Sewing Still Life Acrylic Painting LIVE Tutorial

you hello this is Angela Anderson thanks for joining me for this acrylic painting tutorial in this video I'm gonna be showing you how to paint a sewing still life we're gonna have some thimbles and sewing spools with some thread got my husband mark with me hey there everybody he's a man and chat for our live show today so while I'm painting you can ask questions and I'll try to answer them let's get started [Music] all righty so I have prepared my canvas I've got a Fredrick's canvas today it's their Pro Series Belgian linen canvas board love these they're a 9 by 12 inch size you really could use any size you to but this is kind of my favorite size for camera works it's just just the right size seems like and I have transferred on the design I coated the background with 50/50 burnt umber and carbon black you can do any kind of dark brownish color you could even do black if you wanted to really I just thought that the brownish tones would be helpful with the wood that we're gonna be putting on here and then I've transferred on my design we're gonna kind of do the wood tones around it a little bit not gonna go over the drawing so much today like I normally do but I do have the tres full available on patreon if you're interested in that okay so we're gonna the brushes you're gonna want is you're gonna want like some sort of a stiff bristled a large flat brush for the wood grain in the background I've got my Aspen Brite 12 number 12 it's a little bit over an inch I think for most of that'll probably be using that brush and then for some of the detail on the spools we're gonna want some sort of an angle or flat brush to fill in those areas so I've got a 3/8 inch quarter inch and a Engels and then this one is a bright a quarter inch bright so the the brushes are all Princeton rushes there our brush sponsor I love them they'll vut touched the red handles and Umbria are the blue handles or the not that's not blue they Brown handles I'm sorry I'm a little flummoxed because I was out eating my lunch from the back porch at 1:30 I usually get into the studio at like 1:00 to start prepping and I'm just out there enjoying my lunch and going where's Mark and like if I sound a little flustered its marks in the studio getting ready I'm making myself a deal illah and enjoying the sunshine outside all right summertime fever I guess quarter-inch blender 3/8 inch blender and then for some of the for the thread you can do it kind of three different ways I think that you can probably get by with a fan brush to do that if you want to do it real simply if you have a filbert grainier or one of these kind of rake brushes they'll probably do a little bit better job I'm thinking but if worst case scenario you can always use a liner brush and just do them individually by hand and I'll probably do a little bit of all three and see which one looks best for us um and this one I think we'll use these blenders on the wood grain on the actual spools because they've got a little bit of a texture and wood grain there and then I've got a number four and a number one round for some of the dots and smaller details I'm not really sure if we'll need all these brushes but I just grabbed kind of what I thought we might need I haven't painted this ahead of time so you guys don't see this live in real time me trying to figure it out hopefully it'll go well we'll see could go either way 5050 we would paintin I've been painting for about 30 years so I've got that to my advantage it's a little bit of experience hopefully I can get myself out of it if I did you just go over the colors mess things up nope not yet okay good cause I don't ever show us know what I'm going right now though okay Carbon black burnt umber burnt sienna yellow oxide this one is quinacridone yellow no I always say that wrong quinacridone nickel as a gold so if you don't have this one yellow Indian yellow is hue is similar it's just that gold dipped in our yellow spool here this one is cadmium yellow medium and I went with phthalo green blue shade instead of the yellow shade today but if you have the yellow you can just add a little bit of blue - it'll be fine it'll be similar to this one this one's just got a little bit of more of a blue Lee already this is ultramarine blue doc Susie and purple and quinacridone magenta unbleached titanium titanium white and I think why I think why it's going to be our transparent white that will be using kind of in our silver here it'll just be an easier way of doing it but if you don't have it you can use the titanium white and have some sort of a glazing fluid I used the golden glazing liquid this one is satin you can get it in or I'm sorry gloss and this you can also get in a satin finish either one spice I like the golden one because it's got a slow drawing extender so most glazing mediums do not okay I had a little like paint things right on my screen right here so I was like is that on my keep looking here and I'm like okay I gotta wipe my monitor off there that is that my poor monitor gets splattered with paint all the time no okay I think we're ready to go let's do this so like I said if you're just joining us the background is burnt umber and a little bit more burnt umber and and carbon black probably two-to-one almost 50/50 carbon black - burnt umber more burnt umber and then copper black and I'm gonna get my large flat stiff bristle brush and pick up some of the burnt umber here and some ultramarine blue oh it's gonna be sounds like a weird combination but they make the most beautiful gray works really well and if you go a little bit more blue it'll be a cooler gray or blue leaning and then if you go more with more of the old burnt umber it'll be more of a brownish gray so we're going on the brown side this time so we're gonna add a little bit more of the brown than the blue and I'm mixing a bit of it cuz I want to use it for the entire background here alright that's about right so normally like I would go 5050 on those two colors if I wanted it just evenly gray but there we go that's a really nice see how pretty that is and you can see how I've kind of brushed through it but I haven't fully blended this color in so I mixed up those two colors really well the burnt umber and ultramarine blue to make my gray tone kind of brownish gray tone and then I added grab just a little bit of the unbleached titanium and kind of pulled it off to the one side and just brush through it four times maybe not not a lot because you don't you want this kind of streaks to happen on your palate if you blend it blend it blend it then you're just gonna have a solid gray we don't want that we want these kind of streaky colors so somebody was to know is carbon black it's supposed to be shiny yes it's classy yes if you want more of a matte black but Mars black is more matte so why don't they just have black carbon black and matte black and if you can see that you can see it into the right light right there you can see how that carbon black if I turn it just right it catches a light and this matte black is the Mars black is more matte black but it's got a little bit more about like a almost like a purple or blue tone to it if you see this one it's kind of more of a true gray and then Mars black has maybe more of a little bit of blue leaning though ivory black is kind of more brownish same with bone black so any of those will work so is that short for Matthew sorry what is that short for Matthew what matte black okay Chad noir nobody knows what we're talking about though some people know some people know okay I need more water so that is just since it's not moving at all I just think tells me reading more water you careful when I'm doing this though adding water here because I don't want to mix my colors too much I do want it to skip but I want it to kind of streak too so there we go need to flow if the brush I'm barely touching this because I want these streaks to happen in my thing and I don't worry about my spools I'm just gonna go right over them this colors not gonna cover that transfer did and if I want kind of a line I'm going to use the edge of it it's not very well oh I know why my broke my fans on right so dry stop thank you that papers in the way okay there we go so we want these kind of streaks happening you just did that so you could have an excuse to come over here hey let me help you with that I didn't have my pre-show kiss that's terrible you were all rushing rushing I hate it when I get like that to just I always like get very like tongue-tied went at the very beginning of the video when I'm all kind of flustered that's why I have to get here about an hour beforehand I get here I can't calm down you start thinking about what I'm gonna say and take my time get paints ready the camera angles all set up and just like you know de-stress before get rid of the days whatever I've been doing can I get into work mode but it's like when I don't give me that myself that full hour I just can't get off it's almost it's weird I used to get worse than I am now at least with market and like the war I think he can tell you because I used to used to take me about 10 minutes to even start the videos sometimes so what staring off into dead space what she's saying is that I'm a service animal plus plus special I love a special vist all right so just kind of run in through here and I'm trying to get into all of these little cracks and crevices here trying to make sure that I'm keeping these kind of parallel the ones in the back kind of do swoop down a little bit but I'm not gonna worry about that too much you can see how I went back over with some of the darker color in the areas where I got a little too solid with my wood grain so that's an easy trick to do you go back in with just the edge of my brush and kind of do some lines in there and then wipe it off well that's wet pull those edges out just a little bit and fling them yeah just slightly yeah I think summer has finally decided to arrive in Arkansas here you've had way too nice weather for too long it's gonna make up for I have a little something I just be like some new diffuser and like 99% amenity for the rest of us we had such a nice spring mark and I've gotten spoiled we've been sitting outside working throughout this quarantine zone yep nowhere been nice and dry for sure the humidity has increased dramatically okay so I just gone back and forth I guess different tones here I'm gonna get a little bit more of this slider pillar [Music] okay there we go so you may not have to do it this many times to get this color to come off mine just got a little bit dry on me I'm gonna go ahead and reload and start over so I'm just gonna reload with this darker color which I'm kind of making a little bit lighter and I'm just gonna get a little bit of the dark the lighter color maybe on the corner of the brush so I love it just part of the brush it was that okay yeah he wanted to know where he could get a a key made oh yeah we got him I got all my boys I think it's called hero's armory they they're not a sponsor so you're welcome hero's armory but they make keys that are like video game themed or movie themed so they have Star Wars and Lord of the Rings you have stuff in Sora halo one consensus favorite video game from older you know anything that's legends of Zelda it's pretty sweet looks like a little mini sword you get your house key it's it's a guy gift you know they have I didn't get one for mark no there's no more you didn't walk yeah exactly lightsaber you could have had lightsaber q do you like Star Wars but not as much as the boys do I onion a little bit of black that was the background color I'm just going to use it with the back and you can see these areas where I just got a little too much solid I'm just gonna go back in and do the same thing I've just been doing I'm just kind of used the edge of the brush this time and kind of brush back through there and kind of underneath and beside these spools there's some dark so I don't have to worry about those areas as much I can leave those kind of dark right in there but I'm gonna add dark back to them even I'm getting a little bit more of the unbleached titanium I'm making kind of a lighter gray lighter then up in here this area is a little bit darker than down here and about mmm I guess about just below the quarter moon so here's a halfway and here here's the three I didn't mean quarter Matt three-quarter so here's our three quarter marks on on here if we split our canvas into three parts sideways here so our back line is just between the halfway mark and the 3/4 mark so somewhere in here is gonna be our shadow and I'm going to do it above because I want the light-colored below and I have the light color on my brush so I'm just gonna kind of do a little bit if I could get it in there get a little bit of that light color right there huh and I guess I guess you're seeing a little bit of it right here too I guess I didn't do it right there okay there we go so you can see how we've just kind of made a little bit and I'm gonna go ahead and add a little more of the light color just below so that it registers so for that brush for those of you who are new here math has a different meaning for sure you may learn things here that you didn't learn in school shush shush like two three quarter marks when you divide it by three not sure how that worked but did I say that yes it's it's hard math wants to say so hopefully nobody studying for the SATs using our videos confused or I've had it wrong all easier oh the great thing is is that half your audience just didn't blink they know exactly what I was talking about if you know exactly what you're talking about that on being clusters that's pretty normal heartbeat there you are watching something last night and did this person say that they leave like 10% of their brain for talk for answering questions requests when they're painting yeah was a teacher guy he said well he does plein air and so he's out and people are actually interrupting him while he's painting he's like I believe about 10% of my concentration and brain to answer questions while I'm painting and try to keep the rest focused on what I'm doing that's probably I probably have less than that focused on when I'm not asleep probably well you've given I'm talking so much you know you've got a good portion painting a good portion teaching yeah no there's no for thinking is that what you're saying what room left in your brain for rational thought okay I see very accurate honestly so I can't say been teaching long enough to realize that this entirely true I'll watch back videos sometimes and I'll say the entire wrong word sometimes too and it's just yeah okay so I am going now putting this over the top of my light color and I'm gonna use this glaze I've made a glaze using my glazing medium and black if you don't have glazing medium you