VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to draw and paint this dreamy fantasy landscape, animal, figure image of “HUMMINGBIRD AND FAIRY“ with acrylic paint. You’ll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this magical floral landscape image with a fairy woman sharing, or giving, a large pink daisy to the delicate female ruby throated hummingbird on a bright summer day in a flower filled meadow. This inspirational magical little lady, with her beautiful butterfly wings and flowing dress, uses her powers and imagination to offer an afternoon snack to the small bird as it hovers in the air with its wings wide open. Surrounded by flowers of all different sizes, the light glows from the large sun beaming on a warm day in this country field, which adds to the ambiance of the tranquil natural oasis. You’ll learn how to create dimension in the shape of the bird and girl’s body, wings, face and dress with a simple layering technique to create contour highlights and shadows that will define the small details. You’ll also learn how to create a dramatic sky and a blurry out-of-focus bokeh background using color theory and blending to guide you through a soft gradient of colors. When painting the land and flower petals, you’ll learn to use carefree impressionistic brushstrokes to create texture and dimension. Use your imagination and customize this to resemble your favorite type of flower, like a rose, carnation or tulip, or change the bird to a cardinal, blue jay or parrot. The fairy could be turned into a regular butterfly, or she could have a magic wand with fairy dust coming out of it. You could change the season to winter or fall by having the fairy offering a colored leaf or a large snowflake. The point is to just have fun with it! With the enchanting narrative storybook fairytale that this painting represents, you’ll be able to paint this image that will be a little magical and realistic at the same time, making for a beautiful painting to decorate your home all year long with.
