  • I need to do this on a painted sheetrock wall. Do you think I will have the same success?

  • @stb2001 You should be able to do it on sheetrock. Just make sure the surface is primed before applying the acrylic paint.

  • Hey great lesson man! And thanks for sharing my music!

  • @echoesfromthesun Cheers. Thanks for letting me use your music.

  • I love your work it is just beautiful, i would like to see an instructional video on the land masses like shrubs, especially the shrubs and that beautiful red tree in another video you did, rocks and also the waters edge waves etc. thank you for the great videos thus far. I would seriously love to see a real time video for sure with instructions it you could swing it, may be a smaller canvas would be better for that to save time.

  • I find it difficult to do the sky, the colours end my mixing together and just being one tone if I go up and down when it comes to blending.... :( instead of it turning out to be dark at the top and light at the bottom.

  • Great Video! Thank you for sharing!!! :) <3

  • Oh my goodness, this is exactly what I have been looking for, thank you so much for sharing Shaunryanart!

  • Hey... love your work...always checking out your stuff...i struggle with the drying factor v blend so appreciate the tutorial. Would love some wave tips. Cheers

  • @TruthSeekingElf I usually buy primed canvas and paint straight onto it. I added a couple of additional layers of white gesso to this one before painting. I will do more instructional videos and I am taking suggestions, so let me know if there's any particular aspect that you are interested in. Thanks, Shaun.
