Easy Acrylic Painting Tutorial - Impressionist Trees - Free Lesson

[@christinemclauchlan135]

Angela thank you! As a beginner I very much appreciate how the video included every single step and how you named the paint colours too! The size of the canvas is important as well. I am feeling encouraged today because I followed along with your instructions and completed this painting. Keep up the sharing which makes people happy!

[@thankfulart]

+Christine Mclauchlan Thank you so much. I am glad to hear that you tried this. I have a Facebook group you can join to share your artwork. facebook.com/groups/thankfulart/

[@caco3314]

Thank you for sharing your techniques and talent. I've only (very) recently taken up painting, and am thrilled with the result after watching this video and following your instruction. I wish I could post a pic. Thanks again, Angela!

[@thankfulart]

+ca co If you are on Facebook you can share it with me in my Thankful art group. The links to all my social media are in the video description. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@christygunter1941]

I've always wanted to paint. I recently took a drive up north and the changing of the trees really caught my eye. I've watched a few other videos but just wasn't what I wanted, This is gorgeous !!!!! I'm trying this first, before I try anything else. Thank you

[@thankfulart]

+Christy Gunter Thanks! So glad to hear that!

[@dalmitaturner8038]

[@thankfulart]

Thank you Debra! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@debrapowell1803]

Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials!

[@apaK25tvzbu]

This was my first Angela video, which I then went on to paint. I was so encouraged by Angela ' s gentle approach to teaching that I am now a huge fan of her and hubby, Mark. There are not enough words to say "Thank you."

[@creationsceecee]

Oh my... I'm swooning over the colors. And i love the use of a dark background. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!

[@thankfulart]

Thank you! :)

[@angelanash4347]

I cannot even begin how to say how much I love this painting! Way better than the original, the colors....wow!!! You are soo very talented!!

[@thankfulart]

+Angela Nash Thank you so much Angela! That is too sweet of you. I love the colors in this one too. Really fun to paint as well.

[@annevanderlaan6441]

I love to hear, "Hay Babe!"So nice you share ideas for teachers. I teach a bit and have donated time in senior centers. Thanks for sharing!

[@thankfulart]

+Anne Vanderlaan That is wonderful! I am glad to help. :)

[@conniestaples2130]

I want to thank you very much for posting these videos. You have such a gift that I truly admire!! I love to paint, not exceptionally well, but I love to paint from the heart. I could never afford to take a class, so I really appreciate you sharing!

[@thankfulart]

Thank you Connie! I wish youtube had been around when I was learning to paint! Keep painting from the heart! :)

[@heartlandmooninspired]

Fabulous! Thank you Angela, you are an excellent instructor! ♥♥♥

[@thankfulart]

+Katy Glazier Thanks so much!

[@cesarmulero3865]

your art work is awesome...i have always loved art. i used to draw and paint when i was in my 20s but for some reason i've stopped. i actually went to the philadelphia art institute, but never finished...for medical reasons..seeing your art has made me regret not sticking with what was my passion...im 46 now but i hope its not too late to learn what i have forgotten..thank you very much...and keep making great artwork.

[@Iloveflowers2024]

Cesar Mulero It's never too late to be get back to art. It's been a year since you made your comment. Have you created anything yet? I use to paint and draw and then not done anything for a long time. I'm back to it and I'm 52. There's no age limit on it. And If you've forgotten things then that's the great thing about KZbin and the internet. There is plenty of help available to all levels of artists. I hope you feel inspired and are able to create and have fun.

[@suzannehunter8644]

Oh my gosh...the whole bird! We have also done your nest and eggs on gigantic canvas..it taught me my stroke actually. Thank you so much for being so teachable to beginners.

[@herbparsons6403]

Angela Anderson Im not much of a painter but your videos are very relaxing to watch. I love the way you paint and all your techniques. I don't paint as of now but when I do start I hope my paintings come out as good as yours

[@thankfulart]

Thank you! I am so glad you are finding them helpful.

[@juliakeats7242]

You make it look so easy. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing us I'd love to be as good as you 🌹

[@herbparsons6403]

You are the best sponge painter. I hope you do more sponge painting videos ive watched all the ones you do have. I love the fact you use a sea sponge and that you use the right amount of paint and how much pressure to apply when painting, ive found other sponge paintings that people do but they mat it down like that yellow spot and it just makes the painting a mess

[@joeabstractjoe]

Thank you for sharing your technique and talent. Beautiful work.

