Dandelion Acrylic Painting Tutorial - By Artist, Andrea Kirk

Who doesn’t love walking through a beautiful field of dandelions, picking them one-by-one, and blowing the seeds into the wind? Even as an adult, I still can’t resist! I wanted to capture that in painting form.

I was contacted by the art supply company “Hippie Crafter”, who sent me amazing supplies for my project. I chose their smooth textured black canvas, and rich, creamy acrylic paints. I can honestly say that I’ve never enjoyed using acrylics more. These are truly the best quality!! I was able to paint the finest detail of the dandelion seeds effortlessly.

Beautiful, I am going to try it.
Thank you!

Getting ready to attempt this tonight. I'm pretty sure I won't get the same beautiful and realistic result as yours, then again you're a great teacher. I was wondering if a fan brush can give similar soft results since I'm afraid of heavy lines. Glad I found your channel! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[sanelahasanic]
