The Flying Elephant Acrylic Class
It’s a bird… no, it’s a plane… no, wait–it’s a flying elephant, and you’re about to learn how to recreate it completely in acrylic paint!
In today’s painting class, we will learn how to mix many colors found on the color wheel, and we will practice our fine detailing work. Plus, we’ll celebrate the classic cartoon icon that has inspired so many for so long–Dumbo.
Get your painting ready with a sketch file that you can either print, trace, or transfer to a canvas or wood surface. To learn how to use this file, check out our “How to Draw without Drawing” lesson here.
