Snowy Christmas Tree Glowing at Night Acrylic Painting Tutorial LIVE

[@Skirkly]

This is my very favorite Christmas tree painting and Christmas Tree tutorial. Angela is the most awesome artist and teacher ever! I come back to her time and time again to learn things.

[@thankfulart]

Thank you so much! :)

[@bethanyvania]

We had a sniw day yesterday, and this was the perfect project 😊

[@thankfulart]

That's awesome!!

[@alicebrown2007]

I luv this Husband and Wife team!!!

[@sheilaplymire1154]

Thanks for a fun family paint night! At the end we all put our own spin on it, but we couldn’t have done it without you!

[@shelleycreed9442]

My husband and I love watching you create. Thank you for sharing your talent, humor, and creations!

[@amykimmet6248]

You and your spouse are really funny.....not only did you teach great technique but you brought alot of smiles to my face during your tutorial... lot's of fun... love it...Thanks so much.. I will most certainly be watching your future teachings.....THANKS...the best tutorial on painting I have watched....:-)

[@giselecormier5428]

Having such fun watching....very instructional, making it so easy to reproduce with the guide...ex.drawing it out etc....love to learn about cool and warm side...also the minimal amount of paint...for beginners it is also important to hear when you dry your canvas to keep going. I find that many videos do not show this, and it makes me wonder is it always wet on wet.... Will be going to follow you direct on Saturday. Love the "value" explanation ...and like the light camaraderie between you and your hubby

[@thankfulart]

Thanks so much! I'm glad it helped.

[@charlottecantwell3174]

I just completed this today, and so enjoyed it. Thank you, thank you!

[@cynthiacummins2925]

Thank you for such wonderfully clear instructions. I just found your videos and fell in love with the Rustic doorway painting. I'm 69 and am now anxious to get back into painting. Merry Christmas.

[@cynthiawilson0416]

This is beautiful! Can’t wait to try it.

[@AWalkngContradiction]

this is my favorite of the trees this year .. it is so bright and cheery and there is just a light and lovely air about the whole thing .. simply fabulous ... thanks Angela for another AWESOME painting and video ... and Mark too !

[@caphilliips]

Love your lessons because a beginner like myself can follow the instructions.

[@katwarren9982]

Wow, this tree really glows! So pretty! Thank you Angela and Mark.

[@ashphoenix5447]

This is so beautiful! Angela-you give some great tips while painting this. "Staying relevant"-that's a great excuse. Your ballerina is beautiful and graceful. I'm looking forward to that one. Have a great week.

[@Ria22849]

Wunderschön. Danke für die vielen, schönen Tutorials. Herzliche Grüße von Maria

[@joannmoon3403]

So much fun, I really needed a project like this to get my mind away from the craziness of the holiday season

[@joannmoon3403]

Love this painting! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@PatriciaSimmons]

I enjoyed the live and came back and rewatched the tutorial. Love the light in the tree. It's beautiful and will be one of my goto Christmas trees.

[@ildaflorez399]

So Beautiful...Love your tutorials

[@craftystacey712]

I just started watching your KZbin channel and enjoy it! I plan to do some myself. I mainly draw cartoons, but want to explore and do some paintings. I really loved your fox and bear you did. And some of the others I have wanted so far. Look forward to watching more of you.

[@pambethell1900]

This is beautiful Angela xxx

[@lindalopez5951]

So lovely! Magical

[@roseryan1542]

Watching this live was great. The painting is so pretty. I like how you blended the colors in the background; it perfectly set off the tree which is all blinged out. The color variations makes the tree very lovely. Thanks to you and Mark and the Stickman.. lol.

[@leanneh6117]

Just finished this one! Love it! It was a much better use of time than sleeping ;)

[@bernarditapalacios6382]

Hermoso!!!!!

[@beckyquick4025]

THIS IS PRETTY!!

[@barbarakennedy7956]

Beautiful... I am focusing so hard helping you....haha. Thank you so much.

