 Hi guys, I'm here. I was having network issues This morning But I think I got it fixed. We'll see how long the broadcast laughs anyway Let me turn off like all the you know devices like my phone so we don't get like things ringing and all of that kind of stuff I Had to reboot my computer to get it to work. So anyway, there you have it. All right, so Before we get started on painting some nudes and In this kind of fashion and this sample that I did that I posted to the internet last night This is just done on it like a watercolor paper that I was doing tests for colors I'm gonna be creating a new palette of paint so I was kind of testing out some samples of what I might want to buy and so We're gonna work on painting some nudes in this particular style Don't freak out if you don't know how to draw figures and And obviously as you can see she doesn't have a face. So don't worry about the face. All right, and yes, she's naked But you know, we all came into this world that way. We're all probably leaving this world that way So, you know, I You know, I know Mike this is in honor and support of Mike deacon Aaron from imperfect impulses and is it Paul Browning was the other one Who did their Little YouTube hop where they all did journal Pages featuring new flak over it, especially Mike. This is in support of them. I've done nudes on my channel before So if you think I have not then you'd be wrong This video is not monetized because I Always worry about when I do nudes about it not being advertiser friendly So I don't normally monetize videos where I do a nude so this one's not monetized and I always put a warning There's a big warning in the title. So if you have children in the room and This is not the kind of thing you want them to see then you should probably have them leave and watch a different broadcast Okay, so all the warnings have said I'm not gonna aside. I'm not gonna say them again. So anyway, I did this One sample yesterday on this like I said scratch people piece of paper good for Clive. I didn't see It but good for him. Good for him. I this isn't supportive all those out Artists out there that are doing nudes and getting crap because that's just ridiculous Y'all need to put on your big girl or boy panties and grow up I mean, you know, but this is YouTube even my happy mail video. I posted last week got a thumbs down I don't know how a happy mail video gets the thumbs down, but you know People are crazy and hello gale eve Ian Lisa Kathy Lisa swank and Lisa low Kathy Thank you all for patiently waiting for me this morning while I was having network issues and Wanda. Hello I was having network issues and I had to actually restart the computer because it wasn't working So I don't I don't know I so anyway, so we're gonna practice these. I'm gonna show you of course some tips and tricks Now I will tell you the other question I was getting was about the Prima paints that I posted last night and and you know what? These are the Prima paints now these I don't think I used any of the I take that back. I use some of the pastels in here I do have the pastel. I just added them to my palette and I Like them now the Prima paints are a little bit more opaque Then what I would like if I was necessarily doing something for sale, but by the same token they're Very affordable paints so you kind of be feel more free because you don't feel like you're wasting them to Experiment and do these little like quick studies with them Whereas if you have a fine expensive artist quality paint, then maybe you wouldn't feel so open to do Experimental paintings with them because you feel like you're wasting the paint so the Prima paints are very nicely pigmented They don't granulate as nicely as a Daniel Smith, but that being said they're nicely pigmented. They flow really well I like the color selection. I have the classics Tropicals decadent pies and pastel dreams I'm probably not going to add any of their other collections to my Prima palette because number one my palettes full and number two I Want to add a Daniel Smith metallic palette to my collection and for that reason I don't think I need The Prima metallics at least at this time. Of course, I leave myself open to change my mind because you know So anyway, all right, let's let's get started now. I have in the description Verbotin yeah, Wanda you would think and my husband's of German heritage So verboten is the word that comes to mind right for me and and yes You would think that in America that you know The naked form is verboten and like that's just ridiculous And welcome Victor. All right, so here is our sample. We're gonna set this aside somewhere I don't know up here. Um, I think I do have my big palette out. I mean my Journal out but it takes up a lot of room and I'm thinking I just want to work on paper this morning So I think we're gonna do that. Hey Eileen Now I've created a Pinterest board which I have put the link in The description which is a specific Pinterest board that I pin images to sometimes their paintings are drawing sometimes photographs poses of Naked people or mostly naked people or you know, that sort of thing that I I use for inspiration to create drawings of paintings from And so I've included some of those things for you guys. I do have You know, I save these things So this is like my figures book that I've saved over the years and there's things from magazines Altered images of my own face. There is a number of