How to Paint a Blurry Bokeh Background with Acrylic Paints
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- In this video I show you my two processes for painting blurry out of focus 'Bokeh' backgrounds using acrylic paint. This method really spend up my painting time and allowed me to create much more realistic finished paintings. I hope you find this video useful in your own work.

Can you do a video talking about the benefits of using canvas vs wooden pallets and maybe the process of prepping both? And maybe a video on why and how to varnish acrylic paintings?
It would be great if you gave a mini tutorial on how to mix the airbrush paints -- brand, exact proportion, cleaning afterwards. Guaranteed it would be popular! This info was great. Thanks!
What an amazing piece, it’s like 3d, I love it. Thank you.
Love the background technique, and the details on the little bird!🤗🐦🎨
Thank you! Cheers!
You are such a talented artist! Love watching you work
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent and explaining things so well. I learn so much from you.
You are a wonderful artist and your videos are so easy to understand and helpful! thank you!
Again, your boundless knowledge so freely given. Bless you. You are an exceptional artist and teacher. Will get your books.
It does create a beautiful fantasy-like effect for sure...Thank you for this.
Echt prachtig!🤩 Ga het ook proberen. Ik heb een rondjesmal, maar gewoon met penseel.🖌️
I used this video to make a background and it turned out SO beautiful thank you so much!!!
So relaxing watching this video
Beautiful. It looks real.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for your clear and easy to understand instructions. I am just starting out using acrylic as a medium (versus watercolour or drawing) and like semi-realism. Love your work.
Thank you for the inspiration! This artwork is just lovely)
I love this so much!!! Very beautiful!❤🎉❤❤❤
Spectacular!!
Técnica sensacional!!!!
Thank you sooo much, absolutely beautiful technique so beautifully done ❤
Thanks for sharing different techniques brother, it helps a lot
Owe! this is absolutely awesome!!!!! Thank you so much
Oh my gosh, I’ve been doing my circles with a brush. Never again!!! Thank you!
Wow! This is outstanding 😍 so beautiful 👍
so beautiful!
Love this!
Thanks for this, I usually use my airbrush for backgrounds, but I will try the brush method. I will also try airbrushing with the colours and mid grey to see if it produces the same effect when blending.
Incredible!
truly beautiful thanks for sharing
Painting a Bokeh background, cool
Beautiful

Gracias, excelente maestro...
Superb!

very good ideas!
Awesome video with so much inspiration. Amazing. New subscriber and looking forward to see more. Blessings and take care.
Super!!!
Omggg color mixing looks sooooo delicious n yummy 😅❤❤❤
curious if this would work with any color background, even pink per say? as long as it shares the same value as the background, it should be good? well I am going to try it out at least, wish me luck! thank you for the amazing video, your painting abilities are AMAZING
Love this video! The background is amazing and the bird looks like it's going to fly away!
Thank you!
Great paintings and good advice.😊 Please stress the health and safety for people with Asthma and COPD. I have both, coupled with a very dry throat due to indigestion acic burns. I cant even use a mask for either pastels or an air brush.
For the Bokeh effect I will have to try and get round that in my own way.
If I can develope a safer way.....I will put any results on here. All the best to you, your work is fantastic.
Thank you so much 🙏💞
I sure hope you read this comment. I’m in my 60s and have buried too many of my artist friends because they didn’t understand the type of mask and ventilation system you need for work. Too many use a dust mask when a respirator is needed. Ventilation needs to be more than an open window or a HEPA air cleaner next to your work. Particulates don’t just go up your nose. Do some research, your future is very important, and what you do is emulated by your students.
Hi, I'm also an artist and work with acrylics (but no airbrushes as shown in this video, just paintbrushes straight onto canvas). What you wrote is a bit surprising so I'd love to get some clarification if you're willing to share. The need for a respirator is really only for airbrushing, not general acrylic work, correct? I'd done research on this and what I read was that acrylic paint is generally safe to work with without a mask and if you don't apply heat to it (eg. using a hairdryer to speed up the paint's drying process). Of course, you still need a well ventilated space, but did you mean that respirators are only needed when using airbrushes? Thank you in advance!
@@pourquoipa5 any time you create aerosols or particulates creates well documented risk. Airbrushing is hardly the only way to create aerosols. Using a mouth atomizer, flicking from a brush, or slapping a brush (the Bob Ross method) creates aerosols. Using any pigment delivery system that creates dust makes particulate (pastels, graphite, etc). Know your medium, the toxicity is labeled on modern materials, and take appropriate measures to be safe. Acrylics are a safer medium but don’t assume they can be used without precaution. Know your pigments, just being water soluble isn’t an indicator of safety. Work safe, absence of odor is not an indicator or safety. And understand the disposal of wastewater for the paints you use.
@@juliemulie1805Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! You've given me a good idea what I should research specifically, so thank you x100!
Nice idea!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello, how do you prepare the MDF panel and what varnish do you mainly cover your paintings with?
Really cool technique. What paints and brands did you use?
Oh dang, I don't have an air brush. 😩 I love those circles. The detail your bird is amazing.
Use the circle stencils with a sponge and offload most of the paint before stenciling for a barely there circle.
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Grasias por este video yo lo hacia con el pincel pero esta un pomas dificil pero con esa tecnica de los circulos es mas facil i practico
You have any videos on varnishing your acrylic paintings? You ever try using Gamvar to varnish acrylic paintings?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👏👏.I have a question.Do you clean your brush each time before you blend them ?
For the background no, but for the bird itself I do
Как круто 😃
When buying an airbrush, buy a mid-price quality piece and then consider spare parts and ease of getting them. Companies like Paasche, Sparmax are two I can think of.... In England, Schmincke Acrylics or Golden airbrush colors (They are sold there)... use low air pressure, under 20 psi as I use an open window with a mini fan...with COVID I'm so tired of wearing a mask...LOL ... also very nice work and finally someone who thinks outside the box! I still own a "MOUTH DIFFUSER" from the 1930's....
Hello Daniel.
For making these circles with airbrush you could try the colours from VALLEJO. They have a range acrylic paints special for airbrush, and in about 210 (!!) different colours. Only disadvantage is it's sold in only 17 ml. bottles. But you can dilute them.