[@loishastings9098]

I painted this over the weekend, but got a bit too heavy-handed with the branches, so am going to start again. Less is definitely more with this one! Thank you for sharing.

[@jeffreybickler6722]

I finished this one last night, and it came out terrible lol! On to the next. Thank you, Angela for another great tutorial, even if I botched it :)

[@sharonallen9802]

love the sweater

[@barbarahogan4796]

Thanks for sharing. I love the tree.👍

[@monalcreates]

Loved the show as usual Angela and Mark! The tree is so beautiful!!!! Love it!!

[@sajid6196]

Painted this & it turned out beautiful ! Thanks you so much for the tutorial

[@SapphyreDrgn]

You guys are amazing and I love Stickman 2.0

[@nanwool]

[@thankfulart]

+Gohar Avetisyan thanks for watching.

[@donnacox782]

Love this painting!! I think I its what I will paint today 😊💗🎄

[@wisdomite1971]

Learned so much!

[@angelamaxwell59]

Love this Angela,it's gorgeous thanks for sharing!🌲❄️❤️️👍

[@D.L.123]

New to painting. Finally ready to improve my trees. This helped so much. I will try this very soon. Noticed I'm a year late on channel. Do u still do these. How do I find you? Made it very easy to understand. Would like to see more from you!

[@sunnyluv328]

Love this painting. Great for learning how to develop colors. Hope I don't nerf it. 😜💥

[@rebeccapullen3825]

[@gerrywinston7238]

Beautiful!!!!!!

[@piper_lori-williams-tudhope]

Love you both!

[@ronnyrussell7]

Love this painting but could you tell me what colors were used for the background as your canvas was already colored prior to the show. Thanks

[@robyns2779]

This was a fun painting. Thank-you,

[@churchathome9552]

Love it, Angela. The colors are unique. I thought, "When is she going to color Stick-Man?" And there he was! I certainly understand why Stick-Man is a bachelor. It would take a woman with curly horns to really understand him! God bless!

[@ritafadams]

beautiful! I love it!

[@Tricia123B]

2nd time watching...may be a holiday card idea for me. Thank you

[@gilligalue]

Thanks, for this one Angela! I couldn't watch it Live because I was very sick... Much better now.. Watched this last night and I've decided to do a Christmas card to send to my aunt in Florida. I hope this will work on much smaller mixed media card. :-) I'll post a photo of it when it's done.

[@euniaturnbull3112]

Beautiful

[@tammyhuntsman2250]

beautiful!

[@galakari]

Hi Angela and Mark! What a clever way to paint a christmas tree! Great painting! I really like this!

[@prossbuddy]

Love this tree.... Plan it to be my next time out !

[@ianjones474]

prossbuddy

[@janeyates9011]

Love your Christmas tree ✨🎄❤️

[@carolineullrich7323]

Question-I just started watching this. Noticed that the background was already done? Saying if someone wants to keep their painting? Shouldn't the board be prepared with a fixative( when painting, with oil or acrylics)?

[@crackerboxpalace2697]

Hi Caroline, I am a newbie and have learned that gesso is usually applied before painting with acrylics. Acrylics are plastic and as long as you don't water them down too much (which will cause the paint to peel, eventually) don't really need a sealer. The quality of the paint you use can affect the archival qualities of acrylic paints. You can, however, apply a matte or gloss glaze over the finished painting to give it the finish you like and to improve archival tendences. There are mediums that can also be mixed with the paint to improve flow and some slow down drying time. However, some of these do not contain any pigment and will affect the paint much like water. I do believe it is called "underbinding" I always read the labels as they will usually tell you what ratio is acceptable for acrylic paints. I can't comment on Oils as I have never used them. :)

[@russelltodd6884]

Sweet!

[@isabelpalaciospoley9271]

hola otro cuadro fantástico estoy aprendiendo mucho con tus videos sobre todo la combinación de colores .Usas pinturas acrílicas? infinitas gracias un abrazo

[@ShellyJo]

I see you painted the original in a spiral bound book of some kind. Is that a sketchbook or a watercolor paper book, etc???

