VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This is a TIME-LAPSED version on how to paint this seasonal animal portrait landscape image of "RACOON AND APPLE BARREL" with acrylic paint. You can watch the full length version here: [ Ссылка ]

You'll learn to draw a basic outline providing good structure and balance to the layout. Then, you'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic rustic wooden harvesting container overflowing with crisp red and yellow apples with a cute woodland creature peeking from behind. The change of seasons in the country from summer to fall brings along a time of crop gathering on the farms, fun family activities and vibrant autumn colors. In this painting you will learn how to create an out of focus forest farm background, a bushel of brilliant shiny fruit and a small animal with a curious expression on his face. Using color theory to guide us through mixing various colors, we'll develop depth in the old wooden barrel, form in the shapes of the apples and texture in the racoons fur. This painting is created in an impressionistic style using loose brush strokes, simple blending techniques and a little stippling for added volume in certain areas. You could use your imagination to customize this image to represent a distinct type of apple, such as Granny Smith, Red Delicious, McIntosh, Fuji, Gala or Honey Crisp. Or you could change the animal to a squirrel, cat, pig, goat, dog, possum or even a hedgehog. It could be a sunrise, or a sunset with a blue sky or clouds floating by. You'll learn how to paint this landscape image filled with crisp notes of the Autumn season leading up to winter. Using simple painting techniques to add color contrast, as well as highlights and shadows, you'll bring the image to life with a 3-d photo realistic quality. You'll learn how to utilize a dark background for an easy way to add dimension to the form and shape of the animal. The bold vibrant colors add an excitement to the piece, but allow it to have a sense of quiet stillness allowing the viewer to let their imagination bring them to a nostalgic moment in their life. With the construction of the composition you'll have fun with the simplicity of the process, but you'll also learn some valuable lessons that you can utilize in future work! This painting is sure to impress the viewer and compliment the décor of any room. Using only 3 brushes and 7 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a magnificent lively seasonal energy. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
