'm switching to a smaller round brush. This one is size number six. Now, to add the clouds, I'm going to go for a mix of violet and pink. I want a color that is not too dark and also has some basil touch to it. That's why I'm mixing these two colors together. See that. You can add a bit more violet. That looks really nice. Now, you seeing this color, I'm going to add the clouds onto this wet background. You can add it however you like. It's going to turn out really beautiful at the end. You can add the clouds however you like. Now I'm adding them on the blue background. While leaving some cap in between, so we can see that blue color in between those clouds. Add them while the background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time. Now if you want to add some more, you could do that. When you're painting a cloudy sky, there are a few things you have to keep in mind. The first thing is the wetness of the paint you're using to add the clouds. If it's too watery, they will spread a lot and they won't have any shape. If you feel your paint is to water, dab your brush on a paper towel before you add the clouds. This way, they will stay in shape. It won't spread a lot. The same way, be very careful about the wetness of your background. If it's too watery and if it's too wet, wait for a few minutes, maybe like a minute or two, and then add the clouds when the water is settled. That's how my sky has turned out. I'm really happy with the colors and the clouds. Painting a cloudy sky is all about choosing the right colors. Go with some beautiful color combination and add the clouds while the background is still wet. Now let's leave it for drying. Oh. So that is dried beautifully. Now to enhance the sky, we're going to introduce some elements onto the background. First, we will add a background mountain, then we will introduce another mountain in the foreground. For the first mountain, I'm going to go with indico. I will pick a medium tone with my size number six tone brush. Now I will add a simple shape first, then I will fill it up. Prepare a medium tone of indico and add a simple mountain line. If you want to start with the pencil sketch, you could do that, or I can right away, go with your brush. Add a mountain a little towards the bottom. That's the shape I'm going with. Now I'm going to fill it up with the same tonal value. I'm not making it lighter or anything. We can use the same tonal value and simply fill that entire bottom area. Quickly fill it up. We have to introduce some texture onto this before it dries. That is the base layer. If you want to modify the shape, you could do that. Give it a nice irregular shape on the top to make it look more natural. That's the base layer. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick a slightly darker tone of indico to introduce some texture. We will be adding them only on the top. Now, simply drop in that darker tone onto the background. See that. Simply add some lines or some small shapes, mostly on the top part of the mountain. Don't add a lot. We only need a few lines. Looks like the paint was too watery. I'm dabbing it on a paper towel, and I'm adding a few more lines in a sloping way. Don't add a lot of lines. The major color still has to be that medium tone. Just add a few lines in between and that's it. That's our fork ground mountain. Now we have to wait for this to dry before introducing the second mountain. That is right and you can see those beautiful textures we have achieved here. Next, we can introduce the foc mountain. For that, I'm going to go with paint scray. I'll use a darker tone of paint scray. Just like we did earlier, you can start with a mountain line, add a line first, then you can simply fill it up. You can start with a pencil sketch or you can directly co with your brush. I'm thinking of going for a lower profile on the left and towards the right, I will make it higher. You can go with any shape that you prefer. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. On the right, I'm making it a bit more higher over the side. We have used indigo for the background mountain, and right now we're using paints gray. It's more like black. I'm using a really taco tone. You can make it slightly irregular. I mean the line, the mountain line, to give it a more natural feel. Then once you have decided on the sheep, you can fill it up. The sky is looking really beautiful now. Earlier without any landscape elements, it was looking quite plain. But now when we introduce the Bro mountain and the Fucran Mountain, it looks a lot more enhanced, and that contrast is really beautiful. To make it more attractive, if you want to add a group of birds, you could do that. Okay, so those are our mountains and the gorgeous cotton candy sky. It was a really quick, yet a gorgeous painting. It took only less than 10 minutes to finish this tire painting. Now, before we peel off the masking tape, we'll have to wait for this to dry. All right, so here we are. The painting has dried beautifully. Now let's peel off the masking tape. I'm a huge fan of painting quick aticla as skies. I think this one has turned out really beautiful, considering the time we have used for this painting. The only thing I'm not happy here is that paint at the bottom. I'm going to take out some white gas and I will fill it up. This way, I can be 100% happy about this painting. I'll quickly fill this up. I hope you all had a great time painting this gorgeous cotton candy sky. It's a beautiful color combination. So give it a try either with the same color combination or a different color combination of your choice. To be honest, painting skies is not a big task. You just need to know when to drop in those clouds. Your background has to be still wet when you're adding these clouds. So yeah, all you need is a good quality watercolor paper, Hans in practice. 17. DAY 13 - Golden Sunset: Hello, my lovely friends. Welcome to day 13. Our painting for the day is a gorgeous golden sunset. It's a quick and easy one, and you wouldn't require a lot of colors. The first color you will need for this painting is a yellowish orange. The one I'm going to use is mum yellow orange. Go with any yellowish orange you have caught. The second one is brilliant orange. It's a much more brighter orange, more like vermion. Then you will need brown, and also some paints gray. We need all these four colors for the base layer. For the top part of the sky, we will use that yellowish orange. Then we will switch to brilliant orange, which is a much more brighter orange than this. That's as color. If you don't have a similar color, you can just add some vermin into any of the yellow you have caught. The color can be slightly different. We just need a yellowish orange. You can also use permanent yellow orange if you have that shade. Now the second one is brilliant orange. Instead of this color, you can also use vermin or any other bright and bold orange you have caught. That's our second color. Now, towards the bottom, we're going to introduce more darker tones. For that, you will need brown or burn Cena, and also some paint screen. Those are the next two colors we will need. I will be using permanent brown. This one is from art philosophy as a beautiful brown. That's a third color. Now the final color is paints gray. We'll be using paint scree to add the deeper tones at the bottom, and also for the final details. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this. Beautiful golden hour. You will need a yellowish orange. Then another bold and bright orange. Then for the deeper tones, you will need down and paint screen. Here is a closer look of all the spatches. It's a really quick artwork and you can finish this in less than 15 minutes. Let's give it a try. Alright, so I have my paper and the colors ready here. I hope you have them ready, too. So once you have them ready, you can start by applying a coat of water onto the entire paper. Just be sure your brushes. Now dip that in clean water and apply a nice onto the paper. So my paper is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with a medium sized brown brush. I think I will go with size number six. Before you start, make sure your brush is clean, dab it on a paper towel, and make sure there is no leftover paint on it. Now the first color I'm going to start with is mum yellow orange. I'm picking some paint on my brush. Then I'm going to add a circle on the on the wet paper. When you add the circle, the color will start spreading as the background is wet. That's totally okay. I will start with the bigger circle. The white part we are leaving right now is the sun and we need to retain some of it. If your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, it will spread a lot. Now if you couldn't retain any of the paper white, that's totally fine. Because if you have a lot of water on your background. Also if your paint is watery, the colors will spread a lot, and it will be very difficult to control the way is spreading. Right now, I have got a circle at the center. But then there is no guarantee that it will stay hazardous. It will start spreading. By the time I finish the sky, maybe only a little will be left, which is totally fine, we can fix it with some white paint. Now around that circle, I have added that yellowish orange and you can see how that circle is reducing its size. No mind, we will fix it. I'm adding more paint on the top. So far, I have only used yellowish orange. Now gradually, I will go with a darker orange and I will add that towards the bottom. Now there is one trick you can do which is grabbing a paper towel and gently picking up some paint from the background to retain the circle. See that. Now I'm going to go with brilliant orange, and I'm adding that over here. So we have a medium yellowish orange on the top, now towards the bottom, and also a little around the sun. We're going to add a much more brighter orange. So keep dragging your brush from either side towards the center. In a very gentle way, don't add a lot of paint. We need a smooth glowing background. I barely have a sun there. I'm using my paper towel I can. I'm trying to lift off some paint. I don't want to mess up the sky, so I'm being very gentle. I think I have somehow got the sun back. If you couldn't retain any of the paper white, that's totally fine. We can fix it with some white gash. Next, I'm going to go with some brown, and I'm adding that towards the bottom. You can see how the colors are looking more intense when we introduced brown. Let's add that onto the entire area. And then we can gradually add some paints gray to make it more darker at the bottom. That is yellowish orange, brilliant orange, and brown. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray. And I will add that at the bottom most area. You can see how beautiful the background is turning out. We started out with a lighter tune, then we vented with a metium tone, and now the colors are much darker. I'm going to add some more taker tunes. I feel the darker tone isn't enough. I'm introducing some more brown and paints gray at the bottom. That looks fine. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some grassy lines onto the background. First, we can make use of the paint in the background itself. You don't need to pick any new paint. Now if there isn't enough paint on your brush, you can pick some paint obviously. I'm using a darker toon of brown here. See that. Now, I'm just adding some lines onto the tip. See that. Just go for some nice curvy lines and add them on a wet background. It's been almost like 5 minutes or a bit more since we have painted the background. The water content in the background might have settled, so it won't spread a lot. Keep on adding them from the bottom into the sky. For now, don't add any lines onto the sun, leave it act is. No matter what the shape is. Mine is looking quite weird, which is really fine. We can come back with a white ash and fix it. So I'm not really worried about that. Keep on adding some lines onto the background without disturbing the sun or that area where you want to add the sun in. You can see the kind of lines I'm adding. It's more like that pampas, grass or foxtail plants. Add a few simple lines first. Then onto the tip, you can add a few more extra lines. Here is how it has turned out. We can add a few more. The only color I have used so far is a Daco done of brown, which is a mix of paints gray and brown. And I'm simply adding some lines onto the background. Some of them curves, some of the matins, some of them match. So I'm not really thinking much. I'm simply adding some lines onto the background while it is still wet. Next, I'm going to repeat the same step with some pins gray. See that? It is again, some simple lines, more like some grassy curvy lines. You can simply start from the bottom and drag your brush towards the top and add these lines wherever you want to. You can see how beautiful it has turned out compared to the other side. In a similar way, we have to add some lines on the other side as well to bring in that contrast. I'm going to pick more paint, and I will add some lines from the bottom towards the top. See that. Simply dry your brush and add these lines, your background might be still a little wet, so they will have a blurry look, and that is exactly what we need. You can take a few lines into the sky to make it look more interesting, and in between, you can add some leaves asper. That's how it has turned out. If you're happy with the result, you can call it done or to make it more intense and tense. You can add a few more lines only at the bottom using a taco toon. Okay, so that is it. I'm really happy with the result. The only thing I'm not really happy with is the sun. So what I'm going to do is, I will take out some white quash, and I will give it a proper shape. So first, clean your brush thoroughly and make sure there's no left over paint on it. Then go with some white quash or white watercolor. And then add that circle back. Give it a proper shape. Honestly, when I started, I thought I could retain it. I wouldn't need to go with white gah or white articular. But clearly I couldn't, but never mind, white gah came to the rescue. That is the base layer. We did the tA thing in one go. Now we'll have to wait for this to write completely, and then we can add some more lines using a taco tone on a dried background. Let's take a short break. Okay, so that is d right completely. Now, to give it a more finished look, we can add some more lines. I mean, some more grassy lines. I'm using a smaller brush here. This one is size number two, and I'm using paints gray acts. It's a taker tone. Okay. Now, in a similar way how I did earlier, I'm going to add few more lines onto the background, only at the bottom. Before you start, just make sure your background has tried completely. If it's still wet, wait for a few more minutes. Okay. Now, I'm simply adding a line, then onto the tip, I'm adding few more lines. It's more like a red or a foxtail plant. Start by adding a long Covey line, then onto the tip, add a few more lines. See that. Some of them can be longer, some of them can be shorter, add them wherever you like and however you like. Do that. The idea here is to use different tonal values of brown in the background. We used a medium tone earlier. Now we're using a taco tone. The patterns we added earlier was on a wet background, and for the same reason, they all look a little blurry. They don't have a definite shape. And right now, we're adding them on a dried background, and you can clearly see the difference. The lines are more crisp and detailed. You can try the same painting with any color combination of your choice. You can go with purple or blue or any other color combination. Try using a taker toon to what's a bottom. And with the same tacoton, you can add these reeds and grassy pattern. It's a wonderful painting. Whenever you find some time, give it a try with any other color combination of your choice. Now I'm going to quickly add few more lines onto the left side. The right side is looking quite neat. It looks finished. On this side as well, I will add one or two lines. I will add one here, a longer one. Now onto the tip. I'm adding some more extra lines. The brush I'm using here is size number two. It has got a real really nice pointed tip. I would recommend going with a smaller brush or a detailing brush to get the best result. You can see the lines. They're very thin and delicate. Maybe we can add one more towards the left and with that, I'm going to call it done. So take a look at your painting. If you feel there is a lot more extra space in between, you can go with paint screen or a darker tone of brown and add a few more lines. Okay, so that is done. Now, before I wrap it up, I want to add a line closer to the sun, so I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going with an orangish tone. I have some yellow and orange here. I will just mix it. It's more like a golden shade. Now using that, I'm adding a line here. Now onto the tip, I will add some more lines. This one is completely optional. I was actually about to peel off my masking tape, but for some reason, I felt like adding one more here. That is a last one and that's our painting for the day. Hope you all liked it. It's a really beautiful artwork, and it took us less than 15 minutes. So give it a try if I get to try it, and I'm very sure you're going to love the result. You don't need to use the same colors. You can go with any color combination of a choice. Just like I mentioned earlier, it could be a combination of purple or blue or red or any other color combination. Okay, give it a try. It's a quick one, and if you're trying it, be sure to upload them to the project gallery. I would love to see them. Okay, so that's all for the day. I hope you all loved it. Thank you so much for joining me. I'll be back here soon with our next mini watercolor landscape. Oh. 18. DAY 14 - Misty Lake: Oh. Hello, dear friends, welcome to 14. Today, we're going to try another monochrome painting with only one single color intco. It's a quick and easy painting with a lot of character, and it's a gorgeous one. First, we will start with the background. We will add these trees and the reflection, and when that layer has dried, we will add the pot. We will do this painting in two steps and as I said earlier, the only color you will need is intco. You can also try the same painting with any other color of your choice. It could be paints gray or any other color you like. We're going to play with different tonal values of Itco to create the depth and character in this painting. Right now, you see a medium tone. We'll be using that shade for the background to add those trees and everything. Then we'll use a slightly taker tone to create the texture. Then we will use a much more taker tone to add the port. Yeah, that is how the painting is composed. We will use three or more different tonal values of Itco to create the depth and all those textures. To me, I love painting monochrome, especially when you have tried a lot of color combinations and different subjects. It's more like a calming and relaxing process for me when I explore only one single color. Anyway, we are going to give it a try. It's a beautiful process. I'm really sure you guys are going to enjoy it. Now before we start, there's one thing that I want to mention. According to the brand and the pigment they are using, your indigo can look a little different. For example, this indigo I have here is from Shinhan. The pigment number is different and this one is more grayish. You can have a look at the pigment numbers here. For the Shinhan, it is P 66, and for philosophy, it is PB 27, PB 15, and P six. The pigments are different, and that is the main reason why the colors are looking so different from each other. Those slight differences is not going to affect your painting, so don't worry about it. Take out any indigo you have got and let's give it a try. All right, my paper is ready here, and the only color you will need for this painting as Indigo. You can also go with paint scy if you prefer that. Keep your paper ready and squeeze out some color onto your palette. Now, before I start applying the paint onto the paper. I'm going to add a line almost at the center of the paper. Over there, I'm just adding a straight line, which is the horizon. This is just a reference line for us to understand when we should make the color lighter. Now, I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the tA background. Before you start, make sure your brush is clean. Okay. Now apply a general quart of water onto the tire paper, un brush on the tier paper multiple times. Just to be sure the t of water is even. Okay, so my paper is entirely wet. I have applied a nice even quart of water. Now, I'm going to keep this pressure aside, and I'm switching to a flat brush. I'm starting with a medium tone of int Co. I'm applying that at the bottom. At the bottom and on the top, we want the color to be slightly darker, not too dark, just a medium tone. Then toward the center, we will make the color lighter. I have added some paint at the bottom. Similarly, we can add some on the top as well. Toward the center, we have a lighter tone. It's mostly the paper white. I haven't added any paint there. Now on the top and the bottom, we have a lighter to medium tone of indico. That is a footstep. I have used a flatbruh here, and we have made the color lighter towards the center. Next, we need to add some landscape along the horizon and also it's reflection. So I'm keeping this flat brush aside, and I'm going with a round brush. Before you start, keep a piece of paper towel next to you or a cotton cloth. Just in case if you're painting this to watery, you can dab it on a paper towel. Now let's begin. I'm going to go with a medium tone of Intego. It has to be darker than the color we used in the background. We have just painted the background and it might be completely wet. I think it's a good idea to wait for a minute or maybe 30 or 40 seconds. If you go in with your paint right now, it will spread a lot, and it will be really difficult to control the weight of spreading. I think I can try now. See that. That's a color I'm using. Now, write about that line I have added, and simply adding a very simple rough shape. It is not spreading too much, which means the water content has settled. Along the outer borders, there is still a lot of water. Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and add in the shape. So I've just added a simple shape on the top. Leaving some cap at the center. Again, adding a similar shape in the opposite direction with the same paint at the same tonal value. There is some white space at the center. You have to retain that as it is. Now we can add more paint or modify the shape. See that. However, you're adding the shape on the top, you have to try and make the reflection similar to that. It doesn't need to be exactly the same, but the overall shape and the size should match. Now I'm picking a much more taker toon of indico, and I'm going to add in some taker toons in between to make it interesting. I'm just dropping in some paint in between. It's a really taker tone. But I'm dropping that on a wed background. Just to create some texture and some tonal values. We can add similar tonal values at the bottom as well to make the reflection look the same. So I've simply dropped in some paint. Now with the same brush, I'm smudging it to give it a better look. Right now it's a mess. Next, with the same brush, I'm going to add some small shapes to make it look like trees. If you paint is to watery, dab it on a paper towel, and then simply add some lines towards the bottom. I'm starting with a reflection. Then we can add similar lines on the top. Simply drag your brish down and add some lines. And on the top as well, you could do the same. It doesn't need to be well detailed. Simply add some lines onto the top and also towards the bottom to show the reflection. Then wherever you want to smudge the paint, you could do that as well. See that. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. Now, the only part which is a bit messy is the center part. To do that, first, I'm going to dab off all the paint on a paper towel, and I'm running a dry brush back and forth to give it a smoother and softer feel. See that? Don't go the watery brush. Go the brush, which is dry. If you want to add more paint, you could do that as well, but not a lot. We still have to retain that whiter space at the center to create a foggy effect. Okay. If you want to introduce some more tacotons onto the background, you could do that. My background is still wet, so I'm just making use of the situation. I'm adding some more paint onto the right side. I will just add them on the right. I'm not going to touch the other side. Now I'm smudging it. I want to create different kind of tonal values and textures in the background. It's a monochrome painting. The way your painting is going to turn out, completely depend on the way you're adding different tonal values and textures. That's how it has turned out. Next, with the same brush, I'm going to add some pine trees on the top. When I say pine trees, they are going to be very simple shapes. Add a line, then on to that, add some teeny tennis exact lines. Similarly on the bottom asple. Use a medium tune. You don't need to go for a darker tone, and then it doesn't need to be detailed. Only at some places you can add these and whenever you're adding them on the top, you have to add similar ones on the bottom asple to show the reflection. See that. It is just a single line. Then onto that, I'm adding some messy lines onto either side. That's it. It is not at all detailed. It doesn't need to be. Just pick some random places and add in a few pine trees. Now, just in case if you're not comfortable, adding these trees, that's totally fine, you can completely ignore it. We already have some sheeps and textures in the background. That would be enough. Anyway, this is how it has turned out. Now we'll have to wait for this to try before we go with the final details. Okay, so that is read completely. Next, we're going to add a boat, using a dark tone of Itco. So using my smaller brush, I'm picking a really dark tone of intc. And I'm going to add the boat somewhere over here. I'm placing it a bit below that white line, which is horizon line. See that. And that's the kind of size I'm going with. It's not to pick. Be very careful about the size. If you make it two pick, your painting will go out of proportion. So go the similar size or make it even more smaller. I'm starting with the basic shape of the boat, and I'm missing a taco tone of indico here. That's a boat. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I will dab it on a paper towel, just to be sure it is not to watery. With the medium tone, I'm going to add the reflection of the boat. Go with a medium tone. Now add a mirror image of the boat using that medium tone. See that? You really don't need to wait for the boat to dry. You can go in with your reflection right away. That's the boat and the reflection. Now, just in case if you feel the reflection is very prominent, you can use a paper towel and just dab on it very gently. See that. Only if you feel like the color is very prominent, you can do this. Otherwise, this is completely optional. Anyway, next, I'm going to go back with that darker tone, and I'm going to add a tiny human being. There is a man sitting over here. I'm starting with a head. Then I'm adding an inverted U and I'm filling that. There is a basic shape. Now we need to add the hand. Add a small line towards the left. Then clean your brush and go with a medium tone of Intego and just extend that into the boat. We have the boat and a tiny human pain. Now we need to add the reflection. Go with an inverted U shape first, then a circle at the bottom. Okay. Now with the same medium tone, I'm adding a line on the top, a very gentle line. Okay. So that's a boat and the reflection. You don't need to add a lot of detail. This is all we need. Now, before we wrap this up, there is one more thing that I want to do. And for that, I'm going to go with some white gage. You can either use white gage or white tic. We're going to add some lines on to the lake to give it some extra character. We only need a tiny drop of paint, so I'm just going to take it directly from the tube itself with my smaller brush. So pick a little of paint. It could be either white gase or white water colour. The brise I'm using here a sized number two. Now, I'm going to add a few lines onto the lake in a very random way. They're not too thick, and they're not too white asp. Some simple lines like this. It's more like a dry white line, which is not too prominent. Add them in a similar way. Don't make it too bold. I just randomly, add a few lines here and there, and that's it. I will add one more or maybe two more towards the right side. See that? These lines are a very simple detail, but it will add a lot of depth to your painting. Don't skip this. But be sure not to make them too bold and prominent, add them in a similar way. That's it. That's how it has turned out. This was a very simple painting. We took less than 15 minutes and we only used one single color with this indico. I think this board is a beautiful feature. Otherwise, our painting might look a little boring. Anyway, now it's time to peel out the masking tape. Go to try if I get to try it. I'm very sure you're going to love the result, and it wouldn't take you more than 15 minutes. I think it can easily fit in your day. I really like the background and the reflection. Here is a closer. See that? It's a very simple painting, but you can really see the depth and the character here. I love it. I hope you all loved it, too. Thank you so much for joining me today. I'll be back here soon with our next mini vertical landscape. 19. DAY 15 - Summer Evening: Hello, dear friends. Welcome today 15 of painting many verticar landscapes. Now here's the painting that we're going to try today. It's a beautiful summer evening. So as usual, it'll start by looking at the colors. Then we can start with the process. So the very first color you will need is any yellow orange. The one I'm going to use is um yellow orange. If you don't have a yellow orange, you can just use yellow acts. It could be ambo yellow or yellow. Okay, that is the first color. You can see that color on the sky over here. Okay? Now, the second color you will need is red. This one is pyrol red. I know you can't see red acid is in the painting because I have used it along with yellow. So it has turned into a orange. Okay. If you don't have pyrol red, you can go with scarlet or vermalin. So that's our second color. Now the next color you will note is paints gray. Over here, you see a dakoton. It is actually a mix of red and paints gray. You can either use burn temper or can just mix some red with paints gray to create a taco toon of brown. Okay, so those are the three colors I'll use for the sky, yellow, orange, then red, and also paints gray. Now, coming to the full ground and the tree, you can guess the color already, I'll using paints gray and brown to paint the section. If you don't have brown, go with burn Cena. Then along with that. You will also need some paints gray to add the deeper tones. Also for the tree. Okay, that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Then you will also need a little of white to add the sun, which is completely optional. All right, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. Keep them ready on your palette and let's get it try. Okay, let's start by adding the sketch. The only thing you need to add is an irregular line. To show the foreground and to separate the background. So Go for an irregular line. It can be higher on one side and lower on the other side. Okay for now, just add an irregular line. We can add the tree and the remaining details later as you paint. For now, this is all we need. Now, make sure you have all the colors ready. We need yellowish orange, red, and paints gray. We need these three colors for the sky. Make sure you have them ready before you start. And when you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the sky. Looks like there's some brown. Never mind. I will just spread it. Okay, so apply a cod of water onto the sky. It's evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my round brush. This one size number eight. The first color I'm going to pick is cadmium yellow orange. As I said earlier, it can be either yellow or a yellowish orange. Now apply that at the center. Next with the same brush, pick some red and apply that on the top. