In this step-by-step Acrylic Painting lesson from Acrylic Artist Jed Dorsey - the main instructor of Acrylic University - Jed will demonstrate how he took this painting from Good to Great.
My cousin was an artist and told me when I was young that there is a face in every painting. I see two profiles in the trees gazing at each other. Lovely.
great and even more fun listening to you think your way through the colors and options --yes one ordinary tree will give all those other trees the lime light ! You are Fun !!
I love the sun spots on the road and up the sides of the forest floor on the right side of the painting. Great improvement, I'd say.
Practiced magic. Really appreciate watching and hearing your decisions. A confident building exercise for certain. Thank you!!
Love the changes. Colours are amazing.
The second version is the best in my opinion. Love the colors.
I loved your advice about being brave and going for it and learning no matter whether the outcome is good or not. Push your boundaries and try things. Thanks for that!
It's beautiful, I think it looks better before ❤.
Beautiful recovery. Much better. Love your composition and use of vibrant colour.
Excellent! So glad I found your channel! 🔥
I enjoy listening to you very much; happy with the change, however, at time 19:28 you popped a christmas tree dead center, was waiting till you finished but I still see it at the end. The bottom of the christmas tree is right where you noticed the triangle. Love your work!
Wowooooooo! Really like your style of painting 👍👍👍
Wow! Good EXAMPLE OF HOW TO COVER WHAT IS PRECIOUS! LET GO! THANK YOU!!
Such a creative and lovely improvement you've created! The warm dappled sunlight makes the scene pop!
I don't understand how your pallet can be such a mess yet your colors are pure and unmuddied. And I really like both versions, but the second one better.
It does not look like a mess to me.
@@johnytwoor me!!. I love the changes you made, beautiful!!!.♥️
Nothing in the universe is 💯 pure in color. That’s how God created it. Image a world with no color variations. I have learned that my biggest mistakes are my most beautiful work. It is by accident & variations
I did notice he scraped away paint with a pallet knife to clear a space for new puddles of pain.
I'm just starting to draw and paint and your original really didn't impress me and by the time you added the yellow leaves and the tree trunks and branches I was hooked. The color you choose for the road I thought was iffy but with the filling in of the water and inland with the yellow, white and greens seemed to add interest to the whole painting. It no longer felt like an endless boring road to nowhere. Adding the yellow light coming across the road also gave it a more realistic natural feeling. In the end I'm loving it. I'm reminded of the old country backroads down home where I grew up. Thank you and God bless ❤
Just amazing how you transformed it out of your head!
It looks a whole lot better
I learned so much by watching this! I love how you changed it.
Having the base painting and changing it gives depth and layers in the over painting
I liked the last one better, the light was the Bling that did it for me. Is a good lesson..
I love it. It’s a perfect time of day; I imagine it’s evening, and I’m almost home to my parents’ from the city up north. ❤
I think the changes brought it to life and pretty effortlessly! I like it a lot
I like the new improved painting it really pops
So excited to be here!!!
Just amazing change
LUV LUV Your Painting, both versions, Soo Simple yet So Beautiful, thank you!!
I think you really improved the painting, and I'm really impressed with the way you dared apply more and more colors, it will help me so much to do the same, because I'm so scared to ruin my paint if I add too many hues of colors .. thank you so much for sharing.
Nice! You have me getting ready to adjust a recent painting!
Love, love it, and I agree. Not mud, but beautiful muted and surprise colors!
Once you muted the brown and then added the colour surprise it felt more cohesive and full of Nature's Magic. Love the changes
Love it!
Thank you Jed.... you are an inspiration... I appreciate you sharing your thoughts as you paint... you open up new ways of looking at the process and encourage creativity to come forward without hesitation
God bless you 🙏
thank you for doing this demo, very helpful
It is a more cohesive painting.
Even if you strike out, at least you went down swinging! love it
I so want to learn how you know where the lights and darks go. How to give the feeling of depth and distance by mixing color. I have a Loooong way to go and watching this I need to just try. You won’t learn if you don’t try! It’s scary, but I guess scary is fear it won’t be right or good enough… but is that for myself or what others might think? Geez, the emotional s**t I put myself through… Arghh…I love what you do and glad I found you! I have a feeling I will learn some great things. Thank you for what you do!!
What an incredible transformation. I would have never imagined.
Yes, wonderfull 😮
I like the switch back at the end of the road so it looks like you are going back to the right. Also the brown looks good but needs some balance on right side where the green is. Also a few high twigs up in top of the tree on right. Looks great though
I want to walk around that corner! I definitely love the changes and I love that you are an acrylics artist. It seems to me like most of the acrylics artists on UA-cam paint fantasy or poster style, but when I saw your face I recognized you from Eric Rhoads Art School Live, so I knew your style is something I am interested in. Thank you for sharing this. I have some paintings that are OK, but I know they aren't as good as they could be. You have given me some ideas.
