FAQ:
- Q: What paint do you use?
- A: This is acrylic craft paint.
- Q: What is a mop brush?
- A: I use a makeup blush brush from the dollar store. You can use other brushes of course, but blush brushes and makeup brushes in general are great for backgrounds and blending.
- Q: What are you painting on?
- A: This was 11×14 canvas board (but you can use whatever type of canvas you like!)
- Q:Do you prime your canvas?
- A: No, my canvases are pre-primed, but you could still add another layer of primer if you want a smoother surface to paint it. Priming helps to smooth out the rough texture on the canvas.
- Q: What setting is your hair dryer on?
- A: Hair dryers are very helpful to speed up the painting process in between steps. I use the high setting but be careful because dryer settings may vary.
This painting would be perfect for you or your church group to celebrate Easter! In this beginner acrylic painting tutorial I will show you step by step how to paint a sunrise with the cross and empty tomb for Easter Sunday. When you blend the colors for your sky, make sure you always clean off your brush if you need to blend/fix the lighter colors. You want the yellow to pop! The empty tomb can be as simple or as detailed as you want, just remember cross blending strokes can help give the stone look. Painting the crosses with a small flat bruh also makes it easier to make straight line. You could also add any color or kind of flowers in the landscape. Have fun with it and Happy Easter!
