Acrylic Painting Starter Series - LANDSCAPE

House looks great James and you’re progressing really well!
You could have just made it an 8x 10 if you would have wanted.
Mine is going to be 12x 16 but really having an issue with the big trees in the front :(!..just keep trying! That’s my motto!


Still trying to make some round trees instead of all firs not getting it yet!

Hi @theresebriggs

Regarding the trees, I think the problem is you’re painting what your brain thinks a tree looks like. The better approach is to see them as blobs of various shades and shapes of green and look closely and only paint what you can see.

Thanks, Therese. I agree 8x10 would have been a good choice. Doh! I need to learn to think this way in the future and not just copy the instructions. I guess I am committed to the more yellow tones underneath the fields, so I am hoping that when it comes to any glazing, I can do it with a cooler green, maybe. I guess we’ll see.

It’s looking beautiful! You have great acrylic control. I hope mine turns a fraction as good as yours.

Although I understand what you mean about wanting it a certain way, I really think it’s really well done. Hopefully you’ll find a happy place for your own tree accomplishments, if that makes sense, but it’s coming along really nicely.

I hope I can catch up or finish soon enough.
