VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to draw and paint this dreamy inspirational skyscape image of “HEAVENLY STAIRWAY“ with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this angelic spiritual image with three doves flying out of the light symbolizing the Holy Spirit. As the staircase emerges from the clouds and travels up to the brilliant bright light in the heavens above, you'll be captivated by the dreamy element of the atmosphere in the clouds and bright blue sky. Surrounded by the glowing light and the airiness of the fluffy clouds this symbolic structure will provide guidance, hope and peaceful energy to those who see it. The delicate white birds with their celestial wings and long flowing tails help to lead the way towards the beaming light and through the gates. You'll learn how to create dimension in the shape of the stairs, clouds, bird bodies, wings, heads and feathers with a simple layering technique with carefree impressionistic brushstrokes to create contour highlights and shadows that will define the small details and add texture and contrast to the elements. You'll also learn how to create a dramatic sky using color theory and blending to guide you through a soft gradient of colors. Use your imagination and customize this in your own personal way, perhaps you paint the impression of footsteps walking up the stairs or paint a silhouette of a person gently ascending one step at a time, be it an angel, a man, woman, mother, father, friend, or animal. The point is to just have fun with it and make this stairway to heaven meaningful to you! With a heavenly spiritual light guiding the way, this image of these steps, created in a fantasy fairy-tale illustration painting style, will be a little magical and realistic at the same time, making for a beautiful painting to decorate your home all year long. You'll have fun painting it and you'll learn some valuable lessons along the way that you can utilize in future work. Let this angelic creation symbolize devotion, hope, trust, faith, and love. Using only 2 brushes and 5 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a delicate, beautiful, captivating and charming heavenly narrative honoring all of the loved ones that we have lost and hope to one day meet again. So, let's get painting and let's get sipping!
