Iris in Acrylics Online Painting Class
In this video lesson, you will learn how to pour a brightly colored background using watered down acrylic paints. Then you'll learn to paint the Iris in acrylics using watercolor techniques.
If you are a watercolor painter you can use watercolors instead, using the same techniques. Just match the paint colors that will be listed in your printable instructions using your favorite brand of watercolor paints.
If you would prefer to take an online class where I use watercolors in the video, you might enjoy my Purple Iris painting class.
In this video lesson you will learn how to:
- pour thinned acrylic paint onto wet watercolor paper to create a stunning background
- use salt to create speckles in your painted background
- use water to remove the background color to create white highlights
- paint every petal, bud, beard, and leaf
- and more!
Throughout this 1 hour and 45-minute video tutorial, Louise will share her expert tips with you so that your painting looks just as amazing as hers.
When you have finished this class, you will have a beautiful floral to hang on your wall, to give as a gift, or to sell.
What can I expect in this video lesson?
Louise's calm teaching style will allow you to relax and enjoy your painting journey.
Louise paints at a pace that is easy to follow so you can paint right along with her. She'll show you how to paint every detail. You can start and stop the video as often as needed, rewinding, and fast-forwarding as need.
All of Louise's paintings can be created using either watercolors or acrylics.
