![]() Finally, draw the outlines of the front doorstep and the path leading up to it, and some small awnings over the windows. You can freehand the straight lines like I did, or use masking tape if you prefer to be more precise.Īdd some windows in the door, as well as a vertical line for where the walls of the house meet. Grab a damp flat ½” brush or other stiff flat brush with that black and use it to outline the door again and fill in the windows. ![]() Mix some black and yellow to get a black color that’s a little lighter than the one right out of the tube. The door can be any color you’d like □ it doesn’t have to be red like mine (I mixed red with a little yellow)! Now we are going to continue putting down our foundational layers that will guide the other layers we apply later! Mix the colors that you’ll use for your door. The base layer of pink will show through, giving the wall of your house some cool layered color! □ Mix some yellow and white and layer over the pink, using light circular motions with the wrist. Paint a little leading up to the bottom of the door. Now apply light gray at the base of the canvas for the walkway in front of the house. Now wait until the paint dries or use a blowdryer to speed it up. Don’t worry if a little covers your door and window outlines so long as you can still see them. Grab some light pink on your M1 (large) blending brush and fill in the whole canvas. The door and windows can go wherever you want I’ll be saying that about a lot of things in this tutorial because remember: art is about freedom! ![]() This is just a sketch to guide us later as we add layers. Grab your ½” flat brush and some dark gray and draw on the outline of the doors and windows. I would encourage you to do the same if you ever have a work that you’re unsatisfied with: nothing has to be permanent! □ Also, please note that when I first made this tutorial, I was painting over an old tutorial (you may recognize the clouds from a few weeks ago). You want to end up with a pale, salmon pink, a dark gray, and a light gray to kick things off. We’ll start with some good ol’ acrylic color mixing.
