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

VIDEO DESCRIPTION This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this realistic dancer portrait image of "BALLERINA ROSE" with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic portrait still life with the pointed feet of a ballerina dancing next to a beautiful rose with a shiny reflection in the floor and great depth in the room with a distant wall receding as it becomes out of focus. This female ballerina is poised and posed in her best pointed stance as she rises from her fourth or fifth position. Imagine the space to be a dance studio, performing stage, or an auditorium where the light is coming from a sunny window or a spotlight casting a glow on the lady and her flower. The painting will come to life with the shimmering satin slippers and the pretty petals on the pink rose. You'll learn how to add dimension in the skin on the legs and feet with the use of properly placed highlights and shadows with a perfect delicate skin tone, and in the flower with a layering technique. You'll also learn how to paint reflections on the floor using a repetitive color pattern technique that will separate each petal. The painting will look natural and 3d with the realistic elements, and certain pieces will appear to pop out of the canvas with a real photo quality. With perfectly proportioned body parts and realistic form in the calves, ankles and feet, the feminine person will look like she’s ready to flit off the stage on her tippy toes. The brilliant color on the silky shoes and the vibrant flower, 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 a gorgeous flower laying on the wood surface next to the feet of an award winning dancers instrument. 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 2 brushes and 7 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a magnificent lively dancer and a charming tranquil beauty. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
