Back to Succulents Course

by Kari Lynn M.

Ready to put your painting skills to the test with a longer painting class?

Welcome to the ultimate succulent painting class—a class in which we paint a full rainbow succulent!

Using just six tubes of acrylic paint, you will learn how to create and use a myriad of difficult colors on your canvas. It all comes together to make a hyper-realistic picture of a naturally multicolored plant. Feel free to take the class all at once, or pause at the halfway mark (your leading artist lets you know the best stopping point in the video; don’t worry) for a multi-day painting journey.

Please note that this is the most challenging of the classes in the “Succulent Series”, so take your time and be patient with yourself as you attempt it—remember, this is for you to learn while you enjoy painting!
