- 0:00:00 - Let's Get Started: Materials NT 55PC Art Set+ Watercolor Paper + Bonus: Brush Pen & Metallic Color Pencil!
- 00:10:25 - No Sketching or Outline necessary! Since we're using watercolor pencils, which allow you to easily control where color is places - just like regular pencils, we start directly with watercolor pencils.
- 00:34:11 - Starting with Pink at the top, using it instead of blue for our sky and clouds.
- 00:56:12- Light Violet Next. Use it to shape out the mountain peeks, making light strokes - building color, you can always add more!
- 01:23:28 - Light Blue, going over the previous color light violet, starting slightly below the peeks.
IN ORDER TO PREVENT COMPLETE BLENDING AND TURNING EVERYTHING INTO GRAY/BROWN: Start each next color layering slightly lower than previous.
- 01:54:23 - Dark Blue. Remember to leave some parts blank!
- 02:07:19 - Black. Layer over dark blue, bottom and middle.
- 02:19:14 - Yellow. Layer under black, strokes from outside in.
- 02:35:27 - Orange. Layer over yellow, on the sides.
- 02:49:27 - Pink. Layer over orange.
- 03:03:24 - Light Green. Layer lightly over top of yellow.
- 03:15:06 - Dark Green. Layer lightly over light green and parts of black.
TIME TO CREATE MAGIC! Activate Watercolor Pencils into Watercolor!
- 03:35:07 - Place droplets of water all over, starting at the top - PINK.
- 04:14:27 - Make sure to leave the blank spots, do not drag the color out into them.
- 04:29:17 - Activating the Peeks. Do not blend! Keep the shape of our peeks!
- 04:51:02 - Start to blend below the peeks.
- 05:29:19 - Blend yellow & greens, LEAVING Our blank spots!
- 05:49:30 - Blend Orange carefully without dragging it into the dark above.
ADMIRE the beautiful landscape thats coming together. Now is a perfect time to ADD Color and Depth.
- 06:09:23 - ADD Depth by grabbing color right from the pencil. Using a wet nylon brush pick up color from the pencil tip. Starting with Pink.
- 06:40:23 - Dark Blue using the same method as above.
- 07:05:03 - Dark Green same method and tapping the brush at the pencil tip let green splashes drop.
BONUS DETAIL #1 : Green Brush Pen (36PC Art Set)
- 07:36:18 - Using brush pen draw a stem with leaves on each side of the landscape. Creates almost a 2D effect, doesn't it?
ALLOW YOUR WATERCOLOR LANDSCAPE TO DRY COMPLETELY PRIOR TO ADDING BONUS DETAIL #2 : METALLIC COLOR PENCILS
Metallic accents have been such a popular esthetic lately, what a great way to bring light to dark or accent pastel colors! Let's try!
- 07:57:24 - GOLD. Add to accent pink and lighten the darkest parts, bringing shimmer and reflective properties.
