Black animals are notoriously hard to paint. Hidden among all that fur is a myriad of different colors. Join Alex as she guides you step by step to create a realistic acrylic painting of a black Labrador using warm and cool color combinations.
Alex will demonstrate simple techniques to give you the fundamental skills you need to create your very own painting including:
- Finding a reference photo and sketching this out onto your painting surface without the need for great drawing skills.
- Identifying all the materials you will need.
- Preparing your palette using a limited number of paint colors.
- Mixing complimentary colors to make blacks and greys.
- How to use warm and cool colors effectively in your painting.
- How to add layers, glazes and tonal shifts in your painting meaning you don’t have to paint every individual hair.
Alex will show you how to use dark, medium and light tones effectively in your painting to simplify down details. Hopefully by the end of the class you will have your very own masterpiece to proudly hang on the walls of your home.
