Hey there! I have a big announcement today which I've very much been looking forward to sharing with you! ☺️ While I've loved making compressive painting tutorials over the last decade, this year I want to expand creatively and so, I made a second channel! On the new one I'm going to share the behind the scenes process of how I find inspiration, prep painting ideas, and work with other mediums, like oil paints! Though, it won't just be me over there, it's a collaborative channel with my partner, Athena, who is also an extremely talented artist! Though, she focuses more so on portraiture, so there will be a lot of unique ideas up there, which i can't typically share here on the acrylic landscape channel. We have four completed and posted, so you can do a little binge for inspiration, and I really can't express how fulfilling creating these has been with Athena. You guys are going to love her, and we're going to make a lot of exciting artwork together!
Check out our latest passion project right here ☺️ https://youtu.be/VHLHDdnZCg4

P.S. You will still find the acrylic landscape lessons up here each weekend, so no changes to this channel, this is all bonus content to keep you happy & inspired!

Work on our big 24x24 inch piece begins today with a softly blended sky and some highly detailed distant trees. One thing I'm already loving about this new series is the ability to render extremely realistic detail, in a way we simply can't on the typical smaller canvas size. So, I'm having a lot of fun and I hope you do too! P.S. There should be another new episode out this week 🙂 www.patreon.com/posts/103131764?pr=true

Hey there and happy Sunday! Today I'm excited to announce that we're starting a new bonus series up on Patreon where we render a highly detailed river scene on a big 24x24 inch canvas. I'll be posting weekly lessons walking you through the process of how I tackle larger canvases and integrate real additional detail. In today's video I show you how I free hand sketch the scene and talk about how I like to begin these pieces. Additionally, you can find the traceable and reference photo in the post as well. So, if you support the channel up over on Patreon I hope you enjoy episode one of this big new series and I'll see you later this week with episode two! www.patreon.com/posts/traceables-demo-102312238