can use water just don't use too much water with heavy body acrylics because they can under bind yeah I'm just going to use it right along that line there you want to be able to see your grain the wood through so you want to you're not covering anything you're just adding a shadow see how that did and if you get too much of it on there you can use your paper towel like I can grab it and get grab a wet paper towel and just kind of DAB over it or wipe some of it off blend it in well it's wet you can do a lot of things just make sure that your background is dry before you try to do this otherwise you'll just lift off your background that you've already just taking a lot of time to do ten so it's back here just help reinforce that ledge there hey now now we've got the light hitting the surface that is facing up ordinary shadow some of these dark lines through here and I'm going to use a little bit of it on the side next to my spools here leaving some of the oops leaving some of the course I can say oh great showing there you don't want to cover all the grain so don't do so dark this like you can't see the wood grain underneath so I'm just going you to all these areas where know there's kind of a shadow just putting some of this dinner fillets here and there's a little bit on this side too so I think our our light must be coming from kind of above in this way because it's kind of hitting the shut up back here and there is a little bit of wood grain here I'm just gonna put a tiny bit of that color right in there okay and then what I can do is go back in here I'm gonna grab even some white this time be sure you're spraying your paints every now and then especially we've got our dehumidifier on in the house and it's drying my paints out terribly so need to not do it on the day I'm painting it's not drying out almost immediately as I touch it on the canvas and down here they're drying out fast they're just spraying both in well we got a question okay you're not listening did you hear what I was saying something about a dehumidifier that's not David on the day of the shows Oh cuz it it's making it hard strike I paid to quickly well the air conditioner does same things to me well I know but then both in combined together making it worse what species that missing ask questions Oh what's the difference between glazing medium and slow dry well depends on the closing medium that you're using um most brands have glazing medium don't have a dry slow drying in them so they're just for making your paint transparent Golden's has come up slow dry and glades kind of combo so there I like I like it for that reason but most glazes are dry way too fast like I wouldn't use a regular clays to try to glaze with it's just especially with acrylics I just I don't find them very effective see they just they're I almost as soon as you set it down you don't have any time to kind of blend it back and forth like I do with the the ones that I do with the golden glaze so that's load re you know just kind of what it's saying the thing with this glaze that I like though to and that you might not find with most slow dry extenders is that the slow dry extenders a lot of times will make your paints a little oily and you can only add a certain percentage of them to your paint this you can add as much of this as you want this is basically what your the base of the paint pigment so it's basically kind of the it's it's the acrylic polymer that your looks are made out of so it's just like a clear paint basically it's a career clear acrylic with an extender in it when you're slow dry extenders usually slow dry mediums and extenders are usually not they're usually some sort of other chemical they're not going to be like an acrylic medium base so you have to be careful how much of that you use because you'll texture isn't it'll undermine just like it would with water so just cleaning off my hands here I don't know how I'm so dirty I don't even notice myself doing that that's the funny thing is like when I get done painting these paintings I'll have my hands there's cover with paint I'm like I never know when that happens I never feel it like when it happens I'm always just like so into it I'm I guess that's how it should be though right [Laughter] okay so there we go there's our background I think that'll be good enough I mean if you want to go one step further you could get a liner brush out and do some like you know a little bit more wood grains or like I might now that I'm seeing this maybe get a little bit of black on my liner brush here and just put in some thinner kind of dark areas in some of these sections where the paint got a little thick I don't think that yeah that's this is helping because it kind of got a little solid in some places so it's like a little bit of darker lines through will help that would would affect you can see this one versus this one so you can just kind of running this through and adding some lines in our wood by hand help up here too and the reason I'm using this long this super long liner brush it's just because it holds more paint so I can do longer lines with it that's all it's the only difference between this and like a shorter liner brush you can do the same stuff it's just this one I don't have to reload it as often I can do longer lines with it but these can be harder to control so I wouldn't graduate to the longer script liners maybe until you're comfortable with the shorter ones those are way more easy to control all right there we go no no let's start filling in spools I think I'm going to use actually I think I'm on maybe I'll try this I'm gonna use a little bit of yellow oxide burnt sienna yeah maybe a little bit of the burnt or burnt sienna and oh I said burnt sienna burnt umber man burnt umber yellow oxide a little bit burnt sienna burnt sienna just gives it a little bit of a reddish tint the yellow obviously kind of yellow do so it gives it kind of a warm honey brown color and I'm gonna use that on the inside here where I'm seeing a little bit of light hitting this wood yeah just pull it straight down and leave some of that dark showing I'm gonna do a little bit right here mmm these are all a bit different tones so I'm gonna get a little bit of this unbleached titanium ease it on this one and the grain the wood grain is going this way Inez there went there I'm going to go ahead and use this lighter tone up here - I'm gonna bend in here and then I'm gonna grab my white and mix that in bring you sit right in here kind of a rough these are rough old wood spools so they're not like perfectly um you know manufactured they've got these kind of little rough areas around the holes where they're cut and I'm going to darken that back up but I need that kind of lighter color right there so our grain is going to be going with along this line so you've you see this line here so the spool grain is gonna be following that so I just want to keep all these angles at that sim angle as I go down this fool because the tendency is to want to turn it as you come around the corner but these are things it's laying outside it's kind of even as it goes around that corner you keep that same angle got a question okay person would like to know what is a good mixed-media pad that doesn't work they're all gonna warp a little bit what happens with paper in general even good paper is that the the water expands the fibers in the paper and if part of the papers draw and part of it sweat the wet part is trying to expand and it has no place to go and so it just starts warping the paper and it doesn't matter how good of a paper that you have it's gonna do that a little bit so that's pretty normal what you can do is like spray the back of it with a little bit of water after you're done and then like press it down really good or some people iron them be careful when you do that but you know not too hot that you're gonna have a little bit of warping I like at least a hundred forty pound paper though you do anything less than that is not gonna be good so another forty pound is kind of the minimum I would say this one's ninety pounds and it works fine for me so maybe but 140 pound is what watercolor paper so mixed media paper acrylics you're not using as much water so maybe that's why you can get away with it on here but I wouldn't do necessarily do the watercolor on this kind of paper there's a cellulose you want to do watercolor on the leg up but in person cotton so but I don't know what kind of paint paint you're using on it so yeah and then what approach did you just pick up this one's the number two bright I'm just gonna use it in these smaller areas your cuz I'm gonna round these corners tight larger brush is just too big okay and then that way I can I'm getting a little bit darker color here too so I flipped the letter color on I'm gonna go right along that edge there and do you find that edge a little bit with this brush there was an earlier question regarding the wood grain and they wanted to know what a fan brush helped you could try a fan brush fan brush might be a little bit big is all yes this in this here I'm just kind of dry brushing this so I've got very little paint on my brush and this brush does do just so I could be I could have used this one instead here and this right this edge is just slightly rounded - so can be a little fuzzy it doesn't have to be perfectly smooth but I just want to define these outer edges I kind of left those why couldn't get this brush in here and like that okay so there we go left it would be the dark showing I'm not going to make sure my yellow line is covered so I'm going back over here and just kind of coming back over that line just a little bit anywhere I'm still seeing it and then I'm gonna go ahead and grab some of the darker color and keep it wet get some burnt umber add that to this he unbleached titanium I still got a little bit of that yellow color on pick up a little bit that yellow color to that and this time I'm going to be brushing it this way so this side of it is kind of cut this way so it's going around in a circle then it's actually showing kind of the side grain of it too so there are some lines this way but we're also seeing cut marks in it where it's been cut this way cut off so we're gonna put both in kind of do some streaks this way and then we'll put some of the darker green lines across it where those cut through okay there we go leaving lots of that background color showing through to so that gives us an extra layer of like detail and you know depth so I'm gonna get some of that dark some the black here put some of that back in a little bit solid in this area do you have any tips on how to keep the curves so I'm going to call it accurate yeah you want to look at your overall shape and follow those curves so just like we did with the with this these lines you know following the following though this line here you establish that line and then you just continue it you want to look at your outer shapes here is there any like brush holding tips or anything like that I hold it a little bit far back and when I get around these corners I twist it a little bit you can use it might be easier though to use a round brush for this part you might be able to control the round part of it a little bit better like do it because you don't have to worry about turning the brush so you can hold it in one-one position and not have to twist it at all so probably should be using that because it'd be easier for most people to use it this way but I again like these flat brushes because or you know angle brush or one of those because because it holds more paint so it's just and I can get a good bladed edge with it by using it on this edge so I'm just turning it as I go around the edge here just kind of as I come around the edge I'm I'm using my thumb and pulling it towards myself so I'm getting I'm keeping that flat edge facing me I did a dart a lighter there so you can see what I'm talking about it takes some practice to get get proficient at you know doing that but if you don't if you don't keep it edged that that right there is what happens if if I was not to turn it it would it would do a big flat edge there so if I if I want to keep those lines thin I have to I have to turn the brush I'm just using my thumb there to control that turn and keep the thin the edge then I've made this way to light a bit so here's your spinning the brush yeah finger hand as you come other corners yes and I'm gonna kind of blend this in no because it's not this obvious so I made this a little bit lighter and it needs space I'll probably have to believe that office but just did that so you guys could see what I was doing there in this side here is a little bit lighter as it's coming up to this edge and then it's a little bit darker on its back and here so it's actually not bad you just think it's probably I'm probably just glaze a little bit at the burn time right here right you need this darker color under here anyway so I'm just kind of doing this sort of semi semi glaze here didn't add any glazing medium just doing a thin layer but ultramarine or burnt umber there darken up the bottom edge just a little bit get that lighter color there it kind of starts right about here though so just blend that out and then I'm going to use the letter color right here so right on the inside of where that dark is that's what gonna really make that whole push back get that highlight right here see how that opened up that hole right there dark area and that I'm gonna get the black my glaze and I'm gonna use my round brush for this fairly dark you know I want to glaze back this area so if you got any of the light color in here I want kind of a fairly even shadow right there yeah just make sure that it's kind of dark up here and it kind of does this little sliver kind of pretty even it may be right in here it starts to widen a little bit I can bring a little bit of this light color up I can see I'm it kind of missed the light color sort of coming up and around a little bit right here or you can see inside okay I'm gonna do the dark right here on the outside so kind of emphasize its that make sure I have a little bit of dark right here on the outside of that good one down two to go almost no one two one two three four five six six okay so just running the black hair through and use my finger to kind of wipe it in it's still using this glaze here paste on the inside you can see how what it is that can go like I said just as kind of wet as I need to with the glazing medium since I'm using the this one that's meant to be enough meant to be used for that and then there's all kinds of little pock marks so I think what I'm gonna do is grab my black or grab this glaze with my brush here and I bounced it straight up and down and I'm going to tap it little marks in my spool edge [Music] create some like little imperfections in there and then you can use