Sunrays Over the Valley (Acrylic painting)

[@lisacook8576]

Beautiful! You inspire me paint acrylics even though I have painted oils all my life. You make everything look so easy and show us that we just have to try. Thank you so much for you videos. I'm so happy for the new of your baby, you deserve the joy life will bring you and Sofie. You have so much shared so much of you wonderful skills and talent with us, you deserve so much! Thank you!

[@IMO-d2]

You just made Acrylic paint look like Oil paint...Awesome Love the finished painting!

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

I agree

[@flooklh]

Thank you for a beautiful demonstration. You seem just as at home with acrylics as with oils... I'm in awe. Congratulations

[@Citizen_X.]

Sharing this for anyone interested with Acrylics. One can create a home-made stay wet palette with just a flattish plastic box and some wet paper towels. Add freezing paper on the top layer. Once you place the paint on the paper and cover it, the paint will stay moist for days. Serious.

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

thanks for info

[@Citizen_X.]

Luis NgchongJrArt I am glad that my comment was helpful. HNO3 NO2 It works brother. I use it regularly.

[@bigman7877]

Xiao Hei oh so you can use a spray bottle I prefer using a misting bottle you can use that misting bottle and spoil your canvas and your pants every 1 minute to 2 minutes that usually works for me but I'll try your technique 2

[@lucygray6162]

Good idea. The Sta Wet palettes aren't as good as in the years past--mostly, the new red lids bow in the middle and do not stay on like the old blue ones. Seems to be a manufacturing glitch. Really awkward if you're transporting the stupid thing to classes or plein air with a lid sliding around over wet paint. However--they did keep my acrylics damp and usable for almost a month. i think a tupperware set would work just as well, with paper and sponge cut to size, and would be a lot easier to carry.

[@lynnrussell467]

Thanks! 😃

[@icegypsy99]

I have been having so much trouble with clouds / skies in acrylics. Going over the sky with the grey mix and then dropping in the blue is genius!! It works so well. By far the easiest, and most fun way to do skys. Thank you so much!! This has helped me immensely :)

[@BonnieReed-np9qu]

I am an acrylic artist, so I love this. I often do acrylics from your oil tutorials. Thank you!

[@mahamkhan7365]

How to do acrylic colour I mean do you mixed water with acrylic paint? I used to do water colour paintings but now I want to switch towards the acrylic one. So that's why I'm asking it

[@kimberlyreuter6825]

I know I’m not supposed to and it was only by accident, but I love painting with an oil brush I found with acrylic paint. I’m an acrylic painter so I’ve never used oil. Love this tutorial and all the things you add to make me a better painter

[@curtriceennis2924]

Thank you so very much for doing this sunset in acrylics because that's the paint I use - sooo happy!!! 😊😊😊 I know how it's been here for quite awhile, but, I'm "fairly new" to viewing your videos here on KZbin. And, I do appreciate ALL your videos you provide for us - oils and acrylics. 😀 Thank you, Mr. Hill, for showing us your talent, and, keeping us encouraged - just yesterday, I had said to myself (when I couldn't get a painting to look right) "What would Kevin *say* in one of his classes if you were there?" Here's what I think: "You're practicing with every Painting you do - don't give up. Just use the techniques you know, and, blend and soften as you can. You can do it." (Just something like that. My husband would say something like that, too.) Well, as a result, I *haven't* given up. So, thank you again for the inspiration and for sharing your videos.

[@EvergreenAcupuncture]

And on the eighth day Kevin said, “Let there be mountains... very suddenly.” Lol

[@vinniciusrosa8284]

Haha

[@donnadavis2883]

Love your teaching technique...easy to follow and you make it look so easy! Thank you so much for doing the video sharing your talent!

[@chrisgriffin9164]

Thank you so very much for sharing and going through this step by step. so very helpful.

[@1sacoyle]

Best stay wet palette for acrylics is the Masterson stay wet palettes which comes with palette paper and a sponge. Your acrylics will stay wet for a week or so. I use a sheet of glass instead of palette paper for easy cleaning.

[@pmb5005]

Would love to see a lot more acrylic tutorials? Sunsets are so hard to blend. You make it look easy! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@karennaturallyartby]

To blend and get soft edges i like to put the paint on, like white for highlights on the clouds, then use a clean brush that is barely damp to blend the edges.

[@stevenietz2531]

I love your style and your absolutely sweet engagement!! Keep the fantastic work up, dear Kevin! It’s already guiding me amazingly! Due to your charme and smartness😊

[@harmeetsingh_arts1984]

You are a Legend !!!! SIR !!!!

[@marilynrandall9337]

Thanks for explaining how much water was used.

[@artmycrush4549]

Superb performance.....

[@MorgansCreativeLife]

Omg you are literally so amazing ! This painting is so inspiring and beautiful ! I will definitely be painting a sunset very soon! Thanks for the inspiration

[@Iggzistentialism]

I'd have loved to have seen the landscaping jump skipped at 14:24, but....awesome video! Really helped me out with my clouds/skies in acrylics.

