Painting Weeping Willow Trees with Acrylics - Paint with Ryan

In today's acrylic landscape painting tutorial we paint weeping willow trees around calm, reflective pond water. 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 weeping willow trees, foliage, water, reflections, leaves and of course how we put all of those elements together into a cohesive landscape painting.

I have not finished this video yet (I will!), but I wanted to take a moment to thank you for putting out quality lessons so often. There are other artists out there who are just throwing stuff out very often, and the paintings are all very similar with no real effort put into them. At least that’s my opinion. So again, thank you.

[@jackdaniel3203]

It's absolutely beautiful

[@theresadahlby3459]

I am greatful that you explain so much of what you are doing and thinking through the whole painting process. Thank You.

[@beritlindegaardthyrsted3731]

So beautiful and peaceful. I love the water with the shadows and the branches draping from the trees. I could well imagine sitting there on the bank looking out over the water and hearing birdsong.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Love that vision of the setting. Right there with you!

[@Snflwr_maiden]

This was so fun! The draping of the willow trees was cathartic to paint! I can feel myself getting better with every lesson, thank you so much for these!!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Awh, that is so wonderful to hear! Also, congratulations on dedicating yourself to watch all the way through ;)

[@susanrosales7669]

I was still working on the flame painting, but this is the style of painting that I love doing. I am going to start on this today. Thank you, Ryan!!! Please, more like this.

[@sharonboggs6868]

Love the way the branches are draping over the water.

[@carolsieminski6192]

I love the way the willow boughs are draping down. Another gorgeous tutorial! Thank you.

[@Solo-41]

I love the way the details of the willow were *draping down, protecting natures secrets, with their whimsical curtains of evergreen tears. Lovely work! Honestly though I fast forwarded in some places once I got the gist of what you were demonstrating. I was looking for instruction on painting willow tree leaves and limbs and have watched this previously a while back. Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to present this video to the public. You've helped me quite a bit with this endeavor and I am honestly looking forward to trying your style. God Bless and Keep up The Good Works!! 🎨🖌️👍

[@lucylight9463]

This is absolutely B E A U T I F U L !! YOU are a very good teacher!! I feared painting trees, and you made it fun for me. I didn't know where to even begin, thank you for your talented insight!

[@BreysWays]

Hey Ryan! You are one of m fave artists on KZbin cuz you have a way of demonstating your ways of painting. This is a great video of how you painted the trees and water. My style is different, but it is, still, good to know. Thanks for sharing.

[@neha3608]

Very grateful for you Ryan! I am better painter because of you

[@tigrlily]

I so appreciate your teaching and how effortless you make this appear, even though you are applying so many factors guiding each step. Thank you, always a pleasure to see your offerings pop up. 💙 Loved your tips for showing the draping of the willow branches.

[@DJSHADDY2K7]

Ryan this paint has me very inspired to improve in my acrylic work thanks keep up the good work please.. draping

[@DreambigGabriela]

It seems this is the first time I watch you paint, yet that cannot be since I am subscribed to your channel. Those weeping willow trees are the stars of the painting, so elegantly draping over the lake. Gorgeous. Thank you for the lesson. I would love to give this dreamy scenery a try.

[@evelyneleizour6644]

Superbe démonstration ! Merci🌸🇫🇷

[@beverlydevriesburrows3097]

[@frandeane143]

I am inspired to work harder having watched your video. I usually wing it using my instincts but that can be lazy, so hard work ahead. You must have Irish ancestors?? From Dublin. 💕🇮🇪

[@alinserea4179]

Love❤, the amount of information 💓, come 💝 to this 💯, 💖interesting tutorial,,💞 thanks for the beautiful video you share with us.💖.💯.💓.

[@eloisewalker352]

This is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

[@parirezaei1737]

wow this is the best ever!

[@guyhiebert]

Your images though in the beginning are shapes that are big your technique is great your brush strokes are small and fine. Your video is like watching a production on TV. And you even talk about the little stuff that are important at the big. So thank you for your time and effort to share the painting with us. How do you keep the blobs of paint from drying?

[@lefthandstory1280]

Great landscape painting

[@DANCESTUDIO8]

the draping of your painting is very pretty! thanks for sharing!

[@johnsquires2209]

That’s some nice draping in your painting. Well done.

[@beverlydevriesburrows3097]

Beautiful draping. I want to get a fan brush like that.

[@kristenapivovar4580]

He does sell his brushes.. just FYI.. So you can get a fan brush like that 😁

[@jackdaniel3203]

I just became a great-grandmother period. My great-granddaughter's name is Willow. I would love to paint this particular painting. I notice that the canvas is an 8 / 10. Can I enlarge the grid so i use a bigger canvas?

[@emanahmed7076]

if you know, you know: DRAPING

[@cynthiahager7546]

Wowie Zowie! I’m subscribing 👍

[@lorenacharlotte8383]

Thank you very much for both painting and tutorial. I was wondering if you have 😅created in acrylics a whole willow tree with tutorial. I have been trying to paint a whole willow tree since last week but didn’t succeed. None of them are beautiful, nor they have a realistic look.

[@lorenacharlotte8383]

* Not sure how I managed to send you “😅” in post above. I meant to type ; “😊” as a token of empathy but for some reason I clicked on the wrong one ☝️. Oh well ...

[@nitrofic914]

Something ive been wondering is do you use something like liquid white or do you make you brush wet with water first or is it just completely dry

[@melissanikhila]

What is patron? Is that your website or is that on KZbin

[@sharonc7031]

Well done.

[@NatureIsBeautiful-8324]

Your painting is beautiful. I love weeping willows they are one of my favorite trees😍 Thank you for teaching how to paint them. May God Bless you and your family!😄

[@evelyneleizour6644]

Très beau !! Can you give the name of the colors used please ? Thank you🌸🇫🇷

[@rOmeyODavid_o08891]

[@onlythebrave7635]

18:20 32:32 55:15 1:53:43 DONE😋

[@alesha9000]

Is there a way to mix green gold?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

You can add a little yellow ochre into a lot of per-existing greens and it will help you achieve that color. You essentially just want to make a warmer green

[@guyhiebert]

Did you whisper " There we go " at 2:35:17 and at 2:35:34 then says " And How " just as you were finishing off all your Thank You's. Oh and Drapping

[@sergiocuadras7170]

Genial 🦊👏👏👏👏👏

[@lanceamillion]

😍🖑ABSOLUTELY A GUARGOUS PAINTING!!!🏞🏕🏜🎨💜💛💚💙❤🌞🌞🌞🌟🌟🌟🏆🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅

[@heatheranderson1821]

Once again, it was a wonderful lesson! I love the way the Willow branches are draping over the water.

[@carolstoneart3599]

I so enjoyed this painting. Those trees just draping with beauty. You are an amazing artist who teaches us the best!! Thank you.

[@Hanaki1984]

Hello Ryan, I have a simple question. First I love all of your videos. I am watching an older video. The Moose in the Foggy Forest. I love to paint and get so inspired by watching others paint. However, I go through a lot of brushes. Which can get costly. Is there a chance you can do a video or a quick response on proper cleaning techniques? I find my bristles tend to fray quite often. Don't get me wrong that can add amazing texture and bushes leaves etc... BUT I don't always want to buy new brushes. Seeing your work, and all your pieces come out great, I would hope to get advice from someone I enjoy watching. (first-time commenter) Thank you for your video and have a great day!

[@mandylynfoxgod]

That's beautiful, thank you for sharing.. Definitely going to give this a try!