Love your style of painting. Thank you for the lesson. One thing I would change a bit; my eye is drawn to the 'smile' of bright green leaves in the middle just above the road.
I really like BOTH Jed!
I think the revised version is stunning!!! And I think it was a great choice to fix!
I❤it. Playing with colors 😊
much brighter and more cheerful
❤ Can you please do a demo with bright colors? Put some neon in it while you at. The brighter the better.
I have enjoyed watching you.
Light streaks are better in the second one but I liked the distant water showing though the center in the first one
While watching this I immediately thought of one of my paintings that I just wasn't happy with. After, I went to work on fixing it using your advise and I must say mine is much better now!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Very excellent. You are the pro!!!
On the left I kept hoping you’d do some work on the trees - seemed like blue wrapped the tan and the green wrapped the blue too similarly. But that is nit-picking. It’s gorgeous!
Great job!
Success!!
love it
6:42 PM I really like the changes you have made.
I really liked the view to the lake too through what appears to be an orchard, but I respect your decision as the artist to get it where you want it. 😊
Me too
I would put some orange bushes under the tree with the light coming on it like the autumn bush
Hi Jed, love the idea of if you want to make a change you can. Can you put some action into the painting? For a demonstration purposes?
I would have stopped long before you added the final magical touches-patience and sticking to it-traits to learn! Plus-look at it again…
Do you clean your paintbrush between colors? Like when you went from the purple road to the green trees.
Absolutely 💯
I think it’s more interesting than the first one.
Thank you for sharing process. “You have to push a lot of paint if you want to call yourself an artist.”
Beautiful!!!
You need a sunray coming from behind dark greentree.
Curious about the light on the left coming through the trees - shouldn't there be a stronger beam of light to hit the opposite side of the road?
Something about the two “stripes” of orange on the right up the bank -the ones close together around the trunk of the tree-are bothering me… maybe merge them slightly in a couple places? Really liked when you streamed the light across the road where it turned. I love it overall! Just lovely!
Yup, my eyes stopped there instead of leading me to the end of the road
Beautiful painting and lesson. What colors are you using to paint with please?
Thanks,
Nice!
It is a much more interesting painting than the original.
not sure about the bright green tree at end of road. ..rounded bottom? or is that 2 rocks?
The left side needs some more light breaking through the dark green tree. The main light is coming from Back left side
So interesting! We're you always intending to put the light streaming across the road and up the bank or was it out of necessity because you needed a way for the viewer's eye to travel through the painting? Same thing happened when you put the tree trunks it, it block our eyes from going off the frame to flow back to the strong contrast on the otherside.
Which Orange did you add in please?
great
How are your paints staying moist?
I would add just a trickle of water on both sides of the road.
Yes, It is more inviting and I want to be in the scene. I also want to linger and go around the corner.
Love all of it so far but I think more sky holes above the yellow foliage would improve it. Too solid (Not quite to the end. Maybe you thought of it too )
Perhaps just a touch of that orange where the road bends...I'm only at 33.56 in the video...
What brand of paints are you using in this demo? They almost seem like Golden, but I’m not sure. Thanks
I use Windsor Newton Acrylics :-) They don't dry darker as much as other paints tend to. Just a preference!
I notice that when you originally did this painting, you added a lot more detail to the tree's leaves. Your style seems to be a lot looser now, so the repainted trees on the right have a lot less detail on the inside, (not in direct highlight). I don't think there's anything wrong with that, just an interesting observation. It's beautiful!
Prefer the original and IMO it's more accurate. In the revision, if the sun is on the left casting light on the road wouldn't we see a bit of it filtering through the trees on the left?
Bigimprovement
Christmas Tree at the curve in the road?
Are you getting touchs of water - I do not see you using warer
It's a great painting but personally I feel like the left lower side where the grasses is too busy I feel that should be an access accent to the painting but right now it's competing
I like the cool tones of the road but I think it looks too much like snow
did you start this painting using your own imagination or from a picture or place you saw?
💕💯🎨🎨🎨
Jed what brand are you using? I buy expensive acrylics but the saturation and opacity is nothing like yours.
Except job,
If I want to criticize my self I will paint another one and compare but will be two different paints, I personally never paint in top of one of my paintings I respect them very much I put a lot of time on them to destroy it
More alive!
It’s not a oops it’s a surprise
Absolutely beautiful. The heart shape at the base of the curve bothers me.
I liked the changes that you did by adding in some brighter colors. But the tree in the middle at the curve of the road seems off and unfinished. It has a darker green splotch in the lower portion with no dimension and part of the light bright green of that tree is in front of the dark green tree on the left which causes it to look like in is both in the background but also in front of a tree that is on the other side of the road. But I really enjoy watching how some adjustments can really improve a composition.
The light on road too narrow and strait
road is much better
I’m not liking the end of the road, seems lost
It looks very nice but i can see too many faces in it which bothers me.
I wish you would have stopped sooner. I liked it less defined.
It needs more work.