that get super fancy and you can use the lighter color and find those little pock marks and just make a little highlight on the side that sticking out can kind of soften it up a little bit so it's not super dark this side is getting the light that the bottom part they're dark coloring bond going here now there's a there's a little cut in this one so we can put that in right in here I'm just gonna pick an area where it's already got some dark and just use that just put a little glaze in there to darken that up make a little crack in it and then I didn't do once this is all dry we can do very faint little green lines through they're gonna run they're running this way and very faint like I'm not got mostly glazing medium here you want to run them the way through so just kind of make sure they don't touch that part and then you can make them kind of come up here too if you want just a little bit into this wood okay just using my finger kind of helps blend it in a little bit it's not that's the only reason I'm doing that and then I'm gonna there's certain areas where it's just dark and you're not really seeing them so I want to don't want it to look like weird stripes all the way through them there it's there but it's very like subtle so some place it's a little bit darker than others it's very very minimal I'm gonna maybe kind of go in between here and you had some little highlights just to this front edge here okay I'm gonna just end up the whole time on this one you having so much fun like find any little pockets of color okay stop doing that you know what did we talk about detail I know I know I know mark is like you can't spend too much time on this today cuz you've got a show tomorrow thing exactly got your bonus video to rest up to pitching arm I will okay well this one's no they're all pretty detailed no excuse for my behavior I'm gonna move my brushes that I have not dirtied over to the other sides I know which ones to wash when I'm done haven't used this one yet okay going back to this for that one here go ahead get the unbleached titanium here oh I just got that bottom of it all gummed up with white Pete dumped it put it on my pink right here get some of this color here that we mixed it with all the browns and yellows do it here I've lost this whole line up here way too much moisture on my brush put the I'm pretty bright they're pretty thick and I'm just gonna smush through it and pull it around I didn't add anymore I wiped it all kind of off because I had enough here to kind of do this whole area and this one is pretty bright on this front side I've been watching a lot of watercolor wash videos preparing for my collage debut which is so dumb I have literally done one gouache painting in my entire life I'm gonna be doing it alive on Tuesday so it will not be a gouache tutorial it will be a wash what are we doing with Jews using quash using gouache trying it out practicing with gouache we'll see a trial run of gouache that's what we'll have to have a disclaimer on the video do not necessarily follow any of the techniques that you'll see in this video when it comes to gouache cuz you may or may not work out we're gonna do the same painting in acrylics and in gouache so pretty confident about that acrylics one but the gouache we'll just have to see how it goes squash if you don't know is like an opaque watercolor ish it's different but it's basically in essence it's got a it's different size pigments though so it's not necessarily just just like watercolors with and no pacifier added it's it's a whole different but it uses the same gum arabic or honey or whatever alum binders that a watercolors use depending on the brand Oh it'll be fun well it'll be an adventure that's for sure I'm getting more and more nervous about it the closer we get to it like what was I thinking there I probably should practice it a little bit the one that I did with gosh it's right there see if people think it's okay it's it's okay it's um it's just different like it doesn't you don't you can't glaze with it so that's one thing about gouache that is different like in here when you it reactivates so like when i went to put my dark color in here you can see where it's light right there that's because it picked up the it blends with the background colors so when you try to put light washes over the top it just lifts the color underneath and blends with it which is really nice it's actually pretty cool but yeah we'll get to that next week but it'll be Tuesday night with the hummingbird in acrylics and in gouache so if you've ever wondered it's kind of starting to I don't know maybe it's been for a while I've just started hearing about it more myself maybe I've been it's just what YouTube's suggesting to me all of a sudden but then it seemed like I'm getting hearing more and more about gouache lately so probably late to the party but I'm pretty sure I'm very late to the party honestly I I literally have not done watercolors since college so I'm not a watercolor artist in any shape form I have never taught it so like I said disclaimer it's not I'm learning though I just kind of I don't know what got into me but I think I call it quarantine fever it's just like I just kind of was like I need to learn something new from my brain to not go to a dark place so I decided to pull out the Tison gouache and practice and play with it so you guys get to come along on that journey with me you like it or not sorry I mean they do know they do have the ability to not watch that's Jim we don't recommend it no because then they're not coming cool so okay well I don't know about that but yes they are dear all right well this was just that lighter I grab some burnt sienna and yellow oxide to add the yellow tones to that and now I'm gonna grab some of this unbleached titanium and I'm tapping my brush to open up the bristles a little bit so that I get it can a little bit more texture instead of grabbing this brush I'm just going to use this brush to do this next part yeah I can get a similar texture by just tapping the edge of it and getting it to open those bristles up a little bit I am gonna give it gonna do what we did with that wood background and just run some texture yeah we gotta cool questions right and it's mostly in this front area so hey what's the difference between the flat and a bright brush it's the length of the bristles so the flats shorter or I'm sorry flats longer bright is shorter okay that's all it's different yeah and then the next question is is that they say that they feel like their paint won't stick to the canvas okay they can still see the canvas texture even with the paint on that's must be the kind of paint they're using it's gotta be either that or they using way too much water yeah what kind of paint are they using oh that's serious [Music] I have no clue okay if you want to tell me I could well I don't know I'd say it's probably a cheaper student quality or no bargain acrylic in it those will those will do that hey what oh really okay well then huh okay well I didn't have that issue with mine so with that brand so I would say probably adding a little too much water if it's not sticking to the canvas well because those are already pretty fluid so you won't that brand or cheese or the Artesia acrylics so but and it also depends on the color you using because some colors are innately open transparent so if you're using a transparent color it's not going to cover to the canvas you're gonna have the see-through it doesn't matter what kind of paint you use so just if you're using a transparent color just know that going in and you can tell on the bottle on the tube let me grab one I'll show you the same thing so this Rose is translucent it's got the little square through if you've got a solid square right here that means it's true it's opaque so this will cover your canvas better than this will so if you've got that problem trying to see what you can do is put either another color that's similar underneath the color that you want it to be or you can add white to to this color white will always make your paint more opaque so what you do is you just add white to this color and then paint this color over the top of the white and it'll it'll again like the white mixture so maybe it doesn't take very much white to make it more opaque so you know maybe 1020 percent white to this color paint it on let it dry and then paint this color solid on top and it'll go on a lot better before you know look more solid you get more solid coverage so that's what I would suspect you're doing is using a transparent color and serious you know if your coverage but some brands will you know will be less effective too but that one I did I did a painting using them last month and I'm gonna the one that we're doing on on Tuesday is it gonna be using artis it also and I never I didn't find any issues with them so I would tell you if I did but I don't I didn't so I don't I'm pretty picky about my nicely and I have a another paint company that that has approached me and I haven't gone with them because they didn't like their paint so I'm there you go yeah I'm pretty sure yeah well yeah nice t-shirt or bad paints no joke there's rushes I'm soso t-shirt yeah bad art materials in general just saying oh I love it I just looked at the thing it looks really cool on the screen there mm-hmm don't get so focus on what I'm doing I don't actually stopped it look at it sometimes I just like looking at the details okay I'm gonna go back through here and just do like I did before with this one and just gonna tap in some darker kind of scuff marks and things little imperfections in it in this lighter area especially and then I'm gonna get some of the white right here there's like a little bright part sticking up right there just make sure I've got some dark or some light coming down in here and then I'm going to do just like I did over here get my black and I probably could wait to the very end to do this but I'm just kind of doing each one as I go instead of doing them all at the same time here and go back in here with this black and just add the black right down in that little oh tap it out make sure it's nice and dark right there I like it I'm gonna use a little bit of this color and just kind of glaze along this top edge there just a little bit tiniest a little bit right there just about kind of bumping up that contrast and can you get that dark color I kind of covered up that crack right here so get that dark cut that back here so somebody said earlier that that crack is a cut along that's right you're right this one must have busted out this is probably the cut line on this one it busted off it probably chipped off and yep you're right they didn't have that then you went absolutely nothing these congratulations it's mark Anderson so it's sorry we have we have no prizes [Laughter] if we did you would win so taking a burden that yes thank you no I was yeah I would have occurred to me maybe after the video I've been like oh yeah that's a yeah yeah I have those in all my schools mm-hmm I do actually so so I pulled out my phone machine for the first time and long time and then I was like mark I need to buy a new sewing machine he's like no you don't we we just we touched it for the first time in like 10 15 years now regional it's not been that long whatever and then we take it out in his booth for maybe three four hours oh it was used for about two weeks four and then it's on the counter it's it sat on the laundry table for a few weeks the laundry table being art dining table in our dining room laundry table we have laundry table Oh No well the kids called it that yes we have Thanksgiving dinner at the laundry table about the only time of year we laundry Oh said the truth okay with three boys in it being right outside the laundry room it was a very convenient place to yeah take the dry clothes out and because it it's very long it's a long table you can fold a lot of clothes and then sit there until the next load of laundry ready to wash yes that right which was usually my clothes sitting there because I didn't put yes marks clothes but let's be real here it's it's it's true I do the laundry I don't fold or well no I do I do the laundry of fold the laundry I do not put it away the laundry and I do not iron it you're on your own with those two things so you want it to get to your room you come and get it or you wait until company comes and then and then I tell everybody get your laundry off the table that's about it that's how it goes in our house oh they're lucky that I do it that's all I'm saying thank you they have clean clothes but she doesn't want me to do the laundry because there he's not allowed to touch the laundry I know there's evidently different temperatures and colors to stuff whatever so water has ruined way too many of my closings and he I think he's afraid of it a little bit now he's gotten the wrath of Angela a few too many times after ruining brand-new clothes mm-hmm that he was helping something you this okay listless American girl gels are complicated more complicated than me dead so true I am I like to think I'm low maintenance but I don't think I am the older I get the more I realize I was probably my own like I'd like to think I'm like a low key low maintenance girl but I don't think that's true Mark's like no comment Mike's not working for some reason all right just cleaning off all this I don't get little bits of other paint in my fresh paint I'm mixing up more of that Brown nothing new here just some more that yellow yellow brown brown but soon burnt sienna burnt umber and yellow oxide here just gonna use it again on Norris the next one feller just kind of going through here and getting all these up getting that burnt or that unbleached titanium spray and everything down keeping it wet anytime you're mixing a new color anytime you're flattening out your color like this you're going it's going to dry like three times faster than anything else so you're gonna have to really keep these mixtures wet and while you're working these puddles here the I strategically put them the way that I do I try to dome it up as much as I can like when I put the paint out I don't see how this one kind of flattened out like this if you put your paint out i I just put it out let me do let me do this this color so I would not want to put my paint out I do not do like a small dollop and thin it out like that because that is gonna dry like way before you can use it so I do it straight up and down and just kind of try to dollop it up like that so it's got a little like a dream like a Hershey kiss almost that will give you a little bit more drying time and when I pull that paint off I'll smack that down I leave as much of this undisturbed as I can at while I'm working and then that way the paint the water is that and is not actually keeping this paint necessarily from drying out