Pomegranate & Grapes Still Life 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 still life of pomegranate and grapes it's going to be a lot of fun show you step by step how to do it from start to finish got my husband mark with me hey there everybody he's mad at chat during our live show so if you've got questions while i'm painting you can ask those and i'll try to answer let's get started [Music] all right welcome if you're new to my channel we do these live streams and i show you step-by-step painting live and however long it takes me to paint it is however long we do it i haven't painted this ahead of time so i just kind of figure it out as i go along and mark and i chat about odd whatever just as if you're in here in a if i was teaching a painting class in real person so we try to keep it informal and fun so hope you enjoy it and subscribe if you liked it all right i've got a 9 by 12 inch canvas today we're going to be using a mixed media canvas board from fredericks and i painted it black and then sketched on my design on here with a charcoal pencil so just a really soft pencil or chalk or something like that pastel pencil something that will erase easily and not scratch up your paint our brushes we're going to be using princeton brushes and i've got a variety of rounds and a few filberts and filberts are the rounded tip ones here and these ones are stiff bristles so that'll make it a little bit easier to blend this is a four short filbert in the aspen series with the black and then the red handles are the velvet touch line from um from princeton sorry last all small words and then a round one and two from their 6100 series in the long handled green so again just a few random brushes filberts rounds in different various sizes and then a couple angle brushes will help us get into some of these nooks and crannies as we get going probably show some glazing tonight some dry brushing techniques so if you've ever wondered what glazing is we'll be going over that tonight in our show let's go over colors i've got carbon black burnt umber burnt sienna quinacridone burnt orange yellow oxide indian yellow hue this is cadmium red light quinacridone red quinacridone magenta uh doxazine purple ultramarine blue and phthalo turquoise and bleach titanium titanium white and zinc white and then this is gloss glazing liquid if you don't have all these same exact colors just use kind of ones that are similar in um value and tone so you know if you don't have the indian yellow hue it's just kind of an orangey golden yellow so you could add a little bit of red or or orange to your whatever yellow that you have to make it closer to that color that kind of thing all right let's get to going here i'm going to start out with my 3 8 inch blender i think and just kind of block in some of my pomegranate i usually work from back to front and that way we can kind of layer over the top and don't have to worry about overlapping of things so i'm going to get a little bit of water on this brush um this is the 3 8 inch blender i don't know if i said that already probably did um yellow oxide we've had our grand baby here for all weekend three four days three four days it's been super fun so it's we kicked them out sent them back home get out of here get out of here you and your handlebars head south i just realized that that is it it's it's a lot different to taking care of a two-year-old when you're in your 50s than it is when you're in your 30s so i'm sure logically i knew that but you know physically now physically yes exactly i know physically now all right adding a little bit of white into this with the indian yellow key over here so i've got some yellow oxide here just plain and then i added a little tiny bit of the cadmium red light here and then i added some yellow indian yellow hue and some white over here so i've got kind of three different tones to work with here just to start out i'm going to kind of come up here i'm going to get a little bit of the darker and just going to map in our shape and basically you're talking you know round shape with a little um blunt end on it here for the pomegranate not too difficult if you're going to be drawing it yourself i will have the traceable available for this on my patreon page so if you do not like to draw you can still paint just trace this on your canvas and go just kind of like a paint by number almost and some people you know are purists and are like you know that's not real art but um i think anytime you're painting and enjoying yourself it's real art so you know you do you don't worry about what other people say if you enjoy it and find it therapeutic then you know you don't have to impress anybody all right and uh most of those kind of people that would say that were are more impressed with themselves than anybody else anyway so all right getting burnt uh burnt orange here and just adding a little bit of it over here on this dark side while this is wet just kind of blending it in there and then i'm gonna go ahead and use this along the outside edge i've got this orangey golden color and our pomegranate um is the stripes and striations in it are kind of coming straight down here and then kind of going around and curving so follow the curve on these outer areas and then when you get to the middle kind of go straight and then start following the curves here and again end up like that so then you'll get kind of this rounded shape to it we passed out we have we have a neighborhood that has you know good traffic on halloween and so we always just sit outside and um pass out candy for like three hours until we run out or until we run out and this year uh was no exception and we had that's why our grand baby came down from and my parents came down which was really fun to get to see them and they got to see the fun you know liam getting to trick-or-treat he's not quite three yet and um but i had a bunch of stickers left over from um we we did a race promotion local race um and i made stickers for that and to give out to the racers and we had since it was a virtual race this year uh we had a lot of stickers left over a lot of people didn't show up to buy pick up their bags so i had like i'm not kidding when i say like 300 stickers so and we are down to about that many like we gave away and what were the stickers of a little fits pickle and holding a brush so you can show them actually i don't know no i probably don't have one here yeah maybe up there but yeah so and the funny thing was the kids i was like well you know i just put them on the table and i was like if you want a sticker you know grab it and um the kids were more excited about the stickers than the candy they were like mom i got a sticker so we're definitely going to do that next year it's like hey free advertisement and the kids love it so win-win i did um the boxes out yeah this is him like this and it had like our it was on a white square and had our logo on it and stuff youtube channel so if you're watching and you went trick-or-treating in my house thanks for showing up at our live show i'm sure maybe there'll be one or two who knows at the very least we made some kids happy get some got rid of some stickers and yeah i mean we did have some some uh trick-or-treaters that were kind of borderline you know i figure if you have a beard you would yes you might be a little old but yeah we did have them yeah we didn't we didn't shame them we didn't nope everybody gets this and gets a candy my beard was better than his so [Laughter] i'm just putting a little bit of the darker reds down here and then getting those golden yellows up in here and just again i'm just kind of going along here i'm just kind of going slow and just and it it going over this black is going to take a couple coats so we're not really trying to cover it completely right now just kind of trying to lay in the general shape and the direction of the um fruit uh stripes and things that i'm seeing here but yeah so it was a good weekend we had a really fun time this one it's got a little bit of the quinacridone red if you don't have quinacridone red you could give these like cadmium red light or or cadmium red medium or um a naphthal red or something and even just add a little bit of magenta to it speaking of i'm gonna get burnt umber and magenta here and use that in my darkest part of the pomegranate that's gonna go down here and it's going to pretty much turn to black so we just wanted just a hint of color down there but we want to keep the value and by value i mean dark and light really close to the black so it should just disappear into that black you shouldn't see a hard line there where the end of the pomegranate is joining the rest of it where's touching the black whatever there we go okay so and then at this point um this this is going to start to dry and so if i was to continue and say okay i want a second layer on here now and try to lay down more paint what would happen is i would start scratching off the paint that i've already put on because it's starting to dry it's trying to grab onto the canvas