[@pamketron]

Great job Kevin. I look forward to all your tutorials. My fav painter. Love how you explain things. 🎨🖌 Happy Painting 🖌🎨

[@catherinegreenup4608]

Yes, I love them, I mainly use this one it’s very versatile, they call them Dagger brushes, well Langnickle and Daler Rowney call them Dagger anyway.

[@joyellis3354]

What a lovely picture the colours are awesome thank you

[@kloea6511]

Beautiful painting as always Kevin. Thanks for the tips

[@suechilcott6643]

This one is awesome Kevin very simple but so beautiful

[@TomatoSoupxD]

Really interested to see you working will acrylics, they're my medium of choice ^^ I'm terrified of oils and I guess I "cheat" a little with acrylics. I love to use Golden's open acrylics, they're slow drying like oils but don't require solvents to clean up which is handy! Thank you for the video Kevin :)

[@artmycrush4549]

Awesome video

[@analiabaigorria9968]

Hermoso!!!! Bendiciones y mucha Luz en tu vida!!!!

[@Fred-ov5vb]

Great video Kevin. it demonstrates that a wonderful painting can be created regardless of the type of paint used!

[@shairminanjum2126]

really thanks that u start working with Acrylics. its a great help for me.☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

[@janayar4300]

I took a picture Christmas morning in the mountains with a very similar sunrise.

You also have a nice calm voice to listen to

[@susanrussell1555]

awsome sunset. I paint watercolors and want to try something like this. Thanks.

[@underfire987]

please do keep up the acrylics really helps me out would love to see you do some fantasy characters or something though I do not know if that is your taste or not.

[@darI33n]

I learned so much from this video. Thank you.

So beautiful painting and obsessed with your voice 💗

[@sureshshenoy6393]

Nice work. Beautiful.

[@georgeharrow6485]

Awesome painting Kevin. Looks amazing. You make it look so easy. I've done a couple of paintings and stopped since then. Too scared to get back into it cause I'm afraid my paintings will look terrible so I haven't touched a brush for months.

[@mohammadsheikh8848]

Hi there greetings from Mohd. Shaikh India. I take this liberty to tell you, please do not give up. It was same with me but I keep practicing no matter where I endup but I am improving:) Remember every expert was once a biginner right? Bes regards

[@krystyna838]

you should try going back you might surprise yourself i did the same thing i painted a few years ago but got so frustrated of my little to no results then me and some of my friends went to a paint night class and i was inspired to try again so i looked up a few lessons online and their tutorials and im actually so happy i gave it another go ive been doing it for about 6 months now and i havent stopped i even started doing fluid painting and abstract. i wish i had a picture of a before and after so you can see that these artists on here truly inspire you and help you grow and learn. you never know.

[@TheGazingstar1971]

I wish when you are teaching your steps that you include the colors to start with first Thank you!

[@artmycrush4549]

[@elsamyriam7604]

I learn a lot from you specially about the brushes. Thank you. Blessings.

[@nutcracker5094]

This is so real

[@betholuz7756]

te amo Kevin!

[@trenaKg]

Hey Kevin, have you tried an acrylic retarder? Acts much like linseed oil. Dries much faster than oil paints, but slower than using only the acrylic paint itself. I’d love to see a video of you giving it a try.

[@pascale2122]

Just for people to know acrylic are not supose to be use with more then 40% water or it can create underbinding of the paint you better use a glazing medium like golden slower and glazing medium not sure of the name exactly or to use white as a transparent using zinc white is the best for those effect. So now you know dont get surprise if you use too much water anyway acrylic are mostly transparent color so glazing is easy

[@srikanthvudya8773]

very skilled work

[@artmycrush4549]

It's beautiful 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@NatashaWaris]

Wow, this was beautiful 😍😍😍

[@artmycrush4549]

Fantastic art

[@anujachoksi8139]

Hello Kevin, thats an awesome painting...can i request you to do a video explaining how to mix colours for the same and what colours to use primarily...i have been trying to do dramatic skies and always end up it getting muddy at some point and fail to revive it..since i tend to work on my paintings with glazing and layering methods and i find it really hard sometimes to work with acrylics in that fashion since i cant seem to find that brilliance in colours sometimes...i dont know if i am making sense..but would love to hear your views on how to bring the brightness...once u have made it muddy.

[@anujachoksi8139]

Thank you so much....would look forward to ur response.

[@nabeelshehadeh9395]

Beautiful Painting and Great technigues tank you mr Kevin

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

using acrylics when blending I think you can use some water to get some blending done

[@pennymuse3026]

I love your work with acrylics (also oils). I have a question. Does the amount of water you are using break down the pigment of the paint?

[@pollyclarke341]

Beautiful!

