Rainbow Highland Cow Painting - Acrylic Painting Real Time Paint Along Tutorial

In this real time paint along class we will paint a highland cow in a vibrant multicolor / rainbow color style. There will be lots of vibrant colors and loose flowing brush strokes in this painting and the end result will be fabulous.
During the class you will learn:
1) The four steps used to create a rainbow / multi coloured painting
2) A unique method of painting a quick abstract background
3) How to suggest a hair effect
4) How to ensure bright vibrant colours and avoid the painting turning to dull muddy colours
5) How to create the illusion of realism without having to use the correct colours
For the class you will need :
1) a 12" x 16" canvas (roughly 400mm x 300mm).
2) Set of bristle brushes
3) Titanium White, then a variety of vibrant colours. At least the 3 primary colours. I used Purple, Magenta, Red, Orange, Yellow Light, Phtalo Green, Phtalo Turquoise, Phtalo Blue.
4) Painting Knife
5) Fineliner brush
6) 1" Soft Flibert, 1/2" Soft Filbert

This is so clever. To my un-trained eye, I didn't notice the the play betweeen complimentary colours in the background and the cow until you pointed it out. I just saw the overall great picture that I love. Also, love your tip for blending the background with paper towels. You explained placing the colours using tonal values so well, everything is so well considered, creating a really striking end result.

[@dianecharest8365]

Very nice. Thank you. This made me understand the color wheel cool and warm colors a little more than I do.

[@PaintBasket]

Glad it was helpful! You do need to know your colour wheel and how they relate to each other in order to do these paintings :)

I'm a South African living in France, and I took a picture of a gorgeous cow and wanted to paint it. I can't tell you how much joy finding your channel has brought me. Thanks for not only a great paint-along, but a flood of childhood memories.

Hi Nolan. Judging by your accent I assume you're South African. Where can I buy a set of pencils like the one you had in your video about learning how to draw? ❤Love your channel so much; thank you for making time to share your talent!

[@PaintBasket]

I am a South African born Kiwi. :) I assume you are in SA. If so you can purchase pencil sets at CNA / PNA or online via Art Savings Club. If you are not in SA, then any good stationery shop will stock a set of pencils. The ones I personally use are the Tombow brand of pencils which I ordered off Amazon

[@helvitangi8199]

@@PaintBasket That's interesting! At least I was right about the South African part 😅 I'm in SA, I'll try and get them at CNA abd if not then I'll order them on Amazon. Thank you!
