You always wanted to paint landscape, but didn't, coz you don't know to paint trees? Then, this is the class you are looking for!!
In this class, I will show you how to paint beautiful trees using Acrylic colors. The class is loaded with a lot of tips and tricks that would help you to get started.This class is perfect for anyone who likes to begin his/her journey in acrylics and also for those who knows the basics, but want to experiment more. Acrylics might seem challenging, since it dries too fast. But, it just takes a little bit of practice. That's it!
In the class,
- I start off with the supplies you'll need;
- We will do some fun exercises together to improve your flexibility and we will quikly go through some basics.
- Then you'll be painting with me 5 simple and tiny trees. This would give you an idea what the technique is all about.
- Then I will teach you to paint 2 advanced trees- Umbrella Pine and Birch Tree. This would give you confidence to paint any tree of your own by just observing its form and structure.
This is absolutely a fun class!
