In this online painting class, Louise will walk you through the step-by-step process of using a wet-on-wet technique to create a pretty pastel background and flowers. In this online video lesson, you'll learn to create pink hollyhock petals. You can paint light pink or dark pink petals or a combination of both.
You can use watercolors as Louise does in the class or acrylics. If you haven't used Louise's watercolor techniques with acrylic paint, be sure to check out any of her acrylic classes. The "Pink Wildflower" class is a perfect introduction to this technique. There's even an "Acrylic Daisies" painting class you can take before doing this class.
In this video lesson, you will learn the following:
- how to create a multi-colored background quickly and easily
- how to use masking fluid to create highlights on the petals and stamens
- how to create petal shapes using shadows and highlights
- how to use masking fluid to create bright highlights
- how to create grass blades and leaves
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.
