Acrylic Painting Tutorial 🏝️ How To Paint “Hidden Lagoon”

Hi everybody, welcome back to my channel for another acrylic painting tutorial. If you're new, I'm Joni Young and welcome to my channel Hope you guys all enjoy watching and learning how to paint this acrylic landscape today I've got 11 by 14 primed canvas and I have the following colors blue turquoise burnt sienna Mars black Titanium white neon yellow cool and some sap green I'm gonna start this painting by spraying my canvas with a little bit of water This will help me blend my acrylics out a lot easier Then I'm just gonna take a filbert brush You can use any brush you want to just evenly spread that water around and coat the canvas Okay, the first color I'm gonna take is white I'm gonna start adding that over the center Then I'm gonna take a little bit of neon yellow We'll just go around Sort of an oval shape like this Leaving it bright white in the center Okay, the next color I'm going to take sap green. I'm gonna start adding it Around the corners and the rest of the canvas Okay. Now that the painting is all dry I'm gonna come in and add a little bit of the blue turquoise with my number 20 flat brush I'll get my brush just a little bit wet. I'll pull a little bit to load both sides And I'm gonna start down here in the corners and I'm gonna start To sweep it up and then curve over See how we get a few lines like that That'll be the beginning stages of our grass so you can turn your brush this way as well Okay, I'm gonna use a fan brush. This one's a number two And I'm gonna get some water and more of that blue turquoise We'll just continue adding water Little curves like this some simple tall grass Leaves it's be a little bit heavier with the paint now come down here on the bottom Curve and pull towards the center Start coming in with a little bit of black sap green with my blue turquoise We're gonna start to layer over Just gently pushing the edge of your brush I'll give you some instant palm leaves And making them shorter and shorter down here give the illusion of some perspective Makes it look like this is farther away I'm gonna add a few Extra dark ones here with a little bit more black So you want to make sure you're going back for more water and it's pretty runny It's a little bit more black and green Just push Turn over Turn over. I'm gonna take my number 14 filbert brush a little bit of dab these drips off quite a bit of water runny paint a little bit of yellow and white I'm gonna add some down here a hint of burnt sienna a little bit more white Okay, the next thing I want to do is create a really pretty shade of Turquoise, so I'll take some white blue a little bit of neon yellow a little bit like that on my 14 filbert And I'm gonna leave a little space here between this the sandy path Just add a little bit across like this a little bit more white a little bit more yellow Rinse my brush off and soften Take some white a little bit of yellow and just add some right there And I'm going to continue up here with some more palm leaves Green black blue. Let's take a little bit of yellow in there to mix up all those colors Need more water that helps the bristles split apart and make the brush look like a rake I'm going to take a little bit more blue and yellow Give it a little bit of depth in the water out there Not just tidy up this Palm leaf right here There we go, okay the next thing I'm gonna do with my number 20 flat brush You just take a little bit more burnt sienna and white Just gonna sweep a little bit here. I'll just soften that and then I'm gonna come over and add a little bit of a little bit of a filter here to warm up the outer edges So again, just a little bit of burnt sienna a little bit of white Let's see how it's Sort of patchy like this. I don't want to over blend so lastly add just straight black for some palm leaves in the Foreground here for the darkest shadows before I call this one done again with my fan brush I have one right here And then just a little bit of a little bit of shadows in here And you know, I think I'm gonna add just a few birds with a mini liner brush just a little bit of a little bit of watered down black Take a little bit of white add that down there for just a little hint of a wave gentle foam on the waves on the Shoreline here.
