In this class, I will show you how to paint beautiful Sunflowers using Acrylic colors. This is a semi-realistic painting class, because it is not exactly like a real sunflower. But, I've explained a fun and an easy way of painting Sunflowers. 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 and then I'll teach you some basic brush strokes;
- Then, I explain you how to choose the right colors using a reference photo.
- Then I'll be teaching you how to transfer the design to the canvas.
- After that, we will paint a Sunflower using our reference.
- Finally, I'll teach you a fun way of experimenting the techniques by showing you how to paint a Sunflower floral wreath. (I included this project to teach you to paint sunflowers in all angles.)
When you're done watching the class, you'll be able to able to paint Sunflowers based on your own reference photo. This is absolutely a fun class!
