I'm great at painting animals but decided to venture out into making animals with landscapes in the background. One of them I wanted a large moon in the background and no matter how many tutorials I watched, they just kept skipping over steps/you had to watch 15 other videos to know what technique they were using. This tutorial was perfect! It really helped me bring my painting together! Thank you!!

I also added the ocean view with the night sky and moon. I got first prize!!! I got a set of acrylic paint with smooth brushes and a slicer thing object which I still don't what is the name of it 😅😅, but i do know how to use it.

Hi this is amazing, keep up the good work! Did u let your painting dry before adding the details? Also did u use a wet brush or dry brush to add the details?
@Createfulart
2 жыл бұрын
There are a few techniques I'm using. I mix wet paint on brush in with the wet paint on the moon. Or if underlayer is dry on the moon I will use a technique called scumbling which is adding very little paint to the surface with a dry brush. This allows for more coverage than glazing which is adding water to that dry brush and building transparent layers. I use all of these depending on the look I want. I demonstrate all of these techniques in my lessons at patreon.com/createfulart
I don't know why 44people dislikes this video but for me this is the most beautiful paint I ever seen and it's very simple thank you

Why my acrylic paint always not paint like yours It streaky and doesn’t soak in as much as yours it’s like it just sits on top of the canvas and I’m sweeping it around :/ Édit: did you have to paint multiple layers for white? My white is streaking all over the place.