but it's going to grab on your brush if you try to paint over it so you just have to let it dry completely you can blow dry it if you're impatient but we've got plenty of other things that we can paint so we'll wait for that to dry and we'll work on another area while it's doing that all right let me see here um i don't know where i got that i always end up with weird bruises when i swear okay at least you weren't being hit by a sword no no yeah that was funny yeah my son jordan daddy daddy jillian he came home with some swords that light up foam swords that light up from one of their things like okay and the funny thing was liam was posing with it you know he like knew all the poses and he can't grant he knew he's a very good swordsman for a two-year-old okay i'm gonna get some purple we're gonna work on the grapes so i'm gonna lay in the darkest colors um that i'm seeing here and some of the areas and i'm also gonna lay in some of the lighter oranges okay so i've got the purple quinacridone magenta dioxazine purple and the quinacridone burnt orange it's going to make this really pretty um reddish purple here and this will be just the perfect color for our grapes so i'm gonna kind of lay them in a little bit here and then i'm going to get some white i'm going to spray this really good some of these grapes are going to have like a yellow undertone underneath some of them not so much but some of them have a lot of yellow and so i've sprayed this it's gonna keep it wet and i'm gonna go ahead and work on that yellow because i think that that will be good to put it in on the ones that i'm seeing it on first so adding a little bit of white to the indian yellow hue just makes it opaque it's a transparent color so it's not going to go on even with a little bit of white it's still kind of transparent there so i'm going to add a little tiny bit of the quinacridone burnt orange to it to kind of make it look a little bit even more orangey there we go so kind of something like that there we go and i'm just gonna kind of lay that in and just a few places along here whether it's getting a little bit more light and this one had some of it so all right i'm on a timer tonight because mark's wanting to watch oak island so i gotta get this ready yeah if you're in the facebook group you you see what's on the docket for tonight so i've already finished off the peppermint shake and now we're in the pomegranate painting stage yeah and then stage three is the grand finale season premiere look island nice you're telling me grabbing some of this red that we were using our pomegranate that had i think these two reds here the cadmium red light one thing you will notice if you're new to my channel if you're new to my painting um it will be helpful if you're going to be painting along to actually write down the colors that i'm mixing because i go pretty quickly and i mix several colors and then i will go back to that color that i've mixed that's still on my palette if it's wet and use it in other places and sometimes i forget what it was that i actually mixed so not uncommon for me to do that and switch around so if you're painting along you might just uh take a screenshot every now and then if i mix up a new color so that you kind of know what i'm doing what i'm using or you can just mix up your paints in the same place and use the same you know paints that i'm using we have a question okay uh they would like to know could you uh speak a little bit to the palette that you're using and what you like about it because they currently use a stay wet pellet but they're looking for other options um well the one thing about the stay wet palette is that it can make your paint kind of loose like it it really does like it pushes moisture into your paint and so i don't find it helpful for actually working while you're painting um but you can store your paints with it you know for a few days afterwards as long as you make sure that you're um you don't have it too wet because it will like turn them to soup and mold too if you don't uh yeah if you leave it for too too long so um the glass palette it does it i i do like it it does dry out my paints a little bit faster than the palette paper that i was using before i find but it's super convenient because you can just blow blow the you know or scrape it and upload um scrape the scrape the paint off um and yeah if i remember correctly you struggled a little bit at first using it because it dried the paints a little faster than you were used to that's what i just said yeah okay i was reading i was listening sorry well okay so i'm just restating everything that you're saying from now on no i just said that i didn't say that i struggled i just said that it does dry faster so okay well struggle might be a strong word mm-hmm you were surprised by it i think yeah i was surprised being that it's not poor as i thought that it would but i think that maybe it's just you know i don't know i really don't know honestly what the physical phenomenon is why i would do that but adding a little bit of dark there so i'm just kind of going through here and you can see these grapes are anywhere from like orangey red to purple you know purplish and each one of these grapes kind of really has its own like coloration um in that same kind of family so you don't have to go through and do them all the same in fact it'll look better if you kind of have a little variation with each individual grape here and if you're drawing these out just kind of remember you know to think about which ones are farther back and then which ones are in front the ones in front are obviously going to overlap on top of the ones in back and then um you'll have a little bit of darkness where they touch right here can you see that little bit of black right here right there that's because that yellow was trying to dry and i touched that area before it was dry so that's what happens i just wasn't quite dry enough so i just need to leave that guy alone come back to him when he's ready for more paint and dry okay getting some red orange color here and kind of gonna try to do a little bit of red along this edge but again it's kind of acting like it's trying to dry still so wait excuse me i'm losing my voice all of a sudden um all right let's get some more of this magenta burnt orange mixture and using that dark purple in the crevices i might even add a little bit of turquoise turquoise is going to make it more blue and darker just just a nice dark color right in here i'm just going to put this color kind of in my dark areas between some of these grapes here and some of them like down in here this there's one that's in the dark area below all these that you're just barely seeing like a tiny bit of it so i'm just gonna put it down there with this dark color same here it's kind of really nice and dark we've already got the dark that we're you know in our background but we're just kind of playing with a color just shifting it slightly maybe a half tone lighter and that black and then the ones the fruit that are kind of in front on top are also going to be just slightly bigger too they're kind of coming up out at us and just a little bit bigger so getting a little bit of that pink now and that their purple is still a little wet so i've got that white mixed in here to that this color and not the one with the turquoise but the one just with the magenta purple and in burnt orange a little bit of white mixed into it i hope to find that and i think spray [Music] i'm gonna get a little bit of the quinacridone red and add that also just to give a little bit more of a wine red color nice you'll find with these kind of fruit paintings still lives i think that the main thing is just to kind of do lots of layers because it's the sim you know the the subject is very simplified it's you're not you don't have a ton to look at you've got well depending on how complicated the scene is but you know it's kind of a static image so um getting a little creative with your paint color choices and really drawing out some of the colors that you're seeing exaggerating some of them so that they're really even more dramatic then what is in your photograph just slightly get a little bit more dark right here just shape that out i think i need to make that one a little bit bigger get a little bit of that yellow now when you add yellow and purple together it's going to make kind of a brownish color so you need to go really heavy on one of the two so it overpowers that neutralizing effect so i had mostly red in here when i picked up that yellow instead of this purple color there we go a little bit bigger i'm going to round it out at the top too i find that grapes are kind of this kind of grapes at least are kind of like an egg shape some of them are going to look round if they're facing towards you you know depending on kind of how they're angled but for the most part they're going to have kind of that general egg iggy shape okay got another question okay person would like to know how would you describe your style my style um i would say i'm mostly