Paint with me(not so easy)🌹

Sharing with you a not so easy art tutorial today because I think you can take on this challenge if you have been following my other tutorials. And even if it doesn’t come out great(believe me as an artist, it feels as if it can always be better) this one is a nice practice, combining blends of two colors and then solid focus point.

Swipe to see the steps

Materials I used: 📋

Watercolor paper of any size

Watercolors or gouache ( I used gouache but watercolors would work as well)

Black pen for outlining

Tape

Colors: 🦋

Shades of Blue

Pink

Yellow and brown

White

Extra tip 💡

Using a tape to cover the girl helps as we are using lighter colors than blue and pink for her clothes.

Find me on Instagram @code_n_color. I appreciate your support from the bottom of my heart

... Read moreCreating art can be both rewarding and challenging, especially when trying to blend multiple colors seamlessly. In this tutorial, we focus on combining shades of blue, pink, and more to create a visually striking piece. Begin with a navy blue layer for your backdrop, adding a gradient of blue for depth. Then, paint a pink layer at the bottom to bring warmth. As you progress, incorporate darker shades to create clouds, emphasizing the layers beneath them. Make sure to fill in characters with bright colors to ensure they pop against the background. An extra tip is to use tape to mask off areas, helping you maintain the vibrancy of lighter colors against darker backgrounds. Once you’ve completed the painting, consider adding finishing touches like white stars for a dreamy effect. Art is a journey, and each piece you create adds to your skills. So, don’t worry if it doesn’t come out perfectly, just enjoy the process and keep practicing!
