山水畫教學——如何畫寫實的樹、山、草

Hey my friends, welcome back to another painting session with me here on my channel. Today we are going to paint this large landscape painting here. Yeah, see a pre-mixed set of 6 colors as you can see here. The secret or the important thing is I'm using one brush for each color to keep the color clean more or less. And it's more or less just a way of putting in the colors side by side And blending them to achieve a very realistic looking 3D effect on those cloud bodies that we put in here now. Already sparing out the space we need later on for the mountain parts. A bit of a time lapse here now. You can see how I go back and readjust those areas in there. Adding just some lighter or darker colors. Very easy process. If you like to see this video here in a full-time, real-time version, please check out my Patreon, link is somewhere down below here. Where you will see this video here in a full-time version over 10 hours of pure painting. Including the whole color mixing process and a lot of in-detail information of how to paint this painting here. After this little commercial break, I continue to show you how I build up this cloud area here. Basically, a detailed shot of the edge between the blue color of the back and the white of the clouds themselves. Again, this key part here is to have soft edges. To also let the cloud emerge in some areas from the back, as you can see here now. Extending the white of the cloud into the background color. The same goes for this part here. I'm grabbing a larger brush and start to blend those areas into the background color. Clouds, not all the clouds, not in all the circumstances, but in this case here. You need to let the cloud body emerge from the back. This is very very important in some areas. Here now a trick of how to build up quickly some 3D effect. I put in the rough color first, the base color. Go over the still wet parts, the darker color. And kind of blend the wet colors in. The same goes for this part here. Just adding some lighter color here to add some more volume to the clouds. Now to the mountain parts here. Basically, I have just two main colors. Some little helper colors, more or less. This looks weird at the first glance. Very flat, but those two-slash-four colors are enough to build up the first volume of this mountain here, more or less. You see, it already starts to become 3D. Then I let the whole thing dry for a couple of days. You see, I have added some more underpainting for the trees and the grass. Then I go and mix the same colors again, more or less, kind of. And dry brush blend them on to add some more details to these mountains here. Important part here is, don't go too fuzzy, don't go too detailed. When you add too many details, you gonna pull the mountain to the foreground. You need some details, of course, but don't overdo them, don't go too sharp on them. The same goes for the snow parts here. Just let them fade out. No hard edges. They look hard, but they kind of fade out. This is important to get again in this kind of distance that you want to show in this painting here. The distance between the mountain and the viewer itself. Another hint is that you need to follow the shape of the mountain. Obvious, but don't slap on the snow too randomly. Just put the snow in where it belongs, more or less, following the shape of the mountain. Very important, I think. You also need some snow in the shadow areas. Just some more blue mixed in. Kind of resembling the dark blue color of the sky. You can see here. This is basically all it takes to build up a mountain that looks realistic. Detailed, but not too detailed, so that it comes too much to the foreground. As I said before, be careful with the sharpness of the details. Don't put them in too strong, too detailed. The underpainting for the grass part. It looks very sloppy. The reason for this is to get in, already in the first stage, more details. Then I let the whole thing dry. Grab my grass brush. It's a very stiff, very old ragged hawk brush. You've seen before. This brush is a bit cut. So that we have not a straight ending of the brush, but kind of an edged one. With this brush, I basically stipple on the rough first, second layer, detailed parts. You see. Important here is also that you need a ton of different colors. With those brownish ones, those lighter greens, those darker greens. Also those whitish appearing colors. Then I go back and put over those still wet, stippled on parts of the color with a very fine, soft round brush. Those details. Some flowers, some longer grass bits, pieces. Just adding those details. Painting them in some places only. Mixing some greens in there. Some darker ones. Colder ones. Lighter ones. You see. I'm going crazy, kind of. Slapping on the color. In all kinds of shapes, sizes. Resembling grass bits here and there. Using here another brush. A bigger round brush. Again to stipple on more details here