A Mother's Touch: Beautiful Acrylics made Simple

Grab your paintbrush and get ready to create!

Create 3 beautiful acrylic paintings while learning skills you’ll use for years.

Have you wanted to paint with acrylics but weren’t sure where to begin? You don’t need years of experience—just clear instruction, a few supplies, and a willingness to try.

I’ll guide you step by step through three beautiful paintings, making each one easier than it looks while teaching you acrylic techniques you can use again and again.

You’ll Paint:

  • Polka Dot Bouquet — a joyful rose bouquet

  • Hen & Chicks — using the fun rub-out technique

  • Awaiting You — an expressive mother-to-be

Along the way, you’ll learn to mix colors, create texture, control values, build layers, and simplify complicated subjects.

By the end, you’ll have three finished paintings—and the confidence to keep creating.

Beautiful paintings are possible. Let’s paint them together.

    • Absolutely! Are is not a talent, it is a skill that anyone can develop. Start where you are, follow the steps, and you will improve.

    • The truth is, everyone is an artist! Everyone gets dressed and usually their clothes match and they look pretty snazzy. You choose clothes and colors, decorate your home, and create beautiful birthdays, traditions, and celebrations. You’re already creating every day. The more art skills you learn, the more confidently—and joyfully—you can create!

    • A little bit of fear or guilt is okay, because it may get you going. But a big load of shame and discouragement is not good, because it won’t motivate you. Remember, there are seasons for everything. In the winter, it looks like things aren’t growing, but it’s an important part of the creation cycle. Maybe it’s winter and you are resting or gathering ideas. But maybe it’s a different season of your life and you can do something today? Monday through Friday I study my scriptures and watercolor a floral border in my scripture journal. It’s better than nothing! You can do something too! I believe in you. But more importantly, God believes in you and wants you to accomplish your dreams and goals.

    • You don’t need hours to be an artist. A few creative minutes add up. Don’t wait for life to be perfect to begin. Start tiny—even two minutes counts. Track it on a calendar, a tracking log, or with your accountability buddy. Can you imagine how much better you’ll be in one year, even at 2 minutes a day?

    • Because your dreams matter and you matter! Creating can bring joy, growth, and beauty to ordinary days. God is a creator and He created you. After he created the world He looked at it and enjoyed the work of His hands. He wants you to create too! Creating is healing. It helped me through so many dark and difficult days. It can help you too.

    • It isn’t supposed to be! Paint on a rock. Draw in your journal. Decorate a notecard. Make something imperfect and wonderful. Your work matters. It’s a journey, and if you don’t get started, you won’t discover the joy all along the way.
