The video begins with the narrator welcoming the viewers to a painting session with the theme of a campfire in a forest. They explain that this painting will be more imaginative and unique. The canvas is black, painted with alizarin crimson.
The narrator starts by using cadmium yellow to create the campfire's glow in the center of the canvas. They apply crisscross strokes and gradually make it brighter, always cleaning the brush in between to keep the center area the brightest.
Next, they add distant trees with a fan brush and a mix of van Dyke brown and crimson. These trees are just dark silhouettes.
Then, they use a one-inch brush to add leaves to the background trees, using a mix of van Dyke brown and alizarin crimson.
After that, they add highlights to these trees with a mix of yellow ochre and Indian yellow.
The narrator blends everything softly to create depth and atmosphere.
They introduce a little lake using cadmium yellow, adding reflection.
A projection of land is created with van Dyke brown.
Then, the reflection of this land is added to the lake.
A big tree is painted with van Dyke brown, extending off the canvas.
The tree is highlighted with permanent red and burnt umber.
Lastly, the narrator adds more highlights to the tree to suggest the fire's illumination.
The video ends with an invitation for viewers to share their feedback and ideas for future painting sessions.
