FLAMINGO DREAM

Flamingos are very magnificent birds: they have a beautiful pink colour, long legs, and extremely flexible necks. Even the grumpy Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland appreciated them, playing croquet with them. Elena Nahum Leroy, your instructor, painted them one day and now you have a chance to paint similar one in acrylic, with wide brushstrokes and balanced colours.