and there. I'm using even a fan brush here. As you can see. For the background flower parts. See. I'm stippling it on. Also using this kind of a dry brush technique. To let the color of the brush fade out. So that we get a really nice transition connection between those colors. And the flowers in the foreground need to be a bit larger. Therefore I go back and grab this softer round brush here. And put those colors in. Be random. The key part. Don't repeat yourself. Over and over again. Really. Go in all directions. Left, right, up, down. Stipple it on. Do some dots. Use this green that I used before. Even mix this kind of a yellowish, brownish tone here. Just hint some top parts of the grass here and there. You see. It's a long process. Took me quite a while to build this whole thing up. But. I think the more details you put in. The more it starts to really become. Like this wild meadow that I want to paint here. A lot of details. A lot of different colors. A lot of sizes, shapes. Different. Even those yellowish flowers here and there. Again. Don't repeat yourself. Shape wise. Something that. I still have to remind myself of. Don't. Use the same pattern. When you apply the color. Go from top to bottom. Bottom to top. Left, right, up and down. Stipple it on. Thin the color. Yeah. Blend a bit. Really go crazy. And. The more I think you put in. The more. The better it starts to look. Now to the. Yeah. Last bit. The tree here. I see I'm. Putting in the color first. The other painting. Then I. Let the whole thing dry. And go back with the. Background color. And poke in some holes. Into this tree. May look a bit weird. But I think it's easier this way. To do it this way. I grab a dagger brush. A very fuzzy. Old one. But very soft. Start to. Yeah. Kind of stipple on. First those darker. Yeah. Leaf. Parts here. Details. And I'm using. The tip. Of this brush. Very important I think. And I'm also using this. Dry brush. Blending technique. I let the color on the brush. Kind of fade out. I. I'm grabbing a flash. Instead of. A bit of color here. And then I. Go on stippling the color. But. The more you do this. The less color you have on the brush. And the. The lighter those. Bits to put on. Up here. It's very easy. Very. Quick way of building up. Yeah. Leaf details. Very very. Quick. Yeah. And then I mix. Darker color. Darker than the one we mixed before. That we have in the background here. And then I start to build up those. Tree trunks. Those branches. That we have. Showing up here. In this. Mid-level section here. Again. I don't paint them. Top to bottom. Completely through. I just hint them here and there. And. Yeah. I think this is a very easy way of. Hinting details that. Basically are not there. Yes. Of course. The trees. The limbs that I paint here now. Are there. But. It appears to. To have. More. Of them. When you just. Go a bit awake. You don't have to. Paint. Every single one of them. You know. Yeah. And this darkish color. I repeat. Kind of. All over the place. To get even more details. In this section here. Lower end. Yeah. And then I. Finally start to build up the. The. Yeah. Leaves that are lit. By the sunlight. Yeah. Again I'm. Trying to be very. Random. With the application of a color. Also. Yeah. Mixing different greens here. Lighter ones. Darker ones. Colder ones. Warmer ones. And. Yeah. I. Also try to not repeat myself. Like on the grass. With the shape of the grass. Of the. Leaves. Um. I also do. Kind of a bit of a blending. Um. Some of those. Um. Yeah. Leaves. Um. Fade out into the. Background color. More or less. Some are bigger. Some are smaller. Some are. Yeah. Again in this. Dry brush. Blending technique. Build up. Grab some flesh color. Put on those. Um. Leaves that need to be. Very clear. Visible. And some. Are not. Yeah. Some are a bit more fading into the background. And then I go back. Uh. Grab the. Color. That we used before. To poke in those big holes. And. Yeah. I'm using a smaller brush. And start to. Add even more. Kind of a window. Um. Thing. In. In this. Um. Tree section here. To. Let a bit more. Appear. Or. Shine through from the background. And this even. Yeah. Adds to the. Amount of detail that we have here. In a very simple way. I mean it's. It's really that easy. Um. Again. A bit random. Shape wise. And. Also really. Make sure that you know. Where you put them in. Really important. I think. And the same goes for the. Uh. Grass. The light green grass that we have in the background here. Shining through. Uh. In some areas. And then again. Um. Make some more details. We have this shadow. Put in. Beneath the. Um. Mountain here. Beneath the tree here. And I. Yeah. Start to. Hint. More grass. In front of this. Um. Shadow area here. Again. Not. Painting all those. Single bits of grass. Um. But. Yeah. So. That's about it for today. I hope you had some fun painting with me. Um. Please subscribe to my channel. Please hit that like button.
