Painting With Yovette, How to Paint Cluster Flowers, Oil
Well Hello everybody! This is the female Bob Ross descending from heaven! It's
just a joke of course, happy Halloween! And I'm so glad you could join me today
today. We're going to be painting cluster flowers and I'm really excited to bring
this to you. I hope you're going to enjoy it and so, and well, let's just go ahead
and get started. Okay to get started here's a list of the supplies. We have at
the top the thinner and then we have the oil paint medium I'm using Bob Ross
brand but if you have another brand that you like go ahead and use that I have a
small palette knife a one-inch brush two floral brushes and two half-inch bright
brushes which are the flat. And if I also have the colors, it is the titanium
white ultramarine blue SAP green turquoise mauve or mauve whichever you
prefer alizarin crimson magenta and yellow. I
also have a little container for holding the oil medium and then I also see I
have a blue paper towel under the brushes that's something that I found
that's really absorbent and very nice because it doesn't give lint and I've
seen several people on YouTube using it so I thought well I'll give it a try and
see what happens. So anyway so that's that's all the supplies. Now sometimes
before I start a painting I will just start sketching and I'll just lay out
some designs and here's one of them that I laid out. Okay here's another painting
this one's just done on paper I do paper a lot because it's easy throw away.
Here's another one that turned out kind of pretty this one I put a little
container under the flowers kind of like the colors
of those flowers. Here was just a small one that I thought turned out kind of
cute now I really like the colors in this one. Okay to start I'm going to take just
eat one of these blue towels and fold it in quarters and I'm going to dip into my
medium I'm just going to cover my canvas I have quite a bit I have maybe well I
think I started out with like a tablespoon of oil medium in here and I'm
just going to wipe over my canvas. Now always I sand and my canvases and gesso
them over again because I like a really smooth canvas. If yours is a rough canvas
don't worry about it just go ahead and use it anyway but the reason I do that
is because it saves so much wear and tear on my brushes and I love that! I
don't like to ruin my brushes. So anyway just a light even coat of just thin oil
medium or whatever medium you have. These towels are nice I like them because they
do not leave lint. Sometimes I use Viva paper towels most of the time because I
those are pretty much lint free too but these are even better. Okay so now I have
a thin even coat on here set that back down. Okay first thing you want to do is
take my 1 inch brush and I'm going to go into just a little bit of yellow and I
want to maybe just that put the tips of that in there just to have a little bit
on my brush. Okay so a little yellow and I mean very little yellow
because we're just barely tinting and a touch of crimson.
Just sort of a kind of a like a sunshiny color. Let's try that yeah that's nice
see it just barely barely shows up that's all I want just something that
barely shows up.
Now I'm standing to do this painting so I hope in my head doesn't keep bumping,
that happens every once in a while. Okay
just a slight bit of yellow maybe just a touch more yellow
yeah like that pretty. okay.
Now with the same brush I want to go into some blue and let's see what colors
do I want, maybe a little green, blue and green, touch of oil medium
okay. And I'm thinking that I'm going to have maybe the small cluster here a
little cluster here and a little cluster here and they'll be sort of almost like
three different colors but in the meantime I want to have a little bit of
greenery on the edges and this is just criss crossy strokes you just want to put
this in, this is just going to be on the outside of the flowers this kind of
almost like a it'll be turn out to be kind of like a shadow color.
If you get some streaks in here don't worry about it just fuzz them out.
I'm kind of going a little bit off to the edges here.
Ya know I like that. Now where I'm gonna have some leaves I want to probably make
this just a hair darker.
not very much just a little bit and since I clusters maybe right here just
sort of thinking to myself and maybe I'll have one down here and maybe a
cluster over here. So in that case I'm going to have a little bit darker right
here,
and I think also a little bit darker over here,
and maybe right here.
Yeah I like that well that blue is beautiful in there the blue is what
really really darkens an area. Okay good a little more blue I like it right here
okay just sort of lightly just go over everything just make sure it's all
blended in. Now this is a 12 by 16 canvas and this actually this time is canvas
board it's not actually actual canvas so anyway okay set the one-inch brush aside
and go pick up one of your half-inch brushes. Now I have this one's a Bob Ross
brush but I do have a couple of others that I use mainly because I'm going to
be, wanted, I'm going to want to be changing colors, so the first thing I
want to do is dip into my oil medium. I want to get that oil into my brush and
I'm think the first color I'm going to choose is like blue I really like the
blue, and you know like hydrangeas or geraniums or whatever any kind of a
cluster flower, a lot of times you'll find they come in different colors so
anyway just kind of crisscross crisscross your strokes just making a
cluster here and I do want it deeper in the center and sort of on this lower
edge and the reason is because see my yellow my Sun will be coming in this way
so I want that
and maybe a touch of crimson
and a touch of white just to lighten that just a tiny bit and this comes out
to sort of a purplish color let's add a little pink just play with these colors
oh you can you can just come up with your own colors and just make anything!
See and just keep it real loose just crisscross and here and there I think
this time I want to go into more blue
a little medium more blue and how about a little mauve, ooh pretty!
hmm, oh how about some of this, mmm oh yeah that's gorgeous!
