hi today we're doing a really simple bamboo with dragonfly painting
first i'm giving the canvas a quick coat of white paint
this will make it a little easier when we're blending the yellow and green
now i have my mop brush just to blend and soften those colours together
i'm using a small round sponge that you can buy from any art store
or even dollar store to add my circles and then i'm softening those again with my mop brush
you can use any colors that you like for this
i've added a little black to my sap green and we'll mark out where the bamboo is going to be
and we'll add a few highlights and details later
for my dragonfly i'm using reds and golds
i'm roughly marking out my dragonfly to begin with but we will be able to make the wings a
little larger and the dragonfly a little bigger if we need to later
i'm using the liner brush for the details in the dragonflies especially the wings
and it's really just a case of a little bit of cross hatching
and lines here and there to give an indication of the wing
for the reflections in the water i've thinned down the paint just a little
and i do have a fair amount of paint on my brush
this will make it easier to blend with my other colors because it won't dry too quickly
i'm using a blender brush to softly blend and swirl those colors together
and here are some of the videos that i hope you like to watch next see you next time
you
