To show you how I basically drew this, I'm going to redraw it again, I have my calligraphy pen here. Just watch what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do this credit taped. I'm going to do this part here. I'm gonna put a little above the center. And there we go, and there's the rock and then coming across here with not a straight line, a bit of an angle, just for perspective.

So if I want it straight, it won't quite look right. And I draw a shape here. Put a few lines in inking is great, because when you ink something, you can use the brush pen like this to get some nice skinny lines. Maybe put a little bit of something at the bottom here. You've noticed I've added a few ground lines here and there to give the shape of the rocks and a couple dabs here and there, a couple straight lines, maybe with a little crack in it like that. And here comes the big number one treat, he just creeps up.

Then the number two treat not quite the same, we want a different a distance between here that's not the same. So this one's kind of coming up straight right to the top and my little guy here, I'm not going to put it the same. Put it right here. Straight up. Notice I just pushed my whole arm up. Now I can switch to the other side of the pan for now.

And I can get finer strokes with this. So bottom of the clouds here. Put a light in to sweep it across a couple of wiggles and I got two lines down Here, three lines. And now I can work on back to this nib and I can work on some click strokes. For notice it's completely different each time I do it. I use some other different I think I'm going to bring one down here like that for a different this one here and it's going back and forth and back and forth.

More of a pine tree pine needles and this is my spar which I'm going to put hardly anything on. Couple broken lines here. Be the sun's coming from here. put my name on it, Ron might want to put the year if I want 2016 these are 99 cents. I buy them at a paint store. They're wonderful.

They're slanted wealth. So any kind of pallet and a carton anything Little dishes, anything that will hold paint is worth calling a palette you need a big brush and you need a medium sized brush and a small brush. Well we're almost all set up we got our water, three brushes, you have pitcher that we can do. Let's talk about the colors. First we have a lizard and crimson. Then we have three blues to choose from cobalt blue, which is the most deer in price.

Then we have the fellow seen blue the best all around blue, and of course, ultra marine blue which is somewhere in between these two. This is raw umber now, these are our two special colors here. Right there. ultramarine and and raw lumber. We have had clo that's ha NSA and we have Indian yellow, which originally came from India. Then we have the asome.

Yellow, another good yellow. Start with two paints two colors. You can't go wrong with two colors. Are you ready? So just watch and see what I do. I'm hitting the West Coast.

First thing I'm going to do is take this Picasso brush, and I'm getting it all over the paper for the sky, but not the cloud. See, not the cloud. But all over the sky. right over my ink. See waterproof ink. Perfect.

I wait a couple seconds. And I wanted the sky to bleed down into my landscape here. So I went into the ocean. thing I left is the cloud, it's definitely not been touched. Now the paper will buckle a little, it's 140 pound paper, no big deal. Put my brush aside here.

Take some more water. And while the water is sinking in to the paper, I'm taking some ultramarine here. And I'm going to do a quick dispersion test because the papers wet, and I'm probably going to be tilting my paper because water runs downhill. I'm going to get a nice little sweep across the sky here. And I'm going to see what happens not that I can even take some of my ink here, see my ink, and I'm going to paint it so that it's falling down. Now you'll notice this paper is what's called surface wet.

So I'm just going to play around with a few of the shapes here. See How much it's good to dress. You see it's not dripping too fast. Very nice. So now instead of adding more paint, what I'm going to do is take my big castle brush here, and I'm going to run it through like this. gonna clean that brush off here.

Always have a rag handy. We don't want too much water. We'll do it again. Those are those inclines there. We're going to do it again. And then watching I like that.

I like just what happened there. Whoo. Look at it go. Is it going for the clouds? No. Is there a beating there?

Yes. So I'm going to tilt. As I tilt I can simulate when so I can go like that. Oh, look at this nice white spot here. Things are happening. Now I'm gonna lay it flat because I don't want to lose it.

And I'm going to be really, really careful. And I'm going to take a little bit of the number, see the number just to drop it. Very thin umber and ultramarine will make a lovely soft grade. So I don't want too much water on my brush. Oh, there's a little drip there. I think I'll just add that there.

There we go. So here comes a little lumber. Let's drop it in to there. And one here. Put it darker one here. So this you think this is sky blue here, but I'm thinking it's a cloud bank coming in.

