Today I'm so excited to share this Swan Lake during Sunrise Painting tutorial with some glimmering lights, muted pastel colors and clouds. We're using gouache paints and going over this whole (pretty long) process step by step.
I really hope you'll get to sit down and have a relaxing painting session for yourself too! As always, please let me know how it went for you ❤