websites on the internet You can buy poses from one of them is called virtual pose Dot-com and they're nude most I think they have clothes and nude But they do have nude poses and I've taken a number of kind of drawing classes And so I have number of you know, naked people in my book And this is the one I did That I used for inspiration for this pose So today we have these two that I actually printed from Pinterest last night And I'm going to use them as inspiration for some new paintings Experimental paintings still debating if I should really do these in my journal because I'm trying to fill this up See how far we you know, we're pretty close to the end Yeah, let's just let's just do that. Let's just do them in here All right, that means I got to clean off the desk All right Before we get I haven't laminated my new color key yet, so I'm gonna put that like kind of far away and then spray my paint My water has ox gall in it and that helps in the aid in their rewetting and flow of any watercolor paint. I Have noticed that The cream is kind of dry out fast, so you have to kind of be close by with the water Yeah, there is a couple of life drawing Channels here on YouTube and they're fabulous and I forgot to link them in the description below But I will I don't think I did so but I will try to do that. I am going to try to find There it is Okay No worries Gail You can always message me later or watch the broadcast later All right, so this is transfer paper now if you have old-fashioned Carbon paper that will work if you don't Thanks Victor So if you don't have either transfer paper or carbon paper for this next step, that's okay Print your inspiration photo and turn it over to the back side and take a pencil and just rub the pencil all over the back of the print Until you have it pretty well covered Okay, I Have this trans. This is a deco art transfer paper a marijuana transfer paper. We'll use it. I actually haven't used it yet I usually use old-fashioned carbon paper When I do this step I use old-fashioned carbon paper. I don't always do this step This is a really big sheet or Two two sheets looks like it might be two sheets. Nope one big giant sheet So I'm gonna lay it face down on my page Okay, we're gonna do the woman first Because I'm more familiar. Oh, I take that back Let's do the guy first Okay So we are going to just This is a great way to do it. If like me You are always worried about getting the even though you want to do a suggestive nude you're worried about getting the proportions, right? This is a great step to take so I'm gonna just take my pencil and I'm going to just trace around I'm not gonna do all of his figure, but as you can see here That helps you get the proportions down. So you're less likely to Create a painting and have it be off look off and not know exactly why it's off As you get better at drawing then you have to do let you can do less of this and you can just sketch it out But if you're unfamiliar with figure drawing tracing the basic shape on here It's a great shortcut and I love a good shortcut. I need a clipboard Do I have one of those? There we go, so I'm gonna take my clipboard and I'm going to clip my photo to it and I'm gonna lean it up off camera up against my pen cabinets Just like that Uh Let's see Well, I love my pre miss Kathy. Um, they are something that will stay in my permanent collection They're fun paints to have the colors are a little different than my other paints. So I love that and I They're nice quality. I wish we had some light fastness information on them, which I don't have I Frequently use them when I'm not painting on camera in conjunction with the Daniel Smith and Schmincke paints again If you create something you like and that you love and you're not sure of the light fastness of the medium that you use to create it With whether it's a pencil a pen a paint scan it. It's 21st century scan it scan it scan it Thanks for keeping the comments at bay Teresa And no life drawing models are usually real people that kind of makes them more challenging Of course, you notice I picked a suggestive expressive photo of a young man and he's very nice looking. Let's just say um Yeah, so baking liner paper Is a good too. I think in I think here we call it parchment paper. I'm just catching up on The comments and yeah, I loved Mike's page I loved all the pages I love Mike's page Okay So the first thing I'm gonna do is obviously I have a very expressive style, right? Y'all know that by now So we're gonna keep it loose the sketchy and I like the idea of On the original where we had kind of the paint swatches in the background And because they were metallic they kind of added a metallic you can't see on camera But there's a little bit of a metallic sheen to her And so the first thing we're gonna do is we are going to get Things around I'm gonna take a large flat brush and this is a one and a half inch flat. It's a master's touch brush It's not expensive And I'm going to just get the page wet Your pencil or carbon paper Tracing paper it shouldn't move around too much. So I wouldn't be too concerned about that and then I'm going to take My round brush and I'm going to take one of my pastel colors. I'm gonna take the yellow Find a clean space on my palette there isn't too many of those And I'm going to make it a little bit watery and we're gonna do this And we're gonna just give it some splatters And I'm gonna do the same thing with a little