Acrylic Painting Tutorial Landscape for Beginners with Blue Mountains

This is a painting demonstration suitable for beginners/ every level of a simple blue mountainscape. I have used acrylics but you can try the same technique using watercolours. The trick is to let each paint layer dry before applying the next and to think about the light/ dark values of each layer. The main thing is to experiment. Let me know how you get on!

Oh my goodness! I recently found an photo of a Japanese mountainous landscape that has the appearance of a monochromatic watercolor in blue-grays. I was planning on using it as inspiration. So happy I found your channel!

I am a bit confused ! The paint you mixed and applied looks very diluted like watercolor which means that it contains a lot of water. However, if you use water more than 20% in acrylics, it is going to create problems as the acrylic binder get too diluted to hold the pigments to the painting surface ! Were you using watercolor instead ?

[@annamabellaedgley]

Hello, thank you for your very interesting question! Yes! you are correct in what you are saying to some degree - however, this applies when painting onto canvas with acrylics since the binder holds the paint onto the surface. Because I am painting on paper the fibres of the paper hold the paint so it does not matter if the binder is highly diluted. The paint will still adhere. So yes, I am painting with acrylics and using them almost like watercolor on paper. There are some small differences in the way the two different types of paints behave of corse, maybe a good subject for another video. Thank you!
