@joannsmith9 thank you so much for both of your lovely comments!! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos... and yes, detail makes all the difference of course! Life has taken me away from my studio for the rest of this year but maybe in the new year I can do some videos adding detail. Keep enjoying your painting practice!!
Thank you so much! I am delighted that my tutorial is easy for you to follow - that has always been my goal, to make acrylic painting much more accessible to everyone!!🙏
Thank you so much for your kind comments and positive feedback! I'm delighted the video helped you. And yes, I've had lots of requests for more videos so will try and fit some more filming in!
Gorgeous! I just came across your videos about painting clouds and blending which I struggle with. You explain the technique so well. I can't wait to try this one out. You are a great instructor!
absolutely gorgeous! I paint mostly beach/ocean/island/palm tree scenes, and you have given me some great hints on my future paintings......how did you keep your paints so wet? seems like they would have dried sooner. thanks for sharing your great talent...(I painted back in the 1980's and quit, and just restarted painting 1 year ago)
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!! I'm delighted to hear that you have started to paint again after a hiatus... it really is a fabulous way to spend our time! As for keeping my paints wet - that brand is quite "liquidy" and then I simply use a LOT so it doesn't dry quickly. However, with other brands that are more creamy or buttery you could try a little acrylic medium in there to slow the drying process.
This is absolutely stunning! I just saw your videos for the first time today and I'm really inspired by them. I like how you explain techniques slowly especially for a beginner like me to understand. Your very inspirational!! Thank you again. ❤️
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!! I'm delighted the explanation was helpful and gave you some new techniques to try. And you're very welcome!!! 😄
Thank you for your lessons! I just wanted to mention, and I hate to be that person, but I do want to say that positioning your horizon line using golden means vs putting the horizon right in the middle will automatically create a visually pleasing effect. When you take a picture and frame that same picture with a horizon line in the middle and also reposition it to be in the golden means ratio (I’m sure you are familiar with Fibonacci series and how nature demonstrates it everywhere, it creates a naturally pleasing experience, and one just feels the harmony, without even realizing. To simplify, the horizon line should be 1.68 vs 50/50. Also- let’s say, you’re painting a beach scene, but your focus is gorgeous clouds- you would put the ocean part lower than the middle, and vice versa if your water and waves are the focal point, then the horizon line will go above the middle. Try this on your camera. Take a photo, and then edit it with the horizon line is right in the middle, and the other one using golden means ratio- you will immediately see that somehow, as if by magic, you feel more peaceful and harmonious when looking at the one with golden ratio. This also can continue with vertical golden ratio points (as in, don’t put a tree right in the middle, put it 1.6 off to the side. Then, there could be secondary golden ratio points as well. Of course, overusing it as if to shout to the world that you didn’t miss that day at school on Fibonacci series, is also not a fantastic idea. I also wanted to add that you are a million times better artist than me (my craft is music).
Thank you so much for your detailed and positive response! You're absolutely right about the horizon line and the ratio, and hopefully some of my viewers will read your comments and have a better understanding of the concept as well! 🥰
If your paint does go under you will probably need to wait until it's dry and then do some touch-ups. Either by re-masking at a slightly higher level (thus re-doing the horizon edge completely) or filling in gaps with a brush. It's very common to get bleed at early stages - the important thing is to work out why (tape not sticky enough, not pressed down firmly enough, pushing too hard with a thick brush full of paint?) and then hopefully next time you won't have the same problem.
@allanbond3339 when the blue part of the sky was still wet I zig-zaged a brush across with a bit of white in it. Because the layers were wet the white blended in (you get it to a point of "almost mixing it in") without staying on the top like strong stripes. Another way to get light clouds is by dry brushing over a blue sky, if the background is already completely dry. I think in my "clouds" video I cover a couple of those dry-brush options, but the particular one you are looking at here was a fully wet layer of paint with the white added, but not blended.
@allanbond3339 what a compliment! As a matter of interest, what country do you live in? I'm doing more travelling these days and always open to a few classes here and there, so you never know!
Again, outstanding demonstration of sea painting. Thank you.
You're very welcome!!! ✨️
I really enjoy your teaching technique and demeanor

I’d love to see you add details to the painting
Any tips in case your paint goes under the tape? I had a few spots under tape…eek.
If your paint does go under you will probably need to wait until it's dry and then do some touch-ups. Either by re-masking at a slightly higher level (thus re-doing the horizon edge completely) or filling in gaps with a brush. It's very common to get bleed at early stages - the important thing is to work out why (tape not sticky enough, not pressed down firmly enough, pushing too hard with a thick brush full of paint?) and then hopefully next time you won't have the same problem.
How did you do those light windswept clouds???
@allanbond3339 when the blue part of the sky was still wet I zig-zaged a brush across with a bit of white in it. Because the layers were wet the white blended in (you get it to a point of "almost mixing it in") without staying on the top like strong stripes.

@@charlottegiblinart okay, thanks for the tip, much appreciated
I wish I could take lessons from you as I’m in my 60’s and very much interested in painting landscapes ,seascapes and galaxies
@allanbond3339 what a compliment! As a matter of interest, what country do you live in? I'm doing more travelling these days and always open to a few classes here and there, so you never know!
@@charlottegiblinart I’m in South Africa, living in Johannesburg South… if you can offer online classes it would be great
