Welcome to a comprehensive, step-by-step acrylic painting tutorial! In this 1 hour and 30-minute deep dive, I will teach you how to paint a couple's face on a tree silhouette from start to finish. This is not just a preview—this is a full lesson designed for artists who want to follow along and master the art of symbolic double-exposure painting.
This project combines the beauty of a sunset landscape with the emotional depth of a portrait. We will explore how to integrate human profiles into the organic growth of tree branches, creating a "Tree of Love" concept.
In this 90-minute masterclass, we cover:
-Background Blending: Mastering a vibrant, glowing sky that provides the perfect contrast for your silhouette.
-Sketching the Profiles: Tips for drawing accurate facial silhouettes (male and female) integrated into the trunk.
-Silhouette Precision: How to use a liner brush and black acrylics to create sharp, professional edges.
-Branch Anatomy: Learning how to paint natural, tapering branches that flow from the "hair" of the profiles.
-Fine Details: Adding stars, leaves, or highlights to bring the entire composition to life.
Grab your brushes, a canvas, and some black and colorful acrylics, and let's paint this romantic and creative scene together!
