PAINTING VIDEO DESCRIPTION – Are you a beginner painter? Want to learn how to paint with acrylics? Looking for an easy Valentine’s Day painting idea? Let me be your acrylic art instructor as I teach you easy step-by-step instructions throughout this fun beginner art video as you learn how to paint this surreal springtime landscape with adorable characters “Love Gnomes”. Gary and Gretta were Highschool sweethearts. After graduation and going their separate ways for college where Gary got his degree in Bingo and Casino Management and Gretta studied to become an Art Therapist and Professional Cuddler, the two suddenly met up by happenstance at a Taylor Swift concert near the hot dog stand outside Gate B on level 4. It was like magic as they both tried ordering the double stuffed gouda cheese waffle dog with extra chili at the same time and the two have been inseparable ever since. After many years of marriage, the two are still very much in love and continue to celebrate Valentine’s Day with much excitement. Trips to romantic cities such as Las Vegas, Venice, and Paris, surf n turf dinners, chocolates imported from Switzerland, couple’s massages, Go kart racing, Escape Rooms, and plenty of red roses. In this romantic painting, these two love birds are blissfully galloping on their way to Cirque Du Soleil for Valentine’s Day. Having just finished a delicious desert of a brioche bun filled with pistachio ice cream, Gary buys a red rose form a vendor before the show starts. A truly romantic fairytale love story, Gary and Greta can warm the hearts of many. So, join me and capture the essence of love that these two life mates possess. You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this romantic and heart-felt image of cute little gnomes racing across a field of flowers and roses. Hearts float and surround the lovers as they gaze blissfully into each other's eyes. You’ll learn about proportions as you learn how to draw an outline for two little fairy dwarfs using a simple dot to dot drawing method. With the colors of love, you’ll learn how to paint clothing, hats and shoes with ease by layering colors and adding highlights and shadows to create form and movement. You’ll learn how to blend and create skin tones that will show dimension and contours with realistic colors. You’ll learn how to paint hair and give it volume and texture using a one brushstroke technique. You'll learn how to draw and paint rose flowers, grass, vines and leaves with details and perspective using a simple layering technique with carefree impressionistic brushstrokes that will define the small details and add texture and contrast to the elements. Use your imagination and customize this in your own personal way. Paint any type of flower you want whether it’s a tulip, lily, carnation, orchid, bird of paradise, sunflower, peony, hydrangea, or daisy. Using only 3 brushes and 7 colors, you’ll paint this professional storybook fantasy style image! Have a date night at home, paint party, paint and sip event, or virtual paint night. Paint with gouache, oil paint, or watercolor, any medium will work! Paint just for fun or for art therapy. It's an easy art project.