a realist painting painter but um contemporary is any painter who's alive so i would say i'm a contemporary um uh i like i kind of like the term painterly realism sort of so it's like realism with a little bit of a painterly edge so that it kind of shows the brushstrokes somewhat and you know i want it to look like a painting i don't want it to look like totally photorealistic i want you to kind of go oh that's a whatever you know like recognizable but then when you look at it um more closely you're like oh i see you know it looks like a painting like you can tell it's a painting too you know so just kind of a and i really do like that i'm kind of impressionist style like a renoir used to do um he's a famous um painter form from the i think 1800s or something and how he was like a contemporary of monet and some of those i believe maybe before them actually um but he um he painted in he would paint his paintings like with a portion of it like really um stylized and simplified and then he'd have like a certain section of it that was super realistic you know i really like that style i don't necessarily do it that way but i kind of i kind of bridge that gap between that like photo realism and impressionist style really like that impressionist style i have a hard time stopping myself from going all the way into realism when i do painting though so i push for a little bit more of that painterly thing but i tend to end up a little bit closer to photorealism so but yeah i don't know that wasn't a really good answer there really isn't it's hard to um classify it you know when it's your style i mean a lot of i don't know a lot of artists that are like i'm a whatever you know i mean well i guess i guess you can kind of know sort of generally where you fall but um i wonder i don't know if like well i have a much shorter answer than you have okay what is yours your style is smoking okay are you talking as an artist or as a husband i don't think that was very helpful honey okay sorry maybe i want a different direction you probably keep that to yourself okay sorry everybody get a little bit of that quinacridone red and the cadmium red light just to add a little bit of the brighter it's i honestly don't know which one is better using that light first and then go into dark or go using the dark and go into light it's kind of you're kind of going to go have to do both anyways so it doesn't really matter this one is a lot bigger facing us here gonna but yeah what i was saying though you know it's just like i don't know that you start out you know with a set thing in mind like i'm going to be a certain kind of painter you kind of just develops over time and then you can look back at the body of your work and go okay i guess i'm a whatever painter you know i think that's more like how it how it works you know but i think it's good to know kind of what you like and kind of strive for a certain type of thing and if it works great if it doesn't you know it'll you hopefully kind of adapted it to your own liking and created your own new thing out of it well your painting career also is causing you to quinacridone orange what to like go all over the place right right you're doing still lives you're doing animals you're doing all kinds of different scenes and settings right and techniques and things like that yeah whereas like a traditional artist is just doing whatever is appealing to them and right and then they can just like hone their skills in that genre yeah or whatever is selling you know depending on what you know what if they are trying to make a living at it you know which i would suggest you know it's it's very incredibly difficult to make a living at being an artist i totally get it and you know in an ideal world you'd be able to paint whatever you wanted to all the time and make money at it but i found that you know it's not always that easy to find people to buy what you want to paint you know they're not always as interested in whatever it is that you're painting as you are but at the same time you know you will burn out if you don't paint what you're passionate about so there's kind of a fine line there you're gonna have to find the things you like and then try to find your niche in the market place through that you know and hopefully the two align and you can match up your passion with your art and have a good career selling your art too it's not just painting if that's if that's what you want or just give it to friends you know i have a lot of people who just paint for themselves and they just you know use it as a way to give back yeah there was a person who posted in facebook this week just about how it's just relaxing to him right yep just enjoy it mm-hmm yeah wasn't he i can't remember what his job was is he like a police something or trying to remember it was like a really stressful job i said and painting just is like one of the activities that takes him out of his everyday you know worries and he's able to just decompress and i totally get that i say all the time i had three boys and uh i see all the you know when mark and i had three boys i should say not just me by myself well you actually had four i only had three check if but i always kind of joke that half half-heartedly but kind of true really too that i your art kind of kept me sane you know chasing around three boys for years um so it definitely helps all right just kind of going through here i need to stop getting so caught up i'm just enjoying this and talking and i need to move faster here just doing each one individually i really what you need to do is just kind of use one color and kind of go and put a little bit of it in each one of these grapes and then move on stop nitpicking i'm yeah spending 30 minutes on one grape it's not going gonna get me through this in two hours all right here we go oops my phone just went off okay there we go [Applause] put my phone on mute pause sorry hold wally oh it's just the queen of england texting you lady you know she's loving the show that's nice of her it was way past her bedtime i'm sure oh they left the chicken parmesan oh so darn it and courtney they're on the road they left their chicken parmesan from pasta grills that's too bad i hate that for them we'll try to do something with it i guess we're gonna have to eat it it's too bad you didn't already have chick-fil-a are you gonna add it for dinner all right i'm going to get some black hair because i kind of lifted the black when i was drawing earlier i think all right so the background i don't think i'm going to do a whole lot with it i think i'm probably just going to leave it black if you wanted to you could there's some slight um here we can do it just a little bit just some slight like tiny bit i'll use the zinc white too because it's not as opaque you get a little bit of burnt umber and burnt sienna or i'm sorry burnt umber and ultramarine blue and make kind of a gray gray brown add a little bit of the zinc white and zinc whites like i said just kind of transparent white so it's not gonna show up real heavy i'm just gonna scratch it here and there down here not right up against my fruit though because i want it to look nice and dark right up underneath the fruit so let me get my black and just kind of scrape it over there you go so that'll be just like a little indication of something there and then i'm gonna use the burnt sienna with a little bit of yellow oxide if i want to add a little bit of this rusty color that's back here and i can kind of just tap it and try not to create a pattern though it's easy to create a pattern when you're doing stuff like this so just kind of try to keep your brush movements random i've still got a little bit of gray in here so it's kind of adding to it see that add a little bit up here very subtle and if it's too like obvious like the the way to keep it subtle is to kind of keep and keep the values pretty dark so if you keep that your your color in the darker tones then it'll it won't like overwhelm your painting won't you're not trying to attract attention you're just trying to kind of give it a little bit of a backdrop so there we go that's all i'm gonna do there just a little tiny hint of something happening in our background so i've got these grapes started not quite finished get a little bit of white add it to this burnt orange color i'm gonna add a little bit more burnt orange just so that it's not so pink and gonna try to mark out where i'm seeing some highlights happening yeah these ones that are back here are pretty dark so i'm not seeing too much but like kind of like right in the middle of them and kind of like we did with the pomegranate kind of keep an eye on the shape of the grape and curve your brushstrokes with the shape to get a good angle on in the fruit your highlights and shadows are going to follow that shape of the fruit get some cadmium yellow light here adding a little bit more of the yellow tones and then just wear this where this to meet what you're going to want to do is get a transition color so get a color that is close to your dark and add