[@فنوتشكيل-ر8ع]

yes very beautiful

[@cherylbrach4794]

Hi. What I never see in any videos is paint mixing. I don't mean this color and that color I mean making the paint spread so smooth and cover so much canvas between paint dips. Do you dilute your paint first, how wet is your brush? Is your canvas wet? I am not asking about gesso use. Hope you can help me Thanks and keep up the good work

[@Lanaboro]

thank you for your amazing painting videos, you paint beautiful and you made me go back to paint again and you gave me more knowledge!your voice is really calming too. thank you & subscribed.

Really nice work,Mr.Hill, But it looks easier to look at,when comes to painting, I fumble what brush to choose to get the effect.Nice work

[@kleyvers]

a masterpiece!

[@misstila213]

Omg that mountain tho.... its dreaming

[@lissalaughery5363]

Although it is an acrylic painting, it is very pretty. I do not do acrylics and I hope you continue to paint with oils. Nice! Can you provide us with the brand and names of the colors you used. Also the size of the canvas and the brushes used. Thanks Kevin

[@christiancamacho6442]

Lissa Laughery Although it is an acrylic, it is very pretty? What's wrong with acrylics? I've been using them for 16 years and I wouldn't change them for anything. You can create a beautiful masterpiece with any medium if you master it.

[@lissalaughery5363]

I have been painting since 1992. I started off with acrylics and although oils are more expensive, I have a better turn out on my paintings. I enjoy oils. And for me, perhaps because they are more vibrant and the color doesn't fade as quickly as acrylics, I do well selling them. Thanks anyway. Happy painting! I mastered acrylics, and I do watercolors and pastels as well. I just started doodling. Fun! :) Yes, his painting is beautiful as are all of his others. I follow him daily and have purchased every DVD and his supplies in quantities. Also the Gamblin 1980 oil paints and the clear gel medium works wonders. Thanks Christian!

[@thevatsmethod]

What colours did you mix for the first base?

[@catherinegreenup4608]

I’ve got an odd problem with Acrylic, my light colours tends to darken so much when the dry they almost disappear. I have to remember to use much brighter colours to allow for them darkening, but that makes it difficult to gadge my bright and darks when putting paint on canvas. I use Lots of different makes of paint,

[@sarojkumaridrawingclasses4019]

Waw beautiful 😊😊😊

[@فنوتشكيل-ر8ع]

ohhhhhh you have more sightings !!!!!!!!!!

[@kananuppal7748]

Is it the same technique for painting oils & acrylic painting

[@shathasubhi4248]

Wow!

[@fvckerrrdg6033]

could you give a tutorial to choose brush to good method of painting

[@r.taylor7293]

hey Kevin thanks for the great video...can you consider doing a tonal style oil painting and maybe touch on some basic rules

[@madhumatiwaradpande3715]

Beautiful..

[@Sihgrady]

Do you have a complete tutorial, DVD, or something on this painting that shows the complete process? I love this one, and was thinking of it for a background for a hot-air balloon painting my husband wants me to do for his office. But would like a more detailed video of it that doesn't jump forward in the process so much. I looked on your sight but didn't see an option for this painting. I have purchased 3 of your brushes, and love them by the way, and will definitely be getting the rest of the set.

[@kananuppal7748]

Let me the acrylic colours u use are these heavy body paints What medium u use

[@nicolascarlosbermudez171]

Hola Kevin; me gustan mucho tus videos de pintura y los sigo en la medida que los entiendo pero me gustaria que fueran en español para poder seguirlos mejor. Gracias.

[@heelrunner]

This is amazing. Thanks for the video.

[@whitewing79]

Kevin, this is lovely and breathtaking!!! I tried painting with acrylics before, but I am having difficulty with it because they dry so fast and colors are so hard to blend once they are on canvas. But in this painting, you make it seem so easy. Do you have any tips on how to make acrylics behave like oils, like for doing wet on wet technique and blending colors seamlessly? Or any suggested mediums?

[@ruthmiller2853]

Amazing, awesome

[@donnalazar3061]

Full length videos would be helpful for us beginners

[@lulielawry]

would be good to know your starting palete colors

[@mixedupmargie]

Whats the purpose of the base brown, gray on the canvas? Pretty painting, tfs.

[@littleminainabigworld7434]

MixedUpMargie so you don't have to worry about covering all the little white grooves in the canvas and so you can place your values easier. If the canvas is white everything you put on it looks darker so it helps with shading and stuff

[@3443luisa]

Hermoso cielo.

[@desireeanne1875]

This is about 2 years old so I’m almost 100% sure you’ve figured this out with acrylic painting but you can use paint retarder so the paint doesn’t dry as fast. It works really well.

[@swarnlata7437]

You did not show the land side , how you painted and the left side of the painting too. Please show it.

[@desnard1]

Thank you so much! Here is the link to the acrylic paint that I use: paintwithkevin.com/acrylic-paint-for-sale.html

[@mckennab1338]

I personally think you would have better luck with using the same two inch brush you use for oils for the sky and filling in the foreground, the one you use for the acrylics seems like a pain in the keister. Just a thought.
