Paint This Beachscape - step-by-step- Part 2

This tutorial is Part 2 of our Early Morning Beachscape Painting tutorial. In case you missed Part 1, go and do that first! It's only 12 minutes unlike this beast at almost 45!
• Early Morning Beachsca...
Hope you enjoy the process of adding all the details of this early morning beachscape.
This is an exercise in understanding the nuance of hue and tone in relation to the light. We’re adding elements including clouds, waves, reflections, being mindful of the "warm to cool principle", as well as the effect that the light has on all the objects. We’re paying particular attention to the difference in the way light affects all objects, relative to their distance from the light source.
This tutorial focuses in on brush technique, your observation skills, and will require a gentle hand. Get your subtle on! We’ll be using a fairly limited palette to keep our colours under control.

In 2016 artist Mark Waller experienced a profound spiritual awakening driven by a near death experience. Having never really written before, he was suddenly and completely compelled to record his story by a force outside his experience and understanding.
His compelling journey of discovering universal “truths”, revelling in the divine mundane and the shocking reality of living with cancer is truly emotive, enlightening and poignant.

Thanks Mark for taking the time to video and edit and throw in some humour 😀 like the cockatoo scene. I have learnt alot about how to use acrylic paint from watching your vids and as always am looking forward to seeing your next painting.

Nice one Markus

Thank you kindly

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

Given how thin you are painting, I'm really amazed that your paints do not dry instantly on your palette, especially being outside in the heat.

[@ExploreAcrylics]

It's amazing paint :)

Really enjoyed part two. Mark, what brand of canvas do you buy and do you gesso or buy it already done.your canvas looks really smooth

[@ExploreAcrylics]

I use pre-gessoed canvas, it's an artist quality cotton. Sometimes I stretch my own, sometimes I buy pre-stretched canvases. Hope that helps!

[@robrobs7529]

Thanks mate for your videos, they help alot! Much appreciated. Your brushes never seem to run out of paint , especially with the fine lines. Free flow must be doing its job or your a magician lol….? Cheers

[@ExploreAcrylics]

They are awesome paints!

You're a master of acrylics Mark! Great work. Also love how you kept this nice and subtle. This technique reminds me of a video you did 'ages back' on how to paint a sunset. That was so good too. You make it look too easy btw. Just wondering if you prep your canvas at all? With all the dry brushing you do, I would imagine seeing the fabric of the canvas easily (which I always find distracting). Can't remember if you mentioned this or not. Thanks for sharing!

[@ExploreAcrylics]

Thank you! Cheers! No prep to the canvas, I use pre-primed canvas :)

[@1969paulina]

Hola Mark, he probado distintos retardadores pero no logro encontrar el mejor...cuál usas?, que marca?, espero que pueda comprarlo en España...saludos y eres THE BEST!!!!

[@ExploreAcrylics]

Hola, no uso un retardador :) La pintura ayuda mucho - Atelier Interactive es fantástico.

[@noturbo]

how frustrating learning is when there is not much natural talent how many times have i been going to throw it all in the bin and quit and yet something keeps me moving to who knows where lol and then i compare mine to Marks LOL and go well another 20 years and maybe i can compare 👀

[@frankhonest8799]

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@ExploreAcrylics]

:D you're doing great! A lot of it is skill over "natural talent". Keep on chucking paint around!