[@thankfulart]

+Joe Mac Thank you!

[@kuddenbensin3588]

This tutorial is the first I've seen to get my creative juices flowing, I love it! Do you offer others Angela? Your work is amazing!

[@thankfulart]

I am so happy to hear that Rio. Thanks!

[@kattales1108]

Very enjoyable tutorial! I like the shapes of your trees more than the Pier1 picture. I would like to try this same method on a bouquet of flowers ( without a vase)

[@thankfulart]

Kathi Schroeder Thanks! I am curious to see how it would look as flowers! Cool idea.

[@trishcoomerphelps9321]

So cool .. I love to watch you paint and I love how marks walks in and says Hey Babe ❤️ the love shows ❤️ and Spencer's to I assume the second person that walked in was spencer ❤️

[@thankfulart]

+Trish Coomer Phelps Yes that was before I put them all to work for me! Lol

[@donsvelasquez188]

This is a simple yet very nice painting.I like the video Angela and I was inspire to try it myself. The reason is I'm actually looking for something to hang on my wall, and I might do it in a canvass.Beginners like me will try this and lets see whats the result..Also I like different shades of trees..I like Autumn...keep it coming

[@thankfulart]

Thanks! So glad you liked it enough to try it! Hope it turns out well for you!

[@tracypeayswins2896]

I'm a new subscriber since 2021. Im excited to try my hand at your painting as a beginner. I love your artwork! I just ordered the sponges from the link you provided, and can't wait to get started. Thank Angela Anderson.

[@lorelladepieri]

Beautiful thanks so much for sharing these fabulous instructions with us!

[@thankfulart]

Lorella DePieri Thank you!

[@ShikiraPressley]

WOW! what a stunning creation, even though not yours, you have an instinctively brilliant feel and creative nurture to interpret what you see - so many aspiring artists can spend their whole lives not knowing how to 'do' the simple movements and direction of own journey - only ever follow that of all others, even for basic inspiration - your works have definitive expression and individual meaning - why I love and embrace your gifted projects. .

[@thankfulart]

Thank you!

[@susank.zimbro963]

Thank you! This is a lovely and informative tutorial. Love the sponge technique. Looking forward to more ~

[@thankfulart]

[@thankfulart]

[@donnamarchese2457]

I've seem plenty of your videos and they are all great. I love your techniques! I would love to see you do a video on impasto painting. Maybe a formal painting. Thx for sharing your talent.

Very nice. I'm going to give this a try. It will be my second painting ever.

[@suzannehunter8644]

Loved the trees, did with my daughter. Peacock painting would make my day and hers. They are all over st.louis and you teach so well...we are hoping you will do!

[@thankfulart]

suzanne hunter Great idea Suzanne. I have done a peacock feather painting with my class and it was really fun. Do you want the whole bird in the painting or just a feather close up? I am so glad you tried my painting with your daughter! :)

[@denverkat276]

[@ianseville]

hi angela great video you're version is a lot better than the original .. very nice work I'm new to painting with acrylics but I'm having a go at this one I think

[@thankfulart]

Thanks Ian! Good luck with it.

[@roxie1117]

This was perfect for an “in home” paint night. My only recommendation is that you outline your 6 trees with chalk before you start, so you won’t end up with 8 1/2 to 12ish tree like items. 🙂. I would post our results if I knew how. Each one was unique and beautiful.

[@afpandra]

Super easy and fun, this got me back into painting again. Thank you!

[@thankfulart]

+afpandra Yay so glad to hear it!

[@HapsandArt]

Ive been subscribed to you for along time before I even joined the CAC. This is the video that made me want to follow you and crazy enough I haven't painted it yet! lol. Plan on using it very soon. Your AWESOME!!!

Oh my goodness, this is just beautiful.♥

[@thankfulart]

Thank you!

[@GrammyTapDancing]

which paints do you favor mostly? Terrible the price of heavy body acrylics these days, You have a wonderful talent for sure

[@thankfulart]

+Sharamay Ritter Liquitex Basics has sets of heavy body acrylics in small tubes. They make a good beginner set and then you can replace the ones you use the most with larger tubes if needed.