bit of orange. I'm gonna add some orange to it I'm gonna add one of the darker oranges. That didn't quite make it orange enough. There we go. That's better The pastels are nice. They're very beautiful colors. I'm very pleased with the addition of them to my palette It's nice to have the lighter shades without having to really water down the darker ones or add Chinese white to them or something So now I want to actually not have these background dots Move too much. So what we're going to do is dry them if you're going to try one of these little if if you're going to try one of these little studies and You want to try it on something besides watercolor paper. You can totally do that and Just make sure that you coat it with clear gesso or clear watercolor ground first because Your drawing papers your book texts and most of your other papers will not hold up to the watercolor or the too much of the water very well Um Without the addition of the gesso Victor's hilarious today. You guys are all funny. I'm glad you're having fun with this This is the you know art should be fun whether you're painting a nude or you're painting an apple. It should still be fun And these are print. These are the prima paints Kathy these are the three I have numbers one through 48 I did notice when I bought the pastel dream set that now the colors have names I wish the first three sets had names I'd write them on my color key before I laminate it, but I can't find the names for the colors So I may continue to look today. I don't know I might not We'll find out what kind of mood I'm in I'm gonna start with the flat brush This is a Princeton select half-inch flat No, I didn't it's on there. It's just you know, not as Enormous as the one in Mike's page All right, so that I'm gonna start with lightest to darkest right that's how you start with your pasta with your watercolors And I you know, I don't I prefer to paint faces and figures in non-traditional colors So I'm not gonna stop doing that now And I'm gonna start with the lightest yellow, which is from the pastel dream set and I'm going to use the picture that I Printed as inspiration and I'm gonna put this yellow into the parts of the photo that I see have the lightest Colors and we're we're painting what we see not what we think we see and I love this particular image because it reminds me of some things like that Jean Haynes would do where you know It's not a complete image, but there's enough of it painted that You get the idea of what it is which I love I love that Yeah, so the pastel dreams has names and numbers, but the first three sets don't have that I'm thinking about writing to Prima and seeing if they've changed that with the new packaging and if I if they have can I find out what those names are? Okay, so I'm gonna continue with the white flat brush which I have Less control over which is the point Hey, Lori Okay, so we're gonna continue to go cooler We've used yellow which in my palette or any almost any palette yellow is gonna be your warmest color So we're gonna go towards the cooler spectrum. I'm gonna go with orange This is still in the pastel dreams set and it's gonna blend with the wet Yellow paint and that's fine. I'm not gonna go too far before I go back in with some water and Maybe move the pigment around a little bit if I've got too harsh and harsh of a line that I'm not happy with I really thought a lot about when I was adding to the primas when I saw that they were coming out with more Paints I thought a lot about which set would really work With all of the other paints I have not just the Prima paints so you know if You're like me, which you most of you probably are at this point and your collection of art supplies is growing It get does get to the point where you know We don't need to hoard everything on the planet and when new things come out just because they new things come out Doesn't mean we need to have them and if we do have them Will they really a add something to what we already have? Okay, so now we're gonna continue towards the cooler I'm gonna and I'm staying with the pastel set for the moment This is what color is this? This is color number 39, which they call crimson, which is a dark pink And again, I'm not gonna go too far before I come back with some water and Get rid of any harsh lines. I don't like Blend out the pigment if it goes is not going where I want it to and you know, you also can go really in With your the one thing I like about the Prima's is they lift nicely. So if you get too much in there, you can get in there with a Rag or a tissue and you can do some lifting That's what we're supposed to call it. Anyway, right lifting see if I can start suggesting some nipples here Yes, I said the word nipples. Oh my goodness Now with men whether you're doing a matte male body or a face, you know, they're heart Harsher lines there, you know, generally speaking Well, you know less curved Start to Put some of the groin area in and I have the picture right here and really when you're doing this you're really You're really looking at The photo inspiration photo for for you know shading and light We're not really looking to copy the photo and I'll answer that glazing question in just a minute. I Did see it Yeah, okay Kathy we're all hoarders so no worries he asked a glazing question, let's see I don't know what smogs treasure is Eve. I'm not sure I missed something there because I was painting It can because they