How to Paint Floral Foliage
Good evening, This is Yovette again. I'm glad you came back to join me this
evening. This is on floral foliage tonight, that's what I'll be teaching you,
and I'm not very good at it, I'm not a floral teacher. Well I am a teacher, but I
don't do, I'm not very good at floral, but I will share with you what I know, and
hopefully you'll be better at it than I am!
So let's go ahead and get started. So these are the colors that I'm going to
be using for this demonstration today. Just plain titanium white, and then just
floral pink, alizarin crimson, sap green, ultramarine blue, turquoise, and cad
yellow. Very limited palette. And these are floral colors so that they are
definitely softer. And you will also need liquid white, to put on the canvas first
before we even start painting. You want to cover your canvas. And I forgot to
mention you will also need the floral medium, the oil painting medium. I
use Bob Ross brand but there's other brands out there if you'd like to use
something else. So this is the liquid white I'm putting on now, and I'll tell
you one thing I want to be sure and mentioned. When you're using liquid white
be sure, be absolutely sure, to mix that paint really well before you put it on
the canvas, because all the oil goes to the top, and if you don't mix it well,
you're going to ruin your your liquid white real fast because all the pigment
settles at the bottom. Anyway I found this handy hint! Look at this. This is
just a cheap old, what is it, a two inch brush I found it at the hardware store.
It works absolutely great for just putting on paint, just for your base coat.
You know these Bob Ross brushes, they cost approximately twenty to twenty-five
dollars, just for one brush! Now that's a lot of money, so you really want to take
care of your brushes and use scrubby brushes
whatever you can just to take up all that slack. And I also wanted to mention
I'm doing a collab with Sayanti Fine Art this month. She is going to be
doing foliage just as I am, and so I encourage you to look at her site see
what she's doing. My gosh that girl she works in oils, acrylics, pastels, you name
it, she works in watercolor, she's just a little bit into everything. So do check
out her channel, I'll put it in the link below. So anyway this is going on very
nicely, I like this. I'm gonna call that good. Okay so this little cap is what I
have my oil in, my oil medium, and always, when using floral colors and
using a floral brush, oh and by the way, we're only using a half inch, this one is
a Bob Ross floral brush. Any floral brush you have will work. You can use a
synthetic or a natural brush. So anyway always start out with oil. Just dip your
brush into it, make sure you have oil on your brush. And the first color that I'm
going to go into, mainly I'm going to be working with just blues and greens, and
we're just going to be doing different foliage leaves today. So notice that I do
not go straight into the pile. I just go on the outer edge just a little bit, a
little bit of blue, little green, a little blue, I want to load both sides of the
brush, and you know you can tell when the brush is not working because you will
feel a drag. It'll just like, get real, you'll be really pulling on it. When you
feel that it's nice and slippery, that's when it's ready. Okay? And do the first
thing I'm going to do is a tapered leaf. Now this can be a tulip leaf, or an iris
leaf, or something like that. So starting, I'm going to start in the
middle here, starting at the bottom. you just put your brush down, and come up and
just fade away. I load almost, almost between every stroke, because it seems to
go so fast. Now that's just a plain straight taper. We could also do a taper
with a curl. And, a little more medium. I don't know if you can see, I'm just
dipping, just the corner of my brush into the medium, and then I can go
into the paint. Just make sure you smooth it on both sides. Feel it, it should be
very slippery. From here, oh let's go let's continue this one.
That's a tapered leaf. I didn't get that very good. Now you could, I'm going into a
little bit of yellow. Just bring that over here to the front, and let's go into
just a little blue, just to give it a darker color behind. That makes it look
like it's behind there. And don't be afraid to go over your leaf once or
twice. It's not going to hurt anything. The second one I want to do is just a
short tapered leaf. So again into the green, into the blue, I just like the
combination of those two colors together. And let's bring a little line up here,
maybe one over here, and just again reload. Now when I work, and I give these
video lessons, it's like, I am working in slow motion, because I'm not a fast
painter, I'm not a fast teacher, so you'll just have to get used to my
slow ways! Anyway, to do a tapered leaf let's start right here. Touch and pull,
touch and pull. Wow, that one didn't turn out! Sorry. Let's do that one again.
Well not the same one, but we'll do another one. Okay, let's try this one
again. Touch, and you've got to get that curl in there, that's the thing. And try
this. You might find that your curl works best if you turn it to the right,
maybe turn it to the left, I don't know you'll just have to
experiment. See what works best for you. Not everybody paints the same.
And also, keep in mind this is only my rendition of what I do. This is not
somebody else's work. This is only what I do, and it may be right or wrong, I don't
know. I'm not an expert believe me! Foral painting is probably one of my
biggest weaknesses. I've always had a very difficult time with floral. This one
would be just maybe up, that turned out pretty well.
Okay I've reloaded again. Maybe this time I'm picking up a little more blue. Let's
go over here, we'll just go right over the top of this one. Wow!
See? Now for some reason, those two came out weird,
both of them. Oh well, we'll just forget it. Just continued on. This is not a
masterpiece. This is more like a practice session!
This is a shorter taper leave.
I can't hardly stand this one, I got to go over it one more time. I may ruin it,
but that hey, that's okay! Let's go, let's do this, and this one will just, didn't
work anyway. Okay, not to worry. We'll just continue on. Next I want to show you
probably my favorite favorite floral filler. And that's just, I don't know if
you want to call it an evergreen, hmm I don't know what you'd call it. Just a
fern maybe? Anyway, all it is, is just little strokes. And you can curl it as
you're working, this just makes a great fill for a bouquet. You can bring another
one out. Let's go into, see I'm running out of paint because it's getting very pale.
