How to paint an easy moon and stars in acrylic - w/ Lachri

[@DeathOfTheGoodUser]

Another pro-tip: Don't just use white for stars! Stars appear to be varying colors to our eye. Use pale blues, yellows and reds (sparingly) when painting stars was well :3

[@Lachri]

+DeathOfTheGoodUser Absolutely!

[@Shortninja66]

I'd say if depends on the view. If you want a surreal looking sky with beautiful stars, then your point is excellent. However, in real life (especially living in a place like I do) the stars are always white (unless it is a satellite or aircraft in the sky) because only the brightest stars will shine through all of the light pollution.

[@judy_561]

DeathOfTheGoodUser thank u

[@GingerGingie]

This was really great, thank you! The kids and I painted night sky scenes after watching this, it was such fun! Love your channel, these tutorials are wonderful.

[@macknickelson4866]

Just finished painting this one, fun and I love painting in ways to simplify an idea like with using the background for the moon.

[@Lachri]

+Mack Nickelson :D

[@2tardi]

Looks so easy if Lisa shows it and looks incredibly nice. 👏🥰 Well, it’s my first acrylic painting and now I’m crying. I’ve been already struggling with the background! Not to mention the rest of it. 😢😡😢

[@SapphyreDrgn]

Beautiful moon

[@bunearybusiness9402]

Beautiful

[@starwars2078]

Hey, thanks! I'm using this to finish a painting that looked "incomplete" to me. Wish I found it before I attempted a foreground, but I can always redo it!

[@Andrew-mz2ls]

Hi Lisa, love this piece and the color choices. Is it possible for you to do a video on just, blending acrylics? I seem to have a mental block on when to stop blending, and applying colors to anatomy to show subtle changes. The you tube speed videos sometimes make it hard to see your brush sizes and technique. I will join Patreon soon to see your work in real time, but any input would really be appreciated. Thanks.

[@Lachri]

+Andrew Stovell This video may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX7EamydZ7B6kK8 But really it all comes down to practice. It helps to watch videos but nothing is going to replace learning through trial and error. Lots of error lol.

[@DrawingWithFire]

Great video Lisa!! 😆

[@Lachri]

+Valarie Connell Thanks :D

[@daniarida5251]

wowww You really are an artist .sooooooooo cute

[@katieskraftykorner2842]

I love it, darn airplane....cute pucture, tfs, Katie.

[@artbybee7643]

Amazing information!

[@Lachri]

:D

[@augustuscarter7883]

I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me

[@carlleon9849]

@Augustus Carter instablaster ;)

[@augustuscarter7883]

@Carl Leon thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@augustuscarter7883]

@Carl Leon It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account!

[@marcusmariemoylan]

So nice!

[@KjJ-rv9jf]

I usually use two brushes and take one for the white paint and how's the other one underneath it And usually just tap the two brushes together Is that good??? Bad????

[@ashleysutton6387]

Do you mind telling me what paint colors you used? I have Liquitex Basic Acrylics too! Btw, the painting is amazing!

[@gwen7005]

Amazing.

[@colinjewett1898]

How did you come up with your style of paintings, and how long did you study fine arts -love Colin

[@Lachri]

+Colin Jewett Style just comes from experience and practice. It's not really something you just decide to do. I've been painting and drawing my whole life :)

[@roadkill3881]

I like this painting but I think it would look better with the grass in the shadow since its lit by only moonlight. Moonlight isn't bright enough to light up the grass to see the green color that well.

[@shivrrajpatel7429]

it is the best video ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paturiramana3453]

Super nice excellent ☺️🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍

[@missuniverse9983]

Thank you I did one and it was AMAZZZZZIINNGGGGG! YOU'RE AMAZZZZZIINNGGGGG!

[@Amy-ms9nr]

how does the background not smudge when u do this?

[@ShaineWarren]

You have to let it dry before painting on top of it

[@marcusmariemoylan]

Because when I go to the link on your site ,I don't know where to find the area to post my pictures!

[@Lachri]

+Marcus Moylan lachri.com/critiques

[@marcusmariemoylan]

Ok but I have o printer to print and then write with a pen/pencil!

[@SirisStudio]

Nice painting.. and you are so energetic 😍

[@Sungoddess_crystal_healer]

love it! thank you

[@arianalyn1255]

thank you so much

[@jeanhurst4]

Super! Thanks so much!

