A Little Seascape in Acrylics | Painting Loose Full tutorial! 

Thank you very much Gail!!

Thank you so much 😀

Have fun with it!!!

Lol, sorry, don’t mean to be tough! I just want to give you the freedom to add or subtract what you want . After watching many times, eventually ideas will pop in your head, so I give you the liberty to add on as you wish!

Ahh, thank you Susan, glad you like the content!! I’ll do my best!

Glad you enjoyed it, I try to give as much pertinent information as possible!

Thanks for watching!!!

It’s not so bad, but I do agree with you that in the beginning it was a little daunting!! So I kept practicing here and there until I felt I was there! Plus I’d watch other artist back then and studied their work and finally it started to click. Then you start having your own technique on how to approach the subject. If it makes you feel any better I’m still learning from others!

Thank you so much!!!

You are so welcome!!!

Glad I was able to help!!

Thank you very much Roxanne!!!

Thank you very much!! Point taken, I’ll try for a larger canvas! How about an 11x14?

@@GebahiArtworks An 11x14 would be awesome !! 😀😎🎨 P.s. Your clouds look so neat in this painting !! And you do it so effortlessly lol. Maybe that's part of my problem with clouds, I try too hard for "perfection" instead of going more for feeling and *impression*. P.p.s. Wow those rocks really added another dimension to the painting !! They kind of lead you into the rest of the picture. Very cool !! 😎

@@blackdiamond5507 thank you!! Yes, stop looking for perfection, everyone falls for that trap, including me sometimes! Go for the feel or the essence!

My pleasure 😊!! I know it can get frustrating when making mistakes, especially with acrylics, but remember you didn’t invest too much time and it’s just a painting! Sometimes I have to remind myself. It’s happened to me before while doing a live video!

Lol!!

@@GebahiArtworks . It's true, back in the old days artists were begging to sell a painting 🎨 and they were looked down upon and told to get a real job, not anymore with RU-vid! RU-vid is making a lot of people very rich 🤑!

@@craig4867 yes, some, particularly those those that have been on the channel since the beginning! Now the algorithm is set for those stupid prank videos that get lots of views and other nonsense vids. Sometimes I don’t get it, the dumber and useless the video, the more likes and views! Sometimes it’s frustrating, and of course RU-vid is more likely to suggest those vids rather than mine because of money! I can’t win, sometimes I’m just discouraged, Lol! But whatever, I guess one day some people are going to come to the conclusion that they may need to learn something useful that can help them actually make money for themselves and not others! I’m just sitting back and do what I do.

@@GebahiArtworks . Regardless, you're still making a pretty good living and you do a darn good job! There's an artist out there a female, who has like 48 million views and tons of sponsors and she's always crying poor mouth 👄, she should try working on a roof for 10 or 12 hours a day in the blistering Sun ☀️!

Thank you!!!

Thank you very much Enid, I don’t mind it!! Enjoy the process!

Thank you, glad you liked it!!

If it were a new panel then I would leave it alone and not gesso it because I’m using a linen panel which has a finer weave! But I will gesso a panel or stretched canvas if it were already painted on. That’s what I do with the panels for tutorials, I keep recycling them by using gesso or Zinsser primer sealer Lowe’s!

Thank you very much!! The reason is because they are not the main focus and also to give contrast against the light on the water!

Good question!! I’ve used them in the past, and there is a learning curve, but my main issue with them (although they are practical), was that they took a long time to dry and stayed tacky FOR A LONG TIME!! And I got annoyed! And I think that’s what no one talks about. They just go back to traditional oils. But I finally found a way to work with them, and I may do another tutorial about it and I’ll mention all this as well! Thanks for bringing it up!

I peel off the old paint when the layers get thick on my palette! It’s one of those peel off palettes.

It’s my pleasure!! I actually this painting in oils originally, and did this tutorial in Acrylics due to demands. You may have to do this in 2 stages! I did the original oil Painting in 2 stages and it was an 8x10. I don’t know your skill level in oils but if I had to do it, maybe about an hour.

@@GebahiArtworks Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I will try to do in two settings. I will let you know. Kind Regards.

Thank you, I appreciate your support!!!

Lol !!
