Autumn Leaves Coffee Cup Acrylic Painting LIVE Tutorial

hello this is angela anderson thanks for joining me for this acrylic painting tutorial in this video i'm going to be showing you how to paint a simple coffee cup with uh some autumn leaves i think it's going to be a really fun project for us today i'm going to try to keep it fairly simple so it'll be a little bit easier for beginners got my husband mark with me uh hey there everybody know what that hesitation for my uh husband yeah that's it let's get started [Music] alrighty so if you're new to our live shows you can ask questions during chat i'll try to answer them mark's going to be there to kind of moderate and help out so you can put your questions in all caps so you can see them um we don't answer all the questions but i'll try to get as many as we can in been painting for i don't know about 30 years now and so we do these shows to kind of just um help share my knowledge of painting with you it's just the way i approach painting it's not the best way maybe but it's uh kind of just uh really enjoy getting to share with you so if you enjoy the show you can give it a thumbs up and subscribe hopefully all right i'm trying to change my intro but that wasn't all that smooth i'm gonna have to figure it out maybe i need to write it down especially trying to figure out what i am to you what exactly that's um yes it's my husband okay my guy friend my guy friend over there my roommate my quarantine partner we've got a nine by 12 inch canvas today this is from frederick's pro series canvas board i've coated it with a um just a thin coat of yellow oxide to get us started just to give us an undertone um i don't prep my canvases i get a questions about that a lot i don't just sew them or do anything they come pre-prepared so there's no really reason to do anything to them except for just uh throw the paint on there go so um thank you to fredriks they're our canvas sponsor and we love their products i'm gonna go over our paints really quick here got carbon black burnt umber burnt sienna quinacridone burnt orange cadmium orange uh this one is a new one that we haven't used a whole lot quinacridone nickel azo gold but it's basically the exact colors of these leaves so i thought well i'm just going to pull it out and use it if you don't have it just use what whatever you've got that's similar i'll try to mix up something that's similar for you if you don't have that color indian yellow hue yellow oxide cadmium yellow light phthalo green yellow shade ultramarine blue doxazine purple and quinacridone magenta and then this is unbleached titanium titanium white and zinc white i had way too way more there than we're going to need it just came out really thick this is gloss glazing liquid so if you don't have these exact colors don't worry about it just use what you've got that's similar to what i'm using today the main colors that are like probably the most important is to have like a really good brown like a burnt umber or burnt sienna and then um like the yellow oxide cadmium yellow and quinacridone magenta and your ultramarine blue those colors um will get you just about any anything we need to mix but i like to use the colors that are already pre-mixed because it makes the shows go faster okay i'm talking way too much at the beginning no i don't think so okay good good all right uh my brushes i'm gonna be using a ten bright a six angle in the um summit series of princeton and then the red handled brushes are their velvet touch line i've got a 3 8 inch and a quarter inch angle and then a 8 18 odd short liner and a number one round those are just going to be for some of the veins and things in there some of the smaller details the angle brushes will do most of the work for us and then i've also got some texture brushes so just whatever you've got that's got kind of a stiffer texture that's a little scuffy um to do some of our textural things on like the mosses and the tree bark and things so this is the 3 8 inch and quarter inch blender and i've got a 3 16 inch deerfoot stippler i'm not sure i'm going to use all these brushes but i just grabbed what i thought i have not painted this yet ahead of time so we're just going to work it out as we go today that's how we do our shows and it's always kind of an adventure i never know exactly how long it's going to take or what exactly i'm going to do but we usually work it out eventually sounds fun it is fun uh and then i've got a number two uh a large flat brush just to do some blending in this larger areas background that's it well i also have a palette knife but i'm not sure i'm gonna use it but i might use it for a little bit of the texture on the bark so if you've got one of those grab it all right let's get going here um the drawing i'm not going to go over the drawing really much i will have the traceable for you available but this one's going to take a while so i'm just going to get in here and paint it today i'm not going to go over the drawing sorry but the you can take a screenshot of the reference photo at the beginning of the video and trace it directly from there if you wanted to or use it to grid and you know grid out i if you haven't done a lot of drawing i would say gridding is probably going to be your best bet to get started and there's a lot of really good drawing videos out there i've got some drawing videos um to help you uh with that so all right i'm gonna get a little bit of glaze and then i'm gonna grab my yellow um cadmium yellow light i'm gonna start with my lightest area up here this this yellow back drop is a little bit darker than we want it to be up here in this corner so i'm going to go ahead and add a little bit of white and that will help make the yellow more opaque adding white to your yellows is really important especially for your like first layer now after that you can just go straight in with yellow once you've got like a lighter tone underneath especially if you're trying to cover up a darker area you're going to need some white in there yellows just don't uh cover very well even if they're an opaque yellow like this cadmium yellow light is so i'm going to just fill in that corner and you can see how i just picked up the cadmium yellow light after i had that white down so it gets a little bit darker as it gets towards this bottom i'm just going to kind of blend across here try to get it looking up kind of soft and blendy and then i'm going to grab some of my more golden yellow this is the indian yellow hue and i'm getting it just on kind of this corner of the brush and that way it can kind of control it down here and then this lighter color is still at the top so that will kind of help them blend together see how that works okay i'm testing to see if you were paying attention to the beginning of the show see uh what's your background color yellow oxide what did i say something different i'm not going to tell you what did i say because then well obviously i wasn't paying attention so i was trying to make it sound like oh i thought you were saying that because i because i didn't uh the right color yeah that's exactly right that's right so get it right next time i got it right okay yellow oxide blue oxide yes and then i'm gonna get a little bit of this burnt orange here that's gonna be a more reddish tone and i'm gonna go right along that edge of the tree i'm going over it a little bit make sure that you do this quickly you want to do this before that color dries that you're trying to blend it into so it does help that i have the this color on this part of the brush so that i'm able to blend them out as i brush it on it's already kind of blended a little bit makes a little bit easier okay so that's good i think i'm going to pull that out a little bit and just kind of mess up that area up there there's some sort of different things happening so maybe just kind of dab in with the corner of where that darker color is in a couple places add some different stuff happening there and then i'm going to wipe my brush off get most of the paint off of it and then just very lightly this yellow is still dry so are still wet so it's it's going to blend for me if your yellow was dry or drying then you might not want to do this you might wait and just go back over it later but i'm trying to think of how you would do that if if that yellow dried already but i think that's good okay um you can always go back in so like say you had a line here and it was really obvious and this color was starting to dry and it wasn't going to blend for you if it starts to dry it gets really sticky and it'll stick to your brush and it can kind of clump up and things like that if you mess with it so just let it dry completely get a hair dryer dry it off really good and then once it's completely dry then you can go back in with another coat of this yellow and once you get down to that line where you want to blend those two you can wipe your brush off and do what i just did and just kind of blend that yellow down into this color but that's uh that's one thing you want to make sure that you're not messing with your colors while they're trying to dry they will lift and do all kinds of weird stuff so look sir that's one of the main rules with acrylics is just once they start to dry just leave them alone let them dry let your layers dry in between really well all right so let's go ahead and just kind of base in some of our main colors here our tree is really dark so i'm going to get the purple actually and use that in my darkest areas a little bit of purple a little bit of black and a little bit of brown those would be like our darkest tones and but i just want i like to have that little bit of purple it just makes it a richer black um gives the these dark dark areas just a little bit more character you could always just do straight black but that doxazine purple is like your darkest color actual natural color in your toolbox over here of colors so um using it for your instead of black or in conjunction with black is really something i like to do all right so just using this corner of my brush to get around these leaves a little bit so i don't want to have to paint them in but if you um if you wanted to you could just do this whole tree just do this background and do the whole tree and then draw in your leaves and your mug over the top that's totally fine if you want to do it that way this is a little bit more tricky painting around this um it'll take a little bit more time on initially but um for me it's just easier to start with it already drawn out on my canvas goes faster for me while i'm doing these live shows time is everything i can see these shows i already take way longer than i want to with them so anything that can give me a shortcut all right using some ultramarine blue now so as i get up towards the sunlight areas i'm going to add a little bit more blue and a little bit lighter colors this area down here is going to be the darkest part of our tree and you can see where like when i when i get to an area where i know i'm not going to be able to get to it before it dries i just want to blend that out a little bit so i kind of fuzz out that edge a little bit and then i'm going to go for over here and work my way around this this side before this end starts to dry and by fuzzing out that that edge there i'll give myself a little bit softer um softer border when we add our next colors in or when we try to add our colors back into that i won't have like this hard line if i left like a really hard line like this sometimes it can be like a little bit of a ridge there and it can show up underneath the paint or like when you do your top layers it you can like if it dries hard um it just it's a little harder to to cover if you have these little hard edges so would it be sharp because i don't want it to cut my eye is it moving around the canvas be quiet just asking asking for a friend uh-huh keeper yep that's the way i roll so how are you doing today it's doing good i'm enjoying i'm looking forward to painting this one yeah it could be a fun one just getting a little bit more blue and some burnt umber here and as i get closer to this mug it's