VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This is a time-lapsed version on how to paint this whimsical seasonal winter image of "HEADING NORTH" with acrylic paint. You can watch the full length version here: [ Ссылка ]

You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this festive snowy landscape image with a sweet fluffy penguin carrying a suitcase to his next destination through a winter wonderland with a starry night sky. The penguin walks with a sense of excitement making sure he reads the sign and goes in the right direction with an innocent tender expression on his adorable face that is looking a little flush with the rosy cheeks. Surrounded by snow-capped rolling hills in this winter night landscape, the cuddly cartoon character is ready to embark on his next adventure while the stars twinkle bright in the sky helping him to see in the dark. You'll learn how to paint an image with a storyline narrative that illustrates a creative childlike look and feel. You'll learn to create dimension in the shape of the bird with a simple layering technique to create contours to show the form in the body and texture in the feathers. You'll also learn how to create realistic looking snow with a blending application process. Use your imagination and customize this to resemble your favorite snow animal or person, make it a snowman, an elf, a boy or a girl, or a whole family of winter critters. Put a top hat on it, or a scarf and mittens, perhaps a cardinal bird could be sitting on the pole, or paint a huge snow storm blizzard... just have fun with it! With the sign showing him the way to a fun new day, you'll be able to paint this image that will be a little magical and realistic at the same time, making for a beautiful painting to decorate your home for the winter holiday season. Not only will you have fun with the simple construction process, but you'll also learn some valuable lessons along the way that you can use in future work! Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a crisp winter chill and an adorable, sweet, charming and handsome little penguin as he leaves his footprints in the snow as evidence of the road he has traveled in this cold weather. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
