How to Paint a Gourd using acrylic paint:
The Folk-Art Gourd Project
In his video, Rick shows you how to paint a gourd using a method he calls ‘folk art”. With attention on easy techniques, he covers the wet and dry brush method, the blending of colors with a wash and several layering techniques that add and build texture and depth to the surface. This is a simple process and one any beginner can follow.
In addition, there are suggestions for adding complicated details. He even lists the colors and the brushes he uses and offers a great tip for keeping acrylic paints from bleeding when layering washes.
Fredrick Aragón is a designer, illustrator, animator, filmmaker, musician, songwriter, and actor. He lives and works in Taos, New Mexico and has many talents. Rick has a background in graphic design, illustration, and animation. What’s more, he also plays and records his flute music. You can take a listen at this clip.
First, find an ugly gourd!
If you are a beginner, don’t get overwhelm with his design skills and painting. This gourd will look good wherever you stop the process. Learning how to paint a gourd will take several practice sessions. Think of this one as a “practice gourd.”
love watching his process.. just beautiful work!