Let's go into some blue, oh yeah, that's pretty!
Maybe this one comes out here. You can just do anything with this fern, or this
pine needle, or whatever you want to name it.
Yeah that's good. I like that. Okay. One more I want to show you, and you know
I don't know what it's called. I've heard, I hear a lot of people refer
to it as a wiggle wiggle. I personally don't understand that, but
that's what they say it is! So let's just go down here, let's bring this over, and
when I'm doing this particular line, I'm pressing very very very lightly. How do I
want to do this one. Let's go over here. Anyway called a wiggle wiggle. I like to
call it, just if I were gonna name it, I'd call it a pussy willow. So what it is, if
you just, you take your brush, you put it in, slight wiggle, and up. Look at that
design. Isn't that neat? And to me it does, it looks like pussy willows! You ever
seen a pussy willow? Ah, not enough paint, see I didn't get
enough paint on there. But you can add different colors in here.
I thought that was, I love this one too! That's probably my second favorite one.
let's go grab a little blue this time. Okay we'll start at the top,
really pretty when you put pinks in here.
And see when I do this, I just touch, press, slight wiggle, and up. And that's
all there is to that one. I just love that isn't that cool? let's put some
grass is down here. I mean this needs something doesn't it? look so bland
down here. So there you go. Now we're in the field. Okay so now
you're asking me what can I possibly do with all those leaves? Well let's see
what we can do. Okay dip into your oil, go into your green, we're just going to play
right now, just play is all. And we're going to use the same things that we
just went through. Let's put in a tapered leaf here. Oh nice, I like that pale color.
And let's put one here.
A little more oil, go back in and load the brush again, and let's go over here
and let's just do this.
Let's put a little blue in there.
let's do a, just a more oil here.
Would you guys let me know if you like the way this is working with, I have my
camera a little bit different this time, I have my paints here. I don't know if
it's easier for you to see what I'm doing this way? I'm hoping that, that I'm
hoping that that's going to happen, but I don't know. So, you just let me know,
just yes, yes it worked you liked it, or no, you didn't like it.
Okay, so let's do let's do the generic leaf here.
Reload.
Maybe I could even have, let's do maybe one up here.
Not quite enough paint. And this one should be laid out this way more. There
that's better. How about, oh I know. Let's do this, and
this, and this, we'll do like three colors. Let's do, let's do something out this
away, and let's have a leaf here, well let's let's do this one first.
I like that. All just different colors, just playing, playing, playing, playing.
Let's do, actually let's have this come over this way.
There, and let's go into some more green and
blue, and let's have, let's have one of these tapered leaves over here.
Let's go into some blue, green, gosh I have so much paint left over, and I just
use the tiniest little dippy dab. Let's do a little, that little taper leaf here.
Let's go out.
Oh, I mess up on that one every time! I don't know if it's because I'm a left-hander
or what the deal is, but I sure don't like it! However, I'm dealing with it. See
even professionals make mistakes! There that turned out nice, and then just
maybe a little one at the top. Yeah, I like them, like that. Okay, maybe a little
crimson, ooh, crimson should go nice here. See you can
play with a little bit of color. Oh yeah, that's nice!
Okay, and I think maybe let's just do just a teensy one here.
Like I said this is just playing, this is just for fun! What else have we got to do,
right? Just get those brushes out and just let them go crazy. Okay, and you know
maybe you just want to do this, and this, and just grab some colors, and maybe a
little yellow, and we'll just put in a vase. Just to contain, well let's put a
bigger one in there, my goodness let's put a bigger one.
There! So that's what you can do with your foliage just play. Just have fun!
Oh my goodness I didn't finish this little spot right here. I really need to
do that. So back into the oil. What could we put there? Let's do when it too much.
Sorry. It's easy to get too much. Going to a little pink, and some blue, now I'm just
using up my colors. Yeah that's okay. And let's just do a couple of these because,
this right here, will just hit,
I guess that's why they call these fillers. There, now I can call it done, Oh
no! No, I know what I wanted to show you guys! It would be fun just to put a
couple of little daisies in there. So into the oil and into white. And let's do
one right here, how about right here, one, two, three. One, two, three, four, five, more
white, let's hit that one again because it didn't come out very bright.
And one there, there, and there
A little more white, because I think it would be nice to have another Daisy
maybe right here. 1 2 3, 1 2 3 4 5 6. I'm wiping off my brush in between because
it's picking up a lot of the green.
Yeah, let's just do maybe one right, how about right here. One, two, three.
I'm just pressing, just, well let me wipe the brush again. Remember, I'm not a
floral painter! I am just dabbling at this! Okay, and then you want to have just
a little bit of center in those. So maybe a little crimson, a little yellow, just
mix those together and that kind of makes an orange.
And just dab in the center, right there, there, a little more crimson, there, one
here, there. Okay. Then that's all I'm gonna do on that one. Well I hope you
enjoyed our little session this evening. I really had fun doing this. And, don't
forget to look at Sayanti Fine Art link that I'm going to put down below. And
anyway, we'll see you next month. I'm not sure what I want to be doing yet, but
it'll be something! Okay, well I have a great month. Bye bye
