How to make an acrylic painting of a polar bear and its babies relaxing on snow

Hello friends, I have made a wonderful painting of a polar bear and its babies resting on snow. It is made on canvas paper by acrylic paint. Here I provided easy and step-by-step tutorial of polar bear and its family painting for beginners.If you are interested to make it then following steps will be useful to you.

Step 1 - Required Materials

• Canvas sheet or Canvas board, paper To make very low cost canvas sheet click here 
• Acrylic paint ( white⚪, black⚫, blue🔵, yellow 🟡, Brown 🟤, purple.
• One sketch pen ( fluorescent yellow).
• Scurb sponge(small piece)
• Gesso Low cost Gesso recipe check here
• Easel or clipboard and tape roll.
• Brush set (different size).
• Masking tape.
• Colour mixing tray.
• Flow improver and retarder.
• Cotton cloth piece or tissue paper.
• Water in a jug (to wash brush).
• Pencil, eraser and Scale.

Step 2 - Basic prepration for painting

• First, take a canvas sheet or board (whatever you have available) and attach it tightly to the easel or clipboard so that it does not slip while painting.
• Here I have used a canvas paper which has been pasted on clipboard with the help of a tap roll.
• Now take a big flat brush and touch the water with it and spread it on the canvas sheet. Keep in mind that the amount of water should be very less, otherwise there will be a possibility of damaging the canvas sheet.
• You can leave space around the canvas sheet as a border if you wish, by applying masking tape evenly around it.
• Here I have not made a border around the paper.

Step 3 - Backgound making

• First, We draw a line parallel to the length of paper using the pencil at the mid of paper.
• Now take yellow and white colour and randomly blend at upper part of paper.
• Now take some amount of purple colour and blend it above the horizontal line and on pervious shade.
• Now take blue colour and mix it with white and spread it below the horizontal line(remaning part of paper) equally.
• Now whatever work is left in the background will be done in the last step.

Step 4 - Draw and colour the bear and its babies

• Here, In the central part of light blue background ,first we draw a drawing of bear in sitting posture using pencil.
• Now with the help of a small piece of sponge first fill the white colour randomly in the body of bear and after that fill white+yellow colour at boundaries or at most left sides.
• With the help of small brush paint the eyes of bear ,first use brown then make a small spot of black + brown and a very small white spot inside it.
• Now paint the nose and mouth of bear using black , white and grey colour. Use the sponge to painting the nose of bear. See in picture and use your sense.
• Use grey colour inside the ear of bear and make shade and shining randomly on the body use fluorescent sketch pen and grey colour.
• Now make the drawing of babies and paint them. Clearly see in the picture.

Step 5 - Make tree , grass and snow

• Now first we make snow using white and sky-blue colour with the help of sponge at almost 2/3 part of blue background from bottom.
• Use textliner to randomly highlight the left side of snow shapes. It looks like as the light is falling from left side.
• Now make the stem and branches of tree using drak brown colour and in the hlaf part of stem paint grey colour and at left side of stem make one light brown and a white line as shown in picture.
• Now with the help of sponge paint randomly dark brown and light brown and at last make the random grass on snow using linear brush.
