12 EASY MOUNTAIN TIPS // For a Beginner // With Yovette

[@mommawinks5738]

Thank you so much, Yovette! I struggle with mountains and your techniques make so much sense to me. I'm going to practice, using your method, this afternoon! You definitely have re-inspired me about painting mountains without fear. Bless you!!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

You are so welcome Mama Winks! There are so many different ways to do mountains, and this, of course, is only one way. It is great fun to experiment with all the different ways that you can do it. And you will definitely end up like in one better than another. Best of luck to you.

[@PaulRansonArt]

So many great tips for the beginners and even more experienced painters to learn. Love your relaxed and easy going style of teaching Yovette 😍😍

[@PaintingWithYovette]

You are a sweetheart Paul, and thank you. There is just so darn many things to learn, isn't there? Seems like there is never enough time. 🤗💕

[@bettywall2086]

Love this. The mountains are so pretty. Love your lessons. Thank you

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Thanks so much Betty. 😊 I love doing mountains.

[@cm8282]

I think Ill do my mountains again. I loved the way you did it. So pretty!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

There are so many ways to do mountains Chava. These are lighter than usual. So many colors to play with.

[@RichardM1366]

I was so nervous about making the paint break on the mountain! My instructor Darrell Crow said go for it! I did just that and it worked! I had confidence and it allowed me to paint tons of mountains and people noticed them and it is just about everything I paint.

[@PaintingWithYovette]

That was a great story User. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith, and just do it. Scary I know, but usually it turns out to be a nice surprise. Thank you for sharing that.

Very intuitive tutorial for painting mountains! I love your mountain paintings. You have such a nice technique Yo! i always enjoy watching you paint. God bless and stay safe & healthy!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Sorry for the delay Rick, been extremely busy. Thank you for the nice compliment. I love to hear from you. I've been staying very safe, and so far in very good health too. Blessing to you and the family dear.

[@RickJBerubeArtStudio]

@@PaintingWithYovette I'm glad your doing good Yo. God bless you too!

Tks again

[@PaintingWithYovette]

You are very welcome. Hope it helps you.

[@cherylwoods4974]

Thank you Yovette for a great video. I switched over to the water soluble oils and am having such a hard time with my mountains. The paint just isn't thick enough for me, but you make it look so easy and perfect. I guess I just need more practice. I lost my hubby in December of 21 and just started painting again so maybe that's the problem. Your work is always so beautiful!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Oh, it is so hard to lose a hubby Cheryl. My condolences. You and I will make it through till we see them again. I use Winsor and Newton Artisan paint. Most of the paint is nice and stiff like the Ross paint. Some of the colors are a bit thinner, so I had to adjust the lightness of my touch. Mountains are very hard to learn in the first place, so I can relate with that. Try different pressures and see if that helps. It does get easier with practice... Where have you heard that before? LOL. 🤣 Thank you for the nice compliment.

You are very welcome Monica. Thank you for watching.

adore a aula... obrigada Yovette...😍😍😍

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Você é muito bem-vindo Maria. Espero que tenha ajudado você com sua pintura. 🤗💕

[@DenaTollefson]

Hi Yovette! Fantastic mountain lesson! Varying your peeks no steps and no teepees, and how to place your shadows based on your light source. Yes, oil paint in the freezer! I have a funny story of when our youngest son (when he was a teenager) was rooting around in the basement looking for something delicious in the freezer calls out that all my paint palettes with cling wrap were in the way of his food LoL. You are such a wonderful teacher and the mountain scene you created is spectacular. Big hugs to you Yovette!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Hey Dena, The way the freezer works for storing regular or water mixable oil paint is wonderful. Can't let anything get in the way of a teenager's food though. That would not be good. Thank you for the nice compliments! They mean a lot coming from an accomplished painter and teacher like yourself! 💕

[@chopperrickscustoms]

Thank you for this video, Yovette! I love all of this, such great information, and I can't wait to practice these tips! Can you go into more of the "what, why, how" of freezing your paints? I thought that was so interesting!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Yes of course Rick! When I'm through with a painting, if I have enough leftover paint, I put it in a seal tight container and store it in the freezer for later use. It will keep for many weeks, if it is done properly. By that, I mean sealed tight. Kind of like a tupperware container only it's made for paints. The brand I use is "Masterson's Stay Wet Palette" 12x16 or 9x12. You can find them in any art store or on Amazon. It is a wonderful way to not waste any of your paint if there is enough of it that is usable. Thank you for that question. I'm sure it will help a lot of people.

[@chopperrickscustoms]

@@PaintingWithYovette Outstanding! Thank you so much!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@chopperrickscustoms You are welcome Rick.

[@SpectrumArtStudio]

As ever great tips and high quality content 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Glad you like the tips Spectrum! Hope all is good with you dear. 🌹

[@irenemorrison2728]

Thank you! That was great ❤

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Hope you got a few new tips that were helpful Irene. Thanks for viewing. 🌹

[@KaisDinoAdventures]

Beautiful my friend! Absolutely breathtaking ❤❤❤

[@SquirrelTheater]

Hi Yo 🌹 Great video! I noticed something kind of cool. At the bottom of the mountains, some of the blue blends with the orange resulting in a soft greenish tone suggesting far away trees. 😊🐿

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I had not noticed that Ed, but you are right! Very cool. Are you back to painting yet? Or too busy with filming those new kids? 🤗🤣🌹

[@SquirrelTheater]

@@PaintingWithYovette Not yet, but I’m thinking of combining the two by perhaps attempting to paint a squirrel as a subject. 😊🌹🐿 Trying to video the squirrels and doing all of the editing, text and music is another form of art, don’t you think? 😎

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@SquirrelTheater What an awesome idea Ed. You have a lot of subject matter to choose from! 😘

[@SquirrelTheater]

@@PaintingWithYovette Lots of pictures I’ve taken myself (or video screenshots) so no copyright worries if the painting actually turns out good! 😂🤣😊

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@SquirrelTheater That is great, can't wait to see what you do. 💕

[@janawallace378]

I just don't paint mountains. I just need more practice. Thanks for the video

[@PaintingWithYovette]

I know you can do mountains Jana, even with your acrylics. You are right, just practice is the answer!

[@monicacoyle3760]

A pond with trees and rocks

[@PaintingWithYovette]

A good idea Monica. Thank you. So, I did finish the painting, but it turned out to be a river. But it still worked.

[@nickimontie]

I assume this technique would work for acrylics, too? I'd like to try this!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

You should definitely try this in acrylics Nicki. If your touch is light enough, and it's a heavy body paint, it will probably work. I believe it's better with oils, but experimenting is good.

[@nickimontie]

@@PaintingWithYovette I have a medium that I can add to make the paint heavier, so I think it could work! Thanks!

[@PaintingWithYovette]

@@nickimontie Great, I would like to know the results if you would care to share.

[@nickimontie]

@@PaintingWithYovette I will!

[@mariachrysou-hh9to]

Fantastic dear lady.do you use oil or acrylic?

[@PaintingWithYovette]

This painting is in oils Maria, and that is what I use a majority of the time. I use very little acrylic.