Look at how that changed it
and see just crisscross just just making little streaks here and there. These are
going to be little petals, okay wiping my brush off slightly I want to
go into let's say I want something very dark so how about alizarin crimson and
blue very very dark. I want the dark right down here. Good.
And this can this can overlap, it's okay
wiping off the brush again maybe a little white right up here. And now I
just I'm just playing with colors here. I'm just kind of mixing and just fooling
around basically.
And I want to darken this over here, you've got to be sure and have the dark in here.
I wonder how many of you actually love doing flowers, flowers it's not my
favorite thing to do and I'm not, I'm really really not very good at it, but
you know I just keep struggling with it, I just keep trying, eventually someday
it's gonna work out for me. But if it doesn't that's okay too because my real
love is landscapes I just adore landscapes. So anyway okay we'll call
that good. I'm just going to set that brush down and now I'm going to go into
filbert brush, I want to pick up a filbert brush, again I want to wet it
with medium, and let's go into some white, now notice I have three piles of white
here, that's because I'm going to be sort of tinting them. So this first one I'm
going to tint oh, how about pink that would be pretty.
Tint it just a little pink.
And I'm going to go into the blue flower with this pink just because I think that
would look nice. Now when you're going to do these cluster petals, you just sort of,
just they kind of go every which way, there's no rhyme nor reason to them.
Every once in a while you'll see something that goes together like that,
maybe here, here and it's like a 1 2 3 and then a little crisscross and maybe
here, and maybe there's only two petals here
maybe a pedal, and a pedal, and a loose pedal, see the pedal is just, you can
just stick them anywhere. Let's have a few just dropping out here.
Now that's pretty! Okay wipe the brush. I'm going to go into medium again and this
time I'm going to go into how about some blue this time and into the white and
again we're just going to go on the outside here, one two three cross, this
can go into the pink that's not a problem.
And these outer edges, see you want these little pieces to stick out every once in
a while.
Can be two or three petals. These are just suggestions they're not really
really really petals at all.
And see if I always got this little bit of white on the brush so the white
does show off, it does show up, and I like that okay,
and for this one let's do maybe a little hmm how about a little mauve into the
white because remember they're just all different colors.
Oh pretty!
And if you feel your brush is getting low with paint then just go ahead and
add some more.
Okay and I'm going to set this brush aside now because I'm done with this. Now
I want to grab my my secondary flat brush, my my excuse me, my half inch brush
into the medium and this time let's get rid of this grit this red here I don't
want that there. Okay dip into the oil medium and let's go into some blue and
green and I want to have, we did some dark down here, so let's do a leaf down
here.
Now I did a video on doing leaves previously which you can you can refer
to. Not quite slick enough here, this has to be really slippery and actually I'm
going to add maybe a touch of yellow because that's an awful deep green. I
don't want it quite that deep. There that's better. Okay.
Okay let's have another one maybe we'll do two of them right here.
Okay do you remember how we did those?
More medium green blue maybe this one's over well no let's do this one.
They're pretty, I like that.
Make sure you, the reason, the way you can tell if you have enough medium is it
will feel very slippery when you're pulling your brush. If you don't have
enough medium it's gonna drag and it's going to feel really really strange. I
think here let's go ahead and have three leaves I'm just gonna crisscross here
and here maybe one here you can tell and being really careful huh? Not! Okay again
reload this is just using blue and green if you want to use some different colors
that's fine.
Well let's do one here.
Oh, those are turning out very nice. We could do one more here.
That one's sticking up a little bit more that's good, that kind of breaks it up a
little bit. I think I want to call that good. Okay now that brush where we're
going to take it, just kind of wipe it off on a paper towel, and to go into
some medium, and this time I want to go into some yellow. Make sure feels nice
and slippery, and because my light is coming in here
we're going to hit the left side of the leaves.
I'm hoping this is not too blurry for you. Okay so the left side of the leaves
just a little bit
on this side
and how about here whoops there see I'm just hitting the tips wipe that off
because I'm getting that kind of gooey, I
want to keep my yellow so let's go in this side,
and this side,
see how that kind of brought that leaf forward? Let's go into, let's see where
would the light be hitting here? Maybe hmm maybe just on the tips
like so, yeah I think that's good.
Okay wipe that brush off really good
and you can even squeeze that out if you want. I don't like to use a lot of
thinner because I've got the oil medium down underneath, so now I want to wet
this brush again, and this time I want to go into turquoise, oh I love this
turquoise blue! Gorgeous, just a gorgeous gorgeous color. Right down here, so maybe
this leaf is kind of curling so this would be more on the underside there
reload this would be on the underside,
reload again, now this one you wouldn't see too much, but a little bit, and over
here,
there.
Not sure which one is supposed to be going over there, I think we better put
that yellow one back over there,
because that yellow one I like the yellow one overlapping.
So we'll just hit that one again, yeah that's better.
Okay and I sort of messed this up didn't I?
There okay, okey-dokey. Next I want to do just a little bit of a stem here,
kind of make a little bit of a curve,
Okay that's good.
