Painting a Mysterious Forest Pathway with Acrylics - Paint with Ryan

In today’s acrylic painting lesson we paint a landscape depicting a mysterious path running through a tunnel in the forest. 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, foliage, leaves, a road and of course how to make it all look realistic.

I wish I could take a stroll down the road. This such a good adventure and to anyone who is reading this, even if your painting didn't turn out the way you wanted it to remember that you created it out of a blank paper and it's worth being proud for ✨

I am a 13 percenter. Watched the entire video. Then when I try it myself, it looks like a 10 year old's painting. I just like to see masters at work.

Hello Ryan .This is the first time I have seen your painting video. I have really enjoyed it. I love the way you do the foliage .The end result is beautiful. As good as a stroll in the country. Thanks for some great techniques. I'm looking forward to trying it.

[@amandabarnett3114]

I wanted to add here that you just said not to feel discouraged and it almost made me cry ... a little backstory... I recently did one of your pink forest painting which was fun btw, however, it did take me about 3 days to completely say I was done. When I was still questioning my detail in the water, I asked my husband who isn't an artist what he thought and he said my painting was "good butttttttttt the water looks like a terrain map" I immediately felt so discouraged soo upset and just completely felt like a failure it did not bode well with me the entire day especially after trying for 3 days to make it look like as I envisioned it. Lo and behold I spent the next few days trying again and It got worse I began to second guess everything I tried to paint and everything became not good in my opinion, especially on a new art piece and I KNOW I CAN PAINT! Just to sum this up its nice to hear someone acknowledge art will not always look good the first time acrylic is forgiving with layers and you saying that helped me through this particular painting so thank you for your encouraging words during your lessons 😊 love your Channel

[@greenleif]

This is just absolutely LOVELY!💗 Watching You paint this has given me some pleasant flashbacks of my childhood in the Cuyahoga Falls/ Cuyahoga River & Valley areas of NE Ohio. (Imo, It's a very underrated scenic swathe of woods & winding river ~ and it's *MUCH* better now that it's not on fire! 🤭) Anyway, thanks for sharing this & your style of painting as well as your style of teaching & explaining each step is really wonderful. Glad I happened upon your YT channel~ God Bless You & Yours 🤗💗🙏🕊️🎨🖌️🖼️✍🏻🌳🍁🌲🍃🌿🍂🍁🌿☘️🍃

[@anshichauhan2575]