lift a lot easier than some of the other paints It can make it harder to Do lots of glazing, you know layers on top of each other I kind of like the challenge in that And I frequently like to mix them up with Other paints like the Daniel Smith and things that don't you know lift as easily I like to just see what happens in experiment and Ian I would never spend that much in a paintbrush holy cow. You can buy a shmink a palette for that So this is the inspiration photo and it's one of the one of the ones pinned to my Pinterest board On Pinterest right now if you go. Oh we froze Thank you And so this is on my Pinterest board the link is in the description below and so if you go there you'll find this Okay, so I don't know my my yeah, I don't know the computer says we're still broadcasting. I'm gonna go with that my iPads like I don't know what my iPad is doing Okay, now we're back. I don't know all right We're gonna continue to work our way towards the cooler end of the spectrum and I'm going to Make sure I keep it loose and smudgy. I don't want to Hey Patricia Okay, so let's let's keep going here. I've lost track there seems just one of those days where you have like technical issues So I'm sticking with The pastels for the moment and We are adding our cooler colors into our Figure here. I'm looking at my photo for inspiration for where they should be Yeah, that's I have a sixty five dollar brush FIL brush which works great, but honestly I almost never use it because it's so darn expensive Okay, so I like that. Let's keep going. So we're gonna keep going cooler and You want to try to have your colors be ones that blend well without making too much mud That's like the only trick to this So I'm going to choose a blue Which if it mixes with the pink it will make purple and if it mixes with the green the yellow make green, right? I'm just trying to decide if I want to do the pastel dreams purple. Let's try it I might not like it well Patricia, I'm having network issues this morning and Although I'm broadcasting fine right now. My iPad is having connection issues. So So, you know, you're not the only one You know, I live in the heart of Silicon Valley and I'm supposed to have high-speed internet But I don't have high speed internet. It's a load of crap Alrighty so we're gonna add this I'm not so sure this purple color is exactly what I wanted But I'm gonna add it anyway Now that I started I want to add it to a few places Before I stop and just keep working your way down the color spectrum Darker and darker Hey, Kyla, and you know if you guys have time You know, let's go over to Mike deacons broadcast and or Aaron Paul And Clive since I understood he understand he did a nude to show them some love Let's make the haters go away. You know, it's just the human form for God's sake. We've all got one So I like that and I actually like the marks. It's not bad. I like the marks the brush made there I do want to keep adding more colors to it I think I want to dry this before we add more colors to it Drying it keeps the blending with the previous layers at a minimum And because I'm on because I have no it's not just cuz I'm on camera I was gonna tell you guys cuz I'm on camera. I use this thing. That's not true It's cuz I have no patience. I have the patience of a nap. So yeah And as long as you guys want to stick with me this morning, we are going to do a female nude first Also on the other page. So keeping it loose like this is suggestive Eliminates the stress that you might give yourself from feeling like you have to create a perfect Representation and anatomically speaking of a new Mike deacon Aaron from imperfect impulses Paul Browning all the links to the original nude our journal hop are in Mike deacon's Description so if you go to Mike's video, you'll find the other two and then Clive From Clive five art. I understand also recently did a nude and all of the guys that are artists here on YouTube especially are doing nudes right now and You know, God love them because it's so brave because you know you all know because most of you are youtubers that there's a lot of trolls out there and especially First of all for male artists to begin with they get a lot of flak because they're male artists So let's show them awesome love and and support their channels and I think they all did a great job So I'm I dried this a little bit and I like that I'm thinking I want to add a little bit of Okay, so I have a warm and a cool colored pencil I've got a sharpie pen, which is not going to move if you get it wet and I've got A pilot varsity pen, which will move, right? I think I want to add some of these to our figure and we're gonna add the warm one first and I'm just I'm literally I'm just scribbling on the page, right? Okay, and then the cool one this these are both Coynore magic pencils and I just have one that's like yellow and Orange and red and then this one is blue and red and purple, okay? Yeah, I do have the patience of an at I really I really do So now I'm going to just take this is the pilot varsity pen You all know this is one of my favorite pens and it's going to bleed and run as soon as I get it wet So I'm gonna put it and it's a cool color So I'm gonna put it in just a few places few key places We're gonna take our small round brush and We're gonna go in and it's gonna look at that Now the pilot varsity pen will also lift it won't lift as much as the paint, but it will lift and Just