Hi Happy Campers! I am showing a step by step acrylic painting today on my blog that you all can do! I painted this with dryer, thicker paint. You can see the same idea in the video below with wetter and different color paints. The video will also show you the brush stroke used. Here are my colors and 6x6 canvas.
