Coastal Aesthetic – Canvas Series – Acrylic Painting Tutorial

, , , ,

This is a unique tutorial in that it includes THREE small 8×8 canvases featuring an ocean treasure with blue & gold abstract background. The paintings can also work as stand alone paintings but were designed to be put together in a series of square canvases. You can also do this with a partner or as a group (everyone can pick their own design)!

Change the background if you want and have fun! The background consists of fun abstract techniques including dry brushing/ splattering layers of blue and gold.

There are three templates you can use for this to trace the simple designs on onto the canvases. There are also instructions for how to draw the shells. If you need a traceable resize, let me know! They have only been sized for an 8×8 canvas.

Discovery Reef – August Bonus Tutorial – Part 1 & Part 2

, , , , , ,

This is a TWO PART tutorial. Part 1 will include how to paint the entire background and coral/ seaweed. Part 2 will include how to paint the fish and the dolphin.

This painting is demonstrated on a long 10 x 20 canvas. You can do the design on an 11 x 14 as well. There are optional traceables sized to different canvas sizes. Go into as much detail as you want or simplify it! You can even choose to cut the painting in half and only do the bottom half or only do the top half! So many possibilities for this one!
