PLEASE NOTE: There were several glitches while recording this video series. Because of the problems Christmas Candle Acrylic Painting Tutorial will remain up for FREE indefinitely here and on Facebook @ArtOfTheGYPSY
Hello. I am known as The GYPSY and I will be your teacher for Christmas Candle which will be an Acrylic Painting based on a photograph of a Beautiful Candle Themed Christmas scene.
I picked this particular photograph to create an Acrylic Painting from because of it’s simplistic theme and dark hued tones which translate well into Acrylics. Also because it will display several technics used in Acrylic Painting. People, especially beginners, can learn many things when creating a painting that contains various tones of the same color elements.
Be sure to print off a copy of this photo https://www.artist-alley.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Christmas-Candle-scaled.jpeg to use as a reference point when we create this painting.
This is a beginner tutorial. However anyone at any skill level will enjoy this instructional, interactive video tutorial. Whether you are just beginning to explore the Artist Life or you are fully immersed in the world of art this is a laid back, safe space where you can learn about painting while having fun in the process!
If you’ve already participated in a painting class with The GYPSY, or are just considering it, this is the place for you! Internationally award winning artist The GYPSY will be sharing video tutorials, virtual paint nights, helpful painting techniques, exercises, positive reinforcement and basic skills to get you going on your own Artist Life.
