In this full-length video lesson, viewers learn how to paint a dramatic
bird's nest scene. To create this background, we use the
FolkArt Blending Gel which allows for more time to get the painting just right before it dries; a dry brushing technique; and we're also introduced to palette knife painting.
This painting lesson dives into the hardest part first, challenging painters to accomplish a seamless gradation of color from dark to light. Andy Jones, Content Editor of our online educational program,
Let's Paint, expertly guides the most inexperience painters through a piece they would be proud to call their own.
