Wednesday Art video time and I thought for this week I would show how to make acrylic paint skin shapes. It’s really simple and fun to do, I made some stars for this tutorial and I give you a quick technique for drawing stars too! But you don’t have to make stars! You can in theory make any shape you like so let me know what shape you will make with your acrylic paint skin! I am so curious to know and you know I would love to see so do share with me if you share it on social media and all of my links are at the end of this post on in the menu bar.
You will also find a list of supplies below and a close-up photo of the acrylic paint skin stars below!
For lots of behind the scenes and work in progress shares plus extra arty process, techniques and product insights come and join my Patreon family!
