Acrylic Painting: How to Paint a Landscape Step by Step with Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Acrylic Painting for Beginners - How to Paint an Abstract Landscape on Canvas Step by Step!

Welcome to my acrylic painting class!  In this class, I am going to teach you how to paint an abstract landscape with acrylic paint on canvas. Each step is broken down into shorter lessons so you can learn the techniques I use to create paintings just like this one.  I show you the paint colors and supplies that I use, how I block in my composition, and how I layer my acrylic paint to create a sense of depth in my paintings.

I hope that this class inspires you to create your own landscape painting! 

I have my reference photo and a supply list below. If you create a painting, I would love to see it! Click on "Projects & Resources" below the video and then "Create Project"  to upload a photo of your landscape painting. 

6 x 8 inch canvas
Flat paint brushes, size 12 and size 1 inch
Water to clean your brushes
Palette paper or a paper plate
Acrylic paint 

Paint Colors (I use Golden Fluid Acrylics)
Turquoise Phthalo 
Hansa Yellow Medium
Titanium White 
Carbon Black 
Raw Umber

Golden paints are professional grade paints and therefore they are expensive. If you are a beginner, I encourage you to look at some of the student grade paint options such as Liquitex Basics or Blick.

I used this reference photo for the composition but decided to make my sky much more stormy!
