In this episode of #PaintLikeAPro I teach you how to show the light! I show you how to paint a light source by painting this bright candle flame. The same technique could be used to paint a flashlight, a campfire, a light bulb, or any other light source in your paintings.

If you have any questions about something I covered in this acrylic tutorial or maybe something I didn't cover I am more than happy to answer.

Materials I used:
- Golden Fluid Acrylics (carbon black, napthol red)
- Liquitex soft body acrylics (cad orange, Titanium white, hansa yellow light)
- Water for mixing with paint
- Round blender and scrumbling brushes from artist loft and princeton. Various other brushes I cover in the video.
