The provided text is a transcript of a painting tutorial. The artist, who does not give a name, guides viewers through the process of creating a winter scene using different colors and techniques.
The tutorial begins with the artist preparing the canvas with a liquid white base. They then use a one-inch brush to apply a mix of cad yellow and bright red, creating a sun in the sky. The artist emphasizes the importance of using small, crisscross strokes to blend the colors together.
Next, the artist uses a larger brush to apply titanium white and alizarin crimson, creating a soft, lavender color. They then add a touch of phthalo blue to the mix, creating a blend of blue and lavender. The artist repeats this process, applying different colors and blending them together using small strokes.
The artist then introduces the concept of "wet on wet" painting, explaining that it allows for easy blending and adjustment of colors. They demonstrate this by blending the previously applied colors together, emphasizing the importance of stepping back from the canvas to get a good view.
The artist then uses a large brush to apply a mix of prussian blue, van dyke brown, and alizarin crimson to create a mountain. They explain that the more crimson used, the more purplish the mountain will become.
Next, the artist uses a knife to apply a layer of white and a small amount of bright red to the mountain, creating a warm, snowy effect. They demonstrate how to use the knife to create shadows and highlights on the mountain, emphasizing the importance of following the angles of the mountain.
The artist then uses a two-inch brush to create mist, following the angles of the mountain. They then use a mix of dark and light colors to create a forest of evergreens.
Finally, the artist uses a mix of white, prussian blue, and a touch of bright red to add highlights to the scene, emphasizing the importance of contrast to create depth and dimension in the painting. The tutorial concludes with the artist encouraging viewers to make their own decisions about the composition and colors of their paintings.
