«The Vorontsov Palace».
Dear friends! Today I paint in Alupka.
You see The Vorontsov Palace and a path leading to the entrance to the park.
As you can see, we have a very pretty scenery for the film.
As usual, the first sketching out the background - this is heaven.
Today I have changed a process - I will paint the sky with a brush first, and then show the main color stain with a rag.
That is, I will be working on a cloudy color traced details.
I take the blue, white, and, of course, the solvent.
You can see that the sky is just such tone as I demonstrate.
Sky is blue and the sun bunnies even brighter.
Therefore, I leave the bottom of the canvas in light for that after it will be easier.
The paint is a little distribute the cloth.
I see quite monotonous sky, so it is very convenient to use a rag.
Note that I did not wipe, but distribute the paint, as long as it does not become accurate.
We see asphalt, stone fence and the palace, which is slightly darker than the sky.
To show this, I take purple. Thanks rag, paint falls rather dull, and that is just what we need.
Shadow areas are on the pavement, as well as at the fence.
Around here, there are cypresses, which run into the sky.
Behind them, there is the palace and one of its stonewalls.
I decided to move a little tower to the picture look better.
You see, it is very easy. Now I take the yellow, turquoise, white, and show grace greens.
Right now, I put on canvas highlights of my landscape.
Now I take the red and white and show the illumination of asphalt and stone fence.
I even added a little yellow and almost orange sunbeams.
Just half an hour ago, there were sunbeams on the pavement and I show them, although at the moment they are gone.
Now take the green and work with herbs.
Sometimes I add pink, which will give the solar effect.
It is easy to draw by rag, and you can see how well she draws spruce branches.
Today I paint a wonderful landscape, I do not need to add anything - the landscape itself is very beautiful.
You can now hear the kids enjoyed the environment.
It is really an awesome place - babbling brook nearby, the birds are singing...
You can see that very well rag puts the paint on the canvas, as if it came up with for the job.
Indeed red gives a little cold motif that sets off the bright green light, lit by the sun.
There is a sense sets. In fact, do not need to have some kind of super-skills to get beautiful.
Greenery hanging over the fence, and now it seems to be gathered our landscape into a coherent whole.
It will be better to show the verticality of the vertical stroke of the fence.
And vice versa - I am showing a recumbent road plane horizontal stroke.
Center of the picture is located here. Now I am going to fill it with paint and content.
Unfortunately, we arrived quite late - now 6.00 pm.
It would be better to come to 5.00 pm, in time to put everything and start on time.
Nevertheless, we managed to grab the land of the sun. Center of the picture has a warm orange.
To do this, first I put purple, and after adding orange.
Thus, I show that the sun illuminates these areas.
- I like your picture!
- Thank you!
- Why do you draw with your finger?
- I can paint by anything - by finger or even by rag...
- I also really like your picture!
You see that light places almost pink.
I will elaborate silhouette later.
This can done with a palette knife blade,
before working with a brush.
Blue color that I put on the canvas at the beginning - very important - it gives the effect of the air.
Therefore, I advise you to paint all landscapes in blue first, and then add other colors.
You see, I am adding a little orange on the road and it becomes more harmonious.
It is very convenient to draw cypresses with a palette knife.
Again, I added a little pink to show cold greens.
Somewhere I added a bit more somewhere pink.
Now I took a yellow, turquoise and white and showed lit green paint is very thick.
Note that I am constantly wiping cloth palette knife.
I see that the trees do not orange, but I still add it to enhance the brightness.
I draw the branches of the bush with a palette knife - just scratching the canvas.
Adding even more vivid color, no white - and the feeling of the sun appears even stronger.
You can see that such a smear palette knife sets and gives a sense of texture paint.
A texture of the paint is best to use on luminous portion.
In the shade of green has a cold shade.
I use red and white, or yellow and white - it gives increased light in the distance.
I remind you that the light places like thick paint, and now I add thickness to the lit areas.
Keep in mind that it is best to come early, when the sun is still high.
When I get crushed thick paint, glow effect appears and turns a sunbeam.
I also want to note that I never stay in one section of the picture - I paint the whole picture at once - here and there.
Now I show a little edge of the fence to make it clear where it ends.
Showing her well to the right. There are cypress here.
Its leaves overshadow the huge fig tree, and it looks very nice, because it is very different in fig leaves.
I paint them with a brush, because they are large enough.
You can see how I hold the brush and you should try to do as I do.
It is not necessary to draw all the leaves are the same color, because the sun illuminates some of them, and some are in the shade.
In some places, the light breaks.
I use rag - you can see how I hold it - like a rose - and that such movements show greens.
As part of the shadow, I put very little paint, now it is very convenient to specify a path with a brush.
Now I am drawing silhouette.
Remember you can always take a picture of your landscape by camera, and to finish it more accurately when you will at home.
I add the orange color is stronger than necessary to get the effect of sunshine.
Stone has a rather muddy color - so I take it that there is in the palette and I specify a stone fence.
Now there a lot of tourists and the artist always draws people's attention.
However, I hope it will not embarrass you.
You should know that all what you do, it is absolutely stunning effect for these people, because they cannot do the same.
I hope that this will not be a problem for you. You can see that new cultures quite clear as it should be in the shade.
It is very convenient to paint the stones with a palette knife.
You can see that from the very beginning of the picture was a blue - and it looks very nice.
Here you can see that quite a pronounced stony fence.
I see the arch in the distance, beyond which there is also the sunlight.
I show a little shady lane that separated from the foreground of the background.
Now I paint the latest details.
Again, I repeat that if you take a picture overview by camera, you will always be able to finish such items at home.
You see what I am trying to make the architecture is quite monotonous.
If I take a slightly different color, the one tree overshadowed by other right away, and there will be a variety.
You see that the cloth is very convenient to lay the paint easily. You can also use this technique.
I added the red color on the light areas of cypress trees, and added a very dark green on the shady spots.
As I drew a thick paint cypress and spruce, which is located behind it, not thick paint, it seems that they are on different levels.
In the shadow of the road, I add a bit of warm colors, reflections.
However, it is important to add quite a bit because the main cold reflex gives the sky.
Now have the most recent strokes, now I just show the silhouette with brush.
I encourage you to come here and paint a landscape. Sure, it will be very nice!
