  • VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to draw and paint this sunset waterscape figure image of "CLIFF DIVE" with acrylic paint. You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this magical summer landscape image with a tall imposing rock formation, distant hills, a stunning fiery setting sun and a brave person leaping off of the sharp dangerous cliff face. You'll learn to paint this inspirational setting, with its colorful sky, warm rich tones and seductive silhouettes using an easy-to-follow step by step process. The warm glows of the beaming sun onto the person's body, the side of the large rock, the distant land and the water provides a tranquil ambiance to this natural oasis. You'll learn how to create dimension in the shape of the stone, land and figure with a simple layering technique to create contour highlights and shadows that will define the small details. You'll also learn how to create a dramatic sky and a blurry out-of-focus bokeh background using color theory and blending to guide you through a soft gradient of colors. When painting the land, water and reflections, you'll learn to use carefree impressionistic brushstrokes to create texture and dimension, which will add a photo realistic quality to the painting and make it look 3D. Use your imagination and customize this to resemble your favorite person, landscape, or time of the year. You could paint palm trees or pine trees off in the distant land, make high mountain peaks, or a tropical island, perhaps the swimmer could be a female, a child, or a man and woman sitting on the edge of the cliff, instead of jumping off. Maybe you paint birds in the sky, or a boat in the water. The point is to just have fun with it! With the enchanting athletic narrative that this painting represents, you'll be able to paint this image that will be a little dramatic and realistic at the same time, making for a beautiful painting to decorate your home with. You'll have fun painting it and you'll learn some valuable lessons along the way that you can utilize in future work. Let this powerful inspirational image symbolize strength, competitive nature, bravery and taking a leap of faith. Using only 3 brushes and 5 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a graceful beauty. So, let's get painting and let's get sipping!

    I love your paintings. You have inspired me to try painting. I only have one thing to say about this one; and I have never given my opinion on any of your paintings before. But in this painting, no one can hold their arms in that position. And divers always have their arms forward. Sorry. Had to say it. But other then that your paintings are beautiful!!!

    • @michellethepainter.
      @michellethepainter.  2 роки тому

      Hi Donna, for these tutorials I'm using a thin bodied student grade paint from Blick Materials called Blickrylics. They don't have the best pigment, but I like the consistency for layering and blending affects. I sell small sample sizes of the colors I use on my website (link below) if you want to try them before you invest in the larger bottles.
      Have fun painting!