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. Just apply it. I just realized I don't have enough red on my palette. I will need to take out some paint quickly before the background dries out. Okay. Now I'm going to continue. I'm going to go with that same mix. I will take some red. Then I will add some yellowish orange along with that. And then I'm applying that color at the bottom. So this one is a much more intense orange. So my idea is to control the orange. At some places, I want it to be too intense. And at some places, I want to have a dull and a light orange. I'm adding a few lines here, and I'm retaining yellow on the left. Now I'm cleaning my brush, and then with the same brush, I'm picking some paints gray, and I will mix that with this color we have here. We can add some more. And I'm adding that at the bottom. So my idea is to apply a brownish tone at the bottom. You can use burn timber acts, or you can mix some burns or brown with paints gray. Either ways, we just need some taco tone at the bottom. That's all. That is a basic idea. We use some yellowish orange, then some red. And now we are using some brown at the bottom. Over here, I feel it's not nice. I'm just adding some more red to give it a better look. So that's how the sky has turned out. I'm loving the colors and that natural blend. I need to fix it. I accidentally added some brown on the sky. Never mind. I'm going with a clean brush and I'm smudging it very gently. Okay, that's a sky. Now before we leave this for dry, there's one more thing that we have to do. And for that, I'm going back with a mix of red and paints gray. This time, the color is a little more daker. And then I'm going to add some landscape in the background. Only on the left, because on the other side, we already have enough of brown. So this might not be visible even if we add it. Onto that wet background, introduce some random shapes to show the plants and trees in the background. Okay, so that's a sky. I'm really happy with the colors and the plant. Initially, my idea was different. I wanted to add some more red, but then when I did a trial, I loved the way it turned out. Anyways, now let's leave it for trying. All right, so that's dried completely. The colors are a bit dull, but overall, I'm happy with the result. Anyways, our next task is to paint the foreground. And that's an easy task. We just have to drop in some paints gray and brown onto the background. To create a rocky kind of a texture. Okay, so let's pick in with paints gray. I'm picking enough paint on my brush. And I'm randomly adding that onto the background. Just add a few random shapes. You can go the similar tonal value. Don't use a lighter tone. You can add the paint wherever you like. You can add some on the top, some at the bottom, and some in between. This was paints gray. Next, I'm going to switch to brown. I'll clean my brush first, and then I'm picking some brown with the same brush. I'm going to add that onto these in between spaces. Just drop that in. This will create a beautiful texture, and that is exactly what we need. Try to go with the taker toon, don't add a lot of water. Otherwise, there won't be any contrast. You can actually go in any order. You can either go with brown first and then paints gray or go with paints gray and then brown. Both of them are fine, and you can add the paint however you like. We just need some brown in between and also a taco toon. Other than that, there's nothing to worry here. You can add it however you like. Okay. Now, I'm going to pick some more paint scray, and I will add that around the bottom and also a few in between. So take a look at your painting, and wherever you feel, there isn't enough taker toons. You can add some more. Now, I'm adding some taco toon on the top and also giving it a better shape. We have some more area left. Let's fill in that asp. I'm picking more paint scray, and I'm adding that over here. Also fixing the shape. Go for an irregular line to make it look more natural. And that's it. As you're painting an evening scene, we don't need to put a lot of effort. Things will be quite dark. So you don't need to add a lot of details. But if needed, you can go back with paint scray, a much more taker tone and add some more textures onto the background, especially onto the bottom. So I've taken a dry paint, and I'm adding some more lines to create a texture background. This is completely optional. Only if you want to add more textures, you could do that. Otherwise, it's in a good shape. Okay. Now the next task is to add the tree. I have taken a smaller brush, this one is size number six. I will start by adding the tree trunk. Then on to that, we can add some smaller branches using a smaller brush. Okay. So go the taco toon of pain scree, and you can add the tree wherever you like. I'm going to place it on the top. But before that, I will give it a better shape. Okay. Next, I'm going to add the tree. I'm going to place it over here. First, we can add the tree trunk. I'm adding an irregular line. Don't add a straight line. Add it as if your hand is shivering, this weight will look more natural and realistic. So go for a thick line first, and irregular thick line. Then we can go with the smaller brush to add the remaining branches. So more branches, the more beautiful your tree will be. Keep that in mind. I will add the major big branches with the same brush itself. Then I will go with a smaller brush, maybe size number two, to add the smaller ones. So yeah, it's a very simple tree. There is nothing much complicated here. You can place it wherever you want, and you can add the branches however you like. Next I'm going to add one branch over here towards the bottom. And then maybe I will add one more toward the top. So you guys don't need to follow the exact same pattern while adding the branches. You can add them wherever you want to. Next time, adding one over here. Okay, these are the major bigger branches. Now I'm going to switch to my smaller brush. This one is size number two. And using this brush, I'm going to add some delicate thin branches onto the tire tree. I will add as much as I can to give it a beautiful character. I think it's better if I use a dakoton of brown instead of paints gray. I think paints gray is too loud. So I just added some brown with paints gray. See that? Now, with that color, I'm going to add some thin delicate branches. Now, if you have noticed, I'm adding all the branches towards the right side. That is intentional. I wanted to make it look like there is some wind blowing, some strong wind, and I'm adding them towards the right to show the direction of the wind. So towards the left, I won't be adding much branches. I will focus towards the right side. So the brush I'm using here is size number two. It is from silver black velvet brush. It's a beautiful brush. I've been using this for years, and yet, it has got a beautiful tip. You can see the delicate lines I'm adding here. You can also use a liner brush if you prefer that. For me, for some reason, the liner brushes doesn't work. Maybe it is because of the longer brush hair. I feel I don't have any control over him, but I have seen many artists using them beautifully. So if you prefer that, you can use a liner brush or any brush with a pointed tip. Okay. I have added quite a lot of branches. Now I'm going to add one more towards the bottom. Maybe a thicker broken branch. I will add that over here. Okay. So the more branches you add, the more character your tree will have, because this is the only f ground element we have, because the rest is a simple sky and a textury bottom. So I think we can add some more branches to give it more character. But it's totally up to you. If you feel like you have added enough, we can just leave it as it is. I'm just extending these branches and making them longer. And you can see, I'm adding them only to add a right to retain that windy character. Okay. Now, I think I have added enough. Next, there is one more thing that I want to do. And for that, I'm cleaning my brush. And I'm going to add a sun somewhere over here. So let's take out some white gage. You can use white gage or white watercolor. Just be sure not to add a lot of water. We want a thick opaque paint. Okay. As I only need a little, I'm dipping my brush directly into the tube, and I'm picking some paint and adding a tiny circle. Just pick some white watcor or white quash and add a tiny tart. And that's our sun. I think the sun made it look complete. You can also add some birds if you feel like a group of tiny birds. That's how it has turned out. I was actually about to peel up the masking tape, but my husband just commented, I can add some more branches. He feels there isn't enough. For him, I'm going to add some more branches. If you feel like you have added enough, you don't need to add more. But I think there is always room for more branches. So if you want to add some extra character to your tree, let's together add some more branches. Okay, so this is it. I have added enough. I think I have added. Now, I'll just make some of them a bit more thicker. And then I'm gonna call it done, especially these ones here. I think these can be a little more thicker. These are the major branches. So compared to the other thin ones. This can be a little more thicker. I'm really loving the way this painting is turning out. The only thing I regret is not going with much more brighter colors for the sky. When it dried, it is looking a little dull, but never mind, that's something we have to expect with water. It always dries one tone lighter. Anyways, this is it, I have reached my limit. I don't want to add any more branches. Let's peel up the masking tape. Okay, so here's a finished painting. I think it's a lovely color compinion, and everything has come out really nice. I hope you all enjoyed it. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next mini aticor landscape. 20. DAY 16 - Calm Evening: O O There friends, welcome today 16. Today we're going to paint another simple sunset over a gorgeous meadow. As usual, let's start by looking at the colors we will need, and then we can start with the process. The first color you will need is indico and pink. Those are the two colors I've use for the sky. If you don't want to use indico, you can go with any other blue of your choice. It can be prescient blue or any other blue. We just need a medium tone for the sky. The one I'm using here is indico from art philosophy, and that's our first color. Now, coming to the second color. It's a pistil pink. If you don't have any pasal pink, you can just use a lighter tone of crimson or carmine or any kind of rose or pink. This one is brilliant pink from Shinhan. It's a beautiful pasal pink. O can just add some white vertica with any of the pink or red pigment to create a similar color. All right. Now coming to the meadow, you can see different tonal values of green and brown here. For the topmost area, I'm going to use a mix of yellow ochre and sap green. I don't want the colors to be too fresh and bright. That's why I'm mixing some yellow ochre with sap green. Okay. Next is Sap green. So for the meadow, first, I will go with a mix of yellow ocher and sap green. Then towards the bottom, we want the color to be more darker and more textury. And for that, I will add some burn Cena with sap green. If you prefer using fresh greens, you don't need to mix and create this color. You can use sap green acid. Now, I'm going to swatch out burn cena. When you mix Sap green and burn Cena together, you will get a beautiful olive green color. And I think we have used that in our previous painting safer. Okay. So that is Burn Cena. Now, there's one more color you will need to add the deeper tones, which is pens gray. Also for those focron elements, we will use paints gray, and that is our final color. So we're going to do this painting as two steps. One is the background layer, where we will paint the sky, the meadow, and the background elements. Then when that has dried, we will co with the focron elements, which means before you start, you should have all these colors ready on your palette. You should have some indico, pastel pink, yellow ocher, sap cream, burn Cena, and paint screen. Keep them ready on your palette, and let's give it a try. So I'm going to start by adding horizon line. That's the only thing you need to add. Add that a bit below the center of the paper. Okay so the top part is going to be the sky, the bottom is going to be the meadow. Then along the horizon, we will add some landscape far away. Okay, so those are the things we're going to do in the first step. We're going to paint the entire background layer in one go. Okay. So before you start, make sure you have all the colors ready on your palette. For the sky, you will need some intco, as well as basal pink. Those are the two colors we will use for the sky. Then along with that you laid sap cream, yellow ochre, burn Cena, and a little of paint screen. Keep all these colors ready on your palette. Then when you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire background, using any of your wide clean brush. I'm missing a 1 " wash brush. Now I'm picking some clean water, and I'm applying that onto the entire background. Make sure there's no pools of water. We just need a shiny coat. So run your brush multiple times to be sure the coat of water is even. If there's a lot of water on your background, the colors will start floating and spreading a lot, and you won't get a decide effect. Okay. Now my background is evenly wet. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside, and I'm going with my size number eight brush because I'll make sure it's clean. And then I will pick a medium tone of indico. It should not be too dark and it should not be too light as well. So go with a medium tone of indico. I'm adding more water. Seems the color is quite dark. Okay. Now I'm going to apply that color on the top of the sky. That's kind of tonal value I'm using. Next, I'm going to clean my brush and for the leftover area, I'm going to go with pink. Okay. Let's pick some pink. And I'm adding that at the bottom. And then I will gradually blend that with indico. So we have used a medium tone of intco, then I have used paint, and I have gone with the soft blend. If you want to add in more paint, you could do that. If you want to make pink more brighter or blue more brighter, you can add some more paint. It's totally fine. So that's a base layer. We have some intco and pink. Next, we're going to add in some clouds while the background is still wet. And for that as well, I'm using the same brush. And I'm picking a medium tone of intco. If you paint is to water, you dab it on a paper towel before you start. Now, simply add some lines onto the wet background. Don't add a lot. You can add a few at the bottom, and maybe a few onto the top. Also don't pick a lot of paint and go the paint, which is not too watery. If it's too watery, it will spread a lot, and they won't stay as clouds. The t background will get messed up. Try to retain most of the pink at the bottom. Don't add a lot of clouds over there. You can add more toward the top. That's how the sky has turned out. First, we used teco and pink for the base layer. Then we have added some clouds. That part is done. Next, we can start painting the meadow. I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm going with a mix of yellow ochre and sap green. I want a color that is more like green gold or a olive green, whatever you want to color it. I don't want to use green acts. I want a dull green. Okay. This one is a mix of yellow ochre and sap green. That's a color. Now we can start applying that from the horizon, and then apply that a little towards the bottom. Okay. Now we need to make the color more darker. For that, I'm going to add some more sap green, as well as burn Cena into the same mix. Okay. So the colors I'm using here is kind of dull. I don't want them to be too bright. That's the reason why I'm adding brown and yellow ochre along with sap green. So Mx some sap green and burns in a together and create a color which is more like olive green. This one has more brown in it. The green is not much visible. It looks mostly like brown, but never mind. We can go with another x with more green. For now, I will just add this color into the background. My intention is not a clean blend. I want to create different kind of tonal values and textures. So that's why I'm adding different shades of green into the background. Next, I'm going to pick more sap green, and I will add that asper. Okay. Let's mix sap green with the same color, that brownish color. And in between, we can add that color as well. So there is no particular rule or order here. You can simply drop in that paint onto the wet background and create a texture background. Okay. You can see how carelessly I'm adding the paint. I'm not really worried about getting a clean blend or anything. I just want to add different kind of greens into the background while it is still wet. Next, I'm going to go with a smaller brush, and I will pick some indico. Now I'm going to mix a bit of dico with green to create a darker tone. With that color, I'm going to add the background details. See that. Go with any of your smaller brush and add some simple irregular shapes along the horizon. We have to add this detail along the Nt horizon line. The color I'm using here is a mix of green and indico. Go with the similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. Now simply add a random sheap along the horizon. At some places, it can be taller, and at some places, it can be shorter. This will make it look more natural. Have added that along the Nt horizon line. Now maybe on either end, I will make it a bit taller. It's a beautiful color combination, and you can see how staning it is turning out. Early without any elements along the horizon, it was looking quite plain and empty. But now when we added these details along the horizon, it is looking more complete and more beautiful. Okay. That's the sky, the meadow, and the horizon details. Now, I'm going to add that left paint at the bottom. I feel the bottom most area can be a bit more darker. So I'm just dropping in some more paint. Again in a very random way. See that. Maybe we can add some paints gray into the same mix to make it more darker. Along the horizon, I want a color which is more like a medium tone and towards the bottom, I want that to be more darker. Let's pick some paints gray. Let's add that as well. Only at the bottom most area. I'm not adding it anywhere else. Okay. So we have added some textures onto the background. Now we need to give it a better look. So I'm going to go with my medium size brush. This one is size number eight. I have cleaned it, and I'm dabbing that on a paper towel. Now with a clean dry brush, I'm just mudging these patterns very gently. I'm not putting a lot of pressure. See that. Now those patterns are getting a blurry and a soft look. Earlier, they were a lot more prominent. Okay. So once you have applied the paint, if you feel they are very rough, you can just smudge it with a clean dry brush. It can be dry or it can be a bit tamp, but not to watery. Okay. So that's how the background has turned out. You can see those different tonal values of grain. And just because we dropped in the paint very randomly, we have created a beautiful texture here. The major part of the painting is done. We have the sky, the meadow, and the background details. Now, the next step is to add some final details. We'll be adding some fcrowd elements. But before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. All right, so that has died completely. Next, we're going to go with the final details. And to add those details, I will use a smaller brush. This one is size number two. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. Now, the color I'm going to use here is paints gray, go with the taco toe. Now we're going to add some plants onto the background, so we can begin by adding a line. A simple irregular line. Now onto that, I'm going to add some branches. Just to make it look like this branching out. Now onto this, we can add some leaves. You can add as many leaves as you want. I'm going to add one over here, then another one there. See that? It's not perfectly shaped. You can add that in a similar way. Just turn your brush and create a wavy line and add some thickness at the bottom. That's it. We can add one here. That's a first step. Now onto this, I'm going to add a flower. It's not a complicated flower. You have to add some lines on to the tip first. There's some simple lines. O. Two, three, and maybe one more. Have added four lines. Now onto the tip, I'm just adding some tiny dots and some small sheaps. See that. You can add them close to each other and create a group of flowers there. Just keep on adding some dots and some small sheaps. Using the tip of your brush. Maybe we can add one more in between. Onto that as well, I'm adding some dots and some small sheats. See that. That's how we're going to add the flower. It's a simple detail, but you can see how beautiful it has turned out. Now, following a similar process, you can add as many flowers and as many plants as you want. We have another empty branch. We can add a flower here. First, from this point, I'm adding some lines. It can be three or four or five. Then onto the tip, add some small sheets close to each other. Simple right. You just need to keep on adding these dots and small sheaves, and it will look like a group of flowers. That's the second one. Now in a similar way, we're going to add a few more plants and flowers until it looks complete. Right now, we have only added one, there's a lot more space. Maybe we can add three or four more extra plants. Start by adding the stem and the branches. You can add as many as you want, and F all of them, you don't need to add the flowers. Maybe you can go for a different detail. You can add some tiny tiny lines on the top. Let's do that for this one. Onto the tip, I'm just adding a grassy pattern. Okay. Now let's go with another one. Let's add that over here. First add the stem. Then you can add some branches onto that. Just keep on adding some irregular lines. Try to go the smaller brush so that you can get those crispanin lines. Now onto the tip, I'm adding few lines towards the top. Then I'm adding those tiny tiny patterns, and I'm filling it up. I hope you guys are able to follow. It's a simple plant actually. You can use the same in your other paintings as well as a full ground element. Next, I'm going to add a few more leaves. Another one there. Now we can add some more branches and leaves and flowers to make it look complete. So pick some more paint screen on your smaller brush and add irregular lines and also some leaves. Add as many as you want. There is no limit here. The more the merrier. Let's add a few onto the left. Over here, it looks empty. It is just some simple lines. There is nothing much complicated here. But try to go the smaller brush to get the best result. Now onto this, I'm going to add that lines on either side. I'm not adding a flower here. Go with any kind of detail that you prefer. It doesn't always need to be a flower. It could be just ref for some other element. Now I will add some leaves very randomly. One there. There may be another one here. These are longer leaves. I'm just trying to fill in all the gaps. According to your painting, you can add them wherever you want to. Keep on adding some leaves or grassy pattern or flowers. I think I will add one flower on the left. Yeah, first add the lines, then add those tiny tiny tarts and patterns. Then you could add some more leaves to make it look complete. And that's it. That's our painting for the day. I really like the way a has turned out. Now, take a look at your painting. If you feel there's a lot of gaps in between, you can introduce another plant or leaf or something else. Also, maybe you can add some birds onto the sky if you prefer that. That's all for the day. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape. And here we are. Look at that beautiful painting. I love the textures and the final details. It's a beautiful color combination. Give it a try if I get to try it. I'm very sure you're going to love it. Alright, so thank you so much for joining today. I'll be back here soon with our next minicor landscape. 21. DAY 17 - Summer Evening: Oh. Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 17 of painting mini aticor landscapes. Our painting for the day is a beautiful petal sky. It is a soft summer evening. Anyway, as usual, let's have a look at the colors we need. The first color you will need is a patel pink. Pasal pink is not a common color. It's actually a mix of red pigment and a white pigment. If you don't have a patel pink, you can easily create a similar color by adding white at coor with crimson or carmine or even red, or you can go the lighter tone of crimson or any kind of rose. This one is called brilliant pink. It is from the branch inan. Along with pink, you will also need some indico for the sky. I'll using a really light tone of indico. But instead of indico, you can use any other color of your choice. In any other blue color. You can use choise blue, Prussian blue, Cabal blue or any other blue. For the mountain asphalt, I'll be using indico. That's our second color. Now let's talk about the colors you will need for the meto. It's a very dry summary land. The first color you will need is yellow ocher. This one is again from Shinhan. I hope you all have yellow ochre. Now the second color you will need is brown or burn Cena, I'll using permanent brown from art philosophy. Both the colors will work. If you don't have brown, don't worry, just go with burn scena. Finally, to add the deeper tones, you will also need some paints gray. You can see I have used yellow ochre on the top, and towards the bottom, I have made the color. So paints gray is the last color you will need. Okay. So for the sky, you will need two colors, indico and pink. Then for the summery meadow, you will need yellow ochre, brown or burn Cena, and then also some paints gray. Okay, so that summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. Here is a closer. Okay, so keep the colors ready and let's give it a try. Okay, so let's start by adding the sketch. First, you need to add a sloping line to separate the sky and the meadow. So I'm starting that from here. Then I'm taking that to the top. Simply add a sloping line like this. Now on the top, we can add a mountain. It doesn't need to be a huge majestic mountain. Go for a simple one. That's a sketch. We have the sky, the mountain, and the Summary meadow. Now we can start with the sky. Just like I mentioned earlier, you will need two colors for the sky, Basel pink and intc. First, make sure you have these two colors ready on your palette, Basel pink and intc. Now, once you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the sky. Always apply a general coat don't add a lot of water. My sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. The first color I'm going to go with a intco. First, make sure your brush is clean. Now, pick a lighter tone of intco. