Clouds Painting Masterclass: Lesson 1

In the first lesson of the ColorByFeliks acrylic Clouds Painting Masterclass, we will start off learning the materials you will need in order to get started. The way that I work is from the farthest distance away to the foreground last, therefore in this first lesson we are just going to focus on getting the background done. We will practice mixing our acrylics and get our palette prepared to start blending.

Once we have mixed just enough colors for the background, we will begin to blend. If you have seen my lessons before, you will know that there is a special technique that I have discovered that works great with getting a smooth blend for your acrylics.
