This week I am posting a video for you to watch. This is a demonstration that I gave to The Northland Area Art League a couple of weeks ago.
I left out the audio so I could speed up the video from 1 hour to 8 minutes.
I want you to notice the steps I took from beginning to end along with the brush handling.
Pay close attention to how I block in large areas when doing a city scene. I don't start by painting single objects, paint large areas
of light and dark.
Notice that I paint from light to dark, the background is lighter and less intense in color and the foreground has more color and more darks and contrast.
The best part about painting fluid acrylics like watercolor is that when you are painting over a first wash , that first wash does not lift up and mix with the second wash which keeps both washes very fresh and not muddy looking.
The worst part
about painting fluid acrylics like watercolor is that you can not scrub out once the wash has dried.
Use the right brush for the job. Watch how I handle the brush.
