Utilising the masking technique

Before 

        

As you can see in the before template certain aspects of the water, as well as the boats are covered with masking fluid to prevent the paint from covering the area, eventually the bird was covered as well so to the freedom to paint without worrying whether the area will be painted over.

                                                                             After

The look-out at the Lady Young

                                                                                             

 Go to facebook   

Look at the sun rays at the right side of the pictures, this can be achieved after the painting is completed. When the painting is dry,  just mix white and yellow with a bit of water then dip the smallest paint brush in the medium and apply the brush stroke from the middle of the sun and continue straight down.

How to include clouds

Look at these cloud formations, each are different and tells it's own story. When you are painting your own story chose cloud formations that would add to the mood and the overall effect of the scene.

Sometimes a little goes a long way. Hint, leave as much white parts for the clouds as possible don't paint the blue over the white parts of the cloud, paint the outer area of the clouds first then add white for blending purposes.

 Now! You are ready to paint the inner area of the cloud 'white' and while it is drying add hints of blue or grey depending on the mood of the painting for highlights purposes, but the base of the cloud is white.

So go ahead and melt your stress away and earn money this way, you can do it.

A drive by effect

A drive by picture  go to facebook 

Is this a picture or a painting? If you guest this is a picture you are right. While on my way home I took a picture of a cane field. However, If you want to transform this scene into an ocean setting you can replace the land with sea and in the distance include mountains, just for effect. 

Go ahead and melt your stress away and earn money this way.

Escape to Paramin

These are more pictures of Paramin hills, stop for a moment look at these pictures and relax for just a moment.

Adding Value by using a black ink pen

Select a photo of your choice, make sure you can easily identify the light from the dark areas, then draw out the outline of the object first with a pencil and when the form is as you would like it be. Go ahead and use the dots or stroke techniques by darkening the shadow areas and leave the lighter areas as is, so to reflect the light. This is a simple technique to use, when you are finished you will amaze everyone , they will think you were doing this for years.

Paramin Hills- a slight ocean view

This view was taken way up in the hills of Paramin, where in the horizon you could see a slight view of the ocean. These hills are gorgeous, if you manage to have some free time on your hands, I would recommend that you should explore these hills and then try painting them.

I would recommend that you begin by drawing out the outline of the picture, after which you can paint the sky with a light wash of (light blue), then when the paint is dry you can paint the clouds. Don't add the blue wash where the clouds will be, just paint within the cloud area which is (white).

Make sure that the paint is dried, now you could then add in the highlights, by putting in the shadows (grey) with a tiny hint of blue and red and for the upper part of the cloud, you can use little touches of yellow but majority white. You can add white with yellow then put in shadows.

Always remember to blend the colors especially the sky, for the most part you can now add in the white part in the sky , just add a hint of grey and a tiny bit of blue for effect, the horizon has dark blue covered with a light grey mixture. 

The rest is relatively easy, paint the coconut tree leaves normal brown, yellow, and dark green, trunk will be brown with yellow and highlight the entire tree with dark blue for effects. 

Mountains- you can use a green wash and gradually intensify the pigment after it is dried, then add yellow to show where the light source is coming from, then for the darker areas you can use dark blue and for effect add a grey over the mountain peeks. 

Color the grass by allowing the paint brush liberty to add contrast to the background, in other words it is not suppose to look perfect, Don't forget to add in the houses. 

Go ahead have a go!!!  View more pictures of Paramin Hills
