VIDEO DESCRIPTION – This painting tutorial will take you through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this adorable image of “SPECIAL DELIVERY”. You'll learn basic drawing and painting tips and techniques that will have you painting a realistic landscape painting of a majestic sky with fluffy clouds and a beautiful stork carrying a baby wrapped in a blanket. Set in front of a backdrop high above the clouds, this iconic large white bird with its cute cargo tells a familiar, yet symbolic tale, of a little newcomer about to enter this world. With its wings spread as wide open as can be, its undeterred glance looking straight ahead, and its beak gripped tightly to its precious package, this gorgeous, winged currier will surely bring a smile to your face. The first lesson you’ll learn in this acrylic instruction is how to paint atmospheric dimension in the background using both a dry brush technique and a loose blend to transition colors into one another with the intent on creating a peaceful yet happy mood that will help set the stage for this imaginary fairytale fantasy story set in the wild blue yonder. After adding warmth to the heavens with just a few strokes of bright complimentary natural colors to give the hint of a sunset or sunrise off in the distance, you will then give your fearless parcel-carrying aviator form and structure by drawing an easy outline and applying a simple basecoat. You will then create realistic looking dimension on the bird's body with properly placed highlights and shadows, followed by layering colors to give the feathers of your determined deliverer texture. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make your feathery captain-of-the-sky come alive with just a few basic colors, carefree brush strokes, and a simple outline. You will then learn to paint cloth, giving it a 3D realistic round form and the appearance of it holding weight. Finally, you’ll add cute little dangling baby feet that will be poking out from one side of the blanket giving it a photo realism affect. Not only will this acrylic art lesson provide you with a solid learning experience, but it will also afford you with the opportunity to create a masterpiece artwork that anyone can relate to. In folklore, myth, legend, mythology, or, just in the imagination, this timeless tale of a stork delivering a baby is one that has been shared by everyone and will continue to be passed down for generations throughout eternity so long as humans continue to give birth to offspring. If you know someone who is pregnant, with child, got a bun in the oven, or is preggers, caught, enceinte, expectant, expecting, childing, in the club, up the duff, gravid, knocked up, or, whatever term floats your boat, this painting is surely going to win the hearts of any soon-to-be mom, and, of course, dad, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, cousin, brother, sister, or just about anyone in the family. Using only 3 brushes and 5 colors we'll create this innocent and beautiful piece of art that will bring joy to any décor. So, let’s get painting and let's get sipping!
