Holi Elephant Watercolor and Acrylic Mixed Media Painting Techniques for Beginners
I'm painting an elephant for Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors and talking about how to combine watercolor and acrylics and sponge painting and splattering paint for a #Holi powder like effect for the background.
I started by painting an elephant portrait in blue and red watercolor, painted the background black with acrylics and sponge painted and splattered colorful acrylic paints on the black background to depict Holi powders thrown in the sky. I also added colorful jewelry and decorations on the elephant.