getting a little bit lighter so yeah um i definitely in the mood for autumn now that we we're getting cooler weather here it's been nice we've had a really pretty lucky wild summer here in arkansas and uh happy spring to all those who are down south yes australians friends [Music] they're just coming out of their winter right yes they are mm-hmm so this maybe do you put out pumpkins in spring down there or i'm just wondering is it like did they put the pumpkins out in the spring when we when we do our flowers and i'm wondering how that works they have to follow the american timeline okay all right it was checking they bred their trees to have the leaves fall and spring and they're buried during the summer got it got it well i just wonder if the pumpkin thing is just an american thing or if it's something that they do all over the world it's very it's very prevalent in america and like fall equals pumpkins so we're painting several pumpkins this fall but i always wonder if it's something just unique to us or if it's something from and some places may have defiled the uh the sacred coffee with pumpkin flavors oh pumpkin spice latte which reminds me of the bark box the way that fish pickle got we we got we get that bark box thing don't i don't judge don't judge yeah i know it's he's super spoiled we just got a puppy and yeah i know i never thought i would ever ever in a million years do that but um he loves it so you know we love it um but his last one he got a puppy spice latte in it pretty cute looks like a coffee cup and squeaker toy yeah yeah but this looks like a nice plain black coffee the way that god intended it you would actually drink this one maybe yes okay get some brown a little bit of unbleached titanium there i'm gonna get a little bit of blue the blue and the brown together make a gray and so i'm adding it to this color just to do down over here this area is actually pretty lot of lightness so i'm gonna as i get closer more of the add more and more of the lighter color to get closer to this edge and this is actually lighter than this in our photograph so this edge here is actually lighter than this orange color that's next to it and this is actually pretty purple it's probably more purple than i want it to look so i want the purple to be a little bit more subtle than this but i'm just going to go ahead and go right up along that edge and just get some color down any color is fine at this point we're just wanting some color underneath to work with if it's close to what we i'm not trying to do the upper layers of the color i'm looking at the tones that are in between in the cracks in the shadows so that's what i'm doing here is just kind of picking a dark darker color than what i want to end up with and i'm going to grab some brown and just put it over the top of this while it's wet mix in okay and as i'm pulling i'm pulling in the direction that the bark um is kind of the lines in the bark so kind of going along this way you know this is turned so this the the bark lines are coming this way so that's how i'm doing all my brush strokes here and that way if i get any kind of streaks then we can that we decide to leave in there then they'll be going in the right direction and look kind of like we meant to do that just a little shortcut okay nice little bit here my paint's starting to get a little bit dry so i'm just going to add a little bit of water and i can add a little bit of glaze too the glaze will help kind of thin it out too to make it easier to work with you just want it to be kind of smooth buttery consistency and if it's getting kind of stickier or whatever then just add a little bit of water to your brush um i think uh that's one of the things that i get comments about a lot you know people say that they they're using more paint than i am and i think a lot of it just has to do with the fact that their paints their paints or brushes are probably drying out as they work and so they're not they're not picking up more water and when i pick up water i'm not dunking my brush i'm just dipping the tip of it into there and i'm always working with a wet brush so if i didn't mention that at the very beginning you always want to have a wet brush unless you're doing a technique like a dry brush technique where you wanting texture then you start with a dry brush but those brushes are usually these kind of stiffer bristle brushes that you don't mind the the paint drying up in them i hardly um if i use the dry a dry brush a regular brush to do dry brushing techniques and don't add water to it i always make sure that i do not get that paint down up in here because if you get um wet paint into this dry a dry brush it's going to dry a lot faster up in here and it can dry out before you're able to clean it out so always make sure that if you are doing a dry brush with one of your better brushes that you keep that paint away from your silver part and um such okay i don't know why i'm slowing down here just talking about brushes get painted i think this is going to be a quick one i said no i am i'm slowing myself down talking about stuff but needless to say you have 450 something 460 videos videos 451 here on youtube and then another i don't know how many on crowdcast right so you at every level of beginner to advanced and there's different tips and yes techniques and all the different videos yes so we try to cover as much as we can in each video but it's impossible to go over everything right yeah some sometimes i emphasize certain things i'm trying to remember to kind of go over in some of these more basic videos i'm trying to remember to go over some of the basics for beginners but [Music] if you're new to it i would just kind of if you need a painting i would just grab you know just get out your brush and practice get some paper you don't have to even use canvas at first get a get a good quality mixed media pad i've got links down in the description to the ones that i've used i found to work well with paint and okay so there this is a little bit more of a blue gray i'm going to get a little bit more of the blue and the i don't it's a little bit light a little bit more of the brown and black i think i really kind of mostly just want ultramarine blue not a lot of that white i'm just using what's left on my brush though got a lot of paint still on it so i'm just gonna use it and i do have a few brush if you are brand new to painting i do have a few like basic classes or basic videos that like on color mixing and about blending and things like that so i would definitely check those out if you're new to acrylics those will help you a lot i've got one that's called blending with different acrylics and it goes over the different kinds of acrylics that you can use so i'm using heavy body acrylics they're going to act a little bit different than like a craft acrylic or something like that you've got it zoomed in too much hon why is it always my fault i'm just assuming it you're zooming it in then you're going and doing other stuff and not paying attention i'm i'm saying hi to all your fans okay good i mean they're not really watching the video are they see what i'm doing oh okay i thought they were here to say hi to me okay sorry dude probably sorry that all right so this is going on a lot darker than we're going to end up with it but i'm going to go ahead and switch to a little bit smaller brush just get around this corner here and i'm going to get some of this yellow gold here and add it to this brush because this color in here is like a lot lighter add it to both sides so so we have a few strange people and watching today strange people yeah they would um and could you give tips on how to make it look like hot chocolate or tea oh you get to that point neat uh yeah i mean it's gonna be pretty uh pretty much pretty similar i think um because this whole area right here is just a reflection so this is actually not the color at all of the of the coffee um this area right here of your darker reflection would probably be the part that would actually show the actual color of the coffee somewhat and that's actually this a shadow area so it would be the darkest tone of you know whatever drink it is that you're using but but yeah all of this part um is and of course your tea is not gonna have the foam over here but you caught your your hot chocolate would have that foam so i think your hot chocolate would probably be pretty similar maybe a little bit more brownish tones and then the tea would be a little bit more golden tones in it but oh what did last night call it what did he call it i can't remember that's awesome he's like this is a joke right you guys aren't really you don't you guys know that this is gross right he's drinking tea with something like pigeon sweat or something like that i don't know yeah it's our favorite new show sorry we like all tea drinkers angela i love cheese is this a tea snob i'm very much a tea snob and i made my childhood he's not too not realizing that when you feed your two-year-old tea you know good tea but once he gets to be you know old enough to ask for it whatever he's and you give him lipton he's gonna be like uh this is not good yeah it's pretty funny yeah spencer spencer's the only one of my boys that really got the t t drinking gene that's because he was about two when i came home from france and that's when i started drinking tea i brought back a teapot and some tea from france and would make it in this little fancy teapot that had these little cups that were about that big and he wanted he was fascinated because he was so little and he drank it with me and so we was our friend mommy means sometime and now he's 18. my boys are grown up all right adding the gold to my leaves here i use the um indian yellow and then grab some of that gold um color this is going this is going to be a lot lighter than this but um again we're going for the darker ish tones um i'm not going i'm i in this case i'm going for the mass tone so this the main tone that i'm seeing in here is this kind of gold gold color so that's what i'm going to put on here and let it dry and then we'll add some darker shadows and some highlights to it this will give us a hit start on just trying to work on the outlines of this somewhat and i'll probably end up like you know going over some of this when we add the texture to our bark so not gonna worry too much about it at this point i'm just wanting to get a little bit more color on the canvas here and you can see where i'm trying to cover over that purple it doesn't cover so i'm just going to grab some of the lighter color some of the unbleached titanium here and it'll help make that paint a little bit more opaque just put it on a little bit thicker right there it'll cover it up for me go on a little bit kind of blotchy with this too because these leaves are not just like i need to do that with this one too and kind of take off some of that extra color because these leaves are kind of got all kinds of blotchiness and different colors distortion colors so if i kind of just dab it on i'll get kind of more of a muddled look to it and kind of lost that edge here go and this one over here is really light it's unbleached titanium here this one in with a little bit lighter tone that yellow oxide just gives me a really good base to start with so you can see that gold coming through in some of these areas here it's a really good undertone for these leaves i get a lot of questions about like why do you do that like can't you just like paint the color on directly and yes you can but if you look at fine art painters you know any kind of really classic art and they always start with kind of undertones um it really in it the more layers that you have the more depth that you have in your painting so it just takes it up a notch in the level of craftsmanship that crafts craftsmanship i can't say that word of your painting you know maybe that's not the right word but i mean the level of maturity and whatever i'm trying to say but it makes it look better i think you're trying to say how awesome your audio and video guy is yeah he is pretty awesome yeah kind of cute i have a little bit of crush on