it to the light color so you have kind of a mixture of the both and i'm just kind of lightly blending them back and forth here just while that yellow is wet don't let it dry or otherwise you won't be able to blend it so there we go do the same thing here and here wherever that yellow is there's going to be like a little slight transition from the red and let's get a little bit of this yellow with the reddish down here these ones have a little yellow tone to them i kind of think that's starting with the it's been a while since i've painted grapes so i'm just trying to remember how i did it before i think i'm finding that starting with the yellow is probably going to be better and then putting my darks back in just kind of trying to do them all at once but they're not really letting me okay let's start there leave those let's go and do these ones here so these ones are getting more light a little bit at least these ones on top here a little bit more kind of reddish a little bit brighter so i'm going to get a little bit of the quinacridone red with the magenta kind of 50 50. and then get that burnt orange and i'm gonna use that maybe a tiny bit of white but because all those colors are transparent all the quinacridones are transparent even that is probably not enough white cut a question a person is starting to upgrade their paints yes and so after white what would be the next three or four that they may want to look into investing in get a good yellow because your yellow will make a big difference you know yellow is in your cheaper paints that they they won't cover very well so if you get a good yellow cadmium yellow light probably would be my choice um if you don't want to do a cadmium you could do um hanza yellows are okay um and then a i'm trying to think probably carbon black i would probably get black because i i if you're painting a lot of paintings like this where you're doing the black backgrounds having that that will cover in one coat versus like three coats for a cheaper paint so you know it'll save you money and time in the long run having a good black and then probably quinacridone magenta for sure i use that in almost every single painting and then for blues i would get a phthalo turquoise and and then i've started using the phthalo turquoise instead of phthalo blue and yellow green because it's like in between and you can do everything that those two colors can do combine you know so you can go more blue if you add a little bit of yellow to it i'm sorry not a little bit of magenta to it so you could use magenta turquoise and any yellow hue or cadmium yellow light and get just almost a full range of colors just with those three colors i used to use the little blue and they look green a lot but not recently i've been switch into the turquoise it's i like it better plus i don't have to put as much paints out all right getting a little bit of the purple here with my magenta i'm gonna use that over here there's one here in the dark and then let's kind of color this one a little bit darker right here at the bottom so while you're painting circles you get a little bit of them unbleached titanium it's like titanium white it's got a little bit of yellow in it i'm gonna use a little bit of cadmium red light and the magenta we'll talk about that patreon yeah patreon so it's the beginning of the month as we're doing this show so that means it's a great time to sign up for patreon because you get the whole month because they built by the calendar month and currently our levels are two dollars for the traceables so you would get the transfers for this painting and every other youtube video that she's done since february 2017 and then there's a five dollar level where you get that plus you also get a bonus video that we do on a sunday so that's coming up uh on the 14th of this month and then also landscape oh nice and also again you get all the bonus videos going back that far too and then the 10 level is all that plus also a challenge image where there's a class each thursday we work on the same painting all month long and again you get all the previous challenging ones too so come on down that's just extra people out who's asking me about patreon and it's just in case you want more um what's the word more angela more [Laughter] more advanced paintings and you know a little bit more resources and things so the 10 level group is really fun and we do a live stream most most thursdays not every thursday it just depends on how far along we are in our painting but we just work on the painting all month long until we finish it so it's not like this one where i have to sit down and finish it in one setting it's a little bit more natural setting so you can kind of see how i work out um you know probably different problems and things that and usually the images thus the name challenge are more challenging for me included and i try to pick things that are something that i haven't painted elsewhere and kind of figure out how to do it so it's a lot of fun i think and those ladies and guys not just ladies sorry we've got like 80 percent ladies there are some guys and we appreciate them putting up with us the ladies and as i say you know the the best part of that ten dollar level is that i'm not in the shows usually right because i'm not talking about my other job so if you want mark to be in those shows you can sign up and work towards his uh retirement fund yeah closer getting closer every day yep to all you amazing supporters out there yes month after month yes this is incredible incredible but it will only take like one or two of you at the million dollar level that would secure that secure that yeah your retirement and then you could be in all the challenge videos right i'll just be all the time with me all the time i can't wait [Laughter] actually we got a taste of it it was actually of all the things that came out of kova that were horrible you know and terrible one good thing came out of it that was that uh mark and i got to spend six months together at home on lockdown and realized that we could survive working together and not kill each other we're both alive we did fine we didn't have any major blowouts or i can't we still don't have a police record that's good we're not gonna show up on any reality tv show up at our house not once when it's awesome yeah exactly oh sorry just stretching all right if it's pickle our dog got in we don't know what happened to him but he was sick yesterday i had to take him to the vet he was limping and then as soon as we got to the vet he stopped limping like dude i forced them to like work you in today because you were limping and wouldn't even walk around out in the yard to go to the bathroom and now you're making me look like i was lying like he got there as soon as i set him down he started walking around like nothing was happening and i'm like dude come on i think it must be a predator thing they like sense other dogs around it like i can't show weakness but he was pathetic i mean just like oh he's back to normal today so i have no idea what was going on with him he was faking it i think to get attention from liam that's what i'm part that would be funny your dog not funny but you know kind of funny dogs jealous trying to get attention away from the grand baby by limping and carrying on yeah he was getting in between me and liam as we were playing trains on the floor okay how's it going hey dad you don't need to but he saw that the vet and barked at her did i tell you that yes you came in the door and he barked at her like nope you are the mean lady you poked me last time i was here oh you remember like super sweet too yeah i know he remembers yep okay touching up with a little bit of black hair all right so basically did the same thing over here just kind of filled in all those grapes with my reds and not as many with the yellow over here i will add it but again these are kind of drying so i'm gonna let it dry completely and come back to it but since this is dry i'm gonna i can go ahead and put a second coat on here now so i'm going to get my yellow oxide a little bit indian yellow hue i picked a yellow oxide because it was trans it was opaque you could use yellow ochre too and the yellow oxide is transparent so it wouldn't cover the black so that's why i grabbed the yellow oxide at the last minute just to make sure i had some opaque color here to add and then just gonna kind of scratch it along here let some of that first layer show through and there's a lot of like areas where there's kind of almost stippling so i'm just going to go ahead and tap with this this is a stiff bristle brush so it'll kind of do this little stippling effect and then i can kind of wipe off my color and just sort of smush that around and blend it in a little bit while that paints wet soften that up a little bit it's better it was a little bit thick with paint so this is called stippling when you're just tapping paint over the top here creating a textured pattern and then if i want a dry brush i can use this brush that doesn't have any water in it i've