Join David as he paints this a 19th-century frigate sailing ship.  When sailing vessels enter a storm, they take down most of the sails and leave only a few up to navigate the churning ocean. Once they leave bad weather, the sailors begin to add the sails again. This ship is just coming out of a powerful storm and returning to full sail. Join David as he demonstrates acrylic techniques for painting layered colors on the sails. Learn to layer warm and cool scumbling to build powerful storm clouds. Paint a stormy sea with pure acrylics!
