DIY Mountain Painting (beginner friendly)

- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2022
- I learned how to paint like an artist DESPITE not having any skills or "natural abilities" to do so. And specifically, I'm learning how to paint in ONE WEEK. I have a goal of painting an abstract landscape painting using acrylics. I want to paint mountains and a valley and it needs to be cozy colours to match my bedroom decor. Learning how to paint was something I didn't think I'd ever be good at or even be capable of learning. But I was wrong. Sometimes we are told by others that we aren't very good and that can make us believe things from a young age. Maybe it was a teacher (in my instance my art teacher compared me to my older sister) who had a lasting impact. Or a parent. Or just lack of encouragement from a young age. But I've learned through this whole DIY journey that most things can be learned. Painting may come naturally to some, but for the rest of us, we can learn and acquire the skill and even get decently good. Happy painting!

I hate when teachers make negative comments, they have no idea how it affects children in later life. You're so creative and I'm so proud of all your achievements so far. Love the painting, you've motivated me to have a go too 😊 ❤
Whenever Dalia says "I have a vision..." It's going to be a good video 😌
I just went through this same journey. I was stressed about messing up but then told myself it’s just paint. Once I was able to let go of the fear, I engaged my emotion and the painting just became it’s own thing. I had to laugh when I was done. My goal was a serene landscape but my emotional side created a very stormy sea. Now I look at on my wall and am proud that I found a way to express myself
The depth and mood of that painting!!! 10/10 Dalia
Girl pink and green look fabulous together. I love pink and green together
Turn out beautiful!
You made a beautiful painting Dalia, sooo well done! And I love how you made color charts how to mix the different colors etc - you're such an inspiration! I too had an art teacher making hurtful comments and it stuck with me for years..so glad you decided to follow your own voice and forget about what she said - I know how hard that can be! Keep going and painting. Best wishes from The Danish Painter (and maybe also a little bit Dutch as well ;-) xx
Your painting turned out beautifully! Bravo for delving into this skill more and not allowing someone else to put limitations on the art forms you enjoy 👏
Shame on your former teacher. Instead of encouraging you she made You doubt yourself. Your painting looks gorgeous.
Hey Dalia. I loved your process how you demonstrated. I want to watch this video more than once . It s very informative.
Thank you teacher.
Beautiful painting! It’s so brave of you to try something new you did not think you could do and then share your journey, you’re one tough cookie! And a talented artist, as well.
Thank you so much!
That turned out beautifully. Keep believing in yourself. There will always be people that aren’t supportive. Just ignore them. I never painted in my life then I took several classes from a professional realism artist. He was a great teacher and gave me the confidence to succeed. Today I’m able to create beautiful art. You are so talented in every way. ❤
Thank you so much! Bravo for taking classes and learning how to paint - I'd love to see your art!
@@DIYDalia Sure. Should I message you on your Instagram account? You’ll be surprised at what you can paint.
@@margarettekanealii4101 yes instagram would be amazing!
I have always been jealous of people who can paint. I have a friend who is an incredible artist and two members of my mother's family were artists. I wish I had paid more attention to my uncle when he was sharing his talents. Your painting is wonderful and I can't wait to see your frame.
The colors, hues are beautiful. You did amazing work taking out the trees. This landscape will change the look of your bedroom. You CAN paint!
Amazing!!! It’s really beautiful. The most important thing is that you tried, you did it, and you love it!
I've always felt inhibited to paint, yet have always had the desire. This has encouraged me to try!
that's how I've felt too! but I highly recommend!
Thank you for the honest, authentic sharing of your life experiences and how your growing with and through them.
Love the painting! So serene, so calming :)
I had the same experience with both an art and music teacher. One said i was bad at painting and the other said i should never sing. Destroyed all my inner confidence and left me with perpetual self judgement in everything i do, especially if its something i personally enjoy a lot.
Every time i watch your videos, your self love and support remind me to be my own biggest cheerleader and release all past fears and doubts
Looking forward to the 🖼
I had a teacher tell me I was a waste of time once, I was 12 during some of my most formative years. I don’t remember much from junior high especially specific conversations but I definitely remember that.
You are an artist. Excellent job!