wiped it you know wiped it clean so it's dry you don't want to do this with a good healthy brush a soft brush like this because you can damage your brush so you want to use a brush that's got stiff bristles that's meant for this kind of technique or an older brush that's kind of damaged but already you know because you don't want to ruin it but i'm going to get a little bit of my quinacridone red and my cadmium red light and sort of mix those two together and i'm seeing pretty um intense color here so i'm not gonna try to tone down this color much of it all i'm just going to use it straight up and i'm going to lay it on here tap it sort of stippling it but where you dry brushing comes in is where you almost lay your brush down flat on the canvas and just drag it and you see how it's picking up the texture of the canvas and this texture this canvas is fairly smooth so it's not going to be as noticeable as like if you had a really textured canvas this would be really noticeable because you would pick up all the little nooks and crannies of your canvas would pick up that paint it pulls it off the canva off the brush and you end up with this nice textured effect it works really well for wood and things like this where you're going over this dark color okay adding all these nice i'm going to get a little bit of the quinacridone red use it maybe get a little bit of the magenta and over here it's quite a lot redder darker so i'll go ahead and give it a second coat over here i'm really just kind of scratching it in at this point just pushing that paint that's where why i was saying you know you want to use a stiffer bristle brush and it's because you're really pressing against the bristles and you never really want to push against the bristles when you're brushing with a paint paintbrush like this because it can break them and they'll split and they'll break off against you're always with this kind of brush you're always wanting to pull with the grain of the hairs and you know going in this direction but in this whoops in this case we're actually pushing in both directions and side to side so that's not something you would do with the normal brush okay getting some more of that yellow right here along this edge needs like a little bit of highlights happening right here so this brush is kind of like me kind of like not normal not normal yes aren't we all not normal what is normal anyways i've never really understood that normal is boring okay so right in here it's like a yellow area on top kind of skirts next to this dark okay and again when you're making these kind of patterns you just want to make sure you're kind of every now and then rotating your brush so you're not getting these repeat patterns in your brush strokes so you can tend to end up with with a pattern that's you know same same same same all lined up and then it really takes away from the realism so keep an eye on that and i'm tapping i'm kind of moving my brush up back almost in like a figure eight back and forth and up and down constantly moving it in different directions so that i'm not repeating my patterns and same the same areas and getting repeat um obvious patterns okay i said that four different ways so hopefully you understood but at least there was enough pattern to it thank you very much please tip your waitresses or waiters right oh we had a i don't usually leave bad reviews but i left a really bad review last night for a local restaurant i was mad yeah there their customer service well let's listen stellar they really didn't have one yeah it didn't yeah it didn't really exist when they hang up on you that's pretty much like a sure tell sign that yeah so well we're beyond that now yes we are okay mark's like don't don't get her started happy thoughts she may have left a google review [Laughter] when you go to their facebook page and they don't have any stars or a place where you can leave a review there's a that's a red flag [Laughter] yeah all right using the purple this is that dark mixture the purple magenta burnt orange and just going right along my edge here and really darkening that up try to move this away from here but it really kind of the way i drew it i need to have that closer to that okay there we go looks good let's go ahead and darken up the top of this guy and then i'm just gonna get with my with my brush here i'm gonna get the one round and some water and some burnt umber maybe a little bit of burnt sienna yellow oxide i just want kind of a brown but i don't want to over mix these colors so i kind of want it to be streaky and i'm just going to kind of oops a little bit wet get some of that water off of there there we go i don't know why this is so watery i must have i have a little pool of water right there and i'm just going to kind of go up on the side of that kind of create that sort of dark stuff that sticks out the top of that pomegranate to stem the end of stem you know what that's called but huh stub i think you have the technical term right dark stuff dark stuff okay getting some white now with my academy um or my indian yellow hue so i want to go kind of a little bit yeah lighter here i'm going to highlight that top part right there just a little bit so that's all i'm going to do you can just all it was a little wiggle so you can you don't have to over over um detail things and your your eye will figure out the rest and it'll kind of fill in the gaps it's really amazing how our her our perceptions do that um so when painting this kind of realistic type painting sometimes less is more you know doing less is uh just enough i'm gonna go in here just a little tiny bits little tiny dots in the right place will make a big difference okay so i'm gonna get that color with my blender here make sure this is dry i'm gonna get some of the zinc white and my indian yellow hue zinc white being transparent and the indian yellow hue also being transparent create a nice yellow that's gonna be a nice soft highlight color for me i'm gonna just put it kind of in the middle so lay down my color kind of bright right where i want it to be the brightest and then i can wipe off and just kind of work the edges and scrub out those edges so that they're soft and this may take a couple coats so don't worry if it doesn't you know look good on your first try i'll definitely need to go back in and put another you know layer of white on there but i got to let that dry just like you know we've talked about before you need a little bit of burnt umber and put in some like spots with my burnt umber that are kind of maybe little spots of my fruit you know the pomegranate have these little streaks and spots there we go i'm looking more and more realistic okay so we'll put that highlight on there it'll be perfect let's go ahead and work on our part of our fruit down here i'm gonna get the burnt orange uh burnt i don't know why i said burnt the unbleached titanium and add it to this yellow oxide mixture that we just made and i'm going to kind of map out my shape um in the pomegranate right here my little wedge and then just kind of use it to scrape i'm going to get some of that yellow oxide use it to kind of scrape underneath sort of where i'm seeing this wedge and it's just it's basically a triangle that's got a rounded bottom this is what i'm seeing with it and a little bit of some flaky stuff happening at the top and sides so it's it's a good thing that you and i weren't around in like the the discovery part of time right you know 1500 16 or 40 whatever right and we're in charge of naming things because the uh the textbooks would look a lot different flaky bits slicky bits black furry stuff [Laughter] my my my talent is not in naming things it's in painting them but maybe if we put like words or not well we could put it like a latin term in front and then a bit more official sounding i can't remember my latin i took two years of that in high school and i yeah and how's that working out for you don't yeah that's two years of your life you don't get back that's true true so does anybody here speak latin you're not supposed to speak it's supposed to be like to set you up for doing better with other languages and with english vocabulary because we derive a lot of our words from latin which i i think it there's some truth to that because i do have a decent vocabulary and can kind of figure out root words but but no i don't use it all right using the same dark over here that i used before maybe a little bit more red in it but that purple magenta mixture here i'm gonna fill in my pomegranate fruits here give them a little bit of red and they're all mushed together and then they kind of i don't know if you've ever eaten the fruits but they when you like take them out they're kind of um they're kind of that egg shape almost but because they've been smushed together they're they have like almost an angular shapes so our highlights here are very angular i noticed they're like um they're not like smooth and soft rounded shapes they're kind of flattened out in places so that'll be fun when we do our highlights we