 to the 30 paintings in 30 days project. So every day of this month, at least 30 days of this month, we are going to create a little painting a day and we're going to see what happens. I'm an experiment mostly with watercolor and gouache and let's get to painting and I will see you at the end. Hey guys, we are here for painting number 10 on our 30 paintings in 30 days project and if you're finding this talking part of the video and I'm listed on youtube and it is on listed on youtube and if you're finding it and you're not in patreon not sure how you did that but welcome. Leave some questions comments or concerns you might have in the description in the comments below and if you would like to join patreon it is in the video description. Alright so these are just little studying paintings we're doing trying to do 30 paintings in 30 days and I don't know how far we'll get but we'll see. I am I've got my homemade sort of inspiration palette book here one of a few of them that I have open to a page I currently find interesting I'm using it for inspiration for color and composition not necessarily looking to paint anything one realistic or two exactly like one of the photos shown although I have taken most of the photos myself in this book. Okay we're going to start with a one inch blah blah blah a half inch flat this is a Princeton Neptune uh half inch flat Princeton Neptune is my favorite brush I'm going to grab some sepia I'm not going to clean my palette this time I'm going to just mix the sepia with I've got some green here on the palette I'm just going to mix it around see what comes up add some water a nice swatch wait my brush off so it's just damp and that will allow me to lift up some of the color put some texture in there but it won't remove it completely and do that again these are little study paintings so they could be studies in composition where you're just trying to figure out composition of a bigger piece or maybe a commission painting I do sometimes I whole notebook of little studies drawing and painting studies for clients when I'm doing client work sometimes they're just practice for getting back into the habit of working with a particular medium or you know I want to try a new technique and this is great for all of those so I am just using I got paint where I didn't want it oops that happens sometimes and this color is probably going to stain so let's see I don't think it's going to come up usually watercolor stains I got to find a dry spot my rag is really wet yeah that's okay again these are little studies so it's all right I'm going to go back in again I'm just using what's on my palette sort of inspired by the colors I see in the inspiration photos which were for the most part I believe taken at the Aaron Space Museum here in Oregon where I live and or at the beach back when we could still do those things so they're pictures of rusty metal and unusual bits so we're just going to use them as inspiration to create something abstract but interesting I actually kind of like where this is going I'm surprised but it's good okay I'm going to give that a dry and we're going to take a round brush before we we get the painting any darker we're going to take our ultramarine turquoise here and I'm going to just mix it with what's on the palette I'm not even sure can you see that let's see there we go and I'm going to clean the brush off in my disgustingly filthy water and I'm going to add just a little bit of buff titanium to that and it'll lighten it up it'll also make it a bit more opaque there's all these bits of like rusty tarnished metal in these pictures in fact one of the pictures is actually the bottom of a rocket it might be the Russian one that they had at the museum that had all these sort of turquoise colored metal bits on it which I found interesting okay well those are still wet we're going to go in with the turquoise and just the tip of the brush here just straight out of the pan again as before as stated before in other of these little study tutorials I'm barely touching the paintbrush to the paper I one of the things I love about watercolor is the fact that it really has a mind of its own and you're really working with the unexpected for the most part that lots of the colors especially the way I use them are fairly transparent so you can always see the marks and things underneath I love that I love all of that about watercolor I also love how portable it is okay so we are going to dry that we're going to stick with our round brush and I'm going to pull out some neutral tint I'm going to again I'm just mixing it mixing it with whatever's on here which will lighten it up a bit and make it a little bit more on the reddish and turquoise side which is fine I'm going to add some dark bits between my dots in the white space I'm not going to worry too much about covering up all the white space again we're being suggested right I am again as said before barely touching my brush to the paper so some in my opinion about being successful with paint is learning how to control your brush you will notice I hold it fairly far down too I am not one that can generally hold it way back at the end like this I really sort of hold it more like a pencil in my opinion there's no wrong way there's just you know whatever way works for you I like that all right let's give it another dry okay does it look like anything in particular no but there's just something about it I like and I would do these colors again I do think I'm going to go in with my whiteout pen and just add a little highlight just something like that and yeah there we go you could if you wanted if those weren't too dry although they are whiteout pen they probably derive pretty quickly so you could go back in with your damp little scrubby brush but there you go so let's take the tape off I did get a little brown there but that's good but that's cute little painting so 30 paintings in 30 days there's number 10 I'll be Barry if you'd