[@thankfulart]

It is a Strathmore Visual Journal Mixed Media pad.

[@isabelpalaciospoley9271]

que bien como has hecho la nieve con el pincel escoba

[@elliemerc01]

Angela, here in Canada we are very limited to where we can purchase supplies. Prices are very high and to order online we have to spend at least $150.00 or more for free shipping. We have a Michaels where I went a week ago and the lady there argued with me saying lead pencil was fine! She was supposed to be an artist lol. Oh well off to seek I go. Merry Christmas to all

[@saundrastewart2796]

What size fan brush is the best all around size to use? I have a 3, and I'm working on a very small canvas, 3X3.. Don't want to buy too many different sizes...... Great tree!

[@TheMightyiestMuffin]

What colors could you use to substitute the magenta? I don't have it and I can never figure out how to create a color exactly like it or at least similar. I'm a beginner, only been painting about 2 months now so I haven't had a chance to expand my paint collection yet, love these videos, I always get my inspo from one of these videos, thank you for these tutorials! :) Happy holidays!

[@WhatNow858]

Hi Angela and Mark! Thank you for this gorgeous tutorial. My question is...I work with canvas boards usually, which are pretty toothy. Do I need to use gesso or some other primer? Thank you again for all you do :D

[@iLLNaStyVann]

Would it be ok if you could scan the reference picture and set up a link for the image?

[@craigversion2]

Hi Angela! I love your videos. I noticed on your pad you showed at the beginning that your pages don't wrinkle up and curl like mine--any tips on making them stay flat while you're painting on the pad canvas? Thank you!

[@cassielavley4719]

I have a similar issue. Im not liking the mix media pad but am running out of room for canvases

[@Michelle-dy6dw]

Overblending can be "nerfing" it in the painting world :)

[@j.a.steele3347]

Angela, I have an app on my tablet called Art Board, and it helps me and gives me practice and confidence to paint. I love it. I do not celebrate the holidays, but I followed along as best as I could on the app and plugged in some other things to compensate for your lovely painting. I wish there was a way to get it to you and show you. I am no good at snow bunnies, so I had to add mist. Seagulls in the snowy sky, brighten it up, and bunny hiding in the mist not far from the tree, for fear he's their next snack. He blends well. I'd love to see a snow scene with bunnies in it. Winter animals. Please honey. I'm from Canada, Deer, Moose, Bear, you name it. I love you to death... You are precious. Julie

[@elliemerc01]

I cannot find chalk in any store, been hunting for several years now (ugh). I was told to use an HB pencil, what do you think? Things like this frustrate me, hugs and thanks so much.

[@thankfulart]

+Ellie Mercer A white pastel stick or watercolor pencil would work too. I never use regular pencil because it shows under the paint. If you live in the US chalk can be found in Walmart or Craft stores with the Crayola crayons and kids art supplies.

[@janetcox5640]

Hello Ellie, try office supply section at target. I found (finally) a nice package of chalk (3/4 different colors) which is small diameter AND it came with a holder..almost like a pen. I did have a heck of a time finding chalk , most was the huge sidewalk chalk. Try Target or office supply store :)

[@elliemerc01]

I live in Canada. Target closed over a year ago :(. Thanks.

[@elliemerc01]

I live in Ontario Canada, no Target :(. tyvm

[@janetcox5640]

Any office supply section of store or office supply chain, good luck

[@sherrynesbit5113]

Beautiful tree Angela. Mark literally had me laughing out loud, with 'Where's the cords ' ? ? :-)

[@plotus5885]

What brand is the 1" BRIGHT brush with the green handle you used for the background?

[@thankfulart]

+Megan Kane Princeton 6100 series. I have the angle brushes too, they are a great brush. Just firm enough with lots of spring.

[@giselecormier5428]

You don’t seem to add water much?, is it because you use the paint sparingly

[@karenscott663]

the lights are obviously battery operated and on a timer as to not waste any power during the day
