TIME LAPSE - Learn How to Paint 'UNICORN AND FAIRY' with Acrylic - Fantasy Step by Step Tutorial

You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this magical picture of a fairy hanging from the horn of a unicorn in an imaginary fairytale world. This inspirational beautiful little lady, with her beautiful butterfly wings and flowing dress, uses her powers and imagination to create fairy dust and bubbles floating through the air while she playfully dangles from the majestic unicorn’s horn. Lit by a warm glow and surrounded by mystical bubbles and sparkles of all different sizes, this tiny-winged princess and mythical horse engage one another in a spiritual and light-hearted encounter. The contrasting colors of pink, soft grey, and white add to the ambiance of the tranquil natural oasis. You will first learn how to create an inviting background that will set the mood for this good-natured and divine image, then you will draw outlines for both the spritely gingerly girl and the enchanting stallion, followed by painting the base coat for both your woman figure and equine, then you'll add shadows and highlights on these fantasy creatures for good dimension, and you'll end with whimsically placing fairy dust and bubbles all over. Wings, fur, eyes, a horn, each of these important elements necessary to create this enchanting narrative storybook image will be taught to you with easy steps to follow. You’ll learn how to create a simple sketch providing a good foundation for the form of the fairy and horse with proper proportions and then you’ll be taught how to paint realistic shape to both bodies and faces with blending affects creating highlights and shadows for dimension and contours providing a 3D effect like a photograph with an energetic feel and realistic look to it. The figures will appear in the foreground and come to life with the movement of glowing sparkles and bubbles surrounding the unicorn’s tall strong posture and gentle giant personality, as well as the frisky and flirtatious fairy. While learning how to paint a mysterious and illusive horse with its beautiful flowing mane and iconic horn and the dainty effervescent female nymph, you can choose to personalize the colors on your journey towards creating this picturesque, dreamy, misty scene. Transcending through time and cultures, the gorgeous and mythological unicorn represents magic, purity, innocence, healing, positivity, joy, hope, pride and diversity, and everyone’s favorite mischievous and mythological Tinker Bell like figure, represents imagination and creativity and freedom, and together, these two archetypal and exemplary beings create an alluring mood and captivating vibe that will draw the eye and attention of any passerby, whether it’s a child or an art-lover. Using only 3 brushes and 5 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece that is sure to compliment any home décor. So, let's get painting and let's get sipping!

The time lapse is good. I have issues with mixing colors at time. And the time lapse doesn't do justice to learning to mix colors. I love it though. Once I learn more. Greatest Art Teacher ever. :)

[renatonotturno]

Unicorno, . Bellissima opera, dipingi in un modo straordinario, ma di più insegni, rendi cose complesse molto semplici da comprendere.Specifico da comprendere, poi nel realizzarle qualche bella difficoltà la si incontra, ma è naturale non siamo tutti Michelle.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[lolliedean]

I loved this...A unicorn isn't something that I would want to paint, personally...but I love to watch your videos, and this was a super awesome way to enjoy the process of the creation!!
