- Painting realistic trees takes a lot of time and attention to detail. When depicting many trees in a forest such as in a painting like this, layering the foliage and branches properly can be key to creating a beautiful autumn scene.
In this video I show you how to paint amazing autumn colored trees with acrylic paint as I begin with this landscape painting.

If you have any questions about something I covered or maybe something I didn't cover in this painting tutorial I am more than happy to answer.
Materials used:
Golden fluid acrylics - raw umber, titamium white, napthol crimson, cad orange, cad yellow, phathlo blue (green shade)
Water for mixing with the paints
Stretched canvas
Various brushes I showed throughout the video
I came across your video while doing research for a nail art contest. This video was extremely useful and Ive learned a lot of new techniques. Thank you!
“Deep Forest” resonates within me and seeing the pixilation of leaves and light spots brings me home to my forest roots, and sitting next to Gertrude as she painted the very paintings which hang on my walls here in the hermitage. Old men can say things to the young that are corny and we get away with it: Boy! You rock! You soar! You rule! I am so totally grateful. On my canvas waiting for me to get started painting, is the roughly blocked in trees, path in the woods, water, reflection pond, etc...and I was so unsure how to proceed but now, after watching about three hours of your work, I’m energized and today will spend the entire day “downloading” all this visual information I uploaded to my memory watching you. I literally will go from 3 hours of you painting to my work here now. Mega exemplar that you are! Question or Request for future things: Can you do a featured segment within a larger video that shows “start to finish how to hold the brush and paint the leaves (pixelation) so my very literal mind can absorb technique. Expanding that question: Can you release to us the “habits” or “gestures” or “brush manipulations” you use to express the image and “image movement” (vectoring/energetics/forms-of-manipulating/brush-strokes)...like I got this idea, see, your muscles in your arm, hand, shoulder, your body sway, etc. all is like MUSCLE MEMORY to you so you are like a fish in the sea not noticing you are swimming surrounded by water. You may do this automatically, but like an ice-skater controlling the blade, can you reveal proper or good technique you have, focusing your “sharing” on the style of your motion, the discipline of your paint strokes, etc. Clear as mud? I want to know how you perceive your own skills and habits and how you might recommend that we emulate, and warn us of things not to do. Phew! I type as fast as you paint! THANKS! SO USEFUL! -Glenn
Returning to step one again today, Chuck, watching you do details in the middle of paintiings when that hump is there and it looks and feels like syrup or crap. I thank you for your persistence. I am learning so much painting. I read the lives of artists, and studied Van Gogh for four years and even got to write part of a chapter in a book about his letters, but no matter who I go to for lessons, I return to you as you speak a language I can understand deeply. I actually remember verbatim the dialog or monolog of your videos, and you’ll say somethng I remember hearing for the first time four or five years ago…man…I’m retracing a lot of steps. I don’t like to just paint well, I like to paint totally beautifully. You showed me it is possible and I do it now. I’m gathering things (skills and techniques) I overlooked. Thanks for all. Your works hang on our walls, too.
I am blown away by the way you brought the upper portion of this painting together! Amazing to watch those trees go from splotches of paint to actually looking like leaves. So glad I found your tutorials.
The lighting is amazing. With the exception of a couple of pine trees, it is like looking out at my driveway. I never knew how to paint such a thing. You have made be believe that I can do it. You are an amazing artist.
His videos make me so happy! Perfect tutorials with instruction and demonstration, plus, he's so stinking CUTE! Makes me feel like the video was done just for me. You're A GENIUS, yet are so humble. THANK YOU, Chuck.
Oh wow the more I watch, the more I see, just beautifully caringly done.
You are an awesome teacher, you explain everything so clearly, thank you.
I appreciate you taking the time to do a step by step!! Love this!
Dear Chuck: How gracious of you to show us your techniques. I really love your style of painting, simply beautiful realism. You are very particular with your paintings and that's why they are so excellent. Thank you, I am sure learning a lot.
I enjoyed watching your technique.

We just recently ran across your RUclips channel and very much enjoy watching the progress of each painting! This one was a particular favorite because of the fall foliage and the really great example of painting trees! I have been wanting to try birches or aspens with fall colors and this really inspired me. You are so very talented! Thank you for sharing your talents!
+Jennifer Winters that's awesome and I'm glad to hear that! Thank you so much I really appreciate all of that.
Hi Chuck! I've been watching your videos in the evenings on my TV, so I can't comment, but I wanted you to know that I enjoy your videos very much-thank you! I love your enthusiasm; as the poet said, "exuberance is beauty," it's beautiful to see. I also enjoy seeing you hiking in the mountains-fantastic! Take care my artistic friend.
That’s amazing!!! I’m so happy I’ve found it! One of the best lessons of acrylic painting! 😍
My favorite time of the year so beautiful .... love the colors. !!!!
