VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This is a TIME LAPSE version on how to paint this lovely tranquil landscape image of "INFINITY ZEN ROCKS" with acrylic paint. You can watch the free full length version here: [ Ссылка ]

You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic natural looking body of water with a pile of balancing spiritual rocks as the focal point with bamboo and white flowers accenting and framing the image. You can picture this to be spring or summer, early morning or mid-day, on a pond, stream, river, in a lake inlet, or nestled in a secluded garden. You'll learn how to add atmospheric dimension in the sky and in the ripples of the water by painting in a loose abstract style using complimentary colors in the water giving the illusion of a reflection from the rocks and the bamboo shoots. You'll learn how to paint texture elements on the rocks, flower petals and leaves with sunshine being the light source providing powerful highlights and shadows throughout the composition allowing for a real photo quality. The soft out of focus sky may give the illusion of drifting clouds, mist, fog, or haze giving a calming Zen feel to the painting bringing quiet stillness in this tranquil natural scene. With the construction of the composition you'll learn to paint this realistic looking outdoor waterscape with strong stones, captivating green plants and delicate white flowers along the edge that are reflecting their unique style into the water. You can customize it to be the representation of prayer, spirit, Zen, Buddha, cairns, Baikal, Japanese, yoga or any style rocks that you would like, or any style bamboo stalks or tiny little tropical looking flowers that interest you. Make it your own with pink or orange flowers, or six bamboo shoots instead of 4… just have fun with it! 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 energy in a charming tranquil setting. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
