Learn How to Paint SPOTLIGHT BALLERINA with Acrylic - Paint and Sip at Home - Step by Step Tutorial

VIDEO DESCRIPTION This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to draw and paint this realistic silhouette portrait image of "SPOTLIGHT BALLERINA" with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic portrait of a woman sitting on the edge of a performance stage holding a yellow rose with her large tutu skirt laying on the floor around her. The bright spot light and large shadow on the floor will create depth in the room as her skin and edges of the tulle fabric are illuminated by the glow of the light. This female figure is poised and posed in a quiet position as she reflects on the show in front of the crowded audience filling the seats of the theatre. With her hair tucked tight up in a bun with the head band and her dress perfectly placed, she awaits the first beats of the musical song. You can imagine the space to be a dance studio, performing stage, or an auditorium where the dramatic light creates a captivating ambiance. The painting will come to life with the dimension on the clothing and on her skin as you learn how to add shape and form by building thin layers of color on the sides of the face, arms, head and dress with the use of properly placed highlights and shadows. The painting will look natural and 3d with realistic elements, and certain pieces will appear to pop out of the canvas with a real photo quality. With a perfectly proportioned figure and realistic form in the skin and body, the feminine person will look like she’s ready to flit off the stage on her tippy toes in her pink ballerina shoes. The brilliant color on the yellow rose gives the piece a lively sense of beauty with a poetic feel. With the construction of the composition you'll learn to paint this realistic looking dreamy image with many symbolic suggestions of being ready, being strong, being inspired, or just being the best you can be. Creativity is always encouraged, just have fun with it! This painting is sure to impress the viewer and compliment the décor of any room. Using only 3 brushes and 5 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a magnificent lively dancer who has a charming tranquil beauty. So, let's get painting and let's get sipping!
