Learn How to Paint "AUTUMN DOVE" with Acrylic - Paint and Sip - Step by Step Animal Landscape Lesson

VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this seasonal animal landscape image of "AUTUMN DOVE" with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic fall landscape with an out of focus natural background that highlights a gorgeous white dove with it's wings spread wide open taking flight from behind an autumn leaf tree branch perhaps to travel south to escape the upcoming cold winter season. The change of seasons from summer to fall brings along a change in the color of foliage in certain trees in different regions of the world. In this painting you will learn how to create a style of leaf that resembles that of a beech, birch, ash, elm, dogwood or poplar tree. Using color theory to guide us through mixing various colors, we'll develop a landscape with perspective and depth. Using an easy blending technique you'll learn to paint the blurred background atmosphere with complimentary colors that will bring harmony and balance to the composition. To capture the action of movement in the painting, you'll learn how to paint the wings of this pigeon open as it flies through the air. You can customize the painting to be a different season, like spring or summer, or change up the bird to be another dove type, such as a mourning, collared, turtle, ringed neck or even a diamond dove, you could also change the background to be a sunrise or sunset in the sky. This painting is created in an impressionistic style using a scumbling technique for much of the background and an easy layering process for the leaves and bird. You'll learn how to paint this landscape image filled with crisp notes of the cool season leading up to winter. Using simple painting techniques to add color contrast, as well as highlights and shadows, you'll bring the image to life with a 3-d photo realistic quality with proper proportions on the feathered wings and form on the body and head. The bold warm colors add a moodiness to the piece, but allow it to have a sense of quiet stillness allowing the bird to set sail from this tranquil natural environment. Inspired by the autumnal season that symbolizes that of change, and the dove symbolizing purity, peace, love, and harmony, this image will not only bring joy to you as you create it with the simplicity of the process, but you'll also learn some valuable lessons that you can utilize in future work! This painting is sure to impress the viewer and compliment the décor of any room. Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a magnificent lively seasonal energy. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!

Michelle you are amazing. I have trouble with anxiety and painting takes that away. So far I have done ok there is one I can't seem to get right. I am going to try it again after the holidays. You are beautiful inside and out. You are a great encourager and laugh at yourself. God has surely blessed you and you have passed that on. May God bless you and keep painting. I really want to learn to paint water and clouds. I would also like to paint roses. You did a rose but mine did not look like a rose. Thank you for all that you give of yourself. In Christ, Susan Isley

[@michellethepainter.]

Hi Susan, Thank so much for sharing your story with me. I began my painting journey many years ago as a coping mechanism to help me with some dark days that I had to go through. Painting helped to save my life and I am so grateful that I get to pass along the tools to others to incorporate it into their lives. I have several free tutorials that show techniques for water and clouds on KZbin, however, I do offer more technical classes through my patreon membership program. If you even think that you want to take your skill set a little further, or be part of a painting group with like minded artists, you may want to look into the benefits of the program. Below are a couple of links: one shows the lessons that I have done exclusively for the Patreons, so you can get a taste of what you would be getting: two will show you all of the other benefits that would be available to you, including live classes with me, contests, challenges and more. If you have any additional questions, you can always reach out to me directly at [e-mail] 1. Lessons- berkshirepaintandsip.squarespace.com/patreon-videos 2. Membership Benefits- www.patreon.com/michellethepainter Hugs from my easel to yours, Michelle

Oh Linda, I'm so sorry that your family is going through such a difficult time. If these paintings give you a small moment of forgetting about real life for a minute and help you to process the dark emotions that you are feeling, than I am grateful to provide them. Painting saved my life during the hardest days I had to go through, and it has the power to do that for so many. Warm hugs from my easel to yours! ~Michelle
