 Good morning class, welcome to part two of this acrylic landscape painting techniques video on how to create a landscape painting So now we've got our darkest dark and our lightest light We can introduce the colors that we pre-mixed previously If you're unsure how to mix any of these colors have a look at my video how to match Acrylic paint colors for a landscape painting. I think that's what it's called anyway And I go through how I matched these three colors To this landscape this painting is going to be quite a painfully approach just to block in some colors get you started in painting build your confidence and Have some fun. Okay. Here we go with the first blue that we mixed the color match for the sky This is using the filbert brush. If you've got a flat brush that would be absolutely fine as well So you notice when I'm coming to the edge of the line. I'm not like trying to draw out that edge I'm not going, you know in really finely to you know to draw it or what often is a tendency for beginners is that you You know get the smallest brush you can find and you start to paint in you and you do that one One little millimeter at a time and You end up with one area you're painting you're really happy with you think are this is brilliant and other areas Won't be finished or gone to the same level and you can get too precious about your painting See how I'm you know just kind of putting it on and you know being quite general with it It will give you a better sense of freedom and you won't get as precious and your painting will have you know a bit of your personality into it So this area here where I know that it's going to be lighter than this But I still want to get rid of this yellow I'll just add a bit of Water to it and again you see how I use the side of the filbert and you can just Soften it in You know you've got a general tone on there, but it's not too hard You don't want to build it up too thick because then it's harder to work over the top as a change the color that you've got underneath it So because this is still wet you see how you get a soft a soft blend That's nice for clouds because it's not left with such a hard edge If I've gone further over I can add a bit of that blue, you know, just work it back into it What I'm doing off camera is I've got a piece of kitchen roll that when I do a you know a stroke on Here and say I want to then swap the color I'm just kind of working it into the kitchen roll and then I go into the other color So you don't have to wash your brush out between every single brush stroke Especially if the tones are very close like these two that I know that I'm going to be doing, you know a blend between the two So again on this edge See how I grab a bit of you know the paint onto the brush the lighter blue and then work it kind of half over and It's very soft, you know if you You see how you know how gently I can how can work that and it will just You know and it will just soften it in just to blend The blend that edge what you don't want to do is have a you know a cloud that looks like you've taken a big You know sharpie marker and you know gone gone around the edge and outlined it It's always better to keep it softer. It's very easy to put in a hard edge later if you need to kind of You know accentuate one part of it For these parts in here Or it is a bit closer you could you know still do it with With the feel but but if you want to get it a bit more precise, you just swap back to your round brush If you remember this lighter color that I pre-mixed previously You can now just you know add in a bit of that so on this area Because when we look at the picture again, you can see how it's got you know warmth underneath it The way that you can work thinly with acrylics there's more of like a glaze process To kind of blush it in on here not as go as heavy as this so we get some of that color You know shining through you have made it a bit more liquid Again, you know Put on but in being quite light You see how now that's got you know a bit of a warm warmth glow It's it's using what's called optical mixing where the colors are optically mixed between using glazing And the color is made on the viewer's eye rather than having to actually Mix precisely every single color that you see in front of you. So now I've got that here and that's thinner. I might Go in with this paint again Just to make it a bit thicker on parts. I know that's got a real good solid tone to it and I'm just kind of looking over it to try and see if there's any areas that that stand out Okay, we can now introduce some of the creamy color that we mixed previously
