Paint a moody yet colorful autumn scene featuring a striking black raven perched on a rustic tree stump, surrounded by a pumpkin and golden wheat.
In this beginner-friendly acrylic painting tutorial, you’ll learn how to create the raven’s dramatic dark feathers using layers of blue, gray, and white highlights while keeping the bird full of dimension.
This tutorial also includes a traceable template, making it easy to get the raven, tree stump, pumpkin, and other key elements positioned correctly before you begin painting. Simply transfer the template to your canvas and then follow along step by step as we build the painting with layers of color, shading, and highlights.
