Acrylic Painting and Blending // Beginner

Rainbow Magical Forest Tutorial Step by Step BEGINNER / INTERMEDIATE

Welcome to my class. My name is Natasha Keeto. I will show you step by step how to create this painting. This is for a beginner level or anyone who would like to practice with blending.

Painting and Drawing are NOT the same thing. You can still paint even if you feel that you cannot draw. Trust me. There are plenty of people who excel at painting, and will not touch a pencil with a 10 foot pole. I encourage you to at least try to take my class and I promise you will surprise yourself. Have fun with this painting and add more or less of your own ideas and most of all just have fun and let loose.

LET'S GO!!

Materials Needed:

1. Paint pallet or a disposable plate.

2. Blow dryer: for quicker drying in between layering of paint.

3. 4 Brushes:

4. 1 extra large older square tip brush with course bristles if you have one, 1 large square tips brush, 1 fine tip brush to make fine lines and 1 extra fine tip brush also to make fine lines

5. Primer to prime the canvas. Any Primer is okay. I used Gesso Artist Loft brand.

6. Acrylic paint: I used the Apple Barrel Brand, but any acrylic brand is okay. Try to find one with nice opaque coverage, especially for the white.

7. Canvas used: I used a thin 14 X 12 Canvas.

8. Old washcloth for drying paint brushes between use.

Acrylic Paint Colors Used:

White, Black, Pink/Magenta, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple
