The Angel Oak - an acrylic painting lesson

This lesson is a must if you need to loosen up your paintings a bit. Learn how to let go and just make brush strokes rather than thinking about painting specific things. When we are painting foliage we think about foliage, and the movement, but not about individual leaves. This lesson will help you with letting go and just implying things rather than trying to paint things one by one. Learn how to paint the famed Angel Oak Tree from South Carolina. It's a beautiful image of nature, with flowing colors and movement all around. I will show you how to paint this acrylic painting from start to finish in a little over an hour.