like with the paint. I want to get the pen a little bit wet I want to move the pigment from the pen around I want it continually to help continue to help me suggest the shapes of our figure By the ink from the pen and the lines Yeah, okay The alien. All right, so now we're gonna go in with we're gonna continue to Get cooler and darker Cooler doesn't necessarily mean darker though I'm gonna go in with a blue I'm gonna use the Prima number 36 Which is a really bright kind of oh? You guys can see it. It's kind of a bright blue green And I'm not gonna go too far again until before I get my Water back in here and I move my pigment around so that it goes where I want it to and That if I've gotten too much in here, I can lift it up Like right there. I gave him a lot of armpit here Clive's channel is Clive five art, so I'm just looking at our inspiration photo And I'm just making some of the shadows darker where they're darker in the photo It really is helpful sometimes when you're doing this to print your original photo in black and white that way You're not distracted by the original colors of the photo. Oh, thanks Kathy. Are you the one that just called him an alien? I've actually only done naked men a few times Um always from a photo before anybody asks. Oh, thanks Teresa Okay, so we're gonna continue to work our way darker So now I'm gonna I'm gonna actually come in with a dark violet and one of the things I like about the Prima pelt They have a couple of really dark purples one of them is number 20 Which is this really dark dark dark violet, which is violet is a great shadow color He does have a belly button in the picture. I haven't painted in too busy painting is his willy And you know, I try to keep it clean on you on YouTube cuz you know, I That's just how I roll, but if you have met me in real life, I'm not nearly as clean in my language Those of you those of you who know me in real life know this is true Okay, so the one thing I want to start doing now is Darkening up a little bit of the background around him. I'm gonna Actually use Let's see. No, we're no worries anybody for cracking jokes. I'm right there with you. I'm a big Trashy romance novel fan, so There's not much you could say and my dad's a former firefighter and so yeah There's not a lot you guys can say that's gonna surprise me and Kathy I'm not sure what you're referring to because I've been painting and I'm too busy looking at you know Our Q young man here, and I've forgotten to pay attention to the news feed, so I'm going in here with this dark blue It's not quite a pain's break gray, but it is dark and I'm gonna come in. I'm actually gonna move my How it a little bit because I want to turn the book and I'm gonna Come in And I'm gonna put a little bit around him and that actually I'm gonna use the flat brush And then I'm gonna put some water and just have it blend out to the background There you go, and that just really starts to make him pop out From the background and the nice thing about doing this to and having Him sort of be suggestive and blend into a dark background is if parts of your lines or proportions aren't exactly right Then you can kind of camouflage that fact By making the background around him darker, right? So he's I like the way he's turned out I'm gonna leave it Thank you so much Patricia Well, you can ask again Kathy Yeah, and live life drawing is is very challenging. All right, so now we're gonna I really like the way he turned out, but I want to protect him. So we're gonna cover him with some of the deli papers No, it's just because I just did a female the other day. It's no for no other reason All right, so now we're gonna come over here And I'm gonna move things around a little bit so I can get to stuff We have our photo here And so this is a painting by somebody that I find very inspiring I love her shape and pose and proportion. So again, I'm gonna lean her up in the back here and this time we're gonna Do so you could do it the same way you could start the same way With the carbon paper if that's if you're not familiar with doing with sketching Figures you can do that. You could do paint over collage. So you could collage her down Let her dry cover her with Clear gesso or watercolor ground and then paint over it. You could totally do any of those things. We're gonna try Sketching and so I'm going to just this is an HB pencil And I'm going to use the photo as inspiration to try to Try to sketch her out here The screen has frozen for me a couple of times and but the chat keeps going and then it comes back. So I don't know what's going on with that, but it's happened to me So if it's happening to you guys Try refreshing What I can tell you is that the live broadcast on the desktop behind me is working fine Yeah, it's always better to have a reference photo if Nothing else like I said so that you can Have something that you're working on the shadows and light from and I'm not worried about all the extra sketchy lines I Like that look of the extra sketchy lines plus if you're working with these like prima paints there more opaque then some of the other paints so They actually cover up some of these extra lines You could erase if you get too many lines you can't erase them. I mean There's no law that says you can't Erasers around here somewhere, you know, I never have erasers where I need them Well, here we go and somebody said they like my bracelet. Thank you. I got it on Amazon Here