I so enjoyed watching this video! It inspired me to go to my easel and get past the underpainting on my first acrylic landscape. Going from abstract to representation art has been a real struggle for me. I can't tell you much this helped. Thank you!

Turned out really nice in the end. I was wondering what is that when I first saw that orange background, but it builds up quite nicely. the picture is nice. I imagined that a house would be in there somewhere.

your process is so fun and the painting is beautiful. do you work from a reference picture, or were you looking out the window or something?

@TheMollyglory Thanks.I love to paint and that was helpful!

@tashyagoone I'm not Mr.joyner, but in my experience- especially with acrylics (which are more translucent than we realize) -a painting needs a base to cover the white of the canvas- a TONE that will offer an appropriate temperature to the painting. In this case, orange is warm and will suggest a midday landscape when the sun is out. Also, orange can warm up a painting that makes use of primarily cool colors. (blues, greens, and cool hues of gray, like used here) so that it doesn't become flat.

I disagree that the painting ever looked crappy. Especially at first! I LOVE the loose application of color and line- that you allowed the brushstrokes to LIVE, keep their integrity as you put down the bones of your composition- lovely. I love that you allowed your brushstrokes to be SO loose that @ one point your sky blue slashed into the center of your red roof. Even more than that, I am so pleased that you went back to remedy that brushstroke LATER rather than right away. & great color usage!

At first I was like.."wow this looks not that great, a beginner painter?"...and towards the end.."this is genius!"

Very nice style. I just started painting a year ago and try to follow and improve my own style while still watching and learning from other people.