can kind of play with that so for now i'm just kind of trying to get in some of these dark shapes because really what's going to form the basis of these fruits and shape them out is the is their highlights so i'm gonna get some of that quinacridone or the cadmium red light some of these down here a little bit more red inside and getting that dark go between okay let's get that cadmium red light and i'm going to use that to kind of just gonna lightly map out sort of my basic shapes now that i've got my dark in here kind of avoid the outside edges and sort of just work the centers and into these lighter colors and there's that seed that kind of is in the middle that we can kind of see through glowing through the pomegranate too so this will be kind of a way to show that those seeds are kind of that sort of like a little shape like that let's go ahead and just do it that way and then we can fill it out later so when you get to the seed part you get a whisper seed whisperer yes sorry that's okay try not to i think what it is is that the smaller the object you're painting the lower your voice gets lower my voice gets it's kind of like a proportional it's the more i concentrate the more my voice gets soft thinking and concentrating there we go this one looks a little bit more um planned out so i want to go back in and make it more random looking a little bit there we go so we'll let those dry and then we'll put in some more bits and things but while this is drying i'm going to go ahead and get a little bit of purple and my burnt umber tiny bit of black i'm going create my shadows around the fruit there and i'm just gonna use this dry brush here and just tap over it because it's kind of wet just smush it in a little take off some of the moisture there just make sure i've got some and it should kind of just dissolve into nothing over here where where it goes down so this is just all broken up we don't want it to look too fancy or smooth at all take away from the realism again kind of like we did up here just kind of less is more just little lines and indications all we need let's get a little bit of white mine bleach titanium there's some white through here and kind of work it in and wiggle my brush so that it looks kind of powdery and is breaking up in places so kind of like partially covering up colors but not fully there we go excuse me all right i think now we'll let that dry i'll let that dry let's go ahead and work on this again give this another layer so i'm going to get just the in the zinc white and a little bit of the titanium white so kind of 50 50. and really take the moisture out of my brush so i have just the just the paint is the wet part i'm gonna drag it where i want it brightest and very quickly wipe my brush off and while that's still wet work that edge do this quickly don't don't try to get your shape perfect or anything your you can kind of mess with it while you're pushing it around here but i'm not ever touching in the middle of that wet paint because that'll lift it i'll scrub it off if i do that so i'm just trying to kind of get right up on that around it and oh it's good i'm going to get a little bit of yellow and just kind of come on right around the outside with yellow yellow that's good okay so we'll leave that to dry a nice highlight there and i'm going to get a little bit smaller brush this time so i'm going to get my blender my quarter inch blender i'm going to start to do the same type of thing as this on my grapes so i'm going to get my zinc white and my ultramarine blue that's gonna be the color that i use on my grapes so we've got this nice purple tones and things in here and this is going to give it a nice like that kind of smokey color that you get on your grapes this is really really fun so you're like oh i didn't see blue but yeah i see it now you know and the zinc white helps it from going on too opaque too obvious um you can just use it to kind of shape the grapes a little bit we're gonna glaze two so this isn't the final layer we're gonna glaze and we're gonna highlight a little bit so i'm not i'm just kind of looking on my photo to see kind of where i'm seeing the most of the the little smoky highlights that are in the grapes great little trick you especially see it down here up in here the highlights are a little bit more pink but what we can do is we can when we glaze we can use a little bit of red and it'll make this that blue look a little bit more the right tone you can see they're not it's not smooth we're not trying for smooth we're trying for kind of the broken up little highlights so just kind of scrubbing it changing direction and getting some little you can tap if you want to just however it works for you but just kind of getting some little patterns in my grape this one's kind of looking funky but we'll fix him and i didn't actually get the red on here but i'm going to go ahead and do this anyways a little bit on each one of these not as much highlights on these ones that are in our dark areas and also kind of follow that direction of the outline of the fruit too it'll help this out get all done and this is what i was talking about about like exaggerating the color because there is a little bit of blue in the grapes but we can really play with it and bump it up even more just because we want it to be a little bit more dramatic it'll still be realistic but i have a really interesting color story lots of colors going on in here not just purple and white or red and white okay nice okay i'm licking it let's go back over here i think this is dry enough i can get a little spot of white right here um let's go ahead and get my zinc white and my titanium white same thing we did over here so it's not too too much too quickly actually i want to i want to wait i want to do the white highlights at the very end i want to do the the glazing first the shadows so i'm gonna get my ending yellow hue i'm gonna start with glazing with the yellow and some glaze and if you don't have glaze just use water it's fine wipe off most of it so there's just a little bit on here and i'm going to use it to tint some of these grapes i'm gonna add just a little hint of yellow see how that works see okay okay i'm gonna get some red a little bit of the cadmium red light and quinacridone red cadmium red lightest is an opaque red so it'll help this cover a little bit really nice it's got a really bright glow though so that quinacridone will kind of tone it down a little bit will add that glow that we're wanting in our gonna make them look like they're glowing on the inside a little bit if you cover up all your blue then you can almost go back in and put it in again so here we go pretty pretty i'm using the angle 3 8 inch angle brush again for this so quinacridone red and cadmium red light for this and this is not quite glazing i'm kind of in between it's not quite opaque but not quite transparent it's kind of in between so kind of going over this and just tinting it a little bit translucent color adding a little bit more glow i'm gonna get a little bit of that dark magenta with that black and burnt orange or burnt umber i mean use it down here on this guy and this is transparent so it's kind of glazing this guy kind of goes to dark just use my finger to kind of wipe it out so it has a nice smooth blend here let's go and use it here too so this guy does the same thing goes almost black on this edge away from the light source figure out your light source and this lighting is super dramatic so all of these that are farthest away are getting really dark on this area where they're turning under and there's a little shadow on this guy too so is that called chiaroscuro i don't know what you're talking what that yeah that the super dark that effect okay possibly because i can't say the word i had to play it online [Music] somebody asked about it earlier oh yeah yeah it's just uh old masters kind of this these kind of paintings with the really dark dramatic light i don't use that word tend to don't just kind of yeah i told him i wasn't gonna try to say it because no but i thought that this what you were doing here looked like with the pictures that were online so yeah it is it's a similar yeah yeah the use of strong contrasts between light and dark right using my reds and my burnt orange here these guys need some color down here okay we're almost there not sure if we'll get done in our two hours but we'll try and try and pretty close so let's get these guys some really good shadows hold on i got a yoda magnet over here for you what said i have a yoda magnet for you don't try do or do not there is no dry purple magenta burnt orange a little bit of black really dark i'm gonna use it transparently to darken up this guy all right and then if you need it anywhere in here you can use it in your pomegranate to kind of darken up in between some of these seeds if you know if they got a little too much you can use it up here i'm going gonna go ahead and just glaze a little bit on here just to darken up my pomegranate on this side really well and then i'm gonna get a