VIDEO DESCRIPTION - Hi fellow artists! This is one of my classic tutorials from the Michelle the Painter Studio. I’m rereleasing some of my favorite tutorials so you can paint along again. Grab your brushes and let’s get started!
This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this seasonal Autumn image of "Maple Leaf Drip". You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to create this beautiful fall masterpiece filled with autumn colors, an out of focus forest, a bright reflection and water drips that are perfectly placed. You'll learn how to create this fall landscape with rich vibrant tones, deep atmospheric dimensional elements with a crispness to the air. Surrounded by the illusion of a natural forest and a body of water, this stunning rendition of an autumn Maple Leaf will have you testing your skills while you adapt new painting techniques to your canvas. You'll learn to paint a realistic leaf that is dripping water, into what could be a pond or a puddle, and you'll learn how to put a complimentary reflection within the drops of water in order to make a compelling composition. Using only 3 brushes and 7 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with an autumnal feel and an evocative close up look at one of nature's finest creations. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!
