PAINTING REALISTIC EGRET WITH WARMTH AND LIGHT- Suzanne Barrett Justis

In this wildlife art painting tutorial, I will take you step by step in creating warmth and light in a painting of a realistic egret in a warm landscape. I will show you how to create form of the white bird using cool colors on the interior of the bird, and bringing out the warm and lighter valued colors on the edges of the back lit egret. This painting tutorial for beginners is easy to follow. If you like painting wildlife, this video will make painting animals easy. This oil painting tutorial has principals for painting landscapes not only in oils but painting landscapes in acrylic as well.

I AM HAVING A 3 DAY WILDLIFE PAINTING WORKSHOP
Come Join me, International Master Wildlife Artist Suzanne Barrett Justis, for a 3 day Wildlife Painting workshop May 27, 28 and 29 2022 in Kingsport, TN! We will be doing 2 wildlife paintings! One of of the species will be the Great Blue Heron and the other species has yet to be decided. I will take you from start to finish on your paintings from working the composition, laying in the subject in it's surroundings, blocking in, mixing and layering color to create great form and detail. I am keeping this workshop limited to the first 15 people, this helps with giving each painter the individual time they deserve. I will be painting the two demos along with you as you paint. As always, I will give away my two demos and two lucky recipients will go home with one of my originals. The details on the subjects references and the materials lists will be given via email to the folks attending the workshop. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope I see you here in Kingsport!