I'm going to put that brush aside now and I'm going to go back to my filbert
that had some blue and purple and all the different colors on it, and what I
want to do is make some more of these little things because they're kind of
cute! So let's go into a little blue and maybe there's just a few of them out
here,
maybe a couple little darker blue, whoops me been darker than that,
see you're kind of breaking up that edge making a sort of so it's just not all
just a little ball.
A little bit of purplish,
yeah there, turned out very nice. Okay now I'm going to wipe the brush off, that's
all I'm doing it's just wiping the excess off. Now, ah, matter of fact I'm
going to get a clean brush because now I want to go into pure white, and so, get
the brush wet
and let's see, we'll go into this, Oh this sort of a, how about this one turquoise.
First we'll go into this pull out the white
and this time this is your highlight you want this, you'll have a little spot in
each flower that's highlighted, and so what you want to do is make one
beautiful flower, so one two three four. There's one, and maybe there's one here,
and maybe there's one here,
and if you start seeing your tips get dirty just wipe it off, go back into
fresh white, maybe there's one here, maybe there's a just a couple of highlights
here and there, but you want to keep the focus right in the middle there, okay.
More medium, and let's go into more white but this time we'll go in this blue
and we'll make one nice flower, and maybe one here, and here,
maybe here,
okay?
And last, but not least, our pink. I love that pink, but pink and white mostly
white, and we'll have one here, well let's go right about here, here here here here. I
picked up a lot so I'm going to wipe off the brush. Medium again, back into the
white, and if that didn't come out white enough like this really did not come out
as much as I wanted, okay I'm just going to hit it again, there! More white and
pink and maybe there's one here and see sometimes you can you can hit your the
flat of your brush like this and then sometimes you can hit the side and it
still makes the impression of a flower even though it's not the whole flower.
Now remember I'm no expert at flowers I doodle around, and once I get into it I
really have a good time, I just really enjoy it, but boy getting me into it is
really a difficult job. Okay. Well let's call that good because I
don't want to highlight too much otherwise it becomes distracting. But
what I would like to do now is load this brush again with white, excuse me
with medium, make sure it's wet, maybe that was a little too much, okay let's go
into this blue and white here. Now do you remember how we made daisies before? I
think daisies just look fantastic in here, so let's do one let's do one here
well let's do one facing this way. One two three, load again one two three
four five six. There's a cute Daisy. Okay back into your
white, maybe there's one up here facing this way,
that picked up green so I'm just wiping it off a little,
so we've got one daisy facing this way one Daisy facing this way and I need to
highlight that a little bit more
because it picked up really a lot of green. There that's better. Okay more
white more white let's have another Daisy where will we put it how about
down here let's have it facing this way,
be sure and wipe your brush off a lot in between.
I'd like one over here, and we'll have it facing out this way,
and that is just lonely I don't want to do anything more than that that's that's
plenty. So wipe the brush off, and with your yellow just pure yellow, just dip
your brush in, just, can you see that little bit of a little bit of paint
there? Just a dippy dab, all we're gonna do is just touch, now I only want
to do the clusters, wipe it off, reload, little yellow not all the
clusters but just pick out a few that you think would probably have a little
bit of a center. That's probably good, and then with that, wipe off again, and
then with that yellow and crimson you'll get that sort of a orange color, a little
more yellow,
and that's a daisy center. So Daisy Center
And I think that's it! So, that's my rendition of how to do a
cluster flower. There's probably people out there that do a lot better job,
they're a lot prettier, but this is this is the way I paint then. So I see one
thing I want, you can always go back in this medium, when I dip into the medium
like that a lot of times it's just for cleaning my brush. It just gets the
excess paint when you want to change a color. I saw something here, oh yeah, I see
it. I saw a flower here that I thought needed a more touch up. There that's
better. Okay, well I'm gonna call that good. So
all we need to do is sign it somewhere, and there you go!
Well we've come to a closed of another video, and I sure hope you enjoyed this
one, and I hope you pick up brushes and try cluster flowers, they're really a lot
of fun once you get into them, it just may take a little bit of coaching, but
they're really fun to do. And I also want to say if I offended anybody with my Bob
Ross impersonation I'm really sorry because that's the last thing I want to
do is hurt anybody, it was all just for fun because Halloween is going to be
here before we know it! So anyway please forgive if I offended. Also I wanted to
apologize for my head and my hand getting in the way in this video, after I
was able to view it I saw so many things wrong, so I'm gonna have to work on that
camera angle. So my apologies now for that, and I will work on it and see if I
can't fix that. And also I wanted to thank you for subscribing to my channel
and for being friends, and writing the emails, and sending me wonderful
photographs of your paintings, I just love that! I really enjoy communicating
with you on the comments below my videos, and you're just wonderful people out
there! just really enjoy you and thank you so
much for being friends! Also I have not forgotten all the requests that I've had
for doing paintings like the red candle, that's on my list, and roses is on my
list, an owl, mountains, more trees, more water, rocks, I've had so many requests it's
just going to take me a little time to get to it all, but I will!
So anyway well I guess that's all. I blabbered on enough. You have a great day.
Bye bye
