Back to “Disney-Inspired” Course

by Kari Lynn M.

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.
