Painting in acrylic

Antarctic scene by

Mrs Linderberg

The inspiration for the Antarctic Scene

• Recommend one A6 sized card or acrylic paper, one for each student. This size is good for speed, drying time, need for detail and brush control, it is also good for only needing a small amount of paint.

QuickTime™ and a decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

Resources• 2 x 4mm paintbrush and 1 fine tip paintbrush per

student. 1 brush for white & yellow, 1 brush for blues and the fine tip for black & dark blue.

• Acrylic paint - white, blue, yellow and black. Thicker paint (especially for white is best). No water to be added to thin paints.

• A5 or A6 sized card for each student.

Demonstrate preparation

• Black, blue, yellow and white are the base colours.• Blend white with 3 or the blues to achieve 3

different blue tones.

• Only a small amount of paint is needed per student. (this example would be enough for 3 students).

• Make sure no water is added, and brushes are dried thoroughly if rinsed.

Step 3

• Using the lightest blue, paint horizontally across, this time use random vertical strokes to add dimension to what will become the ice range in the distance.

Step 4

• Change you paintbrush for the white brush.• Starting from the bottom, work across and up the card to

cover the bottom section with white. • Overlap the blue, blend, swirl brush to create mountains or

ice features in the distance.

Step 7

• Allow black to dry.• Using white brush, paint white bodies. Then add detail

with yellow (it is ok if white is not dry as yellow will blend nicely).

• Finally, using the dark blue, paint the shadows.
