This painting started with a photo I took at Rainbow Beach many years ago - this sweet girl was making a sand castle with her brother and the matching hat and swimmers caught my artist's eye. Join me to paint this step-by-step, and then marvel at what you've learned as we painted together!
This striking composition hides a joyous amount of detail and colour mixing experience that I hope you'll love.
Join me and add your own coloured flag at the end, then sit back and soak in the calm you have created.
I hope that when you look at this you can hear the Beach Boys music playing and the salty sea breeze in your hair!
Follow me, step by step, as we paint this cool combi, complete with palm trees, a collection of surfboards and a striking shadow.
There's so much to like about this painting - the bottle, the whale, the underwater corals - and so much to learn - glazing, chalk stenciling and details!
It's a super cute whale in a super cute bottle. And it's very possible you might have to paint more than one. Just saying.
Contrast and boldness make for eyecatching artworks, and that's what this painting has in spades.
Oh... and love... because who can resist the idea of chicks catching a ride on their mother's back. You can feel how soft and fluffy they are, right?
Let me step you through the layers to create this lovely painting.
