An Introduction to Painting Sunflowers using Layers of Color

A real-time, acrylic painting lesson where I show you ways to get depth in your flowers. This is a great tutorial for the beginner and more experienced artist alike. I will show you some mistakes that I made while painting and how I corrected them.
I start with strong colors and darks and then build layers. I talk with you about things that I didn't like and how to adjust. It's a great way to learn!!
I hope this will give you confidence to begin using more layers of color in your floral paintings, rather than just using 1 or 2 colors. I think you'll be pleased with the results!

This channel is designed to encourage the beginner and more advanced artists. I believe if you can be taught to read and write, you can be taught to paint!
I will be posting a lot of tips and techniques. A main focus will be to help you IDENTIFY PROBLEM AREAS in your paintings and HOW TO CORRECT THEM. Subscribe today so you don't miss any new posts!
