Radiant Light in The Forest 🌟🎨 How to paint acrylics for beginners: Paint Night at Home

[@bricoleuse]

Painting is a new hobby I have taken up over the past year, inspired by Cinnamon after I stumbled on her videos on KZbin. I've wanted to try to paint this one for a while, and now I'll paint it in Cinnamon's honour. It will hang on my growing gallery wall, and it will remind me of Cinnamon's Light, which she shared with us all so generously. May her spirit soar and her light continue to shine down upon those she loved ✨

Fantastic artwork so beautiful painting ideas ❤👌👍⚘️

[@deborahcarrillo9624]

Love the sunlight streaming through so awesome . at one point I blink my eyes, just like being outside and the bright sunlight.

[@ruthdunn1525]

Just beautiful! Seeing the finished picture first i convinced myself I wouldn’t be able to paint this. Your step by step tutorial gives me great hope. I’ll watch again to hear and see the steps again. Then watch a third time while I paint. Thank you, Cinnamon. You’ve given this 71 yo and her daughter hope and confidence.

[@pattyjomiller]

That’s a great idea. I like to print out a reference photo too!

[@DVNGhostNBUNNy]

It was another one of your tutorials that I learned you don’t have to have a limb for every leaf and bunch of foliage and it’s changed my life it feels like because I have went crazy ever since doing magic!!! Thankyouuuuuu!!!

[@lizhodge5335]

Another hour was well spent. Thank you, Cinnamon and John.

[@cbryce9243]

This is one of the prettiest paintings I've seen in a very long time.

[@ashleyw23]

I am so excited for these upcoming light lessons this is something I always wanted to dive a little deeper into.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you for that, so glad you are enjoying them 💚

[@tinan.teagan9888]

this is going to be a gift for someone who just lost their mom! I cant wait! Thank you for being a wonderful teacher and person! 🎉❤😊

[@TheArtSherpa]

thats very kind of you!

[@trishwoods]

And … this translates for me as an absolutely refreshing and healing walk in the woods!! 49:25

[@garyhall7145]

Sherpa, You are great… Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and talent.

[@pathopper8796]

Love your painting Not crazy about mine. Thanks for the lesson Cinnamon & John, may try again .

[@sueperry6776]

I love this painting and i love your red hair.

[@loishess120]

Gorgeous 💝

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you very much 💗

[@adelheidteklu]

Such a beautiful forest 😍

[@tanyaschmith9737]

So beautiful love this one and just as a side note love your hair you look 10 years younger!!! 😍 ❤ gorgeous 😍

[@miss-asketches5284]

Already looking beautiful! I need to stick my toe out a little further and try acrylics. Right now I'm angsting over watercolors and graphite/ink washes. 🫤 Am thinking now that acrylics would've been the more natural progression from colored pencils to painting due to the layering in both mediums. 🤔I have to run, but, saved this for later. Have a super day! 😀🌹

[@cynthiathompson3016]

Spectacular painting! Great lesson packed tutorial. Thank you!

[@DanielleBlanchardArts]

Love this! It's on my list, which is long. I love landscapes and water subjects best. Blessings

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you, and I hope you give it a shot.🩵

[@JuviaFulbuster]

I'm excited to do this one! I did a black and white Bob Ross forest a few yrs ago. This will go great next to it!

[@DVNGhostNBUNNy]

This one is so fun. I’ve painted it twice now. once for my son’s 17th birthday and the other, I’m keeping so we have a matching painting. Absolutely Divine♾️#.

[@TheArtSherpa]

That is so awesome to read. I also want to thank you for liking the painting enough to do it twice that really made my morning and I hope you’re having a great morning too.

[@DVNGhostNBUNNy]

@@TheArtSherpa this is the best thing to come on here and see this and oh yes I’m having an even a better morning now and thanks so much that means the world and just to give you an extra smile I may do a 3rd one because everyone including me went crazy over it so it’s giving me an excuse to do it again! And the mountain with the fog I almost got everything I need for that painting and I’m giddy about it I can’t believe what I’m able to actually paint now and I also have you to thank for that too for a big huge monumental part in that and now because I have confidence I get excited at what is next and I also go in your archives and find amazing tutorials and I look at them as all inspiration and opportunities possibilities which lights a good light in me like never before! Happy incredible morning and day to you always Sherpa and can’t wait to see ya at the easle soon! 😁🥰🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

[@jeannemyers7996]

[@loripettit6830]

Wow! It is so wonderful to see how the layers upon layers turns into such a beautiful painting. Thank you again for sharing this stunning tutorial with us. Blessings ~

[@sandraboyer5060]

❤❤❤this one I'll try !! Thank you for your guidance!!!!