goes the dog because you know, so I find it challenging to do my figures and non-traditional colors I think it's more interesting and I Enjoy the process Plus, you know, I take some of the stress off of myself from feeling like I have to Try and you know match certain skin tones or Something like that. So I I prefer it. You won't all some of you are not gonna like it. So For me, it's just more fun Once you get your sketch To a place that you like it then then you can move on to the next step and I'm almost there with her her basic I think basic form is pretty good Our dog is a mixed breed. He is Pitbull German Shepherd and we think maybe Mastiff He's old but very protective. Okay, so now I'm gonna go in with the Sharpie pen and I'm going to Highlight some of those lines that I've created that I like The Sharpie pen is not gonna move Remember, we're keeping it loose and sketchy, right? so This is not about creating a perfect face or anything like that This is about creating an interesting piece of art this suggests a nude figure and you notice she's tilted I did that by accident. I because I probably cuz I'm right-handed, but that's okay. I like it I'm gonna take my Pilot varsity pen Remember this one bleeds so when I get it wet, it's going to bleed. Okay. I'm gonna take my warm Color pencil Yeah, we've had a couple of German shepherds and I really like the breed I grew up with lots of German shepherds around my mom's a breeder and Yeah, they're very loyal dogs. He's very protective There's probably somebody out in the front yard, which is why he's barking because that's what he does and then the cool pencil oops now I'm gonna start to use the cool pencil to Indicate my shadows or suggest my shadows The pens these colored pencils are not water soluble. So wherever I lay down this color is gonna stay I'll see you later Victor. Alright, so now we're gonna go in and we are gonna do some splatters again So I'm gonna take that warm orangey yellow color that we used before and we're going to Just do this then I'm gonna come in with we're gonna say it with the same color and Using my inspiration photo I'm going to follow the highlights in the photo where the light is hitting her in The photo might be the gardeners next door. He really hates those guys Okay, and I'm not gonna go too far Before I come back with some water And just the whole thing about this is just be loose and suggestive No matter what you're painting. Maybe you decide you just are not ready for nudes yet. That's okay even if you're doing Apples just be loose and suggestive and have fun with the process It should be about having fun. Oh, sorry Wanda. Bye. I'll see you later. I lean have a good day He's not wrong Rembrandt's they don't call him a master for no reason Okay, so now I'm gonna come in with some orange Which is a little bit cooler, right and my pilot varsity pens are gonna blend with some of the paint when it gets wet and One of the things I like about watercolor is working with those unexpected moments There's just something about that that I find very appealing. You mean Renoir. I Don't think that's how you say is pronounce his name spell his name But that might be who you mean iron Ian. Sorry See I don't multitask. Well, I do know how to say Ian's name But I'm painting see my mind is on the painting Someday, maybe I'll have a big enough YouTube channel to have somebody help me with your guys questions when I'm broadcasting That's not happening anytime soon Now, of course when you're doing this, it's always in my opinion better to work from a photograph then a Painting, but you can like we're working. We've worked from two paintings. You can do it I Think it's better to work from a photograph if you can get a good photograph But short of going to some unsavory sites on the internet Finding a good photograph can be difficult. Let's see. We're gonna continue to follow her figure around and At our other shade She's looking pretty good. So now we're gonna go in with the pink. We're gonna do the same steps. We did on that male nude Renoir. Yeah, that's it. I'm this is a webcam I use a lot of logitech webcam. This is a logitech HD webcam And I use the Google Hangout option for broadcasting live on YouTube I don't use any what is it encode encoders or anything Yeah, um virtual pose comm is a really great source But if you guys have other sources Let's let's list them if you want to list them in the Facebook group you can do that you can of course list them here if you want and Yeah, I hear the gardeners next door and Let's give everybody some options of where to find You know good portraiture to do this kind of drawing from you know, you have paint my photo And they have figures on there. I didn't see a lot of nudes. I did look I looked last week when I decided that we were Gonna do this But yeah, if you guys have some great sites for doing for getting the inspiration photos Which is half the battle to be honest then yeah, let's share them So this is the pastel set Yeah, I think it's the C9 20 in I'm pretty sure that's the one that it is and This is this color is the crimson when they call it crimson, but in my mind. It's more of a pink or rose color I don't know Their names are kind of funny You can share the links here or you can private message me here on YouTube And I will put them in the description below plus I will probably also put them over in Facebook Just FYI You'll you'll have to type it out. You