him so don't tell don't be jealous i surprised angela by uh taking a shower and putting on a real shirt before the show and clone and pillow like what is it my birthday [Laughter] we are still on lockdown you know nobody else is going to get to see this you already went to walmart this morning so yeah okay using the darker colors here just grab some of the burnt cnn orange here to go again just on that corner to control where it's going just kind of put in it right in here i don't know a little bit of it yeah i know it had took a shower yesterday and i think it had been i don't even know how many days it was bad this work this work from home is my my personal hygiene has gone out the window i i always work from home that's a funny thing about it it's like it's not like at something new but something about you being home it's like i don't have to dress up for you you're already here like you know i don't know why it's just weird ditto funny it's like i well when i don't see you all day and that's the only time i see you i'm like i should probably you know kind of like comb my hair you know before he gets home so it looks like i cared you know but like now he's like here all the time so i'm like yeah whatever [Laughter] deal with it getting some yellow hair just adding some others i really shouldn't be doing too much to these right now i'm kind of getting into it though sorry i need to move on and just get the colors down i'm kind of getting into the details too much yeah so i'm sure i'm sure we're not the only ones oh i'm sure we're not yeah and you know she gave me the mandate a couple weeks ago that i was no longer allowed to wear a white t-shirt that had stains on it yeah he was wearing like the same three shirts over and over again like you didn't have other clothes in his closet that were clean it's not like i could understand if you didn't have clean clothes or something are likely to run out of laundry detergent and but i'm like you have a whole closet full of really nice clothes and you're wearing like this holy i throw them out and i see holes and they disappear so yeah this whole work from home now is getting a little stuffy next i'm going to be putting on shoes [Laughter] no all right i took one of the leaves out you see in the picture there's a leaf here i just i just didn't want i kinda i don't know i just left it out so you can put it in if you want to but it's a little bit darker than this one here but uh i just thought this is a five leaf cluster here and i thought that that was kind of a better arrangement myself so just taking some artistic liberties here it's your painting you do what you you do you that's so new people like you know telling me how to paint my paintings i'm like you do dude if you think you can do it different do it different it's not gonna hurt my feelings but don't tell me how to paint my painting like doing it the way i want to there you go that's it so you just kind of have to people are going to tell you you know and and sometimes when you're learning that's a good thing you know but you got to be careful who you're listening to if you're listening to somebody that doesn't have ex more experience than you or isn't actually painting at all but just you know it's deciding that they're an expert on you know what you're doing wrong and you may you know you may want to get your advice from somebody else because they're probably not going to be very helpful for you chances are they might harm more than help your artistic journey you know i have a lot of people that say they had teachers which i don't know why an art teacher would say this to a person but you know just saying that art wasn't their thing you know and just kind of discouraging them from practicing art which breaks my heart because i'm like for everybody even if you're not great at it you should still do it you know just because it's good for you feeds your soul it's lowers your blood blood pressure it helps you take your mind off things keeps it's good for your mental health and lockdown especially right now we need we need stuff to take our minds off the state of the world this is definitely a good a good thing to help do that if you're concentrating on this you're not worried about your problems i was i was uh say i think god knew that we were gonna need art so he he's a god of creation right he he gets it and gave us art to help express those things that we can't express other ways art music all that stuff writing journaling all right there we go so that one's a little bit more of the orangey tones i really like these colors it's really pretty this is my grandma these colors remind me my grandma this was her favorite color combo grandma betsy orange and brown her whole house was decorated orange and brown oh like your pinto huh like your pink like my pinto i know i was thinking about that the other day i was like that's probably her favorite uh car of mine [Laughter] she probably thought it was pretty awesome okay so this is dry now i'm gonna go ahead and do a little bit more to it it's actually really good right now the way it is so if you wanted to you could just leave it um i think i want to add a little bit of of some of the blotches of white and things that i'm seeing back here so this yellow is actually surprisingly still viable so i'm going to get a little bit of that yellow here i can't believe it didn't a little bit of yellow a little bit of white and some glazing medium i'm going back to this large brush make sure it's clean because you don't want that purple to come off and it's not clean i can see i'm gonna have to clean it up a little bit better so for for those that are new here in 2020 we're just coming out of our summer break right and so we're slowly adding saturdays back to our routine yes and over on angela's channel after the show if you click over on our channel you can see the schedule for the upcoming videos for october yes for october yep yeah we just posted those so and then we'll be uh 2 p.m central time on saturdays and 6 p.m central time on tuesdays yes that'll be our standard show schedule yeah and i don't think we have any changes to it in october i think we're only doing uh we're missing one saturday but we're doing shows all the rest of the rest of the days my all tuesday all the tuesdays and we're missing one saturday because we're doing a yard sale god help us i'm still hoping that angela changes her mind but this needs it's so bad our garage is terrible we did our house renovation last year and and then coveted hit so we weren't able to it ended too late in the year it ended like in well it was really just before christmas it was november yeah it was just before christmas we ended the house renovation so it was too late to do a yard sale then and then we were going to do it in the spring and then covet hit so we weren't able to do it so we've just have a house garage full of your renovation items and things that needs to go needs to go so i'm gonna try it i've been having good weather and it's probably gonna be like the hottest weekend of the month without knowing us or luck just be inventing but hopefully not hopefully no bad weather hopefully no rain and hopefully we'll sell a bunch of stuff i'm gonna make everybody wear masks sorry too bad alright here we go so i just kind of messed it up you can see i just kind of added a little bit little blitz lips and blobs here got some of the yellow oxide really all of the yellows that i'd already used back here and just kind of so if you prefer that kind of blended look that we had before you can leave it that way it's up to you um this just kind of gives it a little bit more happening back here i'm going to get some of the brighter yellow add to it this is just straight up yellow cadmium yellow light and these colors are going to dry darker so they'll go on looking kind of lighter and then they'll as they dry the colors will deepen a little bit so keep that in mind when you're putting them on in this this is with with heavy body acrylics now with uh craft acrylics they won't the color won't shift as much because they're mostly binder so if anything they might dry lighter but with the uh heavy body acrylics there's less binder more pigment and so as the binder dries it's so it's white ish when it dries clear that darker pigment starts to show through a little bit more okay just going through here and kind of playing with this that's good enough all right let's work on this so this area right in here i'm going to go ahead and use this um gold color that we have and just add some of the color from the bark to it so make a gray and i'm just going to use it to see that's just about the right color lightly now i'm i'm kind of dry brushing with this even though i've got a wet brush i'm just gonna drag it along this little area here and create some texture along that edge barely touching down very little paint in my brush trying to let that canvas texture sort of grab the paint just dabbing it and as i get up here i'm doing zig-zaggy kind of lines let's go ahead and do some up here this brush is actually doing pretty good job so i'm just going to stick with it just use whatever brush works for you so if you if you have a way of doing this that you've found that works for you just go ahead and do that you know all about figuring out your own style with acrylics painting in general okay so i'm talking to you alexa yeah i'm going to okay the lighter color right here just get a little bit more white in here [Music] all right i was going to do this with my other brush but this one seems to be working well and this is covering a pretty large area at one time so i'm going to go ahead and keep on working it i'm going to get a little bit of the [Music] quinacridone burn orange hair i'll kind of add a little bit of a pinkish tone i need to wipe most of that out of my brush i am feathering this the very lightest touch possible so and i'm holding it kind of far back here so that i'm getting i'm not holding it too tight you know if i'm holding it like this i can't really get that light touch but if i'm holding it farther back and just kind of letting it brush through it's gonna have a little bit lighter touch on the canvas too lighter hold on the brush translates to the lighter touch on the canvas okay this is actually looking pretty good let's go ahead and use this purple and yellow remember using this color so this gold yellow you can grab some more of that gold that's right here right and then mix it with the color that's on the bark here and that's going to be a great our light color somebody has asked what could they use as a color other than the quinacridone or orange um burnt sienna and a little bit of quinacridone magenta make a similar color um and and uh a little bit maybe of a red reddish so either like a cat red cad red light or or a cadmium orange or something like that yeah my notes we had cad red light plus burnt sienna and then a little bit of quinacridone magenta right i take notes and the indian yellow is very similar to this quinacridone gold color maybe with a little bit more of a orangish or brownish tone so maybe a little bit of burnt sienna plus the um indian yellow if you have it indian yellow is kind of a golden if you don't have that and you know um like a little bit of of an orange with your yellow and this is kind of turning out to be kind of yellow there which i don't want it as yellow as that so i'm going to get a little bit more of this purple tone so uh when is the next splatter video going to be scheduled because i'm starting to feel like dave is getting a little antsy [Laughter] dave going through withdrawals i think so yeah i don't know um we're doing a poppy video in a couple weeks so that might probably puppy field we might do some splatters for that okay i'm putting a little bit of tones down there but i i think that's a little too dark so i'm just going to take a wet paper towel and kind of dab off some of that so it's a little bit lighter okay not bad let's go ahead and grab the these brushes now let's let's get the 3 8 inch willows blender here [Music] let me get some more of this color maybe a little bit lighter tone