Painting a Summer Forest Path with Acrylics Paint with Ryan

In today’s acrylic painting lesson we paint a landscape depicting a misty path running through a forest full of leaves and foliage. This relaxing painting tutorial is completed for the most part in real time and will cover the step by step process of how to paint trees, reflections, leaves and of course how to make it all look realistic. You can find the colors I used for this palette listed below in the description.

A clear palette placed over the reference image to create a color match is GENUIS! Thank you so much for giving us that tip!! Now back to watching your beautiful work!

[@victoresquivel8752]

Watching the whole process from beginning to end was an awesome adventure

[@sy2.083]

I love the meticulous way in which u mix and compare your colors-it has taught me to b way more patient with my color mixing AND not to settle for a color that is “relatively” close! Thank you.

[@mykidshavetalent]

Thank you for taking me on this beautiful adventure with you 😊

[@janhall5959]

I spend my free time walking in the forest, love the bridge and path, beautiful!

[@lisajohnson5216]

Omg. When I follow your work as I paint…… it’s like magic!! I am so pleased with the outcome! I’ve looked back at your work and there are so many prices that I’d like to try myself. Your techniques are so helpful. As a beginner (me) you help me look advanced. Thankyou. Love your art!!!!

[@kathleensimons7062]

I just finished this painting for the wife of a good friend, who died suddenly at 61 years old. I love your works of art, Ryan. You go into so much detail and it's easy to follow along. I don't know how to send you a picture of mine but thank you for sharing. This is the perfect, calm and serene painting. Thanks again. 💙

[@DrSirmacek]

It would take whole my life to paint this.

[@alishbakhan4902]

I also thought that but following his instructions I paint it in 3 days and it was beautiful

[@AntoLerma]

[@nicolassmith1278]

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today????

[@helenrivers7345]

Ryan this is a video that I will watch over and over. There are so many skills that you have displayed. The end painting is wonderful…soft, yet sharp…a painting you could lose yourself in. Thank you!

[@jennipurr77]

Thank you for leading me on a wonderful adventure this evening.

[@Nanetteb]

Well had a great adventure. I have followed your work for some time and have done around 10 of these wonderful paintings. I’m a nurse and my patients love them. 😊 Thank you for giving me the confidence to do them. Oh btw I give them away I never sell them. 3:03:23

[@nancyhanson9629]

I personally always love nature adventures. Keep them coming. Love this!

[@theresadailey5809]

Your a good teacher, love your videos, I love it how you walk us thru the painting process, 😊

[@lorirobertson4aliens]

This adventure was so informative….teaching different ways to break down the compositional decisions you made in creating this…thank you!

[@uget2go2]

Fantastic adventurous journey! Thank you!

[@XenaArt]

*_💜JUST UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTY 💖_*

[@seeuu55williams26]

Thank you for this wonderful learning adventure. It truly inspired me to attempt more depth and perspective, and to understand layers in a meaningful way.

[@neilpittsley3856]

EXCELLENT video! I learned more in the last 20 minutes than in the previous 8 months!

[@terricraft6488]

I love an adventure into the woods.

[@edwardlongo7492]

Today was a realistic fantastic journey and great adventure, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.!!

[@lemonlemon7272]

omg ryan i tried painting it, it almost took me an entire day and ive never painted something as good as this before. it looks so good. im gonna follow the other tutorials too. thank you so much. i just used to watch your videos but never tried painting any but i tried this time. ill try some more thank you so much

[@lee02jepson]

Loved following along, painting. I didn't paint as far as you did, stopped before putting the bridge in, turned it into a dirt trail as I loved painting the two large trees, started playing with the roots going into the leaves +soil and didn't want that to be covered by the bridge. Learned a LOT from you. Love that you tell us the colours, mixing tips + brush tips. Watch the rest of the vid however as I wanted to pick up more information from you. I just did a small 6x8 card painting but plan on doing much more with you. Thanks again.

[@jinxlouw]

What an adventure following your exciting lesson. Thanks!

[@harinidurbhaka403]

Its been an adventure to watch this lesson. Thank you so much for explaining the details. I will be watching this video multiple times. Thank you again.

[@kitten008]

I love your work, and teachings! Thank you for making my art adventures more fun, and cteative!

[@KoriandrOfTheStars]

It's been a LONG time since I've had the chance to watch your tutorials and see you paint!

[@ErickWhite-Gronok]

I started watching this as I began trying my own paintings. I tried to work some Bob Ross style with acrylics and then started refining some with my understanding of the other paints. It's been an interesting adventure in trying to reconcile my desire, and my skill in others with my less skill with painting. Though, I hope I am getting better. Course I am already more critical of myself than others. Thanks for this. I think i am going to try some of the grasses and flowers in with one of my current paintings in the foreground with my mounts in the back. Thanks.

[@amandafitzsimons4106]

Yes! Can't wait to try this one!
