  • PAINTING VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this dreamy inspirational skyscape image of "HEAVENLY GATES" with acrylic paint. In this canvas painting for beginners, you'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this angelic spiritual image of the pearly gates resting peacefully on top of soft clouds with the warm glow behind it symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The doors to the gates are open, offering guidance and comfort as it invites the audience to pass through to the next world, promised land, eternal home, nirvana, paradise, afterworld, heaven, arcadia, Elysium, Canaan, Shangri-La, or any place that brings you peace and amenity when crossing over to the afterlife. As the gates emerge from the celestial clouds and are lit by the brilliant bright light yonder, with its vibrant brilliant starburst beams of luminescent energy you'll be captivated by the dreamy element of the atmosphere in the clouds and stunning sky. Surrounded by the glowing light and the airiness of the ethereal clouds, this symbolic structure will provide faith, believe, hope and peaceful energy to those who see it. You'll learn how to create dimension in the structure of the bars, gates, and fence, of your divine doorway with a simple layering technique with carefree impressionistic brushstrokes to create contour highlights and shadows that will define the small details and add texture and contrast to the elements. You'll also learn how to create a dramatic sky using color theory and blending to guide you through a soft gradient of colors. Use your imagination and customize this scene in your own personal way, perhaps you paint the impression of a stairway to heaven, a rainbow bridge, footsteps walking along the clouds, a silhouette of a person gently walking across the top of the clouds one step at a time, be it an angel, a man, woman, mother, father, child, friend, or animal. The point is to just have fun with it and make this holy and saintly image meaningful to you! With a heavenly spiritual light guiding the way, your creativity knows no boundaries and encourages you to design this in any style that works for you; whether it’s fantasy and fairy-tale, magical and mystical, whimsical and wild, or realistic and rational. You'll have fun painting it and you'll learn some valuable lessons along the way that you can utilize in future work. Let this angelic creation symbolize devotion, hope, trust, faith, and love. Using only 2 brushes and 5 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a delicate, beautiful, captivating and charming heavenly narrative honoring all of the loved ones that we have lost and hope to one day meet again. A scenery painting that is a beautiful painting. And not just an easy painting, but an easy painting for beginners as well! So, let's get painting and let's get sipping!

    Hello again Michelle. Firstly I’d like to say Im so glad the word has gotten out about you. Such an amazing person and talent to share with us all. Amazing women!!! Michelle, my mom and dad have gone though that gate and I think of it all the time. Now I can paint it and put it beside my stairway to heaven. Which I know they went though too. As they followed all great people . Thank you for such wonderful subject matter .

    C Wife's I am looking forward to trying this painting. I was using a foiled pie pan for mixing colors, but it is very hard on my eyes because I need a lot of light, so I think I am going to try a hard plastic pallet. This painting is so meaning full, so many people have passed away in the last two years. Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas, I am having so much fun. It helps get my mind busy.

    • @michellethepainter.
      @michellethepainter.  Рік тому

      Hi Holly, I usually do not seal my paintings, because when acrylic paint fully cures, it is very durable. However, I do sometimes seal/varnish my paintings for esthetic purposes to bring all of the sheens together. I prefer to use a spray (Grumbacher or Golden) or liquid gloss (Liquitex) varnish. I hope this helps.

    I love and enjoy watching your paintings, your explanations are very clear and excelents. But...¿can I make you a question? ¿Do you use some water to blend the paint on your canvas? have not seen you. Thank you Michelle for such as beatiful videos.

      Hi Jose, Yes I tend to use water sometimes, but for these videos I am using a thin bodied student grade paint which is very fluid. Thanks for watching and have fun painting! ~Michelle
