ArtDeco Jungle Fever Collection + Acrylic Painting 101

Hey! One of my favorite, affordable PRO makeup brands, ArtDeco, is launching a rawr-riffic collection called Jungle Fever!

ArtDeco takes you to a tropical escape through the Jungle Fever Collection. Drench your skin in gleaming, sun- kissed colors and liberate your wild side with these limited edition makeups!

 The colors and textures are super gorgeous that they're so fit for any fierce babes out there!

The launch was held at The Glass Door, and we also had a crash course on Acrylic Painting. Yikes, anything related to drawing and painting isn't my forte, but I gave it a shot anyway!

Acrylic Paint, according to our teacher for the day, is very easy to use, dries up easily, and can be peeled off to boot-you just have to mix it with a bit of water if you want to dilute its coverage or use it on its own if you want heavier coverage. Best part is it's washable with water if it comes into contact with the skin, but I don't know if it's the same with clothes though!

Now watch my Lion come to life!

First, we were asked to draft the lion using a pencil-the skeleton will serve as our guide for the rest of the painting process.

We were asked to cover the entire Lion drawing with Orange Acrylic paint mixed with water-I believe the orange paint will make the other colors that we're going to use appear more vibrant-we were told to skip painting the nose of the lion.

I was so focused on the task that I wasn't talking to anyone that time haha! I thought that a picture break would be great though! :)

 Using pure red acrylic paint, we painted the sides of the canvas to frame the lion's face.

Next, using pure black acrylic paint, we outlined the features of the lion such as the eyes, nose, lips, and face.

Using blue acrylic paint, we painted the left eye of the lion. The teacher just gave us instructions on which part we should paint first, but she wasn't so strict with the patterns-that's the point of art: there should be freedom when doing it!

Using various acrylic paints such as yellow, white, blue, and green, we proceeded creating the fur strokes, more and more patterns, and finished off the entire piece with glitter acrylic paint such as silver, gold, and copper to give it more depth.

 So what do you think of my painting? :D

Here are the versions of the other guests!

Acrylic Painting is a very nice and educational way to kill time-I can see myself doing it again! Now if you want to brush off or enhance your painting and drawing skills, just grab some acrylic paint, brushes, and a canvas from a nearby bookstore and start painting!
