Acrylic Shading and Blending

Colors Used:
Unbleached Titanium
Raw Sienna
Burnt Umber

I'm trying something different this time. Instead of going real slow and explaining everything I tried speeding it up so I get to show alot more of the process. Let me know what you like more. I need feedback!!

I only get to work on the painting for a couple hours every night during the week since I work late but I'll try posting an update every day. So please SUBSCRIBE so you can stay updated throughout the entire painting and see how it turns out.

And again...Thank you for watching! :)

I really like your style! I learned a lot from just watching you.

@fantasypoet2 Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've recently started working in the graphic design industry so maybe I should try making videos of my graphic illustrations...whatcha think?

[labiner]

Why music? It adds nothing. Why not explain how much paint you use, how wet is it, reposition the camera so your hand won't block the view, add a bit more light. Pull the extra effort.

@labiner Sorry it's a late reply. And thank you for your input. I look at the videos now and I see alot I could improve on but I was taping these myself with only the camera attached to my laptop. I did what I could and I'm glad some people still got the message. The music is just what I like, sorry you didn't. There's always the mute button :)

Ok, so I have looked up and down for tips on shading trees, and I can't find one damn thing. Think you can help me out here?

[ihateboys011086]

Lmao..well I don't really paint trees myself..at least I haven't yet.  But I guess the technic you use would depend on what type of tree you want to paint and how realistic you want it to look. The best advise I can give you is to look up some videos by Bob Ross..he's known for painting "happy trees" :) Sorry i couldn't help more.

@ihateboys011086 We artists, create from emotion kept in our hearts. We live by our hearts, not always with our hearts. We ride the shoulders of the giants eventually becoming the giants! The ear best hears when it's neighboring mouth is closed. Let the mind be like a room full of mirrors reflecting all things seen and heard, internally. Storing it away without reprisal , create a new work of art more pleasing to the viewer as you have done this, time and time again. Live humble & master it

are you using canvas?

[rofflemows2]

who gives a crap about the music, can't ya just watch and enjoy, and maybe learn something useful =P

i liked the vid anyway...just started using acrylics myself, having kind of a hard time transitioning from sea to sand...but i may get there someday, with a bit of luck =/

@Porrie13 No. Not even good enough.

[Porrie13]

@horohorosrin Dude, chill. There's this little button right beneath the video called "mute."
