Learn how to paint 4 different types of cacti with acrylic paint on canvas! This is a step by step painting tutorial suitable for beginners. 
In this class, I teach my process for painting cacti with acrylic paint on canvas step by step. You'll learn how to tone your canvas, sketch your composition, block in your colors, begin to add contrast and values, then add final details. All of the supplies and paint colors I used for this project are listed below. I have posted all of my reference photos and pictures of my finished paintings, as well. Feel free to use them as a reference for your own paintings. For your class project, I would love to see your version of these little cacti paintings! You can upload photos of your paintings by clicking on the "Projects &amp; Resources" tab below the video.  Happy painting!