little bit of white and this quinacridone red and just kind of use it to sort of highlight right there where that this one kind of overlaps this sticks out a little bit let's go and use that color that quinacridone or quinacridone red and white here just a little bit of a highlighted red we can use it kind of like we did the blue highlights and i'm finding it hard to see when i'm looking straight down i'm seeing it better i look at the camera tilting it towards you right now you know it's like there there's a lot of glare on it here we go all right so going in between some of these and just kind of bumping up the you know the contrast between the two layers there making sure i've got a good like highlight and shadow side on all of them a little bit of red nice and i think i'm going to have to put the blue on these ones again down here you sound like a gangster there for a second what i'm going to put the blue on these ones again you know what i mean do you kinks to heart blowing grapes nobody's business what'd you say bluing grapes like nobody's business you don't want to know it's an art thing okay all right [Music] just put a little ghost of a color see if i can get a little bit just like the ghost of grapes underneath there same thing right here just like the ghost of color there so that they look really dark this should be almost black all these that are kind of underneath and overlapped with other colors there's a little bit i'm gonna get some of that red that i was using before with the two reds there get a little bit of highlight right on here just where it peeks out it's a little highlight okay and then getting that purple magenta quinacridone burnt orange and if you don't have quinacridone burnt orange use like a burnt sienna would work but more magenta it's kind of a reddish reddish orange so just using this glaze to separate out my grapes here and darken up add my shadows on the side away from the light okay sometimes you're seeing it on the top too just depending on the grape somebody would like to know does the black background require more layers than a light background it does somewhat but i think it also um contributes to the um there's just like a slight every now and then you can see a little bit of it through your paint and it i i think working on black for something like this especially where you have a lot of the dark areas is really makes it easier to put together a painting like this it's faster than it would have been to do it um on white and you know you get the better i don't know i think it's just you get a better moody feel for it so all right so now i've got my i'm gonna get a little bit of the cadmium red light and my cat um quinacridone red and my white and i'm gonna use it kind of where i'm seeing my light source and i'm just tapping my brush in that area a little bit so this should just be a little bit lighter than what we've done previous and i want to do a little bit of yellow in this one because i didn't but these guys didn't get any yellow so i'm going to use a little bit of that indian yellow hue over here give them a little bit of yellow glow and give these guys a little bit more yellow too use this color with the yellow and this is one of those things where you know i'm i'm going for you know i'm really bumping up the realism here but if at any if at any point you want to stop you can stop you know you don't have to continue on and do it this realistic all right so i'm going to go ahead and switch over to a little bit smaller brush we'll do the highlights in our pomegranate and i'm going to get the zinc white for this and a little bit of the ultra titanium white it's kind of 50 50 again and i'm gonna just kind of very carefully draw in some shapes that are slightly transparent and more more opaque in certain spots so and really look at your shapes that you're seeing in your pomegranate because tendency is going to be to want to do circles but these are actually really interesting shapes they're kind of more like squares and hexagons so shake this one out a little bit a little red softening up those white bits with a little bit of red okay go back to get that color there white and if you don't have the zinc white just use ultramarine or um titanium white with you know just less potent a little bit more transparent some of them are just like one side of it lit up it's kind of a yellow one here i'm gonna get a little bit of that indian yellow hue like an immature one okay back to the whites temptation is going to be to do more than what you're seeing so just just do what you see trust what you're seeing that'll make it look more realistic oh okay here we go and let's use this in our grapes would be about done so i'm gonna use i'm gonna use this brush this is a filbert and i'm gonna get a little bit of water but i'm gonna try to keep my brush fairly dry you need to add a little bit of water since it's a softer brush but um i'm going to go ahead and get a little bit of blue and start out with the blue do that again in a couple places because i kind of wiped off a lot of my blue markings so just a few places and sort of in my brightest areas oh yeah i've got to do the green stems too don't let me forget those are the fun fun part uh it's really kind of almost scribbling with this just kind of putting the color down like we did up here put the color down where you want it brightest and then just push it around a little bit you can use your finger to push it around and if you get too much you can always glaze back over it not set in stone don't be afraid you'd be surprised what you can do it takes a little practice and don't you know don't expect it to be perfect on your first try you know nobody's perfect when they first try out anything new so i don't know why there's this notion that you're not good at art if you can't do it perfectly the first time you sit down to try it it's totally false everybody that's a good artist has had to work at it to get there unless you're like a savant and that's very rare you know you might have a little bit of innate talent that makes it easier for you but doesn't mean that somebody can't learn it just as well by working hard at it you know so um get a little bit of white this time going in with a little bit of brighter color just in the centers of some of these some of these like this one has kind of almost like a window highlight right here yeah i think as adults somehow we were fed the notion that you know we're not good at art and that you know we can't do it even if we really want to somehow there's a lot of people i know that you know had art classes as kids or something and just you know didn't come naturally to them or for whatever reason they just had a bad experience with it and then never tried again i cannot tell you how many people i you know even friends of mine are like no i'm not good at art and i'm like no you you know you actually could be if you practiced at it um it's with you you know with now nowadays with youtube and stuff it's not like it was when when i learned i had to you know learn from actual teachers and class in person or you know books or whatever that i could find scrounge up for instructions and nowadays there's just resources everywhere that's why i appreciate our patrons so much because i know there's a ton of other teachers out there that are teaching and doing really great work but we've got some really sweet and loyal followers that many of them have been following us for years and it's just amazing to me because i know you know like i said there's a lot of really good teachers out there so i'm glad that you see something and what we're doing of value and come back so i appreciate it those who watch our videos and share them with friends and share them on your social media really does help us um get the word out you know there's times this year especially it's been kind of interesting because i think that people have been cooped up and you know tired of being at home for you know so long so we had a really big dip this summer we're starting to see it kind of bounce back in our numbers but you know uh last year we didn't have that because everybody was home so i didn't have anything to do but watch videos you know so i'm glad for people that they're getting out and getting to do things but same time we're kind of miss our regular folks that watch us so we're hopefully this fall winter once it's getting cooler because i'll kind of get back into painting and doing some of this stuff that yeah yeah hang out with the old gang yeah exactly a lot of them are you know been with us all the way through regardless and like you said we really do appreciate it for sure yep yep all right it's looking good getting there almost there real quick i wanted to mention that we're coming into the holiday season and so if you're looking to give christmas ideas for your for yourself to loved ones and others you can share the links to like the brush guys and get brush sets things like that that are down below here too yeah yeah all the materials that we use we have links that are