VIDEO DESCRIPTION This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this brilliant floral landscape image of “HIBISCUS HUMMINGBIRD“ with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic looking flower that is fully opened and ready to feed the incoming bird on a beautiful summer day. You'll learn how to add atmospheric dimension in the sky and land by painting details that appear to be out of focus. You'll also learn how to paint petals that appear to pop off of the canvas and how to create a perfectly proportioned ruby-throated hummingbird with shadows and highlights that will give form and shape to the objects. These stunning red plant in the mallow family will make your brush seem like it has magic in it by making the petals appear three dimensional with sunshine drenching their edges and the beautiful dancing bird flying in for an afternoon meal. You'll learn to paint this realistic looking flower, wild meadow grass, a soft sunrise or sunset sky and a delicate tiny bird that will surely impress the viewer. Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with magnificent lively flowers that are accompanied by the sweetest and smallest native American bird. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
