Acrylic Painting Tutorial - Spooky Halloween Jack O'lantern!

To celebrate one of the best holidays of the year, I decided to make an acrylic painting tutorial on how to paint a scary jack o'lantern landscape scene! If you are the kind of person that likes to do some Halloween crafts during this festive time of year, this might be a fun tutorial for you to try! You can tell by this video that I love love love halloween and love make spooky themed art on occasion, so I hope you enjoy making this painting just as much as I did!
In this video we focus on color and composition rather than on blending and realism, which is kinda my usual. We use a technique of layer color on top of its self to create what looks like blending but actually isn't. This is a great way to work on your "blending" skills with acrylics.
If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below!
And I'm not even joking all mean comments about my clown will be deleted....
Thanks for hanging with me!

This is amazing!! Love love your companions they're so adorably spoofy! I just got done following one of you tutorial last night for the pink scene with trees with acrylics 🤩 Was so nice to just sit down, paint along with you and listen to your tutorial that doesn't baby the viewers way too much but instead push us to learn in a positive way, explains that everything takes practice and it's ok for things not to turn out how we like it to be. Sorry for the long comment! 😭 I just really appreciate you and everything you do. Thank you so much.

[@EmilyMackeyArt]

I love long comments! You are so freaking sweet and thoughtful! So glad you've been enjoying painting!

[@babybeauti96]

Hi! ☺ I'm newer to your channel. I just very recently got into painting. I've noticed with other artists on KZbin, tutorials aren't really tutorials. They don't break thing's down, show brushes an colors, and how to paint each section. You are the FIRST true artist I've ever seen on KZbin who actually does tutorials the way they should be! ♡♡ I loveeee your personality, your very adorable. 🥰 And your skills as an artist are amazing. You have given me a chance to actually try painting, because of how easy you break thing's down to us viewers. I am truly grateful for you, thank you!

I just have a question why did you start of with orange as the background if you were just gonna paint over it? But like fr your art is so freaking awesome

[@coolbrierdjbbbclan6488]

Have you ever tried the tiny nail art brushes? They are great for tiny paintings!!!! And not very expensive either. Just a suggestion. I love your videos so much!!!! You're great

[@katfox678]

This is amazing! All of the spooky vibes, the music, THE IMAGE! I think I need to try and give it a go. I've been having the absolute worst artist block ever and maybe this will help me break out of it! Also, loving the eye makeup!

[@EmilyMackeyArt]

YES! Try it out! Doing studies of other artists stuff I admire has totally gotten me out of some major art block! I would definitely suggest it.

I'd say she's an internet friend! We mutually follow each other and have chatted a few times and comment on each others stuff occasionally. And I'm obviously a big fan of her work. I was one of her first ever Patreon supporters and have been for years. Why do you ask?

Be nice to yourself about your art and know that its okay to take a little break or try something new for a bit! Inspiration and motivation come in cycles. They come and go like waves and that is totally natural! Let the rhythm flow. It will come back I promise!