altogether what it's doing is just kind of keeping everything sort of moist it'll kind of work its way up underneath here and then it's keeping this wet edge moist is what we're doing so this area here is where I'm pulling the paint from and I'm not going to go straight into the middle anytime you do that you're introducing air into your paint I'm gonna just go gonna grab this whole thing cuz it's almost dry but this paint underneath that was set in here there's there's nice fresh paint up underneath here this back side might get a little sick and in my South's realizing well harden and so will thicken dirt anyhow it protects the paint underneath so if you just keep one side wet you know working it and keeping it moist there it'll draw that moisture up in here and I'll protect the paint that's back here and Emily make your give you more working time with these with your paints and so okay that was a long explanation for no but it does it does help a lot of people who burn we're starting out for sure that people wonder how you keep your pain from going get that comment all the time so that's one of the things that I do yeah that's why I'm mentioning it don't bid like a Hershey kiss and then just pull for a little fun from hind side and let it form that that skin on the other side to help protect it yep yes watching a video they were judging up brownies and one person was making caramel uh-huh and you know they just poured the sugar in the pan and they put a little water there doing a wet caramel I guess anyways they said do not stir it which is something that I would have done right and so the same thing here and you put the paint out just don't mess with you don't mess with that back part of it cuz yeah it will it will introduce air and then that's what's drying your paint out so just let it kind of form that protective barrier there it'll you'll have much longer no time to work with it alright getting the white now and I grabbed a little bit more yellow for this I noticed that it had a little bit more of a yellow lighter tone it's okay so it's dry so it's not gonna pull anything off if it's thank you though a little bit there this area's got a lot of the light to color I'm just going to go from there and again just kind of pick it pick a direction it's there's not as much kind of green showing on this one so a little bit flatter there's a little bit of very faint lines don't worry about the dark then values right now we can add those back in when we glaze it so I'm just putting this all in light and that will glaze back over the areas that I want to darken up later it's just a little bit easier way of doing it okay let that set yeah dry look at this one here pretty much same color and it's trying to kind of get it even that I don't mind having a little bit of that texture showing through there so about that too much I'm going to get a little bit of the burnt umber and just gonna add that in right here I'll be adding more of that color later but just gonna kind of start there and then I'm gonna grab burnt umber a little bit of black and then this area down here is dark there's actually I'm gonna go ahead and get some of those lighter colors actually a little bit of that wood grained is a little bit lighter right there so I'm just gonna go ahead and put that outfit lighter right there darken up that get that black and kind of pull it up okay I'll be adding shadows here and you're just kind of bugging me right now cuz I want to go ahead and do it but I'm just gonna wait feel a more efficient about it you get a little bit black with my glaze I almost want to be adding the glaze when I'm doing this I'm not if I don't add the glaze it can under bind in them when I add my next layer of color it will lift off the previous layer just darkening up that little area right there next to the sky shining right now but it's got a little bit of a shadow right there ready guy having kind of darken up this while I've got this black on my brush do it one more time my glaze didn't really die very dark right there a little bit darker with my glazing I'm just kind of use the corner of my brush to sort of run it out just kind of blend it in a little bit is it out a new favorite work I'm getting close how long have I didn't go in an hour and a half already and we have less than one done it's not even one surprise surprise surprise I'm gonna take that I'm gonna just get this green on here I'm going to use a little bit of purple that will make it kind of more of a royal blue and then little bit of brown just to tone it down to a more neutral color I think that'd be good and this is gonna go on this dark color so it's gonna be pretty dark itself but I just want a little green undertone in my shut up areas almost do these Saturday videos just before my bonus video the bonus videos usually take five or six hours on Sundays when I do am i doing once a month and I finish a painting in one setting it's usually a pretty complicated painting and I always picked my Saturday videos the Saturday up the bonus video did like be something super simple and I thought this one would be simple but I'm spending way too much time on it making it super realistic we can simplify it oh me too right there I'm gonna go ahead and do this well this is wet see how it does I get a little bit of filler and some white yeah and my water it down quite a bit cuz you need it watery and I'm gonna get some glaze to add to that water and you're gonna want to follow the curve here so follow that curve look at that this is almost too too thin I think I'm going to use it to kind of start and then I think what I'm gonna do is do it by hand a little too thin my guess it doesn't want bad it's close guess some threads a little thinner than others did it well it was wet because it'll just kind of blend a little bit with that color couldn't give it a little bit softer look you notice she's not breaking any rules by spinning the camera cameras around so there's no rules against that no and that helps you get a better angle on it while you're painting now going for a much lighter color here are my highlights almost white Anna's gonna be right coming right in here just just below center again make sure you're going in the same direction as before all in this curve which brush are you using to do this this is the great good filbert green here thank you just grabbed it started painting with it okay there we go I think I'll leave that I think that's close enough and now it's to why I'm here so we'll we'll glaze it but I think you're not gonna get super fancy with this move on move on okay take your time Jesus I'm somebody once said that something come out tomorrow you can bet your bottom dollar have followed that advice all my life really okay and it's been true every day Oh Andy ah and how many people are seeing that song right now you're welcome you're welcome okay so adding a little bit of yellow to this purple this is doxa seeing purple you're adding this gold you could probably just add the yellow oxide see how it kind of meets it a little bit I'm not wanting to meet it all the way I want it to be a really lovely yeah that's really pretty purple yeah I like that okay so I need the darker version though so I added white to it just to see what it was gonna do I grabbed a little bit and more my purple mix those together [Music] and paint that on this is gonna be almost black purple is one of the darkest it is the darkest of your pigments so you can substitute it for black most cases it's gonna be just as dark and be really pretty put that on there and put on fairly fairly thickly cuz I see I just picked up that all in there put my hand in it I stay away from that green because I put it on fairly thick hair as I'm you know in the outside edges of the thread are not smooth so there's a lot there's a lot of it's like Oh bumpy where that threads coming out so just keep that in mind and I'm doing this before I do this because I'm I know I'm gonna have to go through here and make these lines and it's just be easier if I don't have to worry about painting over that there so yes again finding my curve here all in that curve so I'm not sure how you were able to control yourself earlier today while I was low the yard sexy man on the lower so what you're saying mmm no no you had to look going on you had a very specific look was interesting middle-aged men yes you should have seen it before it well Miska that's gonna sound wrong what so I was warning shorts that's gonna say you should have seen before I was put pants on but the great t-shirt with the green long-sleeve shirt in my black tennis shorts yeah I have the look going yeah you got it going on today but then I put on the pants one don't forget your hat oh yes honey let's draw her yeah because I hit my other hat on but my gosh it was hot you're you're Indiana Jones hat yeah it's leather it is it does really well in keeping the sudden of my hidden ears and stuff but but a good time yeah trying to protect my son myself from all the UV rays there yes good around each okay so uh you know I'm not loving this color it's too purple I want it more of that needed purple um when I see what I want let me try adding brown brown to it grab some burnt umber hair yeah that's closer I think okay this brush really I have way too much paint on here I'll see if it comes off all right yeah it's not you can see how I'm having to do it multiple times that's because my paints too thick that's not I don't like that one see about this color adding it into mix here and it a little bit of burnt sienna you have to let this dry it's just too sticky I waited too long memory mixing the color okay just didn't work out as well as that green one did still not exactly that color I'm looking for it's almost like it's bringing a neutral purpley trying to figure out how to mix that color yeah that's gray way too much purple in it well blow about this dry come back to it let's go ahead and glaze these while that's drying so I'm gonna get my black and some glaze I don't have any left you spit things up good get better you're gonna get a little bit of burnt umber except with my black I'm gonna use it under here just darken up this whole area and then if you get line like that you can just use your finger and clip it off no biggie fairly far them so I'm not shadow there and then adding a little shadow back here on the top are curves around the side same thing here if you haven't already done it right there the more paint you use the darker it'll be so II need work like that wasn't dark enough just grab a little bit more the concentrated paint shut up there and then a nurse through the dark right here where this one is blocking the light [Music] it's more of an optical illusion what people are saying that the weather spool is leaning to the right but it doesn't look it's anything because it's because the dark shadow yeah this end this whole edge is read our shadow right yeah yeah honestly when you need that trace it was hard to even see where that started and because of the angle of the camera the camera is not straight on if I turn it like this it'll look straight it looks angled be cuz it's not just flat to the camera okay yep just look at God just want to make sure mm-hmm all right so let's shade this up here get the lumen that purple and green a little bit of the burnt umber purple green burnt umber you said it's my shadow color on here you have the dark color here I just tapped off the back end here to just take off a little bit of the extra color off here I'm going to I haven't really thin this out too much because I want it pretty dark I'm just gonna tap it through this way darken up that back in the hair and then dark do the same thing here I want to get it nice and thick them yeah it dark there here this end this edge disappears underneath its I need it really dark there we go get some black is it again darken up this area here so I'm just going to use this color on the ground right here here we go where you see how difficult is this painting thangkas well I don't know it's not beginner no it's not beginner but it's not it's not terribly bad I don't think I mean how acute it's 6 or 7 if you draw it yourself it's gonna be hard but if you use the traceable I think you know and follow the lines and pay attention to these angles and stuff I don't think the techniques are particularly hard but it is kind of you're getting into some tight areas here anytime you're doing like these small areas where you having to blend in them that that that increases the difficulty factor quite a bit so yeah it's probably up there would you say I didn't say anything that's a six maybe oh yeah it's not like that yeah we've seen six seven and that is on a scale of one to five sorry no one to a hundred no okay I think that's pretty good good news this thinned out paint to add the make sure I'm kind of following the same ish angles as before cuz this is the same wood all the way through so the grains will be just followed all the way down and this would just must be cut cross grain or something as it's not showing any grain lights at all in there a little bit more black here and do a little bit darker up in here good-o like they look very rustic that's why this that's one of the things that drew me to this one you just that's drawing to a better color but it's still way too purple so we just we'll just have to try this is dry enough so they think let me make a violet I'm wondering if I should start with the violet like more of a pink reddish purple first so go a little bit more the quinacridone magenta here and then brown mm-hmm maybe a little bit of blue the burnt umber and which mean blue is gonna make that grey right so we're just basically adding gray to her purple the more we add the gray or doe get okay you can test the color by just adding a little bit of white to it that's closer I think I think I'm gonna add a little bit more of the blue and burnt umber okay let's try this color and we can use the burnt or the unbleached titanium instead of white to shadow it to the metal introduce some yellow tones because it's a warmer and yellowish white just I'm not doing it burn another probably you start with browning and purple to it okay let's try this color and streaking through that color that I just put down I become that's muted it that did it and then just pull through that unbleached titanium into that when you use a liner brush you have to add a lot of water so that's water and then add some more you want it to be so when you run your brush through you can see the palate through real easily it should be like a milk consistency and then twist it so it comes it's a good point for you and I just roll off the there be water right here doesn't affect your paint adding that glazing medium to keep it moist or to keep it yep make it stick and some of these are criss crossing each other this thread especially