As requested, a colourful elephant painting! Always such a beautiful animal to paint ❤️

Supplies used:

  • Liquitex acrylic paints - titanium white, bright aqua green, phthalo blue, prussian blue, primary yellow, cadmium orange, medium magenta, fluorescent pink, quinacridone magenta, brilliant purple, deep violet

  • Paintbrushes - large and medium filbert, fan (splatters), small pointed (eye, tusks and details)

  • I painted this on an 8"x8" canvas, but any size will work - if your canvas is larger you may need larger brushes

  • Line drawings attached to this post

  • I also used some scrap paper to cover the elephant section while splattering paint

I hope you enjoy painting this, any questions just let me know 🎨

Hi! This is maybe my second video that I’ve tried and I’ve noticed that from 45 min-53 min (haven’t gone further yet), the narration of what color to use and where and what to do almost completely stops. As a newbie I relish learning all the little things that might be second nature to an artist so wondering if you’d consider continuing to narrate how to “clean up” paintings like you mentioned you were doing in this section because I don’t know how to do that just yet. Thank you!

Hi Megan, thank you so much for this message, it's really helpful to hear feedback like this so I can make the tutorials as helpful as possible. I will make sure going forward that I continue the detailed explanations throughout all of the steps 😊 If there's anything you need help with with any of my previous videos, whether it's colours, techniques etc. just send me a message and I'll be happy to help 😊

What a nice response, thank you so much! I was hesitant to say anything as I didn’t want to come across as nitpick-y so I’m feeling quite happy that you completely understood my intention. I definitely struggle right now with blending so I’d love more guidance on that. Thank you again. 💗

I honestly find the feedback so helpful. I sometimes wonder if I'm saying too much or too little so it really helps to get an idea. I always welcome feedback 😊 Yes a few people have mentioned needing some help with blending actually, I'll try to make a video with some tips soon as I think that will be helpful! 😊