won't actually be able to put a link. You'll have to type it out like the words Because I don't think it's gonna let you guys put a link because you're not admins Okay, so I'm just I'm following just like with a guy. I'm just following around Painting what I see not what I think I see I'm not going into too much detail. We're gonna work our way cooler Which doesn't necessarily mean darker and this is the what colors this this is called lilac rain Just like with the first three sets of Prima watercolors. I am pretty impressed by this new set They're nice and affordable and they're decently pigmented for the price. I did of course take mine out of the original box and put them in a Larger Metal box, but the metal box they come in is nice. It's a nice quality metal box And I use them for other paints, so I'm gonna start to add a little bit of The purple around the outside of her Lots of people don't do Facebook Don't be afraid that you guys Can't get ahold of me or send me links or ask me questions because you don't do Facebook remember that my email address is in every description and You can always private message me here on YouTube Okay, so now we're gonna go in with our blue Yeah, don't feel like you guys can't get ahold of me because you don't do Facebook or something. That's you know That's ridiculous There's a lot of other ways to get hold of me and my my email address is in the description of every single video on my channel Along with my snail mail address Or slash PO box, so there's always a way to get ahold of me and you can private message on Facebook So she kind of looked like she had a little bit of a bouffant going on and I wasn't okay with that. So Lifted I think you have to go to my channel page and like click about or something. It's you have to go to the main channel page It's somewhere on the main channel page So we're gonna continue to go around our figure with our cooler and cooler colors highlighting her features including her hoo-ha And I'm not keeping as much of an eye on the comments And questions as I am today and I apologize for that probably because I'm having a lot of fun painting Let's see, please Kathy. I do always respond to you guys. I try to respond in a very nice timely manner That's only that's only fair you guys spend time emailing me or messaging me So I'm using up all the blue that I have here. That's okay She kind of looked like she has like a football shoulder going on here So when we do the back dark background, we're gonna have to fix that the shoulder right here is too big So but I'll show you how to fix that. Okay. We're gonna go in with that dark purple again Just working our way darker and darker Start with your lightest colors work your way darker Yeah, he's not gonna stop barking until the gardeners go away. I Think it's something about the buzzing of their equipment So the thing that I like about the Prima paints is they re-wet really well And if you have some that's almost dry, but it's in the wrong spot You can just put some water in there and lift it move it around and they do it very well Not all paints do that some of some of them stain a lot more than others and The Prima paints don't really do that which I love I kind of like that Yeah, I love purple who doesn't need more purple So this is an enamel box from Jackson's art out of the UK if you Google Jackson's art You will find them. They have the best prices Including shipping on these kind of things You have to just trust me on that You can get the half pans from them and a lot of other stuff but I Almost always get my large boxes from them I did buy the first couple of them that I got from Schminke from they were Schminke boxes from Daniel Smith Not from Dan. Sorry from Dick Blick But they're expensive and then I found Jackson's art. Okay, so I'm distracted by this football shoulder Going on over here. So we're let's go in with some of that dark. Let's see. What was that color 35? See if we can get with winter rid of some of that football player padding that's going on in her shoulder I'm gonna switch to the flat brush. I think it might be easier Yeah, they I like the fact now not all some of my favorite paints don't do this And they don't rip rewet well, but these actually do so I think that's something to their advantage Again I need to move this because I need to I need to turn my book But I think it's a I think it's a great thing that they do that's better So darkening up the edges and having the edges of your figure blend into the background Makes your figure not only more suggestive, but it really disguises any mistakes you might have Now I just told you one of my tricks. I Use it on my Buddhas all the time They'll notice most of my Buddhas have dark backgrounds if you've looked up my Buddha faces Yeah, some some you know, I love the Mission Gold watercolors. They're fabulous. Don't get me wrong I love them and I have them in my collection. They'll probably always be in my collection, but they stain They're very bright and they stain So for that reason I You know depending on what I'm working on if I'm doing an experiment like this where I'm really trying something And I'm not sure about the composition or colors I'll frequently use something more like the primas where I can really move the paint around more To work out any issues I might have With a composition. Oh winds are in Newton Yeah, um, you forgot about which video Kathy Smith. Oh You just joined you