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't need to be intco. You can go with any other blue of your chos, but go with a lighter. That's a tonal value. I'm going wet. Now, I'm going to randomly add this to the wet background. A little there, a little at the bottom. Onto the wet background, fran I'm laid dropping in some intco. No matter which blue I using, go in a similar way. So there are some gaps in between. Now onto those gaps, I'm going to introduce pink. So clean your brush and switch to the second color. Now, wherever you have those white spaces, introduce some pink. You can go the lighter tone or a medium tone. Simply drop in that paint. It will turn out really beautiful. Trust me. When the background dries up, it will look really soft and beautiful. Now there is nothing to worry. You simply adding pink on to the remaining area. You don't need to put a lot of effort in blending or smudging or anything. Just add that paint. At this point, your sky might not look very impressive, but trust me, the magic is about to happen. Be patient until it completely dries up. Now I'm going to pick a bit more paint. Then I will add that in between. Just to make some area more attractive. Let's add a little here. Then somewhere to the top and maybe to at the bottom. Wherever you want to add in some pink, you could do that. I'm not going to go back with indico. Whatever I have in the background is well anchored. We don't need to add them again. That's how the sky has turned out. I know it looks a bit messy, but don't worry. By the time it dries up, it is going to turn out really beautiful. So let's take a short break and come back when this has dried completely. There we go. You can see the calm and peaceful sky we have created. That's why I said earlier. At the beginning, it might look quite messy, but by the time it dries up, everything will look soft and beautiful. Now let's start with the Summary Mato, you will need yellow ochre, brown, and Pen screen. First, I will pick some yellow ochre, and I will add that along the top. Then as I come towards the bottom, I will introduce more taco tones. Go with any of your medium size brush. The one I'm using here is Size number eight, and I'm applying yellow ochre almost onto the entire area. I accidentally drop some paint onto the sky. Nover mind. Let's go back with the yellow ochre and apply that onto the background. Rating that sloping line, add the paint following that line. Next, with the same brush, I'm picking some brown, and I'll add that at the bottom. If you don't have brown, just go with burn cena. It's not a problem, and you don't need to go for a clean blend. Simply add that paint at the bottom, and also go toward the center. Now, with the same brush, I'm picking some paints gray, and I will add that along the bottom most area to introduce the deeper tones. So we have yellow ochre on the top. Then we have some brown, and towards the bottom, we have made the color much more darker. Now, I'm going to clean my brush, and I will pick some more yellow ochre. Then I will just match this area. So just like I said earlier, it doesn't need to be a clean blend. You can create some texture in the background by adding some medium tones and darker tones. We're going to add some grassy pattern onto the same background. So if we have more texture, it will look more beautiful and realistic. All we have some medium tones in between, some darker tones at the bottom. Now I'm going to keep this pressure side, and I'm going to go with a smaller brush. This is the one I'm going to use. It is size number two. Now I'm going to pick some pain screy and also some brown. Just create some taco tone of brown by adding some pain scray with brown or burn Sina. Now with that paint, we're going to add some grassy pattern onto the background. Focus majorly at the bottom part, where we have the medium tones and darker tones, and towards the top, closer to the mountain, we don't need a lot of patterns because that area is quite far and the grassy lines won't be visible. So just add a few over here. You can add more at the bottom, where we have the taco tones. Now keep adding those grassy line. Our background is still a bit wet. That's okay. You can go ahead and add them in. At the end, we will add some more grassy line when the background has dried up. For now, don't worry a lot. Simply add them using a smaller brush on a wet background. Make them nice and curvy. So yeah, go with the taco tone of brown and add some grassy pattern onto the anterior background. Until you're happy with the result. When you're adding them in the background, closer to the mountain, go with a metium tone or a lighter tone, and towards the bottom, you can make the color more taco. Let's add a few more. Okay, so I have added enough, and that's how it has turned out. Now, we have to wait for this to try before we go the next step. Okay, so the summery meadow has dried completely. Next, we can paint the mountain. For the mountain, I'm going to go back with intco. I'll use a slightly taker tone. Okay. So with my medium size presh I'm picking some intco. It is not too d and it is not too light as well. Go with a similar tonal value. Once you have the color, we can apply that onto the ante mountain. As you're applying intco on top of pink, the color will look slightly different, and that's totally fine. You can simply apply that onto the te mountain, following the outline. You can see the tonal value I'm going with. It is not too light. It's more on the darker side. Now carefully apply that onto the entire mountain. Towards the bottom, I'm going to make the color a little more darker. For now, simply apply that paint onto that shape we have there. Then towards the bottom, using a taco tone, we will introduce a grassy pattern. That is our next task. I'm picking some more indico with the same brush. Then I'm adding some teeny tiny lines along the horizon. We have tried the same technique for a few other paintings as well. It's the same thing. Go with any of your smaller brush and go with a taco tone of indico. Now simply add some teeny tiny lines close to each other. The simple detail will add a lot of realistic character to your painting. It is so much better than going for a straight line. Go with any of your smaller brush and keep adding some teeny tiny lines. They don't need to be perfect. Just keep adding them close to each other, and gradually it will create a pattern. Only at the bottom along the horizon, introduce this detail. Looks like the mountain has already started to dry. Never mind. Now, I'm going to go the slightly darker tone. The pattern I added, it's not really visible. So I'm just going to go for a daker tone, and I'm repeating the same step again. I'm quickly adding some tiny patterns. The same way I did earlier, that wasn't really visible. I had to do that again. This one is actually a very simple technique you can use in your paintings. Whenever you're adding details along the horizon. Instead of going for a straight clean line, you can introduce some tiny tiny lines. It will look like those grassy pattern far away, and it will surely have an impact on your painting. Yeah, next time when you're doing a painting on your own, instead of going for a straight horizon line, try this detail. Anyways, I'm turned with a step, but I'm not really happy because the color is looking like a separate patch. It hasn't really blended into the background. Because the color I applied for the mountain has dried up already, so I'm picking a medium tune again. And I'm smudging it to give it a better look. Initially, I wanted a medium tone on the top. Then towards the bottom, I wanted some more taco toon. That was my plan, but this one dried up. I have to introduce another layer to give it a better look. Then maybe I can add some more taco tones at the bottom. Anyway, let me quickly finish this and let's see how that's going to turn out. That's a mountain. I'm quite happy with the way it has turned out, but I want to add some more taco tone at the bottom, only at the bottom. I'm just adding some taco tones along the horizon, the rest, I'm retaining actus. We have the sky, the summery meadow, and the mountains. We're actually done with our painting. But if needed, you can add some more grassy pattern at the bottom, using a taco tone. I'm picking some paints gray. And I'm just adding few more lines using a taco toon. This one is completely optional. If you feel it is already looking decent enough, you can skip this step. For me, I wanted to add some more crisp lines. Earlier, we added them on a wet background, so the lines are not very crisp and perfect. That's why I thought of adding some more lines. Okay. I'm adding them only at the bottom. I won't be adding much towards the top. That's how it has turned out. Now I'm going to clean my brush. Now, there's one more thing that we can do, which is again optional. It is adding more grassy patterns using yellow ocher. So pick some yellow ochre on your smaller brush or any brush with a pointed tip. Now, add a few grassy lines at the bottom. This is just to give it more summary character. Right now, we have different tonal values. Only if you feel like, it's needed, you can go ahead and add some grassy pattern using yellow ochre. Otherwise, you can just completely skip this tip. I'm a huge fan of this brush. It's serving me well for the past two years. Ever since I have this brush, I love adding these grassy lines. I get nice curvy free hand lines using this one. I've tried many other brushes, but this is the only one that worked for me. So I keep it like a treasure. Anyway, this part is also done. I have added some more grassy lines using yellow ocher, and that's how our painting has turned out. I hope you all enjoyed it. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here's the finished painting. It's a beautiful color combination. I really like the Sumery meadow and the pink Pasal sky. They're going very well together. So if you guys have to try it, give it a try, and let me know if you liked it. 22. DAY 18 - Foggy Meadow: Oh. Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day, 18 of painting mini watercolor landscapes. Our painting for the day is a gorgeous meadow with a fence and to compliment the painting. We'll be adding some teeny, tiny white flowers. It's a beautiful painting with a beautiful process. So let's start by looking at the colors we will need. Then we can go straight into the process. The very first color you will need is indico, I'll using a really light tone of indico for the sky. You can see it's a very light tone. It doesn't need to be indico. You can go with any blue of your choices. You can even go with a lighter tone of gray if you want to create a moody sky. This one is Indigo from art philosophy, and that's my first color. Next, you will need a lighter green and also a medium green. For the lighter green, I will mix some lemon yellow with sap green, and that's the color you see here. If you have any other kind of lighter green, you can use it directly. We only need a little of this color to add along the horizon line. So that's a second color. Next one is Sap green, which is the medium green I'm going to use. It's a common color, so I'm guessing you all have it. This one is from Shinhan. Okay, so we have Indigo, a lighter green, which is a mix of Sap green and lemon yellow, and then we have Sap green actus. Now, the final color is paints gray. We'll use that color to add the deeper tones and also to paint the fence. Okay? So for this painting, you will need fur color, indico, lemon yellow, sap green, and paints gray. And I forgot, you will also need some white watcor or white case to add those tiny, tiny flowers. Okay, so that summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. It's a beautiful painting with a very limited color palette. So if you guys are ready with the colors, let's give it a try. For this painting, unlike the other ones we have tried, we need to add the sketch. First, I'm starting by adding a horizon line, which is almost to the center of my paper. Add a very light pencil line. Don't make it too dark. This is just for a reference. Next, we can start adding the fence. You can add the fence wherever you like and however you like. I'm going to go for a very simple one. I'm simply going to add some vertical lines and also some horizontal lines. Some of them can be taller, and some of them can be shorter. Also they can be leaning onto one of the side. Not all of them needs to be straight. Now I'm adding the horizontal lines. I have three verticals and two horizontals. Now on the other side, I will simply add two or three vertical lines, that's all. For now, you just need to locate them and indicate the positions. We can add the rest of the details, aspere painting. That's where the fence is going to be. For now, we just need to indicate the positions, you don't need to put a lot of effort. This is mainly for us to understand where we should put the darker tones. Now, just in case, if you want to add one more wooden post, we can add that aspere painting. That's how the sketches. Now we're about to start with the painting process. First, we will begin with a sky. Then we will go with the grains and we will paint the tire background in one single go. Keep all the colors ready on your palette. You will need some indico, some sap green, some lemon yellow, and paints gray. When you have them ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the tire background. As I always see, we just need a gentle coat, don't add a lot of water, and on your brush multiple times to be sure the coat of water is even. The background is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint, I'm going to go with a flat brush. The first color you will need is a lighter tone of indico or any blue or even gray. Now I'm applying that on the top. See that. Don't go with a taco tone, go with a medium tone or lighter tone. I'm applying that in a horizontal way. I'm almost reaching that horizon line. It's a simple sky. There is no clouds or no other details. We are simply applying an even tone of Itko. Next, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some grain. I have some lemon yellow here. I will mix that with grain to create a lighter tone. Now I'm going to apply that color right next to indico. Be sure the color you're going with is a lighter tone. Don't make it too dark. We'll make it darker as we approach the bottom. That's the tonal value I'm going with. It's a lighter tone. Apply it right where you have stopped indico. Then gradually, as you come down, pick more sap green, and add that at the bottom. We have a lighter green on the top. Now we're using sap green acids, and we're adding that onto the background. Okay. Now, I'm going to wipe of the excess amount of paint on a paper towel, and I'm picking some lighter green again. And I'm just adding a few lines over here to give it some texture. I'm not looking for a clean blend. Next, with some paint screen, I'm doing the same step at the bottom. I want to introduce some taker tones, only at the bottom. The top, I'm going to leave act. I just want some lighter tones there. I don't want any taker tones. I'm still using a flat rush. I think I should switch to a undreh. I'm picking my size number six unreh and I'm going to add some more greens into the background to create texture. Keep smudging the paint, it doesn't need to be a clean blend. All we need is some texture in the background, to make it look more natural and realistic. If it's a clean blend, we will have to introduce some grassy pattern. For this painting, I'm not adding any grassy pattern. I just want to create some texture there. There is no particular order or anything, simply dropping your taker tones onto the background. Now I'm picking some more daker toon and I'm adding that right where I have the fins. I want the sa to be more darker, so that it will be really nice when we add those white flowers. On either side, where we have the fins, I'm adding some taker toones. Now I'm dabbing my bush on a paper towel. And I'm smudging it. See that? It's not at all a clean blend. We are creating some texture in the background. I think it is turning out really pretty. I hope you guys are entering the process too. If you want to add some more tacotons at the bottom, you could do that, or maybe closer to the fence or wherever you feel like. Only retain those lighter tunes along the horizon. The rest is totally up to you. You can add more taker tunes or medium tones. It doesn't matter. But along the horizon, closer to the sky, we need some lighter tones. Now with the same brush to create more texture, you can add some tiny, tiny grassy pattern. It doesn't need to be too prominent. Use the same brush and the same color, and just add in some textures like that. You actually don't need to pick any new paint. You can just make use of the paint you have in the background, and just keep on adding some patterns like this. Just some lines close to each other. That's all. Keep in mind, they don't need to be too big and too prominent. All you have to do is add some tiny lines. See that. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip and keep adding these tiny lines onto the background. Mostly on to the area where you have taker tones. We're not going to add any more lines when the background has dried up. This is it. This is your time. If you want to create more texture and more character for your background, keep adding these teeny tiny lines wherever you feel like. I think I will add some more using a taker tone closer to the fence, and then we can call it tone. All this while, I didn't take any paint, but right now I have taken some darker green on my brush, and I'm adding some more teeny tiny lines on to the background. Okay. Mostly at the bottom, I'm not adding any on the top. We can add a few closer to the fence, and also at the bottom where we have those talker toons. But again, don't make it too prominent. They don't need to be too pig thick. Go for smaller lines. Okay, that's it. I think it's in a good shape. I don't want to add anymore. Now, we'll have to wait for this to try. Then we can paint the fence and add the teeny, tiny white flowers. All right, so the background has tried up completely. Next, we can start with the fence. For this step, the only color you will need is paint screen. So I'm starting with a medium tone of paint screen. We'll apply a medium tone onto these first. Then we can introduce a darker tone to give it more texture. Okay? Pick some paint screen on your medium size brush. The one I'm using here is size number six. I think I will start with a horizontal ones. Earlier, we had only added a line. Now we need to give it more thickness. So go with a medium tone and add a line like this. That's a one on the top. Now we have another one at the bottom. I'm adding that asp with the same tonal value. The color I'm using here is a medium tone of paints gray, and I'm introducing the shape first. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick a slightly darker tone, and I will simply add that onto this shape. Mostly at the bottom. So go with the tackle toone and introduce that here and there. This will create a texture. Okay. Now in a similar way, let's add some taco toone on the other one as f. The base layer is still wet, and when you're adding these taco toones, it will nicely spread and create a texture there. Okay. So just add some patterns and some sheeps using a taco toone. Okay. That's all you need for now. Let it dry. In the meantime, we can start with the left side. We have some vertical wooden posts on the other side. So I'm going back with a metium tone of paints gray. And then I will add the shape first. Then we can introduce the darker tones. So Go the irregular shape to make it look more natural. The color I'm using right now is a darker tone, so I'll pick some water, and then I will make the rest lighter. I will pick some more taker tone, and I'll add that at the bottom over here. Now let's go with the other one. You can either start with a medium tone and then add a new taker tones, or you can go the other way. You can add the taker toes first, and for the rest, you can introduce a medium toe. I'm adding the third one here. As I'm going away, I'm making them shorter. For now, I'm going to leave them acts, and I'm going back with a taco toone, and I will add the verticals on the other side. I'm picking a taco toone, and I'm going to add the verticles on the other side. That's the first part. Now the center, and then the top. The color I'm missing right now is a taco toe. Now in a similar way, let's add another one right next to that. Oh Add that as three parts, wherever you have the horizontal division, break it, and then add that on the top. I think there is space for one more. The color I'm using here, it is just one tone darker than the color I used earlier. It is not too dark. We will be adding some textures onto these using a darker tone when the layer has dried. Now I'm going to add the next one over here. If we use the same tonal value for the horizontal division and the vertical division, it won't have an impact. Try to go the color, which is one tone darker than the color we used earlier. That is the third one. Now, maybe we can add another smaller one towards a right. I feel there's some space over here. So I'm just adding a smaller one. Those are the wooden post. We have just added the shapes using a medium tone. We haven't added any textures or details onto this. That is our next task, but before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. That is d completely. Next, I'm going to go with a taco tone of p sc with my smaller brush. I'm picking the paint without adding much water, and then I'm dabbing it on a paper towel to create a dry paint. Now using that, I'm just going to add some lines and some textures onto these wooden post. I'm starting from the left. These are just simple lines and some textures. You can add them however you want to. Go with the smaller brush and try to stay within that shape. That's. The patterns and the textures doesn't matter. You can add them however you like. I'm just adding some lines and some tiny tiny shapes using that dry paint. It's a very small and simple shape. We don't need to add a lot. Just a few here and there, that's all we need. See that? Simply add some lines and some dry textures. Now we have a few more. Again, I'm picking some paint. And I'm adding some lines and some dry textures to give it more character. Don't add much water, C with a tri paint. If you feel your paint is watery, dab brush on a paper towel before you add these patterns, and also try to go with the taker to. Otherwise, it won't show up. You can see those patterns and the difference they need. It's a very simple detail. You can do this quickly. You don't need to think a lot, but it will instantly add a realistic character to your painting. Now we have one more left, and also the horizontal ones let's add similar patterns onto those as well. It's just a matter of adding some lines and some shapes and tri patterns onto that shape. It doesn't need to be perfect. You can simply add them. It's a quick task and a simple task. Don't skip it. It will really add a lot of beauty to your painting. That task is done. Now the next task is to add the flowers. We will add some flowers very randomly. For that, you will need either white quash or white watercolor. Squeeze out some paint onto your palette. We need an opaque paint. If you're using watercolor, don't add a lot of water, try to go the thick creamy paint. I have cleaned my brush. Now I'm picking some white paint with a smaller brush. Now, the flowers that I'm going to add onto the background, they are not well shaped. They are simple tiny dots. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip and keep on adding some teeny tiny dots close to each other to make it look like a group of flowers. First, I'm adding them closer to the fence, where we have those tucker tones. After this, I will add some onto the background as well. Just to give it a continuation, also to make it look like there are some flowers in the background. Just take some white paint. It can be either guage or white watercolor. Don't add a lot of water. You can see those white dots here, so they have to show up. If you add a lot of water, your paint will look transparent and that white color won't be prominent. No matter whether you're going with ga or watercolor, try to go with a thick and creamy version of the paint. Don't add much water. Now I'm going to add more flowers. You can see the way how I'm adding it. I'm just adding some teeny, tiny dots close to each other. I'm adding them as different groups. See that. That's a right side. Similarly, we have to add some flowers on the left side as well, and then some in the background. If you want to try a different color for the flower, maybe a purple or a yellow or a pink, you could do that. But to me, honestly, I think white would be the best color. Let's keep it simple and clean. But if you ask me, my next preference would be violet, a passel violet, you can just add some white watercolor or gage with a violet or purple, and you can use that color asple. A very light pastel violet, even that will look nice. Anyway, I'm going to continue with white, and I'm going to add some more flowers over here. Just like a sido, it is just a matter of adding some teeny, tiny dots close to each other. You can go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip. Then without lifting your hand, keep on adding these dots. That's all. I'm focusing mostly on the area closer to the fence and also the background. If you want to add some flowers at the bottom, you could do that. Now I'm going to quickly add some more flowers, and with that, we'll be done with this step. Oh Okay, so that is it. I'm done adding the flowers. Now, before I pull up the masking tape, I'm thinking of adding some birds on the sky. I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going with a medium tone of pain scray. Now I'm going to add some simple birds onto the right side. I think I will add four or five of them. See that? It's a very simple bird. You can add as many as you want. I'm just going to add a few using a medium tone of pain scray. It's not too dark. Next, I will add some smaller ones. Maybe we can add one more, and maybe another one. I'm going to add one more over here. I have simply added some birds onto the sky to make it a little more attractive. That's our painting for the day. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. All right. So here is the finished painting. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. I love the foggy effect and those little flowers. And I think the color combination is also really beautiful, especially those green textures, I really loved it, and even the fence. So if you haven't tied it yet, you know what to do, give it a try. And let me know if you liked it. 23. DAY 19 - Orange Sunset: Oh. Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 19 of painting mini acor landscapes. Our painting for the day is a gorgeous moody evening. We will do this painting as two steps. First, we will paint the background. We will start with a pastel orange, a pastel red, a muddy brown and some taco tones at the bottom. That's going to be the first step. Then when the base layer has dried up, we will add all the remaining details. That's how the process is going to be. Now let's take a look at the colors. The very first color you will need is a basal orange. What I'm doing here is I will make some white watercolor with orange to create a pastel orange. Okay. So go with any orange, it could be even vermalin, mix a little with white water color, and that's a color you see on the top. Here it is. If you have a pastel orange in your collection or any similar color, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix and create this color. Okay so that's the first one. Now, coming to the second color, it's a mix of red and the same orange. That's a color you see at the center. Into the same color, I have added some red, and that's a second color. So you will need a pasil orange, also a pasil red. Now, the next color you see over here is actually a mix of this color, and also a little of indico. So into this mix, I'm adding some indico. See that? If you make it more darker, the color will look more brownish. So we have some pasal orange on the top, then a pasal red at the center. Then towards the bottom. I'm using a grayish color, a muddy gray, and then towards the bottom, I will introduce some paints gray. For the tree sphal I'll be using paints gray. That is our final color. Okay. It's a beautiful moody evening, and the color palette is very interesting. We're going to paint the entire background in one C. Then we will come back and add the remaining details. That's how the painting is going to be. Here's a closer look of the colors. You will need white tic, orange, red, indigo, and paints gray. Okay, so keep all the colors ready on a palette and let's give it a try. First, make sure you have all the colors ready. We need orange and white, then red, then some intego and paints gray. You need these many colors on your palette before you start. We're going to paint the anterior background layer in one single go. When you have the colors ready, go with any of your clean white brush and apply a coat of water onto the anterior background and make it evenly wet. Don't add a lot of water. We just need a shiny coat. All right. My background is evenly wet. Now let's start applying the paint. This is the pressure I'm going to use at size number eight. Now, I'm starting with orange. I'm picking some white and I'm mixing it together. This one is brilliant orange. You can go with any orange you have caught. Now let's apply that color on the top. It's a very simple mix of orange and white. I have a similar color with me, but I thought of mixing and creating as most of you may not have this color. Apply some pasil orange on the top. The orange I'm using here is brilliant orange. You can go with any orange you have got. Next into the mix, I'm adding some red. Looks like it is too bright. I'm adding some white and orange. The colors might be slightly different according to the amount of red or white you're adding. That's totally fine. Just go the similar range. It can be a bit different. Next, I'm adding some intco into the same mix. I haven't cleaned my brush. Now I'm adding that paint at the bottom. So we have some orange on the top, then a pasel red. Now we used a muddy brown, which is a mix of pasal red and intco. I think the red is very less. I'm adding that again. Start with the pastel orange, then patel red, then into that pastel red, add some intco, and apply that towards the bottom. That's what we have done so far. Now I will fill up this remaining area in this muddy brown. Then gradually we can add more darker tones. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some more intco to make it more darker at the bottom. We need to introduce some textures and darker tones. Add more intco, and drop that onto the background, only at the bottom. Now we have to make it even more darker. For that, let's pick some paints gray, and we can add that at the bottom moost area closer to the masking tape. You can see how the colors are starting to get more darker and intense, and that is exactly what we need. We started off with a lighter orange. Then we introduce some red, then a muddy brown, and some taker tones now. Now, simply drop in some shapes and some random lines onto the background to create some texture. Do this only at the bottom. The rest can remain actus. Now, before we leave this for trying, there's one more thing that we have to do, which is adding some landscape in the background. You see that same muddy brown we created earlier. This time, it's a bit more darker. Now simply add some shapes over here. See that? They will look really blurry when the background dries out. Don't wait for a longer time. We need to add this when the background is still wet. At some places, you can make it shorter, and at some places you can make it higher. Towards either side, I'm making them a bit more higher compared to the center. Simply add a shape, while it is still wet. Now, if you want to add some more darker tones, you could do that right now while the background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time. Introduce some taker tones, wherever you feel like. That's how it has turned out. Now we have one more task left before we leave this for trying. O just adding a sun right at the center. Clean your bridge thoroughly, then dab it on a paper towel. Now go with some red paint. Just a little. Don't pick a lot of paint. If you feel like your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Okay. So take very little amount of paint on your brush. Now, right at the center, introduce a shape, go a bright red and simply add a shape over here. It doesn't need to be too pick. Then gentamuge it into the background. It doesn't need to be a perfect blend. Simply add some red paint over there, and it doesn't need to be in a perfect shape. Okay. On top of this, we're going to add a sun when the background has dried up. What we're adding right now is the glue around the sun. Simply add a shape like this with a brighter tone of red. When you're doing this, be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure and disturb the background layer. Use the tip of your brush and gently add some paint over there. