 to take my ochre color that's in the Pacific Northwest palette. I'm gonna mix a little bit of the yellow gouache with it, which is a very bright primary yellow. Brighten it up a little bit, but it will also make it a little bit more opaque. Okay, clean off my brush, grab just a little bit of that, and I'm gonna put that in the sky a bit. Let me get these wonderful sort of yellow, pink, and purple skies when the sun is setting up here where we are in Oregon, and they're just so pretty. I'm always trying to capture them in my painting. I'm just dabbing the color on, and I'm trying to suggest shapes now. If I don't like the shapes that I suggested, or I think the color is too dark, I can go back in again with some of the white gouache, and I'm just dabbing, and I'm not dabbing over all the yellow, just some of it. I'm gonna grab some of the red that's in here in that Pacific Northwest palette, which is a dark sort of burgundy red. I'm gonna rinse off my brush, and try to grab some of the yellow that I made, and bring it over to that red, and make sort of something that's more pink, orangey peachy. And we'll do the same thing in the sky that we did with the yellow. And again, rinse off the brush, grab some of the white. White gouache is the fabulous thing now I have. Different variations of white gouache in a lot of my watercolor palettes, because it is a handy paint to have when you're painting and trying to do these kind of things. But as a mixed media artist, I also just get sometimes my white paint pen and my white gel pen involved, if I feel like I need to. I'm gonna go back in with some of the red while things are still wet. I'm also going to add a little bit of this teal-y color to the red. Let's see what happens if it just turns brown. No, it's still too green. Let's put, let's see, more red. There we go. I want something that's a little more purple. Again, with the white, I'm gonna switch to one of my round brushes. I'm gonna choose the number two round. I think it's number two, yeah, number two round. I have a purple in here that's a dark dioxazine purple. I believe that's the purple that's in here. And I'm gonna mix that with stuff that's already on here. It is an m-gram purple, so it is very super pigmented. So after you get some on there, just be careful how much you stick on here. Now, the working on the watercolor ground, it's not as absorbent as your paper, so it is a little easier to lift things. This is always the case. I'm just adding suggested shapes in. I'm gonna go back to my yellow. I always like to do my skies and my backgrounds before I do the foreground. I don't like to have to go back and touch up the sky. It does happen, but it's easier to do on acrylic than it is in watercolor. I think I'm happy with that mostly as I go back and add white. I don't want to lose all the marks I just had. I just want to diffuse some things a little bit. Just go in now with some water, blend that out a little bit. You'll see how that white, it just covers up, for the most part, covers up things underneath it. And if you have parts that were you like that, it's just way too dark. I don't like that. The white will work. White acrylic paint will work too, but then you might not be able to watercolor over the top of it. Let's give that a dry, shall we? Okay, just like when we did the other painting, let's do something similar. So I'm going to start with lighter version of the colors I've been using. I'm going to add some white gouache over here in a corner so I can get sort of a light blue gray color. Okay, and we are going to, but first we're going to make that a little more blue. It's not very blue. I'm just mixing it with what's on the palette using what's here. So we're going to take our little tiny round brush. I'm going to just do some straight lines. Then I'm going to do the same thing on the other side. Then I'm going to take this brush and I'm going to do some suggestions of land. Okay, rinse my brush off a little bit and grab some water. I would say clean water, only you, I don't think you can see my water bucket and it's pretty gross. So it is what it is though. We're going to blend the color out a little bit and I'm going to bring some of it down into the water because usually the land is usually reflected in the water. If you don't have enough to blender, it's dried too quickly. Grab a little more. Okay, then I'm going to take, and I'm just going to use the very tip of my brush and I'm going to suggest leaves and branches. Just dabbing, dab, dab, dab. Now if you're working on a bigger painting, this is a little easier to do with a flat brush than it is with a rounded tip brush, but it works. Then I'm going to dry that again. We're going to make a little bit darker color. I'm going to add some more of the green over here and using the darker color. I'm not necessarily going right on top of what you just did, but I want you to do the same thing. Don't cover up the trees that you just made, make new ones. Let's make some new suggestions on the land, carrying some of it down into the water and then back to the dab, dab, dab. Okay, then we're going to dry that again. Then I'm going to take my Pacific Northwest palette and I'm going to grab some of the neutral tint, which is sort of a dark transparent black, black gray color. I'm going to mix it with some of the blues that are on my palette and make something fairly dark. We're going to do it again one more time. Same thing. Don't put them exactly where you did already, but do the same thing over again. Like in the sample piece, I went back. Now it was gouache, so I don't think this is going to work. Yeah, it's not going to work super well with the watercolor. It is sort of working, but I went back over some parts of like where the land was with a little bit of the yellow because whatever is above the water is usually reflected in the water, right? Not a lot, just a little bit. You can add, when I did the sample, I added some birds, which is fun. So take the darkest color that you've made and just do these little, now that bird is like, so let's do that again. But see, if that was watercolor paper, I wouldn't necessarily be able to lift that completely. Okay, I'm going to give that a dry. I'm going to go in with a white paint pen. Gel pens don't usually want to write over watercolor easily, but especially I think when you have this ground on a piece of canvas, I think that's just asking a lot of your gel pen. So just get out a white acrylic paint pen because it'll work and just sort of add some sort of foamy bits in the water. Maybe add some light reflection on your trees. You don't have to do too much, just make suggestions. It does a lot to brighten up the piece like that. So in answer to everybody's question, including mine, can you watercolor on fabric? Yes, you can. Is it easy? Well, no, not really, but it is possible and it is a lot of fun. I'd love to see what you guys can do with this. Now we will be taking this and incorporating this into a slow stitch piece and that will be in a future video, so watch for that. But this was a lot of fun. I am going to look forward to doing this more, I think. So what do you all think? I'd love to know.
