Join acrylic artist Derric van Rensburg for this 45 minute Arty Class. Filmed live from Cape Town, South Africa on 27 April 2021.
This Arty class will focus on painting a Guineafowl (Tarentaal in Afrikaans) in acrylic but in a sketchy and watercolour inspired manner.
**See Reference photo and recommended materials below**
Join us for a fun class painting one of South Africa’s most iconic birds. A tutorial in how to not “over-think”!
Preparation: Using a varnishing brush, apply a white primer to the canvas (quite haphazardly) and allow to dry. The use of a varnishing brush sets the scene for a textured outcome.