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Now we can leave this for drying. That has dried completely, and it is looking so beautiful. Now our next task is to add the sun, have some left over paint here. It is just white waterc. You can go with white waterc or white case. Go with an opaque paint. Only if you feel it is too dry, you can add a drop of water. Now add a tiny circle at the center. Place your white circle on top of the red part. It has to be super tiny. Don't make it too. It has to stay within that red area. Okay. That's a glowy part and the sun. Beautiful right. Whenever I'm using Pasal colors for the sunset sky, I love to add a red glow and white sun. I feel it instantly add a lot of beauty to our painting. Anyway, that's how it has turned out. Next, we can start adding the trees around the sun. I'll clean my brush first. For the first few trees, we can go with a lighter tone or maybe a medium tone. I have some Pasal red there into the same mix. I'm adding some paints gray. Let's start with a grayish color, and for the rest of the trees, we can go for a darker tone. Now, I'm going to add the first tree over here. I'm starting by adding an irregular line, and I'm stopping it over here, where I have the darker tone, so that I don't need to show the roots and the remaining details. You can place your trees wherever you want to. It doesn't need to be in the exact same way. Start by adding an irregular line, go with that muddy brown first, and then stop your tree right where you have those taker tones. Now onto this, simply add some small branches. Try to go with any of your smaller brush to get the best result. The one I'm using here a size number six. It has got a really nice pointed tip. I can add these branches quite easily. But maybe I will go with a smaller brush at the end to add those tiny tiny branches. That's a tree trunk and the branches. Now onto this, I'm going to start adding the foliage. Simply keep on adding some dots using the tip of your brush and create a shape there. The color is a muddy brown or a muddy gray. You can go with any color of your choice. Preferably a medium tone. For some of the trees, we can work with a medium tone. Then for some, we can use a lighter tone to create that moody effect. If you use a darker tone for all the trees, you won't be able to feel any depth in your painting. It's really important to play with different tonal values, especially if you're trying to create a foggy atmosphere. For the rest of the branches, I will use my smaller brush. I'm picking the same color, and I will add some tiny branches. See that? You can add them wherever you want to. You don't need to follow the exact same shape or pattern for the tree. Add them wherever you want to. If you want to add some other tree, you could do that, maybe some pine trees or something else. Or you can just go with some empty branches. You don't need to add the foliage. Those things are totally your choice. As a teacher or an instructor. My intention is only to give you directions. You can use them however you like. Now I'm going to go with the next tree. Again, I'm adding an irregular line, and towards the bottom, I'm just merging it with my finger. I don't want to show the roots and the rest of the details. Now we can add some tiny, tiny branches. It's the same color. It's that muddy brown. For these two trees, I have used a medium tone. I will add some more foliage here. Then I will add one more tree on the left. We have added one tree with foliage and one with only empty branches. Now I'm going to add another one towards the left. I have taken some water on my brush. Now for this, I will use a lighter tone of the same color we used earlier. See that? This one is much more lighter than the previous one. Now we can add some branches. Try to play with different tonal values to create that foggy effect in your painting, and also de create a depth. You can see the color I use right now. It is much more lighter than the color I used earlier. Now with the same, I will add another one here. I think I should have started with this color, then moved to a medium tone. Anyways, I will just add it now, better late than never. Now I'm adding the foliage. Now, for the next one, I think we can go for a darker tone. We use a lighter tone as well as a medium tone. Now we can add one or two trees using a darker tone. That's our next task. I'm thinking of adding a bigger tree towards the left side, right next to this one. But take a look at your painting. Wherever you feel, there's a lot of gap, you can add a tree over there. I'm picking more paints gray, and I'm making the color darker. Then I'm starting by adding an irregular line. And I'm stopping the line when I'm touching those darker toones. Okay. Now onto this, we can start adding the branches. Go with any of your smaller brush to get the right result. Otherwise, they will go out of proportion. We can add a few more branches, then we can add the foliage. These are very thin delicate branches, add them in a similar way. I'm extending that a bit down into the darker tones so that I don't need to show the roots and the rest of the details. Now let's continue adding the branches on the top. Now on to the foliage. Simply keep on adding some tiny, tiny dots and patterns using your brush, preferably a smaller one. Don't lift your hand, just keep on adding them. When you keep on adding those patterns close to each other, it will end up looking like the folate. Go ahead and add them in. In the future, if you're trying a similar painting, maybe interrupt this tree, you can go for pine trees. Even that will be really nice. You can create a moody atmosphere with some pine trees, maybe with a different color combination. That's how it has turned out. I think we can add one now branch towards the left, a slightly longer branch. I think with that, we can call it done. I'm picking some more paint to add another branch. I will add that over here. There's a lot of space here. Add a nice long branch onto any side you prefer. Now onto this, I'm adding the foliage. This one is going to be my last tree. But if you want to add another one, you could do that. That's not a problem. Take a look at your painting. Wherever you fail, there's a lot of gap, you can introduce one more tree using a medium tone or a lighter tone. That's our painting for the tree. If you want to, you can add some birds, maybe a group of small birds flying away. Anyway, now it's time to peel up the masking tape. And so finished painting. It's a beautiful color combination, and I think it turned out really beautiful as well. I hope you all liked it. My favorite part is that glowing sun. So yeah, if you haven't tried it yet, give it a try and let me know if you liked it. Okay, so thank you so much for joining me today. I'll be back here soon with our next landscape. 24. DAY 20 - Rainbow Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 20 of painting mini aticor landscapes. Our painting for the day is a beautiful rainbow sky. We'll be using four colors for the sky. I don't think we have used these many colors in any of the sky so far. Anyways, let's have a quick look at them. The first color I have used for the sky is blue. This one is the blue from Car. You can go with any blue of your choice. It can be prussian blue, Cabal blue, ultramarine blue, or any other blue. Or you can just keep blue and use violet asphal. So that's the first color you will need. We'll be using that on the top of the sky. Now, after blue, we will use rose for the sky. The one I have used here is permanent rose from Shinhan. This is the one I will be using. If you don't have rose, you can use crimson or carmine or any other similar color. You can also use Opera rose. It will make the sky more dramatic and bright. So that's a second color. Now, after rose, the next color you will need is orange. This one is brilliant orange. You can go with any orange you have caught. Or you can just add some yellow with vermin or scarlet to create a similar color. Okay. So we have blue, rose, orange. Now, the last color you will need is yellow. We'll only use a little of yellow to make the sky more interesting. It can be any yellow, primary yellow, or gambollo, or any other yellow. This is the orange and yellow I'm using, brilliant orange, and cadmium yellow light. Okay, so those are the four colors you will need for the sky. An blue of your choice, rose or crimson, orange, and then finally a yellow. Now, there are two more colors you will need for this painting, which is sap green for the meadow and for the landscape. And then for the darker tones and final detailing, you will also need some paints gray. So this was sap gray. It's again from Shinhan. Now, the final color you will need is paints gray. If you don't have paints gray, just go with plaque. We'll be using that to add the deeper tones. That summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need four colors for the sky, a blue of your choice, rose, orange and yellow. Then for the meadow and the landscape, you will need sap green and paints gray. Keep all the colors ready on your palette, and let's give it a try. Alright, so let's start. Our sky for the day is a bright, colorful sky. So to begin with, I'm adding a line, the horizon line to separate the sky and the mid. Okay. Now we'll have some landscape over here. You can just go for a simple sketch like this for now. We can alter the shape later as to painting. Okay, so that's a sketch. Now we'll start with blue, then rose, then orange, and some yellow over here. So I'm hoping you have all the colors ready on your palette. We need all these colors for the sky. So here's the blue I'm going to use. Then I have permanent rose, orange, and some yellow. I have all the colors ready. Now, I'm going to start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Apply a nice even at of water. Make sure the water has reached everywhere. My sky is evenly wet. Now let's start applying the colors onto the sky. To apply the paint, I'm going to use a round presh this s is size number eight. First I will clean it. I'm going to start with a medium tone of blue. The one I'm using here is Theil blue, go with presim blue or any other blue of your choice. Now, apply that on the top of the sky. We can add a bit more. Okay, so that is blue. Now I'm going to clean my brush. And I'm going to go with my second color, which is permanent rose. If you don't have permanent rose, you can use crimson or carmine or any kind of rose color. Okay. Now let's clean the brush I can. Maybe we can add in some more rose, a brighter tone. Okay, so we have applied blue and rose, and we have blended there. Now let's clean the brush and go with orange. This one is brilliant orange. I'm adding that over here, leaving some gap at the center, and over there, I'm going to introduce some yellow. You can see the way I have left some cap. Over there, we can add yellow. Let's clean the brush and go the last color which is yellow. For this sky, we are using four colors. We started off with blue, then rose, orange, and now yellow. My paint is a bit ottery, so I'm tapping it on a paper towel, and I'm gently smudging them to give it a better blend. That is the base layer. Now, I'm going to keep this brush aside, and I will go with a smaller brush. This one is size number six. First to make sure it is clean. Now, to add the clouds, I'm going to go with a purple color. I'm going to mix and created. So I'm picking some rose, and I'm adding that with blue. Okay? Now, using that color, I'm going to randomly add some clouds onto the sky. Mostly on the top. If your paint is do watery, dab it on a paper towel before you start. Now, add your clouds, however you want to. As I mentioned, I will be adding them mostly on the top, where I have blue and rose. I won't be adding much towards the bottom, where I have orange and yellow. Because violet and orange and violet and yellow, they are complimentary colors. If you use violet or purple over orange and yellow, they will end up creating a muddy color. That's why I'm focusing more on the top part. Maybe we can add a bit towards the bottom, not so much. Only on the orange to give it a continuation. I'm picking a little more paint, and I'm adding some small clouds over here, and that's it. Now I'm going to add a few on the top. On to the blue area. I'm loving the colors and the blend. Now, how will at your painting? If you want to add some more clouds, you could do that. But try not to add any on to the bottom where you have yellow, leave it acid is. You can add some more on the top or maybe over here where you have orange. Okay. I'm not adding much here. I just wanted to give it a continuous look. That's all. All right. That's how the sky has turned out. I'm very much impressed. Now let this dry. In the meantime, we can start with the meadow. I will clean my bigger brush. And I'm going to use sap cream. Pick a metium tone of sap green on your brush and apply that onto the entire area. O while you're applying the paint, leave a tiny cap in between the sky and the meadow so that the paint won't smudge into each other. Go with the similar tonal value. I think I accidentally touch the sky. Now, some yellow is coming onto the green. Never mind. I will just pick a paper towel and I will pick it off. Because anyway, I'm going to add some landscape over there, so it's not going to affect the painting. Okay. Now I'm going to apply paint again. So go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. Now with the same rush, I'm going to pick some paints gray to add the deeper tones. You can pick some green and mix that with paints gray to create a darker green. Now, I'm going to apply that at the bottom over here. And also I will add a few lines onto the green part. Just to give it some texture. I'm not going to add any grassy patterns or anything. I will only add these darker tones and that's it. First apply a medium tone off sap green onto the entire area. Then go the darker tone. You can apply that at the bottom. And also you can add some lines onto the background to give it some texture. So the sky and the meadow is ready. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go the landscape. That has dried completely. The colors are looking really beautiful. Now the next task we have is to paint the landscape along the horizon. And for that, you will need three colors. At the center where we have yellow, we will use a lighter green. Then for the rest, we will use sap green and paints gray. I'm going to start with Sareen. Go with a medium tone, don't add a lot of water. Now, first, I will add a line. See that? It's a simple straight line. Then gradually, I will give it a proper shape. Okay. I'm just adding some paint on either side. I'm not adding much at the center where I have yellow. So I'm focusing on either side now. Towards the center, I want to introduce a lighter tone. For now, I have just added a basic shape. Now I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm picking some yellow. The same yellow I use for the sky, and I will mix some green with it to create a lighter green. Now over here, I'm going to add that lighter green, only at the center, where I have yellow in the background. On either side, I'm going to make the green more darker and only at the center, I will introduce a lighter green. This is just to make it look like the sunlight is hitting on those trees or plants. Only at the center, go with the lighter tune, and then on the top, add in some tiny tiny patterns to make it look like leaves. Now I'm going to continue with sacrem. I will add that at the bottom. Only on the top, I want to retain that lighter tune. Towards the bottom, I will introduce more taco tone. Next, I'm picking some paints gray. I'm going to add that onto the extreme sides. We can add some on the top in between and also at the bottom. Simply keep on adding some dots and some sheets onto that background and smudge it into the green. Only at the center, you ret in those medium tones. On either side, we can add more taco tones. Keep on adding that paint, and making it higher on either side to make it a bit more interesting. Now, I'm adding some ten tiny shapes on the top, to at the bottom as well. I'm adding some broken lines. See that. At the bottom, you can keep on adding those teeny tiny lines. Like how we did for the other paintings. It doesn't need to be perfect. You don't need to put a lot of effort. While you're adding those darker patterns, along with that, add some teeny tiny lines, that's all. This side is nearly done. You can see those different tonal values and the weight is looking. Similarly, I'm going to continue adding those darker toons, as well as those lines at the bottom. Now, let's continue till the other end. Over here, the paint has dried. Never mind, we can fix it. We can come back with some sap cream and smudge it again. In a ways, we are not looking for a clean blend. We want a textury background, so we can keep on adding a paint even when it has dried. Okay. First of all, add these lines over here. You can see how quickly and carelessly I'm heading them. As I said, it doesn't need to be perfect. Now I'm cleaning my brush, and I'm going back with green Sap green. Now with green, we are going to smudge this. Simply run your brush over those taco patterns and smudge it. In my case, it has dried completely. If yours hasn't dried yet, you don't need to do this. You can see the way how it has turned out. I'm gently smudging those patterns to give it a better look. We can add some more taco patterns at the bottom. But on the top, retain those medium tones and lighter tones. Only at the bottom, you can introduce darker tones, and also on either sides. But at the center where we have yellow in the background, retain those lighter tones. Now, I'm going to go back with some more paint screen, and I'm going to introduce some taco tones on either side. And also I will give it a better shape. I think I can make it a bit more higher on the left and right. That's what I'm going to do next. With the same brush, I'm picking some more paint, and I will alter the shape on the extreme sides. This one is completely optional. I just wanted to make this area higher. I'm just adding some more paints gray, and on the top, I'm adding some tiny patterns to make it look like leaves. Similarly, I will do the same on the other side as well. Okay. Be adding any paint at the bottom or the center. I'm leaving it assts. I'm quite happy with the weight as turned out. I'm adding these taker toones only on either side to give it a better shape. In a similar way, I'm adding some taker toones on the left asph. It's a really beautiful sky. Maybe you can try the same on a bigger scale. If you're trying it on a bigger scale, maybe you can add some more details on the meto. We haven't added any grassy pattern or anything. We simply added some taco toones on a green pack ground, but maybe you can go for some grassy patterns. Also you can add some birds on the sky to make it more interesting. Okay, so that's all for the day. We had done with our rainbow sky. It was a really quick painting. I hope you all enjoyed it. Give it a try if I get to try it. I'm very sure you're going to love it. If you want to make the sky more dramatic, you can add more clouds or can just go for a blend of four colors without any clouds. Anyways, let's take off the masking tape and have a closer look at the painting. All right, so here's our painting for the day. It's a beautiful sky. I think the composition is really beautiful. I smudged some paint on this side. But other than that, I'm really happy with the painting. If you get to try it, do give it a try. I let me know if you liked it. Oh. 25. DAY 21- Beach Sunset: Hello, friends. Welcome to day 21 of painting many at coor landscapes. Our painting for the day is a quick seascape. My favorite part about this painting is the color combination. So let me introduce you to the colors first. For the sky, I will be using three colors, two colors for the base layer, which is silo blue from Sen. And then John Brilliant number two from Shinhan. This one is nothing but a Pasal orange. You can see the pigment number here. P O means orange pigment, and PW means white pigment. So it is nothing but a simple Pasal orange. I can show you how to create that color. All you have to do is just add some white watercolor with any of the orange you have got. You should add more white and less orange in the mix. It can be any orange. Okay, so let's write out. I already have some orange on my palette. Now, I'm squeezing out a little white watercolor. Now let's try mixing them together. You can go to any orange you have got, pick a little, just a little. Now with the same sh, pick some white vertic and mix them together. See that. It looks 100% same to the other color. See that. All you have to do is just mix some white vertic with any of the orange you have got. You should only be adding a little of orange and more white. Now, according to the orange you're using, the color can be a little different, which is totally fine. We just need a pasal orange. Now, I'm going to swatch out John Brilliant number two. You can see how similar they are looking. They are almost the same. That's the first color you will need for the sky. Now, along with that, you will also need a blue. The blue I'm going to use a salu blue from senilar. You can go with any blue have card. It could be Precim blue, cobal blue, ultramarine blue or any other blue. We need a medium toe for the sky as well as for the sea. That's our second color. Now, to add the clouds, you will need a Daco blue. I wanted to work with minimal colors. I thought of mixing some paints gray with thalo blue. If you have some indico on your palette, you can use it directly. It doesn't need to be a mix of paints gray and alo blue. Just by mixing these two colors, you will get a color which is very similar to intc. See that? That's a color I will be using for the clouds. You can see the color. It is so much similar to Intego. If you have some indico on your palette, use it directly, or you can mix some paint scree with any of the blue you are using for the sky. Paint scree the next color you will need. We'll also be using this color for the grassy land to add the darker toons. So for the sky, you will need a pastel orange, teal blue or any other blue, and also some paints gray. Now for the grassy land, you will need yellow ochre, and also some sap green. For the grassy land, the color you see on the top, it's a mix of sap green and yellow ochre. As you're painting an evening scene, I don't want to use bright and bold greens. I want a dull green for the background. That's why I thought of mixing some yellow ochre with sap green. Okay. Maybe I can quickly show you how to mix and create that color. So pick some yellow ochre and mix that with Sap green. This mix will give you a beautiful green, which is more like olive green. See that? Now, that's a color I'll be using for the grassy land. Along with this, I will also use some sap green and also paints great to add the deeper toons. Okay, so that summarise all the colors you will need for today's painting. It's a really quick and a beautiful painting. So yeah, keep all the colors ready on your palette. You can pre mix basal orange to make the process easier. Okay, so quickly keep all the colors ready on your palette, and let's give it a try. Okay, I'll start. I have my paper and the colors ready here. Now, I'm going to start by adding the sketch. It's not a complicated sketch. You just need to add a line, which is the horizon line? I'm going to add that over here. First, add a straight line, a little below the center of the paper. Now, right below that, add another line. This time, it's an irregular line, not a straight one. Simply add an irregular line like this. Okay. So the space in between is the sea, and the bottom is the grass. Okay, so that's a sketch. We have the sky, a little of sea in between and a grassy land. Now, we already had a look at the colors. You will need a blue and also a pasil orange for the sky. This is the one I'll be using. So have my colors ready on my palette. So I'm going to start by applying a coat of water on to the entire sky. A nice gentle coat of water. Don't add a lot. We only need a shiny coat. The sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the colors. Just like I mentioned D, you will need a blue and a basal orange for the sky. Now the pressure I'm going to use here is a flatbsh. I'm starting off with a medium tone of blue. This one is thalo blue. You can go with any blue you have caught. It doesn't need to be thalo blue. It could be cobalt blue, Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, or any other blue of your choice. Now using my flat brush. I'm applying that on the top of the sky. Go the similar tonal value, don't make it too light. I've applied blue almost half of the sky. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I will make it lighter over here. We have a mete tone on the top, and I have made it lighter towards the bottom. I think the top part can be a bit more brighter. So I'm adding some more paint only on the top and towards the bottom, I'm going to retain that lighter tones. That is blue. Now we can go the second color, and for that, I'm using a smaller brush. Make sure your brushes clean. Now, pick up that beautiful pastel orange and apply that along the horizon line. See that. That's the color I'm using. You can simply mix some orange with white wacor and create a similar color. It's a beautiful color to use for soft basal skies. Simply add that paint onto the sky. You don't need to put a lot of effort in blending. Just add some lines and leave it acts. Because right over here, we're going to add some clouds, so it doesn't really matter whether it's a clean blend or not. That's a base layer. Now onto this, I'm going to add some clouds using a darker tone. Into blue, I'm adding some paints gray to make it look more like indico. That's a lot dark. I need to add more blue into the mix. This color is more like indico. If you have indigo on a palette, you can use it directly. Here is the mix I have created. It's very much like indico. Now, if you paint is two wattle, dab it on a paper towel before you start adding the clouds. Now let's start. Right over here where we have orange and blue. I'm going to add the clouds using a medium tone. I'm just adding some big shapes over here. I'm adding that till the other end. If your paint is watery, always dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, it will spread a lot, and it will be very difficult to control the way is spreading. I'm adding only one big cloud. See that. Start from either left or right and spread it across the sky. I want a soft peaceful sky. I don't want to make it too dramatic. I'm just adding one big cloud and maybe a few smaller ones around it, but I'm not adding too many clouds. Now when they dry up, they will look really beautiful. I'm nearly done. I think I will quickly smudge the colors to give it a bit more softer look. See that? I'm being very gentle when I'm smudging the paint. Don't put a lot of pressure. I'm just trying to give it a softer and a better look. Okay, so that's my sky. I'm really happy with the colors and the weight as turned out. It's a soft, peaceful sky. Our next task is to paint the sea, but before that, we have to wait for this to dry. The sky has dried completely, and you can see how soft and beautiful it has turned out. Our next task is to paint the sea. And for that, I'm going to go back with the same blue, Telo blue, which I use for the sky. I will start with a metium tone, and I will apply that onto the NTC first. Then using some darker blue, I will add some textures and details. Go the same blue which you have used for the sky. I'm using a similar tonal value like this. Now I'm applying that on to the t C, using a smaller brush. The horizon line has to be straight. Be a bit careful when you're adding paint along the horizon. We need a straight line here. Now towards the bottom, we have an outline there. Follow that line and fill up some blue inside that space. The blue I'm using here is Theil blue from senalar. You can go with any blue of your choice. Go with the medium tune. Don't make it too dark or too light. Also, as it's a smaller space, I would recommend going with a smaller brush when you're adding the paint. The brush I'm using here is size number six. Okay, so the base layer is ready. Now, the same brush, I'm going to pick a darker blue. I already have it there on my palette. It's a mix of paint scra and kilo plue. It is the same mix I used for the clouds. Now I'm adding some lines onto the sea, using that taco tone. My paint is a bit watery, so I'm dabbing it on a paper towel, and then I will add the lines again. We don't need a lot of lines. We only need a few here and there. We only have a little space in between. So be very careful when you're adding the lines. Don't add a lot. Now, just like I said earlier, if you have indico on your palette, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix blue and paints gray. Okay. That's a C. First, we applied a layer of alo blue. Then on top of it, we added some lines using a darker blue. Now we'll have to wait for this also to dry before we go the next step. Okay. Now it's time to go the final step, which is painting the grassy land. For that, I need a dull green and to create that green, I'm going to mix some yellow ochre with sap green. So I'm picking some yellow ochre and sap green, and I will mix them together to create that color which is more like olive green. If you have olive green, you can use it directly, or you can simply mix a yellow ochre sap green. See that. That's a major color I will be using for the grassy land. Then along with that, I will also use some sap cream and also some paints great to introduce the darker tones. Mix some yellow ocher and sap cream together. And add that on to the top part of the grassy land. As we come towards the bottom, I will introduce more medium and darker grain. For now, simply add the paint onto the background. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. We are trying to create some texture here, so you can add the paint however you like. Now I'm adding some sap cream on top of it. See that. Start with the color, which is more like willow green. Then you can add some sap green in between. That's what I have done on this side. Similarly, I have to apply paint on the other side as well. Go back with a mix of yellow ocher and sap green, and I will add that over here. Then gradually towards the bottom, I will add some sap green and also some darker green. Okay. So that's a top part. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some sap cream. And I will add that at the bottom. You can just keep on pushing and pulling the pains into the background and create a textury background. It doesn't need to be a perfect blend. Okay. Now I'm going to keep this brush aside. With my size number six on brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray, and I will mix that with Sap green to create a darker green. We just need a darker green. You can either mix indico or paints gray with sap green. Now, I'm going to add that towards the bottom part of the grassy land. See that. Simply drop in that paint onto the background. Just like I said earlier, it doesn't need to be a proper perfect blend. But my background has almost dried up. With my other brush, I'm picking some sap green, and I will smut it a little. Otherwise, it will stay as it is like some rough patches. Smart it with a bigger brush if your background is drying out. Now let's add some more tucker tones. Add them mostly at the bottom, and towards the top, retain that olive grain. Simply push and pull some paint into the background to create some textures in between. And that's it. That's how the background has turned out. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some grassy pattern to give it a better finish. Now, just in case if you don't want to add those grassy pattern, that is totally fine. I think we already have enough textures there, so the grassy pattern is completely optional. Anyway, I thought of adding a few in between to give it a more complete look. With a darker tone, I'm just adding some grassy patter. There are just some rough lines. I'm not putting a lot of effort, and I'm adding some free hand curvey lines to introduce more texture. These lines I'm adding right now, it's not very visible as I'm using a medium tone. I think I will have to go with a tucker tone. Let's pick some daker tone, and we can add in some more patterns. There's just some free hand cove lines, nothing complicated here, and they don't need to be perfect. My background is still a little wet. O which is completely fine. I'm not looking for crisp and well detailed lines. I just want some texture in the background. That's all. I have added enough using a medium tone. Now towards the bottom, I think I should go with a daker toon. Otherwise, it won't be visible. So with the same reh, I'm picking some more paints gray, and I'm mixing that with green. Now I'm going to add some more grassy line only at the bottom. The rest is looking quite nice. Now you can clearly see them. Earlier, they weren't really visible. See that? Simply add some free hand curve lines. It can be in any direction. But try to go the smaller brush or a brush with the pointed tip so that you can add them very nicely. See that? Beautiful, right. I'm really loving the color combination. Whenever I'm painting evenings, I always love to go with ol green rather than bright green and sap green. I think those colors instantly brings out that evening mode in the painting. To be honest, my favorite thing about this painting is obviously the color combination. I'm really loving it. Anyway, I will quickly add some more grassy lines, and then we can call it. To me, the color combination and even the composition is giving me a summer beach holiday vibe. I really like the sky as well. Anyways that's our painting for the day, I hope you guys are happy with the way has turned out. The basal orange and blue, they both are going very well together. It's a gorgeous color combination to paint a peaceful sky. So give it a try if I get to try it. Let me know your thoughts about it. All right. Now it's time to peel up the masking tape. And here is our gorgeous beach landscape for the day. I hope you all loved it. Okay, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next mini vertical landscape. 