Forest Stillness; invites participants to create a tranquil
moonlit forest lake scene using the fun reverse painting method on clear styrene. Sized
to fit a standard 11 x 14 frame. (a clear plastic like acrylic, often used as a modern
alternative to glass for safety and ease.) A glowing, ethereal artwork with perfect
symmetry in the water reflection, evoking peaceful stillness under a colorful night sky.
Perfect for beginners — no drawing skills needed, just follow along step-by-step while
sipping your favorite drink!
Reverse painting means you paint the foreground elements first (like trees in the front,
leaves, branches, or details that appear closest to the viewer), then layer midground,
and finally the background (like distant trees, sky, or mist). When complete, you view it
from the unpainted side, giving it a glossy, luminous depth as light passes through the
clear styrene. the opposite of traditional painting order, which can be tricky and
fun—perfect for a guided sip-and-paint event!