[@courtneysalmon85]

This was my kind of "mopping." Did so much with so few colors and brushes! Reminds me of the first ever painting I did with the Sherpa of some green on green and brown woodlands.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thanks so much, that means a lot 🩵

[@judithsinclair9982]

Cinnamon, I wasn't going to paint this one but I wanted to watch it to see what I can learn...I was wrong, I need to paint this one because there are soooo many important things here that you are teaching that are ingenious, especially your use with the oval mop brush! I never thought to use it for the leaves and bushes...fantastic!

[@marytanner1257]

This is an amazing tutorial. Thank you so much!!

[@luvurobert]

Love this so much! I take tons of reference photos of the woods when hubby and I go hiking to different places, so you're tutorial is on my list to paint now! I especially loved when you painted in the sun rays! So satisfying! Thank you ❤

[@adelewilliams2857]

Thank you for sharing beautiful soul just beautiful your an inspiration to many amazing great tips x love and light x

I love the Fifth Element☺️ badda big boom loI Its as good as Alien, “the only come at night mostly” I loved that little mention you made in a different video. I am definitely going to paint this, I love the colors

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you so much, I hope you have fun painting it💜

[@starbursts321]

Just tried this incredible painting! Amazon was delayed in delivering my mop brush and D brush so si worked with what I had. Parts of my forest are amazing - but it was a total miss on the tree leaves and the sun rays! Ha! It’s a fun painting so I’m gonna try it again now that my brushes have arrived. Your channel is the best!!! Thank you for what you do!

[@pattyjomiller]

This is so beautiful I’m going to give it a try! You have so many beautiful paintings I have a hard time deciding on which one to try. Thank you for all the beautiful paintings and the encouragement to give it a try!

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you very much. I do hope you try it. And it is my pleasure 💝

[@TheArtSherpa]

You can do it! I hope you have a blast

[@pattyjomiller]

Working on it! But I couldn’t get the foliage you painted around the white part in the middle. I ended up using a sponge and it looks pretty good😀 I’ll post it on your fb page.

[@sheilaharvey1700]

This is so gorgeous❤❤

[@SallyL-mx5gw]

Wow this is so beautiful...I have learned so much from you.. Thank you !!

[@BrandiWineRn]

I just love learning this new approach to the lighted forest using more of a soft brush to achieve the background versus in some of your older ones where you used more of a harder bristle brush and scumbling it in . How do u make your choice on which one to use for diff projects? I don’t have enough experience to really know yet and would love to hear what u think bc I respect you and your work so much! Thank you for awesome job you are doing it means a lot

[@crystalblake5020]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@DVNGhostNBUNNy]

OMG this painting is everything 😄😆🫶🫶🫶💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵

Wow, thank you so much 🌼

[@DVNGhostNBUNNy]

@@TheArtSherpa i had to order the colors so I could work on it and I been working on it now and I can’t wait to get it finished and hopefully post on here 🥰 I play your videos with my therapist in our art and community class as well and it helped me help them learn a little more and they are always excited to see what I’ll be working on next or how each will turn out each time! It’s just amazing so many doors have opened and now I have art in the offices of the people who have helped me along this path and they really love them and it tickles me so much to have art work people actually love and want me to sign! Thankyou for all the incredible divine inspiration and art and for the support on all our art journey’s and spirits with all these great beautiful paintings tutorials and the community we all have on here with you!!! Just incredible! I’m painting one a whole other level than I ever knew was possible now thankyou You are part reason for that thank you so much!!! 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵🫶👏🫶🫶🫶✌️🫶♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️

[@debpaolucciojanomethreadar2357]

So sorry I missed your live class!

