How to Paint a Dreamy Cloud Whale5

Gather your supplies. You will need:
A canvas or watercolor paper
Acrylic paints in white, blue, and grey
A medium-sized brush
A small brush
A palette
Water
A cloth or paper towels

Prepare your canvas. If you are using a canvas, you will need to prime it before you start painting. To prime a canvas, apply a thin layer of white acrylic paint to the entire surface and allow it to dry completely.

Sketch the whale's shape. Use a light pencil to sketch the basic shape of the whale on your canvas. The whale should be lying on its side, with its tail towards the top of the canvas and its head towards the bottom. Start by drawing a long, curved line for the body of the whale. Then, add a smaller, curved line for the tail. Finally, add a small, rounded shape for the head.

Paint the sky. Use a medium-sized brush to paint the sky in the background of the whale. Use a light blue color and paint in smooth, even strokes. Start at the top of the canvas and work your way down. Allow the sky to dry completely.

Paint the clouds. Use the same medium-sized brush to paint the clouds in the sky. Use a white color and paint in soft, fluffy shapes. Start by painting small, puffy clouds in the distance. Then, add larger, more billowy clouds in the foreground. Allow the clouds to dry completely.

Paint the whale's body. Use a medium-sized brush to paint the whale's body in a light grey color. Start by painting a thick, curved line around the edge of the whale's body. Then, fill in the rest of the body with grey paint. Allow the whale's body to dry completely.

Paint the whale's details. Use a small brush to paint the whale's eyes, mouth, and fins. Use a black color for the eyes and mouth. Use a grey color for the fins. Allow the whale's details to dry completely.

Add final touches. Use a small brush to add any final touches to the painting, such as highlights, shadows, or details on the whale's body. Allow the painting to dry completely before displaying it.

Congratulations! You have now completed your dreamy cloud whale painting. Enjoy your new artwork!