I love adding lots of detail also. This painting would be great for an idea of mine to paint a memory of mine. I rode a horse into Chopwell Woods a long time, he was a beautiful golden colour just like these golden autumn leaves. We hadn’t been in the woods for long when Chester started and his muscles quivered in fright. I gentle calmed him and when I looked in front of us, Chester had seen a beautiful Fallow Deer Doe come out of the shadows right across us. The Doe wasn’t at all afraid, I think she only smelled and saw horse not human. I was absolutely thrilled to see her so close and rather than startle her I kept Chester at a gentle walk right toward her. Since I wasn’t afraid, Chester settled down and just walked on as if it were a totally natural day in the woods, me, him and the Doe in early morning sunlight. Quietly, the Doe crossed slowly in front of us and popped softly up a bankside on the opposite side of the road. Chester and I watched her slip into the shadows of the pine trees and melt way into memory for the rest of my life. It’s one of those Oh my God, moments when a totally and free beautiful beast chooses of its own free will to come close a offer the human a moment of almost spiritual repose. Only horse riding allowed it, only Chester’s trust in me keep the moment in time so calm and peaceful. It was just like the deer felt she accepted us in her home of about 900 acres of pine and mixed woodland managed forest in the north of England’s Derwent Valley. I’ve lived in this valley all my life. With only a very few special encounters offered from wildlife living with me in the ancient valley. I’m hoping to paint as if Im sitting on Chester seeing the Doe slip out in front of us. So I need to paint just Chester’s head and neck with the reins to my hands as If the rider is viewing the scene from the horses back. Is that impossible? Hummm, May be for me. But I might try...
Wow I love your creative ways of working starting with brightness gradually getting real autumn colours in and finishing with dark. It's looks like a photo to a picture. I'm
That is amazing, He has Bob Ross energy 🌹❤
Great Autumn Painting! Amazing detail and colors.
Beautiful fall forest. I live in Wisconsin and this looks like home. Good instructions for a beginner painter who is afraid to even start a painting
I'm looking forward to you finishing up with oils. Fabulous well done.
Chuck this may be one of your very best yet! Love how this is coming along. Can't wait for part 2. It's looking real good. The details on the leaves and branches is laborious, but the effect is worth it! You can almost count individual leaves, it seems.
+Jack Schafer so great to hear that! Thank you so much.
Love the way you teaches step by step such a beautiful painting ❤️
You have a God given gift that brings joy to many. Bless you!
Glad I found you; I just subbed. Thank you so much for describing your layering process. I am 10 weeks into painting (and starting with acrylics) and watching you layer and hearing your description of why you are doing something are extremely helpful for a new student. It is helpful to know that the early stages of a painting can look odd (not a criticism) and how you refine and re-refine (e.g. tree trunks). Brush choice is important (tho confusing to me for now) and watching you try one and then reject it is refreshing. I slowed your vid down to quarter speed so I could watch your leaf painting technique. I love your views of the palette and how you brush-dip and mix colors. I look forward to watching more of your vids and improving a lot as a result. Thank you so much.
Those gorgeous warm colours just draw me. I want yo go for a nice long walk along that road. Congratulations on the start of a stunning masterpiece.
Thank you sooo much for this painting chuck!! Love that you share with us so we can try! ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It was a pleasure to listen and watch you create such a beautiful scene. I hadn't planned on watching , but was captivated. I think I will watch all your other videos as well .. Love your art work and your amazing subject matter also. I live way up north BC and appreciate nature scenes . Thank you for sharing your talent. :)
Absolutely beautiful...stunning and WOW! I do want to try this one. I use acrylic paint but do have oils also. I think you explained very well how to do this painting...in this first part. I will go on to the second part to see the rest of this painting. I love the dotting or pixelating technique. That makes it look so lacy and realistic. Thanks SO much for doing this video.
Tried do this painting today. I don't have all the colors you used so I'm working with whatever I have. I am still a beginner but I am quite happy with the first steps. I will be happy whatever I will accomplish today! Thank you for posting your work. They are all amazing!❤❤❤
He Friend Chuck, Thank you sooo much for sharing how you paint. You make me happy with your painting lessons. And your pantings are very very beautiful!!! I am so happy that you showing how to do it... thank you so much and God bless you and your paintings...best regards from Ruud
Love this painting. I live in Minnesota and you have captured the "Fall Blue Sky" here. It is a color that you see here in the fall.
Thanks for showing this amazing autumnal scene
Such a beautiful painting, I really enjoyed your videos & how you teach & explain all the detail...Thank you
Wow..unbelievable
Beautiful thank you. I’m painting an autumn painting right now and this is helping a ton.
chuck , I have learned so much from your tips and style thank you very much, you are a grate teacher and artist .
ME ENCANTA LA PINTURA, CHILE. 5 12 2021.
