SIMPLE HOUSE

• Hello everyone, and greetings to all art lovers. Today, I’d like to take you on a tour of a home that is cool, breezy, and comfortable, featuring a large river, lush trees, and an abundance of flowering plants.

• For this project, I am using the drawing app ibis Paint X; it is easy to use and understand, offers a wide range of tools, and is perfect for beginners.
• Here, I am using a 1:1 aspect ratio (2048x2048) and the brush tool marked in red to create the initial sketch.

• In the initial stage, we create sketches of the house and yard, a boat, and other supporting elements using the brush marked in red.

• Next, we select the desired colors; here, I am using dark blue, light blue, brown, black, and green.

• Next, we use the smudge tool—marked in red above—to blend colors into a gradient or shading on the object.

• During the coloring stage, I colored the sky and clouds first—since they form the background—using blue and white; I then blended the colors to create a gradient effect on the clouds using the smudge brush tool (marked in red).

• Next, several green trees were added in the background.

• Next, we add color: blue for the house and dark red for the roof, and green for the plants; then, we blend it using a blending brush, as shown in the previous image.

• Next, add some color to the boat and a few grass-like shadows on the lawn; then, create a small garden using a standard brush tool with green paint, and add red flowers in the front yard.

• The final stage involves adding shadows to the river water and applying gradients to the roof.
