Painting Bliss - Walkthroughby ~aboveClouds

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Traditional Art / Mixed Media

A BIGGER VERSION IS UNDER DOWNLOAD IF YOU'RE INTERESTED

I'm not sure why I've been so addicted to walkthroughs recently, but I really wanted to make another one after I finished the last one. I find them kind of fun to make for some reason, hehe. I don't plan on making any more walkthroughs after this, so you don't have to worry about any more walkthrough spam from me for a while.

This walkthrough is for my latest mixed media piece Painting Bliss. As with my last walkthrough, I saved a bunch of the steps since I thought they might be able to help someone. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Sorry that the walkthrough pictures aren't very high quality BTW. I don't own a professional-grade camera. XD

Here are some related tutorials that might help you:
[link] -This will teach you how to keep your acrylic paints wet for days/weeks.
[link] - This will teach you how to stretch your canvas so it won't curl up as you're painting.
[link] - Very similar technique to mine, except Eski mixes modeling paste into her acrylics. I usually use the colored pencils right on top of the (normal) dried acrylics, but if drawing on top of the acrylics is too slippery for you, then you should mix modeling paste into your acrylics so they have a rougher surface.

great to see how this painting was created

but what's that with the blue tape?
I think it's a bit pitty that you can still see where it was sticked onto the paper

I had a colored pencil which matched the BG color perfectly. I don't plan on updating the walkthrough, but the original picture has been updated.

I have seen it

looks great, you wouldn't know anything was added later on

Thank you!

Oh, the blue tape was to keep the sketch in place. I would have put the tape just on the upper side of the sketch (off of the painting), but I needed to keep the sketch in the same place so I could trace from it if one of the lines were covered up while painting (which happened to me a few times). I didn't think it was all that noticeable though now that you mention it, I probably could cover it up with some colored pencils.

very welcome

oh I understand, that's a nice way to keep the lines in place so you don't change it more than you'd like
