Ocean/ Beach
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.