because these colors are pretty light here like i said the color that's right up against here is actually lighter than the background so i'm gonna lighten up that edge a little bit more just get a little bit lighter color and we're just gonna add layer upon layer and that's what's gonna give us that depth in our tree bark so this again doing it the same way just kind of a little bit brush a little bit of paint on my brush and just letting it skim and this area up here is a little bit bit darker i'm going to go ahead and get that kind of medium medium blue gray that had a little bit of that ultramarine blue in it and then let's get some ultramarine blue there's kind of a dark seam right in there comes down to the mug get some dark brown there we go add some that i'm just kind of blending buffing out those edges a little bit so it blurs them out a little bit there's going to be a bunch of moss right here too so just kind of going with the get a little bit of the green now start adding some of those kind of greenish tones dab tap tap tap i'm laying it almost flat just tapping getting the ultramarine blue with the cadmium yellow light and some of that green the cadmium or the yellow um way more yellow than this used to be kind of an olive color there we go i probably could have done without the green altogether and just done ultra blue and yellow oxide or cadmium yellow light for the moss in fact there's kind of a goldish hint too so let's go ahead and add some of the indian yellow hue okay that's closer right there to what we want and then i'm going to grab some burnt umber here and mix that in over here i have kind of a dark version of this green just tap it in here okay get some of the burnt sienna and do some of that right in here okay and then to add the highlight areas we're just going to add white to this this area back here has kind of been um blurred out so i'm just going to kind of blur the edges of these a little bit so they're not super distinct as i'm putting them on i'm kind of just rubbing side to side but then as i get to where i want them to be more crisp i'm going to just dab and let those kind of more crisp edges be visible get some burnt sienna and some of this green and yellow over here do kind of a burnt brown and maybe get some of that purple color too do some of that yeah there we go this month has all kinds of colors in it not just green if you start looking at it it's got all these different colors in it browns and golds and greens yellows cleaning this up a little bit just rubbing so that those edges are smudged burnt sienna or sorry unbleached titanium with this burnt sienna color here i'm gonna just use it on that edge uh it's in that brighter orangey or brighter green gold color maybe a little bit extra yellow in it your colors are going to be different than mine so don't worry about that part of it the color is not as important as getting your values right so you know you can fudge on the colors a little bit if it's not quite exact i wouldn't stress over that part of it but i would just make sure that you're looking at your values and making sure you're getting darks and lights where they're supposed to go that will be the main thing more that base green now so we've got the darker areas we've got the lighter areas a little bit i'm going to go back in with my face moss color now and just kinda fill in that a little bit more gold over here with that golden lights hitting it dude i'm gonna go get some coffee why are you needing coffee now that you're saying well i mean no no i don't i've had plenty for the day probably too much in a lot of people's eyes i don't know well i told you you don't know me i told people in chat and when i write it it i realize how excessive it is how many things a copy have you had well i started off this morning a little bit before six with an espresso right and then probably four or five cups of coffee oh wow and then another espresso which is before the show you have a problem i think we need to do an intervention this is the intervention show yeah so i might need to go decaf if i could be drinking that much [Laughter] yeah a little bit so here again i like noticing that this area up here is way too light so just kind of getting some of that darker brown adding that back in yeah not saying your your voice puts me to sleep or anything you have been known to fall asleep off talking i'll have to say that has happened truth because you're so relaxing and so comforting so usually it was when we were arguing so that that's always when it's not not a good time to fall asleep i'm trying to make a point and then you hear and another thing oh okay well i guess we're not talking about this right now we can pick this up at five at five o'clock in the morning exactly yeah when you're awake and i'm asleep exactly what i'm thinking yeah we never fight i don't know what we're talking about true whatever happens true that's right okay blue and white here i still have all these other colors on my brush so they're in bulb too just gonna highlight this patch right there okay pretty pretty all right let's see a little bit of this down here seriously it's actually pretty close to that color and value so it's lighter just really pretty so what i want to avoid is what i did right there where i kind of had an obvious pattern so like you do like that and you've got this really obvious repeat pattern and so when i do that i just want to smooth it out or mush over it so that that is disguised you know you don't want that repeat patterns in nature um are kind of more random often and so you you definitely don't want to have uh that in your work when you're you know doing things in nature's leaves flowers whatever um trees you know if you have these kind of repetitive elements it it takes away from the realism because it's not really how nature works it's pretty out there unless it's like a real structured garden or something where it's everything is you know really precisely placed but even then there's randomness in individual trees and things branches adding some this blue highlight right there i love this this is a really fun painting bark because it's kind of you can kind of just go with the flow it's you know obviously not exact i mean what um use in the photograph i'm just kind of picking spots this is burnt sienna or i'm sorry unbleached titanium here and with stuff like loss it grows in such random shapes and sizes you know you yeah you can try to almost exactly duplicate the the picture but you know make it your own yeah yeah yeah as long as you get that kind of basic shape and you know structure right and you can do whatever you want with it realizing this needs to be a lot lighter up here and the another thing that you usually tell people that you'll use the brush that they're comfortable with using right so here you're using a blender uh there's other brushes that someone could be using right now a palette knife it's a stiff bristle brush even just a flat brush of some sort right yeah palette knife would work oh there's green i didn't really mean to put green right there let me wipe that brush up and get some that blue meaning to get this is that purple blue brown black whatever that dark color just mixed up some more over there the original color that we used in our background and grabbing some purple or some blue in the ultramarine blue yeah a little bit of white there we go i'm just using that in this darkest areas to add a little bit of hint of you know movement in it i don't want it to be too too bright because this is in our shadow area but there is going to be some light penetrating there just a little bit it's all about layers layers layers layers so just lay on your dark colors put in your highlights add mid tones more highlights put back in your shadows if you need them and then we can glaze our shadows in so if we get done with this and we're like you know i wish this area was a little bit more brown we can just take some transparent color and maybe get my reddish brown here and then just go over this area with that color if it's transparent and you'll be able to see the colors underneath but it'll just change the tone just a little bit so it's a really good way of like just adding little bits of detail to areas like this area here supposed to be dark right there there's like a dark scene that i met i lost so that scene there there's a little bit of darkness underneath the moss in some places so i'm gonna make sure that i go back in and like make sure that these have like a little bit of a shadow underneath some of these moss areas here where they're overlapping the rock or that not the rock the bark this is actually very similar to how you would do rock though paper scissors spock yes some of that published titanium here i'm just gonna go on this ahead [Music] happy with this color but again i can change the color pretty easily so i'm gonna worry about it as long as the texture is going on right and when i'm going around an object i'm wanting to make sure that i'm kind of covering going over it just a little bit you can see my edges are a little bit messed up because i don't want to end up with the see how i've got kind of a dark halo around it right here and i don't want that so go back up and go right up to that edge so that i've got color overlapping right there tip it's pretty it's working let's keep on adding colors i would say you're going to want at least three layers to four or more layers on these um this bark so just kind of keep that in mind get a little bit of the quinacridone burn orange i've got the unbleached titanium on my brush i've got green i got all the colors in here so it's just again not really the color so much as just getting the texture down a little bit more of the burnt orange and bleach titanium foreign and then oh i got no green left alright let's use this burnt orange with some green you want to run down to the store real quick no it's okay you can mix it so this is burnt orange with the green and yellow you can see how you can get achieved pretty much the same color with different you know in different ways the last time i used ultramarine blue and and uh indian yellow so this is a very similar tone very similar colors kind of just a little bit of a different vibrancy because they're starting out with different colors but it works i'm going to use a little bit of the burnt umber for the darker areas over here making it dark okay [Music] wipe that out and then i'm gonna grab my indian yellow some cadmium yellow mix that into this color to dull it just a little bit a little bit of white and i think i'm gonna switch to a little bit smaller brush here this is the quarter inch i'm gonna use that dab in some highlights this these ones down here are so close to us we're actually seeing that like individual little leaves so fuzz is so gonna be a little bit more deliberate and kind of like pull a little bit so i'm getting like little fuzzy trails through this mouse setting it down and kind of pulling slightly yellow white really bright yeah just kind of wiggle my brush and just let little bits of the and i'm twisting it kind of as i go so that i'm getting different parts of that brush touching down and that will help the randomness we were talking about before get too much i can always go back in and add more of the dark colors so don't be afraid of kind of playing with it okay i wonder if i get a little bit too much i'm just going to go back here grab some of the starter color and just kind of blend it out a little bit i'm not going to burn orange hair or no necron gold a little bit more of the brown all right i think let that set i might choose to do some more to it later but i think for now the mosses look pretty good i'm gonna go ahead and get some of this color and add a little bit of blue and my unbleached titanium white i'm gonna just dab it in my bark okay just kind of fuzzing out all of this by kind of going over it with a little bit of sort of a light wash of this lighter color just lighter green gold to kind of fuzz out that edge all right that's good did we share our hot chocolate recipe before uh-huh we did in the in the facebook