it was very like tangled so I'm growing deliberately kind of criss crossing them in the middle here this middle area is really the only part where you're actually kind of seeing the threads the rest of it is kind of well you are a little bit on the sides too but as much I'm gonna go ahead and bring these out though because I'm gonna glaze just like we did with the green with the purple once we get it all on here follow your curves keep an eye on that and they're too much see I keep my eyes on your curves oh my gosh that was that's good see why we ended up together like that [Music] is it hot in here yes I'm taking that out that was not what I wanted to look like so all righty much better this one I get some of that cotton medium color hair it's amazing how dull this color looks get it on here it looks better honey going outside the line with some of these bigger threads here and some of these are this like this one's got one that's coming over and all the way to here I'm just gonna bring it across and out side the border there and probably should have waited till I glazed everything before I did that now I'm thinking Thank You Kara need to do that once with the green over here before this green durai's get some of that green thread [Music] we're gonna darken us up you're not nearly that right like your husband kept [Music] waiting for you said mmm okay getting black hair and just come back over these it's the darker color especially as it comes around here goes underneath darker okay if you kind of have a little bit at the highlight though cuz goodness catching a little bit of light as it's coming up and around but up in the over here it's not it's not white I'm gonna add a little bit or less you can see it I just kind of like seeing that but darken it up as it comes back down here so it's a little softer and then grab that dark color get to the bottom of this so this one has a shadow same thing here just make sure that these have kind of a shadow following them now this is dark dry enough I'm gonna use this did it get some more this one brown here a dark color and over see how that changes the tone of the other colors too and we've got on there I'm gonna use it on its edge here just to run it through the lighter area here the darkest like down here and right up here where that shadow is and then enough stuff here all on this edge yeah so burnt and purple that's pretty much all I needed to do it's pretty close yeah that's the color right there we did it to figure out that color I don't know why it was that hard I don't get making money to make it more purple than it was it's a problem it's really more Brown than for both it's just a little bit burnt umber are already has a little bit of a purple undertone though so it's it's a good one for that just using the wet paper towel and kind of wiping off just on that nipple area leave those highlighted threads and then I'm gonna go back in with my liner and my around there and then the if you want to get super fancy these threads do have like I you can kind of do it sideways like this I don't know kind like we did the Rope you know give it a little texture I mean they do have like a texture showing so I could go back in here with my purple and like mmm not that my dark color if I can get any of it and my shadow cuz it's not really a solid line here really should have put it in kind of more like that kind of put it in dabbed dabbed it on you've got a question about glazing okay is gray to opaque of a color to glaze with and should glazing colors be reserved for transparent colors only yes and yes for the most part yes that's it you want your do you want transparent colors for glazing it'll make it a whole lot more effective clay is you can still glaze with it but it's going to have gonna have white in it you know so unless you're using that super dark gray that we mix with the burnt umber and ultramarine blue you know without without adding white then you could probably use that but it would you know it would be dark so I'm gonna use some of this dark along the side here and add my shadow side of my thread and underneath this one long way up and I just darkened up that one where Criss crosses over and you can see that [Music] you never gonna get some of the lighter green and just kind of use the tip of this brush and just do little diagonal very very thin diagonal lines through just here and there it doesn't have to be error free here and you're done there to be everywhere um that'll make it look more thread like you know these are gonna draw the attention because they're kind of you know sticking out and their focal point ones so it's important to kind of get those right and have and then you can use this color here and just kind of add a few extra detailed ones if I need them that want to add really bright purple right here someone get some white when you add the grab the white and add it back in there it's gonna take forever so just find a new spot here and use what's on your brush cuz I always just keep adding them one more white day you get a ton whole new section color there okay so adding this white here it's gonna do is going to pull the eye forward in these spots this these ones will be close to look closer to us so there and there it's gonna make those threads look like they're open now forward carving along this one to dark green right there I love this part about art like you look at this one and she's like it's full sniffles fools missiles it's pretty fun okay so we got these pretty much done and I'm happy with all of that so we can work on this one now I'm gonna go ahead and put in the gold color I'm gonna get some this quinacridone burnt orange or burnt orange quinacridone nickel özil gold and i need to add white because it's transparent this is what we're talking about with the if i okay so i'll show you the difference if i go in with just this color over this brown well I had it's not a good example I had that color see how transparent it is and it's not going to cover up these areas because it's it's transparent so any of these areas right here where we have that wood grain um it doesn't matter how many coats of this I put on here it's still going to be somewhat transparent so I need to have just a little bit of that white I just added a tiny bit of white to it and now I can cover this whole area with this and I can always make it brighter later I can go back in and add more the for gold but this will make it or for me I suspect that person I was asking before that's what happened with us so they're trying to cover an area with the transparent color it's just not going to happen I'm still following that curve here even though I'm putting this in fairly solid it's not going on solid still getting come lines through it so I'm just gonna follow that curve we had a cold math stone yesterday with our Channel every now and then I just kind of like go and check and just see like what the you know like what our total number of all-time is you know on on I don't I don't know obsessed about numbers but you know every now and then I'm like oh that's kind of cool and we had 25 million views total in our channel like overall videos over nine and a half years we've been making videos I can't believe it's been that long yeah sprinkle so Tom 25 million thank you to those who watched any of our videos and added to that number I'm sure there's several of you that have watched and more than one hopefully hopefully those that are new to our channel will subscribe and come back and watch more I've got over 400 videos so there's a lot to choose from all kinds of different levels this one is one of the more advanced but we've got the ton of beginner ones too so I made a greatest hits it was hopefully everybody knows it's a joke it's not intended to be like these are the greatest videos of all time just like a joke yeah just a silly nod to to uh you know music album thing you know how they do after goes top 25 that go down we did 25 videos some are not as popular as others some I just because I like them so but if you want to check that out that's on my if you just click on my name or my photograph and go to the playlist section on my channel it'll show it'll be probably one of the first ones up there when we just sent it out in our newsletter - and posted all over Facebook so if you're on any of those you probably saw it yesterday being posted everywhere and then tomorrow and then tomorrow is our bonus video for patrons five dollars and up we're gonna be painting what are we painting a garden bridge so no one escapes it'll be really cool hopefully not a Golden Bridge no it's gonna be the Central Park bridge actually no that was from Tuesday night I think I said Golden Bridge and you looked at me like what like no garden bridge no that's right you know I do remember that yeah it's right garden bridge I'm British I'm Markin Reed but check out patreon.com slash angel the fine art there and you can if interested in joining us yeah to dole opal is for the trace of holes going back to February 2017 hmm yes bonus videos are filmed on crowdcast so if you need a crowd cast you may want to join today so that you get that all figured out you have to log into your patreon account so make sure that you're using the same email on crowdcast to try to register for the video that you are using on patreon I think some people who have trouble with that are using different emails like they're going to crowdcast and trying to register with an email that's not linked to that patreon page and that won't work so I'm gonna use this color right back here cuz I kind of stopped these lines before I got to the it's pool right here and I need that contrast right there what do you think in the bonus video is at the $5 level for tomorrow Rhett and that's access to tomorrow's video plus all the previous bonus videos so yeah there's several and then there's a $10 level that's all that plus an additional access to another Facebook group word there's another painting done throughout the blood thing right and you know that when we do one once a week we and we take our time with that I go more in depth in the process like last week we spent the whole the or yesterday we spent the whole day just drawing for the most part and we take our time with the drawing so so for the price about two cups of Starbucks coffee you can get a month's worth in painting and videos and tracer bowls and and that's really only I mean like if you're a beginner you don't need those they're not like you know they're just and if you just want to go and hang out with us in yes by all means but you know the therefore the kind of the person who wants to take the next step and kind of go a little bit deeper then I can get it do you want to pick on YouTube so a little bit more difficult to tutorials and a little bit more hands-on one-on-one time smaller groups you know can you get your answers your questions answered you know if you don't get them answered here whatever um okay so I don't have anymore that color left nice pool color just going back here and bumping up those contrasts here as I go seeing I just deepened up my shadows on all of these too and real quick on that 25 million views you've released a bonus video I Do's yes so that's available also some people were confused they saw a new posting yesterday they weren't sure yes that was an older video that we recorded for a bonus as a bonus video for our patrons year couple two years ago I think maybe and so we just as a as a you know thanks for watching our videos here's a one of our bonus videos you can see kind of what they are chaucer more yeah that one was actually kind of fairly short for a bonus video it wasn't as long as some of them go that I seemed like the longer I do patreon the harder the videos that we challenge and do in our monthly challenge or monthly bonus videos that have been getting last month we did this was here this was our last month bonus video right there five and a half hours something like that that was fun I like that one it's so nice having that filter is it yeah cuz you can have air-conditioning on in the summer home yeah no marks das burning me out in here the studio here's I was turning off the air conditioning just before the show and I'm like don't you have a menopausal woman and you're turning off the air and I'm under all these lights you will hurt you you wanting to be able to live do you want to be hurt is that what you're asking cuz what I'm hearing right now this is situation oh look I gotta go outside for something over in Hammond like making faces like okay this one oh I lost that one something's wrong there he's a little drunk okay so we need to fix him let's see where we're at here the homes fooled you're drunk okay I think you just need to come up in the back [Music] okay I'm stirring it upside down can help too so I can see like that maybe over here it needs to be rounded out a little bit using if I could find some where is it there it is you think some of this brown burnt umber yellow oxide mixture here just up and at the side here it comes out a little bit and then rounds around it should help the look of it too I think it's missing its sides the burnt umber Oh dried out burnt umber one up from the bottom the guy use this down here too and then look right here they're just like a really light turns and then get into the medium color its color the spool is pretty close to the color of the red here and a little bit of burnt umber here just tapping it along that edge [Music] okay not bad and we can add our then doubts stripes through here kind of curved this one white hit there and then add it here in the front white comes and imperfections then get that black my glazing mininum [Music] and I need the start push that that forward and then do it again under here just dark right there it's a very bottom and a little bit okay this one a little bit more that burnt umber I'm just gonna use it along this edge here you sold it with a darker color along the sides here and then I'm gonna grab some of that black and just could be burnt umber two didn't have to be the black just tapping a little bit of a ramble in that shadow just very subtle so don't overdo it and then let's I've got some of the lighter brown in here it's gonna use that to with that black in there and just use it to glaze back in here you can see how then this is I'm just gonna wiggle it around and kind of add it in different place this here 30 up that bull it's got it's not a smooth surface all right I'm pretty close and then there is a pretty dark shadow right here need to add just right up underneath the lip of that white area that's raised up right there just a little bit more glaze right there and I'll probably add some highlights to it to pull out some color but we're close if you need to add some highlights to this [Music] [Music] I don't know I'm doing good I'm watching