affiliates that help support our channel too just by purchasing through our links no extra cost to you but it really helps us if you use those yeah keeps our videos free we'll be doing these as long as we can this one got higher for some reason i don't know these got moved around a little bit but that's all right this still works see how much that white highlight really makes a difference in it you can see the ones we haven't done yet okay getting some of that white a little bit of the zinc white and the ultramarine blue here we'll start out with that like we did over here and just we already had a little bit of this but we're just like bumping it up in the brightest areas just have that as a backdrop for our highlights think about your shape here so you got the rounded shape but then their highlights are kind of again following that curve so i'm not going in with like a straight highlight i'm always kind of curving them around so that they're creating that rounded shape of our grape i definitely think there was a window in here somewhere a lot of shapes that look like windows light source this one is right up against this guy okay getting some white the nice thing about this again is just it's really pretty easy to do these highlights because this the fruit has got a really interesting texture so i mean even though it's a smooth grape we know it's round and smooth the way the light's picking up on the skin though is kind of muddled and irregular so it makes it really neat interesting highlights things happening get some yellow and white season this guy's lit up instead of dark right there it's lit got some yellow what's going on someone may have locked themselves out spencer that's funny okay getting some of that magenta oh it's got the turquoise in there i actually don't mind that color though i just need to clean out my brush so a little bit of the magenta and a little bit of the turquoise i'm just going to use it to darken up a couple of the areas here this is where you can glaze and adjust like i said you know you don't have to once you get your highlights done you can go back in and if you go over those light areas you can change the tone of the color totally you can make a red or you know let's go ahead and do that up here i'll show you what i'm talking about so we'll get a little bit of this quinacridone red which is a transparent color and i'll just go over some of this light area here see how it's gonna tint it so kind of a way to tone down if you get your highlights on and you're like uh it's a little too bright there or whatever it doesn't kind of blend in very well you can kind of go over it smooth it out a little bit and help it help it out get a little bit of the unbleached titanium with that red quinacridone red i'm going to use it on this guy to but yeah there we go smooth out that bright highlight go around the edges of it kind of there we go excuse me a little bit more white here i'm just gonna really bump up give it a nice bright little highlight a couple places uh okay mark's counting down he said is she gonna make it i think i can i think i can i think i can no i was just checking out that you've got a a great lineup for november a lot of christmas themed stuff coming up here yep yep already starting on christmas so if you haven't already hit the like subscribe at the reminder for all these great tutorials coming up mm-hmm yeah i'm looking forward to it it's gonna be really fun nice ending yellow hue mostly yellow a little bit of the turquoise i can add a little bit of the ultramarine blue too to kind of help bump it up and some white there we go nice bright vivid green there and i'm going to use my round this is the one round i believe yeah one round twist my brush two points i've got a nice so just really whatever liner you choose to use just make sure you've got it going to a nice point and get more white and the yellow got a little bit of this green to it there we go okay and i'm going to come out here just kind of on its own it's kind of a stem coming down and then it comes down meets up with this there let me get the darker green there okay wiping that off come down in here it's coming out and there's all these little bits you know they do where they break off and they kind of come to the different grapes so i'm gonna start out small and then kind of map out where i want these to go [Music] you're really not seeing these ones are off camera here so i'm not seeing where these are going to the grapes already gone off of them probably so go ahead and go right down in there and then i'll get that dark burnt umber black with this green here and just darken up that stem where it's coming out and we can add a little bit of dark here and there to just some of it where it fades out and maybe the ends broken off or something same thing here give it a little a bit bit of dark here and there all right i'm gonna get a little bit of yellow and yellow hue and my white come on there we go so just slightly brighter than what we were just using and kind of go along the tops of a couple of these little spots here and just highlight bring it out give it a little bit of dimension there we go i'm going to add a little bit of this greenish yellow color to the pomegranate too that'll help unify it even if it's not in here i would add it but it is there's a little bit of this color in here or one kind of like it nice i can add a little maybe a hint of it down coming off your hair or something i don't know if i like that i'll take that off okay all right i think we're done what do you think good it looks pretty amazing actually a little bit of burnt umber here add a little bit more bright or dark i should say like spots there and again you could glaze the glaze in the pomegranate um seeds i didn't spend a ton of time with the pomegranate seeds so i might go let me just wall before i and i'll get a little bit of the quinacridone red with the with the white a little bit of the orange but and just kind of outline a few of these just slightly give it a little glow we kind of got the orangey seed in there already so this is just going to help define the outline of them a little bit more it'll get them a little closer together they're kind of spread out with a lot of dark in between so not that much dark in there there's kind of more red getting a little bit of magenta doing the same with the magenta nice okay so pretty getting the white the only thing that would make this bitter is probably just have like a chocolate bar right in there somewhere any more delicious yeah i mean it's okay but i mean to really bring it to master level right some chocolate dark chocolate right there exactly yeah in fact you probably just paint over the whole thing and just chocolate bar yeah maybe i need to do that next like for valentine's day or something do a chocolate bar take some photos of the see's candy well you better do it quick shout out to sees you can sponsor if you want to yeah we'll take payment and free candy [Laughter] all right there we go yeah turned out good i like it i like it i'm gonna get a small round and sign it well mark's doing his thing [Music] and that's for the new people yes we ring a cowbell at the end for all the super chatters they're like okay i don't get it you get it now oh yeah we were supposed to start stick man that's right you promised i forgot all about it too okay we'll start it i can't do next week but we'll start it the week after okay sounds good so we have uh we had three super chatters tonight the first one was from dana and it says as always your painting is absolutely stellar thanks so much for always putting me in a great mood yay so thank you dana and then we have from karen says i love you both so much thank you for sharing your talent with us all thank you karen so i'm thinking karen was talking to him specifically your talent so anyway because what is your talent i'm trying to figure that out and then the last one was from white from pat and says thank you for sharing your talent and humor with us oh well that is your talent i think humor yeah okay yes pat nailed it so thank you to pat and to karen and to dana thank you guys super sweet all right there we go that was fun hope you enjoyed it if you did give it a thumbs up like subscribe all that good stuff and i'm noticing that this is more red in our photos more reddish so um what i can do before we go is use my glaze with my little cadmium red with the that's got the orangey tone to it and just put a wash of orangey red over most of this [Applause] it'll change that color right up this is what i was talking about with glazing sometimes called washes washes are technically like the entire canvas the background you know so that's the difference but basically they're both the same type of you're you know using a thinned out paint to cover an area there we go now it looks more red we could even do it again but i think we're well now we need to do our work sorry no big deal like i said they're probably gonna recap the last nine seasons tonight so i'm not gonna miss much well i knew