group okay that's what i thought it's a pretty awesome hot chocolate recipe and we have the best hot chocolate recipe ever it's really good it will ruin you for regular hot chocolate i'll just warn you though and it's a mixed hot chocolate it's not like we're melting real chocolate that's probably better you know but i mean we weren't getting fishes huh we're not that ambitious no but this is a really good powdered hot chocolate mix and it's some of that darker color and i'm just going to add some of this hints of moss to some of these shadows areas okay i like how this looks it's pretty all right let me get my angle brush here and actually yeah let's do the mug first because this is over the top of it let's do our leaves last because it's they're the last thing so make sure you got your your groundwork done for your background there i might um do one thing here before we start this is dry so i'm going to take some ultramarine blue here and glaze over some of these shadow areas with the ultramarine blue with thinned out just thinned out with glazing medium and also you can add a little bit of the burnt umber if you want to to make a little bit more of a neutral so not so in your face blue but let's go over the top of what's dry here and it's gonna let you do things like shadow you know shadow this moss down so that it's a little bit darker tone right up underneath that leaf right there um right over here there's some darker just use my finger to help tap it out if it gets too thick in some areas you know really noticeable this should be very subtle and it should really kind of unify and tie in all these areas for you so it'll darken up your dark areas and and it'll just kind of blur the borders colors a little bit and as i get closer to this edge and add more of the brown i can darken up some areas so say i lost that shadow in there i want to darken it up i can just use a little bit more color some mostly burnt umber here okay use the same brush and fill in the mug the mug is white it's going to pick up the colors around it it's got a lot of gold in it so i'm going to go ahead and use kind of some of this gold color here i'm gonna clean off my palette before i start on that it's gonna need its own i think so we've been an hour and a half so okay so while you're scraping over there show them that oh show them that little mask there yeah speaking of i just threw it at you wearing mascara wow here you are truly a mom it's like behind her she still sees it i knew it was true except for my ninja puppy that has silent paws i swear that dog got a new dog and well we already talked about him multiple times but everybody knows that by now hopefully but uh he he's got half king charlotte half cavalier king charles and uh these are the masks here one of them yeah where can they get actually that's pretty cute on they're really nice they're stretchy and those are the ones that are sold on teespring i have over 100 masks with all the different paintings that we've done over the last couple years in there so it's pretty pretty fun i couldn't decide so i just did them all just kept on adding more and more um but you know the puppy he's got like big old mitts and he's got fur all up underneath his paws and so he's like in insanely silent like can not hear him he is like a cat just like a cat you cannot hear him walking behind you angela will be walking around and she'll be like where is fitz it's like he's right behind you yeah you literally cannot feel him or hear him or anything mm-hmm you might as well be walking on carpet all right so i think that's about the tone it's not pure white it's not it's not actually super bright um that may be even too dark or too bright we'll see yeah i think that's actually a little bit too bright said no one ever about mark [Laughter] [Music] [Music] you need a little drum kit over there [Music] top hat is what you put on your head like with a tuxedo [Laughter] i would not be here but i could use one of those too you think sir top foam pad or what have how did you say his name huh sir topham hatt how do you say his name yeah yeah that's from thomas tengen yeah yeah i think that's it i think that's his name okay yeah you like this color it's gonna be nice it's a little bit of burnt orange in here too burnt orange burnt um quinacridone nicolazo gold and quinacridone burnt orange and white and umbilical titanium just kind of all the colors these quinacridones are so nice the reason i really like them is because they're transparent and so they make really beautiful glazes and they mix so well they just they make the most beautiful mixes and you can't you can't get the same transparency when you mix them with other color you know mix try to recreate them you know with other colors just doesn't quite come out the same they're not as vibrant so i'm gonna get some ultramarine blue and burnt umber this is that brown tone and i'm going to create that shadow that's right here it comes down i'm putting it through that wet paint so it's it's picking up and mixing with that ultramarine blue burnt umber equal parts just about wiping that brush off when you use a lighter color and blend it up yeah i'm just using this all wet and that way i can hopefully get it in the first time around i won't have to do a whole lot of finagling with it later a little bit of a highlight there a little bit of a highlight here all right we'll just let that dry there let's keep on going here with the handle so using that kind of brownish gold that original color that we can with this area is a little bit more shadowed right there and then inside there is kind of a brown at least bright dark a little enamel mug and get it nice and dark and then i'm just wiping my brush off and just pulling through this dark fresh paint here pushing it around with the tip of the brush there we go and then i'm going to grab some a lighter color do that up here on this half of the handle this is probably going to be the harder part of the whole thing so just kind of know that going in take your time with it you could always do this handle a solid like a darker color and then do this a solid lighter color and just let that be it you know you don't have to go into all the detail that i'm doing here so just kind of know that you it's your painting you know you know your own skill level so you know don't feel like you have to take on something that's more gonna cause you headaches you know it's good to challenge yourself try things that are a little outside your skill set but at the same time when you're very first learning i feel like it's better to choose projects that are easier just so you get comfortable and confident with what you're doing and then you can always challenge yourself later as you progress right and you can always practice on you know paper and notebooks and stuff like that right until you get confident with certain techniques and things adding a little bit more highlight there or the walls or whatever you know what you're comfortable practicing on whatever yeah whatever is available to you don't tell your mom i said that angry letters from parents yeah that was just hypothetical all right getting white pure white this time trying to get something that's not dried up there we go and i still had a little bit of color in my brush so it's kind of changing it just slightly this area up here is really bright notice how angela put a spell on the canvas and made it spin around i put a spell in it yeah or just be silly i mean that's something that people even though it's obvious sometimes don't think about you know yeah go ahead and turn it if it's easier to get a better angle if you're left-handed or right-handed or something you know it doesn't have to sit in one spot right yep i'm gonna get some of them i'm gonna get some gold here a little bit of brown a little bit of that indian yellow brown and go right along that edge right here and just tap in the shadow along this bottom of the handle here there's that little rolled edge that's facing away from the light so i'm just going to tap where it touches that wet white paint to blend it a little bit and pull it around there continue it one down right here and then the white is just a little bit white right here and right along that outside edge right here i really need a smaller brush so this brush is too big so i'm touching into other areas that i don't want to be and that smaller brush would be called what number one okay i thought it was phil but number one round okay okay aka phil okay so this has been sitting here a while it's starting to get a little bit dry i'm going to dab it into my water and make sure that all of these that have been sitting here a while don't dry out on me before i get to clean them out really well don't ever leave your brushes setting in your water i used to do that and i ended up with my entire lip thing of brushes with cracks in the handles that's just that's what happens because the water gets up into it soaks through and it gets into this wood handle here and the wood expands as the water seeps into it and then it cracks the paint then you end up with paint handles that are all cracked and they can loosen too can loosen the glue and you can end up with brush handles that are loose and wobbly and that's not good so don't do it but also don't let them dry out so just kind of make sure that you're checking on them every now and then dipping them back in the water to make sure there okay so i want a shadow right here where that overlaps and then make sure that that bottom edge there is dark okay not bad we'll let that dry this is dry so i'm gonna get a little bit more white again and maybe just a touch of yellow because it's picking up that light and white will pick up the light of the objects around it so um it's like a mirror almost so if you've got this yellow light shining on this white mug right here this part might have a little bit of a yellow tone to it these areas here they're around this these leaves they're picking up that gold from the leaves okay here we go so for those who can't draw like me yes i have traceables of these available so whatever we're working on here all of the paintings that we do we i make traceables and we post those on my patreon page it's a dollar no two dollars that went up this pair two dollars a month for all of the traceables so as many downloads as you want per month so back to february 2017. hundreds yeah literally hundreds of people traceables are two dollars and at the five dollar level they get access to the reference photo and the yes and the reference photos the finished paintings um yeah and a bonus video in the bonus video once a month which was actually all of the older videos yeah i'll show you the one we did this month we did this for our bonus video this month it's cal he turned out really cute so the bonus videos are like more advanced they're kind of a step up from our normal videos they're usually about five hours to six hours long we do them on one once a month one setting and then our challenge videos are for the 10 level and those are um all month long so we work on this uh week after week uh until they're finished and those ones take about six to eight hours usually so they're a little bit longer and even more in depth than the bonus video so there's a bunch of them you can see on my instagram page you can go back through and see kind of what we've done um [Music] uh we i have pretty much all the paintings that we've been doing listed on my instagram page um including the patreon one so that's a good place to go and just kind of see everything and if you see one that you're like oh where's that i haven't seen that on youtube well that's probably a patreon one so it'll say in the description of it of the image where you know where you can find it so now patreon like we said you get access to all of the past bonus videos so if you sign up for the five dollar you get all the past ones also right and patreon is a monthly calendar month subscription so right now while we're doing this video it's the 26th of september so you would if you joined today you get charged today for september and then you get charged for