26. DAY 22 - Cloudy Blue Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to another day of painting many vertical landscapes. Our painting for the day is a gorgeous blue, cloudy sky in meadows and mountains. It's a quick landscape, which you can finish in less than 15 minutes. So as usual, let's start by looking at the colors we will need. The first color you will need is a blue. The one I'm going to use here is cillin blue. If you don't have seran blue, you can go with Cobal blue, ultramarine blue, prussian blue, or any other blue. So that is the first color you will need. Now, along with that, I'll also be using one more color for the sky. O the pain scre. We will need a lighter tone of paint screen to add the shadow for the clouds. That's the second color you will need for the sky. A blue and paint screen. Now the next major color you will need for this painting is green. I'll be using sap green for the meadow, as well as for the mountain. Okay. So the next color is sap green. Now, to make the green lighter. Now along the top part of the meadow, I will need a lighter tone, and to create that color, I'll be adding some lemon yellow with sap cream. So that is our next color. On the top, we will use a lighter green, and towards the bottom, we will make it lighter. If you have a lighter green with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix lemon yellow and sap cream. Now there is one more color you will need, which is Indico. For the background mountain, I'll be using a mix of cerlian blue and intco, then for the Fucron mountain, Ave sap cream and also Indico. Okay, so that summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need a blue of your choice, then paints gray, soap cream, lemon yellow, and intco. Okay, so keep all the colors ready on your palette and let's give it a try. Okay, so let's start with the sketch. For this painting, you will need to add two sets of mountain, one in the background, and one in the foreground. So first, I will add an irregular line to show the meadow. And now we can start with the first mountain. This is the one in the fue ground. Now I'm adding another one here, a shorter one, that's in the foe ground. That's a sketch. We need two sets of mountain and an irregular line to show the meadow. The sketch is ready. Now I'm hoping you have the colors ready on your palette. For the sky, you will need blue and paints gray. It can be any blue. Now when you have the colors ready on your palette, you can start applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. We only need a shiny coat of water. Don't add a lot. I'm leaving out the mountains and I'm adding water only on the top. Okay, so the sky is evenly wet. Now, to apply the paint, I'm going to use my fi number six strong brush. First, make sure your brush is clean. Now, I'm going to start with the medium tone of blue. So We blue you're using. Start with the medium tone. Painting a sky can be a bit t rocky for beginners. So I would recommend giving it a watch before you attempt it. I've taken some blue on my brush. Now, as I'm applying the paint, I'm going to leave some shapes in between, which are going to be the clouds. See that. Go with any of your medium size brush and while you're applying the paint, leave some shapes in between. Now I'm going to leave another one at the bottom. This one is a very small paper, so we don't need a lot of clouds. We only need one or two bigger ones, or a few smaller clouds, that's it. Okay. So try to co a smaller brush or a medium size brush. This way you have better control on the way you're adding the paint. If it's a bigger brush, all the sheaves will end up becoming too big. I have cleaned my brush. Now, I'm going to go with a lighter tone of paints gray, a really lighter tone. So add enough water and turn that into a lighter tone. So that's a kind of tonal value we have to go with. Now, along the bottom part of the shape, add some shadows, using a lighter tone of paints gray. You have to do this really quick while the background is still wet. Now, let's do the same thing for the other shapes we have left there. Over here, also, I need to add some shadows. See that. Only when you add the shadows, your clouds will look three dimensional. Otherwise, it will look quite flat. You can see the inst difference those shadows made. If you want to make it more prominent, you can add some more shadows. I'm adding some more paints gray along the bottom. See that? Let's do the same for the other ones. You have to be real quick and add the shadows while your background is still wet. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. We have done a beautiful cloudy sky. So when you're adding the paint, you will have to leave some shapes in between, O, which are eventually going to turn into clouds when we add the shadows. Okay. It isn't that complicated, but if you're trying it for the first time, it might be a bit rocky. Now, let the sky drise. In the meantime, I'm going to start with the meto. To apply the base layer, I will use my bigger brush. This one is size number eight. Now I'm going to start with sap cream. Let's pick a medium tone of sap cream. Let's apply that onto the background. Okay. So Right now, the color I have used a sap green. Now into this, I'm going to add some lemon yellow to make it lighter. I'm going to add that on the top. See that. So add an irregular line on the top and introduce some lighter green. Okay. Now we have to drop in more taker tones, especially at the bottom. And for that, I'm picking some paints gray. To get a better control, I will use my smaller brush. I'm picking some paint scream, mixing that with sap cream, and I'm going to add that at the bottomost area closer to the masking tape. Simply drop in that onto the background to create some darker tones and textures. Do this while the background is still wet. Simply drop in some darker tones here and there and smudge that into the background. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. Those lines can stay actus. We're only trying to create some texture here. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. Now with the same brush, I'm going to add some grassy pattern to give it some more textures and character. They don't need to be perfect. Simply add some lines onto the background, some free hand lines. The brush I'm using here is size number six. It has got a pointed tip. So I don't think I need to switch to a smaller brush. But if you prefer going with a smaller brush, you could do that. Maybe size number two or even zero. I'm not picking any new paint. I'm just making use of the paint in the background. I'm simply pushing that to the top and I'm creating these grassy patterns. See that? We need them only at the bottom. You can leave the top at actus. I feel like the color could have been a bit more lighter towards the top. Right now, it looks like sacren. It doesn't look like a lighter green. Anyway, there is no going back. Yeah, I'm going to continue adding the grassy pattern. I'm picking some more taco toon, and I will add a few more only at the bottom. The top part is kind of okay. We don't need a lot of patterns over there. So just add a few more at the bottom, and then we can leave it for trying. Okay, so the sky and the meadow has dried completely. Next, we can paint the background mountain. I'll clean my brush first. Now I'm going to go with a mix of cerliin blue and a bit of indico. The reason why I'm not using indico actus because I want the color to be a bit more brighter. If I use indico actus, it will be a more dull and Daco blue. That's why I'm adding some cerliin blue with this. That's a kind of color I'll be using for the mountain. Now, I'm going to apply that onto this tA mountain, following that outline. Se that. Simply follow the outline and fill that in with the color you have created. You can also use ultramarine blue for the mountain if you want to make it look more blush. That's a background mountain. Now, before we go with the Focron mountain, we'll have to wait for that to dry. But in the meantime, I think we can add some more grassy pattern onto the meadow. I feel those patterns are not at all visible. So I'm going with some paints gray. I'm only adding a few patterns at the bottom, using that taco tone. This step is completely optional. Or if you want to add some more grassy pattern, you could do that. Otherwise, I can just ignore the step. Okay. I will add a few more towards the left, then I will leave it for trying. Whenever you're following a tutorial, you don't need to follow each and every step your instructor is doing. You can take your own decisions and change your painting according to the way you like. Okay. So I've added some more grassy pattern over here. I think it made it look better. Earlier, it was looking a bit incomplete. Yeah, that is done. Now, the only task remaining is to paint the fo ground mountain. Before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. Okay. Now it's time to paint the Fu ground Mountain. That's the only thing left. For this, I will use indigo and sap green. Okay? Now I'm going to make some indigo and sap green together to create a darker green. We can add some more intco to make it more darker. Now, I'm going to apply this darker tone on the top part of the mountain in a very random way. Then gradually I will add some sap green as well to create more texture. Right now, the color you see is a mix of sap green and intco. I'm adding that on the top part of the mountain. I'm simply fooling the outline we have there, and I'm adding that darker tone. See that? Just randomly add that in. Now, clean your brush and go with sap green. And apply that on to the background. See that. We have a dakoton on the top. Now we're using sacren acid is. Now, towards the bottomost area. We have to introduce that daker green again. But before that, I will squeeze out some sacren onto my palette. I don't have any pain left. The paint. Now I'm going to go back with Sac. I will add some more paint. I feel what I have added is really light. There wasn't enough paint on my palette. Okay. So I started off with a Daco green, which was a mix of indico and Sabcren. And right now I'm using Sab grin actus. Now, towards the bottom line, I want to introduce a Daco too, so I'm picking some more indico. Mixing that with green. No, I'm gently adding that along the bottom line of the mountain. Otherwise, you won't be able to differentiate between the meadow and the mountain as the colors are almost the same. Along the bottom line, add some lines and some tiny, tiny patterns. Then smudge that into the background. See that. We're just trying to create some texture here. It doesn't need to be a perfect plant. Add a Daco toon fooling that outline of the meadow. Then drag your brush towards the top and smudge it into the background. That's all we need. We just need some greens in between and some darker tones as well. Now if you want to modify the shape of your mountain, you could do that right now. Over here, I'm thinking of making it a bit more higher. The rest is looking quite fine. So, take a look at your painting, if you want to drop in some more darker tones. O if you want to modify the shape of your mountain, you could do that right now. That's how my painting has turned out. My favorite part about this painting is the sky. I really loved the weight it has turned out. Anyway, now it's time to peel up the masking tape. So here's the painting for the day. It was a really quick one. We finished this in less than 15 minutes. I hope you all enjoyed the process and the painting you have created. If you're here to try it, give it a try and let me know if you liked it. Oh. Oh 27. DAY 23 - Opera Clouds: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 23. Our painting for the day is a beautiful sky with some Opera pink clouds. So as usual, let's start by looking at the colors we will need. The very first color you will need is a Pasal pink. This one is brilliant pink. Pasal pink is one of the major color you will need for this painting. If you don't have a pasel pink, it's totally fine. You can easily create one by adding some white aticor with red or crimson or carmine. Okay, so that's the first color you will need. Now the next color you will need is orange. I won't be using orange acts. I'll be mixing orange with pink to create a peach kind of a color, which is the color you see on the top of the sky. I will swatch out orange first, then I will show you how to mix and create that color. The one I'm using here is called brilliant orange. It's again from Shinhan. It's a beautiful, bright orange. Okay. If you don't have any kind of orange, you can use armalin, instead of this color. Now, I'm going to mix some orange with pink. According to the color you like, you can add them in any proportion. Okay. See that? That's a mix of pink and orange. If you add more pink into the mix, the color will be more pinkish. On the top of the sky, I'll be using this color, then towards the center, I will use pink. Now, towards the bottom of the sky, I'm going to use a color which is more like a pasil purple. And to create that color, I will mix some violet with pink. That means the next color you will need is violet. This one is again from Shin hein. It is called permanent violet. Just like orange, I won't be using violet actus. I will mix that with pink. See that. Pick some violet. Mix that with pink. See the color. It's a Pasal purple. According to the proportion of colors you're adding, if you add more violet, it will look more voletish. And if you add more pink, it will have a more purple kind of a tone. Okay? So those things are totally up to you. It doesn't really matter. Now, the next color you will need is opera pink or Opera rose, which is a very bright Nonish pink. This one is also from Shinhan. So first, we will create our base layer using pastel orange, Pasal pink. And Pasal purple. Then onto that, we will add some clouds using this bright pink. The next color you will need is indico for the mountain in the foreground. We'll be using a mix of indico and violet. That is the final color you will need for this painting. According to the colors you have with you, you can change the colors. If you want to skip using orange, that's totally fine. You can just use pink and violet for your sky, and then you can add the clouds. Te are the colors you will need. You will need a pasil pink, orange, violet, Opera rose, and Indigo. Keep the colors ready on your palette and let's give it a try. All right, so we already had a look at the colors. I'm hoping you guys have it ready on your palette. For this painting, you don't really need a sketch. We can add the mountains as we're painting. Okay, so let's start with the sky. Once you have the colors ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire paper. Go with a clean brush and gently apply a coat of water onto the tire paper. Run your brush multiple times just to be sure the coat of water. Okay. So we just need a shiny coat, don't add a lot. So my sky is evenly wet. Now I'm going to go with my size number eight on brush to apply the paint. The first color I'm going to start with is pink. I'm going to apply pink almost at the center of the sky. Okay. So right over here, I'm applying pink. Now, toward the top, I'm going to introduce a more orangish color. Okay. So with the same brush, I'm going to pick some orange, and I will mix them together. This one is more like a peach color. Okay. Now let's apply that on the top. So towards the center, we have a pink, and at the top, we have a color which is more like a peach. Okay. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm going with the third color, which is purple. I will apply some more pink, and then I will gradually add some violet along with pink. Pick some violet, mix that with pink. This way, we can create a pasel purple. That's a color I'm using. Now I'm going to apply this along the bottom part. On the top, we have a peach color. Then we have some pink, and now we're applying a pasel purple. I don't have enough pink on my palette. So I'm squeezing out a bit more. So as I mentioned earlier, this one is brilliant pink from Shinhan. If you don't have basal pink, you can mix and create one easily. Just add some white aticor with any of the red or pink pigment. It could be crimson or red or rose or any color. Just add some white aticor along with that. And you'll be able to create a color very similar to this. Okay, so I'm running my brish back and forth to blend the colors. That's how it has turned out. Now, onto this, I'm going to add some clouds using opera pink. Opera Pink or opera rose is a bright Nonish rose. If you don't have that color, you can just use crimson or carmine. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some opera rose. And I'm going to add some clouds onto the top. See that. It's a very bright and bold color, more like a neon color. I won't be adding a lot of clouds. I'm planning to add them only onto the right side, but you can add as many clouds as you want. See that. You can add the clouds however you like. You just have to add them while the background is still wet. That's the only thing you have to be careful about. Also, the paint should not be too watery. Now I'm picking a much more bolder tone, and I'm adding a few more clouds to make it more interesting. Okay. You can see how beautiful that color is, and it is going very well with that peat color we have in the background. I'm loving it. Maybe I will add a few more, and then I will call it done. If you want to make your sky look more dramatic, you can add more clouds. You can add some on the top, some at the bottom, wherever you feel like, you can add as many as you want. For me, I want to add some only on this side. I want to retain most of the background colors. Okay. So I'm going to add a few more using a much more brighter tone. See that? Now, the color is more vibrant than earlier. So yeah, keep adding the clouds, however you like, while the background is still wet. If it is starting to dry, I think it would be a good idea to stop it there. Okay, so that's how my sky has turned out. I'm really happy with the color combination and the clouds. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go with the next step. All right, the sky has dried completely, and the colors are looking really beautiful. Next, we are going to start adding the mountains. We'll be adding three layer of mountains, two in the background and one in the foe ground. For the backer mountains, we will use medium tunes, and for the one on the F ground, we will use a darker tune. You can go in directly with your brush or you can start with a pencil sketch if that is more easier for you. So I'm going to add a simple sketch of the mountain, the one on the background. I'm adding that where I have purple. Okay. So go with a simple sketch of a mountain. To make it easier, I'm attaching the finished painting here so you can follow the same sketch or can modify it accordingly. Then that's the next mountain. Then we have one in between. I'm not really sure you can see the sketch. In a way, you can take a look at the picture here and add in your sketch before you start. Now, for the first mountain, I'm going to use the same color we used earlier. Mix of pink and violet. This one is the one in the background. Onto that mountain, I'm going to apply this color. Okay. So simply follow the outline and add in that medium tone. If you want to go for a different color, that's totally fine. This one is a mix of violet and pink. The same color we use for the sky. Okay, so that is the first mountain. You can modify the shape as you like. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. Now, once this has dried, we'll be adding another one right in front of this, and then we'll have to wait for that also to dry to add the Fok cron mountain. Okay, so let this dry and we can come back and add the next one. The first mountain has dried completely. Now let's go the second one. And for that into the same color, I'm going to add some more violet and a bit of indico to make it a little more darker. You don't need to add a lot of indico, just a little is all we need. Okay? So that's a kind of color I'll be using for the second mountain. If needed, you can start by adding an outline with your pencil and then fill in that space using this color. So the color we're using right now is a bit more darker than the color we used earlier. For that, we didn't add any indico. It was just a mix of violet and pink. But in this, we have added some more indico to it to make it darker. Like I said earlier, the color can be a bit different. It doesn't need to be exactly the same. It can be more darker or lighter. Okay. So that's my second mountain. So for this painting, we're using three different layer of mountain. For the one in the background, the color has to be lighter. Then for the next one, you can go with a medium tone. And for the final one, the one that is in the foreground, you can use a much darker tone. Okay. So once you have added the paint, you can pick some water and make the rest lighter. That's our second mountain. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry, and then we can go the final one. I'm not going to fill in paint onto the entire area on the left, because over there, I'm going to make the mountain more higher. That space will be covered up. I will just leave it as it is. Anyway, with that, our second mountain is done. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go the final layer. Okay, so that is right completely. Now we can go the final layer. And for that, into the same mix, I'm going to add more indico. Only if we play with different tonal values, we can create a depth in our painting. Otherwise, it will look really boring. So pick more indico and add that with the color you created earlier. This one is much more darker than the color we used earlier. Now with that darker tone, let's add the final layer. You can go with any shape you prefer on the left, I'm making it higher, then towards the right, I'm making it lower. Then I'm just filling that in with the color I created. I'm not going to add any textures or anything. I'm simply filling that in. Go with an irregular line to make it more realistic. Okay. Now I will simply fill that in. Maybe I can use some water and I will make it lighter. Just a little lighter. That's our fo ground mountain. If you want you can drop in some darker tones using indico to create some texture. Otherwise, you can just leave it acts. The only thing I'm not really happy with is the second mountain. I'm not at all happy with the way I have applied the paint. You can clearly see an outline on the top. I mean this part on the top. You can see an outline there. It should have been a better blend. Anyways, I'm happy with the rest, so I'm just going to ignore it. Now we can leave this for drying and after that, we can peel off the masking tape. Okay, so that has tried completely. Now we can peel off the masking tape. Maybe you can add some birds as well to make your painting look more interesting. You can add a group of tiny birds flying off to their nest. All right. So that's how the painting has turned out. There is one more thing that you can add on to this painting to a right. Maybe you can add one or two pine trees using paints gray. Anyways, here's a closer look of the sky, which is my favorite part about this painting, especially those Opera rose clouds. Anyways, that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next mini vertical landscape. 28. DAY 24 - Sand Dunes: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 24. Today, we're going to paint a quick desert landscape. It's a quick painting, and the process is really fun. Anyway, let's have a look at the colors we will need before we start. The major color you will need for this painting is yellow ochre. That's a color we will use for the sand tunes. It's a base color. Then on to that to add the deeper tones and medium tones. We will use brown and paints gray. So the very first color and the major color you will need is yellow ochre. Okay. The one I'm using here is from Shinhan. Now coming to the next color. It is brown. If you don't have brown, you can also use burn sa. This one is permanent brown from art philosophy. That's our second color. I'll be using this color to add the medium tones and also the deeper tones. Now, there's one more color you will need, which is paints gray. I won't be using paints gray acid is. I'll be mixing a little of that with brown to create a darker tone. These are the three colors we will need for the sand tunes, yellow ocher, brown or burn cena, and also a bit of paints gray. Okay. Now, the next color you will need is blue, which is the color I have chosen for the sky. If you want to go for a different color for your sky, that's totally fine. I thought of going with a blue sky. You can go the soft Pasal sky or even a bright sense sky. So those things are totally up to you. I'm just going to stick with blue, and this one is Cilian blue. That summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. For the sand tunes, you will need three colors, yellow Ochre, brown or burn Cena, and paints gray. Then for the sky, I will be using blue. You can go with any color of your choice. Keep all the colors ready on your palette, and let's give it a try. All right. So I have my paper ready here and even the colors. Now the first step is to add the sketch. We need to add a big sane. So start by adding a simple mountain, a pointy mountain. Okay. Now from this tip, we have to add an irregular line. This line is really important. It has to go in a very nice curvy shape, a free flowing line. Okay. Now I'm going to add another one in the background. That's a sketch. When you're painting a san tune, this irregular line is really important. It is according to that line, we're going to add our deeper tones and medium tones. Onto either side, as we're painting, we will add some deeper tones and medium tones. The sketch is really important. Take your time and add in your sketch. Now, the first thing I'm going to start with is a sand tone. The sky we can paint later. Now to apply paint onto the sand tune, I'm going to go with my size number eight ronruh. First, I'm making sure it is clean. Then I'm going to start with yellow ochre, then I will add brown, and also some paints gray. Now we have to paint the sand tune as two different sections. First, we will go with this one. Then once that has dried, we can go the other two. First, I will pick some yellow ocher on my size number eight ron brush. I'm going to apply that onto this entire section. Go with the medium tune. Don't make it too light. Now, carefully follow that shape and add in your paint. The base layer is yellow ochre. I'm applying a medium tone. Onto that entire shape. Now, gradually, I will start applying some medium tones. Onto this side, I'm just adding some medium tones. I won't be adding any taco tones. This is my lighter side, and on the other side, I will introduce more taco tones. That's a plan. That is yellow ocher. Now I'm going to keep this pressure aside. I will clean it properly, and I'm keeping it aside, and with my size number six to press, I'm picking some brown, a medium tone of brown, not too dark. Now, onto this wet background, I'm going to add a few lines. So from that irregular line, you need to add these taco tones towards the bottom in a sloping manner. See that? So simply add a few lines while your bags on the still wet, then clean your brush, pick a little of yellow ocher again and smudge it to give it a softer and smoother finish. You can see those lines are looking much more softer now. Earlier, they were quite rough. Now, if you want to add some more ducker tones, you could do that, but not too dark. Maybe we can add a few lines on the top. The rest is looking fine. That's how it has turned out. First apply yellow ocher onto the entire background. Then add some sloping lines onto that background, either using a medium tone of brown or burn sa. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry before we go with the other two sections. The first section has dried completely. Next, we can go the other two. I will go the top one first. Just like I did earlier, I'm going to start with yellow ochre. This one is my size number eron fresh. I'm applying yellow ochre on to the entire area. Just like how we did the first one. But for this one, I will add more deeper tones. That's only difference. First, your task is to apply yellow ocher onto that shape. Then with either brown or burn cena, we have to add some medium tones. That's a base layer. Now let's pick some brown. I'm using the same brush. Now I'm going to add a few lines onto that wet background. You need to add these lines while your background is still wet. You should not beat for a longer time. Those lines has to be smooth and soft. To get them solved, you have to add them. While your background is still wet. I'm adding those medium tones at the bottom first. Now I'm picking a little more to make it darker. I'm considering this side to have a lot of shadows and deeper tones, and the other side, which we cannot see is having more of lighter tones. You just have to add some more lines using a darker tone of brown on that wet background. Once you have added them, you can clean your brush and smudge it. I'm using my other brush. This one is clean. Now with that clean dry brush, I'm gently smudging these lines, to give it a softer and smoother finish. If you look at the images of sand tunes, you can see the lines are very soft and free flowing. To get that impression, we are smudging these lines. If we don't smudge it, they will look too bold and rough. Once you have applied your darker tones, which are just some lines, you can go with a clean brush and smudge it. When you're smudging the paint, you have to be really gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure. Now, I'm thinking of adding some more taker tones mostly at the bottom. The same brush, I'm picking a little of paints gray, just a little, and I'm mixing that with brown. Now I'm going to add this along the bottom side over here to make those shadows more prominent. I'm dragging my brise towards the top to introduce some sloping lines. See that? My background has almost dried up. I will quickly smudge it. Otherwise, they will look really rough. I will add one more line here. To emphasize on those shadows. Now I will pick my other brush, and I will quickly smudge it. To make it easier, maybe you can pick a little of yellow ocher. This will make the process a lot more easier, especially if your background is starting to dry. That's a second section. Now in a similar way, I'm going with the next section, which is a much more bicker one. First, I'm going to clean my brush. It's going to be the exact same technique, but this side is more quicker. Maybe we have to be a bit more quicker than earlier. I'm starting with a yellow ocher again. I'm applying that onto the end to your right side. Carefully apply the paint along that irregular line and fill in that shape we have there. Then gradually, we are going to switch to brown. We will add some medium tones. Also we will add some taker tones. This one is our darker side where all the shadows are falling. The other one is the lighter side. So I have applied yellow ocher to the entire area. Now, with my other brush, size number six round brush, I'm going to add some darker tones. Pick some brown first or burn Sena, which will be the color you're using. Now, let's add a few lines all to the background in a sloping manner. I'm starting from here. First, I will add some daker tomes along that irregular line. Then along with that, I will add a few lines like this. You can add them, however you like. It can be thicker or thinner lines. That doesn't matter, but they have to be sloping down. That's one of the major things. The angle of these lines are really important. See that? Now, let's add a few towards the bottom asp. So simply keep on adding those lines onto the wet background. At this point, it will look really messy, which is totally fine. Now I'm going to go back with my other brush. I haven't washed it. Now with that brush, I'm gently smudging these lines to give it a softer lo. So there was some leftover paint on my brush, some yellow ocher, and that is making the smudging task really easy. We can add a few lines towards the bottom, as well. There isn't any lines at the bottom. I'm picking some more brown. I'm going to add a few more lines towards the bottom. Now, when you're adding these lines, try to leave some gap in between. Don't add them too close to each other. We need to see that yellow ocher color in between, these darker tones. Try to add your paint in a similar way. Now we can smudge it. So I'm going to go back with my other brush, and I'm going to gently smudge it. I'm not putting a lot of pressure here. I'm being very gentle. That's how it has turned out. I think we can add some more deeper tones. It isn't enough. We have to add some more deeper tones like the top. Okay. So I'm going to go back with my other brush and I'm going to pick some more brown. You can see the darker tones on the top. Similarly, I'm going to add a line in between. See that? This will break over Santon. We have one section at the back and other one at the front. Just like we did earlier, our only task is to add these lines and then slowly smudge it. If you feel like your background is starting to dry, you can just stop it there, or you can continue adding them, and then you can go with some yellow ocher and smudge it. I'm picking more brown and a bit of paint gray to make it darker. Now I'm going to add a few on the top. As for last, what's the bottom. On the side, I want the brown to be more and more darker. You can see my background is not really wet. It is starting to dry. Still I'm adding them because I think it is okay to blend them or smudge them using yellow ochre. We can still manage to get a better result. I'm just keeping this pressure aside. I'm done adding the daker tones. Now I'm switching to yellow ochre. Se that? I'm not picking a lot of paint just a little. Now, with a brush with the yellow ocher, I'm gently smudging these lines. See that. I'm only using the tip of my brush, and I'm not putting a lot of pressure here. Slowly and carefully. I'm smudging them. Okay. We are nearly done with this section, and you can see how beautiful it has turned out. All those folds and deeper tones on the sand tunes. It is looking really beautiful. Here is a closer look. Now, wherever you feel, the lines are looking rough. You can pick a little yellow ochre, and you can smudge it. See that? The bottom section is really beautiful, but we still have some harder lines here. I'm just pushing and pulling those lines to give it a softer finish. Okay, so that's how it has turned out. That's our beautiful sand tunes. I cannot tell you how much I'm happy with the result. