How to paint an easy Mottled Background – Acrylic tutorial and blending exercise

In this tutorial I’m demonstrating how to paint a mottled background. This ia a very easy tutorial but serves 2 different purposes:

1) It is a very versatile background to use for a variety of subjects like painting wildlife or still-life or portraits

2) 2) this serves as an excellent practice to improve your blending skills with acrylics
