This lovely painting looks like a watercolor but is actually painted using acrylics. Any of the paintings in my online library can be created using acrylics instead of watercolors. If you'd like to learn how to make this swap then be sure to watch this one-hour video lesson.
You'll learn what acrylic paint colors to choose to create this pretty daisy painting and how to make it look as though it was painted using watercolors.
In this video lesson you will learn how to create:
- a pastel-colored background
- speckles in the background
- whispy stems and simple leaves
- pretty white daisies using three different paint brushes
When you have finished this class you will have a beautiful painting to hang on your wall, to give as a gift, or to sell.