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry, and then we can go with the sky. So let's take a short break and come back when this has dried completely. Okay, so we're done with the sand tunes. Next, we're going to go with the sky. Before you start, make sure your brush is clean, because we have used yelluw and brown. With the same brush, if we pick blue, it will become a muddy color. Okay. So first, I'm going to apply a coat of water onto the sky. I will apply only on the top. I'm not adding any water closer to the mountain. I mean, the sand tunes. Okay. So the top part is wet. I have left some gap at the bottom. Now, with my fi number eight brush, I'm picking some cylin blue. Just like I mentioned earlier, you can go with any color of your choice. It doesn't need to be blue. Now, in my case, as I'm using blue, I'm applying a medium tone on the top of the sky, as I'm coming down, I will make it lighter. So I've applied some paint on the top. Now I'm picking my paper towel, and I'm dabbing my brush on it to remove the excess amount of paint. Now with the same brush, I'm adding some lines onto the background. So I want some lighter tones in between, which is a paper white. I don't want to apply blue everywhere. In between, you can see some white spaces, which will make my sky look more realistic and beautiful. Now with the same brush, I'm going to apply a lighter tone of blue along the bottom. Then I will blend that into the sky. Over here, we haven't applied any water. It is completely dry. Be careful when you're applying the paint. Run your brush, along the outline. It's a lighter tone of blue, and I will blend that into the background. Initially, I had plans of going with a different sky. Then I thought of keeping it simple. But now after I have applied blue, I feel like I should have used yellow and pink. Anyways, I have applied the paint. Now I'm gently smudging that into the background. That's how it has turned out. Now, there's one more thing that I want to do. I'm going to lift off some paint using a clean brush to give my sky a more natural look. Right now, I couldn't retain a lot of white space in between. With a clean brush, I'm lifting off some paint in a linear way. See that? This step will add some linear clouds onto the sky. Technically, we are taking off the paint from the background and leaving a vital space there. I will add one or two lines here, and then I will continue lifting off the paint. This step is completely optional. You don't need to lift off the paint if you're not really up for it. Now I'm cleaning my brush again, dabbing it on a paper towel. Then I'm going to lift off some more paint from the top to add those linear clouds. This one is a very interesting step. You can give it a try, maybe on a scrap piece of paper, and you can use it in your future paintings. It will give you those natural looking clouds. In a way, that's it. I'm done with our painting for the day. Now let's wait for this to dry. Okay, my dear friends, here we are. We are done with our gorgeous sanunes. Now I'm going to peel off the masking tape. I'm really happy with the sky, and even the santuns, the colors are looking really beautiful. I hope you guys love the painting you have created. If you're here to try it, do give it a try. And if you want to try a different color for your sky, feel free to do that. Okay, so here is our gorgeous santunes. You can see those shadows and deeper tones. Lovely. All right, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with the next mini watercolor landscape. Oh. 29. DAY 25 - Sunset by the Beach: Hello, my lovely friends. Welcome to day 25. Today, we're going to try a beautiful beach sunset. This one is one of my favorite from the tire series. I love how simple and beautiful it is. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors. As you can see for the sky, I have used three colors. The very first one is Naples yellow. This one is more like a Pasal yellow. Let me show you the swatch of this color. So this color is a combination of yellow pigment and a white pigment. That is why it is looking like a patel yellow. But if you don't have any Pacel yellow, you can use any other yellow you have caught. To me, I wanted the colors to be quite dull. I don't want them to be bright. That's why I used a Pacel yellow. This one is Indian yellow. It's a bit more brighter than Naples yellow. Now, if you compare Indian yellow and Naples yellow together, only Naples yellow has a white pigment along with yellow pigment. This one is just a yellow pigment, which means just by adding some white aticor with any of the yellow you have caught, you can create a Naples yellow. That's the first color. Now coming to the second one. You can see a little of red on the top. That one is spiral red. I won't be using red actus. It's a very bright and bold red. I will be mixing some Naples yellow along with that. To create a color which is more like a pastel red or a peach color. See that? That's a mix of Naples yellow and red. That's the second color I'm going to use for the sky. Again, if you don't want to add white watercolor, you can just use any yellow you have caught, and then the second color can be a lighter tone of red. You don't need to mix that with Naples yellow, or you can go for a different color combination for your sky, even that is totally up to you. That's a second color. Now, the third color you see on the top is indico. I will be using a lighter tone of indico for the top of the sky. Also for the s, I'll be using indico. This one is indico from art philosophy. That's the third color you will need for the sky. If you want to try a different color combination for your sky, you are absolutely welcome to do that. Now the next set of colors you will need are some browns. For the sand part, I will be using a mix of burn Cena and paints gray. I'll mix these two colors together to create a color which is more like burnt amper. You can also use burned Amber acid is. This one is burn scena. Now for the rocky mountain in the background, I will be using brown. For me, I love using brown for the mountains. But if you don't have brown, just go with burn scena. You can see the difference between these two colors. Burn Cena is more yellowish, whereas brown is more reddish. That's only difference. Now the last color you will need is paints gray. To add all the deeper tones, we will be using paints gray. That summarize all the colors you will need for this beautiful beach landscape. It's a quick one. But compared to the other paintings we have done so far. This one has a few more extra steps, but I'm going to guide you through the NTA process. Don't worry at all. For now your only task is to keep all the colors ready here on your palette. You will need Naples yellow or yellow, some red, indico, burn Cena or brown, and also some paints gray. Keep all the colors ready on your palette and let's get it try. First, I'm going to start with the sketch. We can add a horizon line a little below the center of the paper. Now I'm going to add a irregular line here to separate the shore and the sea. We are only showing a strip of the sea, so don't make it too broad. Next, we are going to add the mountains. That's the first one. Now next to that, I'm going to add a bigger one. Go the irregular shape to make it look more natural. Now we can add another tiny one right next to that. Try to go the similar size. Don't make it too peck. The sketch is ready. Now I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready on your palette. We will need some Naples yellow, then some red and also some indico for the sky. Keep those three colors ready on your palette. And when you have them ready, apply a code of water onto your sky, using any of your clean brush. Just apply a general coat, don't add a lot of water. The sky is evenly wet. Now I'm going to switch to my other brush. This one is size number eight. This is the first color I'm going to use Naples Aal. I already have it on my palette. Now I'm going to apply that towards the bottom of the sky. Along the horizon, apply Naples Salon or any yellow you prefer. Okay. Next with the same brush, I'm going to pick some red, and I will mix that with Naples yellow. You don't need to clean your brush, pick some Naples yellow, then a bit of red. Mix them together. See that. It's a beautiful color. Maybe more like coral, not peach. If you add more yellow, it will become peach. Now it is more like coral. That's a mix of Naple ello and red. I'm adding that right next to yellow. Now we can clean our brush and we can go with indico. I'm using a medium tone. It's not too dark and not too light. Now onto the top, I'm adding this color, and I will gently blend that with red. It doesn't need to a clean blend. Just go for a rough blend. There can be some lines or some irregularities, which is totally fine. We have some indico on the top, then a patol red and some yellow at the bottom. Now, using the same brush, I'm going to add one or two streaks onto the sky to create some clouds. It's again a metian tone of indico. I'm just adding one or two lines over here. I'm adding them only on the red part. I'm not adding any onto the yellow side. That's a top part of the sky. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm switching back to red, the same mix of Naples yellow and red. Now, using that color, I'm going to add a few clouds towards the bottom. See that. Just add a few lines onto the sky while it is still wet. Don't get rid of the anterior yellow. We need some yellow in between. That's a sky. I'm pretty happy with the clouds and the blend, and even the color combination. If you want to add some more drama into your sky, you can add a few more clouds. But only when your background is still wet. If it is starting to dry, it's a good idea to stay away from it. In a way, that's how the sky has turned out. Next, we are going to paint the sand part. In the meantime, the sky will dry, so we can continue. The color that I'm going to use is a mix of burn Cena and paint scray. I'm going to create a color which is more like burnt umber. If you have burnt umber, you can use it directly. Okay. So pick some burn enough first, then mix that with some paints gray. T create a dull crash brown. Okay. Now I'm going to apply that onto the tier area we have at the bottom. You can start with a medium tone or don't make it too light. That's a color I'm using. It's a mix of paint screen and burn scena. Now, simply fill in that i area in this color. Then gradually, we can start adding more textures and details onto that. For now, you just need a solid wash. Now onto this, I'm going to add some deeper tones. I'm picking a bit more paint screen, mixing that with burn scena, I can. Now, if you paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel, that looks too dark. That's okay. I will quickly smart it. With my other brush, I'm just going to smug it. We just need some darker tones and some textures in the background. Otherwise, it will look plain and empty. Simply as some lines and some textures onto the background. It can be some dots and some lines. You have to do this while your background is still wet. See that? They don't need to look perfect. Just keep on adding them on the wet background. That's how it has turned out. Now, maybe we can add some more textures using a darker tone. I'm picking some more paint screen and burn scena, and I'm mixing them together. It's a much more darker tone. Now with that color, I'm adding some more lines and some more dots onto the background. Mostly onto the top area. See that? I think this one is looking quite good. We don't need to add anymore. Now, before we leave this for trying, there is one more thing that I want to do. I'm picking the same color again. It's a medium tone. Now, I'm going to add a strip in between. Maybe I will just fix the sheep first. Now, write about that. I'm adding a long strip like this. Using that brown color. See that. In between the sea and the shore, simply add an irregular line like this. It doesn't need to be perfectly shaped or it doesn't need to be straight. We just need an irregular line there. All right, so that's how it has turned out. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry. And after that, we can paint the sea and the mountains. Okay, that's how it has turned out. Next, I'm going to go back with indico. I will go with a medium tone. That's a color I'll be using for the s. Now, I'm going to apply that onto these in between spaces we have here. Simply apply that color onto this section. It's a medium tone of Indic. Carefully apply that. Following the lines we have there. Now, for the bottom section, I'm going to start with the red first. Then onto either side, I will add some indico. When I say red, I'm not going to use red acts. I just need that dull red I created earlier, which is a mix of Naples yellow and a bit of red. I'm just going to pick that color again. It's a very thin strip, so try to go with the smaller brush. Now apply that onto that little area we have there. It's a lighter red. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some indico. Just a little bit, and I will add that onto either side. See that. We have some red at the center, then some indico on either side. That's it. Now we'll have to wait for that to dry. Give it some time and let it dry completely. Now I'm going to go back with a medium tone of indico again. I'm going to add some lines onto the background. Just some messy rough lines. That is really dark. I'm adding some water. With that, I'm again adding some more lines onto the background. Just some rough messy lines. It doesn't need to be perfect. In between, if you can, try to lay some lighter blue. That's how it has turned out. We can add a few onto either side as well, and that's it. That's a c. First, we applied a lighter tone of indico onto the background. Then we added some messy textures using a brighter tone of indico. Now the next task is to go to the mountains, but before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. For the mountains, I'm going to use brown. You can use brown or burn scena, start with the metium tone or a slightly daker tone, and apply that onto the bigger one first. See that? It's a very beautiful color. I love to use this color for mountains. This one is from art philosophy. It is called permanent Brown. As the shapes are quite small, I think we can paint all of them together. Adding the same color onto the other one as well. And this one too. It's a solid wash of brown. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paint scray, to add some textures and deeper tones. Simply add some lines and some shapes onto that bed background, and that's it. See that. We just need to create some texture there. It doesn't need to be well detailed or it doesn't need to be perfect. They are in the background. They are very far. We just need to add some shadows and deeper tones. That's it. If you want to add some more deeper tones or if you want to modify the shape, you could do that. Maybe we can alter the shape a little. Try to go for an irregular shape to make it look more natural. If you want, you can add some more deeper tones as well. I'm loving the weight is turning out. Earlier, it was boring. But now when we added that mountain, it is looking a lot more better. There is a beautiful contrast here. That's a mountain. Now with the same color, I'm going to add the reflection of the mountains. Right after the sea, we have a strip of land in between a wet land, and that's where I'm going to add the reflection. I'm using the same color again. It's a mix of brown and paints gray. Go within of your smaller brush. Now, simply add some lines onto these in between space. So irregular line. Some of them can be longer. Some of them can be shorter. See that? Just add some exact lines. That's the second one. Now for the next one as well, I'm adding a little of reflection over here. See that. It instantly made a lot of difference, right. With all these little details, our painting is starting to look more and more beautiful. I'm loving it. That's a reflection. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm going to dab it on a paper towel. Now with that little leftover paint, I'm going to add some more textures at the bottom. This one is completely optional. If you already have enough textures there, you can completely ignore this step. So with that little paint, I'm adding some dr textures to give it more character. Okay, so that's Denton. Now I'm cleaning my brush again. And there is one last task left. For that, I'm picking a little of white ache. You can go with white watercolor or white ache. We just need a little and go with any of your smaller brush. Then add an irregular line over here. It doesn't need to be perfect. It can be a broken dry line. See that. Just to introduce some more texture and character to the sea. We're adding some lines using white paint. Go an opaque paint, don't add a lot of water. Okay, that's it. That's how our painting has turned out. My favorite part about this painting is the mountain and the reflection, and I really hope you guys enjoyed it too. Anyways, that's our painting for the da. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here's the finished painting. It's a lovely beach landscape. Give it a try if I get to try it. It's a quick one, and I'm very sure you will love the process. Alright, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next men vertical landscape. Oh. 30. DAY 26 - Turquoise Sky: Hello, my dearest friends. Welcome to Day 26 of painting mini vert coolor landscapes. Our painting for the day is a simple, a beautiful sky with a tiny little cottage. My favorite part about this painting is a sky. It is beautiful, and it's really easy to paint. So the first color you will need for this sky is a patel orange. I will be adding some white vertica with orange to create this color. See that? So that's a simple mix of orange and white, and that's a very first color you will need for the sky. It's a really light basal orange. In your mix, add more white vertica than orange. Okay, that's a first color you will need for the sky. Now, along with this, the next color I'm going to use is turquoise blue. For the major part of the sky, we're going to use blue. Then towards the bottom, we will add this petal orange. To add the cloud Taple we'll be using patel orange. The second color you will need a tycise blue. We'll go with a medium tone, and we'll apply that almost to three fourth of the sky, and then we will go with basal orange. That's a second color. Now, coming to the next set of colors, which are some greens. We have a meadow in the foreground, and also some greenery in the background. For that, I will go with two different types of greens. One is a lighter green, and the other one is a medium green. To create a lighter green, I will mix some yellow ocher with sap green. That's the color you see on the top. That's our next color. I will swatch it out on a scrap piece of paper. That's a mix of yellow ochre and sap green. Depending on the amount of yellow ochre you're adding, the color will look a little different and that's totally fine. I want the green to be a little dull. I don't want that to be too bright as we're painting an evening scene. Just go the mix of yellow ochre and sap green to paint your meadow. That's a color I'm going to use for the top, towards the bottom, I will use some sap green actus, and for the really deeper tones, I'll be using paints gray. So the meadow is a combination of three colors, yellow ochre, sap green, and paints gray. For those trees and plants in the background, I'll be using the same colors, but that will be mostly medium tunes and darker tones. The next color you will need is paints gray. If you have colors like green gold or olive green, you can use them directly. You don't need to make yellow ocher with green. Okay. So those are the colors you will need for the meadow and the greenery. Now, there's one more color you will need for the tiny roof here, and that is brown. You can go with crimson or vermilion or any other color you prefer, or you can just go with brown or burn Cena. Okay. It's a super tiny cottage and we don't need a lot of paint for that. Don't squeeze out a lot. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for today's painting. You will need a pastel orange and turquoise blue for the sky. Then for the meadow and greenery, you will need yellow ocher and sap green and paints gray, and then a bit of brown for the roof. Keep all the colors ready on your palette and let's get it try. Alright, so I have my paper ready here. Now, I'm gonna start with the sketch. For this painting, I'm placing the horizon line some here. So the major part of this painting is going to be the sky. Next, we can add some irregular shapes along the horizon. W is not really necessary. We can add them or modify them as we're painting. Now, the major reason why I'm adding these landscape is because I'm going to add a tiny cabin at the center. In between, I'm leaving some space and that's where I'm going to place the cabin. It's a tiny tiny one. It's very far. So you don't need to add a lot of details. We just need that roof line and a simple shape. Around that, we'll be adding some more landscape. Okay, so that's a sketch. Keep it ready, and I'm hoping you have the colors ready on your palette as well. For the sky, you will need some pastel orange, and to create that, I will squeeze out some white watercolor onto my palette. The second color you will need a sircise blue, which I already have on my palette. So that is white watercolor. The rest of the colors are already there on my palette. So I'm starting by applying a coat of water onto the sky. Before you apply the water, make sure your brushes clean. Now apply a nice general coat of water onto the entire sky. As I always say, don't add a lot. We only need a shiny coat. Okay. You can leave the house, and you can apply water onto the rest of the area. So that is evenly wet. Now, to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number en brush. First, I will wash it off and I will make sure it is clean. Now, first, I'm going to start with a medium ron of turcise blue. I will apply that onto three quarter of the sky. Then gradually I will go with pastel orange. Okay. So go the medium tone of turquoise blue or any blue you prefer. Now apply that to the top of the sky. Go the similar tonal value. Don't make it too light or too dark. Okay. So that's a medium tone. Now I'm going to clean my brush. Towards the bottom, I will make it even more lighter. And that's where I'm going to introduce basal orange. Maybe we can add a bit more cleaning again and making it lighter. The major part of the sky is going to be turquoise blue, and we're going to only add a little of orange towards the bottom. Now, clean your brush again, then pick a bit of orange and mix that with a lot of white. We need a very light one of basal orange. Now apply that at the bottom. It's a beautiful color. I love to use that for soft basal skies. Okay. Now let's blend that with blue. I mean, turquoise blue. Be very gentle. Don't put a lot of pressure. Maybe we can add a bit more orange. I will add that again. So the base layer is ready. Now we're going to add some clouds onto the same background. While it is still wet. To add the clouds asphal, I'm going to go with basal orange. If your paint is to water, dap it on a paper towel before you start. Now, you see that color simply add some clouds onto the background. You can go with any kind of shape that you prefer. You can see the color is turning a little into a muddy color. W is totally fine. By the time it dries up, it will look really beautiful. If you're using orange actus, it will be more like a muddy green. But right now, we're using a mix of orange and white. It will be more like a grayish orange. It wouldn't turn a lot into a muddy color. That's how I have added the clouds. Maybe we can add a few more to make it more dramatic. So I'm just going to add some more bigger clouds onto the blue part. I won't be touching the bottom part. I'm just going to leave it acts. I just want some plain pasil orange there. Now onto the top, I'm going to add some more clouds again with the same color. So I'm picking some more orange, mixing that with white. Now I'm going to add a few more clouds. So depending on the color you want, you can add a bit more white or a bit more orange. That's how it has turned out. It's a really soft and simple sky. Now when it dries, it will look even more beautiful. So let's take a short break, can come back and this has dried completely. Okay, so that is dried, and you can see how beautiful those clouds have turned out. It looks very soft and fluffy. Okay. Next, we're going to go with the meadow. And to paint that, I'm going to go with a mix of yellow ochre and sap green. I want a dull green. So let's pick some yellow ochre first. And to that, I'm going to add some sap green. You can mix them in any proportion, don't think a lot. We just need a color that is similar to this. Now I'm going to add that onto the anterior meadow. There is a color called green gold, which I believe is in Daniel Smith, and that is very similar to this, or you can also go with olive green. Just make some yellow ocher with sap green and create this color. Now, almost onto the anterior area, you can apply this color, only towards the bottom. We're going to introduce some sap green and also some daco green. The rest is all this color. We have used the same color for many other paintings. It's a beautiful color to use for evening meadows. Now, towards the bottom, I'm going to apply some sap cream. Then gradually I will introduce some paints gray asphal to make it more darker. Don't test the top part. Leave that yellowish color as it is, only towards the bottom, you can apply some sap cream. Maybe we can add in a few more lines to bring in more texture. I a few random lines like this. Otherwise, it will look very plain and empty. See that. Simply add some lines onto the wet background. It will automatically mix into each other and create a natural blend. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. I think now it's time to introduce some more darker tones, and let's pick some pains c for that. I'm mixing that with green. Now, I'm adding that along the bottom most area. Only if you introduce those tonal values, I mean, different tonal values, your painting will look more beautiful. We started off with a lighter green, then we introduce some sap green. Now we're using a much more darker green. You see the difference, even the sky is looking a lot more beautiful now when we have that contrast. So every painting is a play of lighter tones and darker tones. Only if you have that balance, your painting will look more beautiful. I'm adding somewhere at the bottom. For this painting, I'm leaving it clean. I'm not going to add any grassy lines or any extra textures. If you want to add some more texture or lines onto the background, you could do that. I'm adding a line along the horizon closer to the house, and maybe one or two extra lines as well. Not so much. That's it. No more grassy lines or extra textures. This is how it has turned out. Now we can leave this for drying. Okay, so the entire thing has dried. Now, our next task is to paint the cabin. And for that, I'm going to go with a smaller brush. I'm not planning to paint the wall. I'm going to leave that in paper white. But for the roof, I will use some brown. We have a tiny roof there. Now apply some brown following that roof line. As this one is super tiny, and it's really far. I'm not going to add a lot of details. I will simply paint the roof, and maybe at the end, we can add the door or the window opening. Okay. I'm just going to add only that much. The rest we will cover in the landscape. There will be some greenery leaning onto the cabin, so we can cover up the rest, using that greenery. For now, this is all you need. Now, let that dry. In the meantime, I'm going to start with the landscape, and for that, I'm going to go back with the mix of yellow ochre and sap green. Let's pick some sap green first. Then I'm mixing a little of yellow ochre with that. To create that dull green. To make the color slightly darker, we can add some brown asph or burn sina. This will give you a color which is very similar to olive green. Now, using that color I have created. I'm adding a line first. See that? So it's a mix of yellow ocher and green. If you feel your color is really light, you can add a bit of brown or burn scena to make it a little more darker. Now, at the random shapes over here to resemble the trees and plants in the background. See that? Go the similar size. Don't make it too big. Now let's add some more yellow ochre and apply that in between. I hope you can see the color difference here. The first color I used was a bit more darker. Now I have added more yellow ochre into the mix, and the color is slightly lighter. I hope you guys are able to see the difference. Now, I'm going to continue with that lighter tone, which is a mix of yellow ochre and the green. In between, we can introduce some darker tones as well. Play with these different tonal values. Towards the bottom, you can introduce that medium tone. Then along the top, switch to a lighter tone, which is a mix of yellow ocher and green. When you play with different tonal values, it will look more natural and beautiful. Now I'm going to pick some paint screen, and I'm going to add some more deeper tones into that same area. So I'm just adding some dots and tiny patterns into the background to introduce a darker tone. See that? You can add them wherever you want to. There's no particular order or role here. All we need is different tonal values of green. That's all. Let's add a few at the bottom. And also in between. I'm not really sure if you guys are able to see the different colors I have here. Let me bring the camera closer. Okay. Here is a better look. Simply keep on adding some darker tones. It can be some tiny dots or some small shapes and introduce those taco tones. Now, in a similar way, we have to paint the other side as well. We are done with the right side. I'm starting from here. The roof has dried up already. First, I'm going to go with that taco tone, and I'm adding that landscape around that tiny house, enveloping that. See that. That's why I said earlier. It's totally okay if you don't have a proper shape there. When we add the landscape, we can cover up those as. Right now, the color I'm using is a mix of paints gray and green. It's a darker tone. Now gradually, I will go with a medium green and then a lighter green. Yeah, this one is just about introducing those different tonal values. You can start with a lighter green or a darker green. It doesn't matter. Right here, I'm using a darker green first, and I'm adding a line along the horizon. Along with that, I will add some tiny tiny shapes. Then I will go with a medium cream, and then towards the top, I will add a lighter cream, which is a mix of yellow ocher and sap cream. This doesn't need to be perfect. It's a very small shape and it's far away. I will clean my brush, and I will go with a medium green. You can use sap green actus. Or if you prefer a dull green like the earlier ones, you can add some yellow ochre and brown into Sap green and use that instead. Now I'm going to go with that medium green with a mix of yellow och Sap green, and a bit of brown, only a little bit, and I'm going to add some shapes along the top. This one is a very simple step. There's no rule or anything. Simply adding your paint. We just need some darker tones and medium tones in between. To create those realistic looking textures, if you go with a single tonal value, it will look quite boring. To introduce those textures and character, it is always good to play with different tonal values. I've added those medium tones. I will add a little more to it to left. Then I will continue with a taco tome. So with the same brush, I'm going to go with a taco toe, and we'll add some paint screen to the same mix. And with that, I'm again going to add some tiny tiny shapes onto the background. So you just need to keep on tapping your brush against the paper and add these tiny dots, wherever you feel like. Don't cover up the tire greens in the background, leave them in between. This will make your painting look more beautiful. Okay. So that is done. Now we have one last task left, which is adding the window openings for the house. And for that, I'm going to go back with paint screen. And I'm going to add two tiny lines onto the wall over here. That's all. You can make a square opening or a rectangular opening. I'm just adding two tiny lines. These are far away, so we don't need to put a lot of effort. That's all you need. Any waves with that, we are done with our painting for the ta. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here we are. That's our tiny little and a beautiful sky. I love this color combination. It's a very simple, peaceful sky. There isn't a lot of details. But I think it turned out really beautiful. So if you haven't tried it yet, you know what to do, give it a try and let me know if you liked it. 31. DAY 27 - Glowing Sunset: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to Day 27. Our painting for the day is another sunset. I think this one is a sunset color palette, which we have witnessed many times as a simple, but really interesting painting. Anyway, let's start by having a look at the colors. I will start with the sky. So the color you see on the top, it's a light tone off indico, then towards the bottom. I have used to pastel orange. So Let's start with indico. This one is bluish indico and it's from art philosophy. We just need a lighter tone of indico and we'll be applying that almost to three fourth of the sky. And then towards the bottom, we will introduce a basal orange. The very first color you will need is indico. Now, coming to the second color. Just like I said, it's a Pasal orange. Now I'm going to make some white watercolor with orange to create a pasel orange. We did this for other paintings as well at the same process. Just mix some orange with white waterclor, and create a pasel orange of your choice. It has to be a lighter tune. Into your mix, you should be adding more white and less orange. Okay. So that's a second color. So on the top, we have some indico, and towards the bottom, I'm going to apply some pasil orange. Now, to make the sky more interesting, I will also be applying some orange acids. This is the orange I'm going to use. It's called brilliant orange from Shinhan. I will swatch out that color acids to see the brightness of the color. You can see that color over here. This one is brilliant orange from Shinhan. Go with any bright orange you have got. If you don't have any such color, you can just use ermalin. Okay. So that's the next color. Now, towards the bottom of the sky, I will also be adding some red to make it more intense. This one is pyl red. You can go with any red or you can just use scarlet. Okay. So those are the colors you will need for the sky. We'll start with a lighter tone of indico, then a Pasal orange and towards the bottom. We will add some brighter orange and red as well. Now the next color you will need is brown or burn cena, which is the major color you will be using for the landscape as well as the bottom part. For a change, we're not going to use any greens today. The next color you will need is brown or burn Cena. Now, to add all the deeper tones, obviously, you will need some paints gray, and that is our final color. Okay, so that summarize all the colors you will need for this glowing sunset. It's a really beautiful painting, and the process is really exciting as well, especially that glowing part and the sun. So ya, keep all the colors ready on your palette. Here is a closer look of the colors. You will need a little of indico, some pastel orange, a bright orange, red, brown or burn scena, and paint gray. Okay, so grab all the colors, and let's get it try. Alright, I have my paper ready. I'm starting by adding a horizon line. I say below the scent of the paper. Now we'll have some landscape over here. We can add them as we're painting. Now, along with that, I'm also adding some wooden post in between, just to make it a bit more interesting. I'm adding one there and another one right next to that. Maybe we can add one more towards the left. I'm not going to adding the horizontal. I'll just add these vertical lines. That's it. Now over here when we're painting, we'll add some darker toons and all that. That's a k. It's a pretty simple one. Now let's prepare the colors. I will need some white watercolor to make pastel orange. The rest of the colors are there already on my palette. So first, let's start by taking out a little of white watercolor. Now, I'm going to start by applying a coat of water onto the sky, using a bigger brush, and to apply the paint, I will use a medium sized s brush. So apply a nice general coat of water onto the entire sky. The sky is evenly wet. Now I'm going with my size number eight brush to apply the paint. First of I'll make sure it is clean. The first color I'm going to go with is a lighter tone of indico. Don't use a darker tone. Go with a lighter tone. Okay. Now let's apply that to the sky. I'll be applying this color almost three fourth of the sky. Go with the similar tonal value. Don't make it too dark. Okay. I think we can bring it a bit more down. Okay. That is a lighter tone of indico. Now I'm going to clean my brush, and I'll dab it on a paper towel. And then I'm picking some orange and I'm mixing that with white. See that. It's a lighter tone. There is more white in the mix than orange. Now I'm going to add that along the bottom. Start from the bottom and go towards the top and then blend that with indico. See that. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. Don't put a lot of pressure. Anyway, we're going to add some clouds on top of it. This is all you need. Next, I'm picking a brighter orange, and I'm adding that along the bottom. So the bottom part, I want it to be too intense. Right now, I have added some orange. Now, I'm wiping off my brush on a paper towel, and I'm picking a bit of lighter orange, and I'm smudging the colors to give it a softer look. Okay. That's how it has turned out. Now, there's one more task we need to do for that. I'm picking some red, a brighter red. If it's too bright, you can add some orange. Now add that along the bottom line. See that. I'm actually applying the paint below that horizon line. I'm pushing that down so that I won't get rid of the orange. Anyway, I think we can add some more orange. There isn't enough in the sky. So I'm picking some more bright orange, and I'm adding that one more time into the sky because I want the bottom part to be more intense compared to the top. This is where we have the sun. This area will be more brighter and prominent. That's how it has turned out. Next, we're going to start adding the clouds. For that, I'm going to make some orange with indico, more orange and less indico. Now, using that color, I'm going to add the clouds onto the sky. If you paint this stow water, you dap it on a paper towel before you start. Otherwise, they will spread a lot. Now I'm going to add the clouds using that color. So the color I'm using here is a mix of a little of indico and a lot of orange. Now you can start adding the clouds however you like. I'm adding them on the area where we have basil orange. Then I'm going towards the top. See that. When I'm adding them, I'm deliberately leaving some gaps in between, your sky will look more natural and more beautiful if you have that blue color in between. Don't add a lot of them close to each other. Whenever you feel your paint is too watery, dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, they won't have a proper shape. They will spread into the background a lot, and it will be very difficult to retain the shape of the clouds. So I have added quite a lot of clouds, and I'm really loving it. You can see how beautiful it has turned out. Maybe we can add a bit more towards the bottom. And that's it. So that's a gorgeous sky. Now we can leave this for trying. And after that, we can start with the bottom part. So the sky has dried completely. Now our next task is to paint the ground. For that, I'll be using two colors, brown and paints gray. I'm starting with brown. I will go with a medium to darker tone. And I will apply that onto the top part. Then towards the bottom, I will introduce more darker tones. If you don't have brown, just go with burn Cena, both the colors will work. You can see the tonal value I'm using here. It's quite bright. Okay. So that is brown. Now with the same brush, I'm going to pick some paints gray, and I will apply that along the bottom. It's again a dakoton. It's not too light. I want the colors to be very dark and intense. That is brown and paints gray. Now, if there is a lot of paint on your brush, dab it on paper towel, and then add a few lines from either side towards the center. We want to retain some brown at the center, and the bottom part on either side has to be more darker. Maybe you can add a bit of orange at the center. I'm using my other brush and I'm picking some orange. I'm adding that on top of the brown, only at the center. It doesn't need to be too orangish, add a little over there because that's where we're going to add the sun. So there might be some sunlight reflecting on the ground as well. Just add some orange only at the center. The rest can be all brown and darker tones. You can see it is not to oranges. We just need to make it a little more lighter. That's all. That's a base layer. Now, I'm going to apply some more taker tones onto the areas where I'm going to introduce the fence. With the same brush, I'm picking some paints gray, and I'm randomly adding some taker tones onto the ground. We have two wooden posts there and one on the other side. That's it. Those textures can stay as it is. You don't need to smart it to blend it. Let it be that way, and let it dry. Okay, so that is dried up completely. Next, we're going to add the landscape in the background. And for that as well, we'll be using mostly brown and paints gray. At the center, where we're going to place the sun over here, we will introduce some orange and reddish colors. Then for the rest of the area, we'll simply go with brown and paints gray. So go with any of your medium size brush or a smaller brush. We don't want these landscapes to be to. We want a low lying landscape. So first time I'm picking a little of orange with my size number six sun brush, and I'm going to add a shape right at the center. Just a small irregular shape. On the top, you can add some teeny tiny shapes and patterns to make it look like there are some leaves or something there. Now I'm picking some red and I'm adding that towards the bottom. So on the top, I have some orange and towards the bottom and onto either side. I'm adding a bit of red. Okay, that's it. Now we can go with brown. Now I'm going to add that onto either side. Only at the center where we have the sun, we want the colors to be more reddish and orangish. Then onto either side, we're going to go with brown and paints gray. We can add a bit towards the bottom as well. Only at the top, we want to retain that red and orange shade. The rest is all brown. Now let's tabu brush on a paper towel, and let's gently smudge it to give it a better finish. That's the center part. I'm pretty happy with the colors. Now I'm going to go back with brown and I'm going to fill up the rest. I think along with brown, I will also add some paint s cray to make it darker and I will use that tucker tone for the rest of the area. Only at the center, I want that brownish and reddish tones. The rest is going to be darker, and I'm also leaving that wooden post. I'm not adding any paint onto that. I'm leaving some gaps in between wherever I have those wood and post. Now let's much it. Retain those reddish and orange tones at the center, then onto the rest of the area, go with a darker brown and fill it up. Here, also, we have a wooden post. Stopping right there and then I will continue after that wooden post. That's the center part. This is the major part. The rest is going to be just darker tones. You don't need to think much when you're painting the rest. First, do this part, the center, where you have that glowing portion. For the rest, you can just go with paints gray acts, or can go the darker brown and simply add some shapes like this. Go the irregular shape, don't make it the same hight throughout. At some places, it can be higher, and at some places, it can be lower. This will add more realistic value to your painting. Now I'm going to continue. On the right, I'm planning to make it a bit more higher and towards the left, I will make it lower. That's my plan. You can add them however you like. The main reason why I'm doing this is because I want to retain some of the red in the sky. If I make it this high on the left as well, I will end up covering all those reddish stones in the sky. I'm really loving the center and the weight is turning out. Now let's continue with the left. Just like I said earlier over here, I'm going with very small patterns. I'm not making it higher as the right side. I don't want to cover up the ant or red and orange. Okay. So this one is going to be super tiny. All right, so that's a background landscape. I think the painting is in a very good shape right now. The colors are very beautiful. Now the next task is to add the sun and also those wooden post. We can add the sun right now, so clean your brush, and after this as dried, we can add the wooden post. Now, to add the sun, I'm going to pick a little white waclar. I already have some left on my palette, which I use for the sky. So I'm picking that. We don't need a lot of paint just a little is all we need. It can be white guash or white waclar. Now let's add the sun. I'm going to place it right at the center, and it's going to be super tiny. What's this? Go with a similar size. I'm not going to show the entire circle. It's more like a half circle. I'm only showing the top part. See that? That's a size you have to go with. Don't make it tope, and we don't need a full circle. Show only a half circle right where you have that glowing part. Now the only task left is to paint those wooden post, but before that, we'll have to wait for this to dry. Now let's go the final step, which is painting those wooden post. For this, we will start with orange first, and we'll add that onto the areas closer to the sun. Then we will go with brown and paints gray. Start with some orange or vermin and add that onto the interior side. So this is the side which is closer to the sun. Now for the asphal, I'm adding some orange on the inner side. Now, let's go brown. So with the same brush, I'm picking some brown. It can be brown or burn cena. Now, let's add that right next orange, and let's smudge it. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. You can just give it a rough blend or a rough smudge. Okay. So that is orange and brown. Let's add brown onto the other one asp. And then we can switch to paints gray to add the deeper tones. Only for the wooden post that are closer to the sun, you have to start with orange or red and add that towards the inner side, which is closer to the sun. This will give an impression of the sunlight falling on those wooden post, and obviously, it will add a lot of character to your painting. Next, I'm picking some paints gray, and I'm going to add that towards the bottom, as well as onto the exterior side. Add some paints gray at the bottom, and also on to the right. See that. I'm modifying the shape as well. That's the first wooden post. I need to smudge the color. But before that, I will add some paints cray onto this one as well. Now, I'm dabbing it on a paper towel, and I'm smudging it so that it won't look like a line. Keep smudging the colors to give it a better texture. That's it. The first two wooden posts are done. Now we have one more to go. For that one, I won't use any orange or red. I will go with brown. I will add that onto the inner side. I mean the left, then on to the right, I will simply add some paints gray because this one is quite far from the sun, and there won't be much of sunlight falling on it. First, you can add brown onto the entire shape. Then pick some paints gray and add that onto the bottom, and also onto the right. I'm adding some paint scy at the bottom and also onto the right. That's it. If you want to make your painting look more interesting, maybe you can add some strings or rop on it, or maybe you can add some birds flying on the sky. Those additions, you can add onto your painting, to give it more character. Now, before I call it done, I'm going to modify the shape of the landscape on the right side. Just making it a bit more higher. I don't know, for some reason, I just felt like doing it. This one is completely optional. If you're happy with your painting, you can call it done or you can add some foliage on the top as well, maybe somewhere over here or on the top. That's all for the day. Our painting is in a good shape. I think we can call it done. Now we can peel off the masking tape. And here is a gorgeous glowing sunset for the day. I'm really loving the sky and the glowing part. It has turned out really beautiful. So it's just a matter of using the right colors where you have the sun, go with that medium tones and brighter tones, and they don't to either side, go with some darker tones. It's a pretty simple technique. You can use the same technique in your future paintings as well. So if you haven't tried it yet, do give it, let me know if you liked it. 32. DAY 28 - Stormy Sky: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 28 of painting mini ticar landscapes. Today, we're going to try a stormy sky. I know painting skies can be a bit challenging, especially for a Binner, but this one is quite easy. In way let's start by looking at the colors we will need. For the stormy sky, the only color I have used as indico. We'll play with different tonal values of Itco to create that dramatic sky. Now, the indico that I'm going to use for this painting is from Shinhan. This one is more like a grayish indigo. Usually for all the other paintings I have done so far, the indigo I used is from art philosophy. This one is more bluish, whereas this one from Shinhan, it's more like a grayish indigo, so there is a bit of difference in the pigment they have used, and that's why the colors are different. If you feel our indigo is more bluish, you can add a bit of paint screen to it. The next color you will need is lemon yellow. You can see a lighter green over here. It's a mix of lemon yellow and sap green. So that's our next color. Only on the top, closer to that greenery, we will add a lighter green. The rest is going to be a medium green and a darker green. So the next color you will need is sacren. That's our medium green, and then to make it darker, I will be adding some paints gray. Then to make it darker, we will also need some paints gray, so that is our next color. It's a very simple painting with a very simple color palette. We only need these four colors, indico for the sky. Lemon yellow, sap green, and pain screen for the meadow and the greenery. Those are the only four colors you will need. Now, to add those tiny tiny births in the sky, you will also need some bolt watercor or white as, these ones here. Okay, so that summarizes all the colors you will need for today's painting. Here is a closer look. Indico for the sky, lemon yellow, sap green, and paints grey for the rest of the details. So keep all the colors ready on your palette. Let's give it a try. We will start by adding a line to separate the meadow and the sky. I'm going for a sloping line. From here, I'm bringing the line a bit down. You can either go the straight line or a sloping line. It's totally up to you. That's the kind of line I'm going with. The bottom is the meadow, and the top part is the sky obviously. We already spoke about the colors. This is the indico I will be using. It's more of a darker indico. If yours is more bluish, you can add a bit of pain screen into it. Now, this is the only color you will need for the sky. So when you have the paint ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky, using any of your clean brush. Always make sure your brush is clean before you start. And also don't add too much water. We only need a shiny coat. My sky is evenly wet. Now we can start applying the paint. For that, I'm going to go with my size number eight on brush. Make sure your brush is clean. Now we're going to start with a lighter tone of indico. We'll apply a lighter tone on the top. Then gradually towards the bottom, we'll make it darker. This is the indico I'm using. It's from Shinhan. It's a slightly darker indico, not very bluish. It's a little grayish. I think I will start from the bottom and then go towards the top. Towards the bottom, I'm using a slightly darker tone. See that. First, apply your paint along that line. It's more of a medium or darker tone. It's not too light. We can keep applying this color and graduate towards the top. We can make it lighter. Okay. So I'm picking the same tonal value again, and I'm adding that at the bottom. So towards the bottom, I want a very dark, cloudy, moody sky. And towards the top, I want to add more of clouds. That's why I'm adding more taco tone at the bottom. Okay, that's the bottom part. Now I'm going to make it lighter towards the top. So picking some clean water, and I'm making it really light towards the top. Add your paint in a similar way, lighter on the top and darker at the bottom. Now onto this background, we're going to add the cloud. So I'm keeping this brush aside, and I'm going to go with my size number six reh. I have better control with this brush than the other one. Now I'm picking a slightly taco toe of intco, and I'm starting to add the clouds onto the background. On the top, we have a lighter tone. That's where I'm adding clouds. I'm leaving some space in between where you can see that lighter tone. If your paint is to watery, dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, they will spread a lot. Now, in between, you can use a much more taker toon to add the clouds to give it more dramatic look. Every time you feel your paint is really water, dab it on a paper towel, what the content of your paint is really important when you're adding the clouds, water, they will spread a lot and they won't stay in a shape. Have randomly added some clouds onto the background. Now, I will add some more darker clouds towards the bottom. You can keep on modifying the shape of your clouds. Do this while your background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time. Over here, we can add a darker ones as we have a darker tone in the background. Otherwise, it won't be visible. On the top, we can go the medium tone. I'm just adding some more paint onto this corner. And I'm introducing some more clouds over here. Try to retem some of that lighter space. If you cover it all, you will end up having no clouds, be really careful to leave that lighter tone in the background when you're adding the clouds. I'm adding some more over here. At any point, if you're feeling happy with your sky, you can stop it there. Just because I'm adding more darker tones and more clouds, doesn't mean you have to do the same. That is really dark. I will just it. I wanted to make it more dramatic, so I'm just adding some more takatons, but I'm not really sure if that was a good idea. It looks too dark. I will quickly smut it before it goes out of control. So I'm just pushing and pulling that paint into the sky and I'm spreading it out. Now it doesn't look too bad. O, it was really dark. It looks a bit weird at the bottom. There is a line over here, so I'm just spreading that as well. And yeah, that's a stormy sky. I'm really happy with the sky. The only reason why I don't use this indica too much is because it has granulating property. I'm not at all a fan of granulating waclars. And that is the main reason why I always stick with the one from art philosophy. It doesn't have a granulating property. And because of that, I love it. Anyways, that's a sky, now let's leave it for drying. The first step is done, the sky has dried beautifully. Now, the second step is to paint the meadow. And for that, I'm going to start with a lighter green, which is going to be a mix of lemon yellow and sap green. We don't need a lot of lighter tune. We only need a little to add on the top. Towards the bottom, we will go with sap green and a darker green. And in case, if you have a lighter green with you, you can use it directly. You don't need to mix sap green with lemon yellow. This one is mostly lemon yellow. I have only added a very little of sap green. Next with the same brush, I'm going to pick more of sap cream. Then I will add that towards the bottom. I only want to retain a little of lemon yellow on the top. The rest is going to be medium green and darker green. Keep on adding a darker tones and medium tones towards the bottom. While retaining a little of lighter tone on the top, you can add some lines and some textures onto the background. It doesn't need to be a clean blend. You can add the paint, however you like. Now I'm going to pick sap cream, and I'm going to add that at the bottom. The colors are still looking very light, we want to make it more darker. Let's pick some paints gray. Let's add that at the bottom. Only if you create that contrast, your painting will look more beautiful. Right now we can see if we have a lighter tone on the top, then some medium greens and darker greens. Now I'm going to add some lines onto the background. I will use my other brush. Now I'm picking some sap green. I'm adding a few lines onto the background. You can dab it on a paper towel and smudge it to give it a better finish. Yeah, it's a pretty simple step. You have to start with a lighter tone. Then a medium tune and a darker tone towards the bottom. Then using your medium green and darker green, add some lines onto the background. If you feel those lines are too much, if they're too prominent, you can smudge it with a clean dry brush. I'm adding some more lines on the top on either side. I only want a little of lighter green at the center. You can keep on repeating the same step until you're happy with the texture and the colors. If you feel, there's a lot of lighter green, go with the medium green and add some more lines. And if you feel there isn't enough darker tones at the bottom, you can go with some more paint screen and add that again. So my idea is to have only a little of lighter tones and more of darker tones. Only along the top, closer to the sky, I have left some lighter tone. The rest is more of darker tones. That's how it has turned out. I'm quite happy with the colors and the weight is looking. Now, let's leave it for drying. Okay, so that is dried up. Now let's go the landscape in the background. And for that, I'm starting with paint screy first. The brush I'm using here is size number six. Go with any of your medium size brush. Now, first, I'm going to add an irregular line along the horizon. You can either go a straight line or an irregular line. To me, I feel an irregular line will make it look more beautiful, but it's totally up to you. So I'm adding a messy irregular line as if my hand is shivering. And the color I'm using here is paints gray. You can just add if you remember for some of the other paintings, we started by adding some tiny, tiny lines close to each other to make it look like there is some grass in the background. You can follow the same technique here, but I'm not going in that much detail. This one is a much more rough line. Now onto the top, introducing a random shape, using the same color. Right after this, I will co with sap cream, and I will add that on the top. That's a darker tone. Now with the same h. I'm going to pick some sap cream. Now, let's continue that irregular shape with green. See that. At the bottom, we have a darker tone, and on the top, we are using Sap cream. I'm not really sure if the colors are really visible. Everything looks like a darker green, but that's fine. Let's continue. At the bottom, we have paint screen and onto the top. We are using Sap creen. Let's continue the same till the other end. At some places, you can make it higher, and at some places you can make it lower, to make it look more realistic. It can be a bigger pattern in between. Those things are totally up to you. You can modify the shape however you like. So here, I have made it a bit more bicker. See that. Now maybe towards the other end, I will make it shorter. I'm switching back to paint screen, and I'm continuing to add those tiny tiny lines. I will do this till the other end. Then I will introduce some shapes using paints cream first, and then I will switch to sap cream. Okay, that is paint screen. Now I'm going to pick some sap cream, and I will continue adding that shape on the top. You don't need to think too much. Just keep on adding that shape. It's just an irregular shape. You can add some tiny, tiny patterns on the top to make it look more beautiful. I know right now, it all looks the same, green and paints. Everything is looking like a darker to. We're not really able to see the difference. But that's okay. Don't worry about it now. Once we're done with this, we will go with a lighter tone, and we'll add some textures onto this, to give it a more realistic look. Okay, this part is done. Now with the same brush, I'm picking some lemon yellow, and I will mix that with green. Okay. Now, with that paint, I'm going to add some tiny tiny patterns onto the landscape we have in the background. You just need to keep on adding some tt and some tiny patterns onto that greenery. It doesn't need to be perfect, and there is no particular role you have to follow. Just add that in between. At this point, it might look a bit messy, but that's totally fine. It is part of the process. Now, Bera paper towel, and then with a slightly dry brush, just mug it. This will leave a beautiful texture and pattern there. See that. We have some lighter tone on the top, then some medium tones in between and a taco tone at the bottom. I think you can clearly see the difference it made earlier it was very plain and empty. Now there are some realistic textures there, and that is exactly what we're trying to do. Now, the only thing you have to be careful is that, this needs to be done while your background is still a little wet. If it has dried completely, you won't be able to smug it. That's something you have to be careful about. That is it. With that, we are done with a landscape in the background. Now, there is one more task left with just adding the birds, and that is completely optional. Only if you want to add some more character to your painting, you could do that. Otherwise, you can just ignore it. Now, to add the birds, I'm going to pick up some white watercl. You can go the white waterclar or white quash. The birds are going to be super tiny. So the bh I'm going to go with is size number two. I'm picking the paint directly from the tube. Now I'm going to add few teeny tiny birds under the sky, using white what clar. I'm going to place them where I have the darker clouds over here. Go with the super tiny bird. You can add as many as you want. When you add them on a darker background, it will look really prominent. See that. It's a super tiny simple bird. Now I'm going to add the second one. Adding another one over here. Maybe a few more. They are super tiny. C in a similar size. Don't make it too big. Usually, we use paints great to add the birds. But for this painting as the sky is quite dark, that won't be visible, and that's a reason why we're using white here. I have added quite a few birds. I think it turned out good. Anyway, that's our painting for the day. Now it's time to peel off the masking tape. And here is our gorgeous mini landscape for the day. I love the sky and those tiny birds. And even the colors of the meadow. I think it's a lovely painting. Give it a try if I get to try it. Anyways, that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining. I'll be back here soon with our next mini a co landscape. 