Now that's wet. So there we go. That's a lot. ombre Ron, whoa, whoa. Okay, let's see what happens there. Should I just leave it or let the water go back on it?

It's not really going anywhere is it? So I'm gonna let some of the water collect here that went on a little bit thick, but you know what? bold is good. Now what do I do if it's a little thick, I watch it for a second. And I realize that I can give it one little swipe here to distribute it better. That's it, that's as far as I'm going with that.

What I've done there is you can see that I've lifted a little bit of the paint off with it's now on this brush. I clean it off. And I'm just going to let that sit. And I'm going to have a little brown in here and here and then clean my brush. Take a little brown here. And gently distributed through their nice two colors so far.

And I look up there and I go I'm a little more blue in here. Ah, there we go. There we go. See? That's a lovely, it's almost black. Look at that.

That's a perfect stormy cloud right there. Just it's going to disperse Ron just leave it alone now that's nice trees there. Okay, you're a fairly thick mixture of the ultramarine and I am mixing them together. Take a little drop of moisture. And this now has become almost like ink. It's the same thicknesses as ink.

I load the brush up, get the tip on it. Putting a few of these in here. Going over wherever I see dark I'm going to put in these little strokes. Okay, now you see the predominantly blue. Let's see if it mixes in there. If it spreads out a bit, yes, start to spread out a bit.

Wow, that is pretty cool. These little waveforms here, that's where the reflection is this because it's being disturbed by the wind reflects the sky. Okay. There's my Indian yellow, and I'm going to add a little bit of the ultramarine to it. definitely got green there. And just gonna have a little bit of that on the He's here.

Don't get too carried away a little bit in here and there and I'm going to take some pure yellow. Pretty much pure, clean it off. Nice thing with these palettes you can just add water you see and that cleans your color off because clean colors are the best thing you can have in a water card. Now I've got a nice clean yellow. And I'm going to just see it's bleeding a little bit there. I like that little bit of a mist coming in with a little bit of the yellow right in there.

May be a drop in here. There we go. And a little bit here to warm it up in here and a little bit on my trees here. Drop it in really spread up there nicely and make it to mark here with the end of the brush, the thing I like about these got a nice to mark, not good to push that way. Always good to have the brush or the tool on an angle. See when you put it on an angle, it will rip the paper.

There like this a little browner here. I'm going to mix a little bit of the Indian yellow with the number. Now I'm getting a fairly thick paint in here see a rich paint almost opaque. And that's okay. A little bit of opaque is great in a pitcher. opaque meaning you can't see through it.

And that's good. Let that dry for a minute. Now what if I took a little Little bit of alizarin just to touch the papers wet and very thin with a drop or the terrain is dirty. So what do I do? Just add little water to it. And there we go, runs down.

Good. Get a quite a nice violet with the ultramarine and I'm just coming under here see that little violet shape. I might even drop a little bit of the ultramarine up here to now add a little more Oh, there we go. Shadow looks like the sun's coming from here. So pull it over there. They're dropped a little bit here and little here.

She can use a big brush like this. Or you could use a flat brush like this. Anything that will pick up paint. Ah, I got a little light area there. Let's pull this is the sky so I don't want to pull down because the reflection is from the sky up here. So let's see where else I can pull off a little light coming through.

Remember I said the light was coming from here so I'm going to pull it off right there. Take that brush. There's little white spot here. I don't want to touch it. Oh, yeah, that's that's good. just lifting a little bit here and there.

That's nice. And right here. There. anywhere else, Nope, I'm gonna let that dry. I might want to add with my small brush. little something to set the clouds off here.

I think I might take a little more of this light purple or violet. And because I wet that with my brush, no problem. lights coming from here. So Oh, I like that. Hey, I could put a little bit of that now you see painting start to talk to me. That's a good sign.

I could put a little bit of this purple In the water just a little bit. Oh, no, you think that's too dark. So I light it up with the water. Just lift it, and I'm going straight down. There we go. Looking just fine.

Okay, that's good. Take a take a break from that little dark up here. Maybe I'll just lift a little bit of cloud. Oh, yeah, look at that. That's cool. I like that.

The magic of the green tape. Notice I'm pulling away from the picture. A picture always looks better with nice white shirt on all the way around. People get colored mats and they do work occasionally, but honestly, a white mat is probably the best thing you can get. That's it. Great little picture and remember, no mistakes in art.
