Acrylic landscape painting techniques. Lessons for beginners Part 2

[xxeu4riaxx]

im a drawer lol! went and picked myself up 3 canvas's and some acrylic :D

kinda getting bored of the colors in drawing :( i thought to myself painting looks so relaxing

the colors are way better,you can blend much better shade etc!!!

i think there is more emotion in paintings! lol dnt call me crazy :P

videos are helping heaps! even though i havnt unpacked anything yet,let alone know what i am going to paint! im usually drawing abstracts etc and psychedelic art

@xxeu4riaxx

Get your canvas's unpacked and get experimenting!

This landscape is super easy to follow and you can download the image from my website if your looking for something to get started with, you could always use this as a starting point and go abstract from there.

Good luck

do you store in jars your premixed paint? it takes a lot of time to premix. can you pleaaase do a tutorial on storing premixed paints and what are your most used premixed colors?

[willkempartschool]

@this1is1me

I do store premixed paints in small screw top plastic jars, if I'm doing a large scale painting. For a small scale painting like the one in the video you can premix the paint then store it on a stay wet palette.

This will last for a good 2 to 3 days before the moisture from the palette makes the paint too liquid.

Generally the premixed colours I use are more tonal, e.g a muted grey, muted brown, muted yellow.

I'll try and cover it in a post with video soon.

Do you use water when adding the paint to make it last longer?

[willkempartschool]

@Pedrofreestyle97

Hi Pete,

Do you mean to keep the paint wetter for longer?

Or to make the paint go further?

Will

[Pedrofreestyle97]

@willkempartschool No to make the paint go further and make it easier to spread on the canvas?

[willkempartschool]

@Pedrofreestyle97

Gottcha, Yes I usually always dilute the paint with water for the first layer, this makes it go further and goes on the canvas easier.

Then I can add progressively thicker paint on top, when I'm more confident the tones are right.