[@strangely_amelien]

Thank you!! I managed to do everything free handed. A free handed circle XD it's not easy. But I did it, especially painting a moon for the first time on canvas haha.

[@kaori17az]

Hello Lisa, thank you for this video! can I use the same technique you used for the syars to paint fireflies. Is it possible to use colored pencils for the fireflies or stars?

[@Lachri]

+Magui Zacarías You could but with fireflies you would probably want more of a glow around them. I paint them with an airbrush so they can have a soft glow.

[@dannalr88]

Where can i find the long version of this please

[@Lachri]

lachri.com/patreon-videos/ :)

[@marcusmariemoylan]

Amazing!

[@jonathanfleming809]

How do you do the background for this

[@aubreegalle6117]

Hie Lisa! I'm signed up on the email list, but I think I lost the original link to the 2 hour orca video. Is there some other way I can get it again? I try clicking on the picture in the newsletter, but it doesn't work (none of the links work for me :/), Thanks!

[@Lachri]

+Aubree Galle Send me an email and I will get it back out to you :)

[@000bullets]

How did you make the moon outline perfectly round?

[@000bullets]

+1979carmens true but it looks more like she used a compass because it would still seem hard tracing a perfect circle.

[@000bullets]

+1979carmens however my only concern would be poking a hole through the canvas cause the needles so sharp and also I've never seen white lead for compasses.

[@Shortninja66]

Creating perfect circles are pretty easy if you just use your shoulder and keep going in circles for a while then outline the average radius. Hard to explain through text but it works great if you have no compass.

[@Lachri]

+000bullets I traced one of my kitchen bowls :P

[@nancyertan6205]

Thank you 💕

[@Darlene5541]

Lisa would you send me a link to purchase a sphere stencil. I'm having trouble finding a good one:)

[@Lachri]

+Darlene Conard I just get them from Hobby Lobby. For this I used a bowl from my kitchen to get the circle.

[@Darlene5541]

OK Cool!!! Thanks Lisa;)

[@bubbleserispe7626]

Just subscribed - beautiful and thanks

[@kittycat0876]

If you own your apartment you can get thicker insulation & better windows it will help

[@Lachri]

+kittycat0876 I rent, so that isn't an option for me at this point :)

[@laynespicer8950]

fabulous

[@evelynrubia6987]

You're amazing

[@anitaholmes6824]

I like it.....very cool! TFS

[@ravenstrahd5234]

I'm actually painting this on canvas now.

[@judy_561]

thank you helped a lot!

[@ldjtje]

Again a beautiful artwork Lisa. What's with the thumb? Overdone it or got bitten by one of your assistants? :) Thanks for sharing.

[@Lachri]

+ldjtje LOL no, I sliced it on one of my nail stamping plates. Those edges are sharp as it turns out!

[@TheOtherStephanie111]

Good job with those "round circles" for smudging/blending. I would hate to see square circles. ;P

[@Lachri]

+ZigZagKitty Square circles are the worst! haha

[@rm104]

Rude.

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

sweet and simple! :-)

[@marcusmariemoylan]

Do I just email you to show you my paintings!?????

[@annieroy1795]

Your are amazing..😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@Beyond_The_Odyssey]

is your thumb okay D:

[@ضوءالقمر-ز1ف1ب]

من فضلك ترجمي الفيدديو الى العربية ارجووووووك

[@SPEZNAS777]

nice

[@rickmitchell6735]

Really like your videos and I have learned a lot from you. Being a 'baby boomer' and a beginner, it would help a lot if you could not speak so fast! My mind cannot keep up with what you're saying and I have to re-watch parts multiple times. If you find that difficult to do, I understand. No reason to change just for one person. In any event, keep up the good work and I will continue watching. I'm going to subscribe now. Thanks for all you do.

[@daffydilly1]

Thank you for saying it out loud. I wonder how young people can understand each other, they all speak so fast.

[@ravenstrahd5234]

Lisa admits she talks fast, lol.

[@fammiehf8145]

can you rap? I mean if you can talk fast you must be good at rapping too.

[@marcusmariemoylan]

You talk so fast :)

[@Lachri]

+Marcus Moylan Yes, yes I do lol.

[@marcusmariemoylan]

It's fine just overwhelming :)

[@leannakelly7905]

Amazing!
