  • VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this adorable storybook image of “READING BY THE MUSHROOM LIGHT”. You'll learn basic drawing and painting tips and techniques that will have you painting an enchanted fantasy landscape animal portrait painting of a mystical forest with a whimsical frog sitting in the grass while reading a book under the light of a mushroom. Set in front of a backdrop of mysterious woodland trees, this charming and sophisticated amphibian gazing at the pages of an open piece of literature offers an important, yet fun message to its viewers... that reading is fundamental. With his soft curious grin, eyes glistening from the warm reflection of the mushroom glow, and the book resting peacefully on his knees, this cute critter will surely bring a smile to your face. The first lesson you’ll learn in this acrylic instruction is how to paint atmospheric dimension in the background using a loose blending and stippling method to transition the colors into one another with the intent on creating an inviting yet alluring mood that will help set the stage for this imaginary story set in a fairytale world. With just a few strokes of rich colors to create the illusion of a fantasy forest, you will then give your self-educating croaker and the large toadstool lamp form and structure by drawing an easy outline with chalk and applying a simple basecoat as the foundation. You will then create realistic looking dimension with properly placed highlights and shadows, followed by layering colors to give your tenacious toad and the fungus lantern a textured appearance. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make your nocturnal, nature-loving bookworm come alive with just a few colors, strokes, and outlines. You will then learn to paint details on the cap and stem of the sprouted-fungi, giving it a round form and realistic 3-D effect like a photograph. Adding dimension to the composition will be done by incorporating lush wild grass and foliage on the forest floor and surrounding tree branches with leaves. Finally, you’ll give your enchanting creation a magic touch by giving it warmth with the addition of beams of light from a light source so your bibliophile bullfrog can continue to read throughout the night. Not only will this acrylic art lesson provide you with a solid learning experience, but it will also afford you with a fun experience while creating a masterpiece artwork that anyone who loves frogs, or enjoys a good read, can relate to. Frogs, along with alligators and crocodiles, shared earth with the dinosaurs, and these timeless, fearless, and ever-evolving creatures are a symbol of intelligence, fertility, purity and prosperity which makes for an informative and exciting painting. Using only 3 brushes and 7 colors we'll create this enchanting, illustrative prince charming character relaxing in this beautiful tranquil piece of art that will bring joy to any décor. So, let’s get painting and let's get sipping!

    There are many great artist 🎨 tutorials on UA-cam but Michelle is the best hands down. Michelle explains everything and every detail and anyone can follow her tutorials and make amazing art. Michelle is a true blessing to all of us who follow her. Proud to be a stipple. I love how Michelle only uses 2 or 3 brushes and a limited paint palette 🎨 to get many colors and amazing art. Thank you Michelle so appreciate your arr.

      Totally agree!!! She has taught me so much in the last year since I've been following her. Blending was a huge challenge before learning from Michelle the Painter. She's a Godsend for real! I'm more confident in my skills than I was before and i am learning to freehand drawing instead of depending on traceables. Her lessons are great and her creativity is out of this world amazing! 👏❤

    You are so amazing. I started painting (which I've NEVER been good at!) as I am going through PTSD therapy. I can't thank you enough for having this channel. Not only are you an excellent artist, but your personality and ability to teach are fantastic as well. You making painting enjoyable and my art comes out pretty darn good. Thank you. I hope you're like... the next Bob Ross, except, you know... you're a pretty lady. LOL

    For those of you who think "this is one of those commercial paint and sip classes I can do at home" painting, step back and look at the painting again, and the detail. Tell yourself "It is okay if I don't finish this in one sitting." This is a great painting to do at home because if you are a beginner or you are used to those places, you need longer to do some of the amazing things that Michelle does here. I took my time and hit pause a lot and came out with a better painting than i would have at a paint and sip location. This takes it to a more challenging level. I was super frustrated at first, but watching each step all the way through before I started doing it, and not having a deadline to finish really helped. I just finished mine and I'm so proud of it! I'm going to try the Dandelion Fairy Dance next now that I accept I can take each step at my own pace until I'm happy with it, instead of having to finish it in 2-3 hours.

    Hi Michelle! I learned a lot from this video! The background technique was really cool! What intrigued me was the drawing of the frog. I could not figure out from your shapes how he was going to turn out! I loved it and I plan to practice drawing him with those techniques first. It was really good instruction. I have watched a lot of your videos-this one for me was very insightful of your process. Seriously, they are all good and I have learned so much from watching them. I am passing what I am learning to my 9 yr granddaughter. We paint together sometimes and I love to show her how you do it.! Thank you for taking the time to teach us. And as always to the camera man who knows exactly when to zoom in!!!!

    🍄 are called toad's stool.. Agaricus.
    We make remedies to cure spasms, Parkinsonism, twitching of eyelids, cramps , chills, hypothermia , cancer & tumours.
    In regional language , Bangla in India it's called umbrella of frog & toad.
    Cancer patients must have it's juice or soup 🍲.. but who have excess copper in their body ( Wilson's disease) should never have it.

      Hi Donna, I purchase all of my canvases already primed. It's easier for me considering how much I paint. You can use a layer of acrylic gesso but it's really not necessary if your canvas is primed when purchased. Have fun painting!