What can we use instead of airbrush??? 😊😊😊
thanks for sharing .... I love the airbrush...but when it spits, it can ruin a painting pretty quick.
🙏👌😍
Can I ask how you thin your acrylic paints down to go through your airbrush? Being a cake artist for 30 something years, my airbrush has never seen anything that’s non-edible. I know how to work with that in an airbrush, but I don’t know how to work with acrylic, paints, and an airbrush. Thank you so much!
How lightfast are the affordable acrylic paints? I’ve seen few artists using them, while I shell out 100s on Golden and Liquitex- please share!
Not sure if I’m not seeing it, but what airbrush from Amazon did you have exactly?
How much water you have mix in color?
Where did you buy the circle stencil from?
Hobbycraft 😁
Are you rinsing your brush between colors?
Yes, I’ll rinse and dry between colours
Couldn't you get a similar effect from using a pouncer with thinned down acrylics and lightly press onto the canvas?
Yes I imagine you could, I’ve never tried it though. My only thought with that method is the individual circles might look too consistent. Using the airbrush adds some subtle gradients within each of the circles making them look a bit softer.
May I know the kind of palette please
do you have reference for this painting
Hi. I really appreciate your videos. You mention your patron channel with a painting session of your bird. How do I access this, where do I find it. Thankyou.
Hi, here’s the link www.patreon.com/StudioWildlife
How to draw circles without airbrush ?
If you are doing it without an airbrush you could still use a stencil but apply the paint with a sponge or a brush instead. You could also cut a sponge into a circle shape and use that on its own too
@@StudioWildlife thanks
Hi,
Why you are outlining with white instead of dark colors...reason please
This video explains it ua-cam.com/video/WsG39KrhGEw/v-deo.html
Back light effect.
Thanks for this tutorial ☺️
Also, you said that the paint in the sprayer was acrylic but then said that you used paint thinner and that the process had fumes. 😢
fumey :)
I found it!😂😂
What is the point of photographic paintings? Isn't that what photographs are for?
You really don't need an airbrush for this. I just use a round foam sponge.
Wow that just spoke VOLUMES!😂
🙃 I don't have an airbrush...and don't you need an air compresser with these
That's too $$> air compressor
nice, but I don't understand why to paint background circles produced only by lens of camera ? :-) It has nothing to do with nature nor human seeing.
Photographs are used as art. People put them on walls and enjoy looking at the images created by a camera lens. I see a lot of artwork where the bright spots created by the light hitting the lens as part of the imagery and people enjoy it.
Often, minimizing the background is helpful in artwork for increasing the focus on the subject. The human eye does not blur out the background like an artist may choose to do in his work, either. So this common technique also is not how the human eye views the world.
There are more techniques used by artists that are also not natural to the human eye. Techniques such as minimal information)detail provided by the artist for artistic reasons.
All of these and more besides are reasons why the artist is not limited to the experience of the human eye.
Why not just buy a photograph? Why paint it to look like a photograph? What is the point of that?
The process of art my dear can not be explained to someone with your mindset. You have already made your mind up using the word pointless.
Why do you do anything at all in life? You know you won't live forever.
Gah, was looking forward to this topic, then he got an airbrush out. Should include airbrush in the title so i dont waste my time getting part way through a video i wouldn't want to watch
