寬鬆的冬季水彩畫花卉

Hey everyone, welcome back to another video So if you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that A few months back, I painted this anemone Loose bouquet type thing And I thought I'd try and recreate it today But using red anemones to make it a bit more festive So let's jump right into the video and start Okay, so to start, I'm just gonna go through my materials I am using my Etcher Lab Cold Press Watercolor Sketchbook My Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors in my palette My Princeton Snap Brush in a size 12 and 6 round Water paper towel, and we're ready to go Okay, so the trick with this loose painting Is really kind of working on the contrast of light values and dark values So more pigmented petals And then some that are more watery That are gonna be nice and transparent It just kind of makes it flow and pop a lot more Instead of just having like really dark flowers everywhere Or really pigmented flowers Okay, so I'm gonna start off with this cadmium red No, this isn't cadmium red This is Winsor Red Cadmium Red Deep is a good option If you're using cotton colors Just a nice bright red Okay, so we're just taking a lot of pigment on our brush And we're gonna start off with an anemone petal Okay, so pointy end towards the middle And we're just gonna come up Like a rough kind of teardrop shape Upside down like that So this is really pigmented as you can see Then I'm going to take my brush And I'm gonna put it in my water And run it against the side to take some of that pigment off To make it waterier, lighter And we're gonna do another one right beside it So it's gonna be lighter And then you're gonna have it touch So you get kind of like a bleed So see it's lighter Actually even more pigment off To make this petal lighter And you get this nice kind of bleed into this light See this little light area I'm gonna take even more pigment off Just by running it in my water Do the same thing on this side Touch it a little bit So you get that nice kind of color bleed So you have some dark petals and some light petals I'm just gonna do the rest of these petals lighter Just moving that pigment around From that, like all that pigment Is coming from that one dark petal basically Okay Just kind of fluffy petals Going around like that Okay and if you wanted to grab some more pigment And you know tap it towards the inside You could definitely do that too Okay so let's do another one I'm gonna do one over here So you can take more pigment again Start with a more pigmented petal You just really want to make it nice and loose Okay This one's gonna be more of a side angle We're gonna have petals curved that way Do a lighter one here Grab a little bit more pigment And then like a scoop for a flatter petal on the side Okay Like so Let's do another one down here We're gonna kind of go in like a zigzaggy shape So I'm gonna do a petal up here It's gonna be more pigmented It's gonna touch that light pigmented one Okay and I just keep adding kind of water to my brush Gonna have like a flatter petal on this side So with a different perspective Grab more pigment So changing up the contrast of the petals Just makes it a little bit more interesting to look at Okay now before we start doing any more flowers I'm gonna add some greenery So just gonna mix all the greens that I have in here I'm gonna grab some sap green And I'm gonna just start doing some petals or leaves So they can kind of run into and bleed with some of these Petals while they're still wet Okay So just touching them slightly And having that color bleed into the red and the petals Okay, but you're pulling the leaves away Okay, so it's gonna drag that color out Rather than the green coming into the petal And then having a big splotch of green there You're dragging that petal out So the green kind of comes away from the petal You'll get a color bleed But it won't be ending up in the red flower Okay, let's just start with this Just because I want a couple color bleeds And you can even do some like little kind of jagged Rough greenery coming from it Because anemones have those little kind of spiky bits underneath Just like that Okay, let's do some more And I'm thinking maybe we'll do small one up here Small one up here Staying with our diagonal kind of theme So this one you're just gonna see kind of maybe a little bit of it Three little petals like that Okay, and then this one up here We'll do flat petal there Long petal on this side We're just really making it nice and loose Petal there, long petal there Maybe even a light small one here You can barely see it because it's so light Just like little petal shapes Doesn't even have to really be a flower Okay, and then actually let's make one more down here I'm gonna have it facing like pointing down So I'm gonna do our flat petal like that Make sure it's in frame Yes, okay, good So when you're doing loose florals There's not like you can't really go wrong, okay So don't