it videos today I'm watching a video on how to shoes up here boxed brownie mix that's what you're watching right now no that's what I was watching earlier today okay no no like you act like that's like never happened before [Laughter] okay point taken mark started a video during my show the other day is watching go into Facebook okay adding a little golden color and they're like what I just did because I kind of made it solid there's something good thread back through and handsome darker woodgrain in there there we go [Music] yes we've got so much left to do you can get closer then like oh yeah we got that all the symbols to do yeah that was really actually thinking of a conversation on the radio station earlier this week on whether they should do away with the penny oh really it states yeah interesting I've heard that before yeah I heard of a thing I don't know how factual it is but it sounds right for the United States that it actually costs more money to make yeah then the penny is worth yeah I think that's right I've heard that tooth yellow oxide and cadmium yellow medium here [Music] I'm gonna use the straight color here connector tonal cold I'm just adding water a little bit of glazing medium one fairly thick press my brush flat to get it or I can use it here and go over this color can see how pretty that gold is can mean yellow medium is a trend is a opaque color so it's gonna cover pretty well if you were using a yellow that was not opaque a yellow oxide has also a pig so it's also adding to the thickness of the highlight color that I just put on but if you were using a yellow that was not opaque you'd want to add a little bit of white to it on that previous layer there somebody has question okay what does oxide mean in the paint color oxide yes it's the chemical I think oxide is a chemical formula and ochre is the natural mineral so we're actually using a chemical version of Poker here I'm gonna use a little bitty purple or quinacridone magenta added to this I've been watching a lot of watercolor videos to get ready for my debut getting ideas and one of the ones that I watched the other day was the mind of watercolor Channel oh gosh isn't even escapes me right now um I think it's Marc well no I mean by this last name it is so forgettable yes I understand think of it I don't know I might he was my right brain right now but anyhow through the mind of watercolor is this Jim yeah look it up for me um anyhow he he's awesome so feared one and learned watercolor check him out but I probably had a name all wrong subdued go to is about channel and I'll probably say about his name is Steve Luce was so wrong I knew it was wrong mmm think it's mark Steve oh my gosh sorry Steve he's a friend of mine on Facebook too I just talked to him this week so that's how bad I am when I'm in my right brain I'm lucky I remember your name honey anything else our Steve Bethel area she it was talking about how to pick colors to use for like if you want to keep your colors vibrant and you know use a shading find a shading color to keep your colors like rich or you know for watercolors but this worked for acrylics too and he said go on the color wheel or on your palette or whatever and find the next darkest color or it or a dark color that's analogous to over here somewhere I just stood but anyhow you find a color that's similar to it on the color wheel so in this case we got a yellow and the Credo magenta is darker then it yeah there we go thank you we could have used any kind of red we have the quinacridone magenta noir things so if I had like a red orange or red here but you can see how much darker these are then our yellow wheel is really our lightest color anyway so it's coming but it can be hard to mix I find a shadow color for us I usually use burnt sienna which is a brown red which works but if you want to keep it really vibrant like we're doing here I use magenta look how pretty that is as a shadow color and so like on the green we went with like blue and purple and purple is that is the darkest should I use purple a lot to shadow colors because it works well with reds purple is one of my favorite colors to shadow with red so anyhow I thought that was interesting I never really heard of it mentioned that way but he just said you know one of the easiest ways to do is just find a color that's in the same you know analogous to or 3 away from it and then and then pick the one that's the darkest and use that as your shadow color a good tip so thanks to Steve mind of water colors check him out if you're into that he's got a whole things talks about how - he's good basics for water colors I need it badly I don't know anything about him I'm learning a lot yeah thanks mark for the tip hey I get called John all the time so you do like he might as well be called mark everybody go to his channel yeah hello mark don't hey Angela called you mark on her channel do not telling that I would be so embarrassed oh my gosh so yeah that's awful no it's my bright brain speaking I have an excuse I swear I'm lucky if I can remember my own kids names when I'm painting okay so making a light yellow I added a little bit of that highlight are the shadow color to it to tone it a little bit down not so it's not super bright yellow it's not it it's not really yellows that gold color so I'm just gonna add some of these highlights back in your and again kind of like I did in the purple crisscross them just a little bit it's some of these this one oh yeah there is a string I was gonna say this one doesn't have a string coming out but it does how long have we got now two and a half hours alright so there's our little string coming out the side that I don't it actually comes between and hearing goes down there I'm gonna use the darker color just to kind of add some random threads coming off the side here I can I'm gonna shadow this again because I you know I like to this thing coming out keep an eye on your curve here so wanna be and making that curve I am using white hair but you can show you what we're gonna do with it it'll down my part though kind of right in the middle here and I might I can see here I need to add a little more than I like just right in the middle of this guy a little flat so just right there here I [Music] mean with almost white zombies so well if I look at this no no we're gonna glaze over with the gold this is its drawing pretty fast so I'm just gonna go ahead and glaze back over you look how bright that leaves those using that cut transparent glaze over the top of that white really pops that color and then I'm gonna use this darker when it has the perfect yellow purple pink yellow magenta in it magenta it's the color I was going for there I don't know okay let's do so I want to mix more that gray people brush hair grab up pretty good amount of each of these colors just about equal parts maybe a little bit more of the blue than the brown this time trying to keep this pain kind of in a centrally located area too so ever now now I'm going to scoop it up and just redeposit it in a little smaller area so it's not so thinned out okay and then I want I'm gonna grab all of this up because it's got all kinds of colors in it it's not gonna hurt anything yeah that's pretty good and aren't our um this one is getting a lot of yellow tones so I'm gonna get some of the yellow oxide here add it over here I'm gonna use that on the inside of this one fact it's even brighter than that I'm gonna go ahead and maybe get a little bit as gold it's better than that let's see more yellow can it in there nobody gorillas and it's pretty close close to the same color as this here okay and then I'm gonna grab this darker gray and just do this side of it and while it's wet just gonna blend it back I always put the color the new color in a fresh area so putting the coal new color over here and then blending it back into that wet color to blend them together I'm going on fairly thick so it goes on nicely and blends for me if you don't put enough eat down you won't have time to blend it it's one of the nice things about the heavy body at garlic scent I can eat a little bit easier to use and the thinner paints that they blend a little bit better they give you a little bit more to working times okay so then this outer rim and I use this darker color when I am gonna use black - I'm gonna grab that black I'm gonna use the black in places maybe with a little bit of brown so like right up here it's pretty dark I'm gonna go ahead and but then wet my brush off this paint is still a little bit wet so I'm just gonna pull it down into this paint here trying to find if I could add that later when it's good to glaze it - if I needed to but it's it's working okay that yellow was almost dry so it just had a little bit more yellow right there where they meet okay I'm getting the dark brown actually let's get this blackish color for the top of all these threads and things probably need a smaller brush for this part so you might want to switch to a round brush right here for this little rim be easier to control like to live dangerously [Music] hey there you go while that's for sure again Keynesian here now watch out gutter gang jackets on in here you're gonna go rip up the previous Skyrim scare all the neighbors okay all these brushes could have been sitting out of water for well keep them moist until I can dry them I added a little bit of that cold gray gold to my white uh over here the dirty white depends a little bit of the grade see how this goes white most of this off and just kind of dry brush it on here just inside like that hey then I'm going to appear where they're meeting a meeting of the minds this has definitely got a lot of gold in it it's kind of a brassy color so it is I'm gonna go in the opposite direction with the darker color and just kind of push some of that on okay and on the inside of our little dude in here I'm gonna do a few little dimples in my there's like a little something coming from the inside oh I'm just having fun with Mona Oh what are you doing - Mona so she said that she had hurt a noise uh-huh on her back porch uh-huh and it's 11:40 at night there Oh No and so she when big death occur huh and she said that there was a it was a huge cat Ellen again she said probably a making cat because her make a and her neighbor has as female cats and then she corrected male cat and I said well you know those make cats are pretty scary and now somebody's asking what's a make cat tell see what you start I know I just I have to relax a mess of people what yes it's one of your favorite things no learn never to take me serious yes well I learned that and too late in our marriage I think because we admit have the weirdest arguments about the most stupid stuff and then I realized he was just doing it to mess with me you didn't really believe what you were saying you're just like messing with me I don't know how long we've been married before I figured out what you were doing well there I'm to be honest I think I've I haven't really thought about this because I find it interesting how we all do it we all say things but if you really take it literal it makes no sense yes like somebody asked earlier about you how do you get your line so thin is it you know you know the hand pressure or or thin paint and I said well you know it's thin paint right and then they said well it's probably the weight of the hand I said well I don't know how much my hand ways but do you know how much a hen weighs a hen ways yeah I didn't have to know you said that to them no sir so anyways moral of the story is don't listen to me no more Angela's math other than that we kind of know what we're away between the two of us we can figure it out mark can handle the math I'll be nice to you I won't mess with your head oh my gosh I used to get so mad at him when he post stuff in my facebook group because he'd like always post the random stuff most like stuff that people didn't realize he was joking and confused all kinds of people and then we'd have this full thing where couldn't were confused we had rap we call it rap pocalypse and once where he as a joke posted a picture of a dead rat with flowers on its head and said it was gonna be our next bell whole rat painting oh my gosh people left the group because of that he was doing boho girls girls with with flower wreaths in their hair right and marks so we had boho rap oh my goodness it's not like we killed the rat it's like we weren't being cruel to it but apparently we weren't I don't know there was some people that went off on it they weren't happy with you or me see so I apologize okay so yeah I know you're joking but not everybody else does but a lot of people knew I was joking I know but a 99.9 percent knew I agree so it's the point one percent that are the loudest sometimes and that the to get all this paint off my hands because what will happen is I will touch my canvas here and I will end up putting paint or I don't want it transferring it from my hands I still don't know how I got any of that paint on my hands no clue still feel like he's a little bit off not really sure exactly where but I'm not gonna worry about it I think it's up in here I think I don't I mean I said I don't I'm not gonna worry about it but I am worrying about I am I'm worried I'm gonna get a little bit of this gold Brown yellow color here and mix it with my unbleached tattoo you know I think I'm just gonna round it laughs over on this side [Music] trying to see if it's like even on my picture mark slapping at me because I'm turning my head sideways to look at my photograph so you're not using a cold paint are you like cold no okay I tell it you mean no yeah so just something I asked you here doesn't know no but you could if you wanted to it's over I don't really I'm gonna be using it for the hummingbird painting I don't use metallics a lot because what it does he lose your you lose your depth when you use metallics because they are all flat when you look at them in the light they're all just shine you know so if you use them music sparingly I'm gonna paint it normal first and then add the metallics in key areas but not on this one this one's just paint just paint applied in the right you know places with the right color is the gold tone in this one it's making it look cold this one's definitely more silver than this one here so I'm painting around kind of the shiny parts on this one we have for our I don't know how long have I been going three hours already yeah me my tutorials on Saturdays before the bonus video gets so much irritated with something did this last month - yeah well so if we do this right though this one's fun and oh yes I love you right so for sure gonna take my time do it Raven if I take for it tomorrow but from now on you have to clear your paintings with you with me prior to your opponent's videos because you say how long will this take me and I'll be honest