Frosty Morning Cabin was created on our 1st Freestyle Friday. I love Freestyle Fridays because we get to be creative. It’s when we don’t really have a plan, and I literally sketch something out on paper 10 minutes before hitting record. Then we just go for it! Sometimes it’s hard to teach, but that’s only because nothing is set in stone, and I’m literally painting it for the very first time. I’ve learned that over the years, it’s important to remember, you must always be willing to make changes and adjustments.
This particular painting reminds me of a typical Montana winter morning, or evening. I love the pink skies, morning or night, it doesn’t really matter. You can literally take this painting and make it your own. Add more pine trees if you want, or make your cabin bigger. Our Acrylic painting tutorials are more like suggestions. We love it when our painters go rogue and think outside the box.
The Frosty Morning Cabin is probably a Level 2, easy to moderate. There are no templates, the cabin is free hand. I suggest using a piece of chalk to sketch in your cabin first before painting it. I believe the step by step painting video is approximately 1 hour and 15 min, however, it will most likely take you closer to 2 hours to complete. Feel free to pause at any time to make your own adjustments.
Happy Painting!!