be hard on yourself If it doesn't look exactly like this or whatever Just try to fit in that contrast of the light and the dark petals Okay, it's a loose floral piece But it's these bits like this light and dark contrast That are really gonna make it pop Okay, let's get our green again Do a little bit more greenery Okay, so as you see it's kind of on a diagonal here, right I think I'm gonna put a bigger leaf stem coming down this way like that Okay, so now I think we should do some, you know, pine greenery Maybe we should do some pine cones Yeah, let's give it a try Okay, so I'm gonna take some burnt umber Kind of just making this up as we go along Okay, so I'm gonna take some burnt umber A lighter wash and I'm just gonna do Kind of like these upside down teardrop shapes Really loose Okay, leaving some white space in between Just using that shape of my brush To get these like teardrop shapes So if I'm going this way I'm gonna put it upside down So you have a little point coming in You could always turn your paper if you need to Leave some white space in between there Okay, maybe another one little one here You're just kind of dabbing your brush And it should be kind of like in a little like teardrop shape itself, right Let's do another one down here like that Okay, I'm gonna get a bit more pigment A bit darker brown here I'm just gonna tap some of the areas To again get a little bit of that dark and light contrast So that first burnt umber that you're using Is a light wash And now we're going back in with a little bit of darker pigment Just to get a bit of contrast like that Okay, I'm gonna do a little bit poking out over here Okay, there we go Now let's change up our green with some Maybe darker green leaves So I'm gonna take my perlene green here Which is a nice rich dark green You could use poker's green and purple Or whatever green you have in purple And I'm just gonna do some darker bigger leaves Okay, just fill it in some of the white spots You think it could be used You know I can blend in with some of the pine cones if you want And then with this I'm gonna take off a lot of that pigment I'm gonna do some really light colored ones And then more pigmented ones Just gently kind of touching some of them Okay, and then you're gonna again Gonna get that contrast Okay, so let's do a more pigmented one Okay, gonna wash off some of that Get a little bit of water And do a light one Just have those little color bleeds Okay, now I say we do some pine So I'm gonna start off with some burnt umber for the stem And I'm just gonna go and do some stems Or like some evergreen needles, whatever You could do some berries too if you want Gonna grab some green You can use light, dark, medium Whatever color you want And you're just gonna do some festive pine needles Coming off of those stems Okay And you can just add it wherever you think would look good And then I think last but not least Before we do the centers of the flowers Maybe some like little mistletoe berries So let's get this like light grayish white And then I'm just gonna do some Color So I just like a really light wash of gray or blue And we'll do some little like berries Like this I know you can barely see them We're gonna add some greenery after So just a very, very light blue Using more water than paint Okay, then let's grab some sap green And we can just connect some of those berries And have some little leaves coming off of them if you want I don't know if that even makes a difference You don't have to do this part Don't know if I like it But it's done, we did it Okay, and there we go Let's make sure the centers of our flowers are dry And now we're gonna take some Payne's gray Or whatever color you want for the centers And you're just gonna do in the center of the flowers A little circle, kind of like that And then you're gonna do these tiny little lines coming out And then at the end of the lines You're gonna do little dots Now depending on the way they're facing So this one is facing this way You're not gonna see the little lines on the side You're just gonna see some dots Okay, just has to do with the perspective So this one, do your circle It's pointing that way You're gonna see lines at the top here Where the longer petals are And little dots like that Again like that And this one is kind of like a top-down view So you can do the lines all around Little dots One more thing, I'm just looking at it And thinking maybe I could add some darker smaller leaves Just for a contrast and shape too So I'm just gonna take some of that dark green And I think I'm gonna just do some Little lines like this And then some little, little leaves like that So lines just using the tip of my brush To do little buds on these leaves Just for a difference in size Okay, like that And there you go There is your loose floral holiday piece Thank you all so much for watching my video I really hope you liked it And I hope you learned something Don't forget to