with you can't get realize you've done like over 400 videos I and I think one of them may be under an hour okay okay so that's a reality check okay that's on it that's fair that's fair I take that because I'd like your job so much you get lost in it and it'll be hours later yeah and you're like oh wow it's been three hours yes agreed some of us have jobs are like oh it's been three minutes mm-hmm okay mm-hmm true sure I do have the blessing of enjoying what I'm doing and when you paint you do get lost in it and that is one of the things why one of the reasons why it's used for therapy is because it is so it takes you out of your worries and your pain and concerns thank God gave us art because he knew we're gonna need it I think it's a blessing I definitely feel blessed to be able to paint with you guys okay so just adding the highlight here and here kind of across from each other I make this one a little bit brighter right up here close but the air the edges rolled but the highlight doesn't go right up to the edge I used to do that and in decorative painting you'll see that a lot where you'll have a I mean it happens sometimes like here that but when you have to have a rounded object if you've got a straight object you might even see this like here you know you might see this dark or right here like say we've got this cutoff between this color here and the dark hair well here we've got a rounded curve this is not a good example I'm trying to think of where it would be a good example I don't have any straight lines here so I can't really show you what I'm talking about but if you've got two things a meeting where you're you have a cut with like a cut off and you want it to look squared off you'd put that house right on that edge right there and then the dark right here alright with this because it's rounded you're going to have dark down here and your lights not going to hit it - like right here so it's not going to be right on the edge right here if that makes sense so if I wanted to make it look squared off I would put it put my hat in a different place okay I would need to move up okay just gonna take me another half hour to just get back to what I was doing laughing at me just as you talking to yourself I know but hey you cut yourself I did I stopped myself what do you think I woke myself you caught yourself myself I did mm-hmm caught myself going down the rabbit hole okay so I'm gonna put these divots in and I'm not gonna put them in solid they're not too solid on there the highlight is kind of on the bottom half so I'm gonna kind of put the kind of a semi circle almost and then as they go around the side here they start to flatten out and you're only seeing like they're getting closer together and you're seeing them like uh like am oval kind of like this circular from above as it goes around the side or you know what tilted it's oval so these ones on the sides here are just a line and the ones that are facing us fully are circles there's only a few of them that are real really circles there's tumor [Music] just him little bubbles going off [Music] okay something like that i don't know i don't think i got does exactly right place let me see how many I added I might've added next to Row one two three four five one two three four five no I did it right I just need to make these a little bit bigger and they're kind of in between so and they go in on kind of a row so if you kind of look here you shouldn't have them all lined up since okay I'm gonna let that dry and I'm gonna do a little bit more of the brassy gray get a little bit of this yellowish right here got a little bit of that up in here I'm gonna be in and around these I probably should have done this circles first I'm going to do that on this one they work around them use this brush give me some texture it's kind of that all can you hear that or is it you did you hit that thing off yeah [Music] you just turned it on with that air conditioners on or sometimes you and have it on for the neighbors gonna yes I like color here I'm gonna be going back through here and adding my shadows back in so just kind of note that just adding some highlights to that then little there all right I let that set and dry add my it's tip speeds he's in thinned out paint here oh I don't know why I'm not using my zinc white that's why I got it out oh well alright so getting some of this more gray not not as much of the the the yellow that was in this one this one's got more of a silver tone going to you could use a use a dot you know like the back into your brush or something if you wanted to do this part with that I think it wouldn't hurt you still have to go through and add the detail but gonna speed things up maybe a little bit of course I'm not being super careful about these being perfect circle's so if you're worried about that then you can take more time than I am here but they're also gonna be cuff following the curve of the of the thimble so I'm gonna go ahead and put that curve in up here you can see what I'm talking about that's that edge I'm gonna get some enough darker gray here kind of feeling around these with them Grandma blending out that top part there the nice thing is this middle is kind of scratched up and it's not like smooth is smooth so I've got little imperfections in it we can take advantage of and going in and around my little dots that I just did this color it's kind of just just a shade light darker than that light highlight color that's not right on that side but kidnet shado color here let's go ahead and fill in this bottom part with this pretty close to our background color in the darkest areas here might add a little bit of black even I still haven't filled in all my little circles here so all of these are going to line up in the same curve is this so all of these all of these they're all going to follow the same curve and then one more row oops my paint fairly thick here it's allowing me to kind of scribble with it a little bit getting this kind of rough edges that I'm not getting here a little bit softer look okay there we go um let's go and raise the little bit of the yellow and my white mostly white yeah grab moved to the number one brush which I probably should have been using for those anyways get some water I'm gonna glaze I want it pretty bright though so stick with mostly white here and go back in here now with these and yeah a little bit more carefully little highlights to these just one the one side we got a question when you got a moment the person says that they get a brain block when painting metallics that cuz they watch it being done but then they're not able to replicate it do you have any suggestions um-hmm well brain blocks in general just are happening because you're you're allowing your brain to kind of do the do the work so I think one thing that could help is to not to to look at your foot reference photo a lot like like be in constant constant constantly checking and rechecking your reference photo okay so this curve got off right here so it's coming out a little bit farther than I have it because what's happening is you're probably painting you're allowing yourself to paint from memory and instead of painting what's what you're seeing so and that happens when we don't when we you know don't stay in tune with the reference photo absolutely in drawing a lot when people are drawing so um and I was gonna say you know like with drawing you can turn stuff upside down look at it differently you know it's kind of hard when you're doing metallics cuz that's pretty you can't really like trick your brain I was trying to think of a way that you could kind of trick your brain into thinking it's not doing metallics but it's just I think the main thing is gonna be just to kind of discipline yourself to be not to get so focused on what you're painting that there that you're stopping you're not stopping and looking at reference photo frequently you should be looking at your reference photo almost as much as your painting um constantly looking back and forth if you're trying to for realism that is you know if you're just going for you know something that's interpretive then it's you know do whatever you want but okay and then right - I had my ankle off there they're right here really bright I need to I'll I'm gonna glaze these so they still don't look this doesn't look rounded cuz it's is all the same value all the way across here I think the highlight I'm this guy here helping done start define it okay so see right here my tendency would be to continue that highlight all the way around that's how somehow in my brain I'm thinking that it should look but then as soon as I look up in the reference photo I'm like oh wait a minute that does not continue there it actually starts to dark and this aside is dark so even though my brain is telling me you know oh no no no you know like it we want to do it the way we think it should be you just have to kind of stop it yourself from doing that and just look and do what you're seeing don't do what you think it should look like do only what you're seeing now if you get it done and you still don't like it well then you know then that's one thing but you get a contrast what you're seeing and start to really develop that habit of trusting what you're seeing and what when you're when you have a block like that nine times out of ten it's that you're not trusting what you're seeing and you're letting your other you know your brain kick in and do things that are not there you know and so you just got to stop yourself and look and more you know look at your reference frequently so like right here I'm thinking I should continue this gray color in here but this is actually really dark right here in my reference photo so the dots are light but the dark the in-between parts are dark so I need to go back in here and darken up those in-between parts and leave my dots like you know I just have to do what I'm seeing and then you know if I continue to do that and continue to check my references if I was left on my own devices and to just kind of do what I think would look good I probably end up with it looking very flat and not quite realistic I know it would because I haven't painted anything like this before so I really don't know what I'm doing but I'm relying on what kind of my brain is trying to tell me that makes sense to it which is not always the case because you know I don't have a photographic memory for everything you know I have to paint something multiple times before I can paint it for memory I just don't have that ability and most people don't I mean unless you're some sort of artistic savant you are gonna need a good reference photo to be able to paint realistically so all right adding the dark hair around the side other than this is the first time you're painting it and figuring it out right is there reason why you put in the white dots before the background yeah on this one I didn't do the dots and then I was having trouble figuring out where they were so on this one I have the dots already drawn in and so it just helped me do it faster it's about mainly it's just for speed need for speed I just wanted to have to think about it too much I'm gonna do that here so plus I found that it's just it's just as easy to paint around paint around the dots then do because there's there's a lot of there's a lot of shading happening in in the in between the dots they're not solid all the way across so um doing them this way it just adds to that look of that brushed metal mmm I lost my dots that are all the way across then these outer ones I think I don't know what I did yeah there's some here that I missed sorry talking to myself talk amongst yourselves well I'm figuring that out last thing paint it over in mouth so the dots that are along the ridge right here I think one two three four five - six seven eight nine one two three four five six seven eight nine yep okay so there's one during here anything in that darker color and just going in between here cuz there's all kinds of like different reflections that I'm seeing in all these they're not okay so they're not a solid flat color and this one's on top are a little bit tricky because they're rounded so they're not in rows necessarily er doing this round thing for each rows making a circle g-star you know oh my gosh taking forever I should have no nothing Bulls not easy to paint even just thimbles would have been hard oh well do you light now we're not getting our short video today huh I kind of knew that I wasn't taken by surprise really how did you know that and I didn't well you look at all the details and textures and the shapes okay so you get to pick it next time unless you're just gonna do like a white circle and a green blob and orange of love and it's Jan it was gonna take a little while yeah okay but that's okay okay people like it oh good good we have good numbers today or is everybody out doing their yards again we're at 413 right now okay then four hours ago we were know haha hour and a half ago so we were at about in the 550 is 560 so we lost them I think some of them fell asleep and the computers come down they're like ah I could it could be like that I'm not gonna sit for three hours on a on a Saturday I don't blame you it could be like that one vampire on what we do in the shadows oh my gosh I love that show yeah am I the energy vampire where I just drone and drain people's energies by talking about mundane things okay I see I see I'll take that constructive criticism or more than one person has fallen asleep because your voice is so soothing and so level good yeah no I know I have to get those coming to heaven I don't I never know quite what to think of it yeah and we kind of lost the Middle East in Europe it's it's like middle of the night there is probably going to bed okay going off thanks Mona but we though we picked up Australia's and probably pick it up the Far East there we go alright so adding a little green there probably a little more than then is it in the photograph but we'll turn it down later I'm gonna add some down here to the highlight right there I don't know that this is the fun part of painting for me that's a nice start just to kind of start looking real okay oh [Music] I'm gonna get some dark here a little bit bigger brush I can kind of cover up their area going in between here no not gonna be particularly super I'm kind of being careful but if I go over a little bit that's fine she's in the darker color here to kind of fill in all these areas that were brown before how you doing on getting it in there hmm you hanging in there you're closing up shop no I'm going to get a snack see over here I hope you brought enough snacks for today I had part of your u-kiss adela there oh did you good got it got used up all right I am doing these highlights doing streaks up and down leaving these kind of lines and MCAS there in my photo