Learn How to Paint "KIDS ON A BEACH" with Acrylic Paint - Paint and Sip at Home - Step by Step Video

PAINTING VIDEO DESCRIPTION – This painting tutorial will take you through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this beautiful seascape portraiture image of "KIDS ON A BEACH" with acrylic paint. What can be more heartwarming than bringing your kids to the beach and watching them run around, play in the sand, build sandcastles and splash in the ocean? The smile on their faces, the spring in their step, and the giddiness in their giggles, are all precious memories to hold on to for a lifetime. This endearing waterscape painting is meant to invoke sentiment and inspire creativity. Try to imagine your favorite beach that you would love to bring the little ones to; perhaps Cape Cod, Daytona, Malibu, Virginia, or Hampden, or anywhere else where you can catch some rays, relax and watch the kids play. Image the sounds of the seagulls, the ocean waves crashing and people laughing, the smells of barbeque and suntan lotion, and sight of the endless ocean and everyone having a good time. This painting has it all. The first lesson you’ll learn in this easy painting lesson is how to use simple painting techniques for blending the background for added depth and atmospheric dimension, using natural tropical ocean colors to create a warm and inviting feel to your canvas, the perfect day to go to the beach and bask in the sun, have a picnic, and watch the little children play in the sand. Then you’ll use a drybrush technique to create form to your gentle ocean waves for your toddlers to leap into. Then, after using a pencil to draw the outline for the children’s bodies, you’ll learn how to mix colors to create a skin tone of your preference which you will use to paint a base coat on your kids. The next art tip you’ll learn in this canvas painting lesson is how to create realistic looking dimension with properly placed highlights and shadows on the bodies of the young girl and boy to create contour and form, followed by layering colors to give your adorable brother and sister an impressionistic style realistic 3-D effect like a photograph. Then you’ll use these same techniques when painting hats and bathing suits. The simple painting methods and process can easily be used to customize this ocean scape painting. You could add more kids to the scene and have the whole Brady Bunch playing together, add more drama to the scenery by painting a sunrise or sunset, have the children sitting building sandcastles, paint your pet that you would bring to the beach, or a boat sailing by! The point is to have fun and make it your own. Using only 3 brushes and 7 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece that is sure to spark conversation and conjure up memories. Not just a beautiful painting, but and easy painting for beach lovers and beginners. So, let's get painting and let's get sipping!