33. DAY 29 - Seaside Evening: Hello, my lovely friends. Welcome to Day 29. Our painting for the day is a colorful sunset by the beach. It's a lovely color combination and an EC 12. Anyway, as usual, let's start by having a look at the colors. For the sky, I have used three colors, a violet on the top, then some pink at the middle and some yellow at the bottom. So the sky is a color combination of three colors. The violet I'm going to use is from Shin. This one is permanent violet. Instead of violet, you can also use blue, if that is what you prefer. This one is a very beautiful violet. You can also use purple or any other color of your choice. So that's color. Now, the second color is pink. This one is a basal pink again from Shinhan. I have used this color for other paintings aspe. I'm guessing you are familiar with this color. If you don't have any kind of pink, you can use crimson or care. You can use a brighter tone or a lighter tone. Or you can just add some white at cour with crimson or carmine or any sort of red or close pigment to get a similar color. Now, the next color you will need is yellow. The one I'm going to use here is Naples yellow. It's again a Pasal yellow, but you can go with any yellow you prefer. It doesn't need to be a pasal yellow. You can use indian ellow, Cambo yellow, or any other yellow. Okay, so those are the three colors I'll be using for the sky. Now, for the C as well, I'll be using pink and violet. Now the next two colors you will need is brown and pin s gray. I don't have enough paint here, but I'm just going to add just with that. This one is permanent brown. Instead of brown, you can also use burn Cena. Now the last color you will need is pins gray. We'll be using this color to add all the per toons and the final details. That summarize the colors you will need for today's painting. You can change and modify the colors as you prefer. It doesn't need to be the exact same color combination. As I said, instead of violet, maybe you can go with a bright or pink or even blue. Here are the colors you will need, violet, pink and yellow for the sky, then brown and paints gray for the rest of the details. Keep all the colors ready on your palette, and let's quickly give it a try. Before we start, we need to add a quick and simple sketch. You will have to add the horizon line, which is a bit below the center of the paper. Next, you need to add an irregular line, right below that to separate the ground and the sea. So go for an irregular line. You can add that however you want. For me, I'm making it a bit higher on the right. Okay, the space you have in between is a s. This is all you need. That's a sketch. Now, make sure you have the colors ready on your palette before you start. So you will need any kind of yellow, then some pink and also violet for your sky. Now, when you have the colors ready, start by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. We just need a general at of water, don't add a lot and your brush multiple times. Just to be sure the coat of water is even. If you're using the same brush for painting as well, there are chances there might be some leftover paint on your brush. So before you start, always make sure it is clean. All right, so my background is evenly wet. Now, to apply the paint, I'm going to go with my size number eight on brush. First, I'm making sure it is clean. Okay. Now, the very first color I'm going to pick is violet. I will go with the medium tone, and I'm applying that on the top of the sky. Use a brighter tome. Otherwise, when the background dries up, the colors will look a little dull. Okay, so that's a kind of tonal value I'm going wet. Next, I'm going to clean my brush, and I'm switching to the second color, which is pink. You can use pink or crimson or carmine or rose or any color you prefer. Okay. Now I'm going to add that right next to violet. Now, we'll have to blend these two colors. Don't run your bridge downwards, Go only upward so that the pink will stay clean. Okay. If you want to pick some more pink, you could do that. Now quickly run your brush, only towards a top and we get a clean blend. Now let's clean out brush again, and then we can go with our third color which is yellow. In my case, it is Naples yellow. As I said earlier, you can go with any yellow you prefer, or even orange. Now I'm adding that at the top and I'm going to blend that with pink. So that's our base layer. Now, just in case if you want to add some more paint onto the sky, you could do that. I'm just adding some more yellow at the bottom. Then I think I might add some more pink as well. The pink is not very bright. Especially on the left over here. Now, I'm going to run my brush one more time towards the top. Okay, so that's a base layer. We have created a blend of three colors. Next, we need to add the clouds. And for that, I'm going to go with violet again. And before I start, I'm making sure the paint is not too watery. I have taken some violet on my brush. Now onto this wet background, I'm going to add in some clouds. You can go with any kind of tonal value you prefer. It can be a medium tone or a darker tone. And add in the clouds wherever you want to. Please don't add any clouds onto the yellow part because yellow and violet are complimentary colors on the color wheel. So if you mix them together, they will end up creating a muddy x. So you should focus on the ADS where we have pink and violet. Let's pick some more paint, a darker tone and add some clouds on the top. If you want to create a drama, it is always good to play with different tonal values when you're adding the clouds. Over here, we have to go the taco tone. Otherwise, it won't be visible. But onto pink, it is okay. You can use a medium tone. We can add a few more over here. It's a beautiful color combination. If you're trying out the same sky on a bigger scale, maybe you can start with blue. You can go with blue, violet, pink, and then yellow. Anyway, I'm going to add a few more clouds on the top. Whenever you're adding clouds, the wetness of your paper is really important. At any point, if you feel it is starting to dry, it is a good time to stop adding more clouds. That's how my sky has turned out. Now we'll have to wait for this to dry. The sky has dried completely. Next, we can start with the s, and for that as well, I'm going to use pink and violet. I'm starting with pink. First, I will apply that onto this entire area. Then gradually I will introduce some violet to give it more textures. Go with pink or or crimson or any color you were using. Apply that onto that small strip we have in between. The brush I'm using here, size number six. Go with any of your medium size brush to have better control. Now, with the same brush, I'm going to pick some violet. If it's de watery, dap it on a paper towel. You can pick a medium tone. Now, simply add some lines from either side and also at the bottom. See that? Once you have added those lines, you can dab on a paper towel and remove the excess amount of water, and then you can just simply spread it or smudge it. I think we can add a few more lines. I'm picking a little more violet. I'm adding a few more lines onto the background. When you're adding these lines, don't add a lot, we still need some pink in the background. Be very careful about that. You can add them from either side and also a few at the bottom. So that's how it has turned out. Now, our next task is to paint the ground, but before that, we'll have to wait for this to try. Okay. So let's take a short break and come back after this has dried completely. Okay, so we have painted the sky and the sea. Next, we have to paint the ground. And to paint that, I'm switching back to my size number eight brush, and the two colors you will need is brown and paints gray. It can be burns in or brown. Both the colors will work. So I'm starting out with brown, I'm picking a darker tone, and I'm applying that to the background. See that. So brown is more reddish, whereas, on the other hand, burn scena is more yellowish. That's only difference. For me, for some reason, I prefer using brown or burn scena. Only when I'm painting a sand area, like a seashore or a beach landscape, I prefer going with brown. Other than that, for most of my paintings, I prefer using brown or burn scena. Okay. So I've applied brown onto the entire area. Now, with my other brush, size number six, I'm going to add in some taker tones. Now, this one is a very simple casual cay kind of a step with any of your medium sized or a smaller brush. Pick some paints gray, a darker tone, and simply drop in that onto the wet background to create some texture. It doesn't need to be perfect. You can add the deeper tones, however you like, especially on the top. See that. Simply drop in that darker tones. It could be some small shapes or dots or anything. We are trying to create a texture here. So there is no rules that needs to be followed. You can simply keep on dropping that darker tone. While the background is still wet, add in a few at the bottom, and also at the top, we still need to have some brown in between. So don't get rid of that entirely. Okay. That's how I have apply the daker toones. We are painting an evening scene. Try to stick with medium tones and daker toons. Don't make it too light. I will drop in some more taco toones, randomly adding a few more. And then once I'm done with this, I'm going to add some mountains in the background, some smaller ones. First, I will pick some brown. You can either leave a horizon line actus or to give it some extra character. You can add some small mountains far away. That's a size I'm going with. It's a first one. Use burn Cena or brown and add in the shape first. You can compose your painting, however you like. I'm going to add them towards the left. Be careful about the size. If it's too big, your painting will go out of proportion. Now I will add burn more next to that. Go the irregular shape and go to the smaller size. That's a third one. Right now, the only color I have used is brown. Next with the same brush, I'm picking some paints gray, and I'm going to add a few lines onto the surface. Just a few. It's already super tiny. Don't put a lot of effort. Drop in some darker tones in between to give it more character. That's how it has turned out. Now, if you want to, at this point, you can wrap up your painting, or there is one more element we can add onto it. For that, I'm going to go with a smaller brush. It is nothing complicated. We're going to add some tall grassy patterns onto the right side where it is elevated. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with the pointed tip so that we can add those thin delicate lines. I'm going to add them over here. Is just some simple long curvy lines. I'm going to add a lot of them close to each other. That? So some of them are taller, some of them are shorter. They are long and cov. Add them in a similar way. Don't make all of them look the same. Some of them can be really tall, and some of them can be short. Add them in all direction. That's a right side. Now, I'm going to continue adding the same lines towards the left side. Go with any of your smaller brush or a brush with a pointed tip so that you get thin delicate lines. Now, while you add them on the top, you can add a few towards the bottom as well. Just to give it a continuation. They won't be very prominent, but that's still okay. You can just add a few. Now towards the left, I'm going to add more. But towards the left, I'm thinking of making them shorter. I don't want them to cover up the sea and those mountains. Towards the left, I will keep them short. Or in case if you don't want to add them towards the left, you can stop it at this point as well. Now I'm going to add a few more in between to give it more denser look. I'm going to fill up all those gaps. From that bottom line, I'm adding some lines towards the top. To fill in all those gaps we have in between. Similarly, I will continue the same pattern towards the left. The only difference will be, they will be shorter. It's the same lines. As I mentioned earlier, the step is completely optional. Only if you want to add that extra element, you could do that. Otherwise, your painting is in a good shape. You don't really need to add these grassy lines. Okay. Now, I'm going to continue the same towards the left, but they are going to be shorter. The only thing I'm not really happy with is the color of the sea. I think there's a lot of pink. I wanted more of violet. There wasn't a violet when I applied those lines, but then I think when it dried up, everything is kind of the same tonal value. The violet is not really prominent. In a way, no, mind. Let's continue adding these grassy lines. So the brush I'm using here is size number two. It has got a really nice pointed tip, and I could add these lines quite easily. So try to go with any of your detailing brush or miniature brush or any kind of similar brushes, and then keep on adding these lines until you reach the left end. Along with these, you can also add a few towards the bottom. Otherwise, it will look very weird and strange only to have those grassy pattern on the top, not anywhere else. Now, I'm going to quickly add these patterns onto this entire area, and with that, we can call it done. Oh. Okay, my lovely friends, I'm done adding those patterns. And here is the final result. Now let's wait for this to dry before we peel off the masking tape. Okay, so that is dried completely. Early, we had a solid line on the top. Now that is gone or when everything has dried up, and it is looking really beautiful. Just like I said earlier, the only thing I'm not really happy with is the color of the sea. The rest is really beautiful. Anyway, let's peel up the masking tape and take a closer look at our painting. And here's a finished painting. I hope you all enjoyed it. It's a beautiful color combination and a beautiful composition. If you are yet to try it, do give it a try. Okay, so that's all for the day. Thank you so much for joining me. I will be back here super soon with our last mini watercolor landscape. 34. DAY 30 - Dreamy Evening: Hello, dear friends. Welcome to day 30, which means we are on the final day of this 30 day aticar journey. And here's the painting that we're trying out today. It's a gorgeous escape. I just love the way the sky has turned out, and ENT can feel of this painting. Anyway, as usual, let's start by looking at the colors we will need. For the sky, the major color you will need is a pasil orange. I'll be just mixing some orange with white watercolor to create that color. That's a color you see on the top. Now towards the bottom, I will use a pasil red. It's going to be the same combination. I will use some red and white together. First, I will start with orange. The one I'm going to use is brilliant orange. You can use any orange you have caught, or you can also use ermalin. Into this, we will just add some white watercolor, and that's how we're going to create that passel orange. That's a first color. If I make some white water color with it, the color will turn into a beautiful pasal orange. See that? That's the color you see on the top. Depending on the amount of orange you're adding, the color will look more intense. You can see the difference. Now into the same mix, I will add some red, and that's the color you see along the bottom. Towards the top, we have a pasal orange. Then along the bottom, towards a horizon, I used a pasal red. These are the two major colors you will need for the sky, Basal orange and a Pasal red. The red I have used here is spiral red. You can go with any red you have got. This one is a very bright and bold red, but we'll be using a Pasal tone of this color. Along with these two colors, you will also need some white watercolor to turn them into pasal colors. Along with these two, you will also need one more color for the sky, which is indigo. Let me show you how to mix and create that color. Into this mix, add a bit of indico to create a muddy color like this, and that's the color you see along the horizon. We'll be using the same mix to add the clouds as well. The color will totally depend on the amount of indico you're adding into the mix. Okay. So the next color you will need is indico. We only need a little of paint for the sky towards the bottom, as well as to add the clouds. For the sky, you will need orange, red, and indigo, and also some white. Okay. Now, there are two more colors you will need, which is burn Cena and paints gray. For the sandy area, I will go with a mix of burn scena and paints gray to create a color which is more like burn tamper. Then for the sea, as well as for the landscape far away, I will go with paints gray. If you want to use burn timber, you can use it directly. This one is burn scena from Shinhan. Now, what the final color you will need is paints gray. We will use a lighter tone for the s, and then onto that. We will use some medium tone and darker tone to create the texture. That summarize all the colors you will need for this painting. It's a really beautiful painting. It is one of my most favorite from the NTE collection. I'm very excited to take you through the process. These are the colors you will need. Keep them ready before you start. You will need orange, red, indigo, burn sina and paints gray. Keep all the colors ready on a palette and let's give it a try. The first thing I'm going to do is to add the sketch. So first, I will add the horizon line. Okay. Now, over here, I will add an irregular line to separate the sea and the shore. We'll also be adding a landscape far away on the right side. So add another line a little below the horizon. Then simply add a rough shape. We can modify this as we paint. For now simply indicate a shape there. Next, I'm going to add a simple aviar line over here to separate the sea and the sandy part. Okay, that's it. That's a sketch. I'm hoping you guys have the colors ready on your palette. When you have them ready, stap by applying a coat of water onto the entire sky. Make sure your brush is clean. Now gently apply a coat of water and make it evenly wet. So my background is evenly wet. Now to apply the paint onto the sky. I'm going to pick my size number eight fish. First, I'm making sure it is clean. Now I will start by picking a little of orange, but I don't have any white on my palette. The very first step is to squeeze out some white ticar onto your palette. We just need white ticar. It doesn't need to be. Now I'm picking some orange. Mixing that with white. It's a light tone. I have added more white and less orange. This is the color I'm starting with. It's a beautiful color. Now apply that on the top of the sky. Gradually, pick more orange and then towards the center. Apply that brighter orange, give it a blend. We have a lighter orange on the top and a brighter orange at the bottom. Now into the same mix, I'm adding some red, and that's a color I'm going to use along the bottom part towards the horizon. First add a straight line. Then fill up that area, and blend that with orange. We have a lighter orange on the top, a brighter orange at the center then some red at the bottom. Now, towards the bottom, I'm going to add some indico. I won't be adding indico actus. I'll just pick a little, and I will mix that with this color we have created here. It's more like a muddy brown or a muddy gray. Now I'm going to apply that along the horizon. I think it's better if I go with a smaller brush. This one is size number six. Now I'm going to apply that towards the bottom. Only over here, just to make our sky look more interesting. Along the bottom, I'm making it a bit more darker. Only a little, I'm not adding a lot. Now with the same color, I'm going to add some clouds onto this wet background. But before that, I feel like adding some more red into the background. The red is not really visible when I added those darker tones. So I'll just clean my brush, pick some red again. The same color I used earlier, and I'm going to add that right over here. The red wasn't really visible. That's why I'm doing this again. Okay. Now it looks fine. Next, we're going to add the cloud, so I'm going back with the same mix of violet and that red. Let me tell you the color can be a bit different according to the amount of indigo you're adding, and that's totally fine. Now onto this wet background, I'm going to add some clouds. At any point, if you feel your paint is to watery, dab it on a paper towel. Otherwise, the clouds will spread a lot, and it will be very difficult to control the way they're spreading. That's the shape I'm going with. They are small clouds. We just need a muddy brown, that these clouds. Now, I'm going to add a few towards the top over here. I don't want to make it too dramatic, but I still want some more clouds. If you're looking for a simple scar, you can just add one or two small clouds and you can stop it there, or if you want to make it more dramatic, you can continue adding more and more into your background. Only if your background is still wet. At any point, if you feel your background is starting to dry, call it done. Don't add any more clouds. My background has started to dry, especially on the top. The clouds are not really spreading. I think it's a good point to stop. See that? It looks like a very rough shape. So I'm trying to blend it with a bed brush. But that didn't work. So I think it's a good time to stop adding more clouds. Okay, so that's my sky. I don't want to ruin it. So I'm going to call it down, and I'm going to leave it for drying. That is completely. Now let's paint the C. For that as well, I'm going to go with a mix of that basal red and indico. I will add more intco into this mix. You can either go with this mix or you can just use paints gray acts. You can go the medium tone of paints gray, and add that onto the entire C. It's a medium tone. It's not too light. Go with the similar tonal value. Into the basal red, you have created earlier, add some indico or just go with the medium tone of paints gray. Don't use indico acts. We need a color which is more like gray. Okay. Now, let's apply that color onto this little part. It's a very small part. Okay. So right now we have applied a solid wash. Now into this, we are going to add some lines and some textures using a darker tone. Right now, it is a simple plain wash. Okay. Now, to add the lines, I'm going to go with my smaller brush. This one is size number six. Now into the same mix, I'm going to add more indigo or maybe more paint screen. We just need a darker tone. Now I'm dapping it on a paper towel, just to make sure my paint is not too watery. Now, simply add some lines onto this background, while it is still a little wet. Just some lines are all we need. It's just a small section. We're not going to add a lot of details. So go with the taco toon. Maybe you can use paints cactus. Now simply add some lines onto that background. This is just the first round. We will add one more round of details. This left corner has dried up, so I'm picking some water, and I'm smudging that. You can see the kind of lines and textures I have added. It is not too much. If you want to add some more lines, you could do that. But be sure to go with a paint that is not too dark and too watery. We want that lines to be seen. Okay? Those slightly thicker lines will look like waves. In between add one or two thicker lines, not a lot. Okay. So that's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with the colors and the weight is starting to look. That's it. Now, let's leave it for drying before we go the next steps. That also has dried. Now our next task is to paint the sandy part. The base layer is going to be a mix of burn sina and paints gray. I want a dull moody brown, so I'm picking some burn sina I'm mixing that with paints gray. This one is more like burnt umper. If you have burnt umber, you can use it act, or you can mix and create a color similar to this. It's quite dark. Now I'm going to apply that onto this bottom part. See the color. Go with the similar tonal value. Don't make it too light. Now, apply that onto the entire area, following this line. Now gradually, we'll have to introduce more taco tones and textures onto this. For now, apply a solid wash. The brise I'm using right now is size number eight. Now let's apply some taco tones. I'm picking more paints gray, and I'm adding that to what the bottom and a little in between. I'm picking that older color, and with that, I'm smudging it. I don't want them to be too prominent, but I still want some textures and darker tones. Just push and pull the paint and create some texture there. In between, you can add some dots and some small shapes. Just randomly add a few lines and dots and shapes onto the background to create some texture. If you feel they're too much, clean your brush and go back with your previous color and then smudge it. You have to do this while your background is still wet. Don't wait for a longer time. If it dries up, it won't have a blurry look. That's how it has turned out. I think it's in a good shape. Now, we'll let that dry. In the meantime, we have two more tasks. The first one is adding that far away landscape, and then the second one is adding some more textures on the sea. For that, I'm going with a taco tone of paint screen. The brush I'm using here a size number six. First, I will start by adding a line a little below the horizon. The same way how we add the sketch at the beginning, it's not visible. So I'm adding that line again with paints gray. Now we can simply add some shapes on the top. Towards the center, I'm making it shorter. Then towards the right. I will make it a bit more taller, not too much. Go the darker tone. This one is a really darker tone of paints gray. That's why it is looking too much like black. Now let's finish of the shape. Go with any of your smaller brush or a medium size brush and simply add some shapes onto the top. First, you can add a straight line. A little below the horizon, then simply add some rough shapes on to the top like this. Using a darker tone. Okay. You can see how beautiful it is turning out when we introduce those darker details. Now, the same brush, I'm going to add some textures onto the scene. For that, I need a paint which is dry. So grab your paper towel and dab your brush on it. Now that dry paint, add some lines onto the background. You can add them wherever you like. There's nothing complicated here. Go the pain which is dry. Don't use a darker and bolder tone. Now, just add some dry lines onto the background to create some more texture. If you feel your paint is watery, dab it on a paper towel again. Then just add some lines. They can be longer or shorter, it doesn't matter. Simply add them in, to create some more texture. You can add them on the top or at the bottom. Add them however you want. If you really have got enough textures, you can stop it there. I'm loving it already, but I think I can add few more lines to give it a more complete look. I'm going to pick some more paint and I will add a few more dry lines onto the background. To add more textures. So I'm going to pick a bit more paint. It's already dry, so I don't need to dab it on a paper towel. Now I will add some more lines here and there. There is no particular order or anything I'm following. Wherever I feel like, I'm adding some more dry lines, using a slightly dakotn of paint screen. Okay. That's how it has turned out. I'm pretty happy with it. Now, there is one more thing that we have to do. For that, I'm going to go back with a white watercolor. I haven't added much water. It's a dry opaque paint. It's been a while, so the sandy part has dried already. If it's still wet, you'll have to wait for that to dry. Now over here, you have to add a line first, using white ticar or white ga. I already had some leftover white watercolor here. I'm just using that. But if you prefer using gas, you can go with that. First, add a simple line, an irregular line, using white paint. Now dab it on a paper towel and make it dry. Then towards the top, simply add some dry patterns. Towards the bottom, we need a clean line. Don't smudge it just randomly. Do it only towards the top. We are smudging the paint to create a wavy texture. Keep doing that. Until you're happy with the result. This one is a very small landscape. You don't need to put a lot of effort. First add in a line, an irregular line, then only towards the top, add in some right textures, and that's it. That's how it has turned out. I cannot tell you how much I love this mini watercolor landscape. I think it's a perfect one to end this 30 day watercolor challenge. Now I'm going to pat out the masking tape so that I can show you a closer look of this gorgeous painting. Actually, it's a very simple painting. There isn't a lot of elements, but I think it's a beauty of the color combination. It turned out really beautiful more than what I imagined. That's all for the day, give it a try if I get to try it, and with this, we are ending our 30 day watercolor journey. Thank you so much for painting along with me for all these 30 days, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in my next class.