october on october 1st right it charges for the full month so right so just give me a heads up on that yeah you might want to wait until and if you're doing this in the future first consult your calendar if i still have them in the future do we have calendars in this video somebody left me a comment the other day and because i had said something about like it if you're watching in 2020 then you know in march 2020 then you're you know the contest is over or something i think we were running a contest and then she was like oh it is march 2020. that was pretty funny yeah okay so i'm really loving it so far i think we're making pretty good progress we've got pretty good highlights here i like the values that we've got going on in the mug here i think we got spot on pretty much with the color so i'm pretty happy with that the color and the tone um we need to add a little bit of a shadow right here with this these leaves are um so this is dry now so what we'll do is we're just gonna um use our and it's gold so i'm gonna get this quinacridone gold and it's the color of our leaf right so if you ever you know wonder what your shadow color should be um it's uh depending on what it is but um you take the like with white it's pretty much always going to be the color that is um right up next to it you know so i have loaded it just on the tip of the brush and that way i can kind of control where it's going i'm just going to push it into these corner areas here and add that gold to that edge of the leaf there and that's probably too goldish i don't like that color too much so i'm going to add some brown to it maybe even a little bit of blue blue is a great shadow color always pull blues in so here's that same gold but now i've added a little bit of blue to it that's gonna be better yeah blue and brown yeah on your natural looking on your beach scene that you did with the crashing waves uh-huh you use dirty shadow blue dirty shadow blue is that the name of it well that's what you called it i did so yeah again but again that's an interesting color though i would have never thought about blue for a shadow yeah yeah blue blue is a cool color it works really well for any kind of shadows it's just i'm gonna just take some water now and just kind of push that around a little bit pull off some of the color off where i don't want it because it's not really up above this leaf right here it's just down in this area right there now there is a little bit i actually think there's a chip in the mug right there that i'm seeing just blending that out a little bit okay so this this and the handle probably some of the harder parts of the painting that getting the shadows right can tend to be a little bit tricky so just kind of know that going in and take your time with it practice it i'm going to go back in with that background color just dab over blend that in a little bit okay i think that's good we'll just let that set if it doesn't dry the way we want it we can always go back in and add more layers to it later this is my background color oops and then there is a chip in this mug right here so if we want to do that i'm going to get the burnt umber burnt sienna and burnt orange here i'm gonna do like a ship right here out of that mug it's actually kind of so dark that it doesn't look like um a different color so i'm making it a little bit more rusty colored just so that it makes more sense um it doesn't disappear against that dark color down there i'm getting a little bit of black i'm just going to put it up right there dab off that edge and just kind of chip that enamel away a little bit right there and then we can do a little bit right in here there's some on that edge there's a little chip right here open that part of the mug okay let's go ahead and use the ultramarine blue and black i'm going to use this i may switch to a smaller like a round brush maybe easier to use probably should have kind of a medium round here this one's a little bit small but we'll make it work i always use the largest brush that you can fit comfortably into the space so like for this one i could probably have used a little bit wider brush that would have fit this whole rim width to do this but we're fine i'm just going to do the darker color first along that bottom edge and then i'm going to put another color up at the top with a highlight so if you're drawing this one thing that you want to watch is that the this curve in this curve should be the same right so watch that this curve and this curve this curve this curve will all be the same curve arc right so that's where i think people get off when they draw um circular objects like this sometimes your tendency will be to flatten out the bottom of the cup a little bit or something and then you end up with um an object that doesn't look exactly right or doesn't sit right or something will look a little bit off and you try to figure out what it is and be hard to figure out that's one thing that i would check first and this opening here is oh well it's not a circle if it was it was facing straight onto us it would be a circle right but as it tilts away from us that circle becomes an oval and it becomes more and more of an oval as you know as you get farther away so we're like right in here somewhere where it's a it's still pretty round but it's not a circle add a little bit of brown as we get over on this side here uh this room actually gets a little bit narrower up here because we're not seeing the front of it i think that's pretty good let me have to correct the inside of that a little bit all right our inside uh is more blue so the inside of the mug is more of a blue color so i'm going to use the ultramarine blue and a little bit of burnt umber or kind of a gray blue that's a little bit too dark maybe i don't know it might be right about right let me add a little bit more brown so it's not so in your face blue brown will neutralize it make it more gray somebody asks if ultramarine blue is transparent yeah it is it's it's pretty transparent i think it's considered translucent let me look at that but yeah it's it's more here's opaque transparent so it's it's well on the transparent side i i find that the colors that mix better are transparent um it's just kind of i don't know if that's true or not but just feels like that's feels like it's true i'm sure there's probably some scientific reason but all right that looks good looks good um so on the inside of that i'm gonna get some of this brown and just kind of muddy up this color a little bit darker and just kind of add some kind of scuffs to the inside of this mug up toward the top is more white i have to let this dry because this is just just mixing i'm gonna have to let that dry it's not i'm not one dad don't accept any more paint uh let's see i feel like i got a little bit off right here i'm gonna fix this handle just slightly right here bring that in a little bit right there and let's go ahead and get some of the quinacridone burnt orange a little bit of gold add it to the blue i'm gonna maybe some white so weird all these colors are like looking the same when i get them down here next to each other it's the foam area for coffee at the top there i'm gonna get some ultramarine blue a little bit of purple a little bit of black and this color somebody has asked the difference between transparent and translucent so transparent means that almost all of the light goes directly through them right so glass is transparent right translucent translucent allows some of the light to go through them so like a frosted glass and plastic and things like that can be translucent so it's just the amount of light allowed to go through or reflect off of well thank you honey do i get a gold star no yes thank you for having explaining that for me thank you and thank you for using mathematical terms over there you know what it does for me arcs and things like that [Laughter] okay so that and then i'm going to use this color this ultramarine blue black color here and get some white mix up a little light gray press that brush flat i think i'm going to get actually a smaller brush let's get the no i don't want this one i want the i want this brush my number one round here and a little bit more of that ultramarine blue i put it right along that rim there and i'm going to dry brush this so i don't have i mean my brush is wet but i'm very lightly dragging it so that it's catching the texture of the coffee lip there so this is kind of a medium medium blue right down the middle there on this side it's more it's closer to the top think about where our lights coming from so here our light is back here so it's going to be closer to this side and then on this side it's going to be closer to this side because that side is closer to the light okay then get my lighter color here a little bit of glaze this is where you could even use your zinc white because things like transparent it'll be a little bit softer look there's a lot of blue in it not shadowing a black rim so this is not going to be like white white it's going to be pretty dark still but to highlight on it we have a question yes do you know if liquid clear is the same as glazing liquid i have no idea what that is never heard of i have not heard of it either it it i would just have to you'd have to read up on it have to google it yeah the glazing the the thing that i like about the golden glazing medium that i use is that it has an extender in it most glazing mediums or mediums in general won't won't have that so i'm getting some of that darker color and just adding that back in here the extender just helps it give you a little bit extra time when you're laying it down to doesn't dry immediately on contact like some glazes do you can work it just a little bit before it dries okay adding some ultramarine blue and black hair i'm gonna go back here now and add a thinned layer of that wherever you need it okay okay so chad has helped out thanks liquid clear is used for oils ah which we don't use i've never used oils no i am not the person asked i mean we do use i mean we used olive oil last night and we use oil in our cars but that's about it right but not in our painting no i've never used oils just never i've never even tried them i mean i may really liked him who knows all right back here darkening up that bottom edge there let that dry go ahead and put a chip in the mug here let's get a little bit of this burnt orange burnt umber chip in the bug right here and i'm going to use this blue black mixture there get some gosh this is drying up on me the air is blown it's pickle i hear you fitz is like right under outside the studio barking at us now if they can hear it or not you can get a little bit of green and add that to my ultramarine blue make a kind of a turquoisey blue color add some white okay and some of that darker color let's get some purple black coffee color and streaks of that through this okay and i'm gonna get a little bigger brush get the angled brush here and burnt umber or burnt bernstein i mean some of the quinacridone gold i'll lay that in how are you doing hon you know this is going long for two hours it's going good i'm still haven't gotten the leaves yet that's okay they'll have their turn they can wait patiently there okay and then get this blue that we mixed some ultramarine blue getting something quite not wanting to add too much water to it sprayed it just got all soupy cut a blue question how do you know when to use ultramarine blue versus phthalo blue ultramarine blue's got more purple in it so if i want more of a shadowy tone or more of a reddish blue i'll use it and then if if i want more of a teal blue the phthalo blue has more of those colors it's closer to green so it's more turquoise it's better for turquoises and stuff like that i almost had it here but it was i mean it really didn't matter too much i didn't think it would really make that much of a difference here there's not that much area here that would require phthalo blue but you could have used it there and in this area instead of the ultramarine blue this is not blending for me so that's just because my paint was too thin when i put it down so i just got to let