forgot about the video. I'm sorry. There's a couple Kathy's a couple Lisa's in the broadcast I'm getting you all confused Yeah, I love Jackson's art and they frequently have really good sales on things So I'll see you later Lori. So if I'm if I need to order a Empty metal box. I usually try to see if there's something else I could pad the order with shipping is very affordable and I don't have to do that, but I like to do that so Okay, so we are going to do a couple things here. I'm gonna do something. I don't normally do I don't normally add black But we're gonna add some black I'm gonna just mix it with a little bit of the blue that's down here on my palette Okay, I'm not gonna go very far with the black before I come back with my water and thank you Wanda. I saw that so This is very expressive and suggestive it's not Realistic by any stretch, but it's fun So, you know the important thing is I want you guys to have fun doing this kind of thing again Whether you're painting figures or you're painting apples Just have fun with the process That's what it's all about And you know the darker that you get the shadows the more she's gonna start to pop out In a good way Whether you're doing a male or a female figure Whether they're news nude or clothed You know, you know, there's something if you're not up to doing a nude do that would do one clothed And I'm gonna stop there because I like the way she looks So here we go. I'm gonna move my watercolor palette so that we can See the two figures side by side I'll see you later Wanda This recording will be on YouTube later if you guys want to review it I hope you got some hints about what you guys can do And You know support all of those other artists that including Mike and all of the guys in his description below Clive who's done a nude and and you know support the artists on YouTube in general You know, there's enough trolls out there. We don't need to add to the bunch. Bye Kathy. See you later I really like the way he turned out. I haven't done a lot of men in the you know Women most of the time when you take a class you're doing female nudes. I don't know why that is but You don't do lots of men I think he turned out really great and I'm gonna be going back and looking at some of those websites before I close out my message my window here on The iPad so and I'll try to make a list of Sites for you guys where you can get inspiration photos but definitely go look at my Pinterest board and if you find any other good sites you can private message me or email me and Yeah, just give it a try and you don't have to you know, like I said no a lot about drying use some carbon paper Use some transfer paper. They're kind of abstract expressive portraits. They're not realistic. That's not what I do I never ever like when I do anything semi-realistic as animals. It's not usually people and Even those are not not so much and when I do maybe an eyeball like that's you know, I Love this kind of painting whether I'm doing it in a watercolor or acrylic And we will be doing a nude figure in acrylic. We'll be doing the same sort of thing in acrylic Probably I'll use one of the same two poses I use today. I have another ugly canvas that Needs to be reworked so But I love these and they're they're fun little experiments You can just do them in a journal or you can do little cards and then you know cut it out cut it apart use it in your planner Just do little studies Does anybody have any questions? Expressive they're very yeah, but I like that style. I'm a big fan of Gene Haynes Pauline Agnew Melinda Kootzona all of whom are Sort of expressive Abstract artists and I'm big fans of their work And I'm a student of at least two of them. Well, no, actually all three of them. I take that back So I love the new premium paints to answer everybody's question from earlier love them They're coming out with one more that's not out yet, which is the metallic set and They're a nice affordable purchase for watercolors Yeah, so I'm going to try to make a list But yeah, if you guys have really good sites that you know that you like that have good poses then Send me the link and we'll create a list and I will We I will make a list over in the Facebook group and for those of you who are not on Facebook If you'd like a copy of the said list you can email me and I'll email it to you after I get it created You're welcome. And yeah, the new pastel the bottom row is the new pastel set This is all of the ones that I have and it was a nice addition to the colors I already had so I was I was happy for to add that to my collection and It doesn't I don't have anything like these in the other paints that I own. So it was nice addition You're welcome. Everybody. Don't forget the most important thing and I can't even say that now There's a few things. So first of all, I want y'all to have fun Whether you're painting a nude or you're painting an apple have fun with it Don't get so wound up in how it's supposed to look if you want to paint an apple, but you want to do it purple Do it have fun with the process throw all the wood rules out the window We're mixed media artists. That means there's no rules. So you just have fun with that and you create paintings that you like Yes Don't forget to do something nice for yourself because you deserve it Maybe think about doing a little extra something for somebody else because maybe they need a boost too All right, that's it for today everybody.