middle I'm gonna use the light color all the way up to here and as it goes around here as it comes around the top of some of these there it's curving down so my highlights kind of curving down in between these ones that are in front here taking my bullet get some more white here I'm gonna it's brushed by too small or too big I'm gonna do it down here I'm gonna do my I liked and then grab my grace hmm see why didn't draw this sorry for you know I usually like to draw them I'm glad that was a good choice because it would added another half-hour easy to this if we draw it and drew drawed it this is my tired brain talking now um features tried to drop what I meant to say hmm that was coming out entirely too far right there and black okay then I need to get my Holland color and here dry brushing along that seam and there's an area right here that's really bright white that's more smooth there's not a straight line it's got kind of a curve there yes you see what I did here this is what you were talking about where your brain kind of does things where it's not that's not there that's not there this is all dark back here I continued that highlight way back over here thinking that that's what it needs to do before I was looking at that so I need to highlight that back this is all dark all in here only starts to have a highlight don't write about there do that you've got to catch yourself when you do stuff like that and you bill I do it all the time [Applause] I did it over here do light does not go that far this side is a lot darker than I have it okay Shane the sides here wait all right did this gonna glaze get my black glaze mmm I think I'm just gonna go ahead and use black for my glaze just thinking I might use a color but I don't think it well so I'm gonna do it right in here wiping that off just get a little bit more on the tip here doing it along the bottom and over a little bit on some of these they're in then glaze right here this whole area is pretty dark get a hard-line leg paddock and just get a little bit of water by my brush clean and just can I use it damp brush and just push it back brush it in so it looks like you know here with the the different shades of gray and black mm-hmm and the layers give it that silvery metallic look right even though there is no metallic paints use its just right that play of value yes really values I the dark and light against each other you know one-dimensional needs help giving that layer is like you would normally see in real life you know right the color changes from the refraction of the light at different angles right yeah you get some not that kind of like what to color a little bit of it in there you're really dark black I don't know for some reason this keeps getting grayed out maybe I'm using too much glaze or something but like right here news people dark-black right underneath that guy right there this whole areas dark there so I really see the back end of that as much well there is actually kind of did the wood a little too dark care noticing just in general but I think it's that making a deal turn the black around my circles here somebody's areas keep an eye on where are you singing it and where you're not so like right up here this whole area here is more highlighted around the divots and there's more shadows inside someone have to add some shadows to these divots [Music] like I'm always apologizing to you for painting so those divots have a double role oh do they yes one is the holes let the finger breathe so that doesn't get all sweaty and wrinkly ah but also helps catched a needle so it doesn't slip according to the interweb in case people are wondering [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] little imperfections in the middle where it was cast there and then think somewhere shine right there getting my highlight color I'm gonna go in the middle of my divots now we had a brighter highlight in the middle of them [Music] it's a moment I've lost their shine altogether Oh some of them I need to need to add heat on the middle and then come around the sides so like some of these where I left that dark I'm gonna go over the top now with the kind of a little bit thinned out version and then the brighter color right in the middle right there not all of them have the circle all the way around them so as they come around the sides here it's kind of fainter and darker that one I got too dark all the way around so I'm just gonna get some black and put in the middle if you need to you could put the dark back in I have the dark and the light to have some contrast maybe can I do just a few I think we're about done maybe hopefully yeah these ones good the highlights kind of on mm-hm middle kind of I don't know how I'm saying anymore [Music] I feel like is not the right curve so this needs to be higher right here this someone came down too low right there to fix that easy to go up and then the highlight part it's down we need to bring it down bring it up are you and there's just like on this side there's just like little nothing you can't really tell what they are just little bits of color or little bits of line upgrade they call kind of blend together little bit back up in you right in side to side and just bring it down just a little bit into the divots cuz they all kind of blend together a little bit through there and then I'm gonna do the same thing with these women this one's our top sides let's [Music] these are these holes you're doing them circles they're not supposed to be circles up there they come around the side of your there all of these are flat in this top part none of em are circles they're all a little flat opals because we're seeing them from the side not seen them from the top and I want someone s you know yellow my gray hair shiny objects pick up the colors around them so just want to have some of the yellow some of them would color this fool so this one right there is pool color or some yeah but yeah there's just a little bit of kind of a ghost of that cold in here I'm just gonna come up wash it in over my dark area their feet kind of a blur my shadow area there can you use a little bit of it in my it's really good as fancy as you want to hear I'm getting nitpicky those no stuck period second but glazing this really good way of adding some these colors back in that you're seeing what you don't want to change your total you know you don't want to paint over everything so my glazing you could kind of leave what's already there and just add it into color here and they're gonna use a little bit of this in here yellow thanks come gold yeah and then me and my shadows back in to the simple divots in this guy black glaze [Music] the insides of these are shadowed opposite the highlight some of them Kyle does have a outlines so wouldn't outline them all but he doing them doing good how are you doing moms don't you twenty minutes twenty my Ordnung tha might surprise you another my light we need to bring them high up here a little bit I think see anything I missed you guys usually see things that I don't want baked in so speak now or forever hold your peace using the white hair Denis add a little bit to highlight some of these areas of course it's not pure white because it's got all consetta colors in it wow that turned out really nice and like my PETA stick got about halfway through my name there I was like nope just sticking weird wasn't blowing off the brush Oh [Music] mmm if you're having trouble with your signature and you can see what happened there if if I didn't know that it was just my paint I might have pressed down a little harder to try to get that paint to come off my brush and then it really would have been a mess is it what have added pressure and then I brush my paint my my signature would get really thick and heavy so a lot of times I think people are just not adding enough water to their paint when they're doing mind work like that on here and so I think to go back to an earlier question about painting thin lines it may be good practice just to practice your signature yeah yeah needs you know once you get that down with the amount right amount of water and paint ratio and pressure then you'll have it down to paint thin lines in your painting hey good idea thank you so I want everybody after class your homework is to paint your name 1000 times ha ha ha we need to see it turned in I guarantee you if you do that you're gonna improve real fast yep just like you know like Michael Jordan and others they would after practice they would stay behind and they would shoot another two three four hundred free-throws and stuff because they just kept practicing and just made sure it was like second nature to them hmm and that's what separates the the Jordans from the rest of the league yeah and that's why I don't play basketball [Laughter] if you want to improve you know you have to practice that's just fine simple fact I'm gonna get them dark I'm gonna go between all these with dark no it's the only way around it you can't watch as many videos as you want but if you're not actually doing it it's not it's not gonna help you when I watched a video the other day and the guy said it was talking about drawing how improve your drawing or how to improve his art you know and he said that the guy he was working for was a really famous artist that was known for doing like dog and something I don't know anyhow he basically he had kind of picked one thing and excelled at it you know and he was like you know if you want to improve because he was like I he did music and he did sculpture and he did this and he did that and there's been you know there's all kinds of studies out there it's a common you know fact that if you want to excel it's something you can't you've got to focus on just that one thing you can't you can be you can be a 1% and do ten things at 1% and do them 1% well or you can do one thing 10 times and do it 10 times better you know so that makes I don't know if I mean that made sense but you know so you want to improve your line work do it like Mark said you know do it to the nth degree do it and do it again and then do it again some more he said that the guy the guy that he worked for you know he said pick one thing stop doing 20 things halfway decent pick the one thing that you want to do draw just that and only that for like a month or whatever and a lot of times you are going to do better if you don't if you have a if you have your subject already picked because half the battle is to pick something to paint like ninety you know a lot of times is just to kind of pick a subject so if you already know I'm gonna and I did that unknowingly not knowing that that was a good practice I just thought it was weird but I painted nests I must have painted how many nests did I paint I don't know maybe over I know it was over 100 probably close to 200 nests within the span of like two three years it's almost all I painted and that was just before I started on YouTube and what was the first painting I ever put on YouTube that dissipated and that was friend that was right when I started teaching I was teaching more and I was getting bored with painting nests somewhat but I was still enjoying it I don't know something about their pet ative nests of the lines and colors and everything really appealed to me so I just did it and then the eggs themselves required a lot of glazing and blending and so it was just a really good like one to do I guess I don't know and I was just going from going from decorative painting which is kind of a whole different bird to the this kind of painting you know the fine art painting on canvas after years of just doing wood paintings and stuff and canvasses feels very very different if you've ever painted on wood and go to canvas it's very wood is super smooth compared to canvas so it was very there was quite a challenge and so you know by doing that by kind of just limiting myself the way I did and I did not like I said I did not do it because I somebody told me to do it I just did it instinctively because that was what I wanted to do and it sold and so I was like okay I'll just keep paying them until it stopped selling yeah yeah you sold one too is is that the one that you sold to the to that executive in New York or something oh no that one was a fruit painting but I sold one I I have one in a governor's calendar yeah that's right that's right we went to the governor's mansion I was pretty for that that was fun and then I sold one once one hangs one of the nest paintings hang and he went the Rockefeller Cancer Center in Little Rock so I sold one to them when they were just building it they they were control up two bids for Arkansas artists you had to submit your paintings and stuff and they picked paintings to hang in there from and I've gotten contacted from a lot of people that go there for treatment that say they really like that one it's called promise so it's just a nest with a few eggs yes and these have to should there be more shadow under the right symbol this one probably well probably the problem is that I've made my background too dark already I didn't leave my session to put my shadow until after I painted the thimbles because there is a shadow in there and I don't have any contrast me do a little bit of the lighter color in here but the problem is you're not seeing any contrast that's the thing it's all dark it's dark it's part of these dark as it can get right there already but I just need a little contrast up to it so that you can see that it's dark right there it's all it needed better all right so I probably could yeah I do need to rest up I'm gonna I'm gonna put a little bit more black right there I can see where it's maybe a little gray get the true black I'm just gonna put it right up against it with the true black a little bit on the symbol itself too and this symbol here I'm gonna get a little bit of the lighter a little bit lighter gray and just kind of so you find that bottom edge of it a little bit better yeah that goes into that shadow I could probably do better Lee isn't you know if I spend another half hour on them but I'm gonna call it quits for Mark's sanity and mine if you do a little bit of dark hair some of these again anytime you do some highlights or something and you they're just too you know too harsh then just go back in with some glaze enough I'll soften them up really easy way of yeah I like this one better than this one I like the opening of this one I don't like the divots and this one I didn't really take my time well I'm gonna do I need to it's me I gonna fix these I just think I'll misshapen now it looks like it's not tilted either I think we got the color spot-on I'm really happy with the colors I'm gonna call it good alright thanks for watching today and if you want to you're gonna paint along with me here and want to share it with me I've got links all down the description for that