this dry a little bit it's it's close but not exactly where i want it to be but i'm just going to let it dry so let's go ahead and work on our foam over here while that's drying let me get a little bit of blue a bit of this blue that we've been using with my white my unbleached titanium i'm gonna go along the mug there just tap kind of bits of color we've already got that kind of orangey color back there we could even use the zinc white for this if we want it to be a little softer i'm just gonna tap tap tap and then where i want a circle i'm just gonna kind of paint around leave that dark area and tap around it it'll be a softer look than painting the dark in some brighter blue over here over there this is drying a little bit i can add a little bit more of the brighter blue in here oops still not dry you see i was lived in there this is the background it's not dry just gonna put a little color on there and let it set uh and get some of that quinacridone burn orange um white make that kind of orangey color that we had going on in that really could be a little bit brown well whatever color you want your foam to be for your coffee so maybe a little bit more brown yeah that works i'm covered over all my dark areas i'm just gonna have to put them back in it's okay with this a little bit darker and there's some yellow so picking up some of the sky color in the reflections yellow white here all right let me get it that i'm amazed you're amazed at what uh your painting oh thank you good you seem to be surprised by that you hardly ever like comment on them you do i guess sometimes okay well usually dots comment on the painter not the painting that's right yeah exactly but the the painter is amazing too good thanks fishing for compliments that's what that's called blue and white pink here so just kind of using this scumbling it up in here and then the more dark color over here get some glaze medium and just use that to push the color around a little bit now that we've got the right color underneath it's going to show up better worse so somebody wants to know how do you get the cup and the coffee to look so shiny other than sorcery uh the cup and the coffee so in here it's it's all about your light areas so these little pops of the light areas against the really dark those light areas what will make it look shiny so i'm gonna use this and get some more of that orange get some of this yellow sky color two now i'm just kind of working those edges and kind of blending over onto that blue blending that out okay i don't think i'm gonna mess with that anymore because i'm pretty happy with that so i do want to maybe do one more layer onto the coffee itself because it's kind of looking a little flat it's not it's not solid so get some blue and burnt umber here a little bit of purple maybe this is where i can but yeah the shine the shine is all about the your contrast if you've got enough contrast you're gonna be able to create that shininess having this really dark against this is automatically going to bring it forward and make it look shiny i think i think in general i've seen i don't know if this is true or not amongst other but i mean i've i find that like getting the contrast right can be really difficult for um for beginners who are learning to paint because well it was the hardest one of the hardest things for me so maybe that's why i'm generalizing but i do see it a lot also in you know beginner artists when they when they you know share their work with me that a lot of it can be a little bit flat and the flatness comes from not giving enough contrast so that's one thing that when you when i uh when i work um especially when i would do like fine art paintings or something for a gallery a lot of times i would at the very end of the painting go back in and glaze one more time with dark and and go back in and highlight everything one more time with some highlights and that usually will like just bump up all the contrast across the board enough to just really like bring it to the next level was always was happy with with it after i would do that so again some of the dark hair adding that edge of the mug there and there's some almost white over here that i haven't done yet oh blended okay all right and then i did want to um darken up the edges here just a little bit there's a there's a little bit of highlight the white is shining into the mug over here so we're seeing a little bit of the white hitting it the inside right here i'm just getting it kind of thinned out white here and just gonna brush it along here and kind of along this top edge just a little bit there we go it's actually right in here too uh i need to round that out a little bit i'm seeing that that's a little bit looking up right here okay i'm going to go ahead and kind of use this dirty stuff that's on my brush and just kind of run some scuffs along the inside of this move on that side a little bit using paper towel to kind of take off some of the extra there there we go all right it's going to work on these leaves so i'm gonna use the burnt orange let's go ahead and use the liner brush first and put in our lines for the centers of all these let me get a little bit of magenta burnt orange for number i want to thin down your paint quite a lot i'm going to add a little glaze so that it sticks well and then i'm going to run these lines through now i'm off camera hmm not all of them are going to have really defined lines like this one doesn't really have a line so it's got some of this color kind of in here so i'm just going to kind of scumble a little bit of this color in here and just scrub it in scrumbling is technically white or lighter color over the top of the darker color so it's just not that but you get the idea just to attach you across i'm not trying i'm trying not to put this on too cleanly i feel like the the more kind of messy it is the better with some of these not necessarily messy but just a little bit looser i tend to like the look of it better looks a little bit more realistic to me if it's not super clean nothing nature's you know exactly the same color all the way along the vein or leaf you know so kind of go in and out of the color by kind of doing a looser line like a broken line skips around a little bit with colors it just tends to look a little bit more natural to me than a perfectly smooth line that's the same color all the way down so that's why i'm kind of doing it in like little dashes and dabs here some strategy we watch way too much saturday night live i like the coffee cup i like it a lot it turned out that's cool all right so let's get some of this brown here this is just a burnt umber burnt orange kind of mixture maybe a little bit of burnt sand in there i'm not sure i didn't really pay attention when i mixed it i'm gonna get a little bit of orange now what mix that with it what brush were you just using that was the uh 18 short liner thank you okay so i'm just going to kind of go dab in some of this orangey color in some places okay somebody told me the other day that she thought i was sunday man cooney for a long time she said she thought it was my videos were her doing doing it in um off-camera [Laughter] okay our voices are totally different but her styles seem kind of different too cinnamon's a friend of mine so your hair is a little different yeah i know this is funny but apparently me and her husband are interchangeable yeah well she said that's how she finally figured it out because because your your name is different than his and she's like okay they might not be the same person after all yeah but they that hasn't stopped many people from calling me john john i know yeah i'm sure he gets it too i'm sure he gets called mark all the time he gets called john all the time yeah he hates when that happens all right making some yellow yellow oxide cadmium yellow a little bit of the unbleached titanium and titanium white hair i'm going to use this on this leaf here this is a quarter inch angle we have too much paint on my brush here but hi i'm gonna get some dark because i'm just realizing this does not touch the cup so i'm gonna go around it there's the tiniest bit of shadow on the cup so i'm going to let that shadow on the cup there but there that light doesn't touch over the top of it in fact i think i'm gonna switch to this brush we'll see if i can get i might not be able to get up to the corners is all with this but see if i can this is the quarter inch blender i'm gonna get better texture with that but it's not gonna work maybe i'll get up to these edges and clean them up a little bit so okay okay just adding a little bit of highlights here and there this one's kind of our lightest leaf it seems like more in the sun and get some of that stem color and put that back in step back through and then i'm gonna dab in some of this dark color to add some freckles to our leaf grab some of that gold maybe some of the necron gold okay i'm gonna leave that she says leave it and then just i do that all the time okay now i mean let's get some white and some yellow oxide here how long have we been going two and a half hours so we're about three hours today it's okay ending yellow white yellow oxide air basically just get some yellow hair and if yours is like mine you're gonna have some really fugly edges here because we've gone over the top of them um just totally fine we're just cleaning them up now can you say that on youtube ugly oh i didn't i didn't even think about what that means okay yeah probably shouldn't say that sorry kids i really i really never even occurred to me that that's the origin of that honestly i wonder how many times i've said that inappropriately probably a lot i don't really recall it in your shows yeah good but it's you know it could be appropriate for your edges it could be appropriate for the edges of your leaves um white hair if it's not covering get white and make it more opaque actually these leaves could take some some splattering i may do that i'm gonna do like that get my brush out and getting to hear this color that was my burnt umber and what so you need to thinned out if you're splattering it'll give us those little freckles on our leaves we need this and i've just covered my mugs and wanting to get on my mug so let me cover your sky too but it's not too much in the line of fire okay oops dick did get it on there went underneath okay some of that yellow white mixture sleeve has got a lot of white in it chairs very squeaky pencil does too i'm just kind of brushing over the top of that color it's kind of toning everything down a little bit washing it out no i like the connection there between the two leaves highlight along the creases there uh indian gold here a little bit more gold color there we go and you can you can um do your little freckles multiple times so you know if you cover over too much of it here you can always go back in and add more of the the freckles later this is going to cover up some of them doing that you know going back over them here um yeah indian yellow is really the key there this is really helping this gold look a little bit more gold let me get some white let's get some of the an acronym gold this area here just be rounded out i'm going in between the veins here that part would be like kind of raised up the veins will kind of be depressed a little bit so they're sad they're just maybe down a little bit further so good now the lights catching these ones in the middle where they were raised up just a little bit more how you doing hon hanging in there of course good thanks for hanging in with me oh no my pleasure on the weekends i know you're giving up valuable xbox time right now i'm resting my body for the uh for more uh paper laying tomorrow uh-oh okay speak down you need to get spencer out there helping you you got free manual labor you're not using it it's like come on we're just laying paver stones in our garden outside looking really good you've uh turned it into quite the handyman this this year it's it's okay i've learned a lot for sure this year and uh in our garden boxes and all that i always you know i get frustrated sometimes you know when it doesn't come out as i expected