Morning class, I’m Will Kemp from Will Kemp art school and this week we’re taking inspiration from around your home.
In this beginner acrylic tutorial, I go through the steps of how I think through my colour composition from choosing the coloured ground to introducing the pigments to slowly building up the piece.
I really liked this little collection of terracotta pots, they were part of a cottage garden potting shed I’d visited recently and I loved how it had the strong orange of the terracotta next to the muted oranges of the red brick which was then broken up by the cool greens on the leaves.
On the website, I’ve got an article that talks through the thought process of how I approach this piece and a reference image you can work along from but for now let’s grab a brew and any remaining biscuits you’ve got left and let’s get painting.
You might have always wanted to capture the corner of your sunlit living room or an interesting collection of books stacked up on your coffee table or a section of your garden or patio with all the vibrant greens and spring colours
But when faced with a new painting subject, where do you begin?
How do you decide on the pigments to use or what’s important to focus on?
The tendency can be to just get started and ‘work it out’ as you go along.
But without adopting a systematic approach to your painting, you can be faced with frustration with your colour mixing, wasted time on your drawing and an unsatisfying end result, I want to show you an easier way.

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Will! Very relaxing but effective way of developing an artwork. Makes me feel like I can take off all the stress and fears and can get into making some art right now... Whenever I feel stressful about making art, I just try to remember why I loved to paint in the first place... This video just makes me feel so peaceful and relaxed, while making every steps and techniques so clear so I know where to start.... :-)

I have watch all of your videos, more than one time each, so.... after so many biscuits... well, you know what happens. But at least I'm getting better at painting.
I’ve missed your videos!!!
Thanks Ricardo, really hope you enjoy the painting
Will
Great video!
Thanks so much
Another fantastic tutorial. Just finished your Absolute Beginner's Course and this was the perfect next step. Your step by step instruction is excellent and even when I think I can't do it, in the end it works out if I follow along. Wish I could get the loose brush strokes down better.
Thank you.
So pleased you enjoyed it Carol!
Will
Thank you thank you thank you. I love your tutorials and we need more like this right now 🙏
My pleasure Erin, hope you enjoy the lesson.
Will
All your tutorials are the best teaching ever. I watch them many times in different time period when I feel unsecure to paint. I watch them for practice. Your loose style is very difficult to achieve it if you don't continuously practice. It can easily turns out as unfinished painting. An amateur 's painting actually. Waiting to see your new studio finished.
Great to hear Katerina, so pleased you've been enjoying the lessons.
Merci 😊
My pleasure Didier
Will your back ! Is this to pass time during lock down ? Great tutorial a always, thank you
Yes, hope you enjoy it David, keep well
Will
Thank you! 🌺 Interesting With the supporting lines in the start! The pen with some umbra is new to me.
Do you know if it is available also for Artisan, watermixable oil coulours ?
Kind regards🌹
Marie-Anne
Hi Marie, I don't know of a watermixable oil marker, but would be great!
Fenomenal. Congratulations Will. One question, which one do you prefer in general, Heavy Body or Fluid / Soft Body acrylics? Is there any disadvantages in soft bodys? I've experimented only with liquitex basics which is in the middle of both, but idk which one I would prefer. It seems to me that the soft body are easier to blend and cover, and heavy body would be better for that finish, more brushy look, but at the same time, the thickness kinds of intimidates a bit for blending in the palette. I wanted your input on this because I'll have to order them online, without experimenting first. Thanks
It depends on your personal style, i'd but a tube of each and give them a try
Cool! Ok so is this called a study because of lack of detail or could you call it a painting ready to sell? I never would have imagined how a painting could look so good with so little detail and large brush strokes - I wanna do this!
Your videos are helping no end:) Is there a major difference in painting on canvas compared to painting on a canvas-like acrylic pad?
Glad they have been helpful Ryan. Yes, a canvas will hold more moisture than an acrylic pad, and have more texture so can make the brushstrokes easier.
💙🙏👍
What pencil do you use? Love your videos almost done all of them.
for this demo it was a mechanical pencil, details at 6.09 ruclips.net/video/-mTY1t9Shqo/видео.html
I am a newcomer to acrylic painting. Can I mix acrylic paint of different brands? What medium would you suggest for slowing down
the drying time? Thank you a lot for your tutorial videos
Hi Tasos, yes you can mix different brands of acrylic paints. You can use a slow dry medium although many of them you can only use about 15% of the medium in with the paints. Also, a stay-wet palette can help to give you a longer working time on your palette.
Will
@@willkempartschool Thank you so much for your reply. I remain stand by for any new inspiring tutorial of yours.
HI Will. My mum passed away recently and left me her acrylic paints and brushes so I thought Id give them ago, but as someone who normally just sketches and draws im finding them very difficult to use. They are mostly Winsor and Newton professional or Daler Rowney Cryla. Are they compatible ie can I use both brands in one painting and can i use them on watercolour paper? Im really enjoying your videos especially this one as I enjoy still life and natural subjects
Hi Lynn, so sorry to hear about your um, hope you're keeping well. Yes, you can intermix the brands of acrylics. You can use watercolour paper, but it may buckle depending on the weight of the paper and the amount of water used in the washes.
Cheers,
Will
How do you decide when to use water or glazing liquid?
Water for diluting the paint for a more fluid consistency when I want a matte surface or glazing liquid when I want a bit more working time and blendability (I think that's a word!)
Hi your videos are really helpful i was wondering if you could talk about cleaning brushes and taking care of them in a video because no matter what i do i can never clean my brushes completely and just when i think i did a good jo i see dried small pieces of acrylic paint and when i try to paint with it those come out and make the painting realky weird
Hi Nazanin, i tend to use a brush cleaner called masters brush cleaner which can really help to get all of the pigment out of the bristles.
Cheers,
Will
I got no biscuits left at home 😭
That's a sad day