Yep, my needlework teacher at school told me not to bother choosing needlework as a subject as I was no good at it. I didn’t do any needlework for many years because of what she said to me but later on in life I taught myself sewing and now I design and sew mohair teddy bears as a hobby and make their little clothes. I also make life-like miniature animals with needle felting. Some teachers do not realise how a throw away comment can affect a child so negatively. Who knows, I could have trained as a seamstress and been really good at it but I didn’t because I listened to an ignorant teacher. Your painting is beautiful Dalia and I can’t wait to see it framed and on your bedroom wall.
Turned out so well, love it.
Your painting is absolutely amazing! It looks so beautiful 😍 I think your childhood art teacher was 100% wrong. I hope you keep painting!
Da!ia, I really like your painting. I, too, am a creative person, and I painted several pieces for one of my grandchildren for last Christmas, and another person whom I dearly love kind of snickered at it (later found out they were looking at it from a different angle) which hurt me so badly I have not picked up a brush in almost a year. Your story, which resonated with me greatly, has finally given me the courage to paint again. THANK YOU for sharing.😍
You're very sweet for painting your grandchild pieces for Christmas and I'm sure they appreciate them! I'm sorry that someone snickered at it.. that must have been hard and that would have hurt me too 🥺. But yes get back to it as it seems like something you enjoy! Don't let anyone's opinion take away from the love that you have for something you've made. 💞❤️
Girl!!! That is beautiful!!!! ❤
Beautiful painting. I love how you actually incorporated the mauve and punks along with the earthy greens. Great job. Another example of the effects of words from others have on us. I loved to draw when I was younger, took an art class and was told I was terrible and to just stop b/c I world NEVER be any good. Some friends and I went to a paint night and I rekindled my love of art.
It's wild to me how teachers / instructors can say such harsh things - it really can impact how we view ourselves for a long time. I'm glad you went to the paint night and rediscovered your love for art! That makes me so happy for you!
You did such a great job, and you inspired me to try also.
It looks GORGEOUS! The purple/mauve colours are definitely the best choice! Thanks for sharing, I've learnt so much from this video.
Thank you so much!
I agree with taking out the tree.
I never liked it when the tree was added. The simplicity is so much more calm and peaceful. I think it now has the relaxing, restful vibe that belongs in a bedroom.
Your painting looks so beautiful!! You’ve inspired me to give it a shot as well.
Ive been painting for a few years and in sort of good at it but im terrified of painting on large canvases. Watching this really gave me the push to just try it. If you never try you’ll never grow
You did a beautiful job, you are so talented Dalia!
Thank you Leticia! it means a lot!
unkempt. my gosh!! You are truly a professional painter!!!❤❤🤎🤎💛🧡
😘😘😘
Wow, thank you!
Love your painting! Super amazing Job! 🎨🖼
The front of canvases are gessoes white, to minimize the texture.
Painting is meant to be a release of creativity. The more you paint, the more creative you become. Your imagination will flourish and you will learn to trust yourself and your abilities. Let go of your fears, embrace the process and above all relax. You are a very talented and creative person. You will be surprised how things will flow. You did a great job. I am so happy for you. Now, don't stop. Keep it up and you will soon be the pro you dreamed of being. 🎨♥
Really,, i love your style 💕
I have been planning to paint something like this for months and haven't started out of fear. I am using a huge canvas and don't want to mess it up, but this video has motivated me to just go for it, so thank you! I love how yours turned out!!
Go for it! I was also scared and totally understand not wanting to mess it up... but things can be fixed and just try not to put too much pressure on yourself and enjoy the experience!
paint some more and sell them!! Yiou are on the right track! I would buy that painting, irregardless if the price!!!
Stunning ❤
Well done Dalia, practise does make perfect, I love it, all the colour tones look wonderful 👍🏽☀️🌻🐝💫xx
Thank you so much Christina! I'm really excited to build the frame for it and see it up in my bedroom 😬❤️
@@DIYDalia I look forward to seeing the frame x
love this so much!!
Such a great job. I hope you are very proud of yourself. Keep painting!!!

Thank you so much 😀
It looks beautiful 👍👍
Thanks so much Loranthi! 💕
Girl?? We All KNOW you are EXTREMELY creative. Shoot. No doubt. I can see you doing this painting. I am not surprised At All. I know you worked hard to make a dream come true. You are inspirational ❤️. Always. Everything you do is inspiring. Shame on your art teacher. Shame, shame.
