Primary Summer Trio is a combination of three acrylic painting tutorials based on a favorite summer flower and with a different primary color. By focusing on each flower separately, you are able to learn the differences in color variations and mixtures, how light and shadow are affected by petal shapes, how negative space is painted to create softer or faded edges, how to create the differences in leaf shapes and colors, how to choose background colors, and how to approach painting the textures of each plant container. You'll come away with three unique pieces to save as a collection or to give away as gifts!
These tutorials provides a detailed breakdown of each stage, from the initial sketch to the final touches.
Each painting tutorial comes with a PDF file of resource images, a supply list and templates for tracing flower image onto the canvas.
The skill level for the Primary Summer Trio is appropriate for all levels from the beginner to advance.
In these tutorials, the focus is on the bold color and loose styled brushstrokes, eliminating the struggle of making it "look real".
The video is filmed in high definition and there are close-ups shots for detail work so that you can see the instructions more clearly. Color mixing and brush application is clear and easy to follow along.
By taking these tutorials of a loose styled floral painting, you can develop your skills in color mixing, light and shadow, textures, composition, brushwork, and observational abilities. You will gain a deeper understanding of acrylic painting techniques and concepts while exploring the beauty and uniqueness of each flower.
Acrylic Paint - Any professional quality paint is recommended. I used Golden Heavy Body Acrylics.
Brushes - Flat sizes: 3/4 inch, 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch and a small scrip liner brush for detail work.
Canvas - Three canvases size 6x6 inches each AND pre-gessoed with two coats of professional quality gesso.
Palette: I used a Masterson's Sta-Wet palette OR you can use any sealable container to seal your paint after each painting session so it will not dry out.
Miscellaneous - Water bowl and Paper towels.
