How To Paint A HEART With Tissue Paper Texture

Hello YouTubers of the universe Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. I have been down with some kind of ick Yes, that is a medical term. Today, we are going to be painting this puppy Just in time for Valentine's Day How convenient? Now, we're going to be painting this heart over a already textured background We've textured it with tissue paper. If you need to learn how to Texture a background with tissue paper, click on this video right here Get your paints out, turn on some good music So Let's get going Okay, jumping right in. We're going to first get some water and put it on the part We're going to paint the heart first, and I'm just putting a coat of bright crimson red right down there on the entire heart Love the vibrancy Then I'm going to take some purple And I'm going to put it on the left side blending it into the heart Then I'm going to kind of do a border around the entire heart But I want the left side to be a little bit darker to give the appearance of a shadow And you'll be able to see as we go on that I Add More layers as we go because the acrylic, which is what we're using here, the acrylic paint will get darker as it dries so If it gets too dark, which it did for me, you brighten it up a little bit later. Now, I'm going to take some now Washing my brush off. I'm going to take some white and I'm going to brighten up that Right side of The heart a little bit blended into that red, and I got some purple Accentuating those edges of the heart again because I really want that heart to pop off of the paper or of the canvas So emphasizing that. Now, I'm dragging some of the paint along the Ridges that are formed by the tissue paper Okay, now that dried so I'm going to do around the heart. Oh, no I'm taking some red, doing some more layers inside because I want it just to be vibrant and bright I don't want it so dark and now I will be doing around the heart. So getting it wet like we did with the heart and I'm going to just take some green and some blue, bright green and Bright light blue and just put it in random places on the canvas Making that heart just pop out a little more. I love it. I may have used a little too much water here That's something I would have changed the second time. Adding some blue, but I wanted it to be extremely thin so that the texture of the tissue paper would pop out So there's not a whole lot of rhyme or reason to where I'm putting the paint here I'm just putting it where I think it would be pretty And blending it in so there's no visible lines Okay, now I've got some purple, the same purple we used in the heart and I'm putting it in some spots just around the heart I want it I'm putting it right there on the right side because I want it to kind of look like a drop shadow in the end Okay, now I want to really emphasize the Roundness of the heart. So I'm taking some white where I did the first time But I'm just brightening it up a little bit more and then I'll blend it into some red around that white just makes that heart kind of pop off the page and Just nice and round. I'm putting some bright red on the left-hand side also just to make it a little brighter and Now I'm thinking what am I going to do next? Now I'm going to get some of the same purple on the side of my brush Not necessarily the tip. It's on the side and I'm just gonna rub the side of the brush along the ridges and the texture of the tissue paper and you can notice that I'm not My brush is not pointed straight down at the paper because I don't want the tip Rubbing the paper. I want our rubbing the canvas. I want the Flat side of the brush rubbing it. So I'm just gonna do this along all of the tissue paper and you can see it just creates a lot of depth and a beautiful effect if you want you can use different colors, but I just use purple and then and then Now I'm gonna do the same thing inside of the heart with the ridges I did this before but then I kind of covered it up and so I'm gonna Emphasize the texture by rubbing the flat edge of my brush with purple on it over those ridges. Now, I'm going around the edges of the heart and I'm putting a line of The purple and then I'm going to kind of dab and brush it in toward the center so that it blends in it doesn't just look like a Solid line. It kind of gives it just added extra depth and this heart is round and big and beautiful. Now, I'm adding a string so I'm just Painting a line straight up. You'll notice that I'm dabbing and that's because with the texture of the tissue paper It's harder just to paint a straight line. Now, I'm doing a bow Same technique, nothing fancy just a solid line I'll do kind of like a curly and Tie the same thing to the other side I wanted this one to be a little bit bigger because I didn't want it to be perfectly symmetrical And that's totally a preference thing which everything is Okay, now I'm going to take the same purple and I'm going to create a vignette or a dark around the edges And so I'm just brushing and dabbing in toward the center of the painting not too far Like you can see just on the edges and you can make this as thick or thin as you want Just just gives it that extra depth So I do this along the whole all of the edges on the corners I kind of like to put a little bit one side to the other and There it is. We are done. I hope you guys enjoyed this.
