Learn How to Paint TITMOUSE AND TULIPS with Acrylic - Paint and Sip at Home - Step by Step Tutorial
VIDEO DESCRIPTION This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this spring inspired landscape image of “TITMOUSE AND TULIPS“ with a stunning out of focus forest, a glowing meadow, a delicate farm picket fence, a tiny tufted bird and some brilliant bold flowers. You’ll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to create this realistic piece of art with depth in the distant woods and in the wild grass, dimension in the petals and a sweet expression on the birds face. Holding onto the pointed post on the fence, the small bird is staring off into the distance wondering what the day will bring. You’ll learn to draw a basic outline of a small bird that’s standing tall. You’ll learn how to paint the flowers using a layering affect that will teach you how to use the value scale and you’ll learn to paint 3-d affects on the fence with a couple of simple lines. The strong posture of the bird with his fluffy feathers and tufted head will make you want to join him in this warm country landscape that is bursting with natural life and floral energy. Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we’ll create this conversational masterpiece inspired by bright summer colors and a tiny local bird with warm atmospheric dimension that is sure to compliment the wall of any home. So let’s get painting and let’s get sipping!