Chuck, I am a extreme cake Decorator, whom dabbles in drawing. You have inspired me to try and paint this. I must say I have watched this now twice and your attention to detail as much as your communication skills is not only inspiring but you are an amazing instructor.
I would of really appreciated seeing you put that grey mist in ( By road and on left side in the back ) or a explanation of why. I also, would of really loved to hear what you were thinking while creating the illusion of full branches covered in leaves, the direction and highlights, being spectacular. You paint a picture in my mind of what your vision is, and that to me is a priceless quality. I get why you had to speed, it up, maybe a zoom in and explanation of how you created something out of nothing, would of been the only thing, I was missing. However, you gave so much detail in instruction, I feel confident enough to give this a shot. You do not have somewhere we can post our work for a critique? I am sure with so many followers you could not critique us all, but, would love to see others recreations too..Thank you for sharing such a gorgeous painting and your amazing instruction.
Thanks for all the great feedback, Alica! just gives me a lot to think about moving forward, so I appreciate comments like this. Yeah I keep thinking of perhaps a Facebook group or starting a hashtag where we can all share our paintings and comment on them and review them. I will get something started in lines of that perhaps beginning the next video. Anyways thanks again! Glad you are enjoying these types of lessons
You becoming my Number #1 painter.Sometimes I think you messed up then you prove me wrong. LOVE IT
Thanks Thomas! Haha, well sometimes I might actually mess up and am just able to recover it without you knowing it 😉
@@chuckblackart 😁
Absolutely stunning. Beautiful job on the glow of fall trees and dappled drive!
thank you very much chuck for your very clear comments and explanations, very useful
I am new at painting. But, I saw this and decided to try. It is Autumn now in New England and thought it was a good idea. I learned a ton by trying but mine turned out very dark. I just do not have the skills to lighten it up. Thank you so much for the demo. Your painting is beautiful.
Amazing work. You just have to have patients to create the many layers
Now I’ve watched you twice, I dare try it! I LOVE EVERYTHING Fall! You make it look so easy! Thanks!👏🏼💕👏🏼
I so love this painting and your style. I just found you on You Tube and am anxious to see what else I can learn.
Is there any hope for an unedited edition where there aren’t time lapses? Your painting tutorials are fantastic
Yes, @ColorByFeliks has much more better paintings and unedited videos for painting
Thank you Chuck, its beautiful and your explanations and color mixing tips are very helpful.
Thanks for the tips. Love what you are doing. Looks like the road to Island Lake north of Park Rapids.
Chuckblackart is a masterpiece of a painting I love him
Fantastic job, you are marvellous at explaining why you are doing it this way, easy to understand and very encouraging thank you! Xxx
wow, you're do generous with your techniques.thank you do much! you helped us a lot!
I seriously became your fan.....i love your imagination........i have no words. i want to become a painter but i dont have such imagination.... U r god gifted...god bless u
Amazing watching the progress of your painting. Thx for a great video!
OMG....fabulous and Thank you for taking the time explaining. ...loved it
Looks identical to the road leading to my house in Pa...enjoying this one VERY much...one similar to it will be hanging in my house before next winter...lol, keep up being the super artist you are, you've helped me get back into painting in over 40 years
Love your work. Great teacher and great channel for painters who want to improve their realism. Can’t wait for the next part.
2019 This looks a lot like roads in Maine as well. I just found you, thank you so much for this tutorial, I have already learned a lot! Fall is my favorite time of year.
Thank you Chuck for such beautiful lesson!
Beautiful. I love your technique and the way you explain your process!
I love watching you paint. I'm a big fan!
Hey Chuck! its a beautiful painting. Can you please share a slower version of the tree leaves detailing? since it requires a variety of colour tones and brush technique. please!
yo uh can just decrease the videos speed in the settings.
It’s hilarious chuck sounds drunk
Like that your using the umber instead of black...pls try using ultramarine blue and burnt umber for dark colors. ..instead of black. Also...Indigo blue is a great color to darken the Underpainting for foilage along with phalo blue and sap ..very nice Chuck ..always enjoy your videos and your passion for what u do shows in your work as well as ...so very inspirational.
+Stella Soprano thank you! Yes I've been getting a lot of comments lately that more people want to see me use those colors, especially for the videos. I don't think I could ever stop using black all together because I love it for certain purposes. But I'll try to use some more without, thanks again!
Thank you Chuck for another fantastic lesson!
Am learning a lot from you. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. You’re a legend.
Hi Ryan If I wanted to add a few evergreen trees where would you put them and what should the first layer colours be. I was thinking of added a few spruce trees on the right hand side. What do you think?
I love your tutorials because you walk us through it all with paint colours and mixtures. But most of all I love your details. I'm learning so much from you! Thanks!
Looking forward with great anticipation for the next part. Thank you!
Keep doing what you do ! Great personality, keep teaching
