 Hey guys, welcome 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 going to experiment mostly with watercolor and gouache and let's get to painting and I will see you at the end. Hey guys, welcome to 30 and 30 day six. We are going to do one more painting on this pair of pages. I have as usual my plate which I need to clean, a watercolor palette, a couple of white pens, some brushes, some water and one of my inspiration books on the table. The page that I've turned to has a number of different abstract images and a primarily orange and red color way on the two pair of pages and I really like to besides experimenting with composition and getting back into the habit of doing something like watercoloring if you haven't done it for a while or ever. The other thing that's fun to do with these little quick paintings is just to see some days how colors will blend together and using different colors and different brushes and splatters or whatever to see what your colors will do together in an abstract form. So that's what we're going to do today. As usual we're going to start with our half inch flat and I'm going to start with actually the buff titanium. I'm going to put it directly on the page. I'm going to rinse my brush off and add some water. Now the water soluble paints are really easy. They're going to go wherever you put the water. That's where they're going to want to go. If the paper is dry they're not going to go there if there's water somewhere else. So I'm going to just put on the color. Look at how it's reacting, where it's wet and it's not where it's dry. Then I'm going to go back in again, clean off my brush well as much as I can and how dirty my water is and I'm going to move some of it around or a lot of it around. It's going to get a little bit muddy the color. Although this is a bright color, this Indian yellow because it's going to mix with the buff titanium which is a very muted sort of grayed out muddy color. Again like I did before in a prior video you can take your rag and you can just sort of if you've gotten too much on there you won't. I'm just tapping it lightly. You won't get it all off but you'll get some. That's fine. You can do it with paper towel. I like to use rags and something that I can reuse. I probably should have the water over here so it's not constantly doing that in front of the camera. Okay. All right so then we're going to go in with, what color are we going to go in with? That's a good question. I think I'm going to go in with, I think I'm going to mix, oh I'm going to mix our Indian yellow with a little bit of, let's try that. I just put N.A.P. Maroon. I'll put the name in the description Napthol Maroon or I don't remember now what it's abbreviated from. That's the problem with doing abbreviations sometimes on the paint colors. Anyway it's a maroon color. I'm going to mix it with the yellow and get sort of a kind of an orangey brown because that red, the maroon color is kind of a brown, brownish red. And as before I'm going to take my rank, plot it where I think I've got too much, add some back where I think I didn't leave enough. I'm going to our chalkboard and do that. We're going to give it a dry. Okay I'm going to take a smaller brush and I'm going to go in with the quinacridone magenta. I'm just going to kind of paint or highlight some shapes that I already see on the painting that are forming on the painting. I'm not going to get too far again before I go in with water. Preserving one edge sharply and blurring out the other edge. Why is it looking like berries to me? I must have food on the brain or something? Much pigment right there. You can also of course just tilt it and let things drip where they may which is sometimes really fun to do. So I am yeah I'm definitely seeing berries. I don't know why I'm seeing berries but yeah I keep trying to go back over there with the paint every noticed. Okay we're going to dry that. Okay I'm going to go in with some ultramarine turquoise which may just look as a really dark color on here with all the other colors that are in the background but we'll see. I'm going to just I think refine some of these berry shapes and put a little bit of it and then again water. I'm actually going to go let's go with a bigger brush. I had no absolutely no plan to paint berries when we started this painting. I did not know that was where this was going to go but sometimes your art as in life has its own idea of where you're going to go with something and doesn't really care what you think. This is one of those instances I like where it's going I just am surprised. They sort of look like grapes don't they? Again very surprised. Okay so let's give that a dry before we do anything else. Okay I'm going to add some of my favorite green which is undersea green. I think in some spots I'm going to add a little bit of permanent yellow green. Again that was abbreviated so I had to think about it for a minute and decide what color it was that I meant to write on there. So undersea green again we're suggesting foliage right if they are berries there would be foliage back there somewhere. So the undersea green would be the dark part and the permanent yellow green would be the highlight part the part that's getting hit by the sun right and again it doesn't hurt if you get too much pigment on there if you do it right away while it's wet you can go in and you can lift some of it up. I really like the way that's where that's going. I think we're going to take our whiteout pen. I constantly and without scratch paper how is that possible? I'll use the back of this business card. Okay so I'm going to just I'm actually going to take a small scrubber brush from my stash of acrylic brushes and if the whiteout pen is still wet it'll move it around if it's not it's going to scrub the pigment around. This is if you're going to work with whiteout pen with your watercolor this is a better choice of a brush to have on hand so you don't mess up your acrylic brushes. I mean your watercolor brushes and I'll tell you what kind of brushes this is in just a minute I didn't mean to do that let's lift it okay so this is a creative mark FX FX brush number nine but any short any brush with a short like scrubby end will work like a stippling brush I'm going to just leave that out. All right so that's our painting for today I am happy about where it went but very surprised so let's take the tape off there you go day six of 30 paintings in 30 days I hope you enjoyed that process and if you have any questions comments or concerns do leave them down below that's it for today see you later how was that for today's painting I hope you enjoyed the process and if you want instruction on the painting you need to be over on patreon they are going to get the talking version here on youtube you're just going to get the speed food through version sorry um if you'd like to support the free content here on facebook or in the here on facebook holy cow if you'd like to support the free content here on youtube or over in the facebook art groups I certainly would appreciate that you can of course join patreon we do have youtube membership here for a small fee and um also I have an Etsy shop and I have PayPal tip jar and all that stuff so check out the video description relevant links will also be down there and uh yeah don't forget the most important things stay healthy stay safe stay creative and go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it do share your work with me I would love to see what you're doing that's it for now see you later bye guys