You should pursue your dreams. If it's painting I would imagine that I will see you taking art classes real soon. But, don't forget us!!
You did great! Check out some mediums to dilute with rather than water. It will up your game! Water breaks down the paint which effects the bonding and is part of your issue with your color separating!
Thanks for the tip! I was so confused with the color separating!!
@@DIYDalia you’re welcome! I can’t wait to see more of your work!!
Awesome job! People’s development, skill set & interest can develop & evolve later! I’m so glad you conquered your fear!
Totally agree! thank you!
Very pretty painting. Painting is more of a learned skill and not a "natural talent" kind of thing. If you can learn how to buid something, you can learn how to paint. As far as the canvas goes, it isn't painted white with white paint. It's called Gesso. You can buy a roll of canvas for painting and prep it yourself after stretching it onto a frame. You can buy the frames in many different sizes. Be careful with how much water you add to acrylic paint. If you add to much you will have an adhesion issue and the paint will flake off of your canvas in time. The pigments will also separate, which is what you are seeing when it's drying. Acrylic paint isn't meant to be watered down so much. If you really want a to find a happy medium I would suggest using gauche paint. If you want to practice painting with acrylics I would use paper specifically for acrylic paint and not watercolor. The reason is that if you are planning to use the acrylics on canvas, your paint won't turn out the same as it did in the watercolor paper, especially if you're wetting it down. Watercolor paper will absorb the moisture and a canvas won't. Wetting on watercolor and then painting is called wet on wet. It then absorbs and dries. On a canvas it will just sit on the canvas or run.
I love the green one! But they both really look good 😊
I liked the green one too hehe
You did amazing!! You should consider selling prints!?
❤
Dear Dalia, what a great surprise. Looking forward to watching and learning. Have been interested in painting for a while. 😁
Hiya Eva! Happy Sunday! Hope you enjoy the video 💞 I was always so intimidated about learning how to paint... but it was fun and not too hard! Definitely give it a go!
@@DIYDalia I just finished watching, the final piece is a work of art love, I feel like your ending statement is valuable. Similarly I had Art class on primary school and with the influence of others fell out of love with that creative expression but I do hope to explore it now in my adulthood. Thanks love
@@DIYDalia I can definitely relate with the intimidating feeling of working on something precious for the first time but look at how beautiful it all ended.
Everyone has their own vision on art so your teacher was wrong all your Painting are unique and butifull, and some painting thats sell millions look like a 5 years done it dont give up if you love it
I like your comment!!! Totally agree. There’s even art that’s controversially “ugly” and has sold for a crazy amount of money.
Great job! I don't think I am so brave. Also, it's expensive to experiment. All the test canvases, brushes, paints, it goes on and on. Did you ever attend any professional painting classes, where they provide all the tools and material required?
Thank you so much! I never attended any professional painting classes but I'm sure they exist! I agree it can be a bit expensive to experiment. I think getting decent paints is important (for YEARS I didn't realize that craft paints aren't very good to use lol) so I think I have like "level 2" artist acrylic paints from Michaels... level 1 are also ok.. level 3 was way too pricey lol. For brushes etc, I just used the cheap stuff. The Danish painter uses cheap brushes from the hardware store!
I use acrylic paints like watercolors also. I thought I was the only one who did that.😂also, you can always paint over the canvas white and start over. In art school, students like to buy canvases at thriftstores paint it white and do their project.
oh that's a great hack!!
What products did you use ?
Great job Dalia. But did you SIGN the painting?
funny - I was just thinking I should sign it but I'm scared I'll mess it up 😬
@@DIYDalia noooo. Always sign your creation. It can be a very small signature. Practice beforehand if you have to. But always sign it 😁
I just watched a video from two years ago and find it fascinating how different your off-voice sounds👀😯 in the older video it's way higher and I wouldn't have recognized it as yours. I'm wondering if that was some kind of masking maybe and you've come to present yourself more authentically during the last years (absolutely no judgement if that were the case!) 🤔❤
but where are your dresses from
Now why were they ever bringing up your older sister?? I hate when people compare people to each other, let alone sisters. It’s nuts
comparison is so bad. 🥺
Why would they compare you to your sibling? I’m sorry that happened I’m a teacher and we know each child is their own person