[@jennydoctorow6689]

Thank you so much for your great teaching! In this video are you using Pthalo Green blue shade or yellow shade?

[@TheArtSherpa]

You are most welcome and I am using blue shade 💜

[@ankekirsten4284]

This is absolutely beautiful!!! Sooo much to learn, and enjoy 😅 Thank you you are amazing!

[@TheArtSherpa]

Lots of Thanks 💙

[@juliabinford6500]

Really helpful, detailed lesson. Question: I hear you referring to patron vids, but I do t understand how to access them. I’m a patron. Thanks.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Hi !!! you’re a couple ways to find your page on videos. I include them in the newsletter to patrons we put them in your patron dashboard on the website, and I also put them in the patron group on Facebook. If you’re having trouble finding any of these resources. Email us [e-mail] and we will help you find them. There are quite a lot a Patreon videos in your Patreon exclusive playlist, and there’s even patron exclusive videos in the Facebook group.

[@JamieLynn-ut5cg]

Can I use mod podge gloss for the glaze? Or gloss black for background?

[@JamieLynn-ut5cg]

In substitute for AGL?

[@TheArtSherpa]

No sorry modge Podge would-not be good for this though its a great company and a col product. Try to grab a glaze medium for Acrylic Modge Modge may make one you can always check with their product experts online they make ALOT of cool stuff but I do recommend AGL for this

[@rachelvangundy533]

DO YOU USE A WET PALLET AND IF YOU DO, IS IT HOMEMADE OR DID YOU BUY IT? LOVE YOUR WORK!!

[@crystalblake5020]

Hello 👋 🫂 everyone!

[@kittyfreya9141]

Im painting a tree dragon but ive started allready i really want to do a back ground could i still achieve this if ive already started my dragon in the middle...

[@veryberry39]

I haven't been here in forever, but I'm positive you used to use water when mixing your paints. Not as much as watercolor, but I'd come to acrylics thinking you couldn't use water at all, and remember being pleasantly surprised that apparently you COULD use water to mix! Did I imagine that, though, or did you change your technique over the years? (That's not me being critical! I'm just really curious and want to know if water shouldn't be mixed in after all!)

[@veryberry39]

...Okay nevermind (kind of), I just saw you thin out some black with water. 😅 So now I'm curious when you would use water vs the glazing medium! Sorry, this has probably been asked a million times!

[@danitucker3749]

6/29/23 4pm ??? Cinnamon JUST B4 STEP 8 YOU STARTED TO SAY, THAT'S WHY IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A DROPPER, FOR WHAT? TY xo🎉❤

[@anessaharris9947]

🇨🇦😃

[@Isibi1234]

So, super random. I'm lucky enough to have gotten a drawing tablet! I'm still very much learning, but I've been looking around for videos of this style to follow through but digitally on a computer. Is that something you might consider doing? Do you or anyone know if this exists somewhere? Most of the digital painting tutorials I found are all about the tools or people just showing a video of them speeding through it without any explanations T.T

[@crystalblake5020]

HI JOHN AND CINNAMON

[@ceceliagranger6833]

Can't watch now due to feeling unwell (surgical complications).

[@shampoochampion]

I’m following along and I find it difficult to paint along if you are basically using the same paint brush that you have in your store to create this painting. Can’t find it anywhere else. 👎

[@TheArtSherpa]

So that would be difficult and I’m sorry for the struggle you’re having. But this brush is very locatable. You mean the 1 inch oval mop by Princeton brush is a nationally distributed brush. Yes, I have it in my art store but you can find it online, and in most brick and mortar art stores this is a Princeton Brush. You can definitely find it in another place besides my store I don’t have any exclusive brushes in my store. I do try to keep brushes in stock. I also try to have a good price for those brushes. But even then, I’m sure with sales and stuff. It’s always a good idea to look at all the other vendors as well. I’m going to include a link to the Brush for sale at Michael’s to prove my point. www.michaels.com/product/princeton-select-artiste-series-3750-short-handle-oval-mop-brush-10518613. But again this brush is available and many other stores. the D brushes are not as available as widely is Princeton brush, but are certainly available anymore locations and just my store. I hope this helps you find the brush and have a better experience with the Painting