but uh watching adam savage you know the old mythbuster guy he's got a youtube channel and he's been a maker for decades i mean he worked on the sets of star wars movies and things like that and obviously he did the whole mythbusters thing and you know he was doing a q a and his advice was just expect to fail i mean nobody is going to go out and do it exactly right the first time and so i like that you know go out expect to fail learn from the experience and go on and try again you know don't get so frustrated by it so like okay you know it's the idea the concept is there i mean a lot of it is pretty good you know there's things definitely would do differently or better uh obviously i'm not an expert uh favored layer yeah i'm having fun the more you do it better you'll get at it yeah it's not like gonna be another career for me for sure but you know i enjoy learning and doing and sometimes i have to buy more tools to you know to to do it so you're sorry sad about that okay of course i'd rather buy you buy another power tool buy tools and then pay somebody else to do it and they have to get the tools and keep them true so well that's a that's a good philosophy for painting too though you know anytime you're trying any kind of new en endeavor i always you know encourage my this you know students just be like you're probably not going to be that good at it at first you know and that's okay that isn't totally normal were you very good at skiing the first time you did it or playing the piano the first time you did it you know i mean like anything that you're going to try it's going to take some effort until you're going to get proficient at it just a normal part of life i mean i wasn't very good at eating at first now you're an expert and well i keep practicing well but you know i'm just saying that that with art for some reason in the art world in it i feel like it's unique to art for some reason uh i think there's just a there's kind of an exclusivity or sort of a mystery to to art and people uh and i think that the art world has definitely you know fostered that um you know that the the elite get to do art and and it's not for the everyday person you know and um i even get comments about it i've got a comment from this crazy person and get comments from this person i don't know if it's the same person or what but they're you know just people like you know like saying you know making it too easy for people to paint you know that it it and it's like it's like yeah exactly right well and it's like it well and their you know their thing was against traceables you know and my thing is like if it helps you you know it's like wearing training you know using training wheels you're not going to use it forever but when you're first learning yeah you need to have hel you know whatever help helps you get off the ground whatever helps you get you know to the next level by all means use it don't feel like you're cheating to you know use the tools that are available to you you know so i don't know i just i i really dislike the art elite elitism in in the art world that just i'm not for that at all i i hate it and i've i've gotten a feel for it i've been on that side of it you know i've been in gallery shows i've gone we went to the governor's mansion and you know we we i was in a calendar with a bunch of other artists from arkansas and uh and we were all signing each other's uh books you know the the the calendar books and going through and you know i decided you know i'd ask for somebody's signature they'd sign they'd sign it and then i'd sign theirs you know it was like that the whole night you know people were like oh here find your picture and sign it for me you know and we were all you know just really excited and to be there and then there was one dude that was thought he was better than everybody else and i don't know what you know i mean i'm sure he'd been in the art world a long time and he was probably very much more famous than any of the rest of us but he his attitude was so demeaning to everybody it was so ridiculous and you know went up i didn't know what to expect you know but and i was just like hey will you sign this you know and he he signed it and then uh he looked at my name tag and walked away didn't ask me to sign his it was just like oh i don't know you so you don't you know and it's like that's the that is the artwork like welcome to the art world there it's like if you do not have a you know it's very very elite a very very like uh you know club mentality and you are not in then you're not worthy of my attention at all you know and so i just um like i'm never going i don't want anybody to ever feel that way about their art you know i feel like all art is important and yeah i may not be the most famous or you know you may not ever be known for your art but if you enjoy it do it and you know your art expression is just as important as anybody else's so i don't know what right i didn't like earlier in the show uh or earlier in the show before the show you were watching some kind of a round table with actors right and they had you know people and time and time again they were like you know what made impression to them was the really famous big actors right would acknowledge them when yeah like nobody when they were nobody and first time on a movie set they would acknowledge them and engage them and encourage them and talk to them yeah when they were scared just starting out yeah right and so it's the same way i mean we're in this together it's it's not a competition it's not a race it's not a you know i'm a better than you it's let's share this experience together let's help each other let's go on about it yeah yeah yeah i'll never forget that it's just like that feeling of oh i guess i'm not you know important and i i thought to myself i just i don't you know i never that's just not me i'm never going you know i don't want to ever do that to other people you know that's just not right and fine he didn't you know i mean it's fine it's not like you know maybe he's sorry now he's seen my youtube channel yeah you're showing him honey showing him i don't even remember who it was i couldn't even tell you his name see there you go so there you go exactly i forget i forgot him i'm over it i'm just so over it it's the person with the broken arm because they were patting themselves on the back so much [Laughter] exactly uh he was probably on the cover or something i don't know you know okay so adding some darker smudges in here and i think we're about done kind of just messing up so that's the 15 minute mark i think we're i'm pretty much shiny i'm gonna everything's going in the dunk and the top i'm gonna sign it still means absolutely nothing i'm going to sign it down here we go oh yeah super chat yay yeah we got the super chats plural yes okay so this first super chat was from kristen and she had like a dancing kitty emoji that said thank you oh thank you kristen then we had from carol and she had an emoji that had uh wow a green pair looking character it says you are amazing awesome love it so no that one was for me this is green and yellow here in white i'm just using the tip of my brush and dragging it through and then the last one was from mama and said thank you for all you do angela and mark love spending my saturday afternoons with you x's and o's thanks mom so thanks mama and carol and kristen and now that is not my mom for all the support and could be i guess it could be it's awesome yes thank you that's very very kind of you very kind super generous yes always amazed you get super chats very sweet all right and of course thank you to all the patreon supporters you guys are absolutely amazing yes i mean i've noticed that we're getting close to 3 000 yeah we broke 3 000 last month just insane yeah yeah but thank you thank you thank you it's pretty cool pretty cool all right i mean it now i'm signing it let's keep seeing stuff like i said it was a 15 minute mark back then so go get another cup of coffee come back we'll still be going that's fine nobody seriously you know below this video is the list of the materials used links to amazon blick the brush guys for to purchase brushes there's a discount code for

that they track it to the recovery like a referral yeah it is like a referral kind of thing okay getting a little bit of the burnt umber blue white here and i'm gonna just add just a little bit more of the highlights to this area there this and this is the normal process to be you know you know very serious about it you know normally when angela is doing a painting for somebody or something you know she'll do the painting she'll walk away she'll come back look at it she'll put it up in the living room for a few days look at it different lights different angles yep go back to it add some more stuff to it so you see different things the the youtube tutorial video is a different format so she tries to do everything at one time which isn't very unusual that's not a normal process to paint so we encourage you to do that practice you know do your painting walk away from it come back look at it yeah just kind of know do it in couples you know two three settings and that's you know probably you'll have a better result with it if you kind of step away from it time to time because you see things differently from over time so just adding some gold highlights here and there i went in and added those little bright pops of of green to the mosses and yeah pretty pretty happy with that i think we got it fairly close we look at the reference photo in this i think we got our colors pretty close i think i probably could do maybe one more layer of the bright yellow up in this upper corner if we wanted to really brighten it up just slightly so maybe do that since we've got the color here and might as well right we're here i'm seeing it let's do it it's a little bit of white a lot of the yellow cadmium yellow light and he's pulled down let's pull down like sunlight almost and honestly there is kind of a fog on the mugs here so if you wanted to you could use like some zinc white um make sure everything's completely dry get a little bit of that zinc white and maybe tiny bit of the yellow and just kind of go over this whole area just slightly just to haze it out we already have kind of that look here i think we did it sort of when we put that in but we can do a little bit over the coffee mug too to kind of create that haze that we're getting from that sunlight hitting the mug if a person doesn't have a zinc white what could they use um well the titanium white with glaze it would work too it's just um it's going to be a little bit more transparent so you just want to watch that and make sure you're not adding too much of the weight but all right um okay one thing i'm saying too so this is this is the point mark teases me because i do do this all the time but this is a point where you know at the very end i'll stop and i'll look at the reference photo in the little on the screen i've got like a monitor shot of the um of my painting plus the reference basically what you're seeing i'm seeing on the small screen over here and so i'm noticing that right here this this has got a lot of that yellow color in that moss so i'm gonna add that bright pop-up yellow right over here okay a little bit right here it's easier to me for me to see it um in this smaller screen it's almost like stepping back away from the painting and helps me get that perspective of distance that i don't get when i'm just sitting right here looking at it so okay i think that's pretty good we'll go ahead and stop there and say thank you and give it a thumbs up like subscribe share it with me on social media i got all the links down in the description and i hope you come back on tuesday night we're going to be back uh with uh what are we painting on tuesday night oh oh blue flower oh that's going to be a fun one that's gonna be really pretty so yeah join us for that one it'll be a lot of fun and we'll uh yeah and like i said we've got our october schedule out now too so you can go click on my name or my photo under this video and it'll take you to my home page of my uh
