Acrylic Abstract Elephant Painting

Hello everyone!

In this video I paint an orange and blue themed abstract elephant with acrylics. I decided to paint two and have a nighttime splatter background as well as a daytime watercolor style background. Which do you like better?

If you would like to paint this elephant along with me in a real time tutorial, head over to my Patreon where I provide my reference, line drawing (traceable) and my color palette.

I love them both, but if I had to choose, it’s night. I love how the splatters look like water droplets he’s kicking up.
